"Kong Ming has the talent to assist the king!"
Guo Jia bowed sincerely. He no longer saw Zhuge Liang as an eight-year-old child, but as a scholar who could converse with him.
"However, there is no need for Zhuge Liang to worry too much. I came from Yuzhou and went north to Jizhou to observe Yuan Shao.
"Moreover, the capital is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Snowy Dragon Cavalry are guarding, and Luoyang's Eight Passages are stable. It was only a matter of time before His Majesty swept the world!
"The situation of the people being displaced and living in poverty will soon change. Moreover, looking at His Majesty's edict, everything he said and did wanted to reform the world. In the future, it would definitely change with each passing day and revive the Great Han Dynasty!”
"Brother Fengxiao is wise."
Zhuge Liang nodded and cupped his hands in return."Ran Yue Dan slandered Your Majesty and has already caused all the scholars in the world to misunderstand Your Majesty. If this matter is not resolved, there will definitely be no scholars who will dare to submit in the future!”
"Kong Ming is still young!"
Guo Jia smiled and said something that could only be understood after being beaten up by society,
"As long as there are enough benefits, it's enough for anyone to take the risk!
"It's fine if those ignorant scholars don't want it, but those smart ones will definitely see through the rumors. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise.
"Then why are they still watching from the sidelines? However, the benefits were not enough to tempt them. The benefits given by the aristocratic families and the benefits given by the Emperor were on par, so they were hesitant and wanted to continue watching!”
Zhuge Liang was greatly shocked!
After all, Zhuge Liang was only eight years old. It was already rare for him to be familiar with the books of sages. He had also read the thoughts of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country. Unlike those scholars who had already used their own value to exchange for benefits?
Guo Jia's words gave Zhuge Liang a different perspective, causing him to fall into deep thought!
Seeing that his good friend was about to lead Genius astray, Xun Yu quickly came over to stop him. Who knew that at this moment, the Jinyiwei would arrive.
"His Majesty has decreed that General Zhuge Zhengwo and Minister Xun Yu should go to the Academy of Sciences for an audience!”
"This general will obey!" "This subject obeys the decree!"
After Zhuge Zhengwo and Xun Yu made arrangements, they immediately went to the Academy of Sciences.
The Academy of Science had just been established, but because of its status as one of the nine ministers, it had aroused the curiosity of many scholars and commoners in the capital!
Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia wanted to follow him, but their levels were obviously not high enough!
The Academy of Sciences was located in the Guangyang Gate area on the west side of the Imperial City. Not far from the gate was the West Garden, and further ahead was the White Horse Temple.
In the territory of the Imperial City, where every inch of land was worth gold, the Academy of Science was built in such a large area. It was enough to prove Liu Bian's determination and attitude towards the Academy of Sciences.
During this period of time, the number of skilled craftsmen who came to the Academy of Sciences to register was like a river crossing the river, but very few could pass completely. Liu Bian could only lower the standard and barely pass, which allowed the huge Academy of Sciences to flourish.
When Zhuge Zhengwo and Xun Yu arrived, they noticed that many of the three dukes and nine ministers had already arrived. After bowing to each other, they entered to meet the Emperor!
Liu Bian was mingling with a group of craftsmen. Some of these craftsmen were illiterate, some knew a few words, and some were very knowledgeable. There were so many of them, but they all had their own special characteristics.
In the words of the future generations, these talents were considered partial talents! He was a professional technical talent!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials bowed. Liu Bian was calm and composed, but the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences were at a loss.
Although the Academy of Sciences was the same as the nine ministers, many people had yet to change their mindset.
Liu Bian didn't mind. He knew that he still needed time to adapt, so he went straight to the point,""Beloved ministers, rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As the officials stood up, Liu Bian's expression remained unchanged, but he said calmly,""Do you all know what Yue Dan's evaluation of me is?!”
Boom!
It was like a sudden explosion of thunder on a clear day. These old foxes with extremely high political awareness had already heard the aura of a storm from their calm words.
They immediately knelt down and shouted in unison,"We are useless! To the extent that His Majesty was slandered! We are useless!"
"I don't blame you! Now that the Imperial Court has no control over the region, those dukes are eager for someone to slander my innocence so that they can have a good excuse!”
Liu Bian wasn't stupid. He could see it clearly. The Xu brothers who organized the monthly review were actually part of the aristocratic families.
Liu Bian had massacred the aristocratic families in the capital, but the ancestral lands of the aristocratic families were all over the world. These places were beyond his reach, which was why he had not uprooted them!
