I turned against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and I went crazy in the Three Kingdoms.

Disaster is imminent?

Lu Zhen didn't understand what it meant.

Cai Yan sighed:

"Does the general know that there was a paper mill outside Luoyang at that time, and the Xuan paper produced was of high quality and low price? Lu

Zhen nodded, vaguely guessing something.

Cai Yan pointed it out directly:

"Their paper is better than the paper mills run by the gentry or even the government. But he was targeted because of this"

"The paper mill was harmed by officials and wealthy people and disappeared."

Lu Zhen understood: the improved papermaking technology would share the cheese of those with vested interests, so it was targeted.

Cai Yan looked at Lu Zhen silently, with a hint of helplessness in his sweet voice, and continued:

"In fact, the scholar-bureaucrats did not care about the petty profits gained from papermaking."

"Rather, the paper industry would lower the threshold for knowledge dissemination, which would break the scholar-officials' monopoly on knowledge. Lu

Zhen was slightly startled and looked at Cai Yan with burning eyes.

She looked cute and stupid, but she was a person with far-reaching thoughts and unique vision.

Cai Yan also met Lu Zhen, her face was full of expectation and her eyes were shining, and she said:

"However, improving papermaking technology is beneficial to the upliftment of the nation and the progress of the country."

"I hope the general will persist, but it should be done gradually."

This is Cai Yan's advice to Lu Zhen.

In other words, don't make too much paper now and impact the market, otherwise it will inevitably attract the attention and suppression of the world.

Instead, you should make a small amount first, and wait until you have stronger strength. You can do whatever you want.

Lu Zhen suddenly became interested and asked her:

"So what do you think I should do now?"

Cai Yan started to pretend to be stupid again. She blinked her big crystal clear eyes and said:

"Huh? I don't know either. Why are you asking me?"

That confused look is very touching. He is so cute and smart, he is really a wonderful person.

Lu Zhen laughed loudly, and seeing that it was getting late, he took Cai Yan and left the paper factory.

"How long do you have to stay here? Lu

Zhen asked as he sent Cai Yan to the carriage.

Cai Yan climbed onto the carriage and sat in silence for a while before saying:

"The poetry conference is over and it’s time for me to leave"

"However, my father said that I could travel more and not be in a hurry to return to the capital. Lu

Zhen immediately understood that she needed a reason to stay, and said:

"Great, I plan to build a school, can I ask Zhao Ji for help?"

When the little maid heard him calling"Zhao Ji" affectionately, she immediately wanted to refuse fiercely.

But Cai Yan clapped her hands and said:

"Okay, but I can't teach, so I'll help you read some books. Lu

Zhen's eyes lit up, because he knew that Cai Yan's little head contained thousands of books.

And what Lu Zhen lacked most now were books.

In order to facilitate her silent writing, Lu Zhen suggested:

"Zhao Ji might as well move to the Sheriff's Mansion."

The little maid immediately refused:

"no!"

Cai Yan nodded obediently this time:

"Living in the Sheriff's Mansion is very inconvenient, but my current residence is quite good."

Cai Yan's current residence was provided by Wei Jian, an independent courtyard, and there was also a nursing home.

Lu Zhen did not insist anymore, but dispatched a team of elite soldiers to guard it.

"Now that I have hired Miss Cai to serve as a worship service in the academy, it is appropriate to send troops to protect her."

Lü Zhen said it was natural.

But the little maid Siqin felt that Lu Zhen was sending someone to spy on him with bad intentions.

In the evening, after Lu Zhen returned home, he found Lu Bu and Zhang Liao coming.

The two were drinking tea in the hall, Diao Chan He was waiting by the side, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Seeing Lu Zhen come back, Diao Chan breathed a sigh of relief.

And Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"My son, you want to get married without saying a word. Zhang

Liao also smiled and said:

"Yes, it was Xi Zhi who told us."

The two of them seemed to be complaining that Lu Zhen was not close enough to them.

Lu Zhen said:

"Well, that’s what I asked Ah Cai to tell you. Lu

Bu felt even more sad. He felt that his son was treating Ah Cai better than himself.

Zhang Liao felt that the atmosphere between father and son was not right, so he hurriedly said:

"Thank you for your hard work, eldest nephew. I see you are busy from morning to night."

Lü Zhen was indeed a little tired, but seeing that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao seemed a little embarrassed, he adjusted his mood, asked them to sit down and said:

"How is it in the military now?"

Lu Bu became excited instantly:

"Okay, my son has selected elite soldiers. I took them to practice for a day today, and they all made great progress."

Only then did Lu Zhen see that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were both wearing armor and dusty.

They had obviously come from the military camp.

While Lu Zhen was busy building internal affairs, Lu Bu was also busy training troops.

Lu Zhen was very pleased with this. After all, it was cheap. It's good if the father has a sense of urgency.

In fact, what makes Lu Bu feel a sense of urgency is that his son has offended too many people.

Moreover, Lu Bu also got some bad news today:

"Dong Zhuo could not resist the Kwantung Allied Forces and had withdrawn from Luoyang. After Sun Jian captured Luoyang, he had the intention of crossing the water and heading north."

"Yuan Shao has begun to seize Hanoi County. I suspect his target is us."

"Cao Cao showed his support for Sun Jian by recruiting troops in Chenliu. Zhang

Liao also sighed and said:

"Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an"

"Then we have become a prominent front line of battle."

In short, the current development is extremely unfavorable to Lu Zhen.

And Lu Zhen is also a little strange. After all, the historical alliance against Dong should have broken up at this time, and everyone went home and attacked each other.

Why did everyone unanimously deal with themselves?
