Regarding the Thousand-Character Classic, Liu Jian sent the book to Luoyang City for Dong Zhuo to read, in fact, just so that Dong Zhuo could ask him for it.
The relationship between Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo is delicate. He needs something to bind Dong Zhuo, and uses some of his article resources in exchange for the political resources Dong Zhuo gives...
Moreover, as soon as the paper book was born, Liu Jian, as the mastermind, would inevitably focus the anger and hatred of most of the prominent families.
Therefore, he needs someone to help him share this anger.
And Dong Zhuo, the leader of Liangzhou, would not only not gain the respect of the nobles if he published a thousand-character essay, but he would also be criticized and he would share the anger of the noble families for Liu Jian.
It's a good plan to divert disaster to the east.
And to put it bluntly, if Liu Jian wanted to, he had a hundred ways to get the copyright of Thousand Character Classic back and put it on his own head.
No matter how you think about this transaction, it is appropriate.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Jian no longer needs this false reputation. He is already a famous celebrity in the world. One or two articles have almost zero impact on him. Now he needs something else.
People's hearts change people's hearts. He always wants things from Dong Zhuo, so he has to give something in return to Dong Zhuo, right?
…
After meeting with Dong Zhuo and receiving permission, Tian Feng came to Yuan Ji's residence to pay his respects.
Now Yuan Ji has lost his former glory.
He had held this position for less than a year before he was demoted by Dong Zhuo. To be honest, Yuan Ji felt very unwilling.
But now the situation was gradually out of his control. Dong Zhuo used force to control the court, and at the same time strictly controlled the whereabouts of these court officials and ministers. With Yuan Ji's identity, if he wanted to sneak out of Luoyang secretly, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
In the entire Luoyang City, the four people most targeted by Dong Zhuo were the emperor, the queen mother, Yuan Wei, and Yuan Ji.
However, fortunately, his only son had been sent out of Luoyang by Jushu, and Yuan Ji's wish was finally fulfilled.
When he saw Tian Feng, Yuan Ji immediately asked him about his children.
Tian Feng respectfully bowed to Yuan Ji and said: "Your Majesty, your beloved son has now been fostered in Liu Jizhou's mansion, and is being raised by his wife personally, and treated like his own son. Liu Jizhou has asked Feng to go to Luoyang this time.
The most important task is to inform the king of this matter."
When Yuan Ji heard this, a layer of mist of tears appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
However, he quickly realized his gaffe and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe it gently, while Tian Feng turned his head knowingly and looked to the side as if he had disappeared.
Later, he saw Yuan Ji turning his head, looking at Tian Feng, and sighed: "I'd like to tell Deran that I would like to take good care of my son because of my old friendship."
Tian Feng said: "Don't worry, sir. I will bring you whatever you say."
"Liu Jizhou asked me to ask the prince if there is anything else that needs to be done. He is in Hebei, so I can't deny it."
Yuan Ji shook his head and said: "Since my son has been entrusted to Deran, I have nothing to worry about anymore."
Later, he saw Yuan Ji picking up the water on the table, taking a sip, and then said: "It's just that I have been in Luoyang for a long time and have been under surveillance. I no longer know what the scene is like outside. Please tell me in detail, Mr. Yuan Hao."
Tell me, how is the current situation in the world?"
While stroking his beard, Tian Feng slowly explained the current situation of the world to Yuan Ji.
From Liu Jian, he talked about Liu Yu, then from Liu Yu to Tao Qian, and then talked about some rumors from people in Luoyang City in other counties, and finally brought the topic to Jingzhou in the south.
"Now I am ordering my younger brother Yuan Shao to gather a crowd at Huairu in Nanyang. He is a tolerant and tolerant man who is loved by the world. He speaks out when faced with danger. His wisdom and courage are superior to others. He is truly a hero of the moment!"
Tian Feng's words were actually praising Yuan Shao, but for some reason, when Yuan Ji heard these words, his heart felt as painful as a knife cutting acupuncture.
