Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 476 The book is shocking to everyone, who cares about blank paper?
Su Liao laughed when he heard this and said, "Why don't Mr. Zhao first take a look at the quality of the paper produced in Daijun's workshop?"

His smile made Zhao Yuan feel a sense of confidence, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. But after hearing Su Liao's words clearly, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but shook his head: "Mr. Su, I know your determination to become an adult, but What's going on in Luoyang now is that you can't convince others simply by relying on good things, especially things like paper. Alas, people who are good at talking nowadays can turn good into bad with just one sentence, because this Things can’t really be handed down from generation to generation.”

"What if it's something passed down from generation to generation?" Su Liao showed a smile, thinking about the thing on the paper, but he had to admire his master. He didn't know whether it was foresight or a mistake.

But in the final analysis, if you don't have the corresponding background, even if you want to make a mistake, you can't do it.

However, his words made Zhao Yuan confused. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "What do you mean by this? No matter how good this paper is, it will not survive for a long time. How can it be passed down to the world? At this point, paper It’s still not as good as bamboo slips and cloth.”

These words suddenly reminded Su Liao that when he was chatting with Chen Zhi before, he heard Chen Zhi say that perhaps paper in the future will undergo special processing, continuous sublimation of craftsmanship, and special preservation methods. It can be preserved for a long time and eventually completely replaces bamboo slips and becomes the carrier of writing.

Obviously, Zhao Yuan and Chen Zhi have some differences in their views on the future of paper, but now is not the time to discuss this, so he did not hesitate and said directly: "I have brought the sample this time, please Zhao Please wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring it.”

"Did you bring the things?" Zhao Yuan nodded, "That's fine, I'll just take a look at Brother Chen's latest masterpiece. This time he stopped making comments and instead made paper. In fact, it's a bit beyond me. Unexpected.”

When Zhao Yuan thought about it, since it was Chen Zhi who took action, it must be very serious. But in fact, he still didn't take it seriously. It was because of his preconception that no matter how good the paper was, it was just that. Besides, with Chen Zhi's ability, he could do more Articles are more meaningful than doing these business affairs.

What's more, he didn't think that the quality of the paper could change the current situation. In fact, even he was just holding his breath. After being warned by Wang Lan, he knew that it would be difficult for him to buck the trend. , the anger in my heart cannot be relieved.

But Su Liao didn't care about this. He summoned a follower, gave a few instructions, and the man left quickly.

The two books that Chen Zhi gave him were bound with new paper and had such content written on them. Su Liao did not dare to look at them casually and was worried that they would be damaged, so he did not take them with him, but put them solemnly in the car. inside.

The attendant quickly left and returned, holding a cloth bag and walking in carefully.

This action also made Zhao Yuan pay attention, but he didn't worry about it. He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Looking at the thickness, I brought a lot of paper. I wonder if you can give me a few."

Su Liao took the cloth bag, turned around and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Zhao. It's really hard to take apart the things we brought and give them away."

"Oh? Why is this?" Zhao Yuan became curious after hearing this, and then watched Su Liao open the cloth bag one by one, revealing the lineup inside, which turned out to be two sealed books.

"Has it been bound into a book? Do you put white paper inside and let people write on it? If you are writing a book, you have to finish it before binding it, otherwise the ink will be stained and inevitably penetrate below."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Huh? There is a word on the cover. This word is well written. It must be Brother Chen's handwriting. But what does the word 'Tongdian' mean? Could it be that Brother Chen has a new article?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's casual attitude disappeared long ago, he stood up and walked over.

Su Liao took advantage of the situation and handed over the first volume of "General Outline of Tongdian".

"Tongdian...general outline?" Zhao Yuan looked at the words on the cover and read out softly, and couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, "Is this a book by Brother Chen? He used this new paper to write a book Come out? But the feel of this cover is not much different from ordinary paper."

As he spoke, Zhao Yuan took it and opened it. He immediately didn't care about the feel of the paper. He was completely attracted by the rows of words on the general outline. He turned his wrist and quickly turned through a few pages, his expression becoming more and more serious. Shock.

"Dharma theory, classics theory, history theory, collection theory, Mohist theory, war theory, Taoism theory, agriculture theory, Zongheng theory, Fangji theory, Yin and Yang theory, novel theory, Buddhism theory, five buckets of rice theory...this...this What does it mean? What does it mean?"

In a short period of time, Zhao Yuan went from being indifferent to now looking a little lost.

"Zhao Jun, why are you like this?" Su Liao was very surprised. After he saw the rows of words on the general outline and some words marked next to them, and after flipping through a few pages, he was also frightened, but not like this. Zhao Yuan generally had such a reaction.

