The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 108 I am Guan Yu, but I read Spring and Autumn!

Xi Yu didn't know how long the political situation in the Sili area could last.

The return of the Han emperor to the east was an inevitable result.

After the locust plague, the entire Guanzhong area was almost devoid of crops.

Chang'an was full of disaster victims, and the barren bones were exposed in the wild. Under such a scene, Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was naturally no longer suitable for living.

What's more, Liu Xie still has a sense of belonging to Luo Yang after all.

The officials of the Han court naturally had some thoughts about the old capital Luoyang.

After talking with Cao Cao that day.

The whole late autumn passed away quietly, and the north wind gradually picked up in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the New Year's Eve.

In a few months, the land of Yanzhou was like the tone that Xi Yu had set before.

Xi Zhicai was in charge of building the Chidao without any delay.

The entire Chidao in Yanzhou rose from the ground in the midst of frantic construction.

With the newly established Chidao, the style and appearance of the whole Yanzhou seem to be more yearning for the people than before.

"Success!"

"Success!"

In the Xijia's house, when Xi Yu and Xi Zhicai were sitting opposite each other in front of the table, warming up the fire together, Dian Wei rushed in from outside in a hurry all the way excitedly.

This guy's tone was extremely excited, Xi Yu just heard the other party's voice, and he understood a little bit.

Xi Zhicai next to him was a little puzzled, and subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

"Ayu, what is Dianwei calling?"

"It's time for papermaking to succeed!"

During this period of time, Xi Yu has been asking Dian Wei to help him watch over how to improve papermaking techniques.

He told Ma San and other craftsmen all the process of papermaking.

Now that Dian Wei came back to report the news, no surprises, the papermaking technique was successful!

With the foundation of papermaking technology, the success of the improved papermaking technology is not beyond Xi Yu's expectations.

However, it took several months of hard work during this period.

"Papermaking?"

Xi Zhicai is naturally familiar with papermaking, which has already been made by someone.

It's just that the papermaking technique that my younger brother mentioned must be different from the previous ones.

Feeling a little doubtful in his heart, Dian Wei has already entered the back hall by this time.

"Sir, Ma San and the others have already made paper according to your idea!"

For things like paper, although Dian Wei doesn't know how great his role is.

But Luoyang paper is expensive, and paper is only something that upper-class people can use.

Now, Dian Wei is naturally a little happy to see Ma San and the others make it out of cotton and linen waste.

"Brother, let's go and see together?"

Xi Yu glanced at Xi Zhi, and then invited him to go with him to see the paper made by Ma San and others.

Hearing what Xi Yu said, Xi Zhi nodded decisively.

paper!

This is good stuff.

The three of them left the mansion and arrived at the papermaking workshop in Juancheng not long after.

After arriving, Xi Yu discovered that not only he knew the news, but also Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others followed.

This is papermaking!

Naturally, Cao Cao was also very concerned. Ever since he knew that Xi Yu had asked Ma San and others to tinker with papermaking, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation in his heart.

Xun Yu and the others beside him were naturally very concerned about things like paper.

If, as Xi Yu said, paper can be mass-produced.

Then he wouldn't have to face those bamboo slips all day long in the future.

Even with a large amount of paper, Yanzhou can even use it to do business with other states in Dahan.

Those aristocratic families also love paper very much.

If this thing can be exchanged for gold, silver, or even food, it will be of great benefit to the entire Yanzhou.

A group of people gathered outside the gate of the workshop in Juancheng.

At this time, the people headed by Ma San followed quickly.

"I have met the lord, I have met Mr. Fengyi, I have met Mr. Wen Ruo, I have met..."

The people in front of him were big figures for craftsmen like Ma San. After saluting to the crowd, Cao Cao hurriedly followed suit.

"Ma San, I heard that you made paper!"

Cao Cao was a little excited, and even couldn't wait to see the paper.

Xi Yu also patted Ma San on the shoulder.

"well done!"

"It's all due to Mr. Fengyi, I dare not take the credit!"

Ma San responded quickly.

What kind of papermaking skills do these ordinary craftsmen know!

If Mr. Xi Yuxi hadn't told them the process of making paper, they would never have imagined how to make paper in their entire lives.

Ma San has a very clear understanding of himself and others.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on the paper, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest.

It was very windy outside, after Ma San led Cao Cao and other people into the workshop.

Soon, a craftsman came over with a stack of blank paper.

"Paper, really is paper!"

With just one glance, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He had seen paper before. The thing in front of him was as thin as a cicada's wing, like silk.

It looks like paper.

It's just that the paper in front of him is whiter than the ones he keeps at home, and even just one glance makes people unable to look away.

Cao Cao was a little overjoyed.

Xun Yu next to him was already holding the paper in his hands, and he couldn't put it down, and the counselors behind him all had the same expression.

Xi Yu reached out and touched the paper in front of him.

It feels good in the hand, although there is still some distance from the blank paper of later generations, but Ma San and others can follow the procedure to achieve this step, which is already considered good.

You know, although he knows what the material of the paper is.

But the specific process is not very clear.

