Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 81
In the past few days, above the court, Wei Wang was always in a trance, wandering around the world, and sometimes suddenly showed an ecstatic expression as if there was no one else around, as if he wanted to understand something big.
As for what he wants to understand, it is estimated that only he knows.
Li Tai: He has figured out a great technical problem, and he can't wait to go to Brother Changbai to discuss it immediately.
But a group of ministers who supported him were anxiously bald.
It also made Li Shimin very strange. His son has always behaved well, why is he suddenly so stupid?
At the same time, the Prince's Mansion has also been in trouble recently.
Gong'e and servants of the Prince's Mansion felt that they were going to be scared out of their wits all day long.
"Boom, boom, boom" sounded several times in their mansion.
This is not a big deal, if you listen to it for a few more days, and every time you go to investigate with fear, you can also bring back a large handful of sweet and toothless snacks.
Slowly force yourself to get used to it.
But they had just gotten used to the muffled thunder that rang at every turn, and something new happened that terrified them.
In broad daylight, the people in Ronghua Palace were actually performing vicious rituals.
Yes, they were definitely not mistaken, it was definitely an extremely evil witchcraft technique, which frightened a group of people in the Prince's Mansion to turn pale.
In the Ronghua Mansion, according to Chief Manager Zhou, that one is not his nephew, but the prince's secretary Lang of their Prince's Mansion, Xu Jiazi of Zhongshusheren, who is their immediate boss, is now in the courtyard, in broad daylight, with a mouthful A cauldron for boiling something extremely evil.
Looking into the pot, there are all kinds of things, rotting bark, sawdust, reeds, wheat straw...
How could a normal person suffer through this?It must be witchcraft.
The key is that the three people who boiled things showed evil smiles from time to time, which made people panic.
A group of servants who were so frightened that they were trembling while walking hurriedly ran to tell the chief manager Zhou, but the chief manager Zhou just gave them a look and told them not to cooperate if they had nothing to do.
Manager Zhou thought in his heart, how can these newcomers understand Xu Jiazi's magic?Sighed, I really don't know much, they were already numb with fright ten years ago, such as trapeze people, now this is nothing compared to that, what's the fuss?If these old people are knowledgeable, Xu Jiazi must be playing with his science again.
And a group of servants, Gong'e, felt that Chief Zhou was too calm?That's a voodoo technique to avoid.
Even Chief Manager Zhou didn't care, and ran to join in the fun for a while, seemingly very interested, and then ran away with bright eyes.
It's even more impossible for these subordinates to take care of the affairs of their immediate superiors. Although this boss, he doesn't seem to have done his own work in a day.
However, there is no need for the new officials to take office three fires, they are already scared to the ground.
Xu Changsheng, Erdan, and Brother Changbai are boiling the bark now, and they are very happy.
Xu Changsheng plans to build the most remarkable library in the Tang Dynasty in his college. What a great ideal this is. Even Er Dan and Brother Chang Bai felt proud when they heard this.
Only Xu Jiazi could say such a thing.
For a long time, the place with the largest collection of books in the Tang Dynasty must be the Hongwen Library.
The status of Hongwenguan students is even higher than that of Guozijian.
The best colleges in the Tang Dynasty were not Guozijian, but Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan. Most of them recruited the children of the imperial family, and the number was not many. They were the highest institutions in the Tang Dynasty.
But Changsheng said that they want to build the greatest and most comprehensive library in the Tang Dynasty. They absolutely believe that their collection of books will definitely surpass that of Hongwen Library and Chongwen Library.
Build a library, own full range of printed books.
The difficulty now is printing and expensive paper.
The circulation of books in the Tang Dynasty is not very extensive. The most important reason is that paper is too expensive, and it is impossible to print all books on a large scale.
I heard that someone got a good book alone, and scholars from all over the world would come to copy it themselves, instead of thinking about printing it widely.
Printing is not too difficult. You can use movable type to print, avoiding the problem that every book in woodblock printing must have a special woodblock.
But Xu Changsheng had to get the paper himself in order to save costs.
They are trying to make paper.
The process is not difficult, but you have to slowly try the proportions.
They are making pulp now, and they boiled a pot just now, but it is too thick and dark, and it looks scary.
Although the pot is not very good-looking, but the consistency is just right, so Er Dan and the others showed a strange smile in the eyes of others.
Erdan covered her nose, "Is it okay to live forever? I don't think other people's paper is like this, this one looks like poop."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
It made him sick.
What other people use is paper, but theirs is still pulp, and Erdan is too eager to get it done.
Xu Changsheng quickly poured out the pot of disgusting things.
He boiled the pot again, this time it must be much better, because there must have been too many reeds just now.
Reboil the water and add the ingredients.
This time, it really turned into a normal paste, which looks much better. The black particles, wheat stalks and the like can be filtered out.
Xu Changsheng's eyes sparkled, and he finally completed the first step of the material ratio experiment.
He wrote it all down in a notebook.
Erdan poked his head over again, and was about to speak when Xu Changsheng was afraid that he would say something serious, so he interrupted him quickly, "Derdan, play with mud while you're at it."
There is a pile of mud next to it, which is used to make movable type. After it is done, it will be transported back to Xujia Village to be fired to see the effect.
"Oh."
Erdan replied, but he really wanted to boil the bark with Changsheng.
Then he ran towards Xu Changsheng while making mud, and said some words that made Xu Changsheng "shocked to heaven".
Xu Changsheng and Brother Changbai are now washing and filtering the boiled pulp.
When they were drying the filtered pulp dryer, Li Chengqian actually came over.
What was rare was that Li Chengqian was actually a little anxious, "I heard from Director Zhou that you want to make very cheap paper?"
Just now Chief Manager Zhou came to see something strange, Xu Changsheng told him something, unexpectedly, Chief Manager Zhou ran away before finishing listening, probably looking for Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian hurried over after getting some news from Chief Manager Zhou.
In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Wenzhi and martial arts, in terms of martial arts, now the weapons of the Tang Dynasty are the best, and the horses are also the most durable. There is no problem in deterring the surrounding people.
However, there are obstacles in terms of civil governance. Paper is expensive in Luoyang, which is really expensive. If you want to promote education and let people in the world have more scholars who are sensible and sensible, they are stumped by the problem that Datang has no cheap paper.
Paper is too expensive for common people to use, so there is no talk of promoting cultural and political education.
As soon as Xu Changsheng said that he was making cheap paper, he rushed over immediately.
This is something that can affect scholars all over the world, and can affect the culture and education of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Xu Changsheng replied, "I haven't figured it out yet. I'm still doing experiments, but it's really worked out for me. At least ordinary people won't be unable to go to college because of expensive paper."
Ordinary people can't afford to go to college because of expensive paper?
How many more scholars will there be in the Tang Dynasty, what a prosperous and unprecedented scene it will be.
Before Li Chengqian could speak, Xu Changsheng said again, "Your Highness wants to promote culture and education? But has Your Highness thought about it, even if the price of paper comes down, how many colleges can accommodate so many students?"
How can it be so simple to promote culture and education? It also requires the construction of a large number of academies and teachers.
Li Chengqian nodded, he had indeed considered this issue, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, get out cheap paper first."
Things always have to be done step by step, and he didn't even think about doing it in one step.
Xu Changsheng nodded. No matter whether culture and education can be promoted on a large scale, at least it would be good to lower the price of paper.
Li Chengqian didn't leave either, just observed the process of making paper in the yard.
Xu Changsheng is in the trial stage, and it is impossible to succeed all at once. He first burns more pulp for experimentation.
