"Brother Zhao, it's not Wei who picks bones in eggs. That said "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", with the glyph as the index, each word must explain its meaning, only collected more than 10,000 words, it has been as high as fifteen volumes, each volume is also divided into two parts, it is extremely troublesome to carry! Your "Primary School Dictionary" has one more word and sound than "Shuowen Jie Zi", and you want to make the sound, shape, and meaning correspond. You meant it to be convenient...... Don't pull me, I'm asking Brother Yongzhao for advice! After the banquet, a certain bar spirit was revealed again, pulling Zhang Qian to chatter.

"Gangjing, Gangjing, the other guests are gone, let's not leave, wait for the city gate to close, see how you enter the city?" Mu Nanfeng pulled Wei Dao's arm, his white forehead was full of beads of sweat, "Besides, Brother Zhao's talent is ten times that of you and me, the questions you can think of, he must have already thought of them." ”

"South Wind, this is a big fallacy!" Wei Dao unceremoniously broke free from his pull, and drunkenly retorted: "As the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool must gain a thousand thoughts." It is true that Brother Zhao is ten times more talented than Wei someone, but he may not be able to think about everything. ”

"Then there's no need to rush to say it today." Mu Nanfeng dragged him still, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, "Brother Zhao said that compiling a dictionary is a matter of the next year." At that time, you will display them one by one and discuss them with everyone face-to-face. ”

"After a year, how can Wei guarantee that he still remembers these?" Wei Dao tilted his head and rolled his eyelids at him, "Besides, if you don't say anything, it's like a fish in your throat." From now to the first month of the year, wouldn't Wei be held back from the problem? ”

"You ask, you ask, it's better to ask until dark, and then live here with Brother Yongzhao!" Mu Nanfeng was helpless, so he had to hold his arms and taunt beside him.

"Then why not? It just so happens that I can ask Brother Yongzhao for more advice. Wei Dao shook his head indifferently, and then, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted Zhang Qianxing, who sent the guests out, "Don't blame Brother Zhao, if you don't say it, the younger brother will be uncomfortable." There are a total of thirty volumes of "Shuowen Jie Zi", which is already very troublesome to carry. Your "Primary School Dictionary" will presumably only exceed its number of words, not less than its number of words. If it is as high as fifty or sixty volumes, wouldn't it be contrary to your original intention of providing convenience for the world's readers?! ”

"Brother Tsunajing has seen the account books used in the store?" Knowing that Wei Dao didn't have any bad intentions, but he was born to like to argue with others, Zhang Qian smiled and told the truth about his idea, "It is indeed very troublesome to carry a roll. So the dictionary is prepared to be like an account book, divided into pages, each of which is the same size as the bronze plate you see today, with page numbers written in the lower corners, and then bound with twine. In this way, if the characters are printed a little smaller, the dictionary can almost be two bricks thick. Find a bag and take it with you. ”

In another time and space, the invention of thread-bound books is unknown, but it was already popular in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, there was no technical difficulty in making a thread-bound book, and it was already possible to find a prototype in daily life.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Qian took out the prototype of the account book, Wei Dao immediately realized. "With Brother Zhao's great talent, this method can be thought of! This time, Wei can finally go back to sleep with peace of mind. Immediately, he quickly turned his face to Mu Nanfeng, and asked with a smile, "A few words, but it dragged on until dark?" Zi said, the morning said, it is okay to die at night. Although you and I are not ancients, we have no confusion in our hearts, so we can sleep peacefully. ”

"Yes, you have a point, you will always have a point!" Mu Nanfeng didn't have the strength to argue with him, let alone the courage to entangle with him, so he pursed his lips and turned to run towards his mount.

"Brother Nanfeng's words are different. It's not that Wei is always reasonable, but that the reason is there, and Wei will go there! But Wei Dao refused to let him go easily, swayed and chased after him, turned over and jumped on his own mount. Zi said, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Choose the good and follow it, and choose the bad and change it. If I hold the words in my stomach and don't ask, how can I know whether they are good or bad? ”

While speaking, people and horses have already gone far away, but there are still voices that continue to come along the wind, "Zi said: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, is knowing also?" If I don't ask, how can I know? If you don't know it, you will mistake yourself. If I don't know, but people think I know, then both men and ourselves ......are wrong."

