At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 670

The teaching resources and the level of teachers of Taixue have made a qualitative leap.

In short, Taixue has entered normal operation, returned to the status of the real highest institution, and further expanded its enrollment, from [-] to [-]. It seems that there is a possibility of further expansion.

At this stall, Guo Peng received a "special" playbook.

It was Mi Zhu, the governor of Qingzhou, who wrote this memorial.

Mi Zhu said that Zuo Bo, a master papermaker in Qingzhou, has developed a perfect technology for large-scale and large-scale papermaking, and can produce a large amount of paper at a very low cost. He is willing to dedicate this technology to His Majesty the Emperor. To express his gratitude and loyalty to the Wei Empire.

Guo Peng was "overjoyed" when he heard that, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to send people to Qingzhou to investigate the authenticity of the matter, and then report back to him.

This matter has attracted the attention of some people.

However, scholars at that time were mainly focused on academic reorganization, and the reaction to this news was not enthusiastic.

Scholars who have an advantage in family law are nervously clearing up the relationship with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, thinking about gaining an advantage in the next promotion of filial piety.

Scholars who do not have the advantage of family law do not want to lose the opportunity to be an official, so they hurriedly begged their grandpa to tell their grandma to find connections everywhere and try to change their families.

Those nine family laws have been abandoned by most of the students.

Except for some diehards who refuse to accept this reality and still wait for the opportunity to rise again with their own family law, most people are more thoughtful.

Originally, those who practiced these five kinds of family law at the same time were fortunate among misfortunes. Those who did not practice these five kinds of family law at the same time had a bigger problem.

It's one thing to change schools, it's another thing to learn again.

But they're better off than the guys who get exiled to the frontier and never come back and lose their official qualifications altogether.

Anyway, there is still some hope, as long as there is no trouble, the emperor will not cancel their household registration.

Among their concerns, the most important thing is their future career, and everything else can be temporarily sidelined.

Then, at the end of June, officials from the Ministry of Industry brought Zuo Bo and his papermaking skills to Luoyang.

Guo Peng "demonstrated" his papermaking craft in front of Guo Peng. Guo Peng was "overjoyed" and summoned important courtiers in the court to watch his papermaking craft and the results brought about by it.

Seeing such a magnificent paper production line, the courtiers were all amazed.

Then Uncle Zuo knelt in front of Guo Peng in public and asked to dedicate this papermaking skill to the court to help the court handle official affairs better.

"The Chen family has lived in Qingzhou for generations. Unfortunately, they encountered the disaster of the Yellow Turban. The family members were killed and the family property was destroyed. It is all thanks to His Majesty to wipe out the Yellow Turban, so that the Chen family can be revived. Today, I would like to dedicate the papermaking skills to Your Majesty. May my Wei be prosperous and prosperous! "

Look at what this says.

it's beautiful.

Seeing the inexplicable expressions of many ministers, Guo Penglong was delighted.

"This move has greatly improved the difficulty of using paper in our court. The bamboo slips are too heavy to be portable, and the paper is light but expensive. During the Northern Expedition, the Ministry of War alone used 17 sheets of paper. It can be seen that the amount of paper in our dynasty is huge. My uncle's actions will benefit the country and the people, I am very relieved, and I cannot reward him without a title!"

Guo Peng named Uncle Zuo the third-class earl on the spot, sealed him in his hometown, and gave him three hundred households in Shiyi.

Then Zuo Bo was appointed as Wailang, a member of the Papermaking Department of the Ministry of Industry, who was in charge of papermaking. There was only one thing that needed to be done—faster, better, and larger papermaking.

Before all the ministers could react, Guo Peng had already accepted the papermaking industry as an official business, and also conferred the title and official position on Uncle Zuo, and let him be responsible for producing a larger amount of paper.

Uncle Zuo was overjoyed and said that he still had a large amount of paper in Qingzhou, and he was willing to "dedicate" it to the court and His Majesty the Emperor to thank His Majesty for his kindness.

Guo Peng laughed and agreed.

The big show ended in such a smooth and smooth manner.

This big play started from Guo Peng’s youth, when he was young, he started writing scripts and looking for actors, and then he started directing, and when he was middle-aged, he started post-production and preparations for release. Finally the curtain falls.

It's been almost 30 years.

After 30 years of hard work, this piece of paper has finally gained a firm foothold, completely replacing the bamboo slips in the reality that some people want to oppose it but don't know how to oppose it.

