Chapter 851: Spreading

"Zifang, I must trouble you more with this matter." "This is a good thing; I will certainly do my utmost. However, what about this papermaking and printing technology?"

Zhang Liang naturally knew that if this matter was done well, he would also benefit. After all, spreading this Medical Dao Canon, especially the part about barefoot doctor self-rescue, could save tens of millions of lives.

Although Su Fan, the creator of the canon, would certainly take the lion's share in the end, those of them who spread it would also receive a portion of the merit and fortune.

Zhang Liang was naturally no stranger to merit and fortune.

He also clearly understood the benefits of this merit and fortune; with merit upon one's body, the three calamities would not befall one, and one could become a merit immortal.

Zhang Liang felt envious of the human sages entering the Fire Cloud Cave; he knew that unless he could also create some work that could influence the fortune of the human race.

Otherwise, he would at most be a human Qi cultivator, and it would be impossible for him to ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave.

His teacher, Xunzi, was indeed qualified to enter the Fire Cloud Cave.

And his teacher was also qualified to take a few disciples to the Fire Cloud Cave.

For the proud Zhang Liang, he was naturally unwilling to enter the Fire Cloud Cave with such an identity.

He wanted to enter the Fire Cloud Cave uprightly with his own ability, not through the back door.

If he spread this Medical Dao Canon, perhaps he would have a chance in the future.

"Rest assured, here are the methods for papermaking and printing; I will leave them to you."

The emergence of papermaking and printing was naturally beneficial to the Confucian school; a large number of books could be copied, and more disciples could be recruited.

Currently, the Little Sage Virtuous Manor had thousands of disciples.

Even if it expanded to ten thousand, no one in Donghai City would care, as the Prefect of Donghai Commandery was considered half a disciple of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor.

It was just a pity that the Little Sage Virtuous Manor could recruit more disciples, but there were not enough teachers.

"In addition, Zifang, take a look at this."

Su Fan then took out chalk and a blackboard; the benefits of these things for teaching were truly numerous.

"This is..."

As a smart person, Zhang Liang saw at a glance the benefits of this blackboard and chalk for teaching, especially in teaching disciples to read.

"These two things, used for teaching, I think you can see, Zifang, are very convenient, and they are also very convenient and cheap to make, much cheaper than pen and ink, and more convenient than carving knives."

In this world, teaching literacy was not as simple as in later generations; among aristocrats, they used pen, ink, and paper; for ordinary people, they either used bamboo slips for engraving, or the poorest used sand trays.

However, the effect of sand in sand trays was the worst.

And once the blackboard and chalk came out, they could absolutely replace them.

Zhang Liang personally felt it with the chalk, and his eyes shone with light.

"Brother Su, the surprises you give me are one after another. With this blackboard and chalk, our Confucian education will be even easier."

The effect of the blackboard and chalk on the Confucian school was the greatest.

The greatest merit of the Confucian school was education; the reason Confucius could become a sage was not just because of the Confucian classics, but because of his merit in education and his philosophy of education.

With this blackboard, a Confucian teacher could teach more people to read; the first step to learning Confucianism was to be literate.

Learning to read and write was also the most basic and most cumbersome.

But with this blackboard and chalk, Zhang Liang believed that in this regard, it would be much easier for the Confucian school to teach disciples in the future, and they could also teach more.

Even many bottom-tier commoners could learn to read and write; even if they could not continue to learn more profound Confucian academic disciplines, just being literate was already very good for many bottom-tier commoners.

This could also increase the strength of the Confucian school.

Why could the Confucian school become one of the three teachings? It was precisely because of the path of education, which made the Confucian school have numerous disciples, the most among the three teachings.

Its influence also began to gradually exceed that of the other two teachings.

Zhang Liang was very happy in his heart; he was originally a Confucian disciple, although he had learned from other schools, and was even more powerful in the Military and Daoist schools.

But he would not forget his identity as a Confucian disciple.

Anything that could help the Confucian school, he was naturally willing to do.

"Next, I need you to contribute. With these blackboards and chalk, your Confucian disciples can go deep into the villages to teach those bottom-tier commoners to read and write. Afterward, they can also learn parts of my Medical Dao Canon."

Su Fan said with a smile; he took these out precisely to spread his canon.

Especially the part about barefoot doctor self-rescue, which had over a million words in total and was also extremely precious in later generations.

Placed in this era, it was absolutely a supreme canon.

These things could not quickly improve the strength of Great Qin, but some surgical medical techniques, once deployed in the Great Qin military, could improve the strength of the Great Qin military a little.

After all, those soldiers, the wounded soldiers who survived and were saved, could still return to the battlefield—those were veteran soldiers.

Veteran soldiers were extremely precious to the army.

So Su Fan believed that the Great Qin military would inevitably not stop this part of the canon.

Of course, they would also restrict it, but Su Fan did not care.

They would not restrict it much; after all, the Great Qin military had greater power, and the scope of dissemination would naturally be broader.

These would all bring him a steady stream of fortune.

"Brother Su, I won't stay long; I will take these."

Having obtained the items, Zhang Liang was unwilling to stay long; he wanted to take these things back, especially the printing and papermaking techniques. He knew what a great thing these two technologies would be for the Confucian school once they were deployed.

With more books, Confucian education would be easier.

The Confucian school of the future would certainly be able to advance further.

He had not thought that among the later generations of Confucian disciples, someone could unite with the emperor and directly create a situation of "dismissing the Hundred Schools and honoring only Confucianism."

However, if he really succeeded, then this person would obtain the Confucian fortune and could instantly reach the level of a Half-Sage; a human Half-Sage was also a Great Luo limit cultivation.

However, wanting to achieve this in the mythical world was not that easy.

How could the various parties of the Hundred Schools of Thought sit idly by?

Precisely because of this, Zhang Liang had never thought about it.

But right now, with these things, the Confucian school's advancement was inevitable; of course, the other Hundred Schools of Thought would certainly develop as well.

It was just that compared to the Confucian school, they would be a bit worse.

At that time, the gap between the Confucian school and the Daoist school would certainly be further narrowed.

As a Confucian disciple, how could Zhang Liang not be happy, how could he not be anxious?

After all, the more it spread, the faster the Confucian school would develop. ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