When Li Tai came, he saw that Li Chengqian was actually there. Isn't Li Chengqian very busy?He came at meal time every day, and arrived later than him, why is it so early today?
When he entered the Prince's Mansion just now, he saw a group of servants' maids with pale faces. He was familiar with this scene. What fun is Xu Jiazi playing again?
When I hurried to Ronghua Hall, I saw this scene.
Li Tai quickly averted his eyes from Li Chengqian, his biggest opponent could not attract his attention at all now, and now he didn't care what Li Chengqian was doing all day.
Looking at Xu Changsheng, he saw a pot of very evil stuff boiling, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Before Xu Changsheng could answer, Er Dan, who was playing with mud, quickly raised his hand, "It's cooking..."
Before the words came out, Brother Changbai covered his mouth, for fear of saying something earth-shattering.
He said embarrassingly, "We are improving the process of making paper so that it can be made into cheaper paper."
Cheaper paper?
Li Tai was stunned. Recently, the court unanimously agreed to promote civil governance, but they were troubled by some problems, among which the cost of paper was the biggest problem.
And Xu Jiazi is actually making cheap paper?
Given Xu Jiazi's monstrous past, it's very likely that he really got it out.
Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian, this shameless person came to take advantage again, and it seemed that they had already talked about it.
Li Tai thought in his heart, it seems that he does not have the credit for promoting cheap paper, but this credit cannot be taken by Li Chengqian alone.
Li Tai stepped forward, "I'll cook this pot for you...what is this pot?"
He has no part in the promotion, so his name must be added to the transformation process, and he will also take advantage of it.
Xu Changsheng was about to refuse, but Li Tai drove Xu Changsheng away, "Let me do this kind of tiring work, Xu Jiazi pay attention to rest."
累活?
Isn't it just to fan the fire twice with a fan?
Seeing that Li Tai actually liked Li Tai so much, Xu Changsheng let him cook the pot, and he watched from the side, so as not to get confused.
Because the things in the pot have been fermented in advance, the taste is particularly sour.
The servants and Gong'e of the Prince's Mansion are so sure that this is the art of witchcraft, or they smell "evil" from a long distance.
Xu Changsheng was going to ask Brother Changbai to go to Xu's supermarket tomorrow to bring back some masks, and the smell was really uncomfortable.
Erdan was a little unhappy, it was obviously him who fanned the flames.
Blinking and running to Li Chengqian, "Do you like playing with mud?"
Xu Changsheng was stunned to watch Er Dan trick Li Chengqian into playing in the mud.
So, he said Er Dan is not stupid at all.
One of the dignified princes was playing with mud and the other was fanning the fire. If the court ministers saw him, Xu Changsheng felt that his head was not very stable.
Erdan was still fooling around, "Changsheng said this is called movable type printing, it's amazing."
Li Chengqian was indeed interested. Although Er Dan's words were messed up, he actually heard something from them.
Eyes lit up, moveable type printing?
It is possible to print different books on a large scale without having to engrave an edition for each book.
Li Tai was stunned, playing with mud and printing with movable type?
If it is promoted, wouldn't it be more convenient to print books in the future.
Did Li Chengqian find another bargain?
How could he have imagined that a kid playing with mud could hide such a skill.
His face was a little dark. In terms of picking up cheap, he was indeed inferior to Li Chengqian.
However, the cheap paper craft is also very impressive, let him focus on this.
Er Dan and Li Chengqian kept making mud with each other, making the corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitch.
These muds are not ordinary muds, they are muds that can be fired into a fixed shape. Xujia Village already has the craftsmanship of this thing, so they use ready-made ones, so there is no need to experiment.
Xu Changsheng looked at the extent of the mud being mixed, walked over, and said, "It's almost done, let's start making movable type."
In fact, it is to make small pieces, prepare a unified mold, ensure the same size as much as possible, and then engrave regular characters on it.
Xu Changsheng also came to help.
It didn't take long to get a bunch of them.
only……
Xu Changsheng took the small square carved by Erdan to one side, and the words on it were distorted like earthworms.
As a movable type template, the characters should be the most regular regular script, and Li Chengqian did a good job.
Er Dan is literate, and knows a lot, but his calligraphy can only be said to be quite true to Xu Changsheng's childhood.
After all, Erdan studied with Xu Changsheng since he was a child, and the twisted arcs are all the same. He is a good student.
Seeing that Xu Changsheng actually took out his engraved characters, Er Dan took a look, why?Look at how beautiful his words are twisted, just like painting.
While Xu Changsheng wasn't paying attention, he let him mix one of them in.
These movable types are to be used as a template for Xujia Village.
One can imagine what happens when a weird font suddenly appears in a book.
After the countless books in Xu Changsheng's library shocked the entire Tang Dynasty, a mysterious incident occurred that left everyone puzzled. Why did Xu Jiazi write this word so strangely?Is there any deep meaning?
The mystery of the library.
Some people even simply wrote it according to the words in the book, which caused a small historical event.
Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.
Erdan hid private goods for herself, so excited that her little face turned red.
Letter engraving is not something that can be completed in a short time. They are engraving one by one according to Datang's "Shuowen Jiezi".
The ancient "Shuowen Jiezi" is different from the modern one, its characters appear without any rules.
Dictionaries are used to look up words, which is inconvenient.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng said, "If this "Shuowen Jiezi" is arranged according to the head of the word, it will be easier to search."
There were no letters in ancient times, and the rule could only be radicals, which were called heads in ancient times.
As soon as the words fell, Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he jumped up immediately, "Reordering "Shuowen Jiezi", this matter is my king."
Don't think he won't take advantage of it.
Xu Changsheng was stunned, so he just talked?
But reordering "Shuowen Jiezi" is a hard work, Li Tai can find something to do by himself, let him do it, it's better than start a political fight when nothing happens.
Li Tai was smiling, he decided to come here in the future to be more diligent, and to bother about making political achievements, he just came here and waited.
Don't underestimate the reordering of "Shuowen Jiezi", this is a far-reaching matter, and it must be praised by the literary world.
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai, but said nothing.
Compared with promoting cheap paper and live printing, Li Tai just picked up a little bit of sesame seeds.
His eyes couldn't help looking at Xu Changsheng who was serious about engraving, his eyes flashed, the general's talent was nothing more than that, I'm afraid there is no one who would not be attracted to the talent of Xu Jiazi, he had to... Watch carefully.
Today is bound to be endless, and Xu Changsheng has nothing to do, so he didn't find someone to engrave it, just to pass the time.
When he came to Chang'an, the most important thing was to make sure Li Chengqian didn't try to kill himself, so he was very free, and he didn't even care about the duties of the prince's secretary.
Erdan is going to prepare dinner.
But Xu Changsheng found that Er Dan was very strange today, even when he was cooking, he would come over to him from time to time to have a look.
He didn't know that Er Dan came over to see if the private goods he secretly stuffed were found.
Seeing that his writing was still in it, he went to cook again with a smile on his face.
Today's staple food is fish, braised fish, chopped pepper fish, and a few stir-fried dishes.
There aren't many dishes, but Li Tai's mouth is watering as always. This bastard is really unappealing. Sometimes I think he is stupid, but sometimes, he can make a big splash.
Not to be underestimated not to be underestimated.
Even Li Chengqian ate an extra bowl of rice. This fish is actually so delicious. It has a unique flavor and is very tasty.
Li Tai praised, "Damn, you are simply better than the imperial chef."