"Mr. Su, don't blame me. I've lost my composure." Zhao Yuan was reminded and came back to his senses with an apologetic smile, "These outlines are really shocking. I flipped through a few pages. After seeing the descriptions of several volumes, there are only a few numbers, but the quotations from scriptures are all to the point. It can be seen that the person who wrote the book has indeed read many documents and classics thoroughly before he can extract the real keynotes from them. ah!"

Looking at Zhao Yuan's surprised face, Su Liao finally realized why he was so amazed. Obviously, he, Su Liao, was just surprised by the scope of what Chen Zhi wrote and felt it was a bit unrealistic, while Zhao Yuan was Because I am well-read and have read a lot of literature and classics, when I was flipping through it, I saw some sentences in the general outline. When I compared the two, I realized that they were not randomly excerpted, and I was surprised.

Zhao Yuan seemed to see Su Liao's confusion, and simply explained: "This general outline is the outline of a book. It plans the scope of the following volumes in advance, but under each category , all have simple descriptions in a few sentences, but these descriptions are not written out of thin air, they are excerpts from several books, and the CD is enough to be the finishing touch!" As he spoke, he fell into confusion again. middle.

"Although you can find the main theme by reading several books, the items listed in this general outline are too broad, and the excerpted sentences, although each outline is different, have the same tendency, and they are obviously from It was compiled by one person rather than by many people, but one person can read all the classics in so many categories and still consult them at will?"

Amidst his doubts, he asked with some uncertainty: "Are these really made by Brother Chen?"

Su Liao nodded: "Yes, it is exactly what my master wrote."

"Did Brother Chen really do this? I remembered it. When he was in the Secretariat Province, he claimed to compile a canon to classify and organize the books in the East and West Gardens to improve the outline. But later on, he went north to serve as the prefect. People unconsciously ignored this matter, and later did not hear any news about the ceremony. It turned out that it was to be completed in the north." Zhao Yuan frowned and asked, "How much did Brother Chen bring with him when he went north this time? Che's book? He wants to complete this book in the North? I'm afraid he has to consult a lot of books, and I don't know how much effort it will take."

"This..." Su Liao hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "The Lord did not bring many books. Although he also packed two boxes, most of them are his own manuscripts."

"Is it his own manuscript? There are no other books?" Zhao Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be that they are all recorded in his mind? I heard that he has a photographic memory, but this is too bizarre. , if according to what this general code says, is it possible that he has read all the books in the East and West Gardens?"

With that said, he opened the second book.

This second volume is "Tongdian Falun".

"Awesome! Awesome! In just a few sentences, the entire history of Legalism can be drawn out. It is really amazing, especially this paragraph's comment on Shang Jun and the subsequent changes in the Qin Dynasty. , it is really interesting. Although they are all excerpts of sentences, these different volumes of Legalist books combined together are equivalent to the annotations of more than a dozen Legalist masters. Where can I find such a thing and such a book? !?"

The more he read, the more surprised Su Liao looked. At the end, Zhao Yuan was shaking all over, and then suddenly froze. He lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, suddenly came back to his senses, and actually showed excitement.

"Mr. Su, are you sure that these were all done by Brother Chen?"

"Of course, it's just..." Su Liao said but hesitated.

"Just what?" Zhao Yuan asked immediately.

Su Liao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's just that my master only wrote two books, and they finished them overnight!"

"Just two volumes?" Zhao Yuan was stunned immediately. He glanced at the book in his hand, "Just these two volumes? Written overnight?"

He was completely dumbfounded. They were all drawing big cakes?Only a general outline and the first volume of "Dharma Theory" were published?What about the one behind it?Release one every other quarter?
"Then are all the things marked on this general outline empty? I know that it takes a lot of time to complete such a book, but didn't Brother Chen let the news out a long time ago? And he dared to write such a general outline, so that If you bring it and show it to everyone, it must not be a joke, how can it be possible that there are only two volumes?"

Facing Zhao Yuan's questioning, Su Liao could only smile bitterly.

"Wait a minute, you said these two books were written overnight?" Zhao Yuan shook his head, "I'm afraid that's wrong. Even with Brother Chen's talent, he has a photographic memory, but there's no such thing as this. So many words and sentences, Just a choice, not to mention one night, ten nights are not enough.”

He finally calmed down and turned to ask: "You just mentioned that Brother Chen brought two large boxes of manuscripts. I am afraid that most of the General Theory is in those manuscripts, and Brother Chen does not know how to do things. It’s so foolproof, so there will definitely be no problem!”

Speaking of the end, he suddenly gritted his teeth and sneered: "This is interesting. I originally thought that I would have no chance to regain my place during the Buddhist commentary, but now I have another idea."

Su Liao still didn't understand why, but he was not willing to take this risk. He was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so he could only say: "Zhao Jun, I want you to read this piece of paper..."

When Zhao Yuan heard this, he burst into laughter.

"Paper? With this encyclopedia, who cares about paper?"
