Lu Bu ordered Chen Lin and others to forge letters from ministers such as Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, and Bian Rang to induce other families in Jizhou to come to Yecheng to divide the official positions. When the reinforcements of those families arrived in Yecheng one after another, Lu Bu sent troops to ambush the reinforcements. In recent days, the ambush operation has been progressing smoothly. Lu Bu felt that Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, and Bian Rang had no use value anymore, so he decided to kill them and their family's direct children to eliminate hidden dangers within Jizhou and avoid suffering from fighting outside in the future - forced back to fight back to quell the rebellion.--./-./

To Lu Bu's surprise, Ju Su, Tian Feng, Zhuge Xuan, Fa Yan, Dong Zhao, Chen Lin, Tian Chou, Han Hao, Man Chong and others in his camp came to persuade Lu Bu to kill Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others.

Lu Bu felt very surprised. If I had been jealous of Yang Biao's reputation as Cao Cao in history, I was afraid that Yang Biao would collude with Yuan Shu and put Yang Biao in prison. It would be understandable that you plead for mercy. Now that the evidence of Yang Biao's rebellion is certain, what else can I say?

Lu Bu asked them to state the reasons why they could not kill Yang Biao and others.

They did not disappoint Lu Bu: "Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, and Bian Rang are famous scholars of the aristocratic families and have a false reputation among the aristocratic families in the world. If the lord kills them, I am afraid that the public opinion of the aristocratic families in the world will be detrimental to the lord."

Lu Bulang laughed and said, "Isn't their amulet the little name of their honest name? If that little name is not there, all the people in the world will know about their private scandals and their reputation will be ruined. If they are killed, will other aristocratic families in the world refute them?"

Ju Su, Tian Feng and others looked at each other, then bowed and asked, "Can the lord destroy the reputation of these people?"

Lu Bu smiled without saying a word. He took them to the papermaking farm.

There are several papermaking farms in each county in Jizhou, especially more than a dozen papermaking farms are distributed in Yecheng. These papermaking farms are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry has a stationery department that manages the manufacturing of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, especially paper manufacturing.

There is also a papermaking farm in the Central Castle, distributed in a corner of the Central Castle. It covers an area of ​​dozens of acres and is the experimental base for Lu Bu's improved papermaking technology.

Ju Su and others couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the papermaking process. This was too fast.

Lu Bu's improved papermaking technique actually used the papermaking technique of the Ming Dynasty. In a large pot, put the scraps and cook the scraps to pieces. The fibers were dispersed until they were cooked into pulp. After the pulp was cooled, the pulp was then used to remove the pulp, filter the water and make the paper film. The scraped paper films were stacked one by one. Press them with a wooden board, place heavy stones on it, and press out the water. The semi-dry paper film was placed on the edge of the fire and dried, and then peeled off to make the finished product.

In this era, Cai Lun's papermaking technique was used. He often soaked the bark in lime water for two or three days, then steamed in a large pot for one day and one night, then scooped into clean water to wash, put it on a stone mill, then chopped it with a guillotine, then pressed it into a loose shape with a tool, then put it in a stone jar and pounded it with a stone tool, then put it in a stone trough to wash the slurry, and then cover the slurry on the paper curtain. In short, it is extremely troublesome, and it takes seven or eight days to make a batch of paper.

Lu Bu's improved papermaking technology only takes one day and one night to produce paper, and the quality is much better. The paper is bright and white and clean. The most important thing is that the materials are much cheaper, and the cost of five sheets of paper is less than one money.

Lu Bu and his ministers who came to visit the papermaking farm all praised: "This paper is so good, bright, white and clean, and it's so cheap, so I won't use bamboo slips in the future, just use this paper."

Zheng Hun, who was accompanying the tour, smiled and said, "If it weren't for the lord's repeated guidance, we might not have been able to create such good and cheap paper, let alone make so fast."

Lu Bu still smiled but said nothing, and took these civil servants who were loyal to him to visit another place.

A large roulette with a diameter of about seven feet and axle three feet high. The roulette is installed on the axle and can rotate freely. Ceramic blocks are placed in the grid in the plate, and each ceramic block is engraved with a word. Workers sit between two pairs of roulettes and turn the roulette to find the word. After finding the word, put it on an iron plate, and the mixture of roulette, wax, paper ash, etc. is released on the iron plate. An iron frame is surrounded by an iron frame. The iron frame is filled with the prints to be printed. The full version is filled with the plate. Then bake it with fire, melt the mixture and integrate it with the movable type blocks. Press it on the movable type while it is hot. Make the literal flat, and you can print it.

Zheng Hun smiled and introduced: "This is the printing technique first created by the lord. Using this method, printing two or three books may not be very fast. If the number of printing is too many, dozens or even thousands of books will be very efficient. In order to improve efficiency, we often use two iron plates, one to print and one to arrange characters. After printing one piece, the other is arranged again. This way, the efficiency is very high. Commonly used characters are like this, and each character is made into more than twenty characters, for the uncommon characters that are not prepared. They will be released temporarily and burned immediately with plants and fire. The characters removed from the printing plate are placed in a small wooden grid of the same character, and labels classified by rhyme are pasted on the outside for searching."