Er Dan was overjoyed, his small chest was straight, he learned from Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng said he was very talented, he was not stupid, the one who called him stupid before was stupid.
Said, "Next time I will make pickled fish for you to eat."
After speaking, he was taken aback again, as if they didn't have sauerkraut.
Datang actually has sauerkraut, but it is slightly different from what they make.
The sauerkraut they soaked by themselves will put more seasoning spices, which will have a hint of other rich flavors.
Erdan said, "Changsheng, let's make kimchi later, the kimchi I made is delicious."
Xu Changsheng nodded. When they were in Xujia Village, they made it themselves.
Many people probably don’t understand the joy of getting enough food and clothing by doing it yourself. Why do you have to do everything yourself when you are clearly ordered by servants?
Xu Changsheng can only say that he likes this way of life and feels very warm, nothing else.
Of course, not everything is done by myself, and sometimes people in the Prince's Mansion are asked to do some really troublesome things.
After eating, Erdan went to find the jar, and Xu Changsheng started to boil water and let it cool.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't leave, they insisted on watching them put the vegetables on the altar, next to the big jar of wine in the corner of the warehouse, and then left.
They have more stock in their warehouse, two jars of kimchi.
Although Li Tai and Li Chengqian didn't know how to make kimchi, Xu Changsheng and the others had the illusion that they must try it in the future.
the following few days.
Xu Changsheng and the others continued to study and transform paper and movable type printing.
Li Tai continued to be in a trance in the court, wandering around the world.
And when he went down to court, he ran very fast, as if there was something urgent every day.
A group of ministers were stunned.
When the king of Wei was in the court, he was not concentrated, so why did he feel like he had been beaten with chicken blood when he went to court?
And when King Wei left, he would always take a look at Li Chengqian, as if he had to leave earlier than Li Chengqian.
Baiguan: "..."
Are you not afraid that His Majesty will hate you?
What's even more bizarre is that Li Chengqian also left in a hurry, as if he was a little annoyed that Li Tai left earlier than him.
Weird phenomenon, what happened to King Wei and the prince?
What's even more weird is that the two of them still went to the same place, the Prince's Mansion.
Two political enemies, who wanted to fight every day, walked into the same mansion at once.
Li Shimin knew what to order, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
After coming down to court, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, and was fair to Pang De, "You have someone to investigate, the crown prince and King Wei stay together for a day when they go down to court, what are they doing?"
The prince and the king of Wei stay together for a day?
Judging by what he said, it seemed that they were not political enemies, but good brothers who were inseparable.
Who said it wasn't inseparable?The upper court is in one piece, and the lower court is still in one piece.
The corner of Eunuch Pang De's mouth twitched. He knew that the atmosphere in the court was very strange recently because of the unreasonable behavior of the crown prince and King Wei.
Answered, "Yes."
At the same time, the ministers of King Wei's family couldn't bear it anymore, "King Wei has been so absurd recently, what the hell is he doing?"
"He goes to the Prince's Mansion on time for meals every day, can he still go to eat?"
This is absolutely impossible, and he was so angry that he laughed.
"You can't go on like this. Your Majesty is clearly dissatisfied. I have carefully observed His Majesty's expression in court today. Every time I look at King Wei, I frown."
"In any case, let's find out first why King Wei is always out of his mind in the main hall recently, and why he went to the Prince's Mansion in high spirits after the court."
"I hope it's not some conspiracy by the Prince's Mansion."
It is strange enough that the ministers who support the king of Wei want to investigate the king of Wei.
……
Xu Changsheng is not only engaged in paper craft transformation and printing.
For example, now, he is going to visit Yan Wenshu, a doctor of etiquette, and Ouyang Xun, a doctor of calligraphy, who he used to be in the Imperial College.
His purpose is not pure, he is going to dig a corner.
Although the little old man Yan Wenshu is so rigid, it really hurts his liver...
But the meticulousness in etiquette is still awe-inspiring, even Xu Changsheng's wild monkey personality can be taught to be gentle.
In Xu Changsheng's mind, this is the most suitable dean in his academy, and Yan Wenshu's stern face is put on that side to see who dares to be disobedient.
Thinking of Yan Wenshu's serious face, Xu Changsheng can still tremble even now.
The sins he suffered when he was a child have to be felt by the students of his academy, this is the only way to pass it down.
Xu Changsheng dressed very formally today, meticulously, and checked several times before going out.
This is going to see old man Yan, he has to be serious, otherwise it will be bad if he is such an adult and is taught by old man Yan.
Meticulous steps, precise movements, decent Confucian robes, even the hair is tied neatly with a belt, and a simple hairpin is inserted. Both Erdan and Changbai were shocked when they saw it. Is it longevity?
Oh my god, where did such a standard little old-fashioned come from.
Changsheng, what happened today?
When Xu Changsheng went out, the people in the Prince's Mansion were also taken aback. When did a little gentleman come to the mansion?
Take a closer look, isn't this their boss?
Looking at each other in dismay, that young man who is beautiful, a little graceful and full of aristocratic air, actually has such a side?
Could it be a twin brother or something?
I heard that there are also twin brothers with very different personalities.
Holding a gift box, Xu Changsheng walked out of the Prince's Mansion amidst all the attention.
Ready to come to the Imperial College.
But when he asked, Xu Changsheng was a little surprised, "Dr. Yan is no longer teaching at the Imperial College?"
The gatekeeper replied, "I haven't been a doctor of Guozijian a few years ago. That person has an old-fashioned personality and doesn't know how to adapt. He has offended many powerful children. How can he be tolerated?"
Xu Changsheng frowned.
The gatekeeper continued, saying some things about how the little old man Yan Wenshu didn't know how to be flexible.
Xu Changsheng frowned even deeper, and said, "Courtesy is the rule of thumb. If you restrain yourself, return to the rituals. If you stick to the rituals, how can you be so rigid?"
No matter how you say it, old man Yan is also a teacher who taught him the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty meticulously, so that he can better integrate into the Tang Dynasty. How can a gatekeeper say that his teacher is wrong in front of him?
Of course, he didn't mean to argue with a gatekeeper.
Turn around and leave.
The gatekeeper was stunned. How could he be so old-fashioned? He actually had the same feeling as that old man Yan Wenshu.
It took Xu Changsheng some time to find Yan Wenshu's residence, which was an old mansion.
Xu Changsheng straightened his clothes and knocked on the door respectfully.
It was an old housekeeper who opened the door, "Young student, who are you looking for?"
Xu Changsheng quickly saluted, "Student Xu Changsheng, I'm here to pay my respects to the teacher."
The old butler was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help showing a happy expression on his face. The master has been educating people for so many years, but few students come to the door. This is the greatest humiliation to the master. I don't know how many people gossip behind his back.
So once the master's student came to the door, he would be very happy.
But does this young man seem a little too young? The master has not taught for many years, so there should be no such young students, right?
I was a little puzzled, but I couldn't help but be happy on my face, "Quick forward, fast forward, the master is in the mansion."
Xu Changsheng followed him in, and the old butler approached the room and shouted, "Master, your student... has come to see you."
What did the student say just now?I forgot about the excitement just now.
At this time, a meticulous old man walked out of the house. After more than ten years, he was still exactly the same rigorous.
Xu Changsheng was about to salute.
Yan Wenshu looked at Xu Changsheng with complicated eyes, "So many things happened once you came to Chang'an, have you forgotten what I taught you?"
Xu Changsheng was shocked, Yan Wenshu actually recognized him?
He himself knows how much his appearance has changed. I am afraid that Yan Wenshu has taught countless students, but he can recognize them at a glance?