When he thought that he, as the head of the Yuan family, was now trapped in Luoyang by Dong Zhuo, while Benchu was sitting in Jingzhou, dominating one side, and was also supported by personnel from the Yuan family's Ruying land, his majesty was unparalleled... Yuan Ji This heart seems to be bleeding.
"I didn't expect that Benchu would be so dedicated to protecting the people of this place. I feel so at ease." Yuan Ji praised dryly.
Tian Feng secretly looked at Yuan Ji a few times, and saw that when he said this, although he was complimenting him, his smile was stiff and his tone was flat, which was obviously against his will, so he knew better.
He held up his hands to Yuan Ji and said: "Previously, Yuan Shijun sent someone from Jingzhou to Hebei to deliver a secret message to Lu Gong. The secrets contained in it must not be disclosed to outsiders. Do you want to hear it?"
At this moment, the two of them were in the same hall with no one around, so Yuan Ji naturally wanted to listen.
He was a little confused. Yuan Shao didn't consolidate Jingzhou and Ruying at this time, so why did he send people to Jizhou to deliver a message to Lu Zhi?
"Would you like to hear the details?"
Tian Feng looked around, then took a deep breath and said, "I only listened to Lu Gong's narration of the content. There may be some discrepancies. I hope you don't blame me."
"It's okay, sir, please speak."
Tian Feng cleared his throat, and then recited slowly and calmly: "Today, the traitors and ministers are causing chaos, the court is in trouble, and there is no general to control it. I observe Zhuo's words and deeds, ignore the superiors and be rude, and then be domineering for many years. Zhuo has been appointed without merit and despises the affairs of the state. I rebelled against arrogance and self-arrogance, overthrew the royal family, and defied the will of nature. I have been favored in the past, and I am determined to do my best to revive the Han Dynasty. However, if Qi Huan is not a barbarian, I cannot become a hegemon, and if Gou Jian is not Fan Li, I cannot survive the country. Now I want to work hard with Lu Gong If we work together to secure the country and defeat the Dong traitors, if we do not suppress the three tribes and make the county look upon the whole world, then I will die with my eyes in peace..."
When Tian Feng said this, Yuan Ji was already covered in cold sweat.
He is not a fool, so he naturally understands the purpose of Yuan Shao's letter to Lu Zhi.
This made it clear that he wanted to directly confront Dong Zhuo.
In fact, from the perspective of the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo, if they really break up, it's just a breakup, and it's not a big deal.
The question is, if you really want to break up with Dong Zhuo and decide the outcome head-on on the battlefield, should you first consider what kind of situation your uncle and your brother are currently in?
You and Dong Zhuo faced each other head-on on the battlefield, and you felt happy, vented your anger, and looked heroic.
The question is, who will suffer in Luoyang City?
You will kill people if you do this. Do you know that?
Yuan Ji was only angry at first, but as he gradually calmed down, a chill began to fill his heart.
How could Yuan Shao not think of things he could think of?
After all, this matter concerns him, the head of the Yuan family and the previous generation's father-in-law. Yuan Shaofan would definitely not make such a decision easily if he thought about it carefully.
Think about it again, Yuan Shao is now in Nanyang, winning the hearts and minds of the Yuan family clan's stronghold, and his strength is unprecedented. Yuan Shao now controls more resources than he, the head of the family.
A person's ambition changes with the resources he has at his disposal.
When people are hungry, all they think about is to satisfy their hunger, but when they can achieve a prosperous life, they will pursue the satisfaction of spiritual needs.
A person who is on the verge of starvation will never aspire to become a great writer. On the contrary, a person who is relatively satisfied both materially and spiritually will not think about a meal day and night.
Yuan Shao is now at a special stage, and the resources he now has have spurred his ambition to burst forth.
Yuan Ji really didn't want to think too badly of his brother, but what happened in front of him couldn't stop him from thinking this way.
"Mr. Tian, Yuan has something to trouble me with."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Tian Feng stood up in a hurry: "I wonder what your orders are? Tian must do his best!"
A somewhat sad smile appeared on Yuan Ji's face.
"I want to write a letter and ask you to help me get him out of the capital."
…………
In the spring of the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo established the Publishing and Printing Office in Luoyang, which was responsible for supervising paper publications throughout the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, he also started to establish publishing laws according to Liu Jian's proposal.
