Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But the bamboo slips in a room are actually only hundreds of thousands of words, and only a few large books are replaced by paper, which can be easily taken away by only one person and a bag.

Moreover, more words can be recorded on paper, so that people can use more words to record what they see more calmly, and it also allows future generations to understand the thoughts of their ancestors more calmly and comprehensively. record and pass on ideas.

It is no exaggeration to say that paper is the carrier of civilization.

And Zhao Kuo brought Cai Houzhi to this world 300 years in advance!Li Si and Han Fei did not kneel down to Zhao Kuo because of the courtesy of the emperor and ministers, but for all the scholars and for the whole of China!Zhao Kuo accepted the gift calmly, and then helped Li Si and Han Fei up.

Xu Li and Guo Zong on the side were also excited, Xu Li couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord, since you invented this paper, let's call it Wuhou paper from now on."

Jun Hou Jun Hou, the two words Jun and Hou are interchangeable.

For example, Zhao Kuo, Wu Xinjun, can also be called Wu Xinhou, and Qin Xiangbang Yinghou Fan Sui can also be called Yingjun Fan Sui.

Isn't the paper made by Wu Xinhou the same as Wuhou paper?

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, and said very seriously: "No, this paper is called Cai Lun paper, do you understand?"

Although the four retainers were puzzled, they still responded one after another.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Okay, you all remember to keep it secret.

It will be the second anniversary of the opening ceremony of the academy, and this gift from Ben Hou will definitely satisfy all the students in the academy.

Alright, Li Si, you and Han Fei can take some papers and go home alone, I guess the two of you are not thinking about it anymore, haha. "

Looking at Li Si and Han Fei who left contentedly with a pile of papers each, Zhao Kuo couldn't stop the smile on his face.

The love of books and knowledge is the real ladder of human social progress!Zhao Kuo looked at Guo Zong and said, "Is the paper shop ready?"

Guo Zong said respectfully: "All are ready, there are five stores in Handan, and they will open for business at the same time after the anniversary celebration."

Zhao Kuo said, "What about the price?"

Guo Zong said: "Fifty coins a piece."

Zhao Kuo frowned and said, "No, five yuan a piece."

Guo Zong was stunned for a moment, and said: "But your lord, this paper is our exclusive resource."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said slowly: "Paper can record knowledge, and knowledge can change a person's destiny.

Everyone in this world is born unfairly. Some people are born in the families of princes and nobles, while others are born in the families of ordinary people.

This Marquis can't change this, but at least this Marquis can make everyone who wants to touch knowledge have such an opportunity. "

"The Marquis does not lack such things as money now, nor will he lack in the future.

Ben Hou can think of many, many ideas and do many, many things if he wants to make money, but there is no need to make money on paper.

Five yuan per piece of paper is only temporary. I hope that within five years, I can achieve one yuan per piece of paper, or even one yuan of five pieces of paper. Do you understand? "

"This world is not fair, but at least this Marquis is here to give fairness to everyone in the world for this matter that I can do!"

Guo Zong was stunned when he heard this, an inexplicable thing reverberated in the heart of the biggest businessman in Zhao country and even in the whole of China.

As a businessman, Guo Zong has dealt with many, many people. He has seen the highest society, the most humble slaves, and the poorest people.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Zong is able to realize more deeply how many people's fates can be changed by Zhao Kuo's decision!Guo Zong took a deep breath, took two steps back, and knelt down respectfully.

"Sir, take orders!"

Chapter 340 Don't want a concubine, then have more children

The paper has been made, and the paper workshop has already started in full swing. The warehouses for storing a large amount of paper and the shops for selling paper are all ready.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the second anniversary ceremony of the Academy to begin.

During the waiting period, Zhao Kuo was somewhat idle.

When a man is bored, he has two options, one is to go out and go crazy by himself, and the other is to spend more time at home with his wife and children.

Zhao Kuo, who has been crazy in Yan State for several months, chose very decisively to stay at home with his wife and children.

"Drive, drive!"

Zhao Kuo's eldest son, Zhao Qian, is over three years old. He is riding on a red pony that Zhao Kuo ordered someone to get from Daijun. flushed.

The rein was in Xu Li's hands, and under Xu Li's guidance, the red pony carried Zhao Qian around slowly, causing Zhao Qian to let out a series of extremely cheerful laughter.

"Brother, brother!"

Xiao Zhao, who had just learned to walk, rushed towards Zhao Qian in a hurry, but his young body couldn't keep his balance, so he fell to the ground with a bang after running a few steps, and burst into tears.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing loudly: "Meng'er, you are too young. When you grow up a bit, my father will get you a new horse."