Yan Wenshu confirmed Xu Changsheng. He judged people more by his behavior and habits. Although the young man in front of him looked meticulous and strictly followed etiquette, a master of etiquette like him could still see some differences.
This is a person who has the same laws and etiquette on the outside, but is extremely rampant on the inside, and even dares to challenge all conventions in the world.
He happened to know one such person, and only one.
Even in the past ten years, he will never forget that child who at the first glance gave people a feeling of being isolated from the world and not tolerated by all the rules and regulations of the world.
But people, if you come to this world for a while, how can you not integrate into the rituals and laws of this world?If this continues, there will only be one consequence.
Therefore, he did not show tolerance just because the other party was a child, but was even more severe.
Yan Wenshu's eyes were very complicated. He often thought that this child should be like everyone else, because of his strictness, he must have a grudge, but unexpectedly, he... actually came to see him.
He has taught so many students, but few come to see him.
Therefore, Yan Wenshu's eyes are particularly complicated.
Xu Changsheng hastened to "pretend" to salute, "Student Xu Changsheng has met the teacher."
Look, his etiquette is impeccable. I feel a little excited. Old man Yan must be proud of teaching such a well-behaved student.
But he didn't know that his face had already been clearly seen by others.
Yan Wenshu looked at Xu Changsheng for a while, and then said, "Come in."
Two people enter and take their seats in priority.
The old butler happily brought tea.
He knew that although the master looked very serious every time he saw the students, he was very happy every time.
Xu Changsheng said, "The student went to the Imperial College to look for the teacher just now, and learned that the teacher is at the residence, so he came here specially."
Yan Wenshu hummed without expressing any particular expression.
Xu Changsheng said again, "Seeing that the teacher is in good health, the students are relieved. The students have not left Xujia Village these years. It is a sin not to be able to visit the teacher."
Yan Wenshu hummed again, he also knew that Xu Jiazi had been recuperating in Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and handed the gift box to the butler next to him, "The students have prepared some small profits to thank the teacher for his teaching back then."
Yan Wenshu frowned, but did not refuse.
The old housekeeper took the gift box.
Xu Changsheng said some words of condolence.
It was he who was talking and Yan Wenshu was listening.
The corners of the old housekeeper's mouth were all smiles, he knew that the master liked to listen to the students talk about their experiences in this way.
Xu Changsheng is indeed saying that life on the mountain is ordinary, but it is also a lot of fun.
Xu Changsheng talked for a long time before Yan Wenshu asked a few words, "Is your academy finished?"
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up secretly, and he replied, "It's been built, but I just encountered some troubles."
Yan Wenshu frowned, "What's the trouble?"
Xu Changsheng replied, "It's just that I can't find a teacher to teach. The student's college is newly built, so there is no teacher willing to teach."
Yan Wenshu looked at Xu Changsheng suspiciously. Although he lived in seclusion, he still knew something about Chang'an.
Xu Jiazi's college is now undercurrents in Chang'an. I heard that for some reason, some people are secretly trying their best to get their children into this newly built college.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to find a gentleman who is willing to teach in the college.
When a teacher goes to the college, he will also look at the reputation of the college, and Xu Jiazi's college has not yet started enrolling students, and it has already had some reputation. In addition, with Xu Wenyuan as the finale, as long as Xu Jiazi comes to the door, maybe even some great Confucian scholars can be recruited.
So Yan Wenshu was very puzzled by what Xu Changsheng said.
Xu Changsheng complained a lot, then stood up respectfully and bowed, "So this time the student comes to the door, please ask the teacher to help the student no matter what."
Yan Wenshu became more and more puzzled, and said, "What's the matter?"
The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth turned up secretly, "The student academy is newly built, and it has no foundation. I also invite the teacher to come out of the mountain to support the students. It is hard work for the teacher to come to my academy to teach etiquette."
Yan Wenshu was stunned, so...Xu Jiazi came here to invite him to teach rites in his academy?
The old butler next to him almost lost the gift box in his hand. This student... Does this student not know why the master has been staying at home for so many years?
Yan Wenshu also frowned, "Since you have been to the Imperial College just now, if you know why the old man did not continue to teach in the Imperial College, you are not afraid that those powerful people will take their anger on you because of me?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Rigorous? Doesn't the teacher know that the student lives in the Prince's Mansion now?"
The people behind him, apart from His Majesty, are the biggest dignitaries. What are the other dignitaries in front of the Crown Prince of the East Palace?
Yan Wenshu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Everyone in the world knows about the relationship between Xu Jiazi and the crown prince, but no one dares to anger Xu Jiazi's academy because of this matter, but they have to be cautious.
Xu Changsheng said again, "The teacher should also know that King Wei once studied with me, and it is impossible to oppose me in terms of emotion and reason. What's more, King Wei seems to want to study with me again now."
Apart from His Majesty, the two biggest dignitaries in Datang are by his side, so is he afraid of others?
This is not more than ten years ago. Li Shimin was not long after he ascended the throne, and the situation is still uncertain.
For the sake of balance, Li Shimin would care about the power of the family.
It's different now, the entire Tang Dynasty has lived a good life under the leadership of the Li family, and the world is at heart. No one in the world will agree to any family that dares to make trouble with the royal family.
Yan Wenshu: "..."
Xu Changsheng said again, "Teacher doesn't know how beautiful my academy is..."
Xu Changsheng started his performance.
Yan Wenshu just looked at Xu Jiazi like this.
Whether the other party is sincere or not, he can still see it.
Yan Wenshu suddenly felt amused and relieved.
Unexpectedly, the student who didn't obey the rules of etiquette in his heart sincerely invited him to teach in the college.
Among his students, not all complained because of his sternness.
Xu Changsheng was still saying, "The teacher should know how hard the students were at the beginning, and only the teacher can control students like Changsheng, and in my new academy, there will be many children from my Xujia Village, and their tossing is stronger than the old ones." Longevity is better than ever, so in the academy, only gentlemen like teachers can control them."
Now that you have your own college, you know how troublesome the students are, so everything depends on you, old man Yan.
Yan Wenshu glanced at Xu Changsheng again, restrain him?
He only restrained his appearance, but his heart was still the wild student of the Xu family who dared to sweep the entire Imperial College.
Xu Changsheng saluted again, "So no matter what, please come out to help the students get over this difficult time."
The house fell silent.
The old housekeeper also looked at Yan Wenshu.
It can be said that the master was kicked out of the Guozijian by those dignitaries. Over the years, he has been ridiculed, saying that the master is not worthy of educating people, and even his own students feel resentful.
Although the master didn't respond to these voices, it was piercing his heart and spine.
Other academies also dare not let the master teach because they are afraid of those powerful people.
Now the master's students have come to invite the master to come out of the mountain so sincerely, and the news has spread, but they have to vent their anger for these years.
Therefore, the master must agree.
Then, Yan Wenshu shook his head, "The old man is getting old now, and he can't stand the trouble anymore, so let's forget it."
It is enough for his students to have this kind of heart, is it really because of him that his students are allowed to face those powerful people?
Although the identities of the crown prince and King Wei are unattainable, they have to walk their own way in the end, and it is impossible to rely on others for a lifetime.
Xu Changsheng was also taken aback, thinking, he's so old-fashioned, so old-fashioned, he's done everything he spit, and it's actually useless.
was about to say something.
Yan Wenshu said, "It's over here, you can leave on your own."
Xu Changsheng looked at Old Man Yan with a firm expression, and opened his mouth...
