Chapter 297 Sun Cexian is watching the world, Cao Lu fights to the death

Thank you for your monthly ticket for Qingcha Zui! And the evaluation of Songlin Xiaoma! Thank you for your support!

Looking at Ma Riyan who was so excited and happy that he was a little out of control, Sun Ce could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

I was a little worried: "I just hope that the old masters' nerves, blood vessels, hearts, etc. are tough enough!"

No matter who it is, if a person has the opportunity to achieve his greatest dream in his life, who can be so excited that he goes crazy?

Scratching his neck, Sun Ce said: "Master, don't be too impatient! Now our paper mill is just a new one. After one month, it can produce three or five cars of paper. The disciple asked them to expand the factory ten times last month, and prepare raw materials for transportation on the road.

I am afraid it will take three to five months to officially open the seal. In the past few months, Master, you can keep your books and proofread the classics. We strive to make the books published in Lujiang all the best, and not mislead people's children!"

Ma Riyan, who was a little excited, patted his forehead and nodded in agreement and said, "Oh! That's what it should be. I'm really confused as a teacher. It's better to have more preparation time, but I still have to do a good job of proofreading!"

Then, all the senior scholars including Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Fan, etc., became excited and asked to join the proofreading work after knowing that the prefect was about to start printing books.

Almost every scribe burst out with great enthusiasm, just like the generals who were striving for the vanguard to produce achievements. They automatically gave up all the rest time after work and devoted themselves to the proofreading of the four thousand volumes of the Cai Yan family's collection.

However, there are more opportunities like this than opportunities to fight. Each person can get at least dozens or hundreds of books for four thousand books. Therefore, the scribes are still as graceful as they are.

The truck of Wu Yongpao delivered earlier was very useful in the proofreading scribes and strange admiration.

Every book I have read has begun to have formal paper clearing.

The neatly written words show the hard-working and serious attitude of these scribes. The clear example has been released, and as long as Wu Yong's second batch of bamboo paper is delivered, printing can be started immediately.

The writing was designed by Sun Ce himself. It was named "Lujiang Collection of Essays: Caifu Collection", and was edited by Qunxian of Lujiang. The first side will be all printed books and the names of participants.

The director-general was of course the great scholar Ma Rizhao, and the printed one was from the Huang family of Xiangyang. Of course, no one else could be missing. They were all famous scholars, and more people would inevitably join in.

More bronze characters were also made continuously under the personal supervision of Han Ji, Li Tie and the guards of the prefect's palace.

As soon as the bronze character was released, it was sent to Wu Yong's home next to the prefect's mansion. For this reason, Wu Yong gave up his house and prepared it as a place for bookmaking. This place will become the first professional bookmaking center in the Han Dynasty.

Before the book was produced, Wu Yong's small eyes looked at the increasing number of copper movable types and other materials used for spare adhesives. Countless gold, silver and money seemed to float in his eyes.

The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that half of the books printed by Wu Yongfu would be distributed to a new guy named Zhen Yan for sale. This is half of the profit and reputation, so why didn't he feel heartbroken and bleeding?

But this was the order of my nephew, and he had no right to refuse. Unless he didn't want to cooperate with the prefect, the prefect has left him and Zhen Yan. With such an advantageous product, are you still afraid that you can't find a sales agent?

Wu Yong, who has a smart vision, has long seen through this.

Just look at the many merchants who gather around their restaurants and furniture stores every day and ask for agency rights in various places. As long as you say you want to withdraw, there are probably countless merchants who will pounce on them and break the head and grab the position of the general agent.

And what if I left the prefect's mansion, I was just a small businessman who was guarding a few small shops and was a little smart.

But he has managed such a big business that he really makes money every day. Go back and guard a few small stores, have you made a thousand people a day? Thinking of this, Wu Yong's fat body will involuntarily fluctuate.

In the end, I could only grit my teeth and scold me twice in my heart. Damn, damn Zhen Yan, a dead bastard who stole my precious money!

Compared with Lujiang, which has set off a tide of construction, Jingzhou and Xiangyang are now calm. The officials around Jingzhou are most concerned about not how Luoyang and Chang'an are like, but how Sun Ce is like.

A Jedi assault by the Jiangdong Army finally realized that it is not the safest to have many soldiers and wide generals. The dense waterways are not an impeccable natural barrier. A good cavalry assault even Xiangyang was occupied for several days.

If Sun Ce and his friends had no support at that time, I was afraid that the governor of Jingzhou would have been captured alive at that time, and Jingzhou would undoubtedly have fallen.

At this time, almost everyone inside and outside Xiangyang City already knew the origin of Sun Ce and Sun Bofu - the son of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha. Seeing that he was able to give up his father's grudges and never killed a single person in Xiangyang.

His military discipline was so strict that he had truly been indestructible to the people. He also distributed a large amount of food in the treasury, which benefited the poor people deeply.

This is undoubtedly much more convincing than the slaughter of Cao Cao in Xuzhou to avenge his family.

