For these few booklets, Lao Zhao tracing and carving day and night, and it would take at least half a month to complete them all.

There are already a lot of standard wooden planks in the house, and this time it is no longer the size of a piece of paper, Zhang Yuan has made people laugh at the wooden boards of four sheets of paper, and it is always more convenient to wait for the printing to be cut again.

Zhang Yuan heard that some smart people had begun to imitate themselves, and they also carved words on wooden boards, and then dyed and printed them, but the resulting font was either not adsorbed by ink at all, and it was easy to scatter.

Otherwise, they would have glued it and couldn't even tear off the paper, and of course they might have succeeded if they had chosen to carve it into Yin characters, but in the end it was just a bit of waste ink, and a whole page of black paper was not easy to read.

Because Princess Pingyang has never lowered the price of paper, and even because Taixue is about to open, there are more scholars in Chang'an City, and Princess Pingyang also ordered to increase the price of paper by 30%.

This move made those literati complain, but there was no way to do business, and the royal people would not discuss it with others.

After explaining everything to Lao Zhao, and asking him to carve it all, he took a sample and sent it to Du County, and Zhang Yuan left early the next morning.

When he arrived in Chang'an City, he immediately sent the recital he had written at home into the palace, and seeing that many officials were still using bamboo slips, Zhang Yuan spontaneously felt a sense of superiority in his heart.

This sense of superiority is not because he is richer than other officials, but because he sees that these officials have money but dare not spend it.

If you want to say that these officials can't afford paper, let alone Zhang Yuan, don't believe it, it is estimated that Liu Che will not believe it, but before the price of paper drops, these officials will probably write a piece of music on the bamboo slips for a period of time in order to show their integrity.

The chapter was handed over, and the next thing was to wait for Liu Che to contribute money and efforts to the construction of Taixue.

In the past few years, the treasury and the royal family's own inner treasury have been called a pot, and building a Taixue is nothing.

Sure enough, not long after Zhang Yuan's piece was handed over, Liu Che wrote a quasi-word on it.

And also asked Shaofu to order Chu Da to fully cooperate with Zhang Yuan to build Taixue.

When Chu Da came with someone holding a large plate of miniatures of Taixue, Zhang Yuan was also amazed at the high efficiency of those craftsmen.

"How long has it been since the models were ready?"

"Ah Yuan, do you really think those people have re-made it, these are all cobbled together from other palace models.

It looks like as long as it conforms to the system, it is not ugly. ”

Hearing Chu Da's explanation, Zhang Yuan also understood in his heart.

There are only a few architectural styles in this era, and Taixue, as the highest institution of learning in the country, naturally has to follow the specifications of the palace.

Just copy a few of the side halls of Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace, in short, it can't be more luxurious than Jianzhang Palace.

"Okay, let's build the temple like this, and I'll think about how to get the landscape of the rest of the place."

"Okay, I'll let Shanglin Yuan order to go to Du County with the craftsman and materials.

It should not be too troublesome to build, and it only takes half a year to use the framework of the original building. ”

"Half a year?"

"For half a year, that's fast."

Zhang Yuan thought that it took a year or two to complete all the places in his home, and it would take a lifetime for these emperors to use tens of thousands of manpower to build their own mausoleums, and it was indeed not too much for Taixue to spend only half a year.

"Okay, anyway, I'll leave all this to Brother Chu, and I'll go home and wait quietly for Taixue to be completed."

Chu Da patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder, looking like he had handed it all over to me.

The most valuable thing in this era is materials and manpower, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of cutting corners.

There is no big problem with a palace that can be used for hundreds of years, so as long as this Taixue can last for a period of time, let itself gradually become rich, and then expand and renovate, it can be passed on forever.

What Zhang Yuan can do is to separate Taixue from the court, hoping to take a good start.

Time can easily pass in this state, when one puts all one's energy into one thing, or when the person has no purpose and lives a messy life every day.

Zhang Yuan is the latter, completely emptying himself, not caring about anything, the whole brain is only left with the function of nodding and shaking his head, and by the way, the function of opening his mouth to eat.

Half a year has passed, and Dahan has ushered in the three years of Yuanguang under Liu Che's rule.

Zhang Yuan was wrapped in thick animal fur and watched the ice and snow melt and everything began to recover.

It was at this time that Chu Da sent someone to say that Taixue had been completed, and Zhang Yuan woke up from the numbness of the shaking spirit.

It's time to get down to business.

"Old Zhao Beima."

"Whoa."

Zhang Yuan did not travel alone this time, but brought more than a dozen young people from his family to the age of sixteen.

Even if you can't go to Taixue, it's a good thing to stay there all the time, and it's not easy for Xiaoqing's cultural level to teach these children to read.

Galloping on the snow, although it is very cold, but the heart is comfortable, holding back the old time at home, feeling the outside air, making people feel that the whole heart will be opened.

When he arrived in Du County, Zhang Yuan found that this place had undergone earth-shaking changes since he first came.

The weeds and weeds that grow on the edge of the city are all clear, and the city is also popular.

In the end, Liu Che did not approve the return of the former people of Du County to live, which he felt was very bad for his image.

But on the one hand, in order to protect his own face, on the other hand, he really felt that the existence of Shanglin Yuan made the life of the people not very convenient, so the emperor decided to follow the ancient system.

The people who built Taixue all stayed in Du County, and then moved all their families here.

Originally, several major families in Du County also moved back.

At this moment, Du County became a city with a population of tens of thousands.

Now that the ice and snow had begun to melt and Taixue had been completed, the men put down their hammers and picked up their hoes, and began to work on the land assigned to them by the Du County Order.

This year is a heavy snowfall, and the land has not been planted with any crops for many years, so as long as these people work hard, they will definitely get a good harvest this autumn.

Zhang Yuan rode a horse and prepared to take these boys into the city, but he didn't expect that a city guard appeared at the gate of the city.

Zhang Yuan didn't think there was anything strange about this, so he rode his horse and planned to rush in directly, but he was stopped.
