Chapter 834: Stone Canal
At the time of Pize, there are Pu and Lotus. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info - Chen Feng. Zepi
Although Yecheng is not the southern Chen country, the climate in the north is still warm in this era, and it can also grow lotuses. After Zixia and the others passed the main gate of the school palace, they saw that on the bank of Zhangshui, a stone railing enclosed several acres of half-moon-shaped lake, and the lotus leaves covered half of the lake, and the breeze was slow, and the turquoise lotus leaves were also undulating.
This is the water of the Zhanghe River led by craftsmen such as the public loss class, and created a "Pan Pond" at the main gate of the Linzhang School Palace, which is taken from the meaning of "Sile Pan Water, Thin Picking Its Qin" in the poem, originally this semicircular Pan Pond can only be built by the study of the princes, but the Linzhang School Palace is nominally the public school of the Jin Kingdom, so digging this pool, no one can say that it is not polite.
After the Pan Pond, and then climb a low hill, it is the main body of the school palace.
In the clear light of the morning sun, a wide stone avenue is bordered by a green meadow, on which are planted a few peach trees at intervals, and the peach branches on them are skillfully smeared among the hills.
The stone slab under his feet was unpolished, and the pits on it were uneven enough to prevent slipping, Zixia looked at the black and white school palace building above the grassy slope that was not tall but stretched for many rooms, and couldn't help but be a little distracted. The white walls and green tiles, the ridge and beams are painted with grass and moire, and the overall style is clear and generous.
"It really deserves to be the first place to open the village, and the ...... of the high gate and big house" Zixia, who is young and old, saw this scene and was also sincerely admired.
Walk to the front of the mountain gate, the plaque of the door "Linzhang School Palace" is Zhao Shangqing's handwriting, fortunately, Zhao Wuxian knows that the words are ugly, and he has been practicing pen and ink hard in recent years, and finally did not smile and be generous when inscribed.
After entering the school palace, the number of people gradually increased, many scholars dressed in cloth walked around it, some people were discussing something together in groups of three or five, some people were leaning on the railing under the eaves to recite poems and books, and some people were sitting in the house and reading hard...... Whenever the "gentleman" of the school palace wearing a long-sleeved deep coat passed by, the students would consciously step aside and bow down to say hello.
Zhao Shangqing adopted a very polite attitude towards the gentlemen hired by the school palace, and named many famous scholars as "doctors", and "received the doctor's favor", that is, they had the corresponding titles and support, and allowed them to "discuss without governance" and "discuss state affairs without holding office", such as Zhou Zhichanghong, Wei Zhi Boyu, Jin Zhishi Zhao, etc., are all representatives, and they are also the banner of the school palace to recruit scholars.
Zixia did not join the students, and his eyes were completely attracted by the largest building in the school palace.
……
The library that spends a lot of money to build, the building is tall, it is divided into three floors, there are 12 pavilions on each floor, the palaces and pavilions are surrounded by each other, the green trees are shady, the environment is elegant, the atmosphere is full, it is called "Shiqu Pavilion".
The reason why it is called Shiqu Pavilion is because of the architectural characteristics to get its name, the craftsman Gong Gong After that, Zhao Qing turned the money and silk that should have been used to build the palace to collect the "Spring and Autumn Period" of the countries, as well as various private silk books, bamboo slips, and oracle bones, and gathered them in Shiqu Pavilion, and finally made this a holy place of knowledge with thousands of books!
In this era when knowledge has not completely moved downward, historical books and classics are the carriers of knowledge, and whoever masters the books will have the right to speak academically, and who will become the center of attracting young scholars.
In the past six months, it is the Shiqu Pavilion that attracts scholars from all over the world to come here, and they only want to enter the pavilion to have a look. However, although those who come to the Linzhang School Palace do not refuse, Shiqu Pavilion is eligible to restrict: only the officials of the Zhao family, or those who have registered in the School Palace and practiced for more than half a year, can enter the Vipassana books!
This restriction is obvious, Shiqu Pavilion and Linzhang School Palace were originally opened by Zhao Wuxian in order to attract talents, if you want to acquire knowledge, you have to serve the Zhao family first, or honestly register in the school palace and stay up for half a year.
Unfortunately, Zixia happens to belong to the former, as the heir of the "diviner" who has served the Zhao family for generations, and there is a letter of introduction from the elders of the family, he is fully qualified to enter the cabinet.
Of course, it is only possible to visit the first, second and third floors of the three floors, which require higher qualifications.
Taking off his shoes and wearing only his clothes, Zixia and the Mengtong who came to visit the school palace followed the scribe who guarded the Shiqu Pavilion inside.
What catches your eye is a piece of light, Shiqu Pavilion has excellent lighting, although it has only been built for a few months, but it gives people a sense of oppression brought by the vicissitudes of time, Zixia was slightly silent, tidied up his clothes, calmed down, and walked in over the threshold.
As soon as I stepped inside, I smelled a breath: the smell of paper and ink, the smell of knowledge.
For a while, they seemed to be in the ocean of knowledge, not only Zixia was stupid, but those Mengtong were even more dumbfounded.
The little official who led them in explained with a smile: "The more precious originals are basically placed on the second and third floors, and if you want to go up, you need the permission of a few 'Mr. Linzhang', among which there are many extremely precious classics, if you want to watch them, you even have to get the permission of the secretary!" ”
Zixia nodded, regardless of whether this kind of regulation was necessary or not, but this emphasis on knowledge alone made him feel very comfortable......