Ma San and others are able to make a blank sheet of paper, and the credit cannot be ignored.

"Brother, these craftsmen should be rewarded!"

Xi Yu said something to Cao Cao, who didn't hesitate at all when he heard this.

Cao Cao looked at Ma San and the others: "You all have meritorious service, I will remember it in my heart, and I will reward you later!"

After Cao Cao's words fell, the expressions of all the craftsmen were visibly excited.

You must know that in this era, the status of craftsmen is actually not much different from that of ordinary people.

What the states and counties ask these craftsmen to do is actually equivalent to working for nothing, and the remuneration is hardly very high.

However, these craftsmen are also talents that cannot be ignored.

The local area also has a protective effect on these people.

In troubled times, most of these craftsmen rarely face danger to their lives.

There are pros and cons!

"I don't know how much this thing cost?"

Xun Yu looked at the paper in his hand, and asked the most critical question after a long time.

The cost of this thing is not big!

If it is not much different from the previous papermaking technology, then the meaning of paper will not get the most benefit.

But if, as Xi Yu said, the cost is not so high that it can be mass-produced.

Then, the existence of these papers is the most beneficial thing for the world!
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao and the others looked at Ma San.

The latter also reacted.

"My lord, the cost materials of these papers are all as Mr. Xi said before!"

Ma San didn't say anything too specific, but Cao Cao and the others understood as soon as he spoke.

As Xi Yu said before.

That is, it can be mass-produced on a large scale, and the cost is not high.

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth couldn't help but raised a little bit, his mood was indescribably wonderful.

"Good good!"

After saying hello several times, Cao Cao subconsciously reached out and stroked his beard.

"Before the end of the new year, I have another happy event in Yanzhou. It's really gratifying!"

Cao Cao was in a good mood, and Xun Yu and others were in the same mood. With paper, many plans can be carried out.

"Ma San, you should hurry up and produce this thing!"

After exhorting Ma San, Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the crowd present.

"Regarding the material manufacturing of paper, etc., no one should spread the word!"

This thing has a great effect on Yanzhou, so Cao Cao naturally takes it very seriously.

After witnessing the paper, Xi Yu didn't stay too long.

After he took some papers from Ma San, he told the other party that the research on the papers could not be cancelled.

There are still many types of paper.

Seeing Xi Yu taking a bundle of papers from Ma San, everyone present felt a little moved.

Cao Cao then asked for a bundle, and followed Xun Yu without any courtesy.

None of the people present were polite in the slightest.

It's a bit like seeing someone has a share, and Cao Cao didn't stop it.

Some of the papers that had just been produced were divided in the blink of an eye.

Those who didn't get it couldn't help feeling a little sorry.

……

The northwest wind in winter is biting.

Seeing that the whole Yanzhou has become colder, and the year is approaching, the political affairs in the whole Yanzhou have also become a little less.

As winter came, Xi Yu did not continue to train in the supply camp as before.

He has completely handed over the current supply camp to Zhao Yun for training.

Zhao Yun is also conscientious and conscientious, he can be regarded as a standard model worker.

And at the same time.

Since Liu Bei and his party arrived in Juancheng with Cao Cao, they are now staying in Juancheng extremely securely.

Inside the temporary residence where Liu Bei lives.

Even though it was winter, Liu Bei was still busy at this time.

He didn't know when he had reclaimed some fertile land in the yard, and he had been dealing with things in the farmland during this time.

Although there is no way to grow any food in winter, Liu Bei got some strange seeds from nowhere.

In the entire field, many seedlings have grown.

"Brother, are you busy with your third field again?"

Zhang Fei, who had just returned from drinking outside the house, unconsciously glanced at Liu Bei.

Seeing Liu Bei squatting carefully in the field, he didn't know what to say.

Liu Bei looked up at Zhang Fei.

"Go out for drinks again?"

The jug Zhang Fei was carrying was too obvious, and there was nothing wrong with his third younger brother.

It's just that he likes to drink. He persuaded him about this, but it's only within the time limit.

Now, all three of their brothers are dependent on others.

Regarding the fact that Zhang Fei likes to drink every day, Liu Bei can be regarded as turning a blind eye.

However, counting the days, it will be almost half a year in the blink of an eye!
From Xuzhou to Yanzhou.

Liu Bei can be regarded as seeing the difference between the two states.

Today's Yanzhou is a thriving place, and this scene is all because of the existence of someone next to Cao Cao.

Whether it was the previous strategy of stationing the army, or living with the people.

Or, the locust plague can be easily dealt with afterwards.

Wait, you can't do without Xi Yu's figure.

Liu Bei was a little emotional, at this time, he suddenly heard the gatekeeper come in to report.

"My lord, Mr. Xi is visiting!"

"Mr. Play?"

Hearing the guard's announcement, Liu Bei was a little dazed, and Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him, also frowned.

Mr. Drama?
In Juancheng, there are only two Xiyu brothers who can be called like this.

Liu Bei knew that he was not very familiar with these two people.

Liu Bei was extremely surprised that the other party came looking for him now.

