In order to reassure Cao, Guo Peng cooperated with them and started a letter exchange with Cao Lan.

Guo Peng was not worried about making fakes. Guo Peng recognized Cao Lan's handwriting. His beautiful small characters seemed to be as good as Cao Lan's temperament and were quite pityful.

Guo Peng started practicing calligraphy at the age of three, and practiced the mainstream official script of the Han Dynasty. There are still many differences from the regular script he is most familiar with.

But Guo Peng also knew that regular script began to appear in the late Han and early Wei dynasties. The most representative regular script master was Zhong Yao who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhong Hui's father who destroyed Shu Han.

Guo Peng has practiced soft-brush calligraphy for seven or eight years, mainly in regular script, and has some experience in calligraphy.

Now that I am changing to practice Han Li, it is still the most orthodox practice method of scholars in the late Han Dynasty. Naturally, I feel it is friendly, and I get used to it as I practice it.

Nowadays, I have to practice calligraphy with bamboo slips. The mainstream writing carrier is bamboo slips.

He has indeed seen the so-called Cai Hou paper, but to be honest, it is not only expensive, but also has a very bad texture, which is far less economical and easy to use than bamboo slips.

It takes a long time to form a habit of a whole society, and it takes a long time to replace it.

It took more than a hundred years to replace bamboo slips, silk cloth and other materials to become the main writing materials for Chinese literati, and paper that can achieve large-scale mass production will be until the Song Dynasty.

Today's paper is not enough to replace bamboo slips and silk cloth in terms of output and quality, although in some places in Xuzhou, papermaking has become a large-scale industry.

Guo Peng likes to practice calligraphy quietly by himself, so when practicing calligraphy, he can devote himself to what he likes to do without thinking too much about the future.

In his spare time, Guo Peng will practice the regular script he is most familiar with while practicing Han Li, but his practice materials are limited and bamboo slips cannot be supplied unlimited.

So he even used to turn some thick bamboo slips into two and turn them into four sides to practice calligraphy.

Later, because this was really expensive, a large amount of bamboo abbreviations could not be reused after they were finished.

So Guo Peng decided to bring his five confidant followers to open a papermaking workshop in his villa at home, using a large number of discarded bamboo slips as raw materials to make bamboo paper.

The bamboo paper manufacturing process chosen by Guo Peng was the papermaking process of the Ming Dynasty, which was recorded in "The Creation of Things in Heaven". Guo Peng took his own private team to secretly carry it in a small villa in Guo's family.

Since he was nine years old, he has been working on it for about half a year, and has explored an effective process and created a batch of bamboo paper that can be used for writing.

The cost is very low and the raw materials are easy to work with. Although the paper is yellow, it is very comfortable to write and does not feel uncomfortable.

However, Guo Peng was very strict and did not allow the five people of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to reveal the news, so that they could not say a word to the public.

Even Guo Dan didn't know about this. He was busy with official duties and did not have much time to care about Guo Peng's private life.

Guo Peng is very clear about what kind of impact this process will bring to this society after it is launched on a large scale.

At least until he has a certain power and status, this matter cannot be made public, and the seventh person except himself and the five people of gold, wood, water, fire and earth should not be known.

Even Guo Dan can't tell him.

This secret must be kept tightly in your hands and kept in your heart until you have enough power and status, and then do this in one breath and directly bring China into the paper era.

But if it is just to make people use paper, this is undoubtedly a very simple thing. Just solve technical problems and mass production problems, and it is not difficult at all.

Now that I am making paper on a high-profile basis, I am purely seeking death.

We must wait until we have enough power and status, and under the protection of a strong military force, and use absolute power to publicly implement it. Only in this way can we achieve results and ensure the original intention of this technology.

At present, Guo Peng only allows himself to use it privately, use it a little, and use it as waste. Everything is done in the Guo Manor, burn it after use or wipe it, which is very secretive.

Of course, ordinary letters are made of bamboo slips, and they rarely use silk cloth or silk. The more than 20 letters written to Cao Lan are all written in bamboo abbreviations. The above talks about what she has done and what she misses her.

Guo Peng is quite skilled in reasoning and writing love letters.

This is not to say that Guo Peng has long been away from such low-level fun.

It’s just because he has good writing style and beautiful writing, so when he was in school in his previous life, people often asked him to help write love letters. Not only did he earn pocket money, but he also exercised the ability to speak slutty and lies and empty talk.

