Chapter 440: Don't feel bad about reading your own biography

Views:

It wasn't long before the sky outside, but there was a meeting this morning, and a group of people arrived at the meeting room of the General's Mansion early. Everyone comes in and finds a book on their desk. First he sat down in doubt, and then flipped through the book with great interest.

"This is, an article from Shiji?" Cao Hong was sitting at a table. He was supposed to be in Yanzhou, but he happened to be back for business in the past few days, so he sat here. Along with him was a man named Cheng Yu people.

Sitting next to Cao Hong was an old man, about fifty years old, nearly sixty years old. However, his stature is tall and straight, but it gives people a feeling that he is no more than middle-aged. He is Cheng Yu who came with Cao Hong this time.

After Cao Cao pacified Yanzhou, he was put under Cao Cao's tent, but he was very popular. At this time, it can be said that he was in charge of most of Yanzhou's affairs.

Hearing Cao Hong's words, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Hong in surprise: "Oh, General Zilian also read it?"

Historical Records is different from other books. In the early years, it was regarded as deviant "slander book".

It was not until after the Eastern Han Dynasty that this book spread. Even so, the imperial court issued an edict to delete and supplement the historical records. It is rumored that more than 100,000 words have been deleted, which is really regrettable.

Cao Hong flipped through the book in his hand, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "When I was young, my family asked me to read some."

In other words, it would be more appropriate to change the word let into a forced word. Now that I think about it, those days are still unbearable. His ass hurts just reading this book.

"Hehe." Cheng Yu didn't know what Cao Hong was thinking, and looked at the book in his hand with emotion: "It was not easy when I wanted to read this book."

As he spoke, he opened the book in his hand, with surprise in his eyes: "It happens to be a passage I like very much."

"Biography of Bai Xiao." Cheng Yu's voice fell, and a person said: "Well, it is indeed the most special section in the historical records."

Cheng Yu looked back, it was a person who was about the same age as him, but the temperament of the two was completely different. If Cheng Yu's demeanor is upright, then the demeanor of the person in front of him is a bit cold.

He was thin, and the robes on his body were somewhat loose, and the wrinkles on his face were deep, making him look even older.

Looking at Cheng Yu, this person's eyes are lowered, and just being seen by him makes the air around him feel a little colder. Sheng felt that someone was staring at him, he lowered his head slightly, and said modestly.

"I'm here, Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe."

Although his deep voice is hard to make people feel humble.

Jia Wenhe, Cheng Yu mentioned this person's name, but Jia Xu followed Zhang Xiu to vote not long ago, so Cheng Yu has not met him yet.

Cheng Yu also saluted back: "Cheng Yu, the name is Zhongde."

After greeting each other, Jia Xu turned his attention to the book in his hand and stroked his beard.

"Sangjun Bai Xiao, this person can be said to be the only person in the historical records who does not know his name and origin. Even the name of this Bai Xiao was taken by later generations. It is rumored that this person was just Qin general Bai Qi on the road at the beginning. A child looking for food was picked up and brought home. Later, he was accepted as a disciple and passed on the mantle."

Cheng Yu also smiled slightly, and then said: "After Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Zhao Kingdom, he apologized with death. From then on, this person only wears mourning mourning, and even enters the battle wearing white clothes. Impressive."

Loyal and filial

After hearing this, Jia Xu shook his head and said.

"I think this person's admiration is not only about his loyalty and filial piety, but also his good military training. Lu Bu's soldiers were trapped in the camp, which was named after her subordinate Qin's forbidden army. The man who was dressed in white is also known as the mourning general. The Thousand-Character Prose written by her is still an indispensable textbook for elementary school, which shows the depth of her learning. And she will write the same text with Li Sixing in the future. , and various systems, all show that this person also has extraordinary means in government affairs. If it is not for bad luck, Qin State is far more than that, and this person should not die before Xianyang."

"Yeah." Cheng Yu sighed, holding the book in his hand, and smiled: "This is a thin volume of history, and how many things are in the past..."