"This person speaks and acts, but he also has a bit of Platonic style, but I don't know why he didn't leave a name in history?" Zhang Qian listened interestingly, looking at the back in the sunset and nodded gently.

After thinking about it, it may not be that Wei Dao has not left any traces in history, maybe it is just that this person's name has not been written in the textbook, or it is not a compulsory content of the exam, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

is like a Confucian boss like Bi Gou, and he can't find the slightest trace in his memory. And Lu Zangyong, who had been ignored by him, he could remember it now. The reason is not how well this person's article is written and how good his ability is, but the surname Lu's surname is directly related to the idiom "shortcut to the south".

With a little bit of alcohol, I thought that after the successful compilation of the "Primary School Dictionary", Wei Dao and Mu Nanfeng would definitely be famous in the annals of history because they participated in the compilation work. And Wang Han and Wang Zhilian's career will be much smoother than that of them in another time and space in his memory, and there is a sense of satisfaction that has changed history, which arises spontaneously in Zhang Qian's heart.

After all, I still changed some people and things, although the inertia of history is so heavy, the little changes I made have a negligible impact on history. However, no matter what, I didn't come to this trip in vain, at least, I let the fate of the people around me get better and better.

It's a pity that this smoky feeling only lasted until he returned to the main hall, and then disappeared. Zhang Ruoxu, who had forgotten the New Year, specially stayed in the main hall, and was waiting for him while drinking sobering tea. At the first glance of seeing him again, the old man stood up and said with a smile: "Yongzhao, there is one thing that the old man forgot to tell you just now. After the old man has spring, he wants to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. I can't be involved in the compilation of elementary school dictionaries. Please also use Zhao not to blame the old man for being lazy and refusing to stay to help you. ”

"Uncle Shi, where did this come from? Is there something wrong with the younger generation that snubbs you to be old? If there is, please forgive Uncle Shi! Zhang Qian was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, his heart was so sour in an instant.

Since the first day of acquaintance, Zhang Ruoxu has treated him as a junior. And through the chrysanthemum feast, together with He Zhizhang, he was officially introduced to Bi Gou and Zhang Shuo. At the same time, he had the opportunity to intersect with Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Xu, Wang Zhilian, Wang Han and others, and for the first time, he had a sense of belonging to Datang. For the first time, I thought of myself as a real Tang Dynasty person.

Even, even his acquaintance with Yang Qingxin is related to Zhang Ruoxu. And the last few times he has passed the news with Yang Qingxun is also through Zhang Ruoxu's daughter. To a certain extent, the old man Zhang Ruoxu is like an anchor point, allowing Zhang Qian, a small boat floating in the long river of time and space, to finally find a berth. And now, just as Zhang Qian was ready to show his strength and give the old man something in return within his ability, the old man planned to leave!

"Nonsense, how can you snub the old man?" Zhang Ruoxu responded, coming from the other side, with seven points of relief and three points of regret, "With Zhao's respect for the old man, the old man can feel it." With the meaning of Zhao Ti bringing the old man back out, the old man can also feel it. But the old man is not Bo Gao (Zhang Xu), Ji Ling (Wang Zhilian) and Ziyu (Wang Han), the oldest of the three of them, is the same age as you. And the old man is nearly half a hundred years old. As the saying goes, thirty is married without marriage, and forty is not married......"

"Uncle Shi, you are not forty years old, you were originally the commander of the folding. Besides, Lian Po was over 70 years old in the past, and he could still get on the horse and fight! "I'm sure it's not because I behaved too complacently and made the old man angry, Zhang Qian's mood was a little better. hurriedly put on a smiling face and begged in a low voice, "Besides, you should be able to see that there is not even a person around the younger generation who has an idea." If you refuse to go out of the mountain for the rest of your life, the younger secretary, I'm afraid you will have to let Xian in less than a year! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how can you curse yourself like that? Yong Zhao is a person with great talent and great luck, and sooner or later he will be in and out of the phase, what does the secretary and young supervisor calculate? Zhang Ruoxu frowned when he heard this, and said decisively, "Besides, if you want to find someone to come up with ideas, you can't find an old man." The old man was just a mere soldier who joined the army, and when the lieutenant was a servant, the false position given by the imperial court could not be taken seriously at all. If you are just a county magistrate, the old man will be a friend of you, and you can still do it reluctantly. With your current position, if the old man gives you another idea, I am afraid that he will not succeed in ten schemes, but it will be tantamount to deliberately harming you! ”

