Papermaking and printing contributed greatly to the popularization of education, and the reason why China was able to lead the world for a thousand years in the Middle Ages was due to these two magic weapons. Now that Pei Gai had mastered the insights of later generations, he would of course improve papermaking – mainly to reduce costs – and "invent" printing as soon as he had the opportunity.

Engraving printing is actually not complicated, theoretically it will be produced after one or two hundred years, and it began to be popular in the Tang Dynasty. Complicated and difficult is movable type printing, which was first invented by Bi Sheng in the Song Dynasty, but Bi Sheng has been a carving worker all his life, and with the genius of his genius, the wooden movable type still lacks universal applicability, so it is annihilated. How could Pei Gai himself have the ability to invent it in advance with enough mental head? I had to tell the engraving craftsmen about their ideas, and let them explore them on their own.

So far, however, there has been little light in sight.

Dong Jingdao didn't know what the "art of engraving" was, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard it. Pei should take the opportunity to insist, Dong Jingdao said: "The old man has a little income from ploughing, and he should also write it out to offer Pei Gong." However, it is really difficult to obey fate. ”

Pei Gai believes that "sincerity is caused, and gold and stone are open", so he continued to advise. The old gentleman thought for a while, and then said: "Regarding the recent discussion of Sergeant Guan, the old man has an idea, when Qin is dedicated to Pei Gong's drive, ......"

"Sir, please."

"Guanzhong was originally a literary source, but since the Ji Han Dynasty, the land is barren, and the learning is weak, and it is a family in Guanzhong, which is not as good as Kanto, especially between Henan, Nanyang and Yingchuan. Today, Pei Gong stayed in the town of Guanzhong, wanting to settle the west first, and then sweep away the filthy atmosphere for the country, which should have strengthened the hearts of the people and cared for the family...... Pei Gong seems to have the intention of doing the opposite......"

Pei should be a little unimpressed by his words, but he still listened patiently.

I heard Dong Jingdao continue: "Since Pei Gong stays in Guanzhong, he must use more sergeants in Guan, if he can increase his family background and prestige, then some small grievances may be eliminated." "How much do you have to give the Guanzhong family a little sweetness to eat, and whipping a whip to give a date is the way to control it.

Pei Gai bowed his head and said: "What Mr. said is true, but I don't know what good strategy to teach me?" ”

Dong Jingdao said: "The old man is a backward scholar for Zheng Xue, and he has some prestige in Confucianism, how about the old man make a "Surname Chronicle" for Pei Gong?" ”

Pei Gai's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "What is "Surname Chronicle"? ”

"Summarizing the surnames of the world's heroes, the reasons, achievements, and official careers of the book, in between, compose a little composing pen, and exalt the various families in Guanzhong - naturally, under the national surname, when the Pei family is the first ......"

From the front door, it all depends on the public opinion of the government and the opposition -- of course, it is more important whether there are high-ranking officials in the DPRK and whether there are any central officials in the localities -- and there is no clear ranking. During the Western Jin Dynasty, Gaomen did not pass Jia, Pei, Wang (Taiyuan), Xun, that is because Jia and Pei were big clans and successively ruled in power, while Wang's and Xun's families all had famous scriptures, and their children were more than three dukes. But as for who is higher and who is low, who is one and who is two, and what kind of ranking method each family has, no one has really studied it, and it is estimated that it will not be able to study the ugliness.

So Dong Jingdao suggested, I can help you write a book of "Surname Chronicles" to sort the world's gate valves. First of all, put your surname Pei Lie Sima second, Jia, Wang, and Xun all back, so as to further coax your identity and fame. Of course, this is the icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow, and if you want to send charcoal in the snow, you must take the opportunity to rise to the top of the Kansai families.

For example, Wushi Liang, in the past, he may not even be able to enter the fifty places, and he must be ranked behind the Liang of this branch of the county. But now that Liang Fengui is Situ, and Liang Jun is about to become the national abbot, then this branch will inevitably rise. They may not be grateful to you for their own hard work, but if you can publish a book and determine the ranking, then they will definitely be happy, right?

The same is true for other families in Kansai, if you take the opportunity to publish a book and improve their ranking, they will naturally feel that they will have a promising future following you, and you don't have any intention of leaving the family behind - it's just that you have to decide whether each family rises or falls.

This book is written by me, Pei Gong, you are the funder and publisher, relying on my prestige in Confucianism and your power in the imperial court, are you still afraid that you will not be able to copy the world? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to become an authoritative publication or a ranking list?

When Pei Gai heard this, he frowned at first, and then was overjoyed. frowned because he was worried that this matter would widen the distance between the family and the Hanmen, and make the family sit big; But after thinking about it again, as the old gentleman said, who is a family and who is a poor family, from now on, it is not by the amount of land occupied and the size of the power, but by me to control public opinion, which is also a big progress.

