Through some untraceable way, Zuo Bo made technological innovations in paper production quickly spread to Luoyang.

So someone immediately "reported" and "informed" Guo Peng about such a thing.

Guo Peng immediately told the Ministry of Finance about this matter and asked Wang Can to send someone to Qingzhou to find "Zuo Bo" to discuss the matter to see if he could get more paper at a cheaper price.

If so, buy in large quantities, the more you purchase, the better.

The Great Wei Dynasty needed paper, local governments needed paper, and grassroots officials also needed a large amount of paper.

And the paper obtained can make up for the part needed by Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall.

After the Ministry of Finance learned about this, Wang Can attached great importance to this matter and immediately ordered the capable Ministry of Finance officials to go to Qingzhou to learn about the matter.

After learning that this matter was indeed true, Wang Can learned that the price of paper has dropped by about 20% compared to the past, and the number of purchases available is also higher. Although it is necessary to book, it is not available in one breath.

However, compared with the past, it is really much cheaper, and the amount purchased has increased by a lot.

Wang Can was very happy and immediately informed Guo Peng. Guo Peng was also very "happy". He immediately issued an edict to the Ministry of Finance to increase the purchase of paper and use this part of the paper in the daily official duties of the court.

Then, the local government will be allocated official paper according to the local population, specifically used to record data, so as to gradually reduce the amount of bamboo slips in terms of data and replace it with paper.

Do you have anything to say now?

The teaching needs of the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall were finally met.

In order to please Mr. Guo, Wang Can not only approved the budget for the bamboo slips, but also specially approved a batch of "Zuo Bo paper" to the Shouyang Mountain Martial Arts Hall for use in the Shouyang Mountain Martial Arts Hall.

Mr. Guo, who knows the secret well, is very happy about it.

He wanted to know, when the number of Zuo Bo papers increases in the near future, and the price becomes cheaper, and the quantitative change produces a qualitative change. What will happen to those who desire monopoly when the world changes?

Government officials long for more paper and more convenient writing work to help them, so Mr. Guo adapted to their expectations and even exceeded the task.

How will they feel?

Can they realize that such a thing will have an impact on their monopoly?

Will you react immediately, or will you realize it after being slowed down for many years?

To be honest, paper business is indeed difficult.

This business is very sensitive.

More than once, someone has tried to test Qingzhou's papermaking industry.

If you want to obtain the production method of paper, or explore the secrets of paper production, or even get the production and sale rights of paper, you want to get a share.

Originally, Qingzhou's papermaking industry was not simple, and the water was very deep, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the warlord separatist completely disrupted the original pattern. The pool of water was exhausted, and the turtles inside were exposed.

Damn it all died.

It is obviously not easy for latecomers.

If Guo Peng hadn't brought up the banner and tied up the papermaking business with Mi, used Mi as the backstage, and then served as the backstage for Mi himself, Zuo Bo's business would probably be really difficult to continue.

The identity of Mi is quite useful, it is simply a versatile white glove.

But Mi can withstand it for a while, but not for a lifetime. As paper becomes more and more useful and the output becomes larger, Mi can't withstand this pressure.

That's why Guo Peng used this more secret and gentle method to release the paper little by little, intending to complete the paper revolution in a more gentle and rather than explosion in one breath.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to what some people will think about such facts and do what they will do.

The paper is released relatively slowly, with higher output every month than last month, and the price is slightly cheaper than last month.

The paper becomes more, it will be more useful, and it will be more affordable.

Boiling frogs in warm water is not a good proposition, and Mr. Guo has no way to cover the pot to death, but Mr. Guo is very interested in how much frogs will endure before they can jump out of it.

To what extent can they insist on compromising before they break out?

Mr. Guo didn't know, so he had to do an experiment.

However, once this experiment begins, it cannot be finished and you can't look back.

Therefore, the date when paper books are published in the world is not far away.

The real decisive battle is not far away.

What kind of wave will the paper revolution and the printing revolution set off? These are things that Mr. Guo cannot predict for the time being.

But the war must be very fierce.

It is impossible to seize this part of the benefits from the vested interests without bleeding.

This kind of thing is not a simple treat to a meal.

Mr. Guo wants to bet on the national destiny of the Guo-Wei Empire for this.

At present, Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall is certain, it can be kept and stable.

Anyway, the teaching requirements of the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall have been met, so the enrollment matter can be further deepened and accelerated.

At the same time, Mr. Guo has already started to select teaching content and teaching methods, as well as teaching teachers.

He believed that it was necessary to train these five hundred people to become the mainstay of the future army.

The combat effectiveness of the army must be maintained. After the older generation of generals grow old and cannot continue to fight, newcomers must be replaced in time so as not to have the same green and yellow states as Shu Han and Wu.

The most unreliable part of the general is inheritance, and the incompetence of the young and old. Once there is no reliable descendant, it means that a country's military talents will have a gap. How terrible is that?

When a veteran in his seventies becomes a pioneer, Guo will never allow Wei State to appear.

After getting through these things, Guo happened to receive a secret memorial from Yu Jin's request to transfer Zhang Fei away.

The above said that Zhang Fei was too noisy and wanted to fight. He couldn't be idle at all. If he didn't let him fight, he would mess with others. But he had a very old experience and could not deal with it according to common sense.

Yu Jin felt that he could not do anything with Zhang Fei about this kind of thing, so he asked Guo Peng to help him, and he was very pitiful.

After reading Yu Jin's secret memorial, Guo Peng felt amused and laughed.

Zhang Fei, when will you be more at ease?

No, if he is settled, he will not be Zhang Fei.

The general's destructiveness seems to be proportional to the degree of noisy.

Zhang Fei has always been very noisy and destructive, both against Wei and foreign enemies.

It is precisely because he has never changed. From before the founding of the People's Republic of China to after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has always been like this.

That's why Guo Peng likes Zhang Fei so much.

It is rare to have a subordinate who never changes from beginning to end, so Guo Peng is relatively tolerant of Zhang Fei in many things.

Forget it, then think about what to do for him.

Guo Peng thought about it over and over again, thinking that the Liaodong war was basically just one finishing work, and Yu Jin could easily complete it, and there was no need for Zhang Fei, a super killer weapon.

However, there are four counties in Liangzhou that are not essentially under the jurisdiction of the Wei Empire, which is considered an unfinished task.

Four counties in Hexi.

Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County.

After the extermination of Ma Teng and Han Sui's separatist forces, Guo Peng did not continue to order Cao Ren's army to advance westward due to logistics issues, but ordered Cao Ren to lead his army to garrison the local area, develop military farms, accumulate food and fodder, repair roads, and train cavalry.

After all other problems were solved, we officially entered the Hexi Corridor, took back the remaining four counties, and then officially prepared to enter the Western Regions.