Regardless of Jia Xu and Cheng Yu's lively conversation, Guo Jia and Xun Yu sat on the other side, looking at the books on the table. The handwriting on the pages of the book is neat, and even the same words in the front and back texts, there is no difference between strokes and strokes. This is not something that can be copied by human hands.

Both of them guessed a bit, what was going to be discussed in today's discussion.

Kong Rong also came here specially from Qingzhou today, with a smile on his face all the time, no one else knew what he was smiling at.

Gu Nan was the same as before, she always arrived just before the morning discussion. When the man dressed in white walked into the hall, both Jia Xu and Cheng Yu stopped.

Jia Xu looked deeply at the man in white. There are many advisers under Cao Cao's tent, and many of them are good at military affairs and government affairs. But he still felt that this person should be the most careful.

From the time Cao Cao was imprisoned in Hulao to chase the emperor to the time he entered Qingzhou, he had already begun to pay attention to this person. Even before he could react to the Qingzhou Rebellion, Cao Cao had already led the troops to set off. He didn't believe it was luck. Then it shows that under Cao Cao, there is a person who is very good at judging the situation and even predicting the situation.

Forecasting the current situation, these four words are not as easy to say as they are said.

Looking really young, Jia Xu glanced at the man up and down. I smiled secretly, it seems that I am really old.

Gu Nan felt staring at her all the time, turned around and saw Jia Xu who was sitting there, smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Jia Xu paused, and nodded slightly towards Gu Nan.

After Gu Nan was seated, she also saw the book on the table. She naturally knew the origin of the book. She heard that it was printed in a section of the Historical Records, and the original book was provided by Kong Rong.

Opening the book, the word Baixiao came into view. Gu Nan looked at it silently, and the memory that was already as calm as the ancient well had some ripples again.

Not long after, Cao Cao also arrived, holding a book like everyone else's in his hand.

"Have you all read the book in your hand?" Cao Cao sat down and asked with a smile.

Everyone in the audience should be, Cao Cao said again: "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Now the people in the hall were puzzled, the book in their hands was the same as an ordinary book, what would be different

Jia Xu also looked at the book in his hand in a daze, then he noticed something, and looked at Cheng Yu's book beside him.

Almost at the same time, Cheng Yu also looked at the book in his hand.

The two of them spread out the book, only to find that the handwriting on the book in their hands was exactly the same.

Cao Cao flipped through his book and said with a faint smile.

"This is the method of movable type printing jointly researched by Mr. Gu and Mr. Kong. Individual characters are carved and arranged to form a book, and then rubbed with ink on paper to form a book. With this method of printing books, one workshop can produce nearly a thousand books in a month. .”

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the four seats changed, each of them was different, and everyone understood what it meant. Some people looked excited, while others were frowning.

If there is such a method, calligraphy will be widely disseminated, and by then it will no longer be so hard to find.

The same is true for Jia Xu, but he didn't show his expression, he just held the book silently and looked at the man in white who smiled and nodded at him just now.

······

When the discussion was over, Kong Rong and Gu Nan walked out of the General's Mansion together. Kong Rong smiled and said while standing beside Gu Nan with his hands behind his back.

"This first step has been completed, and the future can be expected."

With some relief in letting go of the burden in his tone, he said again as if talking to himself: "The future can be expected."

Gu Nan smiled and said nothing, she knew it would not be that easy, but now is not the time to say these things. The two walked out the door, only to find more than ten people standing outside the door.

They are all counselors under Cao Cao's account. Cao Cao promotes meritocracy, and many people under his account are of civilian origin.

A person held the book in his hand and folded his hands in front of him. When he saw Kong Rong and Gu Nan coming out, he bowed down with reddish eyes.

They have all had nowhere to go to school, and they have all had difficulty finding a book. The book in their hands allowed them to see a future life that was completely different from the present.

A posterity worthy of their service.

"Let me wait, on behalf of the commoner under heaven, thank you two gentlemen."

The dozen or so people behind him also bent down.

"Thank you two gentlemen!"

Guo Jia walked behind and stood in front of the General's Mansion, looking at Gu Nan outside with an inexplicable expression.

The person outside the door really doesn't look like a person in the world. Whether it's her or what she's doing.