At noon that day, Guo Peng held a banquet in Huanglong Hall, invited Uncle Zuo and ten paper-making masters who came to the capital with Uncle Zuo, and rewarded them respectively.

In the afternoon, Guo Peng issued an imperial decree to the cabinet to connect the cabinet with the Shangshutai and make the imperial decree public.

The content is also very simple, that is, from now on, the status of bamboo slips in official documents between the DPRK and China will be abolished, and paper will be used in an all-round way, striving to be more portable, portable and low-cost.

The move was first welcomed by the Treasury Department.

Wang Can, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, expressed his congratulations to Guo Peng, saying that the method of making paper would save the imperial court a lot of expenses for purchasing paper and making bamboo slips every year.

Then this matter quickly spread throughout the entire court, the entire Luoyang, and spread to the world.

The history of using bamboo slips to record events is over, and the era of using paper has come.

Only then did many people realize the significance of this matter as if they had just woken up from a dream.

All in all, because of the breakthrough in paper technology, the cost of papermaking has become extremely low, and bamboo slips have no competitiveness in the face of paper that is so cheap and comfortable to use, and has been decisively eliminated.

The departments responsible for making bamboo slips in Chaozhong were all closed down, and then they were completely merged into the papermaking department. Under the leadership of Uncle Zuo, they began to learn papermaking in an all-round way.

Since then, the cost of writing has been greatly reduced, and the retention rate of written works will be greatly increased. People will not see any changes for a while, but over time, this change will inevitably occur.

Seeing such a future, some people have some worries, worrying that the emergence and popularization of paper will reduce the cost of literacy learning, make more people literacy, and then reduce the competitiveness of readers.

But most people don't see such a future.

They only saw the convenience and cheapness of paper, and the comfort of writing, far surpassing the experience of using bamboo slips, so they naturally abandoned bamboo slips.

Of course, not without those who resented the improvements in paper technology.

Those merchants who were originally engaged in the manufacture of bamboo slips felt very resentful about this.

But it's useless, under the tide of history, they can't influence the court's decision-making at all.

This part of the income and the scholars and powerful families controlled behind it must cut off this part of the income and suffer for themselves.

At the beginning of June in the sixth year of Yande, Guo Peng decided to lead a group of officials to sacrifice to Luoyang Confucian Temple in order to express his joy in obtaining papermaking technology.

He wants to offer paper to the sages of the past dynasties enshrined in the Confucian Temple, and tell them that a brand-new cultural carrier has stepped onto the stage of history to shine and become the protagonist of history.

Chapter 1155 No one in one thousand 160 five understands better than them, the prosperous family

Luoyang Confucian Temple was built after Guo Peng proclaimed himself emperor.

Corresponding to it is Luoyang Martial Arts Temple.

Some ancient famous generals were sacrificed in the Wu Temple, from Jiang Ziya to Deng Yu, who was the head of the 28 generals in the former Yuntai Dynasty. Someone Guo selected 36 generals and gave them national-level sacrifices.

In the Confucian Temple, Confucius was in charge, as well as some of the most famous Confucian disciples and descendants of Confucius, and 36 people were selected to accept sacrifices with Confucius.

In fact, it is just pretending.

Everyone put Confucius in their eyes and lips, but no one took Confucius seriously.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, what everyone reads is superficial articles and superficial skills. As long as you can see Confucius, that's fine. It doesn't matter whether you have Confucius in your heart or not.

Anyway, whether or not there is Confucius does not prevent everyone from eating and drinking.

Occasional sacrifices can be regarded as helping everyone to give Confucius a little face.

The old man spent his whole life tossing so many classics for everyone to use as officials, and he has traveled around the world and taught three thousand disciples. It is really unreasonable not to give the old man a little face.

So offering sacrifices from time to time means that we still remember you, old man, and that's enough.

Other than that, nothing else matters.

Scholars sacrificed to Confucius, of course they wanted the legitimacy and legitimacy of being an official.

Guo Peng's sacrifice to Confucius was also to let Confucius take the blame for him.

Put the paper in front of Confucius, come on, old man, look, this is called paper, you have never seen it when you were alive, now we will show it to you old man, um, look at it?

All right.

End.

The sacrificial table written by Chen Lin is still so beautiful, the rhetoric is gorgeous, neat and tidy, and the reading is catchy and cadenced, which makes people sound very enjoyable, even more enjoyable than looking at the old Confucius in front of them.