A regular, empty love letter article was completed in one go, and then you could easily make small money and snacks.

Then he continued to develop new customers and maintain old customers, and enjoyed the most delicious food. This experience made Guo Peng deeply realize very early that reading changes destiny and knowledge is wealth.

The ancients' ability to speak love words was not low at all. In parallel comparison, they were not inferior to modern people. Don't think that only today's people can play love letters and talk love words.

However, such skills are limited to the group of scholars.

In ancient China, the literacy rate was not more than one percent for a long time, and most of them were sharpening their heads when they were about to pursue love, studying hard for the imperial examinations, so few people could write love letters, say love words, and have the spare time to do this, so some good love letters and love poems can be passed down.

This shows that Guo Peng's ability to write love letters and speak love words is extraordinary.

Anyway, the love letters written by Guo Peng always make Cao Xiaomei, who has just begun to fall in love, blushed her cheeks and eyes filled with spring water. She couldn't help but imagine how happy she would be in three years.

She really feels very happy and happy to be able to get along with her sweetheart.

She didn't know anything about what happened behind all this, and maybe she didn't want to know at all. She just wanted to spend her life in her sweetheart's arms, that's enough.

Even so, it is not easy.

Troubled times are coming, and visionary people have more or less noticed some signs, while visionless people are still chatting about trivial matters.

Guo Peng is a person who clearly knows that such a thing will happen, so he does more and more deliberately.

It was hard to say anything if I was not a member of the Cao family before, but now that the relationship has been confirmed, Guo Peng will no longer treat himself as an outsider.

And the happier he doesn't treat himself as an outsider. Cao's family will be.

Just like when he saw Cao Ren and Cao Chun secretly ran out to play without studying and practicing calligraphy seriously, Guo Peng was very angry.

So he carried a stick and beat Cao Ren and Cao Chun from the front yard to the back yard, angrily scolding them for having books to read but not reading seriously, which was simply unfilial!

He used "unfilial piety" to angrily denounce Cao Ren and Cao Chun, saying that their father Cao Chi worked hard in the capital to make books available to read, but they were wasting time fighting and not taking everything created by their fathers seriously. This was an act of unfiliality.

Because Guo Peng has prestige in the children's group, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun have always listened to Guo Peng's words. They dare not retaliate when they are scolded, and they dare not fight back when they are beaten. They honestly followed Guo Peng to study and learn to read.

If you can't read the scriptures and read the military books, you have to read them with Guo Peng anyway.

Cao Yin found that Guo Peng was more effective than he got angry, so he asked Guo Peng to be concerned about other Cao family children, such as Cao Hong and Cao De.

There were also elders from the Xiahou family who came to ask Guo Peng to ask if they could take some of the Xiahou family's children to study and other things.

Guo Peng said that it was difficult to start if he was older than him, so he could only persuade him that Cao Ren and Cao Chun were younger than him, so he could have such an effect. He could only do his best.

He did this too. Cao Hong and Cao De were younger than him and were usually followed behind his butt, so his persuasion was more effective.

Although Xiahou Yuan was older, Xiahou Yuan admired Guo Peng's courage, so he listened to it a little.

As for Xiahou Dun, he was only one year younger than Cao Cao. Before his elders could persuade him to work hard to study, he packed his luggage and went to Dunqiu to find Cao Cao.

He and Cao Cao were very close.

He is a person who "loves learning" and "respecting teachers and respects the Tao", or he is more loyal.

When he was fourteen years old, because someone humiliated Xiahou Dun's teacher, he was furious and committed murder. Later, Cao Cao asked Cao Song to help him settle the matter and save him from prison. Since then, he has been very friendly with Cao Cao.

Guo Peng didn't care. He did as much as he could do. Whether he did well or not was not something the Cao family could force him.

And in a few months, he will go to Luoyang. This is the time to study honestly, and he doesn't want to be outstanding at this time.

At this moment, Cao Song was in Luoyang and heard about the fact that Guo Peng was digging ice and fishing in his hometown to worship his stepmother. He was widely praised in Luoyang. He immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

So he spent a lot of money to connect the relationship between Shangshutai, and reported Guo Peng's name. By relying on his relationship with the Zhongchang Shi Lu Qiang, he donated some money to clear the obstacles to the eunuchs for Guo Peng.
