After three rounds of wine,
After the meal, Zhao Yu brought Tong Yuan and Zhao Ping to the study room with Zhao Yun.
He beckoned Tong Yuan and the others to sit down.
"Tell me, what did you want to say earlier? Why did you shrink your family's business? Did you find out anything?"
Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Yu and asked.
"Master is wise!"
Zhao Yu nodded and handed the documents that Zhao Ping had collected about the recent movements and distribution of people in the Road of Peace to Tong Yuan.""Take a look at this first!"
Zhao Yu then looked at Zhao Yun,"Zilong, you should take a look too."
"Oh?"
Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun took the document in surprise.
"Eh? This is paper?"
Before he could read the contents of the document, Tong Yuan was attracted by the material of the document."This paper is so white and smooth. It's very different from Cai Hou's paper!”
"How could you bear to use so much paper to record information?”
In fact, the Eastern Han Dynasty already had the art of making paper, and it was Cai Lun who had improved it.
However, it still couldn't change the problem of expensive construction.
Ordinary people could not afford it.
Moreover, the quality of the Cai Hou paper was far inferior to the paper in his hand.
Tong Yuan looked at the stack of documents in his hand. It was probably dozens of pages long.
How much money was this?
The Zhao family was so generous that they could use the precious paper at will?
Or could it be that Zhao Yu had mastered a new paper-making technique?
"Haha!"
Zhao Yu smiled knowingly." This paper was made by my own family. I improved the paper making technique. Therefore, the cost of making this paper is much lower than you think.”
"In fact, it's much lower than bamboo slips, and the production is even greater. The cost of a piece of paper is less than a penny.”
"Hiss?"
Tong Yuan took a deep breath and said in horror,""Less than a penny? How is this possible?"
Zhao Yun didn't have much of an idea when she heard that. She asked in confusion,"Master, is this very low?"
He had never touched paper before, so he didn't know what it meant.
"Of course!"
Tong Yuan nodded with certainty.
For a moment, he thought of many things.
Then, he looked at Zhao Yu with a serious expression and asked,""Kid, tell me honestly. Did you leak this thing? Answer me seriously! This is very important."
Zhao Yu saw through Tong Yuan's thoughts and immediately gave him a reassuring look.""Master, don't worry! I'm not stupid! Naturally, I know the severity of the matter."
"So, don't worry. I only use this paper and paper making technique among the trusted people in my family.”
"I've never revealed the cost of making paper to outsiders, let alone the process of making paper!”
"The paper mill has also gone through extremely strict confidentiality measures to ensure that it will not be leaked.”
"You and Zilong are both people I absolutely trust, so I told you.”
He knew better than Tong Yuan how disastrous it would be for his family if the paper making technique was leaked.
The value of this item was too high and the impact was too great. With the Zhao family's current power and status, they could not protect this item at all.
It might even lead to the destruction of the entire clan.
He trusted Tong Yuan's character.
In this era, the relationship between master and disciple was even closer than in the future.
Besides, even if he was wrong, he could completely deny it.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a piece of paper cost less than a penny?
"You!"
When Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun heard this, they were extremely touched.
This was absolute trust!
"Senior Brother, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't tell anyone!”
Zhao Yun immediately swore.
"Me too!"
Tong Yuan also expressed his opinion.
"Haha! You don't have to do this! How can I not trust you? If you don't trust me, you won't explain? You should take a look at the contents first! This is the key!"
Zhao Yu smiled and waved his hand.
"As long as you know what you're doing! Before he had absolute confidence, he absolutely could not reveal it!”
Tong Yuan nodded and couldn't help but remind her again. Then, he started to read the contents of the document with Zhao Yun.
The more they looked, the more shocked they became, and the deeper their brows furrowed.
After reading it, Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Yu with a serious expression and asked,""Is the information inside true? Did the Path of Peace really have more than a million members? Are they really planning to rebel?"
"Thousand Truths and Ten Thousand Senses!"
" Yes." Zhao Yu nodded with certainty." Moreover, if nothing goes wrong, they will start the rebellion in the first half of next year."”
"Hiss!"
Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun both sucked in a breath of cold air.
"How dare they?"
Zhao Yun asked in disbelief and confusion," In the past three years, I've seen and come into contact with many members of the Path of Peace when I traveled with Master.”
"Aren't they good people who advocate saving the people and drawing talisman water everywhere to save people? Why did you have rebellious thoughts?"
"Don't they know that this will lead to an even greater disaster?”
"Don't you know that this will involve more innocent people in the war and cause a large number of innocent people to die?”
"Why did you do that?"
Zhao Yun couldn't understand.
When Tong Yuan and the other two saw this, they shook their heads helplessly.
"Zilong, you're still too young and naive!”
Zhao Yu shook his head in amusement." The crux of this matter isn't that simple. Right and wrong aren't absolute.”
"As for the specifics, you need to personally witness it in the future and analyze it.”
"Even if I tell you an answer now, it might not be the answer you want.”
Was the Path of Peace completely wrong?
Not necessarily!
But were they right?
Not necessarily.
To judge whether something was good or bad, one had to look at it from what angle and standpoint.
Based on the history of his previous life, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Peace Road, had good intentions from the beginning.
Unfortunately, the result was a bad one.
In the Road of Peace, the Yellow Turban Army started from a rebellion by a large number of people who couldn't survive. In the end, it went out of control and turned into a bad result.
"Indeed!"
Tong Yuan nodded in agreement and warned Zhao Yun earnestly,"Your senior brother is right! The answers we give may not be correct. Everything still needs to be witnessed by you in the future, to summarize and judge.”
Zhao Yun nodded seriously.
Although he didn't understand it, he remembered it.
He secretly made up his mind that he would try his best to witness and judge with his own eyes in the future.
Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Yu and said,"Since you've already made such a judgment, it makes sense that you chose to shrink your family's business.”
"Kid, your preparations should be more than this, right? Tell me everything!"
"In addition, you specially revealed to me that you need my help with something, right? Tell me about it. If I can help you, I will definitely help you.”
Disciples had their own ideas and ambitions, and they wanted to make a name for themselves. As a master, he naturally had to do his best to support them.