Then, the existence of paper is equivalent to being recognized by Confucius as a qualified cultural carrier. In the future, it will no longer be possible to say that paper cannot be compared with bamboo slips.

In order to further establish the unshakable position of paper, Guo Peng personally wrote a pair of big characters "The Most Holy Teacher" in vigorous big block characters, framed it, and hung it in the lobby of Luoyang Confucian Temple to show Guo People and the entire Guowei Empire respect and praise Confucius.

And the unshakable official status of paper.

Guo's strong respect for Confucius did not arouse anyone's attention and vigilance, and even the large-scale spread of paper did not arouse people's vigilance.

The reason is simple, Mr. Guo didn't intend to do this, everything he did was normal.

Everyone was already using paper, and they often offered sacrifices to Confucius. Someone Guo just combined the two into one, took advantage of the trend, and then carried it forward.

What can you say?

They are still working hard for their future careers and family prospects.

The Yuan family, Xun family, Kong family, Jia family, and Huan family were even more proud of their spring breeze. Facing the crowded scene, they all seemed to be more swollen and very happy, and they didn't think about anything else.

Open the door, receive these guests one by one, and see what they are here for, to seek refuge, to join a school, to remember their names for future filial piety?

That's about it.

Except for those scholars who were against the emperor, whom the emperor expressly prohibited them from recruiting, they did not shy away from anything else.

As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, life is unpredictable.

He had been suppressed all the time before, and was cautiously trying to survive in the cracks. Once he rose up, he became the holder of the country's orthodox saint law. He didn't dare to make a big splash to revive the family. When will it be?

emperor?

This is what the emperor promised us, and we gambled with the emperor on our future and destiny. We deserve it!

So what else is there to say?

Maybe this is life...

Xun You, who has always been cautious, warned his family not to be so ostentatious, but to be more restrained. Family revival is a long-term thing, so don't make the crowds arouse attention in a short while, it is not good.

But Xun's restrained himself a little bit.

Jia Kui, the leading figure of this generation of the Jia family, was also a little worried. Seeing that everyone in the family was irrationally recruiting students, he also wanted to persuade him, but few people listened to him.

That's right, who can listen to it at this time?

The most arrogant is still the Yuan family. After many years of silence, when they rise up, the feeling of being in the market makes Yuan Simeng go back to 40 years ago.

The scene only in this dream reappeared in his hands. Do you think he is happy?

Of course he is very happy!

The Huan family was once prosperous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it has been silent since the end of the Han Dynasty. It entered the era of the Wei Empire. Because it joined late, it had little power and status.

How can you not be happy now that you can finally realize your own heritage into a visible power?

Open the door of the house, recruit students wantonly, expand the power and influence of the family, and even compete with several other families for students, for fear that they will lose more than the other.

Although the existence of old officials was restricted by the emperor's administrative orders, the existence of disciples could not be restricted by the emperor, and he did not say to restrict disciples.

If we don't allow old officials to be recruited, that's fine, but we will never give in to such things as disciples.

This is an important support for the prosperity and continuation of the family!

No one understands the Xingsheng family better than them.

Because they all understood, except for the Xun family who restrained a little and did not recruit too many disciples to expand the family's influence, the rest of the family were open to accepting, for fear that they would be less and more.

The Jia family and the Yuan family even relaxed some conditions in order to get more disciples to join the Jia family, expand Jia's influence, and give Jia a more advantage in the future court.

Once this advantage is formed, they believe that it cannot be changed.

Everything is destined, if we don't fight now, when will we wait?

Hearing these things that happened in Luoyang, Guo Peng sneered and came to Cai Yong's mansion who was studying the Five Classics with punctuation marks that could change an era.

Since the Huanglongdian meeting, Cai Yong has been studying the Five Classics according to Guo Peng's instructions, trying to restore the real Five Classics.

How to break the sentence, how to understand it, and how to restore the Five Classics to their original appearance.

He has a sense of responsibility for this, and feels that he must do this, otherwise he will be a vegetarian and irresponsible to future generations.

Especially what Guo Peng said at the final stage of the Huanglongdian meeting directly touched Cai Yong's heart.

Cai Yong felt even more that he had to help Guo Peng correct the demeanor of Confucianism, and not let this group of people whose heads were full of officials spoil the spirit of Confucian scholars.

Therefore, Cai Yong has been researching and searching for a suitable method of punctuating sentences. For this reason, he has thoroughly studied all the family laws of the Five Classics, found out the differences, and continued to study and read deeply.
