In a few days, the end of the year will be.

Different from later generations, this time of the year is an inauspicious day, the year of the year, the biggest checkpoint of the year, half a month in a row is the coldest time of the year, many ordinary people, during this time, because of lack of food and clothing by the cold weather for days to freeze to death is not a few.

Therefore, in Wancheng these days, there are many markets selling pine wood, wine and other cold things.

In addition, the New Year's Pass is also a stall infested obliquely in the legend, and the peach charm has appeared at this time, thus gradually developing a special belief in peach wood.

Gongziyan's mansion has also been completely opened in the past few days, and this is also Lin Yuyan's first year outside the palace, so naturally he wants to be lively.

However, Lin Yuyan has no thought about the food of the Spring Festival, in the past, when he was in the palace, there were still some fresh dishes, but when he arrived outside the palace, he found that it was very good for ordinary people to be full, and those who had a strong appetite actually ate the people's fat and ointment, because at this time, a beautiful dish consumed manpower and material resources far from being comparable to later generations.

The average person in Wuguo has very few condiments, only the most basic things such as salt, and it is strange that it can be delicious when made like this!

At this time, Lin Yuyan remembered that the palace was good, especially in the purple leaf garden of his mother Jiang, the wild seasoning produced in the mediocre Bashan was simply a superb delicacy in the world for this era.

Kong Xuan stayed in Gongziyan's mansion for the New Year this year, and this former palace cronie developed papermaking and printing technology just for Lin Yuyan, which made Lin Yuyan remember him well.

Moreover, this time Kong Xuan did not come to the door empty-handed, the whole more than 1,000 stone of grain, piled up in the warehouse temporarily placed by Kong Xuan, in just five or six days, the news of the transaction between Wancheng bookstore and the palace was intentionally or unintentionally spread all over Wancheng, those old clans were naturally unwilling to fall behind, and inquired, it turned out that Liang Qiu, the great Confucian Gu of the Wuguo Kingdom, had written a book and made a statement, and the palace had already sent some to the various departments and offices, and there was a faint rumor that the Wu Kingdom would unify the script and no longer use other languages of various countries.

This made the old clan who had a monopoly on education not care, and immediately sent his cronies to rush to the Wancheng bookstore, which exclusively sold Gu Liangqiu's "Shuowen Jie Zi", which effectively created a situation where it was difficult to find a book in the bookstore.

Lin Yuyan thought about it, but he still couldn't go to Nanyang Academy, and now he was selling Gu Liangqiu's hard work in Wancheng, but he was really ashamed!

After thinking about it, Lin Yuyan asked Kong Xuan to prepare some "Shuowen Jie Zi" to take with him to visit Gu Liangshi.

Wancheng Bookstore has no inventory, it is only for outsiders, His Royal Highness wants it, so naturally he gave it tightly, Kong Xuan ordered a hundred copies of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" to Lin Yuyan, and said: "Your Highness, if this trend continues, Wancheng Bookstore is afraid to recruit people!" ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yuyan nodded, and then said: "Use these people first, wait for the spring, and relocate the paper mill and printing workshop to Shanglin Yuan, the method of papermaking and printing is still quite important, and it should not be taken lightly into the eyes and ears of others!" ”

Kong Xuan naturally knows the stakes, not to mention the interests of this paper printing, that is, Kong Xuan's hardships for these two things over the years are to ask him not to let these two things out in vain.

Nanyang Academy is still like that, but because the New Year is about to close, the scholars who have been studying on weekdays have returned to their hometowns, and Nanyang Academy has also entered the "closed mountain".

This time, Jiao An did not open the door to lead the way, but Lin Yuyan entered the academy with a familiar car.

The bamboo door of Guliangqiu's house was wide open, and Lin Yuyan heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance.

It should be Gu Liangshi who is playing the qin.

Before Lin Yuyan entered the door, he took a special look, and it seemed that Gu Liangshi's wife, Gu Liangju, was not there, and there was no one in the courtyard.

Gu Liangshi was skilled in the piano, he was stroking the piano with his eyes closed, and he couldn't extricate himself from it, so that Lin Yuyan and his party entered the courtyard, but Gu Liangshi didn't notice it.

After the song was played, Gu Liangshi slowly opened his eyes, and was also startled when he saw that there were so many more people in the courtyard, and when he saw that the person who came was Lin Yuyan, the sixth son of the emperor, he returned to his normal appearance.

"Don't say hello when you come into the yard!" Gu Liangshi scolded.

Lin Yuyan smiled back and said: "Master Gu Liang, Nanyang Academy is very deserted today, and there is no one to watch the door, how can I report in advance?" ”

When Gu Liangshi heard this, he thought that this was indeed the case, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "What did you come here today?" ”

"Naturally, it's to thank Master Gu Liang!" Lin Yuyan replied with a smile, but then the words changed and said, "Of course, it is also to find Gu Liangshi to discuss one thing......

Hearing this, Gu Liangshi directly revealed his eyes that saw through Lin Yuyan's thoughts, "I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but ...... The compilation of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" has already used the favor of many old friends, and I am afraid that the others are also powerless......"

"I haven't said it yet...... Gu Liangshi can't do anything? This matter is a good thing for Gu Liangshi, or for the entire Nanyang Nanyang Academy! Lin Yuyan pretended to be mysterious.

