Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Quickly plug the big hole in the brain, and safely return to the question in front of me, "When you find it interesting, I will be in danger. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is compassionate and will definitely not want this to happen."

Zhao Can raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I forgive you for offending and being rude to me. Is this okay?"

Pingan felt that the whole conversation was embarrassing and spirited, and Zhao Can's words, which were comparable to the classic quotations of the president, were even more thunderous. He could only choose to submit, "As you wish."

"Actually, you are thinking too much." Zhao Can snorted, "How many people in this palace will pay attention to me?" If you don't pay attention to him, this so-called offense will of course not be known.It's fine as long as Zhao Can doesn't get angry.

But what I'm afraid of is your old man getting angry!It is said that the superiors are all so moody!Ping An has always felt that Zhao Can's protagonist is full of aura, who knows when it will explode.At that time, the unlucky one will still be himself.

So with what Zhao Can said before, he felt much more at ease!Although it is only a verbal agreement, the boss and the protagonists usually care about their promises, generally speaking.

"Well, you're right." He nodded and admitted, thinking in his heart that it would be more comfortable to speak like this.

Zhao Can looked Ping An up and down, "You have learned a lot in the past few months." I felt that there was something different about him, but it was not something that could be summed up in words.It seems that the whole person has changed.

But when he spoke, it was the same as before.

Pingan said, "After three days away from Shishi, you should look at him with admiration. Of course, I have to improve a bit."

Zhao Can was obviously very satisfied with this answer. He bent his lips and asked, "Then what progress have you made in the past two months?"

Of course, Ping An will not talk about the learning of common sense and details.And because Zhao Can didn't reject his so-called "delusion" before, he didn't mind sharing with Zhao Can the results he had achieved so far.Anyway, it is impossible for Zhao Can to come and take credit from him.

So he went back to the house, carefully took out the box containing the engraved characters, put it on the table, and patted it with satisfaction, "It's all here!"

Zhao Can opened it curiously and saw individual wooden characters. He was a little surprised and puzzled, "The things are well made, but are you going to use these characters to spell out a book? And the engraving on it...is Yang Wen." ?”

Although he is just an insignificant prince, Zhao Can also has his own private seal and has some experience in seals, so he is no stranger to Yang Wen. —Of course, this is what I learned in my previous life.But Ping An will not know such details.

Pingan suddenly laughed, "Even if you missed the mark, it's not far away! Your Highness should know what Yangwen is used for, right? As long as I arrange the words well, wouldn't it be a book after printing like this?"

Zhao Can's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.He just mentioned it casually at the time, thinking that it would be good for Ping An to work in this direction, but he didn't think deeply about what Ping An would do.I didn't even expect that Ping An would find a breakthrough so quickly.

Although it seems that it is just another printing method, as long as you think about it carefully, you will know the benefits. If it is extended, the cost will naturally be greatly reduced.

He knew that there were always some novel ideas in Ping An's mind, but he didn't know that when he used such cleverness in the right place, it would generate such a great energy.

At this moment, Zhao Can felt a little annoyance and regret in his heart, but it only passed in a flash.Ping An didn't even notice the change in his face, he just thought he was thinking about how to use this thing.

So he excitedly took out paper and ink to show.

Zhao Can finished reading with a gentle smile on his face, and after complimenting him a few words, he didn't continue this topic anymore.Ping An noticed that his interest was fading, although he didn't know why, and he didn't have the desire to continue showing.

For the next period of time, the atmosphere between the two was a little weird.In the end, it was Zhao Can who cheered up first, "I was thinking about something else just now, and your idea is really good. When will the book be printed?"

"It's still early." Facing Zhao Can's vaguely apologetic words, Ping An certainly couldn't continue to be angry.He said, "When it's printed, the first book will be given to you."

"it is good."

……

Time flies, and at the end of Ping An's first year in the factory, the first book printed by movable type printing was finally freshly released.After selection, Ping An chose to print the book "The Analects of Confucius".Although Dachu is completely different from the history in my memory, many places are still in common.For example, depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone.

Although he had promised to give Zhao Can the first book, but it was actually printed, and Ping An couldn't bear it.He decided to collect it himself!

Stamp the title page with the factory's seal and write that this is the first book to be printed using movable type.Pingan thought happily, maybe this book can be passed down as a family heirloom in the future, and after hundreds of years, it must be a rare copy with a high collection value, and everyone is vying for it to sell for tens of millions...

