After hearing what Xu Shu said, everyone present seemed a little silent for a moment.
After all, what he said had a great impact on many people here.
After a while, someone looked at Xu Shu and spoke.
Seems bad.
"Xu Yuanzhi, you made a dog for Thief Liu, and your words are so nice!
He can wash anything!
This is indeed you Xu Yuanzhi!
You have said so much, and many of them are lies.
You think I can't see it?
Do you still feel that everyone present is a fool and they don’t know that many of what you say are lies?
It's full of loopholes, there are flaws everywhere, but you still have the nerve to speak so confidently!
It’s really ridiculous!
He met Liu Cheng, became a dog, and even came to us to bewitch us. He was really shameless!
You are also a talent for being able to describe betrayal in such a fresh and refined way!
You said being loyal to the Han means doing things for the Han. I think you sold Duke Zhu off after you arrived there and saw that Liu Cheng was powerful.
Use Zhu Gong to seek your own glory and wealth!
At this time, he actually still has the nerve to speak plausibly to us, saying this and that.
Do you think we are all fools?"
This is a local scholar from Jingzhou.
This person himself came from a wealthy family in Jingzhou.
Nowadays, all the things Liu Cheng has done make me feel frightened and uneasy.
When I heard Xu Shu praising Liu Cheng here, I couldn't bear it.
He fired directly at Xu Shu.
These words are very unkind.
Xu Shu looked at this man, his expression unchanged.
"I, Xu Shu, do things with a clear conscience. I only do things for the big man and don't have too much selfishness of my own.
It's not like some people who have thousands of hectares of land at home and use various means to plunder it.
They invade other people's land, bully men and women, and take many rights into their own hands.
After a year or two, use a little bit of the property gained through various banditry activities to build roads and bridges.
In times of famine, set up a pot and get some rice to make porridge.
In a sudden change, he became a great philanthropist...
Generally don't think I don't know about some of the dirty hookups you guys do!
What you have in mind is how to preserve the wealth of your family.
How can we allow you and your children to continue to live like this!
You enslave many people to support your family!
So at this time, it was natural to throw all kinds of dirty water and slander at Uncle Liu Huang.
Do you think that everyone in the world is as short-sighted as you?"
Xu Shu said that this person blushed and had a thick neck.
However, he was very dissatisfied.
He looked at Xu Shu and said, "Let's not talk about the size of my family's land.
What you said Liu Cheng did is full of flaws."
Xu Shu said: "Then tell me, let me see what the flaw you mentioned is.
It makes you feel so confident."
Hearing this, the man said with a mocking look on his face: "I won't tell you anything else. I'll just say that the Liu thief vigorously promoted education in Guanzhong and built many schools so that the children of ordinary people can study.
And it doesn’t cost anything.
These words were said by you, yes or no?"
Xu Shu nodded and said, "That's true, that's what I said.
Now it is being implemented in Guanzhong and will soon come to Yizhou and other places.
In time, the whole world will be like this.
This thing will help open up people's wisdom, and it will naturally be excellent for all people in the world.
And it can also cultivate Liu Huangshu's own talents.
It is precisely because of this that those aristocratic families and some self-righteous people who want to show off are nothing to the emperor's uncle.
After all, Uncle Liu was able to break the aristocratic family’s monopoly on learning through this move!
It's like digging up the roots of aristocratic families!
That's why some people are anxious and jumpy, wanting to oppose Uncle Liu Huang at all costs!
Because after this thing is implemented, there will be many people who want to rely on the knowledge they have to pass down their families, so that their families can continue for a long time, just lie there and enjoy all kinds of things.
The idea of benefiting people has come to nothing.
This is like hitting them seven inches in the face, so it makes them anxious and angry!"
Hearing what Xu Shu said, the man shook his head.
I didn't argue much with Xu Shu about this.
"I can only say this to prove that what you said is not a lie.
You said Liu Cheng wants to promote this to the whole world, then let me ask you.
Everyone here is a scholar, and they all have a clear understanding of bamboo slips, pen and ink, and books.
Knowing that these things are extremely difficult to make.
It also costs a lot.
I just ask you, if Liu Cheng wants to do such a big thing, where do these many books come from?
How did he have the ability to produce so many books?
Without so many books, how can we allow many farm children to study?
Isn’t this just lies and empty talk?
Isn’t it just sensationalism?”
As he said this, he puffed up his chest and looked at Xu Shu, his face full of sarcasm.
"I've already told you that you, Xu Yuanzhi, are just bragging here and have become Liu Cheng's lackey, and you still don't accept it.
What now?
I just need to find something from here to make you speechless!
Could you please tell me where these books came from?"
He looked at Xu Shu with a mocking look on his face.
The whole person looked like he was winning.
Hearing what he said, some people present also reacted.
Looking at Xu Shu, waiting for Xu Shu's explanation.
They are all readers, so they naturally know how difficult it is to make books.
Not to mention where Liu Cheng found so many teachers.
Let’s just talk about how Liu Cheng was able to have so many books for students to study.
This alone is a huge problem.
Moreover, this kind of learning is not a very economical thing.
The pen and ink used in learning, as well as bamboo slips and wooden slips.
For these ordinary poor families, it is a big burden.
It’s just that Liu Cheng doesn’t charge tuition fees. This alone can deter many people.
Not to mention that many people are short-sighted.
You will only see the petty profit in front of you.