Think about the original history, Tang Taizong had ordered Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Wei Ting, the imperial historian and others to compile the "Clan Chronicles", but when the first draft came up, the surname Cui of Shandong was still listed first, and the Li family of Longxi had to be in the back row. Taizong was furious and ordered to rebuild, saying that "there is no need to talk about a few generations ago, stop taking today's officials and lords as ranks", and finally took the royal family as the head, followed by the relatives, and deliberately retaliated and demoted the surname Cui to the third class.

This was a test of the imperial power of the family, and as a result, the imperial power was victorious, the power of the traditional family was suppressed, and many nouveau riche of the Shu clan were able to obtain a social status commensurate with their official qualities. Therefore, when the "Hundred Family Names" was compiled in the early Song Dynasty, this kind of demon moth was no longer produced, and the surname of the country was directly set as "Zhao" as the first, and the "money" of King Wuyue was the second.

Ethnic politics has given way to bureaucratic politics entirely.

Pei should think that this is a powerful weapon of public opinion that can be held in his hands, and from then on, the family will rise and fall, and he will be dethroned from the heart - since it is impossible to completely destroy the politics of the clan in one fell swoop, it is better to use this means of spring breeze and rain to slowly replace it - he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to thank Dong Jingdao, please start writing, old man.

——————————

Dong Jingdao did not agree to go out in the end, but Pei Gai specially ordered someone to open a feasible road to his Weiwei grass house, so that he could come and go, and after returning to Chang'an, he also sent shogunate officials to visit the old gentleman from time to time and listen to his teachings.

However, soon after Pei Gai returned to Chang'an, he was forced to put aside the "Surname Chronicle" for the time being, because there was another major event that occupied all his time and energy outside of work - Xun Guanniang was about to give birth.

Before that, Pei Cai sent people to visit Guanzhong and even Henan to find famous obstetricians and stable mothers to prepare for the birth of the child. For those doctors and Wen Po who will come up with prescriptions, or the means that they intend to implement, they must also be asked and approved by him before they can be applied.

In fact, Pei Gai doesn't understand medicine, and most of the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors can't be understood. It's just that he thinks that Chinese medicine has existed and developed for thousands of years, so there should always be something reasonable, right? And even if it is unreasonable, there is no modern medicine available nowadays, so you can't avoid medical treatment, simply don't see a doctor, and don't take medicine. Therefore, if Xun Guanniang is unwell during pregnancy, she should take Chinese medicine and take Chinese medicine, but Da Sima has to look at it first, and then call the imperial doctor to order Jiang Tong to consult before cooking.

Because some recipes are unreliable when you look at them, for example, if you have two scorpions, there is still something to say, you have to have a female and a male, and you must be married to the original husband and wife...... Isn't that! And Xun Guanniang's physical fitness has always been very good, and she believes that ordinary small illnesses can be carried by herself, so for fear of damaging the mother and fetus, all the drugs of the tiger and wolf are not allowed to be used.

trembling like this, finally approaching the delivery period, Pei should sit and lie down all day. However, everything that should be done has been done, and what should be prevented has been prevented, and the rest can only be done by luck and providence, and it is easier to do it without manpower, especially in this year. It's just that thinking of the low survival rate of the fetus in this era always makes Pei Gai difficult to let go.

So in the last few days, Pei Gai did not go to the former site of Shangshu Province in the small city of Chang'an to go to work, and all military and political affairs were handled in the front hall of the Great Sima Mansion. He said that on this day, he was absentmindedly reviewing official documents, and suddenly a report came to the door, saying that a scholar had thrown an assassination and asked to see him.

Recently, there has been an endless stream of scholars who have come to invest in Sima, and Pei Cai didn't care about it at first, but when he took the famous thorn and took a look, he immediately ordered: "Please come in quickly." ”

Because the name tattoo simply reads: "Danyang Jurong Shi Ge Hong." ”

In fact, Ge Hong Ge Zhichuan is just a cultivator - there are no full-time Taoist teachers in these years, so he calls himself a "virgin" - Pei Gai doesn't want to alchemy, nor does he seek immortality, and he is worried about his wife's birth, so he may not care. When the problem was still in Xuzhou, Pei Cai thought of asking Ge Hong to "invent" gunpowder, although time had passed, and there was no need for the old guy, but he instinctively agreed to meet him.

The time was not long, and I saw a scholar with a scarf and a scarf, and he entered with his hand. Pei should take a closer look - is this really Ge Hong?

Because in his imagination, Ge Zhichuan should be an old man with fairy wind bones, but he didn't expect that although the beard was long, it was like ink, and his face was fair, and there were few wrinkles-this looks not a few years older than me, and he is still a middle-aged ...... Young and middle-aged.

After the other party entered the door, he immediately bowed and did not bow: "Grass people Ge Hong, please meet Da Sima." ”

Pei should not be polite, but invited Ge Hong to sit down, and asked, "I don't know how old Mr. is?" ”

"The grass people are Taikang five-year-old people......"

Pei should pinch his fingers, it turned out that he was only five years older than me, and he was thirty-four years old...... Sure enough, he is young, and I still think he has a successful cultivation, so he has a good look!

