Chapter 74: Chang'an Paper is Expensive

"Prizes?"

Li Shimin glanced at Lao Yuan, and Lao Yuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat...... Damn, forgot to announce the prizes!

The matter has come to this point, Lao Yuan can only make a circle:

"Ahem...... It's negligent, and I hope you don't mind. Give a prize, is the 'clothing, food, housing and transportation', this robe is Persian cashmere material, Chang'an cloth workshop retired master made an exception to make it himself, wear it no matter how cold the weather is like a spring day. Ten days ago, one of the prizes for the piano was 'Xing', which was a carriage made by the master craftsman, even though the mountain road was rough. ”

Han Chongwen said with a smile: "Since the prize given is a cashmere robe, it is impossible to divide it into two halves and give it to Dr. Wei and the owner of the cold building. There is a proposal below, I don't know if I should talk about it or not! ”

Li Shimin said: "Mr. Han, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! ”

Han Chongwen walked to Leng Feng's "A Fang Gongfu", pointed to Leng Feng's handwriting and said: "Although this kind of calligraphy is unheard of, it seems to be immersive when I look at it, and I don't dare to look at it deeply now." It can be seen that this calligraphy is also everyone's work, why doesn't Your Majesty give one of the prizes of the 'book' to the landlord? ”

Having said this, Lu Zhengyang stopped doing it, stood up and pointed at Han Chongwen and said: "What Han Fuzi said is unfair, as we all know, calligraphy originated in the Qin Dynasty, Taishan stone carvings are the originators of calligraphy, although the calligraphy of the landlord is good, but how can it be comparable to Taishan stone carvings!" ”

"No, no, no......" Du Ruhui pressed Lu Zhengyang's hand down: "Master Lu, with all due respect, although the book written by the wanderer in your clan is learned from the stone carvings of Mount Tai, but it is only in vain. Moreover, although Mount Tai stone carving is the originator of calligraphy in the world, it cannot be called the first in the world. Blindly imitating the past and forgetting the present, the head of the Lu family still didn't understand the "Reverse Current Fu" of Fang Xiang! ”

After speaking, Du Ruhui said to the full house: "I just want to ask: When everyone here sees the calligraphy of the landlord, do you have the feeling of stabbing your eyes with the breath of a sword?" ”

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and laughed: "Not to mention the sword breath stinging the eyes, the old man is in it, as if he is on the battlefield, and he is scared into a cold sweat!" ”

Wang Jue also laughed: "It's not just Song Guogong who is scared of cold sweat!" The old man was also shocked! Looking at this calligraphy, it is as if the enemy soldiers broke through the camp and waved their knives to force the old man to repeat the past! ”

Li Gang said: "Only 'words like knives' can describe the calligraphy of the landlord!" Watching calligraphy and like being there, indulging in it and unable to extricate himself, the old man only appreciated Wang Xi's true works in the mansion of Zhao Guogong when he had this feeling, and the rest was not enough. ”

Li Gang is an old minister of the Sui Dynasty, and he has always been known for his uprightness, since he said so, it is tantamount to making a conclusion! No matter how angry Lu Zhengyang is, he has nothing to say.

But what Li Gang said made Leng Feng embarrassed, who is Wang Xizhi? The famous "Book Saint", no matter how good his handwriting is, it can't be compared!

Han Chongwen said with a smile: "That is the case, the shopkeeper of Yuan ......"

Lao Yuan immediately announced: "The prize of calligraphy is 'live', Your Majesty amnesty, and the winner of calligraphy can change his own courtyard without complying with the system!" ”

Scold! Not following the establishment! This award is much more affordable! In this era of strict hierarchy, a person has no corresponding identity, the courtyard area of the home cannot be too large, the width of the door, the height of the threshold, and the number of nails on the door are all standardized.

If you look at Chang'an City from a distance, there is no building that is taller than the palace. Because the palace is the place with the highest scale of establishment, if the buildings in other places are higher than the palace, a charge of "great disrespect" cannot be escaped!

Leng Feng had just entered Chang'an and opened up two mansions, and he was almost questioned by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, if it weren't for Li Shimin's words, Leng Feng would have been put in a shackle and exiled for 3,000 miles.

Leng Feng was also very happy to hear this powerful news, as long as there is cement, building a tall building is not a delusion, the academy is just that, if you don't build a higher floor, it will not be good if there are more students!

Li Cheng stood up and said: "It's still early today, Qiyi can still compete, why don't you announce what prizes are there for the 'food'?" ”

Lao Yuan waved his hand, and immediately a soldier of the forbidden army brought in the chessboard and put the chess pieces into the chessboard one by one.

After the chessboard pieces were placed, Lao Yuan said: "The prize of 'food' is naturally not ordinary food, but ancestral blood food. Your Majesty's pardon! The winner of chess can worship the head of the ox when sacrificing to the ancestors! Of course, there's only one chance! ”

"Offering a bull's head!?" Li Cheng almost jumped up, Tang Law stipulates that it is not allowed to slaughter cultivated cattle without authorization, so when they worship their ancestors, the three animals of ancient rites: "pigs", "cattle", and "sheep" have never been gathered over the years, and even the royal family, when they do not encounter cattle that have died of illness, they can only replace them with other things.

The five surnames and seven hopes care most about inheritance, and they also care most about ancestor worship, and the annual ancestor worship activities are the most grand among all clans.

If your family can put a bull's head on the Qingming Festival to worship your ancestors, what a glory it should be!

