Chapter 57: The Great Confucian Enters the Palace
Leng Feng could have killed this guy with a single face, but the confirmation of what Li Jing said to his master made him a little confused, and he really wanted to figure out his thoughts.
The cold front did not attack, but used his body and unloading force to maneuver around the enemy.
It wasn't until he felt that the technique of unloading was re-practiced that Leng Feng flashed behind this warrior and slapped the back of his head hard!
The cold front of this table leg used dark energy, and this time he pulled down, and the sound of bone cracking and the breaking of the table leg sounded at the same time.
Leng Feng didn't look at whether the fallen person was still alive, threw aside the half-cut table leg, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Li Jing poured a cup of tea for Leng Feng and said with a smile: "The landlord's martial arts skills are really superb. ”
Leng Feng sat back on the stool and said to Li Jing: "I just felt something, it seems that I have grasped something, and it seems that I have only caught a wisp of breeze, I want to go back to Chang'an, the situation in the grassland will not be a big problem with you." I left you the two teams of swift and rapid, and when your class teacher returns to the court, I will set up a banquet downstairs to entertain you. ”
Li Jing smiled: "It's a good thing to have feelings, and I also hope to see another martial arts master appear." Now that the living forces of the southern part of the Eastern Turks have been wiped out, all that remains is to expand the territory. I'll be back in half a year at the latest. ”
"Half a year?"
Leng Feng glanced at Li Jing, didn't he win the battle? Why do you want to stay here for half a year?
"The agreement reached between Tang Jian and the Western Turks is that the southern part of the Eastern Turks will belong to us, and the northern part will belong to them. Since they did not send troops to the south, they must have gone to attack the northern part of the Eastern Turks. Now the Eastern Turks have become the meat of two tigers to bite together, and whoever uses a little more force can eat an extra piece. But if the tiger's beak touches together......"
"It's time for two tigers to think about the meat in each other's mouths."
Leng Feng nodded, arched his hand to Li Jing, and dragged Li Ke towards the snow.
When the Tang army encountered the Western Turkic army, most of them were confrontations, fighting mouths, and it was estimated that they would not be able to fight.
Every dispatch of the army can be said to be a waste of money and labor, and Li Shimin's resolute dispatch of troops to conquer the Eastern Turks under the condition of weak national strength this time is not only to expand the territory, but also to deter.
There is nothing more deterrent to the surrounding areas than the destruction of the country, the internal disputes after the death of the Eastern Turk Jieli, and the late winter and early spring when the soldiers and horses are weakened, such an opportunity, even if the national strength is weak, it is worth fighting!
This kind of analysis should be taught to Li Chengqian, what the ruler needs most is the overall situation, and his father Li Shimin's overall situation is very good, and he finally won the title of "Heavenly Khan".
But at this time, Li Chengqian didn't have time to learn this, and he and his younger brother Li Tai were busy pouring tea for more than 100 old guys.
Unreasonable! In the past, the Confucian scholars who were ashamed of the imperial court, sneered at being officials, and only buried their heads in learning heard that the imperial court had invented a machine for rapid printing of books, and then met together to block the gate of the palace, asking for a saint, and it was Yao Silian who was pushed to the head.
Who is Yao Silian? The old minister who has gone through three dynasties is also one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, and the relationship with Li Shimin is the best in this group of Confucians.
Li Shimin ascended the throne, Yao Silian did not agree to be an official, but just took the title of "Prince Xian Ma", and shrank at home all day to compile history books.
More than 100 respected Confucians blocked the door and asked for a saint, this is a big deal, Li Shimin, who was holding a court meeting in Taiji Palace, hurriedly led hundreds of officials to walk to the gate of the palace to greet them.
In the face of these great Confucians, Li Shimin will not serve the emperor's shelf, welcome the great Confucians into the palace, and set up a seat in the Taiji Palace to pour tea and entertain them.
Yao Silian, as the leader of this time, didn't drink tea, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the general supervisor has made a machine for printing books, and just dozens of them are running together, and they can make thousands of books a day, but is there such a thing?" ”
Li Shimin nodded: "This is true, this thing was conceived by the owner of the downstairs in the world, and the prince drew a picture, and the production of the supervisor was improved." It is an exaggeration to print more than 10,000 per day, although the machine runs fast, but the paper is too brittle and fragile, and it can be bound into a book only if it is printed beautifully and impermeable. In one day, you can make a book of five hundred. ”
Yao Silian also thinks that 10,000 per day is a fantasy, but 500 is already a big number!
"Your Majesty, the article is eternal, how many predecessors of my predecessors in China will be lost because of their scarcity! Besides, educating the world is our lifelong wish, and the grass people just want to ask if this printing machine can be passed on! ”
Han Chongwen, a teacher in the "Caotang Shuju" of Kaimingfang, the children of ordinary people can go to school in his place, and the tuition fee is just some grain and wild vegetables. Any Chang'an person who sees him will respectfully call him "Mr. Caotang".
Li Shimin also admired this old gentleman very much, so he arched his hand in his seat and said: "Mr. Caotang is a respected Confucian, who educates all the people, and the spirit of leading the way is also a model for us. It's just that this machine can't be passed on, but even if it is a spread, how many people can make it? ”
The big Confucians in the audience all bowed their heads and were annoyed, yes! The literate craftsmen will be the ones who will be the prisoners all over the world, and only the master craftsmen who will be the supervisors can engrave and print books.
The slogan of "educating the people" has been shouted for thousands of years, but now, there are still many illiterate people, Han Chongwen bowed down to teach the people children to read and write, and those children are the smartest, and they can only memorize five or six words a day.
The collision between the fiery dream and the cold reality is the most heartbreaking, and many Confucians burst into tears.
Li Shimin instructed the chamberlain to give handkerchiefs to the weeping Confucians, and then took out one small wooden block after another half an inch thick, three inches wide, and five inches high, and laid out a triangle on the table.
The great Confucians are puzzled, they don't know what the emperor is doing, can these wooden blocks solve our troubles?
Li Shimin pointed to the triangle on the table and said: "This is called pushing cards, it is a way to play in the world's high-end gambling house, of course, what I introduce to you is not gambling, but a truth it contains." ”
After speaking, Li Shimin knocked down a wooden block at the top of the triangle, and the fallen wooden block knocked down two pieces on the second layer, and two pieces knocked down four pieces......
When all the wooden blocks fell, Yao Silian got up!
"I see! I get it! ”
An old Confucian sitting next to Yao Silian hurriedly pulled Yao Silian's sleeve and asked, "What do you see?" ”
Yao Silian walked up to Li Shimin without any courtesy, picked up the first wooden block and said, "This is me!" ”
After speaking, he picked up the two wooden blocks on the second layer and said, "These are my two apprentices!" ”
"These are my four apprentices!"
"It may take five years for me to teach two people to read, but my two apprentices will teach two more people each, and after ten years, I will have six more literate people in the world!"