Many of them feel that going to school is useless.
They think it's a waste of time and money.
It would be better to let their children do more work.
Looking at the faces of these people in front of him, Xu Shu showed some intriguing smiles on his face.
He shook his head, feeling that these people were really like frogs.
Judge some things based on their own inherent knowledge.
It’s really ridiculous!
He took a box from the side, opened it, and took out some paper books.
"Take it and take a look at it for yourself. After you understand this, you will know whether what I said is true or not.
Don't think that if you can't do something, then others can't do it.
You must know that there are people outside of this world, and there is heaven outside of heaven.
There are many things that you think are impossible, but for others, they are simply easy and can be solved at will."
After hearing what Xu Shu said, the person he had argued with before took the book from Xu Shu's hand.
He was not convinced and wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Shu's gourd.
How to prove that some of what he said is true through such a book.
There are still many books today, all made of bamboo slips and wooden slips.
There are also some paper books.
But not too much.
He reached out and opened it to take a look.
I found that the quality of this book is pretty good.
The handwriting is clear and neat, and it looks like it was written by some famous artist.
The writing is pretty good.
After reading this for a while, he found that what you recorded above was something he had never seen before.
Although I have never seen it, I can instantly understand the meaning contained in it.
After all, this thing seems very easy to understand.
He took these books and looked through them back and forth.
I found that the contents of these books are the same.
After looking over and over for a while, I still couldn't find any clues from it.
I didn’t understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Shu’s gourd.
How can he prove that what he said is true through some books like this?
After looking over and over for a while, I still didn't have the slightest clue.
It was also at this time that a man who had been quiet and looked relatively leisurely reading books came over.
This person is not very old and is also a young man.
Although he is a young man, he has an indescribable calmness.
There is also something leisurely and indifferent that does not belong to his age.
This person is none other than Zhuge Liang.
"Brother Liu, can I have a look?"
After hearing this, the man handed these books to Zhuge Liang.
Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are still very familiar with each other.
It was only at this time that Xu Shu came here.
Some of the things he brought were not taken out for viewing by Zhuge Liang, Cui Zhouping and other familiar people.
After Zhuge Liang took it, he held it in his hand and looked through it.
I can finish a book quickly.
Then move on to the next book.
It didn't take long before I finished reading all these books.
He frowned slightly, and for a moment he didn't see any clues from this.
However, his brows only furrowed slightly for a moment.
After a moment, his slightly frowned brows relaxed.
At the same time, the face that had always looked calm and calm now actually looked more shocked.
Very surprised.
He looked at Xu Shu and said: "Brother Yuanzhi, is this what you brought out from Guanzhong?
Is this the book that Liu Cheng has prepared to teach his students?"
Xu Shu nodded and said, "That's true."
Zhuge Liang asked: "Then...how was this book made?"
Seeing this, Xu Shu understood that Zhuge Liang, an extremely smart man, had already discovered the difference in this book just a moment ago.
Aware of the most critical point.
Just as he was about to speak, the scholar next to him, who had been looking at him for a long time but had no idea what he was doing, frowned and spoke.
"Kong Ming, what do you mean by what you are saying now?
This book is just a little more well-made.
Although at this time, there were not too many books made of paper.
But it's nothing unusual.
Why did you react like this after seeing me?"
Zhuge Liang heard this and returned the books to him.
"The quality of these books is indeed good, but actually this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the contents and every place in these books are exactly the same!
The handwriting of the words in the same position in each book is exactly the same, without any deviation.
The line spacing doesn't make any difference.
They look exactly the same!"
After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, the man was stunned and realized the problem.
I quickly opened the book and compared it.
Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang said, the several books are all exactly the same!
After discovering this, everyone present seemed surprised.
They are all people who know these things very well.
I am no stranger to pens, ink and books.
I also often copy some things.
Naturally, I know that even if one person writes it, no matter how serious he writes, it will never be enough to ensure that everything is exactly the same!
No matter how serious you are, it is absolutely impossible!
But now, these books are exactly the same!
When Xu Shu saw everyone, he had noticed the wonderfulness of this book and immediately spoke.
"This is what I said, some confidence.
This is also Liu Huangshu’s confidence and strength in Daxing Education!
These books are not copied by hand as you and I imagine.
It was made through the art of engraving and printing!
Using engraving techniques to make books is extremely fast.
Just carve out the articles that need to be disseminated on a large scale..."
Xu Shu was here immediately and introduced engraving printing and some things he knew about Guanzhong.
Regarding engraving and printing, Liu Cheng did not allow him to speak outside.
After all, engraving printing is not just about one idea.
There are a series of difficulties that need to be overcome.
For example, paper and printing ink are very particular.
Even if someone knows the art of engraving and printing, it is extremely difficult to imitate it.
And in the future, Liu Cheng will not hide the engraving and printing skills.
When necessary in the future, he will take the initiative to publicize the art of printing.
Promote it throughout the world.
In this way, the cost of making books can be reduced.
At this time, if someone can understand it from a few words, that would be very good for Liu Cheng.
After all, his goals are long-term and he does not just consider the interests of one family.
Instead, it focuses on the entire Han Dynasty.
Even if someone can know about it or imitate it, there will be no loss for him.
On the contrary, he will also make contributions to the Han Dynasty.
After hearing Xu Shu narrate these things, everyone present seemed to be in a daze.
Obviously, they were confused by these things that they had never thought about...
