Liu Yu is acting according to her own plan.

There was an undercurrent in the court.

The generals are more honest. They are not very concerned about culture and care more about military tactics, martial arts, morale of the generals and soldiers. In their eyes, scholars are worthy of respect, but they have no connection with them.

The generals lived a lot more at ease, eating what they should eat and drinking what they should drink.

But it’s different for civil officials.

The role of paper and books will definitely increase the talents in the world. The civil officials began to worry. To become a top general, you need excellent personal talent, and there are certain opportunities and wealth. Without such a few conditions, even if you practice yourself to death, it will be useless. The literati is different. The requirements are lower than those of the general, but the most important thing is to have enough books to study. The success rate is much higher than that of the general.

When the imperial court is old, there will be anyone. Some officials who are busy waiting to die still exist. They used to rely on their aristocratic family, and their official positions are relatively leisurely and have no real power, so they keep working in their positions. After all, Liu Yu thought about raising these people at the beginning so that the aristocratic family can feel at ease.

Now Liu Yu has begun to poach the foundation of the aristocratic family, and officials from the aristocratic family realize that their future may be very dangerous.

But they cannot compete with the whole world. Because now the books have been promoted, any objection raised by anyone will definitely be scolded to death by scholars in the world, waiting for the infamous devil for thousands of years.

Don’t underestimate the small pen in the hands of a scholar. Sometimes it can kill people invisibly. The most disgusting thing is that scholars can record things and spread them to future generations. What is the Spring and Autumn style? It means that the author can write whatever he wants. At the beginning, someone may refute it, but what will happen thousands of years later? Who can know?

Living in the present is worthy of recognition, but it is not good to leave a reputation in a hundred years.

What's more, once you have a background objection, you may not be able to live in the present moment.

Because many great scholars today have expressed their appreciation for His Majesty's feat, both openly and secretly. Among them, the one who danced the most was Sima Hui, the Shuijing, who lived from Jingzhou to Luoyang.

In Sima Hui's mouth, Liu Yu has become a wise ruler for all ages and has reached the point where he has never been before.

If you flatter someone like this, just listen to the aristocratic family who is dissatisfied with Liu Yu. But the Shenwu court has already agreed with this statement.

If you do anything, unless you are strong enough to resist all difficulties, you can do it alone. Without such a premise, you need allies.

The aristocratic family wanted to oppose this policy and looked around, but found that there was no one who recognized them, let alone allies.

Liu Yu was happy about such public opinion, and he knew that his plan had begun to work.

Liu Yu believes that it will only take a few years before his next plan can be implemented.

Scholars are constantly buying a large number of books, and merchants are busy, and Shaofu is also in more and more investments.

Liu Yu was filled with joy as he looked at the increasing financial figures.

It's really a win-win situation.

The one who admires Liu Yu the most is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and his adviser thought that Liu Yu would move, but he didn't expect that this move was so big that Cao Cao himself dared not think about it.

Using merchants as a medium to fully be responsible for the promotion of books and papers is beyond all expectations. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have distinct hierarchies. Merchants are the most lowly and are also the class that the Han Dynasty has always suppressed. However, Liu Yu used these people to do things, and he did not even discuss with the civil and military officials of the court.

Many ministers have opinions. They think that if they let the merchants do it, what do they need to do with officials?

Cao Cao thought Liu Yu would be in a little trouble next.

The matter was once again beyond Cao Cao's expectations. The ministers in the court secretly had some opinions, but none of them dared to stand up and oppose them.

If no one comes out to object, that means default.

Only then did Cao Cao understand Liu Yu's intentions. The killing of chickens in the morning court had an excellent effect. Cao Cao thought carefully and found that Liu Yu had planned this for a long time. This surprised Cao Cao. The papermaking technique requires a lot of financial, material, manpower and several years. Liu Yu had been setting up such a situation for many years, and it is more likely that it started when the princes were united. Now, so smoothness can better confirm Cao Cao's guess.

"Boxuan, this guy, is really scheming!" Cao Cao gave Liu Yu such an evaluation.