Although the elite cavalry led by Sun Ce defeated the tens of thousands of elite water and land troops in Xiangyang today, the victory of the battle was achieved through strength and openness, which further demonstrated his courage and good combat.

What's more, Sun Ce was originally a native of Jingzhou. Under the rumors that some people who were interested were either openly or secretly contributed to the fire. Apart from the senior executives such as Liu Biao and Cai Mao, no one had any resentment towards him.

This is how people’s hearts are, they are gained without realizing it. Loss is always very rapid in the vigorous momentum!

But recently, news came from a spy arranged in Yangzhou that made Liu Biao even more angry. His brother-in-law Huang Chengyan actually betrothed his only precious daughter Huang Shuo to Sun Ce. The big media rival Yuan Shu is still arch-rivaled.

Fortunately, Huang Chengyan did not appear in Xiangyang, otherwise Liu Biao would even have the intention to cut him into pieces. Huang Chengyan knew that Jingzhou and Yangzhou were not in the way, but he still had to do this. Isn’t this a confusing thing for people? How could Liu’s expression be sensible?

Calm and happy days always pass quickly. After three months of rest, Sun Ce enjoyed the happiness of reunion of his family and felt a little idle. Apart from accompanying his family, he only did one thing.

It was to guide Wu Yong to use the Arabic numerals he had learned recently and write a primary school mathematics textbook. Wu Yong also worked as a part-time teacher for the prodigy.

The scholars such as Zhang Hong who were focused on studying were also forced out of the pile of books by Sun Ce to carry out compulsory popularization of primary school mathematics.

Wu Yong's course was written based on his actual business needs, but was warmly welcomed by students.

Compared with boring text preaching, let the school children calculate a jar of wine and sell it to eighteen people, each of which charges ninety-nine big money. If each person eats thirty-six Wuzhu dishes and puts wine, how much does it cost in total?

And how much is the difference between this money and one kilogram of gold? If a restaurant sells 192 jars of wine in a day, what is the total income?

When the prodigy faced such a large number, they were still holding the calculations in their hands and fiddling with them with a sad face.

Wu Yong, who was confident, easily solved the answer with just a few simple formulas. It immediately aroused the interest of everyone who had never seen such a calculation method.

A primary school mathematics is perfectly capable of the calculation needs of most people in this era. Of course, the name of today's Arabic numerals has naturally become the Jiangdong numeral invented by Wu Yong.

The ten numbers are simple and easy to use and very easy to use, and they soon became popular all over Lujiang. With the basic four mixed operations, whether it is Li Tie's material calculation in the craftsman camp or Zhang Hong's statistical management of Jiangdong military food and grass materials.

With the help of these numbers, everyone who deals with numbers has become much easier. With the advanced lending and credit accounting method, instead of the traditional flow accounts, all the entry and exit accounts of Jiangdong Army have become clear at a glance.

Today, the internal management of Lujiang includes scholars such as Li Ru, Zhang Hong, and the soldiers trained many idle and panic generals. Sun Ce was responsible for holding his daughter and leisurely paying attention to the progress of wars in various parts of the world, and truly felt like sitting and watching the changes in the world.

After successive failures, Cao Cao's army finally broke out in its last encounter, and a turnaround battle came. At that time, the Cao army brigade went out to collect the wheat, and Lu Bu led more than 10,000 elite troops to raid Cao Cao's camp, hoping to break through the camp and capture and kill Cao Cao.

When Lu Bu led his iron cavalry into the Cao army camp like a strong wind, he encountered countless traps of horses, as well as the 500 tiger and leopard cavalry led by Dian Wei, and the 400 central defenders, fighting back to death.

Dian Wei, who was in a desperate situation, showed his fierceness and fearlessness, which greatly inspired the courage of the Cao army soldiers who had retreated without a way out. After putting them to death, he instead threw Lu Bu into the trap of Cao's camp and fought with 10,000 cavalrymen.

This was a battle that Cao Cao's army truly put to death and became a turning point in the entire Yanzhou battle.

After this battle, Lu Bu's Liang Iron Cavalry was scared by Dian Wei and never launched a decent counterattack against Cao's army again.

Even though Lu Bu was in the battle personally, he did not gain any advantage when facing Dian Wei, and could only retreat step by step.

The news that Sun Ce just received was that since the people were escaping wars, no one was in control of the fields. The locust plague in Yanzhou was experiencing great damage, and thousands of miles of grain fields were destroyed. Both Cao Cao and Lu Bu were in a situation where there was no food to eat, and they could only retreat and maintain their own territory.

Lu Bu retreated to Puyang and took over the post of Yanzhou Governor. Soon his fierce old behavior resurfaced and began to force military rations to the great families of Yanzhou. If anyone dared to give it as much as possible, he would encounter fierce horse bandits soon.

The woman disappeared, the whole family was destroyed, and the food was snatched away. Although no one said it clearly, everyone knew in their hearts that this was done by Lu Bu's subordinates.