"Uncle Shi, don't be humble, the idea you helped me with before is just right every time." Zhang Qian was unwilling to let the other party go, and simply opened his eyes and said nonsense. "Besides, I don't want to ask you to be a friend this time, but I want to invite you to join the secretary and supervisor to assist Senior He in presiding over the compilation of the dictionary. Although the matter of compiling the dictionary is not too big, Senior He will definitely not be busy alone. And Bo Gao (Zhang Xu), Ji Ling (Wang Zhilian) and Ziyu (Wang Han) are younger after all. ”

Zhang Ruoxu resolutely refused to agree, smiled, and shook his head lightly, "The old man has a few catties and a few taels, and the old man himself knows." What's more, the old man took the initiative to resign because he knew that he was not suitable to be an official. If you accept your invitation and re-emerge, you will inevitably be laughed at by your colleagues back then. And if others know about the relationship between the two of us, they will also impeach you for cronyism. ”

"With Zhao, you don't have to persuade again. The old man really took you as a junior, so he told you in advance, so as not to feel disappointed in your heart after leaving! "I'm afraid that Zhang Qian will continue to beg endlessly, and I'm even more worried that I won't be able to hold it before I become famous and rich, so before Zhang Qian can speak, the old man quickly added, "Besides, the old man is not Ji Weng (He Zhizhang), he is open-minded by nature and doesn't care about anything." Shut up when it's time to shut up. If the old man becomes an official, even if he is a nine-grade school scholar, he will inevitably shout a few times when he encounters something unpleasant. At that time, in case the old man is degraded for thousands of miles, this old bone will have to be explained on the road. It's better to guard the false position of a lieutenant, and finally get out of the way! ”

"Uncle Shi, then you don't have to go back to your hometown!" Hearing Zhang Ruoxu's attitude so resolute, Zhang Qian couldn't force him out to be an official. Picking up the teapot with his own hands, he poured a cup of tea for the other party first, then pressed the other party back to his seat, and finally, in a negotiated tone, slowly persuaded, "You can only participate in the compilation of dictionaries, and not come out to be an official." The younger generation promises that no one will force you to grow old after that. And our dictionary, although it is called primary school, may become one of the essential tools for the world after enlightenment. If you and He's predecessors become editors-in-chief, even after a thousand years, I am afraid that the world will not forget the names and surnames of the two. The younger generation knows that you have high ambitions and are not greedy for fame and wealth. But in life, you have to leave a trace. Otherwise, when future generations mention that you are old, you can't say anything except the words "suave and suave", isn't it a pity! ”

This is a bit ambiguous. In another time and space, "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" resounded in the poetry world, who mentioned Tang poetry and Song lyrics, can be bypassed? Who has ever cared that Zhang Ruoxu married a lot of beautiful concubines, and he was still nostalgic for flowers when he was young?

However, Zhang Qian knew that he was ambiguous when he said this, but Zhang Ruoxu himself did not know that his reputation in the future would be so loud. Hearing the evaluation of the words "suave and suave", and then thinking about the absurdity of his youth, his old face suddenly became a little hot. After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, you have a point." The old man went to give Ji Weng a shot. However, the old man told you in advance, don't fight the idea of bringing the old man back out, otherwise, you are tantamount to hurting the old man! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, if you're old, when have the younger generations ever been the wind on the sidelines?" Zhang Qian's heart was stoned, and finally landed. He patted his chest and gasped for reassurance.