What shocked Cao Cao was still behind!

The court handed over the business of selling books and paper to merchants in various states. So was Huang Chong, the world's richest businessman, abandoned by Liu Yu in this matter?

It's exactly the opposite.

Liu Yu handed over the most profitable one to Huang Chong and Li Gui, allowing them to play freely.

Li Gui ordered his men to transport books, paper and other items to Lujiang, which borders Jiangdong, and prepare to smuggle them to Jiangdong. Huang Chong even took his men to Hanzhong in person.

The situation in Jiangdong is quite special. After the Yangtze River Trade Road is blocked, it is very difficult for a large number of goods to enter Jiangdong.

However, in Lujiang, many merchants want to transport goods to Jiangdong. The only way is to smuggle them in the middle of the night. This risk is very high, and they will encounter Jiangdong's patrol fleet every time. If it is not good, their lives will be over.

However, not everyone in Jiangdong was loyal to their duties. Xu Cong, a general in charge of patrol, was bribed by merchants in Lujiang. As long as he was responsible for patrol, the merchants would start to act in the middle of the night.

Xu Cong was born in a humble family and suffered a lot when he was a child. After joining the army, Xu Congcai got full. Maybe he was afraid of being hungry or poor. Xu Cong didn't want to live the same life as before and yearn for a rich life even more. If he wanted to live a better life in his heart, it would not work with the little salary given by Sun Ce alone. So Xu Cong began to think in many aspects.

By chance, Xu Cong discovered that merchants often smuggled goods to Jiangdong, and merchants in Jiangdong also smuggled goods to Jingzhou and Yuzhou.

There is a lot of oil in it.

Xu Cong decisively tried several times. Smuggling was to keep his head and keep his meals at his waist. He was blocked by the officers and soldiers, and there was only a dead end. Xu Cong caught a few smuggling merchants, said a few high-sounding words and said he was willing to let them go, and these smuggling merchants needed to pay some money.

How could businessmen not be willing to do so? They can save their lives and money and other things are easy to say.

After a while, the merchants knew that there was a relatively easy-to-talk among the generals of the Jiangdong Army. In the end, Xu Cong even reached an agreement with the merchants.

The patrol fleets are almost the same, so why can merchants recognize them?

The fleet patrolling in Jiangdong will have lanterns on the ship. The general patrol fleet has four lanterns, while the patrol fleet of Xu Cong is carrying six lanterns. As long as you see the Jiangdong patrol fleet with six lanterns, merchants will know that their chance has come.

The bribery is for purchase, but Xu Cong had to check the merchants who arrived in Jiangdong so as not to have any accidents and his head was insured.

Fortunately, it has always been smuggled, and there are not many hidden dangers.

Li Gui suddenly discovered this huge opportunity. If he made good use of it, he might be able to use it as a breakthrough point for attacking Jiangdong in the future.

So, the "Sanbu" spies began to pay huge sums of money to buy them.

Under the offensive of money, Xu Cong still decisively obeyed his inner desires.

Under Li Gui's instructions, the "Anbu" spies began to smuggle books and papers to Jiangdong under the name of a businessman.

Xu Cong was a person who only recognized money. He didn't know what the book and paper had at all, so he didn't ask.

Cheap and use books and papers are quietly popular. The "Ancient Bu" spies did not sell them on the spot, but found the Jiangdong family and sold the goods to them. As for how much the Jiangdong family costs or how to deal with it, they didn't care.

It's simply killing people.

Of course, the Jiangdong family was very excited when they saw such a good thing. The Jiangdong family was deeply rooted. They were treated much better in recent years than the Central Plains. Even if Sun Ce checked and balanced them, he would not dare to be as ruthless as Liu Yu. The Jiangdong family began to sell books and paper quietly. They were very low-key and were very worried that they would be discovered by Sun Ce.

Among them, the most profitable ones are the spies from the "Dark Department". They just took the money and left, and they did not guarantee the after-sales issue. This kind of business is really easy to do.

