Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

Was fed stuttering again.

The eunuch couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, Jing Ke didn't succeed in the end!"

Liu Xie glared at him and said, "Eunuch Dog, do you think I don't know? I just think about it."

Doesn't Liu Xie know that the palace is full of Cao Cao's people?

Even the maids who feed him are also Cao Cao's people.

And the concubine in his own harem, or Cao Cao's daughter.

"The widow still knows the current affairs, otherwise he will be like the widow's short-lived brother."

"After such an analysis, Jiangdong may be in chaos now. This is Prime Minister Cao's chance!"

Liu Xie was still smart, he guessed what was going to happen in Jiangdong when he saw the analysis from the sky, ordinary people would not think so much.

He just had to act stupid because he was a puppet.

If he was really stupid, how could he have issued a commoner order to kill Cao Cao?

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and enjoyed the service of the maid at ease. Anyway, he still had decades to live.

……

Said back to Fei.

Before Jiangdong was in chaos, voices of discussion began to appear in the Jiangdong Army in Hefei.

Everyone hopes that they serve the Ming Lord, Sun Jian obviously does, Sun Ce obviously does too, not to mention Sun Quan.

But they can't guarantee their offspring either.

In particular, the State of Wu was destroyed within a few years of its establishment. The first question in Jiangxia County has already explained that the Three Kingdoms era is not long.

So these things may have happened to their son, their grandson.

There are really some young people who feel that they can live to the seventies, and these things may happen to themselves!

Then how can you stay calm?

If you say what will happen in 200 years, everyone is fine, after all, there were not no faint emperors in the Han Dynasty.

But how can you tell people to ignore things in recent decades?

Zhou Yu's expression was not very good, he only hoped that the analysis in the sky would disappear soon.

Every second of existence, he felt torment!

I'm afraid the same is true for the lord in Wudi.

Fortunately, the analysis did not exist for a long time, and it soon turned into a reward.

And the place where it fell turned out to be in their barracks!

Zhou Yu asked the soldier who got the reward to come in, but the one who got the reward was not a soldier, but a general.

The general's name is Zhou Hu, and he is in the same family as Zhou Yu. He is a little-known general, also known as the so-called assistant general and tooth general, without a specific official position!

"The Governor!"

"General Zhou, please stand up." Zhou Yu ordered someone to give him a seat.

Zhou Hu was flattered.

The generals he was talking about actually had a higher status than the soldiers. After the promotion of the assistant generals, they were the partial generals, that is, the generals who assisted the general.

To be worthy of the title of general, at least one must be a general with a miscellaneous name!

Zhou Hu was a little uneasy after taking his seat, looking very nervous.

Zhou Yu went straight to the point and asked, "What reward did General Zhou get?"

This kind of bluntness is quite condescending, and it will naturally cause people to be uncomfortable in later generations, but it seems very natural at this time.

Zhou Hu didn't pay attention, but replied directly: "I will tell the governor that a technology that I will acquire at the end is called movable type printing."

"This technique is one of the four great inventions of Chinese civilization through the ages!"

The four great inventions of the ages.

The weight of this sentence is simply indistinguishable.

Zhou Yu even asked: "What's so special about movable type printing?"

Seeing Zhou Yu's eagerness, Zhou Hu said, "Actually, this technique is useless in war. It is a study technique."

"Like a seal, engrave each word on a separate square, then make a box, arrange the squares in order, and ink."

"In this way, if you print it on paper, you can easily fill the paper with words. If you want to write something else, you only need to replace the seal."

Zhou Yu understood.

This technique is indeed of no help in combat.

But it can make the book popular quickly.

How many books have been excerpted from a historical record to the present day?Zhou Yu thought there were only a few hundred copies.

But with printing technology, thousands of copies can be printed quickly. If each book is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of copies, wouldn't everyone in the world have a book?

Thinking of that time, even Zhou Yu's body trembled.

Zhou Hu's voice pulled it back: "The popularization of printing can make the people no longer ignorant. If everyone can read and write, then the country will definitely be strong."

"This is the reason why movable type printing can become one of the four great inventions of the ages!"

Zhou Yu nodded, but also sighed: "If this thing appeared ten years first, then our Jiangdong will definitely be able to become strong with this thing."

"But now it's useless to us."

This is indeed the case. Jiangdong is now in chaos, and it is still unclear whether Jiangdong forces will exist in the future.

……

159 chapters of the first history book

Movable type printing did not appear at the right time.

But if they can win Hefei, then they will usher in peace for several years in Jiangdong.

With these few years, the number of literati in Jiangdong will definitely increase several times.

If they can't take Hefei City in the future, they can only retreat to the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Then Cao Cao will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Jiangdong will be caught in the flames of war in the next few years.