But there is no need to go up to the second or third floor, just the first floor, looking all the way, Zi Xia's heart slowly became excited.
There are so many books here!
In the wide space, there are many bookshelves neatly arranged, and the bookshelves are arranged according to subjects and eras, and all the books that Zixia can think of are displayed on them, nestled together in different heights. "Poems", "Books", "Laws", "Music", "Spring and Autumn", everything, they are thousands, tens of thousands. It's like countless kings and wise men over the ages, who are silently watching him.
And it is worth noting that the first floor of this Shiqu Pavilion is all paper books!
Paper, this is undoubtedly Zhao's greatest honor to the world's scholars, in the country of Lu, with the development of the new method of the public transport class, paper gradually changed from a luxury to a daily necessities, and under the tilt of the policy, with a rapid speed to replace the silk book, but also forced the bamboo slips into a dead end, the craftsmen who made the bamboo slips have changed their careers, to do the work of cutting wood and bamboo.
Now this fashion has blown into the Jin Kingdom and Linzhang. Originally, in Wen County, there were already pen officials who specially copied the contents of bamboo slips onto paper. However, in Shiqu Pavilion, what is surprising is that volume after volume of books is constantly being moved out from the outside, with the pungent smell of ink on it, and the words on it are very old-fashioned, not like they are written, but carved out of a mold......
"It is impossible to reproduce so many bamboo slips and silk books just by relying on the scribes who copy books, could it be that Shiqu Pavilion has any tricks for producing books?"
Zi Xia had doubts in his heart, but this should belong to the Zhao family and Shiqu Pavilion are not humane secrets, at least not yet. Anyway, after having the ingenious Lu Ban, there are more and more new things in Jinlu, in the army, Zhao has an engineering weapon that can send a hundred catties of stones, and in the people, there are umbrellas, kites, and stone mills and waterwheels that can be driven by water power, and they are powered by water power, without people and animals running on their own, and the efficiency is ten times better than in the past......
So even if Lu Ban creates some new equipment that can produce thousands of books per day, Zixia doesn't think it's surprising, but he will be happy about it, feeling that he was born in a good era. Because he had heard the past of his father, Guangguang Bu learned a subject, and wanted to find a bamboo book to study, but it was difficult to go to the sky, so most of it was taught by the family, and he was able to receive more knowledge than his father from the year of the weak crown, thanks to Zhao Qing and Lu Ban for inventing paper.
He also heard that Zhao Shangqing also named Lu Ban as the "middle doctor", as the youngest "Mr. Linzhang" in the palace, he also took a group of hundreds of workers to settle in the palace, and held classes three times a month from time to time, teaching gold attack, torque, construction, ditch and other skills. Their discipline is called "examination engineering", and the scholars in the school palace are referred to as "engineering", because Lu Ban and other hundred workers were promoted and respected by Zhao Wuxian from the bottom one by one, so they are very supportive of the Zhao regime, and often boast of being "Shangqing loyal dog", so they have a nickname, called "engineering dog......
Let the low-status Baigong enter the school palace, and he is alongside the erudite and elegant gentleman, and it has also caused criticism from some scholars who think highly of themselves, but Zhao Wuxian's words made them silent.
"Linzhang School Palace, not to let people only cultivate morality, empty words, it is better to see what to do, but everything is related to the reality of the world. The scholars of the palace practice the knowledge that has been applied to the world, and these learnings, as long as they are beneficial to the country and the people, there is no distinction between high and low! In the future, not only will the hundred trade unions settle in the school palace, but also promote the field method for me in Lu State, so that millions of people in Jin and Lu can eat well, and Fan Chi, an agricultural official, will also be hired as Mr. Linzhang, so that the old farmers and old gardens in Lu will be Linzhang Shi and start agricultural science! You and others who claim to be gentlemen, Hugh should underestimate the hundred workers and old farmers, and the way they cultivate is also the way of Shennong and Dayu! ”
The spirit of learning the palace is difficult to help and the style of "gentleman Confucianism" among the disciples of Confucius who talk about morality forms a clear boundary, and it also makes Zi Xia's heart moved.
In history, Zi Xia, as a student of Confucius, did not abide by the way of Confucius like Yan Hui and Zeng Shen. He was an original and therefore heterodox thinker. His concern is no longer "self-denial and revenge", but the current politics that keeps pace with the times!
On this historical line, Zhao Wuxian's sentence of "applied to the world" made him enlightened, so Zixia did not go south to worship Confucius, but came to Linzhang Xue Palace......
Now after walking around the Shiqu Pavilion, he made up his mind, and after going back, he showed the elders of the family, temporarily stopped doing divination for the Zhao family, and came to the palace to practice for several years. He feels that here, he can meet many people who are stronger than himself, and his personality can learn more things by interacting with people who are stronger than himself, which is the premise of continuous progress......
Walking out of Shiqu Pavilion with this mood, the sky outside the pavilion seemed to be a little brighter, Zixia was about to take a look around the other places of the school palace and learn about the current main subjects in the school palace, but he was attracted by a debate......
A voice said loudly: "Everyone in the world knows that Xu Huan is really Zhao Qing's sister Ji Huan, and the Zhao family is willing to marry his sister in the face of the world's disapproval, which is indecent!" ”