He classified paper books as official publications, and the publication and printing of all paper publications must be supervised and published by the authority authorized by the Publication Administration of the Han Dynasty.
In other words, all paper publications will be under the official coordination, and private printing is not allowed.
At present, the only capable and qualified printing and publishing institution in the entire Han Dynasty is Qingzhou Bookstore.
Next, the Thousand-Character Text and the Xiping Stone Classic's Corrected Edition will become the first batch of publications, which will be collated and printed at the Qingzhou Bookstore, and at the same time, sold at the official business pilot in Luoyang City.
Although the cost of paper is high, this new type of writing carrier that is light, easy to carry and very eye-catching has been highly sought after by imperial students, nobles, poor families, and common people as soon as it was sold in Luoyang.
Thousands of newly printed books were sold out in an instant.
And what is recorded in these books are only the Zhengding scriptures of the Xiping Book of Songs.
Anyone who wants to transcribe can do it for free at any time.
To put it bluntly, it is a pure public edition book.
But even so, not one of these paper books is left.
For a time, paper books became popular throughout Sili.
And those who rushed to buy paper books, after taking them back to other states and counties, were able to double the number of books sold to foreign gentry and scholars.
Paper books in Qingzhou turned out to be hard currency among the nobles, and their prices doubled.
Its collection value is now far higher than its reading value, which Liu Jian did not expect at the beginning.
Qingzhou books were sold to Luoyang, and Liu Jian asked Dong Zhuo for money at six times the cost of production and transportation.
After Dong Zhuo got these books, he sold them at an increase of 40%.
That is to say, a book that cost one yuan ended up being sold for ten yuan.
Of the ten coins, Liu Jian took six and Dong Zhuo four.
Not only that, the publication of the Thousand-Character Classic also made Dong Zhuo famous.
Dong Zhuo requested that the Thousand-Character Inscription be used as an elementary education material in Sili and other villages and counties in Guanzhong to replace first aid medals and be piloted first.
The literati of the Han Dynasty were not fools. Throughout the entire Han Dynasty, nothing could replace the knowledge and foundation contained in the Thousand-Character Essay, including the philosophy of the stories told in it, and its acceptance by children.
If this thousand-character text was written by a great scholar of the time, then forget it.
But he was created by Dong Zhuo, the Liangzhou barbarian who was most despised by all the Guandong gentry in the world.
It is certain that he did not write it, but he did publish it in the world.
Although this thousand-character article is good, it is just a slap in the face of the Guandong family.
It makes a loud sound when you smoke it.
Based on this book, who dares to say that Dong Zhuo is not a famous scholar? Even if it was not written by him, people have a sharp eye for reading. This alone gave Dong Zhuo his literary name.
Who dares to say that he is just a Liangzhou tiger wolf who doesn't understand etiquette and doesn't know how to write?
Dong Zhuo was very proud. He never thought that one day he would be famous for his literary fame instead of his military strategy.
Ever since the Qian Zi Wen interview, Dong Zhuo has been feeling a little hairy every day when he walks down the aisle.
I don’t blame him for being Piao, who wouldn’t be happy with this matter?
It is a pity that Dong Zhuo's good times have come to an end.
Yuan Shao finally began to organize various governors and governors to launch a crusade against Dong Zhuo.
They raised the banner of attacking the national traitors and supporting the Han Dynasty. They all gathered together in Jujube to form an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo.
Among those who made the crusade were Yuan Shao, the pastor of Northern Jingzhou, Yuan Shu, the pastor of Northern Yangzhou, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, Liu Dai, the new governor of Yanzhou, Yuan Yi, the pastor of northern Yizhou, Han Fu, the new governor of Youzhou, and Zhang, the governor of Chenliu.
Miao, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Bao Xin, the new prime minister of Jibei, Qiao Mao, the new governor of Dongjun, etc.
Even if Dong Zhuo's current behavior is different from that in history, even if he now supports the Han Dynasty...
However, the fundamental conflict between him and the Kanto clan was not resolved, so the war against him still broke out.