"Don't you have less time to be a deaf ear? How many times has the old man told you, unfilial piety is great! But you took a three-year contract to prevaricate the old man! Zhang Ruoxu rolled his eyelids disdainfully, but he knew that there were some words, and it was useless to say them himself. Shaking his head again, he took the initiative to change the topic, "The old man was still a little worried that you were rising too fast and unstable, and wanted to persuade you to build your own team as soon as possible, but now that you have started to do it, the old man is not talking much." ”

"It's not a team, Uncle Shi, you think highly of me!" When Zhang Qian heard this, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand again, "Bo Gao, Ziyu and Ji Ling, their talents are all above me." It's an honor to be able to pull them to do something together. In addition, their talents should not be buried in vain, and the younger generations just have some opportunities at hand, of course, they should be remembered first. ”

"Really?" Zhang Ruoxu pinched Zhang Qian with his eyelids and asked with a smile.

"At least half of it is sincere!" Zhang Qian's face was slightly red, and he nodded sheepishly.

"Half sincere, it's also very good!" Zhang Ruoxu also smiled and praised in a low voice, "If others carry them, I'm afraid they will be tied to their carriages for the rest of their lives." In fact, the temperament of the three of them is not very suitable for officials, at least not for serving in Chang'an. Otherwise, Long Weng (Bi Gou) and Zhang Shilang (Zhang Shuo) have met so many talents at the chrysanthemum banquet, and they will not be blind to you alone! ”

Knowing that Zhang Qian definitely didn't understand, he smiled, and quickly lowered his voice again, "Being talented and being an official are completely different things." Zi Yu, Bo Gao and Ji Ling are all too angular. Local officials are in trouble, and when they are in trouble, they are at most like old men and go home. And as officials in Chang'an, if they get involved in any whirlpool, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get out of the way! ”

"Ahh Suddenly, there was some regret.

Zhang Ruoxu saw it, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. Hurriedly waved his hand and added with a smile, "The old man just said the worst-case scenario, after all, even if you are just a nine-grade school scholar in Chang'an, it is better than being a hundred miles outside." What's more, they still have you, the young eunuch, on their heads to protect them from the wind and rain. (Note: Bailihou refers to the county order.) ）

"The juniors can only say that they try their best, and if they really encounter big trouble, they may not be able to cover it!" Zhang Qian's heart was weak when he heard this, and he responded in a cold sweat.

This is the disadvantage of knowing the general direction of history in advance, but not knowing it! He only knew that Li Xian died at the hands of Empress Wei, and then Empress Wei died in a coup d'état. After the coup d'état, Li Dan, the prime minister, became emperor for the second time. Later, a few years later, the Tang Emperor became Li Longji again. But how did the forces in the specific middle fight openly and secretly, and who was on which team at that time? Who colluded with whom? Who hit whom? But I don't know it.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Zhang Ruoxu mention the word "whirlpool", he was shocked. And how to get out of the whirlpool, or stay away from the whirlpool, at the moment, he has no idea in his heart.

When Zhang Ruoxu saw him like this, he thought he was deliberately pretending to be pitiful. couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "If you can't cover it, you have to cover it, who told you to pull a few of them out?!" In short, in the future, no matter who they are in danger, the old man will ask you. ”

"Uncle Shi has an order, the younger generation dare not obey!" Zhang Qian didn't want to disappoint the other party, hesitated for a moment, and made a request with a smile. "It's just that Uncle Shi, you have to ......"

"I told you, don't beat the old man's idea. The old man is already fifty years old, and his fame has long been drunk with wine! Zhang Ruoxu had long been guarding against him from bargaining, and interrupted without hesitation, "However, the old man can take a look and see if he can help you find a suitable friend." The old man's hometown of Yangzhou has produced many powerful people. Although they are no longer in the court, their former friends may not be willing to become idle clouds and wild cranes! ”

"In this way, thank you Uncle Shi!" When Zhang Qian heard this, he hurriedly thanked him. However, in my heart, I was even more reluctant to let go of Zhang Ruoxu.