Thinking that this was a misunderstanding of his own thinking, he just knew that Ge Hong was a famous Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and thought that he must be an elder. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that if Ge Zhichuan is now seventy or eighty, then theoretically he will die soon after entering the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and future generations should be remembered as "Taoist priests of Wei and Jin......

So he exchanged a few words of greeting and asked about Ge Hong's intention. Ge Zhichuan arched his hand and smiled: "Hong Jin went north, just to apologize to Da Sima. ”

In fact, this is nonsense, Ge Hong crossed the river and went north, in fact, because his cultivation encountered a bottleneck, so he decided to travel to the Central Plains and visit his fellow Taoists to supplement his benefits.

The main vein of Taoism in this year is still the five buckets of rice Dao, at the beginning of Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, Zhang Lu ancestors and grandchildren three generations spread in Bashu, until Cao Cao invaded Hanzhong, moved Zhang Lu is equal to Ye, and then gradually flourished in the Central Plains - the later generations of the Northern Heavenly Master Dao, the Southern Dragon and Tiger Sect, this time has not yet taken shape.

Now, that is, at the turn of the East and West Jin Dynasty in the original history, Taoism is the most prosperous place, the first is in Shuzhong, the second is in the Central Plains, and Jiangnan can only be at the bottom. Therefore, Ge Hong heard that Pei and Zu have settled in Henan and Guanzhong, so Sichuan can't go for the time being, so I might as well go to the Central Plains to find a colleague and refer to the spells.

He traveled between Henan and Yingchuan for many years, and then went west to Guanzhong, with the main purpose of going to Zhongnan Mountain to find Liang Chen. Liang Chen's faction, later known as the "Louguan School", flourished during the Northern Wei, Sui, and Tang dynasties, and had a profound influence on several generations of royals. However, most of the information of the Louguan faction was forged by later generations, and there is no way to verify what Guan Yin Xi created and Yin Liang taught to teach Liang Chen Tianshu, except for the school's own words.

In fact, Liang Chen himself was hidden in Zhongnan Mountain, and his reputation was not very obvious, and Ge Hong occasionally heard people mention it when he was traveling in Henan, so he came to visit from afar. However, he talked to Liang Chen for three days, and found that the other party had limited goods in his stomach, and the two families had very different understandings of the classics, so they could not help him at all. Therefore, I came in a hurry, and returned in defeat, and when I returned home, I suddenly remembered that my apprentice Peng Xiao and Peng Ziqin have not heard from him since he left Xuzhou, is he in Chang'an City? Since you've come to Guanzhong, you might as well go and meet them.

As a result, when he entered the city to inquire, Peng Ziqin had already been convicted and demoted to a coolie......

After all, there had been a master-apprentice relationship for several years, and Ge Hong immediately came to Pei Gai and wanted to ask him to let Peng Xiao go. It's just that it's inconvenient to say it clearly when we meet for the first time, so I said that I came, "just to apologize to Da Sima".

Ge Hong said that on the same day, Pei Gong gave the ancient secret recipe to the inferior Peng Xiao, he couldn't figure it out himself, so he wrote to me to ask me for help, I think this recipe is very beneficial to smelting, so it is implemented according to the law - "It is self-committed without suing Pei Gong, and his crime is also one; Fu Peng Ziqin used the prescription I taught, and the refining was not as good as Pei Gong's intentions, and even the Suo system, this fault lies with me, and his two sins are also. Therefore, I am here to apologize. ”

Pei Cai smiled and said that it was not so bad-"Mr.'s prescription, in fact, it has been roughly completed." ”

Ge Hong said that I had heard about it too, and then twisted his beard with his hands, and his face was solemn: "I originally thought that Pei Gong passed on this technique and sought a prescription, which was to cultivate himself and seek immortality, but unexpectedly it became a method of killing......"

Pei Gai asked rhetorically: "Since the former Laozi is the foundation of heaven and man, and the way of change, why not cultivate himself, but prefer to pass on 5,000 words to future generations?" Is it better to know that self-cultivation is not as good as saving others, and living forever alone, how can it guide sentient beings? Although I am killing people with the side of my husband, the people I kill are all nonsense, and what I do is to protect the country and save the people, what is it impossible to do? Is the gentleman upset by this? ”

Ge Hong smiled slightly and said: "Pei Gong's words, the so-called solitary happiness is not as good as public happiness, it is a Confucian language, not my Taoist language. However, all laws are universal, and Confucius once asked Lao Tzu, and Si Yan is not unreasonable. It's just that...... In this case, Peng Ziqin has contributed to the country, and why was he convicted? ”

Pei Gaixin said I see, you are waiting for me here......

So he explained: "As Mr. said, although Peng Xiao has been taught by me, he can't test it, and if he wants to ask Mr. for advice, then the prescription he offers is the merit of Mr., what credit does Peng have?" Not only is he greedy for his own merits, but he also hides his wealth......"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly Pei Fu's voice came from outside the door, and his tone was quite anxious: "Lord, Madame has a difficult birth-please go to bed quickly!" ”