In the end, he had no choice but to cup his hands, "Then Changsheng will come to bother you next time."
Right now he
As for what he wants to understand, it is estimated that only he knows.
Li Tai: He has figured out a great technical problem, and he can't wait to go to Brother Changbai to discuss it immediately.
But a group of ministers who supported him were anxiously bald.
It also made Li Shimin very strange. His son has always behaved well, why is he suddenly so stupid?
At the same time, the Prince's Mansion has also been in trouble recently.
Gong'e and servants of the Prince's Mansion felt that they were going to be scared out of their wits all day long.
"Boom, boom, boom" sounded several times in their mansion.
This is not a big deal, if you listen to it for a few more days, and every time you go to investigate with fear, you can also bring back a large handful of sweet and toothless snacks.
Slowly force yourself to get used to it.
But they had just gotten used to the muffled thunder that rang at every turn, and something new happened that terrified them.
In broad daylight, the people in Ronghua Palace were actually performing vicious rituals.
Yes, they were definitely not mistaken, it was definitely an extremely evil witchcraft technique, which frightened a group of people in the Prince's Mansion to turn pale.
In the Ronghua Mansion, according to Chief Manager Zhou, that one is not his nephew, but the prince's secretary Lang of their Prince's Mansion, Xu Jiazi of Zhongshusheren, who is their immediate boss, is now in the courtyard, in broad daylight, with a mouthful A cauldron for boiling something extremely evil.
Looking into the pot, there are all kinds of things, rotting bark, sawdust, reeds, wheat straw...
How could a normal person suffer through this?It must be witchcraft.
The key is that the three people who boiled things showed evil smiles from time to time, which made people panic.
A group of servants who were so frightened that they were trembling while walking hurriedly ran to tell the chief manager Zhou, but the chief manager Zhou just gave them a look and told them not to cooperate if they had nothing to do.
Manager Zhou thought in his heart, how can these newcomers understand Xu Jiazi's magic?Sighed, I really don't know much, they were already numb with fright ten years ago, such as trapeze people, now this is nothing compared to that, what's the fuss?If these old people are knowledgeable, Xu Jiazi must be playing with his science again.
And a group of servants, Gong'e, felt that Chief Zhou was too calm?That's a voodoo technique to avoid.
Even Chief Manager Zhou didn't care, and ran to join in the fun for a while, seemingly very interested, and then ran away with bright eyes.
It's even more impossible for these subordinates to take care of the affairs of their immediate superiors. Although this boss, he doesn't seem to have done his own work in a day.
However, there is no need for the new officials to take office three fires, they are already scared to the ground.
Xu Changsheng, Erdan, and Brother Changbai are boiling the bark now, and they are very happy.
Xu Changsheng plans to build the most remarkable library in the Tang Dynasty in his college. What a great ideal this is. Even Er Dan and Brother Chang Bai felt proud when they heard this.
Only Xu Jiazi could say such a thing.
For a long time, the place with the largest collection of books in the Tang Dynasty must be the Hongwen Library.
The status of Hongwenguan students is even higher than that of Guozijian.
The best colleges in the Tang Dynasty were not Guozijian, but Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan. Most of them recruited the children of the imperial family, and the number was not many. They were the highest institutions in the Tang Dynasty.
But Changsheng said that they want to build the greatest and most comprehensive library in the Tang Dynasty. They absolutely believe that their collection of books will definitely surpass that of Hongwen Library and Chongwen Library.
Build a library, own full range of printed books.
The difficulty now is printing and expensive paper.
The circulation of books in the Tang Dynasty is not very extensive. The most important reason is that paper is too expensive, and it is impossible to print all books on a large scale.
I heard that someone got a good book alone, and scholars from all over the world would come to copy it themselves, instead of thinking about printing it widely.
Printing is not too difficult. You can use movable type to print, avoiding the problem that every book in woodblock printing must have a special woodblock.
But Xu Changsheng had to get the paper himself in order to save costs.
They are trying to make paper.
The process is not difficult, but you have to slowly try the proportions.
They are making pulp now, and they boiled a pot just now, but it is too thick and dark, and it looks scary.
Although the pot is not very good-looking, but the consistency is just right, so Er Dan and the others showed a strange smile in the eyes of others.
Erdan covered her nose, "Is it okay to live forever? I don't think other people's paper is like this, this one looks like poop."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
It made him sick.
What other people use is paper, but theirs is still pulp, and Erdan is too eager to get it done.
Xu Changsheng quickly poured out the pot of disgusting things.
He boiled the pot again, this time it must be much better, because there must have been too many reeds just now.
Reboil the water and add the ingredients.
This time, it really turned into a normal paste, which looks much better. The black particles, wheat stalks and the like can be filtered out.
Xu Changsheng's eyes sparkled, and he finally completed the first step of the material ratio experiment.
He wrote it all down in a notebook.
Erdan poked his head over again, and was about to speak when Xu Changsheng was afraid that he would say something serious, so he interrupted him quickly, "Derdan, play with mud while you're at it."
There is a pile of mud next to it, which is used to make movable type. After it is done, it will be transported back to Xujia Village to be fired to see the effect.
"Oh."
Erdan replied, but he really wanted to boil the bark with Changsheng.
Then he ran towards Xu Changsheng while making mud, and said some words that made Xu Changsheng "shocked to heaven".
Xu Changsheng and Brother Changbai are now washing and filtering the boiled pulp.
When they were drying the filtered pulp dryer, Li Chengqian actually came over.
What was rare was that Li Chengqian was actually a little anxious, "I heard from Director Zhou that you want to make very cheap paper?"
Just now Chief Manager Zhou came to see something strange, Xu Changsheng told him something, unexpectedly, Chief Manager Zhou ran away before finishing listening, probably looking for Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian hurried over after getting some news from Chief Manager Zhou.
In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Wenzhi and martial arts, in terms of martial arts, now the weapons of the Tang Dynasty are the best, and the horses are also the most durable. There is no problem in deterring the surrounding people.
However, there are obstacles in terms of civil governance. Paper is expensive in Luoyang, which is really expensive. If you want to promote education and let people in the world have more scholars who are sensible and sensible, they are stumped by the problem that Datang has no cheap paper.
Paper is too expensive for common people to use, so there is no talk of promoting cultural and political education.
As soon as Xu Changsheng said that he was making cheap paper, he rushed over immediately.
This is something that can affect scholars all over the world, and can affect the culture and education of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Xu Changsheng replied, "I haven't figured it out yet. I'm still doing experiments, but it's really worked out for me. At least ordinary people won't be unable to go to college because of expensive paper."
Ordinary people can't afford to go to college because of expensive paper?
How many more scholars will there be in the Tang Dynasty, what a prosperous and unprecedented scene it will be.
Before Li Chengqian could speak, Xu Changsheng said again, "Your Highness wants to promote culture and education? But has Your Highness thought about it, even if the price of paper comes down, how many colleges can accommodate so many students?"
How can it be so simple to promote culture and education? It also requires the construction of a large number of academies and teachers.
Li Chengqian nodded, he had indeed considered this issue, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, get out cheap paper first."
Things always have to be done step by step, and he didn't even think about doing it in one step.
Xu Changsheng nodded. No matter whether culture and education can be promoted on a large scale, at least it would be good to lower the price of paper.
Li Chengqian didn't leave either, just observed the process of making paper in the yard.
Xu Changsheng is in the trial stage, and it is impossible to succeed all at once. He first burns more pulp for experimentation.
