Chapter 213: Printing

In the middle of the night, the wind and bamboo knock on the autumn rhyme, and the thousands of leaves and thousands of voices are hate. In this late autumn season, the courtyard wanders, and the sycamore leaves are full www.biquge.info of raindrops.

Autumn has passed, winter has arrived, the leaves have fallen, and the world is slaughtered.

Luo Zhaoyun recuperated at home for more than a month, and on this day, his pure day was finally broken, because a holy decree came from the palace, and he was invited to the palace for an audience.

He wore a brocade robe, his eyebrows were clear, he was heroic and straight, and he rode on a horse, followed by thirty warriors, escorted to Miyagi, these people were his personal guards.

When they arrived at the square in front of the imperial city, all these saber guards stopped, and they were not qualified to enter the imperial city, and even the horses had to stay outside.

After Luo Zhaoyun dismounted, he tidied up his robes, showed the waist card to the palace guards, and then entered the imperial city.

This is not the palace where the emperor works, but the hall where he usually rests, rests, and nourishes his heart, and Emperor Yang of Sui called him here, naturally he has his plans, and he doesn't want the news to leak out.

After all, when I go to the office, I seem to attach great importance to it, entrust it with heavy responsibilities, and do business. In Anren Palace, there is a taste of gentleness and pampering.

"Wechen knocks on Your Majesty!" Luo Zhaoyun gave a great gift to the palace monarchs and ministers.

Yang Guang saw that his complexion had recovered well, and there was no major problem, so he nodded slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Get up without courtesy, give me a seat!" ”

The civil and military generals of this era still retain a kind of dignity as a courtier, and they have not been kneeling and talking like the ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is too servile.

Luo Zhaoyun knelt on the rectangular futon, not knowing what Emperor Yang of Sui had summoned him, so he could only wait silently for the other party to mention it.

Emperor Yang of Sui asked slowly: "Luo Cheng, how is your injury, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's injuries have recovered seventy percent, and it will not affect his actions." ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty nodded, and after a polite sentence, he went straight to the point and said: "These days, you have not gone to the early court, you are recuperating at home, and you can't know many major events and decrees issued by the imperial court, one of which is related to you, is the imperial examination system, I will overcome all difficulties, carry it out, and set up the township examination, the provincial examination, the meeting examination, the palace examination, etc., but I now have a problem, let Confucianism move down and implement it to the cold door, but it is not something that can be done by talking, the most important point is that the poor family has no money, and the books are expensive, and the people do not have so many collections, Let the people see all kinds of knowledge, this imperial examination, there are not a few talents in the poor family at all, isn't this very effective? ”

Luo Zhaoyun heard this, only then did he understand that today he passed himself into the palace, in fact, there is a problem that he wants to solve, since the rebellion of Yongjia in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Jin royal family moved south, and the culture is also the same, and later the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, etc. were established, mostly under the rule of the Hu people, and did not pay much attention to Confucianism, etc., and even once appeared Huhua and de-Sinicization, until the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian and others, the Han surname was restored, and the surname Hu was used before, and the nobles were like this, so it can be seen that the fault line of folk culture is even more powerful.

In addition to the fact that this is closely related to the war, there is also the lag in the circulation of books, hand-copied, wooden tablets, etc., which is too laborious and hinders the spread.

Luo Zhaoyun thought of these, and suddenly had an idea, thinking of printing, which can solve this difficulty, the reason why the literature of the Song Dynasty was developed was related to the popularization and promotion of printing, when the people had a lot of books, culture really reached the grassroots level.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister has an idea." Luo Zhaoyun gave advice.

"Oh, what idea? Let's hear about it. Yang Guang's face was happy and asked with concern.

Luo Zhaoyun replied: "First of all, the imperial court will determine the bibliography and scope of scientific research as official teaching materials, and then print a large number of books, reduce the cost of books, and popularize them to the poor family, so that the grassroots Han scholars can come into contact with talents and scholars, break the cultural monopoly of the aristocracy, and in the meantime, talents are bound to spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and will emerge in endlessly." ”

Yang Guang heard him say novel and reasonable, and nodded again and again, but there were also doubts and asked: "What is a printed book, and the current books of the Great Sui are all hand-copied?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun has studied history, but also knows the history of the development of printing, in fact, in ancient China, the Warring States period appeared, just a small area of seals, did not think of printing books, until the middle of the Tang Dynasty appeared engraving printing, in the late Tang Dynasty was widely used, to the Northern Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, greater progress.

He smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty's jade seal and seal, can you print words?" ”

Yang Guang was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously said, "Of course." ”

Luo Zhaoyun continued: "If Your Majesty finds a craftsman, carves a wooden board full of antibodies, brushes with ink clay, and then puts the blank paper on it, you can keep repeating the printing, a wooden board, enough to print thousands of times, the imperial court is ready for a winter, and in the spring of the next year, you can print scientific research books in large quantities, and limit the purchase and sale in the capital, prefectures and counties, and take the family as a unit. ”

"Wonderful!" Emperor Yang of Sui slapped the table, his smile was exaggerated, and he was happy, this plan instantly solved the problem in his heart, and it was still a cultural downward movement, or a major event in the Spring and Autumn Period. (To be continued.) )