Zhao Meng cried even harder.

Looking at this scene, Tian Wan couldn't help shaking her head speechlessly, put the baby Zhao Rou in Qiu'er's hand, stepped forward to pull Zhao Meng up, and carefully patted the dust off Zhao Meng's body, Hold her in her arms and comfort her softly.

"Meng'er don't cry, come, auntie will take you to find brother.

Uncle Xu, stop and let Meng'er and Qian'er sit together! "

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo couldn't help shaking his head helplessly: "Madam, you will spoil him like this."

Tian Wan glared at Zhao Kuo and said, "Husband, of course you are the one who decides the big things outside, but in this inner house, you have to listen to me how to discipline our children."

At this moment, Tian Wan is extraordinarily princess-like.

Zhao Kuo smiled and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, my eldest princess, I will listen to you, and you are right."

Facts have proved that it is actually very simple for a creature like a woman to get it done, that is, follow her words, coax her, and then it will be fine.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Tian Wan returned to Zhao Kuo with a contented and giggling little Zhao Meng. Zhao Kuo had just picked up his second son and wanted to have an affectionate interaction between father and son, but suddenly there was a warning sign in his heart. .

A warm current spread from Zhao Meng's crotch to Zhao Kuo's hands.

"Pee, pee!"

That night, Zhao Kuo brought up the matter with Tian Wan again.

"Madam, my husband thinks that sometimes you are really partial.

Didn’t people say that mother-in-law prefers the child she gave birth to? Why don’t you?” Tian Wan lazily turned over and said in a soft voice, “Husband, you don’t understand, it’s because Meng’er was not born by a concubine.” , That's why the concubine has to favor him! "

Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded for a moment, and said: "You are the main wife, it seems that there is no need to care so much about Qiu'er's feelings."

Tian Wan widened her beautiful eyes, and said: "That's not true, Qiu'er grew up with my concubine, and my concubine has already regarded her as a real sister."

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, and said, "Are you worried that Meng'er will not get a family fortune when he grows up, so you want to give him more love?"

Tian Wan hugged Zhao Kuo with a smile, and said, "Your husband is wise and powerful, you must have already planned it."

Zhao Kuo smiled, hugged the beauty into his arms with his backhand, and said softly: "Of course.

Don't worry, Qian'er will get a big world in the future, and what Meng'er and Rou'er get will not disappoint them. "

From China's point of view, one emperor seems to be enough.

However, considering the difficulty of communication in this era, it must be pointed out that a single Chinese dynasty cannot effectively rule the entire earth!Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Let's not talk about Meng'er and Rou'er, even if you have twenty or thirty children, as a husband, there will still be room for them to show their strengths in the future!"

"Twenty, thirty?"

Tian Wan's body trembled, and she said: "Husband, when will the concubine be born?

How about asking your husband to take in a few more concubines? "

Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "Forget it, it's fine as it is now.

When there are too many people, intrigue and all kinds of calculations are inevitable, and it is a headache to think about it. "

Zhao Kuo of later generations has seen many palace fighting dramas since he was a child, and he has a bit of a shadow on the matter of having too many wives.

Tian Wanjiao said: "But if the husband is unwilling to take a concubine, some people will say that the concubine is a jealous woman!"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing, and hugged Tian Wan's still attractive body tightly in his arms even though he had given birth to two children, and said softly: "Do women of this Marquis still care about other people's thoughts?

Remember, in this world only others listen to you, there is no reason for you to listen to others! "

This sentence gave Tian Wan great satisfaction.

The next moment, Tian Wan suddenly turned over and became a "knight".

Zhao Kuo was stunned: "Ma'am, what are you?" Tian Wanni said, "Since my husband insists on not taking a concubine, then I should try my best to give my husband more children!"

The joy here is not enough for outsiders.

In the next few days, Zhao Kuo worked hard to "sow seeds".

This kind of life once made Zhao Kuo quite exhausted, so he had to use ginseng tonic.

As the saying goes, there are only exhausted cows, but no plowed land!Fortunately, the sudden visit of a mysterious relative finally gave Zhao Kuo a chance to breathe for a few days.

At this time, the second anniversary of the founding of Zhao Guoxue Palace also arrived.

This celebration was very lively. The whole mountain was full of turbulent crowds, not only scholars and scholars, but also many scholars who came here for the name but were not included in the academy, and some arty Zhao State officials, even some aristocratic girls who came out secretly to choose their husbands, and all kinds of traders, large and small, that were indispensable for any gathering.