The aristocratic families in Jiangdong thought they had made a lot of money, but they didn't know that Jiangdong's money was constantly moving towards the Central Plains through this smuggling channel.

In Hanzhong City, Hanzhong Prefect Huang Xu met Huang Chong.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years, what wind has blown you over." Huang Xu and Huang Chong are brothers of the same clan, while Huang Chong is relatively older.

Since Huang Xu took office as the prefect of Hanzhong, Huang Chong has not seen Huang Xu. Huang Xu has been working in Hanzhong for so many years.

"My brother, I brought so many people to Hanzhong today, and brought His Majesty's will." Huang Chong said nothing, and gave Liu Yu's will directly to Huang Xu.

Huang Xu stood up quickly.

Huang Chong immediately said, "Brother, Your Majesty has told you that only you know about this."

Huang Xu immediately understood what the imperial edict Liu Yu gave to Huang Chong was even worse than Huang Chong.

After Huang Chong handed the imperial edict to Huang Xu, he went away directly. Liu Yu told him that only Huang Xu knew about it, so Huang Chong could not take a look.

After Huang Xu finished reading it, his face was slightly moved, but it calmed down immediately.

Over the years, Huang Xu's mind and nature have matured a lot in Hanzhong, and he is not as impetuous as he was when he was young.

"Brother, don't worry, I am still very familiar with the Hanzhong area. I will definitely support you whenever I meet the needs." Huang Xu said.

What did Liu Yu say in the imperial edict? No one knows the third one except Liu Yu and Huang Xu.

Huang Chong came to Yizhou in person to take the opportunity to obtain some related situations in Yizhou, and to send people to do business in the future.

If it weren't for Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others as internal responses, and using Liu Bei's methods, it would be very difficult for the Shenwu court to know a little about the situation in Yizhou.

The main roads for merchants to and from, have long been burned by Liu Zhang with fire. Now the only roads are just used to transport them by human power.

Such a transportation method is a last resort.

Originally, Huang Chong wanted to transfer to Yizhou in Jingzhou. However, Zhang Ren and others in the eastern part of Yizhou were in a state of confrontation with Liu Bei. The business path was different, so it was better to transport them from Hanzhong and other places.

Huang Chong planned to come and explore the commercial route, but after walking halfway, he gave up. He understood that if the commercial routes to Yizhou were all these small routes, it would not have much practical value.

Although there are risks along the way, the effect is huge. There are still many books and papers sent to Yizhou.

The "Ancient Ministry" also sent people to notify Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Cao Bi, asking them to cooperate secretly. Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, Cao Bi did not dare to neglect them, and immediately sent his confidant to contact him.

It is better to have local snake connections. People who transport books and papers did not encounter any obstacles from Yizhou.

At the same time, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were both ready for the aftermath and smoothed out all the traces.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng had already owned exquisitely packaged books before, and now they have so many books and papers, and they were almost shocked. Such good things are actually sold to Yizhou. Wouldn't they keep them for use?

But the spy "Andou" firmly stated that this is His Majesty's will and there is no objection. If Fa Zheng and Zhang Song and the others wanted it themselves, they could bring some for free.

This is a benefit.

Of course, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng would not be polite. Since such good things can be sold out, it means that there are many things in the court.

The emergence of books and paper once again caused the looting of wealthy people in Yizhou.

Compared with the scarcity before, the quantity and supply this time are huge, and the price is not that expensive.

Of course, as the first to be successful, it is Cao Bi and Cao's boss.

Boss Cao now almost gave up the promising profession of brothel shopkeepers and began to sell books and papers.

It is really hard to guess how big the profit is.

It is obvious that Cao Bi is the only one selling in Yizhou. It is in a monopoly situation, and the wealth is naturally booming. There are many families and many local tyrants in Yizhou. They usually like to recite poems and write pairs when they are idle. Now that these papers appear, they will invite three or five friends to write poems and songs deep in the bamboo forest, and laugh at life. Wouldn’t it be a pleasure?
