Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Cao Cao casually flipped open the regular edition and read it, but suddenly his eyes widened after reading two pages.

Then he looked down at the hardcover version spread out on the table, and after comparing the two, he was shocked and dumbfounded.

Looking up at Jia Xu who was standing aside: "This is... transcribed by the same person?"

"No, no, even the same person can't do this."

Cao Cao himself denied his guess, and then carefully compared the two books.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly thought of something, looked up at Jia Xu again, and guessed with some doubts.

"Is it a rubbing?"

Jia Xu was smiling like a VIP salesperson in later generations.

"My lord is wise, Taining said that you must be able to guess it. If you guess it, you can buy one and get one free for [-] yuan. If you can't guess the two books, the total is [-] yuan."

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard 1050 yuan, and then figured out the meaning of Jia Xu's words, and carefully looked at the ordinary book in his hand.

The hardcover is supposed to sell for [-] yuan, so this ordinary book only sells for [-] yuan?
According to Taining's habits, it is impossible to do such a loss-making thing, so... this new paper is not only better than the old paper, more suitable for writing, but also cheaper than the old paper!

"Wenhe, you said this book only sells for [-] yuan?" Cao Cao held the ordinary version of the Thousand-Character Essay and looked intently at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's face was not as respectful as usual: "Yes, my lord's guess is right, our regular edition only sells for [-] yuan, which is the price that Taining will die for."

Cao Cao was shocked. Ordinary paper books are also available now, but because the material of the paper is not good and the cost is high, only the upper class will frequently use it.

If new paper could be used instead of bamboo slips...

Cao Cao immediately began to evaluate the new paper in his mind, and how much impact it would have if the new paper was implemented in various industries.

After thinking halfway, Cao Cao suddenly remembered a question just now: "No, this rubbing is also the key."

"My lord is really wise. This rubbing technique is also a new discovery of Taining. As long as you arrange the required words of the article, a page can be printed in the blink of an eye."

"In the blink of an eye!"

Jia Xu bowed to the end, and solemnly bowed to Cao Cao: "My lord, this is the second thing I want to say today. This matter is not ordered by Taining, but I think it is necessary to let the lord know."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly: "What is it?"

"The combination of this new paper and Taining's improved rubbing technique, I believe the lord can also imagine what the result will be. Therefore, I beg the lord to protect Taining and...to protect me."

Cao Cao: ...

"What do you mean? You're just selling books. There's nothing to protect."

"My lord, I am gracious. This move will definitely cause shocks in the family. If they attack in groups regardless of everything, I really can't bear it with my old arms and legs."

"Hmph, then donate the improved technology earlier."

Jia Xu raised his head slightly, and then lay down again: "Taining needs to earn enough money, and there is also a large investment of old man, a full [-] yuan."

Cao Cao showed a slightly surprised look: "Are you willing to pay fifty thousand?"

"This...with Taining's guarantee, I think I can do it."

"Hmph, then hurry up and earn enough money, and offer the technology earlier, let's quit."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Jia Xu lay on the ground and did not move.

"Jia Wenhe?"

"My subordinate is here, my lord, you forgot to pay for the book."

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed, and his face was reddish: "Can I still miss you a thousand dollars? Go and get it yourself."

After Jia Xu saluted, he withdrew from the prime minister's mansion, and Cao Cao read with a book in his hands.

"Taining's talent should be more than that. Why is the beginning of this book so obvious to me?"

After reading it for a while, although the following content is brilliant, I still feel that there are some things I haven't seen. Rubbing his eyes, Cao Cao put down the book.

Early the next morning, Xun Yu hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion and tied Cao Cao who hadn't woken up on the bed.

"What's the matter with Wen Ruo? Why are you in such a panic."

Cao Cao was still a little dazed when he was shaken awake by Xun Yu, but Xun Yu's face was full of panic and excitement. Cao Cao, who was still in the process of waking up, was almost confused by Xun Yu's expression.

"My lord, this... this."

Holding a normal version of the thousand-character text in his hand, his emotions fluctuated up and down, making Cao Cao confused about the situation.

"I know this, Taining's new work."

"no no!"

Xun Yu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before returning to his usual order.

"This thing is the hope of the great catastrophe of the family and the rise of the humble family. I, the Xun family, may be lonely."

Only now did Cao Cao understand why Xun Yu was so divided.

The fundamental reason is that his identity and position have split. The two results caused by the impact of Han Ze's new technology have a crucial impact on Xun Yu.

The Xun family relied on their own accumulation for hundreds of years to achieve today's situation.

And once these accumulations are broken by printing and new paper, the Xun family will naturally fall slowly.

But on the other hand, with Han Ze's new technology, there will be a large increase in the number of poor families, which will be a huge boost to the future development of Cao Cao and even Dahan.

Xun Yu struggled with this entanglement all night, and at dawn he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to Boss Cao.

"My lord, this...what to do."

Cao Cao didn't know how to comfort him, so he patted Xun Yu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the impact of this technology will not be so fast. The Xun family was still a famous family when you died."

"Ah! This..."

Xun Yu was helpless. Cao Cao could not slow down the promotion of Han Ze's technology for Xun's family. Even if Cao's family would also be affected, Cao Cao would still carry it out.

Cao Cao was sitting on the couch comforting Xun Yu and discussing the next strategy when Guo Jia also hurried in.

"My lord, Mr. Xun Ling is also here."

Guo Jia also wanted to explain the influence of Han Ze's new book, but seeing Xun Yu's face, he immediately figured out the joints, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Feng Xiao, come quickly, I'm discussing with Wen Ruo about the follow-up impact of Taining New Paper, so it's time for you to share your opinion."

Although Guo Jia and Xun Yu have different backgrounds and ideas, they are friends and have some sympathy for each other. Seeing Xun Yu's loneliness, Guo Jia also feels a little bit depressed.

"My lord, in my opinion, this is the cornerstone of the Eternal Culture."

Both Cao Cao and Xun Yu were attracted by Guo Jia's rhetoric. They had been discussing the impact of new paper and printing on the political situation, and hadn't mentioned other fields, so they both listened seriously.

"My lord, Wen Ruo, there are very few people in the literary world in my Han Dynasty, and even many scholars only study for politics, and have no interest in literature."

"If these two things in Taining are promoted, the whole world can be scholars. How many amazing and brilliant works will come out, how many buried geniuses will be discovered, and how many people will be buried in the world. depict."

"Perhaps at that time, everyone can write articles and publicize their views. The prosperous age of contending among a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period may be reappeared, and even more prosperous."
