Gongshu Ban was very confused and didn't understand what printing was.
"What is printing?"
"It's the technique of rubbing characters. The characters are carved in reverse onto clay, then fired into pottery, like a seal, one character at a time. When needed, the desired character combination is selected, ink is applied, and the resulting article is printed."
Lin Han wanted to try to let the system characters invent movable type printing, because white paper can be mass-produced, and books and articles can be printed on a large scale in the future.
The system stipulates that players cannot create technology from a later era unless the relevant settings are enabled, but it doesn't say that system characters can't. Gongshu Ban has the invention skill, and there's a chance that later-era technology and products will appear in the Jixia Academy.
There might be a chemical reaction between the two.
"It's a unique idea and sounds easy. We can give it a try." Gongshu Ban nodded in surprise.
Lin Han was in a good mood and strolled around the territory.
The territory is now thriving. Let him concentrate on developing it for five years. Who knows what it will become by then.
When Lin Han was quietly enjoying the time after the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, news came from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Crisis in Hanshan Village, Youzhou!
The imperial court learned that Hanshan Village was a village controlled by the divine envoy Lin Han, and sent troops from Youzhou to besiege it. Huangfu Song was ordered to lead the troops north.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Han immediately found Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, I have to go on a long journey for urgent matters. Please keep an eye on the affairs of the territory. If there are any matters that cannot be decided while I am away, please consult Tian Feng and Bao Zheng for a decision."
"clear."
Jia Xu agreed, but seeing Lin Han's expression, he hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Lin Han immediately asked, "Wenhe, is there something wrong?"
"My lord, nothing happened." Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, looking as if something was wrong.
"But you can say it!"
"I'm afraid I've offended you, and I'm afraid the Lord will blame me."
"Do I look like an unenlightened person?"
"Not really, that's an offense. Xu disappeared during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. When he returned, he was bloody and full of murderous energy. His dragon energy was even thicker, probably from fighting in battle and encountering something extraordinary.
Later, the lord went to Luoyang to rescue Lord Lu. However, at that time, the Yellow Turbans invaded Luoyang. Based on Xu's understanding of the lord, he would not risk his life to rescue people from the enemy.
Recalling that the Lord forbade us to dispatch troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and that the Yellow Turban troops had once passed through Hanjiang but were not attacked, Xu had a guess that the Lord might have some connection with the Yellow Turbans, but it was only a guess, and no offense was intended."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he bowed and apologized.
Lin Han looked at Jia Xu in surprise. He was indeed the smartest man. He could make so many inferences based on just some uncertain clues, and he got them right.
"Wenhe, if I really have connections with the Yellow Turbans, what will you do?"
Lin Han left the choice to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was silent for a moment, then said, "I asked the lord about this matter, so I was mentally prepared. If the lord really has any connection with the Yellow Turbans, I am already an accomplice."
"What if I told you that I'm not only a Yellow Turban, but I've also transformed into the Yellow Turban Supreme Envoy Lin Han, led my troops into Luoyang, and personally cut off the dragon head from the throne? Would you still be my accomplice?"
Lin Han activated the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique and kept an eye on the changes in Jia Xu's attributes.
He couldn't help but worry that Jia Xu's loyalty had changed.
If anything goes wrong with Jia Xu, he will suffer huge losses.
At this time, Jia Xu looked shocked.
Although Lin Han just asked this, he was a smart man and knew that there was no assumption in this matter.
It's just giving him a choice.
He only guessed that Lin Han had connections with the Yellow Turbans, but he didn't expect that Lin Han was also the most terrifying divine envoy, who led the troops to attack Luoyang and was one of the people who led the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
"If that's the case, I'm willing to follow you, lord, and stick together." Jia Xu looked directly into Lin Han's eyes that could see through people's hearts and said firmly.
After spending a long time together, he knew that Lin Han was a wise leader and he was not a pedantic person.
Emperor Gaozu could rebel against Qin, but who dares to say that there is a dynasty that will last forever?
Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?
If you don't fight for the credit of following the dragon now, when will you fight for it?
Jia Xu's loyalty remained unchanged. Lin Han laughed and took out the golden dragon head he had obtained in Luoyang, displaying it dazzlingly in the study.
"What I just said is not hypothetical. The chaos of the Eastern Han Dynasty began with the court, the emperor was incompetent, and the officials were incompetent. This had already exhausted the Eastern Han Dynasty's fortune. The only reason it survived was because Liu Hong was still alive.
The world is plagued by disasters, including epidemics and droughts, yet the court remains completely indifferent. The emperor, in the West Garden, enjoys dog and donkey fights, reveling in excess and absurdity. While the rich feast on wine and meat, the streets are dotted with frozen corpses. What good is a court like this?
After hearing this, Jia Xu sighed.
What Lin Han said might be true.
The rich have wine and meat, but the poor freeze to death on the streets. How true and how sad it is.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion is over. My Lord, why are you leaving this time?"
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion has not been resolved. Most of the Yellow Turbans obeyed my orders, gave up direct confrontation with the imperial army, and moved to Yuyang in Youzhou. Now the imperial court wants to encircle and suppress them, and I need to go to Yuyang to take charge of the situation." Lin Han said.
"My lord, although the Eastern Han Dynasty is nearing its end, the imperial power still exists. The Yellow Turbans have been defeated, and the situation is irreversible. Going to Yuyang is putting yourself in danger."
"I know. I just led the remaining Yellow Turbans northward and into the Great Xia Dynasty."
"My lord, you wish to invade the former Wuhuan territory? Indeed, I have heard that the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty is a military genius, having once allied with the Yellow Turbans to annihilate the Wuhuan with 20,000 elite troops. His identity is mysterious, and rumors circulate that he is the reincarnation of Shura. The Great Xia Dynasty has a friendly relationship with the Yellow Turbans, so invading the Great Xia Dynasty is the best option. Huangfu Song would certainly not dare to rashly lead his troops to attack."
"It is rumored in the world that the King of Daxia is the reincarnation of Shura?" Lin Han complained. How could he not know.
"The Yellow Turbans have a relationship with Daxia. My lord, isn't this aware of this?" Jia Xu asked in return.
"I was busy with the Yellow Turban Rebellion before, so how could I have the time to listen to this rumor? Tell me in detail." Lin Han became interested.
