Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174 A Revolution About Scholars Part [-]

Printing supervisor.

The front hall is the official office, and there are two workshops behind. There is only an arch between the two workshops. The left side of the arch is the papermaking workshop, and the right side of the arch is the printing workshop.

"Arrange 20 people here!"

"Set up troops on the left and right sides of the gate, with the gate as the main one, build defensive fortifications, and build bow and arrow crenels!"

"The arch is the center, and there are two soldiers and horses on the left and right!"

"..."

Huang Zhong is deploying [-] elite soldiers from the West Garden to defend the entire printing factory.

These soldiers were all elite soldiers from the upper camp, since Mu Jing had already spoken, he also asked the palace for instructions, and it was justifiable to transfer troops, Jian Shuo, a famous elder brother, would give face, and all the soldiers transferred were elite soldiers.

Although these soldiers are unfamiliar with Huang Zhong, but in this era of cold weapons, absolute force is advocated. Huang Zhong showed a little bit, and all the officers surrendered. This is the charm of a peerless general.

When the official office was in court, Mu Jing and Xi Zhicai knelt down at the desk.

"The soldiers you dispatched here are all elite soldiers, almost requiring your official office to be set up as an iron formation on the battlefield."

Xi Zhicai is also quite proficient in military strategy. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he is familiar with the book of military art and has a good eye, but he doesn't quite understand the reason why Mu Jing did this: "You are worried that someone will dare to break into The printing supervisor?"

"Why not worry?"

Mu Jing tasted tea, took a sip, and then said: "Let's not talk about the papermaking technique. Although the improved papermaking technique is already comparable to Zuobo paper, and the materials are simple and the production is fast, it will not subvert the interests of some people after all. But you know the value of movable type printing, this will be a revolution for scholars, and it will definitely touch the interests of many people, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will be greedy!"

"revolution?"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly, he played with the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "This word is used well. In the biography of Ge Gua and Zhuan in "Book of Changes", it was once said that the revolution of heaven and earth is formed in four seasons, and the revolution of Tang and Wu follows suit. This is a revolution, the emergence of movable type printing, and the innovation is the destiny of scholars!"

He is very clear about the changes that movable type printing will bring to Shilin. It will overturn the destiny between the poor and the gentry, and it will also break the monopoly of the gentry.

Call it a revolution, and it's all too right.

He paused, and then said: "But this is at the feet of the emperor, are they so bold?"

Mu Jing said coldly: "I suffered a big loss once. Before, I thought it was the safest place in the world because it was the foot of the emperor and the capital of Han Dynasty. However, I forgot that this is actually the most dangerous place. I almost capsized the boat in the gutter, almost risking my own life, so I won't suffer the same loss again!"

"The most dangerous place?"

Xi Zhicai himself is extremely intelligent, and when he thought about it, he immediately understood: "Could it be that His Majesty can no longer control the courtiers?"

In this Luoyang city, if the people below dare to use weapons, it can only prove one thing, the current day has lost control over the courtiers.

"His Majesty……"

There was a trace of seriousness on Mujing's face: "Last year, there have been news that His Majesty has fainted three times. Do you know what this means?"

"Could it be?" Xi Zhicai was a little startled.

"Hehe!" Mu Jing waved his hand, meaning to speak cautiously.

"I used to feel that I was far away from the court!"

Xi Zhicai sighed: "Now it's so late but it feels...very strange!"

"Do you think this is not the court hall you imagined!"

"Nowadays, the imperial court is already in turmoil. They are all courtiers. Why don't they help each other and help us in the Han Dynasty, but they can only fight among themselves, consume national power, and take advantage of foreign and foreign enemies!" Xi Zhicai is still very young now, and has not yet become mature. , I have no talent and command, so my temperament is more or less naive.

"I don't know how to respond to you!"

Mu Jing shook his head.

"Actually, I also know that this is just my delusion!" Xi Zhicai was very unrestrained, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "There is no powerful official in the world who doesn't fight!"

"You have to be careful!"

Mu Jing instructed: "Now that you have become the spokesperson of Jingping Study, you will also be their target!"

These two, Xi Zhicai, came forward to deal with a lot of provocateurs from aristocratic families. They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and refutation of literature. up.

"In this way, isn't it what Brother Longtu thinks?" Xi Zhicai squinted at him: "Brother Longtu is going to drag the entire poor family into the battlefield!"

"If you don't want to, no one can force you!" Mu Jing shrugged, he never concealed his intentions, and frankly left Xi Zhicai speechless.

"As shameless as you, I really can't beat you!"

Xi Zhicai was quite helpless.

"Master Supervisor, there are people outside the mansion asking to see you, this is a famous post!"

"Famous post?"

Mujing looked at it and said, "Someone can't hold it anymore!"

"A disciple of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu?"

Xi Zhicai also looked at it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "Heavenly pride of the noble family, known as the successor of the Yuan family, the number one clan in the world!"

"According to the etiquette, should I meet?" Mu Jing asked.

"Must!" Xi Zhicai said, "You can't be rude even if you tear your face!"

"All right!"

Mu Jing put away the famous post: "Brother Zhicai, why don't you accompany me for a while, this nobleman's genius!"

"Alright!"

Xi Zhicai is not on the side of Mujing, he is on the side of movable type printing. As a child of a poor family, he is quite dissatisfied with some noble families. The most dissatisfied is probably the Yuan family. He can make good fortune for scholars in the world, so he doesn't mind being Yuan's enemy.