When Li Tai came, he saw that Li Chengqian was actually there. Isn't Li Chengqian very busy?He came at meal time every day, and arrived later than him, why is it so early today?
When he entered the Prince's Mansion just now, he saw a group of servants' maids with pale faces. He was familiar with this scene. What fun is Xu Jiazi playing again?
When I hurried to Ronghua Hall, I saw this scene.
Li Tai quickly averted his eyes from Li Chengqian, his biggest opponent could not attract his attention at all now, and now he didn't care what Li Chengqian was doing all day.
Looking at Xu Changsheng, he saw a pot of very evil stuff boiling, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Before Xu Changsheng could answer, Er Dan, who was playing with mud, quickly raised his hand, "It's cooking..."
Before the words came out, Brother Changbai covered his mouth, for fear of saying something earth-shattering.
He said embarrassingly, "We are improving the process of making paper so that it can be made into cheaper paper."
Cheaper paper?
Li Tai was stunned. Recently, the court unanimously agreed to promote civil governance, but they were troubled by some problems, among which the cost of paper was the biggest problem.
And Xu Jiazi is actually making cheap paper?
Given Xu Jiazi's monstrous past, it's very likely that he really got it out.
Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian, this shameless person came to take advantage again, and it seemed that they had already talked about it.
Li Tai thought in his heart, it seems that he does not have the credit for promoting cheap paper, but this credit cannot be taken by Li Chengqian alone.
Li Tai stepped forward, "I'll cook this pot for you...what is this pot?"
He has no part in the promotion, so his name must be added to the transformation process, and he will also take advantage of it.
Xu Changsheng was about to refuse, but Li Tai drove Xu Changsheng away, "Let me do this kind of tiring work, Xu Jiazi pay attention to rest."
累活?
Isn't it just to fan the fire twice with a fan?
Seeing that Li Tai actually liked Li Tai so much, Xu Changsheng let him cook the pot, and he watched from the side, so as not to get confused.
Because the things in the pot have been fermented in advance, the taste is particularly sour.
The servants and Gong'e of the Prince's Mansion are so sure that this is the art of witchcraft, or they smell "evil" from a long distance.
Xu Changsheng was going to ask Brother Changbai to go to Xu's supermarket tomorrow to bring back some masks, and the smell was really uncomfortable.
Erdan was a little unhappy, it was obviously him who fanned the flames.
Blinking and running to Li Chengqian, "Do you like playing with mud?"
Xu Changsheng was stunned to watch Er Dan trick Li Chengqian into playing in the mud.
So, he said Er Dan is not stupid at all.
One of the dignified princes was playing with mud and the other was fanning the fire. If the court ministers saw him, Xu Changsheng felt that his head was not very stable.
Erdan was still fooling around, "Changsheng said this is called movable type printing, it's amazing."
Li Chengqian was indeed interested. Although Er Dan's words were messed up, he actually heard something from them.
Eyes lit up, moveable type printing?
It is possible to print different books on a large scale without having to engrave an edition for each book.
Li Tai was stunned, playing with mud and printing with movable type?
If it is promoted, wouldn't it be more convenient to print books in the future.
Did Li Chengqian find another bargain?
How could he have imagined that a kid playing with mud could hide such a skill.
His face was a little dark. In terms of picking up cheap, he was indeed inferior to Li Chengqian.
However, the cheap paper craft is also very impressive, let him focus on this.
Er Dan and Li Chengqian kept making mud with each other, making the corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitch.
These muds are not ordinary muds, they are muds that can be fired into a fixed shape. Xujia Village already has the craftsmanship of this thing, so they use ready-made ones, so there is no need to experiment.
Xu Changsheng looked at the extent of the mud being mixed, walked over, and said, "It's almost done, let's start making movable type."
In fact, it is to make small pieces, prepare a unified mold, ensure the same size as much as possible, and then engrave regular characters on it.
Xu Changsheng also came to help.
It didn't take long to get a bunch of them.
only……
Xu Changsheng took the small square carved by Erdan to one side, and the words on it were distorted like earthworms.
As a movable type template, the characters should be the most regular regular script, and Li Chengqian did a good job.
Er Dan is literate, and knows a lot, but his calligraphy can only be said to be quite true to Xu Changsheng's childhood.
After all, Erdan studied with Xu Changsheng since he was a child, and the twisted arcs are all the same. He is a good student.
Seeing that Xu Changsheng actually took out his engraved characters, Er Dan took a look, why?Look at how beautiful his words are twisted, just like painting.
While Xu Changsheng wasn't paying attention, he let him mix one of them in.
These movable types are to be used as a template for Xujia Village.
One can imagine what happens when a weird font suddenly appears in a book.
After the countless books in Xu Changsheng's library shocked the entire Tang Dynasty, a mysterious incident occurred that left everyone puzzled. Why did Xu Jiazi write this word so strangely?Is there any deep meaning?
The mystery of the library.
Some people even simply wrote it according to the words in the book, which caused a small historical event.
Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.
Erdan hid private goods for herself, so excited that her little face turned red.
Letter engraving is not something that can be completed in a short time. They are engraving one by one according to Datang's "Shuowen Jiezi".
The ancient "Shuowen Jiezi" is different from the modern one, its characters appear without any rules.
Dictionaries are used to look up words, which is inconvenient.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng said, "If this "Shuowen Jiezi" is arranged according to the head of the word, it will be easier to search."
There were no letters in ancient times, and the rule could only be radicals, which were called heads in ancient times.
As soon as the words fell, Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he jumped up immediately, "Reordering "Shuowen Jiezi", this matter is my king."
Don't think he won't take advantage of it.
Xu Changsheng was stunned, so he just talked?
But reordering "Shuowen Jiezi" is a hard work, Li Tai can find something to do by himself, let him do it, it's better than start a political fight when nothing happens.
Li Tai was smiling, he decided to come here in the future to be more diligent, and to bother about making political achievements, he just came here and waited.
Don't underestimate the reordering of "Shuowen Jiezi", this is a far-reaching matter, and it must be praised by the literary world.
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai, but said nothing.
Compared with promoting cheap paper and live printing, Li Tai just picked up a little bit of sesame seeds.
His eyes couldn't help looking at Xu Changsheng who was serious about engraving, his eyes flashed, the general's talent was nothing more than that, I'm afraid there is no one who would not be attracted to the talent of Xu Jiazi, he had to... Watch carefully.
Today is bound to be endless, and Xu Changsheng has nothing to do, so he didn't find someone to engrave it, just to pass the time.
When he came to Chang'an, the most important thing was to make sure Li Chengqian didn't try to kill himself, so he was very free, and he didn't even care about the duties of the prince's secretary.
Erdan is going to prepare dinner.
But Xu Changsheng found that Er Dan was very strange today, even when he was cooking, he would come over to him from time to time to have a look.
He didn't know that Er Dan came over to see if the private goods he secretly stuffed were found.
Seeing that his writing was still in it, he went to cook again with a smile on his face.
Today's staple food is fish, braised fish, chopped pepper fish, and a few stir-fried dishes.
There aren't many dishes, but Li Tai's mouth is watering as always. This bastard is really unappealing. Sometimes I think he is stupid, but sometimes, he can make a big splash.
Not to be underestimated not to be underestimated.
Even Li Chengqian ate an extra bowl of rice. This fish is actually so delicious. It has a unique flavor and is very tasty.
Li Tai praised, "Damn, you are simply better than the imperial chef."
Er Dan was overjoyed, his small chest was straight, he learned from Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng said he was very talented, he was not stupid, the one who called him stupid before was stupid.