After the gatekeeper's voice fell, before Liu Bei could speak, a few figures walked in from outside the door.

Be the first, with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xuande, take the liberty to visit, and still look at Haihan!"

Xi Yu had a smile on his face, and Dian Wei, who followed behind him, walked like a tiger.

Zhang Fei unconsciously stood behind Liu Bei.

Seeing that it was Xi Yu, Liu Bei put a smile on his face and quickly got up to greet him.

"It's Mr. who came here, so Bei is being negligent!"

As soon as Xi Yu came in, his gaze had already fallen on the field Liu Bei was plowing, and he was sure of it with just one glance.

At this time, Liu Bei stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and Xi Yu also smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Xuande, you had a great stay in Juancheng!"

"That's right, Juancheng is worthy of being the seat of Mengde!"

"This time along the way, Bei has also seen various things in Juancheng. Compared with other states in Dahan, the whole Juancheng can let me see a bit of the grandeur of Dahan in the past!"

Liu Bei was a little emotional.

Xi Yu didn't say much when he heard this, he just asked casually.

At this time, he followed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei into the back hall of the residence.

As if he heard the movement, Guan Yu who was in the room followed him out.

Xi Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Guan Yu. When he saw that the other party was still holding a scroll of letters, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and that classic line came to mind again.

Seeing that it was Xi Yu, Guan Yu saluted very politely.

Xi Yu returned the gift.

Guan Yu still had a bit of arrogance, but Xi Yu felt that Guan Yu was obviously restrained in front of him.

"Sir, is there something important to visit?"

After everyone was seated, Liu Bei asked Xi Yu with great concern.

This question is a little cautious.

Xi Yu shook his head: "It's nothing important, I just heard about Mr. Xuande's personality, and I haven't had a chance to visit him before. Now that I'm free, I want to meet Mr. Xuande!"

"I have heard about Mr.'s deeds!"

Liu Bei laughed.

Xi Yu glanced at Dian Wei behind him. Without hesitation, the latter took out a large roll of white paper from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Xi Yu.

"Mr. Xuande, this is a blank piece of paper. There is no gift for this visit, so I will give it to Mr. Xuande!"

Xi Yu casually handed the white paper to Liu Bei.

The latter was a little dazed.

Liu Bei didn't know the news about papermaking, and seeing Xi Yu casually handing him a large roll of white paper, Liu Bei was startled.

Zhang Fei next to him seemed to have forgotten the jug in his hand, and his eyes fell on the white paper in an instant.

I can't even move it!

"This, this thing is so precious, I can't afford it!"

Liu Bei still knows how expensive paper is.

When he was studying with Lu Zhi, the great Confucian Lu Zhi didn't have much paper in his hands.

But right now, Xi Yu followed up with a volume, which was really extremely precious.

"I'll give it to you if I give it to you, I can't afford anything!"

"My husband made this thing himself, and now there are quite a few of them in Juancheng!"

Seeing Liu Bei's posture, Dian Wei couldn't help laughing.

Nowadays, almost everyone in Juancheng has a lot of paper.

Even Dianwei has some in his house.

It should be said that Dian Wei was a bit rare about paper before, but now he can't wait to give away all such things as white paper.

I don't know why, but my husband is now asking him to read and write.

In the past few days, his head is about to grow big!

Thinking of the experience of the past few days, Dian Wei's head ached.

When Liu Bei heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

There is a lot of paper in Juancheng?
Also, Xi Yu can make paper?

Liu Bei was a little confused, but Xi Yu didn't hide it. Although it was only a few days, there was indeed more paper in Juancheng.

The efficiency of Ma San and the others is not low. In just a few days, Juancheng's paper has also begun mass production.

Liu Bei didn't know, and it was only because the other party had been hiding in the house.

"Dian Wei is right. I made this thing artificial. It is not a rare item now. Lord Xuande can accept it!"

Said something to Liu Bei, who was obviously in a trance at this time.

"Mr. is really a great talent!"

When Liu Bei said this, his tone trembled a little.

Guan Yu on the side was also a little dazed looking at the paper.

At this moment, Liu Bei looked at Xi Yu again, and the solicitation in his heart was like a raging fire.

After ascending, he began to feel a little uncontrollable.

"Mr. is so talented, why..."

Liu Bei opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat after all.

There is still no way to say this right now.

Xi Yu knew what the other party wanted to say, so he didn't care about it, but couldn't help but glance at the fertile fields in the yard again.

"The things that Xuande Lord planted, do you know what they are?"

"Bei didn't know that these seeds were obtained by accident in his hometown in Youzhou, but they had never been cultivated."

"Now that I have free time, I just cultivated some!"

"Can I have some?"

Xi Yu couldn't help but speak out.

The seedlings in the yard are not other seeds, but some pepper seedlings.

Nowadays, a lot of peppers have grown on the seedlings!
He also became curious when he heard that Liu Bei had actually planted something in the yard.

After all, this is winter, and normal grain seeds will not bear fruit at this time.

Things that can bear fruit at this time naturally make Xi Yu very concerned.

"Since Mr. likes it, you can prepare yourself!"
