Chapter 108: See the Book of Wonders
It was agreed that Jiang Hexing wanted to talk to Wang Yi about more cooperation between the two sides, and it was best for the new dynasty to pay for it, and Jiang Hexing would send someone to help him build the road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info just this item, I don't know how much wealth will flow into Pingzhou.
Before Jiang Hexing came to talk, a group of people came to find Wang Yi, and Jiang Hexing had to take Xu Lang and Zhang Meng back to the Barbarian Pavilion.
After going back, Jiang Hexing immediately sent a fast horse back, using a big boat and pulling a four-wheeled carriage, which was sold to the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an in the future. Once these dignitaries get used to this kind of car, hehe, this benefit is unimaginable.
Jiang Hexing had just returned to the Barbarian Pavilion, and before he sat on the chair, someone from the door came to report that someone was coming from the palace.
Jiang Hexing came out and saw that there was a slightly chubby middle-aged man holding a yellow box in his hand. The man said that he was a eunuch, Jiang Hexing looked at him carefully for a long time, and saw that he had an Adam's apple and a beard, how could he be a eunuch?
Fortunately, Xu Lang actually knew him, and Jiang Hexing no longer hesitated and took the yellow box.
The eunuch also said that the emperor knew that Jiang Hexing had arrived in Chang'an, so he would send a book to Jiang Hexing first, and let Jiang Hexing read the book first. Jiang Hexing took the yellow box, and the eunuch went back to restore his life.
Jiang Hexing returned to the house, opened the yellow box and saw that it was a book, "Zhou Li".
Jiang Hexing doesn't like these books, many of them seem to be too difficult, and they generally can't read the beginning. Okay now, not only Xu Lang, but Yang Xiong has also been here recently, there is such a master, are you still afraid that you won't understand?
After a while, Yang Xiong was invited. Jiang Hexing opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Yang, are you happy to live here recently?" ”
Yang Xiong smiled slightly: "Xie Heshun cares, and he feels much better recently." ”
Jiang Hexing nodded, he had a doubt just now, that eunuch was not a eunuch, he asked directly.
Xu Lang and Yangxiong laughed, Jiang Hexing was inexplicable, weren't the eunuchs all eunuchs?
Xu Lang explained to Jiang Hexing: "Eunuchs are only servants of the emperor, not all eunuchs. (After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were changed to all purifications)
Jiang He was a little ashamed of his ignorance, so he said: "I know too little about these, you tell me more, last time I came over, I gave the emperor a set of "Five Classics". He gave me a copy of "Weekly Gifts" today, which can be regarded as a return gift. Tell me about the weekly rites. ”
Yang Xiong explained to Jiang Hexing that now Wang Mang is relying on Zhou etiquette to govern the world, and giving Jiang Hexing this book may not be a return gift. It just gave him an understanding of what the imperial court was doing, and also let Jiang Hexing understand Wang Mang's painstaking administration.
Xu Lang said that he hadn't read "Zhou Li", and Jiang Hexing handed the book to Xu Lang. The room was still a little gloomy, and Xu Lang suggested that he should go under the walnut tree and discuss the book while drinking tea and reading a book.
Yang Xiong greatly appreciated.
Jiang Hexing immediately found someone to arrange, and then the three of them went out to the walnut tree. Jiang Hexing supported Yang Xiong to walk in front, Xu Lang held the book, read it as he walked, and followed slowly behind.
On the way, Jiang Hexing told Yangxiong what he had seen and heard in Sikong Mansion today.
Yang Xiong asked, "Are you going to sell your four-wheeled carriage?" ”
Jiang Hexing said: "Yes, you also see my four-wheeled carriage, isn't it good?" ”
Yangxiong patted Jiang Hexing's shoulder and said, "He Shunhou, smart one, confused for a while." ”
Jiang Hexing was very surprised, and asked Yang Xiong why he couldn't.
Yang Xiong said, that hustle and bustle has been spoken, this is not in line with Zhou etiquette. Now the imperial court governs the world based on Zhou Li, and how can the car in Zhou Li have four wheels.
Jiang Hexing thought to himself, is this not in line with Zhou etiquette? Obviously, my car is much better than which car, is there a ******** in the car?
Jiang Hexing asked Yang Xiong rhetorically, didn't Wang Yi know about this?
Yang Xiong told Jiang Hexing that Wang Yi has always been a person who loves and dilutes the mud, and no one can be offended, so he did this. And he definitely won't use this car, because it's not in line with Zhou etiquette, no matter how good it is, he won't use it.
Jiang Hexing thought about it, what Yang Xiong said made sense, it seems that when dealing with Wang Mang now, you must first look at Zhou Li, no wonder Wang Mang also sent this book over.
As he spoke, several people came to the walnut tree. Someone had already arranged it, and the three of them sat down, and on the black table in front of them, the tea had already been brewed.
Yang Xiong was already very familiar with them, picked up the teacup, drank it all, and said in his mouth: "Good tea, good tea." ”
At this time, Xu Lang was still walking behind slowly, holding Zhou Li with his head down, and kept chanting: "Okay, good." ”
Jiang Hexing shouted: "Mr. Xu, I'm going to touch the tree." ”
Xu Lang raised his head, looked at Jiang Hexing and Yangxiong in confusion and said, "Heshun Hou, good book, good book, why haven't I read it before?" ”
As he spoke, he walked to the black table, grabbed the book in one hand and the teacup in the other, and took a sip first. Then he looked at Yang Xiong and said, "Mr. Yang, this book is a strange book, why haven't I seen it before?" ”
Yang Xiong said: "Hehe, this book was hidden before, and not many people know about it." Liu Xin found this book in the library and mentioned it to me, and I also read it, it is a very good book. ”
Xu Lang sat down, pointed to the book with his hand, looked at Yang Xiong and said, "Mr. Yang, you should tell us about it, I don't have the ability to talk about it." ”
Yang Xiong said: "In this way, you first look at the part about the car in the back, and you can talk to He Shun about it first." ”
Xu Lang flipped directly to the back, looked up and down a few times, and sighed: "Mr. Yang, you are really familiar with this book, and Shunhou, the regulations on cars here are really careful, I think our car is different from this." ”
Jiang Hexing also took the book and read it for a while, no wonder these craftsmen today are so bold, it turns out that they have the support of this book.
The last part of the book is a description of various crafts, even the construction of the car is described in great detail, and even the size is specified, such as the height of the chariot is six feet and six inches.
Of course, these dimensions are not the same as the four-wheeled carriages of Jianghexing, which is not a big problem, but once Zhou Li is promoted to the ruling blueprint by Wang Mang, only those with the same book are right, and the other cars are politically incorrect.
No wonder that craftsman was so justifiable to confront Chen Mao, and Wang Yi was helpless, these regulations were written so specifically, of course they had the ability to define what a real car was.
After reading this, Jiang Hexing put down the book, turned his head, and said to Yangxiong: "I don't seem to understand this book, you better tell us about it." ”
Yang Xiong looked Jiang Hexing up and down and asked: "He Shunhou, I also asked in the past two days, and they all said that you are from a distant republic, and I heard that you are all descendants of the Zhou Dynasty, have you really not seen this book?" ”
Jiang Hexing shook his head and said: "I don't like to read much, I don't know much, and besides, we have too many books there, and I'm not very interested in these ancient books." ”
Yang Xiong said: "This book was a little strange when I read it, it didn't feel like a book of the Zhou Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