As the highest institution of learning in the country of Zhao and even in the entire Chinese world today, Zhao Guoxue Palace has only been in operation for two years, but with the strong national power of the country of Zhao, the full support of Zhao Kuo and the great reputation of Xun Kuang, the great sacrificial wine, it has attracted a lot of people. Many scholars and students from all over the world come here one after another.

Today's academy can be said to be changing with each passing day, becoming more prosperous day by day, and has truly taken on the embryonic form of Jixia Academy back then.

It is foreseeable that as long as it develops for a period of time, Zhao Guo's Academy will surely replace the previous position of Jixia Academy, and become the new center of Huaxia in the true sense!As the honorary sacrificial wine of Zhao Guoxue Palace, Zhao Kuo was invited to participate in the second anniversary celebration of the academy as a matter of course.

To Zhao Kuo's surprise, shortly after he arrived at the academy, two other unexpected guests also appeared.

"The king is here, the grand master is here!"

Amidst the almost hoarse shouts of welcoming guests, a carriage slowly approached, and then the young King Zhao Yan and Grand Master Han Xuwei appeared together.

Zhao Kuo didn't dare to neglect, and immediately followed Xun Kuang to greet him: "I have seen the king!"

Looking around, the little king of Zhao was obviously very curious, looked at Zhao Kuo and Xun Kuang and said with a smile: "The queen mother said that today's school palace is where the Great Zhao Mai is located, let the widows also come and have a look, study and study, sacrifice wine and Wu Xin You don't mind, do you?"

As he grows older day by day, Little Zhao Wang has become more and more calm when speaking.

Xun Kuang hurriedly said: "What is your Majesty talking about, His Majesty is the most honorable guest that I have been unable to invite.

Your Majesty, please take your seat quickly! "

Zhao Kuo also looked at this scene with a smile, but in the next moment, Zhao Kuo's eyes met Han Xuwei's.

Han Xu smiled and saluted Zhao Kuo.

Looking at Han Xuwei's smile, Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly tightened for no reason.

How do you feel that this old guy's smile is a bit malicious?

Chapter 341 I heard that Wu Xinjun has a gift to give?

If the original celebration was a very serious atmosphere, then the arrival of Little Zhao Wang directly turned this seriousness into solemnity.

After all, he is the monarch of the most powerful country in the world!During the sacrificial ceremony, Zhao Wang naturally stood in front, while Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei stood about two or three steps behind Zhao Wang.

Seeing the King Zhao in front doing the sacrificial ritual under the guidance of Xun Kuang, Zhao Kuo was a little bored waiting behind, and couldn't help but smiled at Han Xuwei next to him: "The grand master saw that piece of the Marquis Ben Did you give away the stone?

What happened to you here two years ago is still fresh in Ben Hou's memory. "

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Han Xuwei's face suddenly changed.

It was also here two years ago that Han Xuwei wanted to mock Zhao Kuo, but he didn't expect to be directly overturned by Zhao Kuo's "Four Sentences of Hengqu", which made Han Xuwei very embarrassed, and he was suddenly in Zhao Kuo's political arena. Cited as a laughing stock.

Zhao Kuo brought up the old things in this old place today, obviously to expose the scars and embarrass Han Xu.

Han Xuwei sneered and said, "Why, don't you have any gifts you want to give today, Mr. Wu Xin?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "If the grand master wishes, what kind of things can't I get out?"

Han Xuwei snorted heavily, but didn't speak.

Seeing Han Xuwei's angry look, Zhao Kuo's smile grew stronger.

Han Xuwei, Han Xuwei, do you really think you are the only one who is disgusting?

Benhou is a person who came from the Internet age. When it comes to yin and yang, you are not even qualified to give Benhou his shoes!Don't you, Han Xuwei, like to target Ben Hou whenever you have a chance?

Now that Benhou has the opportunity to disgust you, it's fair.

Zhao Kuo obviously succeeded in disgusting Han Xuwei, and during the whole sacrifice process, Han Xuwei insisted on not saying a single word.

After the sacrifice, it will be the most eye-catching debate meeting of Huaxia Academy this year.

One person from each family, who can defeat all others will be the final champion!Such a system not only tests a person's on-the-spot reaction, but also has high requirements for the richness of knowledge, the dexterity of the tongue, and so on.

All the scholars who appeared on the stage were obviously prepared. It can be said that the per capita witty remarks are often repeated. After one pass, Zhao Kuo from later generations couldn't help nodding his head with many opinions.
