Chapter 587 The advent of books and paper

In fact, Jin Yao did not plan to teach official script at first, but Xiaozhuan. After all, after the unification of Qin, Xiaozhuan was used.

However, because Xiaozhuan has to be written on bamboo slips, it is difficult to make it straight when compiling it. He has already handed over the improvement method of papermaking to the Mohists, and Fu Nian already knows that soon, paper will also come out and scattered.

Enter the homes of ordinary people.

Then the official script will come into being sooner or later, so it is better to organize it yourself to avoid letting those Confucian scholars mess around.

The advent of official script quickly spread throughout the world, and countless great Confucian scholars and scholars, either waiting to praise or criticize, or wanting to trample on them, came in droves.

"Long Jun did it on purpose!" Wu Rui and Chen Xian looked at the scholars in the city. These are what Dragon City lacks most now!

"I said no, do you believe it?" Jin Yao really never thought of using this method to attract scholars and great scholars from all over the world.

However, the result is that because of the advent of official script, these scholars and scholars still came.

"Put it down horizontally and vertically... How many people can write like this!" A great scholar shook his head. Even the calligraphers recognized by the world today would find it difficult to write every stroke and every stroke on the bamboo slips.

So straight and fair.

"Then what if it is written on this?" Jin Yao took out the paper produced by the Mohist family and swiped ink on it, and the neat words appeared directly on the paper.

"Paper, a piece of paper like this is worth as much as gold, how many people can afford it!" The scholar still shook his head, not thinking that this kind of writing could be promoted.

Jin Yao smiled.

Soon, Mohism and Confucianism reached an ulterior agreement, and pens, ink, paper, and inkstones also came out, changing the way China recorded words.

However, a bigger storm also came.

"Knowledge can only be in our hands!" The Confucians were also very quarrelsome. Reading and practicing calligraphy were their privileges, and also the privileges of the nobility.

But when paper becomes popular, their privilege will also fly into thousands of households.

"What's the use of arguing with me? If you have the ability, go find the Mohist family!" Fu Nian rolled his eyes and said indifferently, looking at the heads of the Confucian families who rarely saw each other.

The paper was produced by Mohism, but the classics were produced by Confucianism.

It's just that Fu Nian directly used his strengths to avoid weaknesses, and the concept of "Mohu" became all the work of the Mo family. If you have the ability, go to the Mo family!

When the great Confucian scholars heard Fu Nian's words, they left angrily.

"They won't really go to the Mo family's main courtyard, right?" Yan Lu looked curiously at the Confucian people who were leaving.

"Then they will basically die in the gate city!" Xunzi said calmly.

This time he followed Fu Nian and saw how terrifying the Mo family was today.

Although the number of Mo Xia disciples is small, the problem is that almost none of these Mo Xia disciples are second-rate or lower.

Coupled with those machine beasts that appeared like a blowout, this group of people went there and they didn't know how they died.

Moreover, although the Mohists reformed, they changed the system, not their temper.

The Mohist family has always believed that if you can take action, don't talk nonsense. Do these people really think that the Mohist family will reason with them?

"The most important thing is the attitude of Qin and other countries towards the emergence of paper!" Xunzi said with some worry.

If it was just the hundreds of families and nobles who objected, the Mohist family would not pay attention at all, and these people alone would not be able to restrict the Mohist family.

The only thing they have to worry about is that these people encourage the country to step in and ask the King of Qin to step in and ban the Mohists from popularizing books and paper.

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng had just defeated some aristocratic forces from aristocratic families, but he did not expect that the Mo family suddenly came with such a move, which directly hit him and he was unable to defend himself.

Memorials requesting Qin to ban the circulation of books and papers have already filled the Qinian Palace.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Ying Zheng still wanted to ask Lu Buwei's opinion out of habit.

Similarly, Meng Yi, Zhang Han and other close associates of Ying Zheng were also present.

"Does the king want peace now or peace after unification?" Lu Buwei asked.

"Nature is the future!" Ying Zheng replied directly.

"Then I have to ask your Majesty, if the Qin State unifies the world in the future, will the appointment of officials and the management of each region be managed by nobles from aristocratic families, or will they be promoted from civilians?" Lu Buwei asked again.

Ying Zheng understood instantly!

Even if Qin can conquer other countries by force, what will happen next?

How to manage various countries still requires the management of the old power aristocrats, and the hidden dangers this brings are foreseeable.

When I was still alive, probably no one would dare to rebel.

But once he passes away and the new king has a weaker character, rebellions will spring up everywhere.

The emergence of paper and books has also effectively solved this problem.

Because paper and books have become cheaper, ordinary people also have the opportunity to study. When the time comes, he can open a school in Xianyang, select officials from among the civilians and appoint them to various places, thus eliminating the situation where nobles control various places.

.

"So, not only can your Majesty not prohibit it, but you should even encourage it!" Lu Buwei said calmly.

The paper and books appeared at the right time. The Qin State has not spared its hands to deal with the princes, but it cannot make it easy for them during this period.

If paper books are scattered to thousands of households, then the princes will have a headache, especially in a country like Chu where the nobility has a high degree of autonomy.

Once people's minds are enlightened by books, will they still be willing to be ruled by aristocrats?

There is only one Jiujiang Dragon King, but when books and paper become more common, there may be more than one!

"I understand!" Ying Zheng saluted respectfully, and then ordered people to throw away all the memorials and burn them, indicating his attitude.

"I wonder what Xiangbang is doing now?" Ying Zheng was more curious about what Lu Buwei was doing now.

After he took charge, Lu Buwei lived in seclusion, slowly handed over the power to himself, and then wrote books at home.

"Writing books, establishing narratives, and learning writing!" Lu Buwei did not hide it. He knew that Ying Zheng controlled Luo Sheng and the newly established Shadow Secret Guard, and his every move was under the surveillance of these two agencies.

"Learning writing?" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, Jiujiang Longjun is indeed a great talent. He created a brand-new writing style that is more suitable for paper books, so now I am learning this new writing style!" Lu Buwei said with emotion.

For this reason, he suppressed Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, which were already ready to be released, and demanded that they all be written in official script!

Ying Zheng was even more surprised. He didn't pay attention to these things. Then he looked at an official script written on the ground by Lu Buwei and carefully identified the words on it. He could roughly recognize a lot of it.

After all, official script evolved from Xiaozhuan, so it is not difficult to identify it.
