Chapter 130 Printing and Papermaking
"As for the last Literature Academy, the position of dean is naturally my teacher Cai Yong. Moreover, in my Youzhou Academy, there will definitely be no only Confucianism, astronomy, geography, poetry, essays, arithmetics, military, and agriculture. Do you have any objections?"
"It depends on the lord's order." Everyone shouted at the same time. After all, they naturally would not object to the academy's affairs that benefit the country and the people. As for so many subjects, after Liu Yao said this just now, they naturally had no intention of opposing it. After all, each subject has their own intentions and is indispensable.
"Report to the lord, the money and money of this academy is not a problem, it's just a problem with this gentleman..." Refusing to accept it said hesitantly. After all, there are not many teachers in Youzhou.
"You are relieved to worry about this matter," Liu Yao said, then looked at Cai Yong. "You still need to trouble you, teacher."
"Yaoer, please rest assured. I will write a letter to invite my friends and disciples to come to Youzhou to attend the opening of our Youzhou Academy." Cai Yong promised. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Then I'll thank you teacher."
Then Liu Yao said to Ju Su, "Du Gong, after the time comes, you can start looking for a conspicuous place and see the completion of our Youzhou Third Court in three months. And spread the news about our Youzhou Academy to all parts of the Han Dynasty." After all, these three months are enough for Cai Yong's friends to come to Youzhou. And Cai Yong's influence alone is naturally not enough, so coupled with Liu Yao's current reputation, it is almost the same.
"No." Ju Su Yingnuo said. These three months are definitely more than enough.
Seeing this, Liu Yao said confidently and mysteriously, "When the day the academy opens, I will also give out a big gift. At that time, my reputation as Youzhou Academy will definitely surpass Yingchuan Academy and Jingzhou Academy."
Everyone couldn't help but feel excited when they saw Liu Yao's appearance. They naturally believed Liu Yao's words, after all, Liu Yao had created too many miracles.
"If there is nothing to do, then let's break up and perform their own duties. Mr. Mo, you two stay here, and I have something to discuss with you." Liu Yao waved his hand and said casually.
"No." Everyone obeyed the order and all went out. After all, they were in high positions and had a lot of things to do. Of course, there was another person who stayed silly. That was naturally Guo Jia, the second idle person in Youzhou. As for the first idle person, there was no doubt that it was Liu Yao himself. Liu Yao didn't say anything about this. After all, Guo Jia was very strict and would not reveal this secret. So there would be no surprises at all.
"Old Mo, Deheng, Fengxiao, come and take a look at this thing." Liu Yao took out the drawings of papermaking and movable type printing from his sleeve.
The three of them curiously took the drawings and started to figure them out.
"Lord...this...this is really the same as what is said on the drawings!!!" Guo Jia said stutteringly with a shocked look on his face.
Liu Yao nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, paper made according to this method is not only easy to write, but also cheap. In this way, it can be made into books. Such books are completely less heavy than the bamboo slips in the past. And this movable type printing technique can print such books in large quantities. With these two treasures, our Youzhou Academy can't be famous."
"Lord, and this paper will definitely be favored by the aristocratic families, and we can make a lot of money when the time comes." Guo Jia said with a wicked smile.
Liu Yao couldn't help but smirk. Liu Yao's original intention was the same. Except for those used in Youzhou, other papers and books will naturally be sold at high prices. How could such treasures be spared by those families? They are all rich. How can Liu Yao be worthy of himself if he doesn't search it carefully?
"The lord is really a god. This method can be an invention that has been passed down through the ages. Even my ancestors are definitely not as good as you, lord." Mo Tian kept exclaiming. His starting point for looking at things was different from Guo Jia and Liu Yao. What he was concerned about was the magic of this paper.
When Liu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but think, "This is the second of the four great inventions of ancient China, how can it not be passed down through the ages?"
"I don't know if Mr. Mo and Deheng are sure to make it." Liu Yao asked.
After hearing this, Mo Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Lord, you wrote this drawing so clearly. If I couldn't make it, then I would be ashamed of the ancestors of the Mo family." Ma Jun also nodded at the same time, agreeing with Mo Tian's opinion on matters.
Liu Yao couldn't help but feel silent. The drawings exchanged in ancient books have one advantage. That is, they are very detailed. The materials and proportions required for this paper, as well as the clay characters in movable type printing, the proportions of the soil, and how to burn the paper, are all clearly written bit by bit. No wonder Mo Tian looked like he heard it.
"Then all this has to be left to you, Mr. Mo. I hope that before the establishment of Youzhou College, I can print more books." Liu Yao said.
"I will never let down the lord's entrustedness." Mo Tian and Ma Jun said firmly at the same time. After that, they left the General's Mansion and set about preparing for these things.
"Lord, can you give me one first when this book comes out?" Guo Jia said with a shy face. He was also extremely curious about this thing. It was so magical to be able to put all the contents that can be recorded in dozens of bamboo slips into a small book. Moreover, he also liked reading books since he was a child, otherwise he would not have used the effect of Wushisan to cheer up his mind when he was a child.
Liu Yao looked at Guo Jia with a funny look, "This first book is not your share, so it is naturally for my teacher Cai Yong. As for this second book..." Liu Yao listened deliberately and deliberately teased Guo Jia.
Sure enough, Guo Jia not only felt his heart aroused after hearing Liu Yao's words.
Then Liu Yao said seriously, "As long as you can follow Mr. Hua to take good care of your health in the past few months, and then bring Zhicai up with you, I can consider it at that time."
"Thank you, lord, Jia must obey your orders." Guo Jia said with a smile. But he was still very moved by Liu Yao's concern.
"You..." Liu Yao looked at Guo Jia with a funny look, and then turned back to the inner hall without looking back. Only Guo Jia was left alone there and I don't know what he was thinking.
Two months passed quickly. With Liu Yao's full support in the past two months, the Third Hospital of Youzhou has stood on a large open space in the northern part of Ji County. Not far from the Third Hospital, that is the military camp, which shows that Liu Yao attaches great importance to the Third Hospital of Youzhou.
However, the institute and the medical school did not open with the academy because they were not very valued, and it was officially established half a month ago. After Liu Yao sent the message, many craftsmen and doctors came to Youzhou to join the two hospitals. Many local young people from Youzhou who were more interested in these two joined the two hospitals. For a time, the medical school and the research school had already reached a considerable scale. After all, the salary offered by Liu Yao was not low, and the apprentices were all admitted for free.
There are more than 300 doctors of all sizes in medical schools, and more than 500 apprentices to study medicine, and the scale is still expanding. After these people grow up, the mortality rate in Youzhou will definitely be greatly reduced.