Said, "Next time I will make pickled fish for you to eat."
After speaking, he was taken aback again, as if they didn't have sauerkraut.
Datang actually has sauerkraut, but it is slightly different from what they make.
The sauerkraut they soaked by themselves will put more seasoning spices, which will have a hint of other rich flavors.
Erdan said, "Changsheng, let's make kimchi later, the kimchi I made is delicious."
Xu Changsheng nodded. When they were in Xujia Village, they made it themselves.
Many people probably don’t understand the joy of getting enough food and clothing by doing it yourself. Why do you have to do everything yourself when you are clearly ordered by servants?
Xu Changsheng can only say that he likes this way of life and feels very warm, nothing else.
Of course, not everything is done by myself, and sometimes people in the Prince's Mansion are asked to do some really troublesome things.
After eating, Erdan went to find the jar, and Xu Changsheng started to boil water and let it cool.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't leave, they insisted on watching them put the vegetables on the altar, next to the big jar of wine in the corner of the warehouse, and then left.
They have more stock in their warehouse, two jars of kimchi.
Although Li Tai and Li Chengqian didn't know how to make kimchi, Xu Changsheng and the others had the illusion that they must try it in the future.
the following few days.
Xu Changsheng and the others continued to study and transform paper and movable type printing.
Li Tai continued to be in a trance in the court, wandering around the world.
And when he went down to court, he ran very fast, as if there was something urgent every day.
A group of ministers were stunned.
When the king of Wei was in the court, he was not concentrated, so why did he feel like he had been beaten with chicken blood when he went to court?
And when King Wei left, he would always take a look at Li Chengqian, as if he had to leave earlier than Li Chengqian.
Baiguan: "..."
Are you not afraid that His Majesty will hate you?
What's even more bizarre is that Li Chengqian also left in a hurry, as if he was a little annoyed that Li Tai left earlier than him.
Weird phenomenon, what happened to King Wei and the prince?
What's even more weird is that the two of them still went to the same place, the Prince's Mansion.
Two political enemies, who wanted to fight every day, walked into the same mansion at once.
Li Shimin knew what to order, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
After coming down to court, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, and was fair to Pang De, "You have someone to investigate, the crown prince and King Wei stay together for a day when they go down to court, what are they doing?"
The prince and the king of Wei stay together for a day?
Judging by what he said, it seemed that they were not political enemies, but good brothers who were inseparable.
Who said it wasn't inseparable?The upper court is in one piece, and the lower court is still in one piece.
The corner of Eunuch Pang De's mouth twitched. He knew that the atmosphere in the court was very strange recently because of the unreasonable behavior of the crown prince and King Wei.
Answered, "Yes."
At the same time, the ministers of King Wei's family couldn't bear it anymore, "King Wei has been so absurd recently, what the hell is he doing?"
"He goes to the Prince's Mansion on time for meals every day, can he still go to eat?"
This is absolutely impossible, and he was so angry that he laughed.
"You can't go on like this. Your Majesty is clearly dissatisfied. I have carefully observed His Majesty's expression in court today. Every time I look at King Wei, I frown."
"In any case, let's find out first why King Wei is always out of his mind in the main hall recently, and why he went to the Prince's Mansion in high spirits after the court."
"I hope it's not some conspiracy by the Prince's Mansion."
It is strange enough that the ministers who support the king of Wei want to investigate the king of Wei.
……
Xu Changsheng is not only engaged in paper craft transformation and printing.
For example, now, he is going to visit Yan Wenshu, a doctor of etiquette, and Ouyang Xun, a doctor of calligraphy, who he used to be in the Imperial College.
His purpose is not pure, he is going to dig a corner.
Although the little old man Yan Wenshu is so rigid, it really hurts his liver...
But the meticulousness in etiquette is still awe-inspiring, even Xu Changsheng's wild monkey personality can be taught to be gentle.
In Xu Changsheng's mind, this is the most suitable dean in his academy, and Yan Wenshu's stern face is put on that side to see who dares to be disobedient.
Thinking of Yan Wenshu's serious face, Xu Changsheng can still tremble even now.
The sins he suffered when he was a child have to be felt by the students of his academy, this is the only way to pass it down.
Xu Changsheng dressed very formally today, meticulously, and checked several times before going out.
This is going to see old man Yan, he has to be serious, otherwise it will be bad if he is such an adult and is taught by old man Yan.
Meticulous steps, precise movements, decent Confucian robes, even the hair is tied neatly with a belt, and a simple hairpin is inserted. Both Erdan and Changbai were shocked when they saw it. Is it longevity?
Oh my god, where did such a standard little old-fashioned come from.
Changsheng, what happened today?
When Xu Changsheng went out, the people in the Prince's Mansion were also taken aback. When did a little gentleman come to the mansion?
Take a closer look, isn't this their boss?
Looking at each other in dismay, that young man who is beautiful, a little graceful and full of aristocratic air, actually has such a side?
Could it be a twin brother or something?
I heard that there are also twin brothers with very different personalities.
Holding a gift box, Xu Changsheng walked out of the Prince's Mansion amidst all the attention.
Ready to come to the Imperial College.
But when he asked, Xu Changsheng was a little surprised, "Dr. Yan is no longer teaching at the Imperial College?"
The gatekeeper replied, "I haven't been a doctor of Guozijian a few years ago. That person has an old-fashioned personality and doesn't know how to adapt. He has offended many powerful children. How can he be tolerated?"
Xu Changsheng frowned.
The gatekeeper continued, saying some things about how the little old man Yan Wenshu didn't know how to be flexible.
Xu Changsheng frowned even deeper, and said, "Courtesy is the rule of thumb. If you restrain yourself, return to the rituals. If you stick to the rituals, how can you be so rigid?"
No matter how you say it, old man Yan is also a teacher who taught him the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty meticulously, so that he can better integrate into the Tang Dynasty. How can a gatekeeper say that his teacher is wrong in front of him?
Of course, he didn't mean to argue with a gatekeeper.
Turn around and leave.
The gatekeeper was stunned. How could he be so old-fashioned? He actually had the same feeling as that old man Yan Wenshu.
It took Xu Changsheng some time to find Yan Wenshu's residence, which was an old mansion.
Xu Changsheng straightened his clothes and knocked on the door respectfully.
It was an old housekeeper who opened the door, "Young student, who are you looking for?"
Xu Changsheng quickly saluted, "Student Xu Changsheng, I'm here to pay my respects to the teacher."
The old butler was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help showing a happy expression on his face. The master has been educating people for so many years, but few students come to the door. This is the greatest humiliation to the master. I don't know how many people gossip behind his back.
So once the master's student came to the door, he would be very happy.
But does this young man seem a little too young? The master has not taught for many years, so there should be no such young students, right?
I was a little puzzled, but I couldn't help but be happy on my face, "Quick forward, fast forward, the master is in the mansion."
Xu Changsheng followed him in, and the old butler approached the room and shouted, "Master, your student... has come to see you."
What did the student say just now?I forgot about the excitement just now.
At this time, a meticulous old man walked out of the house. After more than ten years, he was still exactly the same rigorous.
Xu Changsheng was about to salute.
Yan Wenshu looked at Xu Changsheng with complicated eyes, "So many things happened once you came to Chang'an, have you forgotten what I taught you?"
Xu Changsheng was shocked, Yan Wenshu actually recognized him?
He himself knows how much his appearance has changed. I am afraid that Yan Wenshu has taught countless students, but he can recognize them at a glance?