Li Cheng was still in Y-Y, but Zheng Yan and Wang Xian had already sat on both sides of the chessboard, pinching the chess pieces with red eyes, looking at the opponent as if they were looking at the enemy of life and death!

Fang Xuanling and others were also very moved, worshipping ancestors from the emperor to the common people is a big thing, although the head of the family with five surnames and seven hopes is red-eyed, they are not to be outdone, the original elegant competition broke out with the smell of gunpowder......

……

Everyone in the gambling house was in full swing, and the people reading outside the world were also busy sweating!

The two "A Fang Gong Fu" are tied for the first place in "Fu", which is affirmed by many Confucians! How could Yawen not copy a copy of it!

Therefore, the first to transcribe the reader stood on the table and read aloud, and countless literati were lying on the wall or lying on the ground to copy, and the scene was spectacular!

Generally, the emperor's participation in it will attract the attention of the courtiers and the people.

The news that the scholars outside the world indecently copied the double "A Fang Gong Fu" spread far and wide, and for a while, all literate people flocked to the world to borrow and copy, and Xiudefang was almost crowded!

Go together, Leng Feng didn't know at all, and when he left with Li Chengqian, he was blinded by Wei Zheng several times, as if it was a serious matter if he didn't know how to go!

Damn it! If you have the ability, you can compete with me in backgammon!

Leng Feng wanted to say this, but he still walked away, and those who are good at playing Go are estimated to be good at playing backgammon.

Thinking like this, Li Chengqian pulled Leng Feng's sleeve, Leng Feng raised his head and saw the scene of countless people outside lying on the ground copying!

"This ...... This ......"

Lao Li hurriedly ran over from the backyard and said to Leng Feng: "Owner, now many people in Chang'an have poured into Xiudefang to copy your and Dr. Wei's "A Fang Gongfu", and the paper in the paper shop is almost gone. Some paper shops have taken the opportunity to increase the price by four or five times, but the supply is still in short supply! We have a lot of paper in reserve for the Scholar Pavilion, should we take the opportunity to sell it at a high price? ”

Leng Feng was completely dumbfounded, he had only heard of "Luoyang Paper Expensive" caused by Zuo Si's "Sandu Fu" in Jin Shi before, but he didn't expect that now in Chang'an because of the two "A Fang Gong Fu", it also attracted "Chang'an Paper Expensive"!

Leng Feng immediately shook his head: "Don't sell, send!" Don't be reluctant to pay this money, this is a good opportunity for us to go downstairs to brush up our prestige! The flying pigeon passed a message to Li Sanniu, asking the boat gang to buy paper from nearby prefectures and counties and send it back to Chang'an, and we will continue until the end of this craze! ”

Lao Li is happy, it turns out that his own owner is a good businessman! How much money can you make selling paper! Taking advantage of the rising price of Chang'an paper, this is a good opportunity to make a name for the world!

Seeing Lao Li leave with a smile on his face, Leng Feng smiled bitterly as he listened to the voice of reciting "A Fang Gong Fu" loudly outside, and said to Li Chengqian: "Go to the prison and let them print "A Fang Gong Fu"!" The reading materials such as "The Analects" and "Shuowen Jie Zi" ordered by your father were used as textbooks, and they did not make money if they lost money, so we will also help your father earn some money by taking advantage of this boom. ”

Li Chengqian pointed to the flooded street outside and smiled bitterly: "How can I be imprisoned?" ”

……

In the palace, Liu Shuwen is showing off her diamond necklace with the queen.

The diamond was faceted by the cold front, and it sparkles as soon as it sees the light.

The queen was envious of Liu Shuwen, and said with emotion: "You are a good fate, you met a man who loves you, he is downstairs in the world, singing love songs in front of you in front of so many Confucians, although I am not present, I can feel what a shocking scene it is!" ”

Liu Shuwen blushed when she mentioned this matter, and said cowardly: "He said that he would marry me when he had long hair and waist, I secretly pulled it last night, and it is estimated that it will take a few months to grow to the waist." Sister Queen, you got married at the age of thirteen, and you have a successor at the age of sixteen, and I am now twenty years old......"

The queen took Liu Shuwen's hand and said with emotion: "It's not all a good thing to get married early, I already have a wind disease, and I often relapse after giving birth to Chengqian and Qingque." The Imperial Doctor said that giving birth to a child is the most exhausting thing, but it is my duty to raise an heir for His Majesty......"

talked about giving birth to a child, which made Liu Shuwen's face blush like a red apple.

Fortunately, the queen's personal maid broke the siege in time and entered the palace to report to Li Xiaogong for a meeting.

Liu Shuwen hurriedly got up and retreated to the apse and sat at the same table with the queen, but it was disrespectful! When there are two people, you can be presumptuous, if there are outsiders, it is better to retreat.

The door of the palace opened, Li Xiaogong walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Queen Mother, something is wrong!" ”

The queen smiled and said: "The king of the county is joking, you are also a famous general, why did you come to the palace to shout something big?" ”

Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty went downstairs to participate in the gambling meeting, Wei Zheng's old man and the owner of the downstairs in the world 'A Fang Gong Fu's "A Fang Gong Fu" shocked the four, and people of insight in Chang'an did not wait to be released, so they rushed to record it!" Now Xiudefang is overcrowded, and I am afraid that Your Majesty's safety is in danger! ”

The queen thought for a while before saying: "The world is the territory of the owner of the world building, and with him by his side, His Majesty's safety is not a problem." But it's not a problem for Xiude Fang to be blocked! ”

Li Xiaogong said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is not in the palace, please ask the queen to make an edict and order Jin Wuwei to lead the crowd." ”
