Chapter 39 Technology Popularization
It seems that today's court meeting is almost over. He Jin lazily stroked his big belly, dragged a long tail note, and asked, "Han Fu, aren't you also going to be impeached?" ”
In the imperial history, Han Fu's face turned pale, and he subconsciously hid back. But the eyes of the audience were locked on him, so he could only stand up and arch his hand: "Since Lord Guo was appointed as a master craftsman, he has spent a lot of money on ironmaking, papermaking, and tables and chairs. At present, the treasury is only afraid that it will be unbearable, and I hope that the general will see it. ”
He Jin nodded, financial issues really need to be paid attention to. asked Guo Yi, "Master Guo, what do you say?" ”
Guo Yi took out the printed "Huangxi Chapter", handed it to He Jin, and said: "As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. Although the cost was huge, he improved paper and invented movable type printing. Since then, the cost of all books has plummeted, and paper books are easy to carry. The ministers are all scholarly heirlooms, and this thin book will take more than five volumes to replace it with bamboo slips. Printing books on white paper, a bookshelf can hold more than 100 classics. You are all book lovers, and you will have more books in your home in the future. ”
Secondly, the use of movable type printing not only saves a lot of engraving. Moreover, the printing speed is fast, and it is not easy to make mistakes. In the past, books were copied by hand, and it was inevitable that there would be clerical errors. Nowadays, with uniform printing, there is no fear of mistakes, and the font is correct and easy to read. ”
The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu had read a few books, and the content of the "Huangxi Chapter" was ignored, but the feeling of holding this book in their hands made them excited. One by one, they all rushed to read it.
The paper is pure white, and every word is extremely clear, making it easy to read. If you take it back and collect it, it won't take up space, which is really a good thing.
He Jin saw that the intention of the Manchu Dynasty was basically determined, so he made a summary of this confusing court discussion. Said: "Ministers, in my opinion, Lord Guo is fully qualified for the position of master craftsman, and I hope you will no longer be picky and obstructive." ”
"No." The situation is not up to anyone. Although many ministers are still a little dissatisfied, they can only hold it down for now. Later, if Guo Yi makes a mistake, let's go up together and knock him down in one go.
Small groups of all parties left with their own hearts. He Jin chatted with Guo Yi for a few words, and made an appointment to invite him to dinner in a few days. Yuan Shao also laughed and came over to greet him, praising his performance today as perfect.
After this discussion, Guo Yi's official position is not in danger for the time being. Although Zhang Rang and others are still looking for every opportunity, the probability of taking action is not high at present.
Papermaking and printing began to spread rapidly, and Shaofu charged fees to print books through technological monopoly, which filled most of the financial expenditures, and naturally received further support from Emperor Ling of Han and He Jin, and he could continue his research with peace of mind.
In order to have a direct impact on the ministers, all the tables and chairs in the Chongzheng Hall were replaced, and the hierarchy of tables and chairs was promulgated to the world.
The spread of good things is swift and unstoppable, and it is a historical way forward. Shaofu opened up technology and allowed private production, so tables and chairs soon entered thousands of households, greatly changing the living habits of Chinese.
The set of etiquette formulated by Guo Yi has clear regulations on the height of the table and chair, the pattern of the back of the chair, and even the material of the chair. It is divided into five levels, the first level of the three princes, the first level of the nine kings, the first level of the county guard, the first level of other officials, and the first level of civilians. and make a distinction between civil and military officials, as well as between the families of officials.
As for the emperor, it is the only dragon chair in the world, and no one is allowed to imitate it!
The esteem of status can be seen in the difference in the seats, and the courtiers are obviously different when discussing politics, and they enjoy this straightforward feeling of superiority!
It was with this sense of vanity that the implementation of tables and chairs was not hindered much, and officials were happy to bring this set into their homes to show their dignity.
But at this time, a copy of Shangshu Lu Zhi's impeachment of Guo Yi was sent to Emperor Ling of Han.
In the Chongzheng Palace, the emperor's position has not yet been placed in the chair, according to the current situation, if the emperor participates in the court meeting, he will inevitably be "inferior", such a disrespectful behavior has naturally become the best reason to attack Guo Yi!
After Emperor Han Ling resumed his favor with Empress He, his qi and blood weakened again, and now he has a pale face. Good girl Fayhan, this is not false at all. Emperor Han Ling gasped and pointed at the fold, "Aiqing, what do you say?" ”
"Absurd words, not enough to shine!" Guo Yi's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he said proudly: "The emperor is the supreme of heaven and earth!" The dragon chair is where the dragon qi of the big man is! Not only the workmanship should be exquisite, but every process, every piece of wood, and every axe and chisel must conform to the principles of heaven and the time! Therefore, the craftsmen all choose auspicious times to make them, and they rest when they are outdated. And the person who makes the dragon chair is not allowed to make anything else. It takes some time, it's natural! ”
Lu Zhi is almost fifty years old, and his hair and beard are a little gray. Considering the average life expectancy of ancient people, he was already half cut into the earth. But at this moment, it seems that he is still energetic and has the style of a general. After listening to Guo Yi's rebuttal, he immediately questioned: "In that case, why don't you wait for the dragon chair to be made before adding the Baiguan chair?" ”
Zhang Rang was going to attack Guo Yi as long as he had the opportunity, so he also echoed: "Lord Guo is sharp and sharp-toothed, and the evidence of disrespect to the emperor is conclusive, and he dares to deny it?" ”
"Shut up!" Guo Yi immediately aimed the spearhead at Zhang Rang, and scolded: "No posterior!" Lord Shangshu's impeachment of this official is where the duty lies, and it is the blessing of the Han Dynasty! What is your intention to erect yin and yang, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai? What is the crime of slandering hundreds of officials and blinding the Holy Hearing? ”
Lu Zhi originally came to impeach Guo Yi, but Guo Yi praised him and scolded Zhang Rang for this eunuch, he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and persuaded: "Lord Guo, why bother with the eunuch villain, let's get down to business first." ”
Guo Yi bowed to Emperor Han Ling, and then to Lu Zhi, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's arrangement is that the family teacher has calculated a hexagram. The hexagram says that the emperor is unspeakably noble, and his merits are better than the two emperors of civil and military. If you want to invite the true dragon into the world, you need to be honored by a noble person! The Chinese martial arts of the dynasty are all stars, so they first put the hundred officials in a high seat, and only after the ninth five-day day can the emperor ascend the throne, thinking that the world is supreme and the great blessing of the great Han! ”
"Good! Aiqing's words are true! Emperor Han Ling was enthusiastic when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Last night, I dreamed of the two emperors of Wenwu and Wu, and they all said that the luck of the Han Dynasty lies in me, and today I heard what Aiqing said, and it is true!" ”
Who knows what he dreamed about? Anyway, the emperor said that if he dreamed of it, it would be a dream, and he would just shout and cheer as a courtier!
Lu Zhi and Guo Yi bowed down together and shouted, "Long live my emperor!" ”
Emperor Han Ling raised a breath of anger and asked with full of energy, "Aiqing, when is the day of the Ninth Five-Year Plan?" ”
"It's the thirteenth day of May, the day the true dragon came into the world."
May 13 is the birthday of Emperor Han Ling, so he is naturally a real dragon. Hearing this, Emperor Han Ling closed his mouth happily and ordered: "Aiqing really knows the destiny of heaven and geography. This matter will be handed over to Aiqing, and others will have to say goodbye. ”
"Yes!"