Yan Wenshu confirmed Xu Changsheng. He judged people more by his behavior and habits. Although the young man in front of him looked meticulous and strictly followed etiquette, a master of etiquette like him could still see some differences.
This is a person who has the same laws and etiquette on the outside, but is extremely rampant on the inside, and even dares to challenge all conventions in the world.
He happened to know one such person, and only one.
Even in the past ten years, he will never forget that child who at the first glance gave people a feeling of being isolated from the world and not tolerated by all the rules and regulations of the world.
But people, if you come to this world for a while, how can you not integrate into the rituals and laws of this world?If this continues, there will only be one consequence.
Therefore, he did not show tolerance just because the other party was a child, but was even more severe.
Yan Wenshu's eyes were very complicated. He often thought that this child should be like everyone else, because of his strictness, he must have a grudge, but unexpectedly, he... actually came to see him.
He has taught so many students, but few come to see him.
Therefore, Yan Wenshu's eyes are particularly complicated.
Xu Changsheng hastened to "pretend" to salute, "Student Xu Changsheng has met the teacher."
Look, his etiquette is impeccable. I feel a little excited. Old man Yan must be proud of teaching such a well-behaved student.
But he didn't know that his face had already been clearly seen by others.
Yan Wenshu looked at Xu Changsheng for a while, and then said, "Come in."
Two people enter and take their seats in priority.
The old butler happily brought tea.
He knew that although the master looked very serious every time he saw the students, he was very happy every time.
Xu Changsheng said, "The student went to the Imperial College to look for the teacher just now, and learned that the teacher is at the residence, so he came here specially."
Yan Wenshu hummed without expressing any particular expression.
Xu Changsheng said again, "Seeing that the teacher is in good health, the students are relieved. The students have not left Xujia Village these years. It is a sin not to be able to visit the teacher."
Yan Wenshu hummed again, he also knew that Xu Jiazi had been recuperating in Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and handed the gift box to the butler next to him, "The students have prepared some small profits to thank the teacher for his teaching back then."
Yan Wenshu frowned, but did not refuse.
The old housekeeper took the gift box.
Xu Changsheng said some words of condolence.
It was he who was talking and Yan Wenshu was listening.
The corners of the old housekeeper's mouth were all smiles, he knew that the master liked to listen to the students talk about their experiences in this way.
Xu Changsheng is indeed saying that life on the mountain is ordinary, but it is also a lot of fun.
Xu Changsheng talked for a long time before Yan Wenshu asked a few words, "Is your academy finished?"
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up secretly, and he replied, "It's been built, but I just encountered some troubles."
Yan Wenshu frowned, "What's the trouble?"
Xu Changsheng replied, "It's just that I can't find a teacher to teach. The student's college is newly built, so there is no teacher willing to teach."
Yan Wenshu looked at Xu Changsheng suspiciously. Although he lived in seclusion, he still knew something about Chang'an.
Xu Jiazi's college is now undercurrents in Chang'an. I heard that for some reason, some people are secretly trying their best to get their children into this newly built college.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to find a gentleman who is willing to teach in the college.
When a teacher goes to the college, he will also look at the reputation of the college, and Xu Jiazi's college has not yet started enrolling students, and it has already had some reputation. In addition, with Xu Wenyuan as the finale, as long as Xu Jiazi comes to the door, maybe even some great Confucian scholars can be recruited.
So Yan Wenshu was very puzzled by what Xu Changsheng said.
Xu Changsheng complained a lot, then stood up respectfully and bowed, "So this time the student comes to the door, please ask the teacher to help the student no matter what."
Yan Wenshu became more and more puzzled, and said, "What's the matter?"
The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth turned up secretly, "The student academy is newly built, and it has no foundation. I also invite the teacher to come out of the mountain to support the students. It is hard work for the teacher to come to my academy to teach etiquette."
Yan Wenshu was stunned, so...Xu Jiazi came here to invite him to teach rites in his academy?
The old butler next to him almost lost the gift box in his hand. This student... Does this student not know why the master has been staying at home for so many years?
Yan Wenshu also frowned, "Since you have been to the Imperial College just now, if you know why the old man did not continue to teach in the Imperial College, you are not afraid that those powerful people will take their anger on you because of me?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Rigorous? Doesn't the teacher know that the student lives in the Prince's Mansion now?"
The people behind him, apart from His Majesty, are the biggest dignitaries. What are the other dignitaries in front of the Crown Prince of the East Palace?
Yan Wenshu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Everyone in the world knows about the relationship between Xu Jiazi and the crown prince, but no one dares to anger Xu Jiazi's academy because of this matter, but they have to be cautious.
Xu Changsheng said again, "The teacher should also know that King Wei once studied with me, and it is impossible to oppose me in terms of emotion and reason. What's more, King Wei seems to want to study with me again now."
Apart from His Majesty, the two biggest dignitaries in Datang are by his side, so is he afraid of others?
This is not more than ten years ago. Li Shimin was not long after he ascended the throne, and the situation is still uncertain.
For the sake of balance, Li Shimin would care about the power of the family.
It's different now, the entire Tang Dynasty has lived a good life under the leadership of the Li family, and the world is at heart. No one in the world will agree to any family that dares to make trouble with the royal family.
Yan Wenshu: "..."
Xu Changsheng said again, "Teacher doesn't know how beautiful my academy is..."
Xu Changsheng started his performance.
Yan Wenshu just looked at Xu Jiazi like this.
Whether the other party is sincere or not, he can still see it.
Yan Wenshu suddenly felt amused and relieved.
Unexpectedly, the student who didn't obey the rules of etiquette in his heart sincerely invited him to teach in the college.
Among his students, not all complained because of his sternness.
Xu Changsheng was still saying, "The teacher should know how hard the students were at the beginning, and only the teacher can control students like Changsheng, and in my new academy, there will be many children from my Xujia Village, and their tossing is stronger than the old ones." Longevity is better than ever, so in the academy, only gentlemen like teachers can control them."
Now that you have your own college, you know how troublesome the students are, so everything depends on you, old man Yan.
Yan Wenshu glanced at Xu Changsheng again, restrain him?
He only restrained his appearance, but his heart was still the wild student of the Xu family who dared to sweep the entire Imperial College.
Xu Changsheng saluted again, "So no matter what, please come out to help the students get over this difficult time."
The house fell silent.
The old housekeeper also looked at Yan Wenshu.
It can be said that the master was kicked out of the Guozijian by those dignitaries. Over the years, he has been ridiculed, saying that the master is not worthy of educating people, and even his own students feel resentful.
Although the master didn't respond to these voices, it was piercing his heart and spine.
Other academies also dare not let the master teach because they are afraid of those powerful people.
Now the master's students have come to invite the master to come out of the mountain so sincerely, and the news has spread, but they have to vent their anger for these years.
Therefore, the master must agree.
Then, Yan Wenshu shook his head, "The old man is getting old now, and he can't stand the trouble anymore, so let's forget it."
It is enough for his students to have this kind of heart, is it really because of him that his students are allowed to face those powerful people?
Although the identities of the crown prince and King Wei are unattainable, they have to walk their own way in the end, and it is impossible to rely on others for a lifetime.
Xu Changsheng was also taken aback, thinking, he's so old-fashioned, so old-fashioned, he's done everything he spit, and it's actually useless.
was about to say something.
Yan Wenshu said, "It's over here, you can leave on your own."
Xu Changsheng looked at Old Man Yan with a firm expression, and opened his mouth...
In the end, he had no choice but to cup his hands, "Then Changsheng will come to bother you next time."
Right now he
