Three Kingdoms: Summon the Black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao at the beginning

Suddenly, Wang Yao fell into the clouds and regained consciousness. He had already arrived in another parallel time and space.

The first year of Yongkang in the Eastern Han Dynasty (167 AD), the seventh day of the seventh month.

Xun Yuan, the wife of Wang Qi, the governor of Lujiang, gave birth to a son and named him "Yao". Many guests came to congratulate him.

As a time traveler, Wang Yao was conscious even when he was just born, but this young body could not do anything.

Listening to the words of the people around him, such as the Lord of the Wang Mansion, Madam, and the Noble Young Master, Wang Yao guessed that his initial status in this life seemed to be pretty good.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

Emperor Huan Liu Zhi died in the second year after Wang Yao was born. The Han Dynasty was officially inherited by Liu Hong. Liu Hong, who had just ascended the throne, was just a puppet. However, these things in the capital had little to do with Wang Qi, an official from other places.

With the family background of the Wang family of Taiyuan and the marriage relationship with the Xun family of Yingchuan, Wang Qi's official career was smooth sailing.

In the fourth year of Xiping (175 AD), Wang Qi cooperated with Jiujiang prefect Lu Zhi to quell the barbarian rebellion in Yangzhou and was promoted to the governor of Yangzhou.

Wang Qi reported to the court and made Shouchun the seat of government, and began to rectify the internal and external affairs of Yangzhou.

Governor's Mansion

Young Wang Yao, in the courtyard, waved a sharp sword, the blade cut through the air, bringing a series of subtle but clear sword sounds.

His movements were smooth and powerful. Every turn and every swing of the sword were just right, neither redundant nor lacking in strength, just like flowing clouds and water, extremely natural.

After a set of sword moves, the young man put away his sword.

The middle-aged man on the side said: "Sir, your swordsmanship has improved a lot during this period."

Wang Yao turned around and bowed: "It's all because of your good teaching, Master."

Two years ago, Yao Guangxiao found Wang Yao. This evil monk really made some name for himself. However, due to the social situation in the Han Dynasty, monks were not given much importance. He never entered the court, but made a name for himself among the grass.

At the beginning, Wang Yue served as a general of the Tiger Guards in the court. Because he couldn't stand the endless fighting between eunuchs and relatives, he resigned and traveled around the world. Somehow, Yao Guangxiao tricked him to Yangzhou to be Wang Yao's swordsmanship teacher.

After more than a year of getting along, Wang Yue was very satisfied with his student.

"You are too kind, sir. Your talent and hard work are indispensable."

Wang Yue paused and said, "All good things must come to an end. It is time for us to say goodbye as master and disciple."

"Master, are you leaving?"

"Some things need to be done." Wang Yue touched Wang Yao's head and said, "When I am not here, you must practice swordsmanship diligently and not slack off. The next time we meet, I will test you carefully."

"I will obey your orders."

After giving him a few more instructions, Wang Yue got up and left.

Wang Yao sent him to the gate of the governor's mansion and watched Wang Yue ride away.

Gripping the scabbard tightly in his hand, Wang Yao returned to the courtyard and looked at the small bamboo forest, thinking about the current situation in his heart.

It has been nearly nine years since he traveled through time. This body can't do anything big, so he can only constantly improve himself.

As a child of aristocratic family, he must learn the six arts of a gentleman, chess, calligraphy and painting. He must learn a little bit, even if he doesn't master everything.

In the rest of the time, Wang Yao also studied "The Art of War", "Strategies of the Warring States", "Han Feizi", "Lüshi Chunqiu" and other works.

It is said that in this era, although Cai Lun improved the papermaking technique, bamboo slips are still widely used.

Most books are also based on bamboo slips, and are controlled by the nobles and powerful.

Relying on the status of his father Wang Xi, Wang Yao basically read all the books he could get, and after filtering out the duplicates, there were actually not many.

A large cart of bamboo slips only had the volume of a few books, which was really inconvenient.

The key is that Wang Yao's hands-on ability is average, and he can't make more advanced and useful paper by himself.

Even if he can't do it himself, there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the contemporary world.

Recalling the records of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" that he read in his previous life, Wang Yao remembered the method of making paper with bamboo that was popular in the Song Dynasty.

So he begged his father to find some craftsmen to experiment.

Wang Qi didn't care about the children's playfulness. It was not troublesome to find craftsmen anyway. He just needed to talk, so he found a group of famous craftsmen in Yangzhou to play with Wang Yao.

Yangzhou area is not short of raw materials such as bamboo.

Wang Yao provided ideas, and the rest was up to the craftsmen to explore.

After tinkering for two or three years, the finished product was much better than "Cai Hou Paper" and was much smoother to write on.

When Wang Qi saw that his son had actually led a group of craftsmen to make good paper, he naturally used his connections to promote it. In the eyes of the great scholars of the time, paper was a good thing. It was easy to carry and not as heavy as bamboo slips. It was convenient for writing books and spreading ideas.

For a time, the gentry and the powerful all knew that Wang Yao had reformed the papermaking technique after Cai Lun. Wang Yao became famous and gained a wave of reputation. He officially appeared in the eyes of the mainstream gentry in the world.

However, this had no effect on ordinary people, and knowledge would not fall into their hands.

In terms of doing things, Wang Yao was still very moderate.

Printing was much simpler than papermaking, but Wang Yao did not choose to say it.

In the eyes of the gentry, paper was comfortable, easy to use, and convenient, but printing would really accelerate the outflow of knowledge and shake the cultural monopoly.

Although the lower-class people still had no opportunities, more poor and powerful people could easily obtain knowledge.

At present, Wang Yao, who is in a weak position, needs the support of the gentry. When he rises to prominence in the future, it will be the time to use the combination of printing and imperial examinations to support the poor and powerful and suppress the gentry.

Put the sword in his hand back on the sword rack in the room and change his clothes.

Wang Yao walked to the study room.Wang Xi would usually handle affairs there.

As a governor, Wang Xi did not need to sit in the hall all the time. He only needed to take a little time every day to listen to the reports of his subordinates and give instructions.

Most of the time, he still preferred to stay in the study, a more private place to handle official business.

When he came to the study, Wang Yao knocked on the door gently: "Dad, it's me."

Wang Xi in the room heard the movement and responded: "Axing, come in."

Axing is Wang Yao's nickname, just like Cao Cao's nickname Aman.

At present, Wang Yao has no need to go out to study, nor has he been crowned, so he has not yet taken a name.

This nickname is said to be given by Xun Yuan when she gave birth, and she saw the stars falling in a trance.

Pushing the door and walking into the study, Wang Yao closed the door again.

"Dad, I'm here." Wang Yao approached the table with a smile: "Why did you call me over?"

Although etiquette was important in ancient times, it was not necessary for a family to have to perform formalities every day when they met.

"Of course it's important." Wang Qi handed him a few letters: "Take a look. Since you led a group of craftsmen to improve papermaking and became famous, many great scholars want to take you as a student, including Lu Zigan, Zheng Kangcheng, Ma Wengshu, Xun Ciming, Cai Bojie, and Qiao Gongzu. Take a look and choose one."

"Good news, good news."

Wang Yao looked at the letters. These are all famous people of the time.