"However, Zhen has already found a solution. This matter is also beneficial to the scholars of the world!”
The officials were a little suspicious, but they did not dare to get up!
They looked at each other, guessing what method it was.!
Could it be that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had already set up a network of intelligence agencies?!
That was not right. The intelligence network could only gather intelligence, but it could not command the local warlords.
Although it was somewhat absurd, even if Liu Bian had the Snow Dragon Cavalry, his influence was limited to Luoyang, the capital, and he could not reach them. He did not care about the court!
As they looked at each other, everyone looked at Xun Yu, asking him to step forward. "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the solution?" Xun Yu asked helplessly.”
"Beloved ministers, rise and look at this engraving!”
At this moment, the ministers raised their heads and looked at the engraving that was filled with the smell of ink. The engravings were like seals, neatly arranged and engraved with words.
"Your Majesty, is this…a seal?" Xun Yu guessed.”
The seal had existed since the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bian explained,"This is movable type printing. It uses a matrix to engrave reversed characters, and the characters are printed on paper!
"Compared to copying, movable type printing saves time and effort. You can print an entire piece of paper in a snap of your fingers.”
The ministers were shocked!
They couldn't care about anything else. They obediently stood up and looked at the movable type printing technique!
Everyone understood that if His Majesty was right, the world would change!
That was definitely a literary revolution!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Xun You was a little surprised, but with his resourcefulness, he quickly noticed the details." These matrixes can be moved, and they can be disassembled to assemble and arrange themselves. Now, even books can be printed directly!”
"Such an invention is unprecedented. All the scholars in the world will benefit greatly!”Cao Cao was also surprised. He touched it and was shocked." Your Majesty, why is this paper as white as snow and as smooth as a mirror?!”
The ministers were attracted by the movable type printing technique and did not notice the difference in the paper. At this moment, after Cao Cao's reminder, everyone looked at the paper and exclaimed!
Compared to the coarse paper of Marquis Cai, the paper in front of them was as smooth as a mirror and as white as snow. It was already an excellent writing material and could completely replace the silk bamboo slips!
"This is the paper making technique that I ordered the Academy of Science to improve. It is as smooth as a mirror and as white as snow. Moreover, the cost was cheap, and ordinary people could afford it!”Liu Bian explained.
The ministers were shocked and then overjoyed!
"Your Majesty is a saint!”
"With the advent of movable type printing and white paper, all the scholars in the world will benefit greatly!!!”
"If we use this opportunity to print the contents of the book and promote it to the world, those scholars who don't have books at home and can't get a famous classic can also buy it themselves!”
"Your Majesty! I thank Your Majesty on behalf of all the scholars in the world!!”
These officials were not fawning over him, they were truly grateful to Liu Bian from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially the civil officials. They knew how valuable movable type printing and white paper were to the scholars of the world!
Xun Yu was also surprised. He asked curiously,""The method Your Majesty mentioned just now, is it movable type printing and white paper? To change the scholars 'opinion of His Majesty?!”
"Not only that!"
Liu Bian ordered someone to bring over a newspaper full of words and asked,""Do you know the secret behind it?”
"This, this is the court bulletin?"
In fact, there were newspapers in ancient times, but they were court bulletins that copied the discussions in the court. Every official in the capital received a copy.
They looked at the newspaper, which was filled with evidence of the Yuan family's crimes. There were even handwritten letters from Yuan Kui who had conspired with the Yellow Turban and sold his official positions.
Even a skilled craftsman could engrave a lifelike picture on a grain of rice, let alone engrave the contents of a letter into a matrix?
The ministers were not surprised by this, but what shocked them was that they had guessed the way the Emperor wanted to retaliate against Yue Danping's slander!
Yu Lun Offensive!
This was the real attack of the Fish Theory!
With the improved white paper and movable type printing technique, they would then cover the entire world with their Fish Theory offensive!
Weren't the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Eastern and Western Factories just in time to build intelligence agencies? If these intelligence networks could not command the local dukes, could they not publish their own newspapers?!
What could prove his innocence more directly and simply than the overwhelming circulation of newspapers and the bombardment of fishing boats?
Even if His Majesty used the newspaper to transmit the imperial edict, the local warlords would directly ignore it or even deliberately intercept it.
But the commoners could see it! Those patriots who were loyal to their country could see it! Those loyal followers of His Majesty could see it!
At that time, the newspapers would be able to command the world!