Ju Su and others looked at Lu Bu with a respectful look as if they were gods: "Lord, you are Cangjie alive, and the period for comprehensively promoting the education of saints is not far away."

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Now do you know how I will use to destroy their reputation?"

Ju Su and others smiled knowingly and said, "Print their bad deeds on paper and spread them to all directions, so that all people in the world can know the crimes of these people!"

Lu Bulang laughed loudly and said, "I let everyone who can read know their crimes. They can't even lose their reputation if they don't want to be ruined!"

Of course, Lu Bu improved papermaking and invented movable type printing mainly to popularize cultural education and implement universal education as soon as possible. It was just a side benefit to ruin the ministers of the aristocratic families such as Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, and Bian Rang.

Papermaking farms and printing farms distributed in Jizhou and various counties and cities in Bingzhou are rushing to work day and night. Nowadays, Jizhou and Bingzhou middle schools and primary schools can make every three students a book. With the expansion of papermaking farms and printing farms, one book will be possible for everyone to use in the future.

According to the regulations issued by Lu Bu, these primary school students and middle school students returned home after class and reported to their parents what they had learned for a day. Such forced regulations have caused the literacy rate under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou, Jizhou to rise rapidly.

Once the poor people, especially the tenant farmers and slaves, once they learned to read, read, and broadened their horizons, they quickly realized how miserable they were in the rule of aristocratic families. They began to be unwilling to be ravaged, trampled, exploited, and resisted the rule of aristocratic families. The flames of resisting the rule of aristocratic families were already burning in their hearts.

When they saw the crimes of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others, they all passed on the scandals of these aristocratic ministers from word of mouth. Since ancient times, they have been doing good things without going out for a thousand miles. The reputation of Yang Biao and others began to turn sharply when Lu Bu issued a crime to the whole world.

Lu Bu strictly controlled the paper farm and printing yard in the hands of the Central Army, and established the paper farm and printing yard as a military priority.

Some ministers of the aristocratic families who were classified as evil by Lu Bu wanted to ask Lu Bu for secret recipes for papermaking and printing. Lu Bu sneered and refused: "Don't you already have books? It's unnecessary to ask for those things. Those things are for the grass and untouchables below."

Some evil families sent people to study secretly, but were discovered by the Central Army soldiers and executed on the spot. The craftsmen in the papermaking and printing yard were strictly controlled in the workshop, and the abacus of the families who tried to kidnap craftsmen were also wrong.

Of course, Lu Bu knew that this was not a big invention, and hiding it was not conducive to the dissemination of cultural education. He just wanted to establish the awareness of intellectual property rights. When some wise families came with real money, Lu Bu offered them a price. They could learn papermaking and printing, but when they opened papermaking farms, the profits of the printing farms were divided by half to Lu Bu.

Those aristocratic families were all wise and kind families who were determined to seek wealth and were unwilling to confront Lu Bu because of the prejudice of the aristocratic family. They calculated and gave Lu Bu half of them, and they still made money wildly. There were 50 million people in the entire Han Dynasty. As some practices of Lu Bu's universal education system were used within the sphere of influence of other princes in the Han Dynasty, more and more people would read. Print some books to sell, and they would definitely make a lot of money. They saw the prospect of this financial path and resolutely signed a cooperation agreement with Lu Bu. The agreement was stamped with the seals of both parties. If they breached the contract, Lu Bu had the right to send troops to copy their homes directly.

Lu Bu knew very well that the foundation of the rule of aristocratic families was that they were literate and monopolized their career through monopoly on culture and education. Other grassroots people were illiterate and blinded by these grassroots families for generations. But once other grassroots people knew how to read, breaking the monopoly of these grassroots families on education and culture, there would be no monopoly on the career of aristocratic families.

All aristocratic families can realize this sooner or later. On the road to unification in the future, most aristocratic families will definitely be stubborn and will never want to withdraw from their monopoly on cultural education. They will definitely stand opposite Lu Bu.

Lu Bu finally realized that winning over poor and common people against aristocratic families is not the ultimate killing weapon to deal with aristocratic families. Improving papermaking techniques, inventing printing techniques, and universal education, and mobilizing all the great men and people outside the aristocratic families is the ultimate killing weapon to curb aristocratic families.

There are some wise aristocratic families who have long seen this. They don’t care, because their family traditions do not steal high positions by relying on monopoly on cultural education. For example, the Wenxi Pei family is like this. Pei Mao, the new Minister of Personnel, strongly supported Lu Bu’s policies. He felt that Lu Bu’s talent and virtue were not valued in family background, which could make the Pei family, which had a strict family style, come to prominence. The aristocratic family will still have them in the future, but it is not a monopoly on cultural education career, but its own family style. Pei Mao discussed this issue with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu deeply agreed.

What Lu Bu wants to eliminate now are those evil families with corrupt family traditions, who do not cultivate private morality but have delusions for generations. The Yuan family in Runan is a typical example, and this time most of the families involved in the rebellion in Jizhou are like this.

Two days later, Wu Xian's sister Wu Xia came to Lu Bu and said that her safety period had passed and she was suitable for that thing. (To be continued. To be continued.