To be honest, even Zhou Yu himself didn't know whether Jiang Dong could persevere.

Now Jiangdong may have become a mess, not only the problems in the sky, but also Cao Cao's backhand.

These are pressing Sun Quan step by step.

"Probably not, after all, the interests of the lord and them are quite equal."

"They know that they are going to face Cao Cao now." Lu Meng said subconsciously.

Zhou Yu knocked on the table and said, "You don't understand, those aristocratic families only have interests in their eyes, and if interests don't meet their standards."

"Then they will not hesitate to seek refuge with other people."

Lu Meng was a little puzzled, and said, "Take refuge in Cao Cao? If they take refuge in Cao Cao, will they have so much convenience given to them by the lord?"

The benefits that Sun Quan or the Sun family gave up were irresistible to the family members. This is why the Sun family has always been able to get help from other family members.

In Lu Meng's view, Sun Quan has been firmly bound to the interests of the aristocratic clans.

"It depends on who has more advantages and disadvantages."

Zhou Yu felt a little tired.

"dong dong dong dong~"

The sound of Cao Cao's war drums sounded outside again, and the drums were stirring the tight strings of the Jiangdong Army.

Some people have already questioned their allegiance to Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu doesn't want to think too much about Jiangdong's affairs now, there are Sun Quan, Lu Su, and even others there.

But now the most important thing for him is to appease the hearts of the soldiers in the army.

……

The soldiers who went out to mine on the other side also returned to Hefei City.

It is gratifying to bring back the harvest, because Baima Mountain is really rich in dolomite and limestone mines.

The soldier's name is Chang Fugui, and it seems that his parents' prayers have finally been fulfilled, so he can be the lucky one.

After bringing back the concrete, Chang Fugui expropriated the blacksmith shop in Hefei City, and even had a conflict with Ma Yue.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao came to mediate, so this matter did not become a big deal.

Later, because the forging of the Mo knife took too long, Zhang Liao asked Chang Fugui to use the stove in the blacksmith's shop first.

Limestone needs a ripening process, heating and stirring, not only to fully integrate several kinds of stones, but also to remove excess impurities.

When this is done, the clinker is cooled and then crushed into powder, thus making cement.

Cement is mixed with high-quality river sand before concrete.

It will take at least three days to do all this.

During this time, the fifth question also appeared.

[Fifth question: The __ created by the Han Dynasty is called the first in history books]

[This question is a fill-in-the-blank question]

This is not a difficult question to choose.

Because the title gives a clear clue, that is the history book.

For the learned person, the answer is quickly searched in the head.

"History? What is that?"

Dian Wei was the only one who asked this question.

Dian Wei who didn't say a word finally said a word, but he asked such a question.

Everyone else felt quite speechless.

But many generals in the army can't write, and they haven't seen the four books and five classics that are widely circulated, let alone familiar with history.

Another reason is that Dian Wei is now surrounded by four of the five good generals Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Le Jin, and Zhang He.

The last person is Jiang Ji, who can be called a genius even in this world.

Not to mention Cao Cao, he liked Dian Wei's straightforward character very much, so he explained: "Historical books are books that record history. The real history is summarized from the records of the predecessors and then revised."

"History books are divided into official history and unofficial history. Official history is the history written by official historians, while unofficial history is the history recorded by folks."

"Usually the official history is more accurate, and there are some true records in the unofficial history, but most of them are compiled by human hearsay."

"Some people even combine history and mythology like Taoists and novelists, so that more people like to read it."

Dian Wei nodded half understanding.

But Cao Cao stopped explaining in more detail, and turned to the question: "Of course the Han Dynasty is from the ancestor Liu Bang to the present."

"If we talk about official history, it should be Sima Zichang's Taishi Gongshu and Ban Mengjian's Hanshu, but unofficial history is unknown."

Everyone nodded. Naturally, there are other historical books in the official history, which are all recorded by official historians.

But compared with the two books mentioned by Cao Cao, they are simply the difference between clouds and mud, heaven and earth, lakes and seas.

"Ban Gu's Hanshu has a total of 230 articles, starting from the first year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and ending in the fourth year of Wang Mang Dihuang, recording a total of [-] years of historical events."

"Hanshu also used a large number of edicts, memorials, poems, "Han Zhuji" similar to daily life notes, and astronomical and calendar books."

"There are more historical materials than Taishi Gongshu, so I respect Hanshu more." Zhang Liao said.

He is a typical Confucian school, and there are a lot of Confucian school information in Hanshu, which will make today's literati even more fond of it.

So Zhang He, Jiang Ji, and Le Jin all nodded immediately.

It seems that only Xu Huang didn't agree.