It's a pity that this fantasy was cut off abruptly only halfway through.

Ping An remembered with tears streaming down his face, it is impossible for him to have any offspring now, so what heirloom do we need?

This is really a sad story.

In the end, Ping An gave Zhao Can the book that he planned to keep for himself.In addition, he also printed a copy and sent it to the Supervisor of Rituals. At the same time, he wrote a booklet and reported the matter of movable type printing.

If you are lucky, this book may be sent to the emperor.

Every day when the emperor had breakfast, he would look at the new books printed by the palace himself, or the memorials presented by the eunuchs.However, because the time is short, what you can see is very limited. Whether it will be your turn or not, Ping An is not sure.

But in order to be a little smoother, he still managed to manage it.A young eunuch who was studying together in the Neishutang before was responsible for sending the memorials compiled by the chief of ceremonies to the emperor for review.It took a little effort for Ping An to manage him.

——Although they are "classmates", but now the identities of the two are heaven and earth, and the future cannot be generalized, and the other party's arrogance is taken for granted.

Ping An didn't care. In his opinion, he had already done what he could do, and then he had to wait for the result.

Anyway, over the past year, Ping An has learned a lot in the factory, and is not in a hurry to leave here.Perhaps this is also because he knows very well in his heart that this is the last place of peace. Once he leaves the economic factory, he will step into a completely unknown world, but just thinking about it, he knows that it will not be easy.

However, Ping An didn't know that his books and memorials were handed over, and they were immediately thrown in the corner.There are too many people who have no name or surname like this, and just want to please the people who ascended to heaven in the first step, and the people who sorted the memorials are no longer surprised.This kind of thing is actually risky. If the emperor is happy, it will do him no good; if he is not happy, everyone will follow suit.

So it doesn't matter, who is willing to rush to help him?Anyway, even if it works, the credit can't be credited to him.

The little eunuch who took care of Ping An entered the palace around the same time as him, and his name was He An.His master, eunuch Tian, ​​was in charge of sorting the memorials, and he himself was running an errand, sending the memorials to the Benchu ​​Hall, and then brought back the approved memorials from the Benchu ​​Hall.

It's not that He An didn't want to do things after receiving the money.He is also staring at the booklet sent up from below, and when the time comes, he will say a few nice words in front of the master, and he will do what he wants.It's a pity that when eunuch Tian threw the peace book and memorial into the corner, he happened to be away.

After reading it for a day, He An didn’t find it, so He An searched through the rest of the booklets to find out, and then carefully selected a few more, holding them carefully, and asking Eunuch Tian for advice, “Master, why don’t you pass these up?”

"You are a caring person." Eunuch Tian said, "It's just that you are too stupid! You are told to watch more on weekdays, can you still not see anything?"

He An compensated and said with a smile, "Master's intentions are far-reaching, but apprentices are stupid, how can they realize it? Isn't this here to ask Master for advice?"

Eunuch Tian was naturally happy when he heard this.He had been in the palace for nearly 20 years before he got this position. If he could catch up with him after a year of apprenticeship, then he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today.

He leaned back in the chair comfortably, and He An hurried over to give him a massage, "Master, you have worked hard."

Eunuch Tian let out a "huh", and then flipped through the few notebooks and told He An. If the person who wrote the notebooks offended anyone, it would be useless even if he handed them over, and it would make his superiors feel that he was incapable of doing things; Some things written in this notebook are taboo, if the emperor sees them, I will be the one who is unlucky...

He An listened with gusto, seeing that he opened the last book and left it without reading, he couldn't help but tense up. ——That's exactly what Ping An showed himself.

"Master, what's wrong with this book?" He asked carefully.

"There is nothing wrong with it." Eunuch Tian snorted, "Speaking of which, what he did is not bad, and a few compliments are indispensable for handing it over." At this point, he stopped and motioned for He An to bring him tea, and tasted it for a long time , then said slowly, "It's a good thing, but why should I help him build this ladder and send him straight to Qingyun?"

He An quickly lowered his head, and finally understood what Eunuch Tian meant.This is disgusting that Ping An didn't manage him.As a person who was dealt with by Ping An, he didn't dare to show any clues now, nodded repeatedly and said, "I see, this disciple has been taught."