……

Yuan Shu wore a gorgeous brocade robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, and white jade on his waist. He entered in a graceful manner. After entering, he bowed his hands and saluted. This is a greeting between scholars: "Runan Yuan Shu, I pay my respects to the prince of Xi'e!"

"Jing has seen Brother Yuan!"

Mu Jing got up and returned the gift.

"Yingchuan Xilong, I have met Brother Yuan!" Xi Zhicai also responded with a courtesy, neither humble nor overbearing, with a high-spirited bearing.

"Brother Xi is here too!" Yuan Shu knew Xi Zhicai. As a representative student of Yingchuan Academy, Xi Zhicai was considered well-known among the younger generation of scholars, and he was also a representative of poor family background. It made his eyes slightly cold.

"Brother Yuan, please!" Mu Jing ordered in a low voice, "Serve tea!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu served the tea himself.

Yuan Shu sat down and took a sip of tea. He was not used to it. He was used to tasting wine, so he had little interest in tea. Moreover, tea is not very popular nowadays. Among scholars, most of them are drinkers rather than tea lovers.

"Brother Mu, at such a young age, being able to become the supervisor of the Yinjian Supervisor is worthy of the name of an outstanding talent!" Yuan Shu complimented, and his eyes kept sizing up Mujing. The little yellow-haired child in his eyes, now he has to pay attention to it.

Because it was the young man in front of him that put Yuan Shi in danger of losing his status as a scholar.

"Brother Yuan is too famous. Jing is young and highly valued by His Majesty, so he can only work hard for His Majesty!" Mu Jing said with a smile.

His gaze was also inadvertently sizing up Yuan Shu.

He is no stranger to the name Yuan Shu.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes rose one after another, and the two heroes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, could be regarded as the best. Someone once said that if the two heroes of the Yuan family joined forces, there might be no such thing as the Three Kingdoms.

Not to mention the hero Yuan Shao who started in Hebei, just talk about Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is the famous son of the Yuan family, the heir of the middle class, he inherited the profound background of the Yuan family who was named the fourth generation and the third prince, and was the first to rise up after the crusade against Dong Zhuo princes.

After the crusade, he quickly captured Nanyang and Runan. With the two largest counties in the world, he controlled millions of people. Coupled with the prestige of the Yuan family in Runan, he let the world's scholars seek refuge and quickly captured the entire Yuzhou. Become the most powerful, the first prince of the Central Plains.

Even Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are far inferior to him in strength.

But this person is also the most impatient person.

He was the first to proclaim himself emperor, and it was because of his proclaiming emperor that he rebelled against his relatives, and finally became the first prince to end in this troubled world.

Some people say that Yuan Shu is an idiot.

But Mujing doesn't think so.

Anyone who can stand out in this era and become a vassal who strives for world hegemony is a capable person, and no one is a fool. If Yuan Shu is just an idiot, it is impossible for so many people to follow him.

"Brother Mu is right, we are all doing errands for His Majesty together!"

Yuan Shuruo pointedly said: "Brother Mu has just come to Luoyang City, and he has not established a foothold in Luoyang for a long time, and many things are not very clear. I heard that the printing supervisor recruited craftsmen a while ago, and now the printing supervisor is personally appointed by His Majesty. Compared with Brother Mu, I dare not neglect the established government office, why don't I help Brother Mu, my Yuan family has quite a few craftsmen, and they are both scholars, so it is right to help each other!"

When Mu Jing heard this, he sneered in his heart: As expected of being a child of an aristocratic family, there is art in this way of speaking.

He understood the significance of Yuan Shu's visit this time.

Yuan wanted to make peace.

The premise of seeking peace is to hand over the movable type printing.

For the Yuan family, this was a deal. They thought they were from a famous family, and it was an honor to accept nobles from wild backgrounds like the Houfu of Xi'e Township to become part of the noble family.

Mu Jing remained silent, but only gave him a look to express his interest.

Xi Zhicai smiled helplessly, but still complied with Mu Jing's request, and said, "Brother Yuan, the Yuan family has such long hands, isn't it afraid that His Majesty will dislike you?"

He's not afraid to be the bad guy.

Because he was originally from a poor family.

"Brother Xie!"

Yuan Shu's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said: "Building a seal supervisor will benefit scholars all over the world. As the leader of scholars, I, Yuan Shi, should do my part. I believe His Majesty will not dismiss my Yuan Shi, who is the center of sharing the court's worries!"

This is advice and a threat.

Four generations and three princes, the family of the Yuan family, has great influence and can establish the reputation of scholars all over the world. He is qualified to say this.

"If Brother Yuan has His Majesty's will, I have nothing to say about this prison order, but Brother Yuan, this seal-making prison was established by His Majesty. If there is no Majesty's will, I dare not invite anyone in!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"Brother Mu, I am also kind. The city of Luoyang has not been peaceful in recent years. I heard that Brother Mu was almost burned by a fire in his mansion. Brother Mu should be more careful!"

"Hehe!"

Mu Jingsen smiled coldly, his smile was like ice: "Thank you, Brother Yuan, for your concern!"

"Brother Mu, don't think about it!" Yuan Shu frowned. He really didn't expect that Yuan's influence on scholars would have no influence on Mujing, which made him a little displeased.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing laughed, even Yuan Shu dared to threaten him, what more face did he need to show him, now that his face was torn, he also became frantic: "Brother Yuan, go back and tell Lord Sikong, everyone in this seal making prison Welcome, but people from the Yuan family are not welcome, if you come one, I'll kill one, if you come two, I'll kill a pair!"

"you……"

Yuan Shu was furious, it was the first time he saw such a rampant person.
