After more than half an hour, under the expectation of Zhang Zai and Cai Yan, Cai Yong finally came slowly with the convoy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the carriage arrived near the city gate, it stopped, and Cai Yong had already seen his daughter through the car window, she was standing at the city gate with a man, it should be his son-in-law Zhang Zai.

Speaking of Cai Yan's marriage, it is quite interesting, not only have the two parties not met, but the only parent of both parties, Cai Yong has not seen the appearance of his son-in-law, I am afraid that even the matchmaker Li Ru is the same.

Cai Yong was afraid that his daughter and son-in-law would be in a hurry, so as soon as the carriage stopped, he got out of the car.

And Zhang Zai, when Cai Yong came out, Cai Yan had already told him that this was her father, so the couple walked to the car hand in hand.

"Son-in-law Zhang Zai, meet your father-in-law."

"Daughter to see Daddy."

The two made a big salute to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong looked at Zhang Zaiyi's talent, and the husband and wife were Qin Se and Ming, and the husband sang with the woman, and was pleased, helped the two of them, and said three times in a row: "Good, good, good." ”

"Father-in-law, please go to the house to talk." Zhang Zai made a gesture of please, invited Cai Yong to his own carriage, and drove to the mansion in person.

When the carriage entered the house, Zhang Zai personally helped the old man down and served tea, treating the old man as a father.

Cai Yong is also very satisfied with Zhang Zai, he looks talented, and from his daughter's eyes, he also sees that the two are very affectionate, even treating themselves, they are also very dedicated, and they are also in good order to govern the state, basically out of poverty, and among the younger generation, they are absolute leaders.

"Zide, I heard that the old man made a kind of book?" As soon as Cai Yong sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes." Zhang Zaidao, since Cai Yong came, the news of the book naturally couldn't be hidden.

"Can I take the old man to see it?" Cai Yong looked at Zhang Zai expectantly.

"Yes." Zhang Zai thought for a while and said, after all, it is his father-in-law, although this matter is secret, it is not something that cannot be known.

"So how about now?" Cai Yong asked.

"Yes, but this place is in the newly built academy, and I ask my father-in-law to move." Zhang Zai said, and then ordered his subordinates to lead the way.

The two asked and answered, and directly put Cai Yan aside, but Cai Yan didn't care, and after they left, they also returned to the backyard.

The academy is only one street away from the state minister's house, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, which reads "Bingzhou Academy".

Now because this is a place where books are made, there are heavy soldiers to guard them, and the guards salute when they see Zhang Zai.

Zhang Zai stopped at the door and ordered: "This is a famous Confucian in the world, and he is also the father-in-law of a certain person, and no one will be allowed to stop him from entering and leaving here in the future." ”

"No!" The guard commanded.

"Father-in-law, please." Zhang Zai introduced Cai Yong to the academy.

When you enter the academy, the first thing you see is a huge stone stele, the surface of the stele is polished very smooth, and it is engraved with the famous four sentences of the Hengqu in later generations: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

Cai Yong looked at this huge stone tablet, with tears in his eyes, trembling and touching a few big characters on it, and asked: "This, who said this, just this sentence is enough to be called a great Confucian." ”

"This is when the son-in-law established the college, his heart was full of blood for a while, so he wrote these few sentences as the motto of the college." When Zhang Zai said this, he also blushed slightly, but Cai Yong didn't pay attention to Zhang Zai's face because he was excited.

Cai Yong's eyes when he looked at Zhang Zai at this moment have completely changed, no matter what Zhang Zai's talent is, he has already mentioned Zhang Zai's status in his heart to be completely equal to himself.

Crossing the stone monument and continuing to walk, along the way, Cai Yong grabbed Zhang Zai's hand and was speechless with excitement.

"Father-in-law, please come inside, soon to the place where the books are printed?" Zhang Zai was stared at by Cai Yong uncomfortably, so he could only invite Cai Yong inside to divert his attention.

Sure enough, the attraction of books is much greater than the few sentences in front of him, and as soon as Zhang Zai's words came out, Cai Yong's attention was immediately attracted away.

After passing through a few courtyards, before entering the door, I smelled the smell of ink, and then from time to time someone next to me transported bound books to other courtyards.

As soon as you enter the door, the scene inside the door is very different, there are no plants in the courtyard, it is an empty square, some people are cutting paper, and then many people are holding pieces of cut white paper, and keep sending it to the side of the house.

The room was large, with two doors open, and a steady stream of bound books came in from one side of the room and a steady stream of bound books on the other.

Zhang Zai also introduced the operation here to Cai Yong while walking, especially here, as a place where the book was written, Zhang Zai even told the process inside.

Cai Yong was a little confused when he listened, and then asked, "How many books can be produced here every day?" ”

Zhang Zai thought for a while and replied, "If it is printed day and night, there will be about 100 copies." ”

"Hiss......" Cai Yong gasped, he could produce 100 copies a day, and that month was thousands of copies, so it only took a few years to make it one for every scholar in the world, which was a great blessing for readers.

Then Zhang Zai continued: "It's just that at present, only the types of books in the prefecture are too few, and only the Analects are printed, and if other books are to be printed, it will take a few days just to typeset. ”

After hearing this, Cai Yong was very curious about this method of printing books, so the two entered the house where the books were printed.

Mr. Jang was still using movable type printing, and he wanted to use a mold, a wooden board on which the contents of the book were engraved, and then the paper was placed underneath and brushed with ink.

However, after making the mold, he found that the paper was often soaked with ink, so Zhang Zai decided to use movable type printing.

Cai Yong was constantly amazed when he saw these things that printed books, he had lived for most of his life and had never seen such an ingenious method.

Unexpectedly, those so-called obscene and ingenious skills have such a powerful power that can help them realize their lifelong ideals.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zai took him to the paper-making place, but the paper-making environment was not very good, and Cai Yong couldn't understand what was going on, so he didn't stay in it for a long time.

Back in the state pastor's mansion, Cai Yong pulled Zhang Zai and began to talk about literature, but Zhang Zai couldn't even remember the Analects, how could he stand Cai Yong's questioning, a few questions down, Zhang Zai was completely revealed, not only did he not remember the original words of the sages, but he couldn't even remember some basic allusions.

However, it is worth mentioning that although Zhang Zai does not know much about the works of the sages, he has his own ideas, which also makes Cai Yong secretly a genius.