He also knew that this matter could no longer be brought up in front of Eunuch Tian, ​​so he had to find Ping An in private, and conveyed this meaning, which was considered to be his best effort—it wasn't that I didn't want to help, or that I couldn't.

In front of He An, Ping An smiled and thanked him for his trouble.After all, although it didn't work out, He An even found the reason for himself after all.

But when he turned around, he could no longer hold back the sneer on his face.

He knew that the palace had such arrangements by default, especially for those negligent things, but he didn't expect that it had become such a blatant demand!

Although He An persuaded him, it's not too late to do something now, eunuch Tian should be very impressed with him, as long as he does well enough, it's not irreversible.For eunuch Tian, ​​whoever's booklet should be sent up, isn't it?At that time, he and An will join hands again, put Ping An in a higher position, and ensure that the emperor can see it, and this will be done.

But Ping An was unwilling to do what Eunuch Natian wished.

This road is impassable, do we still have to hit the south wall?He still doesn't believe it, could it be that he can't find another way?

Ping'an was not in a hurry, but Carpenter Zhou and his son were eagerly looking forward to it every day, hoping that there would be a decree from above to reward them.Pingan didn't have the nerve to tell them that the book hadn't been delivered to the emperor yet.

Zhao Can has been paying attention to Ping An's movements.Since Ping An had shown him this movable type printing technique, he would naturally not ignore it. ——As a matter of fact, Zhao Can has already taken the list of characters he sorted out from Ping An, and asked someone to cast a set of copper characters, with extremely exquisite workmanship.

Of course, this is not for printing, but for playing.

When he was free, Zhao Can used this set of fonts to spell out the articles he wanted to recite, and recited them while playing, and the effect was unexpectedly good.Later, when he simply had nothing to do, he fiddled with it.

Sometimes I have some years in my mind and I can't understand it clearly, so he also puts it out in words to help clarify my thoughts.When it is finished, once the words are collected, there will never be any traces left.For Zhao Can, this is much more meaningful than printing.

When Ping An's book was printed, he immediately went to the economics factory and asked for the copy that Ping An had promised him.After looking through it, I have to admit that the effect is indeed better than woodblock printing.Ordinary people may not be able to distinguish such a difference, but Zhao Can can tell it at a glance.

If this book is sent to the imperial court, I am afraid that Ping An will really be able to rise to the top from now on...

But Zhao Can also knew about Ping An's predicament.His current situation is that there is no way to reach the sky.Now that time is short, no one cares about him.In case someone notices in the future, wouldn't it be easy to pluck this fruit and let the efforts of peace go to waste?

The question now is, should Zhao Can give him a hand?

To pursue Zhao Can's own thoughts, he wanted to help.And he can help too.The reason why he was worried was because he didn't want to get involved with Ping An too early and expose their acquaintance.

But Zhao Can was really worried.If Ping An is suppressed this time, God knows if he will summon up his fighting spirit again?If he resigned to his fate, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?

Just as Zhao Can was hesitating, a little eunuch reported loudly at the door, "The eldest prince is here!"

Of course Zhao Rong couldn't wait outside, Zhao Xuan heard this, and his voice had already come in, "What are you doing again? I haven't seen you go to my place for a long time."

Zhao Can didn't even move her eyebrows.Anyway, he was already used to it. Whenever any of these brothers came to his Maoxin Hall, it was as if they were in their own territory, and they never knew what respect and etiquette meant.

He stood up and bowed to Zhao Rong, but Zhao Rong's eyes were glued to the lettering on the table, "Seventh Brother, here is something interesting again? What is it this time?"

Zhao Can screamed inwardly. He was so busy thinking about things just now that he forgot to clear the table.Once this thing is taken by Zhao Rong, why not give it to him?Zhao Can herself is also very fond of her, so naturally she doesn't want to part with it.

But since he was seen, he didn't hide it, and said openly, "It's a font."

As he spoke, he quickly picked out different characters and put them together on the tray, "Brother, please take a look."

"The reeds are green and there are no egrets. The so-called Yiren are on the side of the water." Zhao Rong read it again, and joked with a smile, "I didn't know, the seventh brother also understands this."

Zhao Can pretended not to hear, "That's not what I want big brother to read. I just got this thing and I'm researching it. Think about it big brother, if you can spell out a poem, you can also spell out an article. I I tried it in the past two days, spelled out the homework assigned by the master, and recited it while spelling, it was twice the result with half the effort!"

