Chapter 1259: August Guixiang
It's August, a season of fragrant osmanthus.
The temperature in Beijing turns from hot and sultry to cool, and the clothes of pedestrians on the streets are mainly long-sleeved, and scholars seem to like this kind of day the most, and many scholars go to the suburbs for autumn outings.
Although there are not many trees in the city, many of them are low-rise trees, and most of them are in the back garden of the rich family. If you want to enjoy the autumn breeze and the fallen leaves, the forest is dyed, and you naturally have to run outside the city.
Located in the northwest of the city, the maple leaves of Xiangshan and Daxi Mountain are dyed red, and Yong'an Temple is extremely effective, attracting many talented and beautiful people and pilgrims.
The city of Beijing always presents a dull scene, far from being as splendid as in later generations, and in these days, the court has not made too many waves.
Seeing that the reconstruction of the three major halls was about to be completed, Jiajing decided to re-record a copy and store it elsewhere in view of the lesson that the "Yongle Grand Canon" was almost destroyed by fire, and issued an edict to re-record this canon in the Ministry of Rites.
After receiving the order, Yan Ne, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, summoned more than 100 people including the Confucian minister Cheng Daonan and ordered them to make entries in the history museum.
In the first year of Yongle, the majestic Yongle Emperor was determined to build a masterpiece to demonstrate the prestige of the country. Its purpose is "all the books of the book since the deed of the scriptures and history, as for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, monks, and skills, the compilation is a book, not tired of the vastness!" ”。
Initially, Xie Jin presided over the compilation, with 147 participants, and a year later completed the "Literature Dacheng", but after Zhu Di read it personally, he found that most of the books were the words of the Confucian family, and he was very dissatisfied.
So he once again appointed Yao Guangxiao, who was proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other schools, to serve as the supervisor, and at the same time the compilation team expanded to 2,196 people (with a cumulative number of more than 3,000 participants), so that the fifth year of Yongle was finalized, and the whole book was officially completed in the sixth year of Yongle.
Zhu Di personally wrote the preface and gave the name "Yongle Dadian", a total of 22,877 volumes, 11,095 volumes, and about 370 million words.
370 million words, even for the era of millions of words in later generations, this is an unattainable number of words.
In this era, there was no keyboard input, let alone photocopying technology, and every word in it had to be written slowly by a person through a brush.
Since this is a royal collection, it is natural for the copyists to be carefully selected, and the words must be carefully compared one by one, which is undoubtedly an extremely cumbersome project.
However, it has always been the case, and the will of the above is greater than the sky, so many people have to pay hard work and sweat for this work, and this work falls on the shoulders of more than 100 people such as Confucian minister Cheng Daonan.
What makes people feel helpless is that such a great wealth of knowledge is still stored in the royal library, and it has no intention of taking it out to preach to the world.
However, the world does not seem to complain about this, preferring diamonds in the Four Books and Five Classics, and obsessed with the imperial examination.
This year's Shuntianfu Academy examination went smoothly, and many scholars have completed the identity transformation from children to students, and have even received the admission notice of Guozijian.
It is worth mentioning that most of the proportion of this batch of new students has just passed the government examination this year. But I don't know if they are stained with Lin Haoran's good luck, or Lin Haoran's discernment.
It's just that no matter what, with the birth of this group of new students who follow Lin Haoran as teachers and students, this is undoubtedly conducive to Lin Haoran's prestige and popularity in Shuntian Mansion.
Shuntian Mansion Ya, in the signing room.
Lin Haoran, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, sat at the table, and there was a stack of tall official documents on the table, and his handsome face looked quite majestic. He was working on an official job while listening to the work report of a middle-aged official wearing a six-rank official uniform.
Lin Haoran used his actual work ability to win the respect of the entire Shuntian Mansion, and all the officials were already obedient to him, the Shuntian Mansion Yin.
In addition to Lin Haoran's super ability, it is also convincing to know how to make good use of people. He promoted a number of scribes to important positions, and these people showed their talents and were always able to get things done.
It is under the leadership of Lin Haoran that not only has all the affairs of the Shuntian Mansion become orderly, but also the efficiency of the entire Yamen has been directly improved several times compared with before, and the Shuntian Mansion is now like an efficient machine.
At present, we are in the period of sowing, and there is no need for the government to intervene too much, so the affairs are relatively less.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the Shuncheon Prefecture decided to organize a grand lantern festival in the area of the Drum Tower after discussion by several important officials.
After seeing the effect of a certain treasure Double 11 activity, Lin Haoran knew that this kind of event can not only bring joy to the people, but also promote the economic benefits of the Drum Tower area.
Unlike those officials who shy away from talking about money, Lin Haoran is willing to do something to stimulate the economy. Therefore, he has already begun to unite with businesses, and even advertises in "Shuncheon Daily", wanting to hold a lantern festival that the people of Shuncheon Mansion will never forget.
After he laid out some of the statutes, he naturally could not do it himself, but left the specific affairs to the officials below.
Hu Lin, the general judge in charge of the sacrifice and other activities, took over the specific work of setting off the lights, and was reporting on the procurement of fireworks, the setting of the fireworks location, and the timing of the fireworks.
After Hu Lin finished reporting the matter, Lin Haoran sat there in a distraction, and after calling twice, he saw Lin Haoran come back to his senses, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Lord Fu Yin, are you ...... You okay? ”
Lin Haoran's eyelids just now jumped, which made him suddenly feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, he always felt that something bad had happened, and he couldn't help but think about it for a while, and immediately took the initiative to apologize when he came back to his senses: "I'm sorry, I just got distracted!" ”
Facing Lord Fu Yin's apology, Hu Lin could only smile bitterly.
Lin Haoran no longer thought about the reason for the uneasiness in his heart, let alone bothered about the affairs of the court, so he said gently: "Hu Tongjuan, you go on!" ”
It's just that as soon as the words fell, I saw Hu Tongju's constipated face, knowing that they had finished reporting the matter.
Lin Haoran took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment, and immediately told seriously: "Hu Tongju, you can make up your mind on everything!" However, this Fu Yin hopes that while it is grand, it must do its best in safety work and closely do a good job in fire prevention! If there is a mess this time, not only will we be punished, but we will definitely not be able to do it again next year, and the people may not have the opportunity to experience such a grand occasion in their lives. ”
"Dare to ask, this is the original intention of the adult's move to this lantern festival?" Hu Lin's face was slightly straight, and he looked at Lin Haoran seriously and asked.