Immediately, Master Gu Liang cast an inquiring look at Lin Yuyan, but Lin Yuyan pretended not to see it, but swept around and asked, "Why didn't you see Shi Niang today?" ”

Gu Liangshi said angrily: "Your sister has already returned to her parents' house with the child, and it is estimated that she will come back tomorrow, and I don't want to stay here for a meal today." ”

"No wonder ......," Lin Yuyan muttered.

Gu Liangshi was curious: "What's the wonder?" ”

Lin Yuyan walked to Gu Liangshi's left hand side and sat down, and smiled at Gu Liangshi: "In the past, Lu Zhongni traveled around the world, was sleepy for a while, and Fuqin was hungry, and today Gu Liangshi also imitates a Confucian sage, Fuqin, I laugh because of this." ”

Hearing this, Gu Liangshi was not angry, but plucked a few notes, in fact, Lin Yuyan also understood the meaning of the syllable: "Too much." ”

Lin Yuyan coughed twice and said: "Master Gu Liang, Yan Shen thought that he was grateful for the matter of "Shuowen Jie Zi", and he could only record "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" as a hundred volumes. ”

Hearing this, Jing Yi and others behind him put the hundred volumes of "Shuowen Jie Zi" on the table in front of Gu Liangshi.

Gu Liangshi knew the existence of paper, but he didn't expect that his "Shuowen Jie Zi" had a total of more than 40,000 words, and the bamboo slips alone used more than 1,000 tubes and filled four large boxes, but when written on paper, it was only three or four inches thick, which was quite unusual.

"Do you have a heart......" Gu Liangshi nodded, more than 40,000 words, copied 100 volumes, that is, 4 million words, this is already a big project, and the manpower and material resources to be mobilized are unimaginable.

The old friends gathered by Gu Liangshi and the doormen of the Minister of State Baili Huai, there were hundreds of people, and after the "Shuowen Jie Zi" was decided, they only copied three or four copies.

Of course, Gu Liangshi didn't know the existence of printing, papermaking and printing were enough to make one of the hundreds of sons of the world become a prominent scholar without hindrance.

"Master Gu Liang, Nanyang Academy is the college with the deepest heritage in the Wu Kingdom, and even today's Wu Guo Minister Baili Huai and Right Minister Ming Zifu are all from Nanyang Academy, so I don't think Nanyang Academy should be like this." Lin Yuyan said.

Gu Liangqiu smiled: "The prime minister and the right minister are both honest and honest people, and they will not favor Nanyang Academy for the sake of old feelings, Nanyang Academy is like this, I am already content, studying, is to learn how to endure hardships, ordinary scholars are not as good as Zixi School Palace after all!" ”

Hearing Gu Liangshi say this, Lin Yuyan also heard the meaning, and dared to feel that Gu Liangshi thought that he was talking about the material gap between Nanyang Academy and Zixi Academy.

Although there is indeed a big gap between the two, this is not the point that Lin Yuyan wants to say.

"Gu Liang Shi, Yan is not talking about this, but Nanyang Academy is a profound academy in Wuguo, Gu Liang Shi is a great Confucian in Wuguo, and now the scholars of Nanyang Academy are uneven, there are scholars who are full of the world, and there are also illiterate people who can read and write, teachers, there are preaching and teaching to solve doubts, Gu Liang should be a great Confucian, but now for Huangkou children to read and understand, don't you think it's a bit overkill?"

"Teacher, is there a difference between preaching and teaching and solving doubts?" Gu Liangshi recalled this sentence and felt quite reasonable, and looked at Lin Yuyan at the moment and said, "When I was in the Zixi School Palace, I didn't find you so ...... Sharp teeth, but listen to what you mean, this is also to recruit scholars to go to the local enlightenment to learn? ”

Gu Liangshi said directly, and guessed Lin Yuyan's thoughts, but it made Lin Yuyan frown: "Gu Liangshi, what is it called?" ”

Gu Liang said: "The imperial court has newly set up Shanglin Yuan in Jianyang, you should know?" ”

"Hmm," Lin Yuyan nodded, Master Liang of the Heart Dao Valley should have not been out for a long time, and he didn't know his relationship with Shang Lin Yuan, so he asked like this.

Gu Liangshi continued: "A few days ago, Shanglin Yuan's Shangshu Ling Han Kui has already come, hurry up and tell me these things, hoping to be able to ...... in Thorn Yang Now it should be called Shanglin Yuan to open up Mongolian learning, hoping to recruit some scholars as Mongolian teachers in Nanyang Academy, and now the suitable scholars and intentions of Nanyang Academy have all been requisitioned...... That is, you are a step late. ”

Coming late?

When Lin Yuyan heard the news, she was a step late? It seems that he is indeed a step late, no, Han Kui has said okay, what else are you going to do?!

Lin Yuyan also reacted, Han Kui is really not an ordinary person, his vision is far-reaching, and his thinking is meticulous, which makes Lin Yuyan also breathtaking.

When Shanglin Yuan was in ruins, Han Kui actually thought faster than himself, a latecomer...... can't say fast, in short, do things decisively, just one step ahead of Lin Yuyan.

Now that Han Kui has done a good job, Gu Liangshi obviously can't get a full meal, so Lin Yuyan also thanked Gu Liangshi for some of the previous things, and Gu Liangshi stroked the piano and left Nanyang Academy.