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Rong's interest suddenly increased.There are many things he likes, but not learning those boring things.But no matter whether it is the emperor, Concubine Zheng or the husband, they all have high hopes for him.The unique position in the palace made it impossible for Zhao Rong to relax for a moment.If this thing is really useful, of course he is very interested.

Zhao Can said, "I feel like this myself, but I don't know how big brother is."

Zhao Rong said, "Then give it a try." Then he began to fiddle with it, "How did you put this character?"

"According to the rhyme part." Zhao Can said, "Brother Yi Yun just go find it."

"This method is ingenious." Zhao Rong couldn't help but nodded and said, "It looks messy, but it is actually orderly. It's really not troublesome to pick it up. Where did you get this thing?"

Now that he couldn't hide it, Zhao Can calmed down, and quickly conceived a way in his mind that could not only get rid of himself, but also help Ping An, "Isn't Father's Longevity Day coming soon? My brother pondered I don't know what to give, I don't have any valuables here, so I have to put more thought into it. I want to print a booklet of my father's poems and essays, so I went to the economics factory a few days ago to have a look."

"Could it be that people from the factory made this thing? It's still useful." Zhao Rong said.

Zhao Can nodded, "I heard that they came up with this character to print books. They said it was for various benefits, but I don't care about it anyway. It's just that the character looks interesting, so I came back and asked someone to make one. It’s just a day, and I haven’t figured it out yet, the eldest brother came here. It can be seen that fate is really elusive.”

"Haha!" Zhao Rong was happy to hear that, and said with a smile, "If it's not troublesome, I'll just ask someone to do it again, but I dare not take away what my seventh brother loves."

"Isn't the younger brother's brother's?" Zhao Can said, but he didn't force it, but said, "But if it's for the elder brother, the brass will look tacky. I thought, let people use it well." It would be good if Yushi figured out a piece. What do you think, big brother?"

"It's not right, such a good thing doesn't exist at Father's place!" Zhao Rong said.

Really cooperated, the smile on Zhao Can's face became more sincere, "Big brother is right. But after hearing what big brother said, my younger brother has a new idea, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Just say it." Zhao Rong said indifferently, "Why are you fighting with me?"

"I just want to take advantage of my elder brother." Zhao Can said, "I thought, why don't I let the people in the economic factory use this typeface to print a set of poems and prose of the emperor as a birthday gift, and my elder brother can figure out a pair of jade typefaces. How about putting them together as a gift to Father Emperor?"

As soon as Zhao Rong heard it, she knew that where Zhao Can took advantage of her, she clearly took advantage of him.But Zhao Can's proposal was really in line with his wishes, and Zhao Can himself might not be able to find so many good jades, so it was only natural to give up the credit for this eye-catching job.

So he nodded and said, "That's a good idea. I'll ask someone to prepare it later."

Zhao Rong didn't expect that she would get something like this when she came to visit Zhao Can on a whim today. She couldn't help laughing, "Seventh brother is such a fantastic idea. You always have something new and interesting here. It's enviable."

"It's just figuring it out." Zhao Can was not humble, "My brother is only talented in these things."

Zhao Rong's eyes flashed, and he smiled.Zhao Can's understanding of current affairs made him very satisfied, why didn't he realize that this seventh younger brother was such an interesting person before?In terms of talent, he is not outstanding, but he always has such a cleverness and can accomplish something.Only such a person can use it with confidence, so as not to lose control.

Zhao Can was also very satisfied.On the one hand, the relationship with Zhao Rong was shortened, and when the presents presented by the two of them were displayed on the day of the birthday banquet, everyone would know his relationship with the First Prince.On the other hand, it also perfectly solved the problem of peace - when the time comes, the emperor will inevitably ask where this wonderful idea came from.The two princes naturally disdain to be greedy for merit, as long as they mention a half sentence, it is enough.

After sending Zhao Rong away, Zhao Can sat back in his seat, pondered for a while, and finally came up with two words and put them on the table, but it was exactly the word "Zhao Rong".

After a while, he put the two characters back, and picked up another two characters, displaying "Peace".

What a good name, the meaning is so good that people don't want to pay attention.Maybe that's why he's always so lucky?

Safe, safe... I have set up the ladder, so don't let me down.