The other party may really be as he said, nine out of ten schemes. But the other party has one thing that can't be compared to any other behind-the-scenes friend, that is, the old man really treats Zhang Qian as his junior. As long as Zhang Ruoxu is still by his side as a neighbor, Zhang Qian feels more confident, and can be reminded by his elders anytime and anywhere.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea, and added with a smile: "Uncle Shi doesn't want to go out of the mountain, and the little nephew will definitely not be reluctant." But there is one thing, but Uncle Shi has to come out. ”

"What's the matter, you tell me first, let's hear about it!" Zhang Ruoxu was very vigilant, and immediately responded with a smile, "If you can do it, the old man will naturally not prevaricate you." If the old man can't do it, don't think that the old man is deliberately not helping you. ”

With this promise, Zhang Qian was already satisfied, and immediately gave the answer with a smile, "Elementary school." Buddhism compensated the younger generation for four Zen monasteries and four Buddha fields of 2,000 acres each. The younger generation gave one of them to the people along with the Buddha field, and the other two temples together with the Buddha field to the Holy Lord. The last monastery was in Weinan, and the younger generation converted it into a primary school, preparing to use the tenant rent of the Buddha field to provide for the school's expenses. Nowadays, the primary school is lacking a principal, and the younger generations themselves are not enough to take on this position, and they do not have time to take care of the school too much. So, please Uncle Shi, you must do the younger generation this favor! ”

"Elementary school? Are you going to open a school to spread your Qin Mo knowledge to the world? Zhang Ruoxu neither immediately agreed, nor immediately refused, but frowned and asked in a low voice.

"No, Uncle Shi, don't get me wrong!" Zhang Qian didn't think about it, so he shook his head into a rattle, "The reason why it is called a primary school is that it only teaches literacy, arithmetic, and the basic principles of life." Let children who have read books be able to easily avoid being deceived by others when they grow up in the future. If it can make the children who have read the book can increase a little compassion for the common people in the future and have a little empathy for their kind, they will be overjoyed. Others, the younger generations really don't dare to ask too much for the time being! ”

"Teach only literacy, arithmetic, and the basics of being a human being?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian set the goal of running the school so low, Zhang Ruoxu hesitated and repeated in a low voice.

"If Buddhism compensates the younger generation, the younger generation accepts it, and it is suspected that it is not coming from the right way. refused, and cheapened the monk again. I came up with such an idea! Knowing his identity as a disciple of Qin Mo, running a school is easy to attract misunderstandings, Zhang Qian thought about it, and explained with a smile, "The younger generation thinks that one more school in the world may not be able to make Datang one more pillar." However, one less monastery in the world can reduce the number of fools by hundreds! ”

"This ......" Zhang Ruoxu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the wine on his whole body was instantly swept away.

…………

"Shengshang, Zhang Qianwei opened a private school in Weinan and wanted to ask the saint to give him a name." In the imperial study room on the right side of the Zichen Palace, Gao Yanfu, the general of the prison gate, took advantage of Li Xian's happy mood and bowed his body and whispered.

"Well, Academy, do you still want to ask me for a name? I remember! General Gao, he asked you to beg me, but did he give you benefits? Li Xian frowned and asked in a somewhat joking tone.

"Holy Wisdom, he did give!" Gao Yanfu was not afraid, smiled, and responded loudly, "He got four monasteries and eight thousand acres of fields from the hands of Buddhism!" On the day when the old slave went to deliver the decree, he asked the old slave to dedicate the two monasteries and the field to the saint. A temple and a field were given to the old slave to do errands! ”

"Huh?" Li Xian was stunned, and then remembered that he had received a thank you gift from the other party as early as the day when he gave Zhang Qian the founding son. Immediately felt a little embarrassed, smiled, and continued to ask: "What about the last temple, did he keep it himself, or did he give it to someone else?" ”

"The last monastery, he is going to take it out as a school, and use the tenant rent of the Buddha field to bind the gentlemen." Gao Yanfu was prepared, and continued to add with a smile, "The reason why the old slave dared to ask the saint to give the name of the school on his behalf is not because he received his benefits. It's because he once said a few words to the old slave at that time. ”

"What?" Li Xian's interest was immediately hooked, and his eyes widened to get to the bottom of it.

He said that one more school in the world may not make Datang one more pillar. But it can reduce hundreds of fools! Gao Yanfu put away his smile and relayed it very seriously, "He also said that if one day, there are more schools in the world than temples and various temples, then the rule of saints can be expected!" ”
