257 Trivia (Part II)

To be honest, if it is just such a tripod, it is really meaningless to reward more and give less. But the problem is, it's not a tripod problem. If he gave more rewards this time, making others feel that it was profitable, and as soon as someone dug up something, he would send it to him, even if he had a mountain of gold, it would not be enough to toss so much. But at such a festive time, people sent such a good thing, if the reward was less, not to mention anything else, it would be certain that they would lose their royal face.

This question really made Liu Hong worried. He wondered if he was an antique lover, it would be better. After all, if you like it, it's worth spending a little more. But the problem is that Liu Hong's hobbies are the same as those of dragons and women, and they are all interested in gold and sparkling gemstones. As for these dirty broken copper and iron, bottles and cans buried in the ground, I don't have a good impression at all. Therefore, he is really reluctant to let him spend a lot of money to "buy" these things.

"By the way, I'll just give him some rewards. In this way, not only will it not cost me money. And I can also ask the imperial court to make a special assessment of these things, so that those who want to take advantage of it will basically have no fun. ”

After making up his mind, Liu Hong handled it like this. After evaluation, the person who sent the tripod was invited to attend Liu Hong's wedding together with other people who came to send the tripod at the same time as he got the title of earl. After all, Empress Dowager Dong's newly built courtyard is to entertain people like them. So, I don't care about adding a few more of them. But in this way, it also shows the royal style.

After arranging these people to send the tripod to the post station, Liu Hong looked at this big tripod and was worried. After all, such a big thing, and so precious, where to put it?

"Forget it, I'm going to build a museum. With something like that, it's all where to put it. ”

As soon as he finished arranging the affairs of Kyushu Ding, Liu Hong began to ponder, "So many people spontaneously came to express their hearts to him." As the emperor, he doesn't want to say that he has accepted the hearts of these people, even if he doesn't accept it, he must repay it and express his gratitude. ”

But it's not easy to thank these people for giving back. After all, these people. Most of them just put down their things and left, without even leaving their names. Even if he wanted to thank and repay others, he couldn't find anyone.

"Since we can't find a specific person, we can only report back to the whole people." After making up his mind, Liu Hong began to ponder. In what way should we repay the whole people?

"Do you want to celebrate with the whole world? Tax-free and food-free? "Come to think of it. Liu Hong shook his head directly, "It's easy for me to be tax-free here, and it's done with one mouth." However, after the tax is exempted, what will the imperial court do to maintain it? ”

Since Liu Hong ascended the throne, he has made major reforms to the tax burden. The tax burden on the common people is not heavy. And now there are many projects in the imperial court, which need to be maintained by taxes, if he is exempted from taxes, this imperial court. Eight achievements cannot be sustained.

"Otherwise, I'll open those low-tech patent projects to the whole people. Use this thing to give back to the whole people. ”

Liu Hong pondered, this thing is really good. After all, those low-tech projects, after such a long time, have long been cracked, and they are basically in name only. It makes little sense to keep it or not. And he can also lead the people to develop in industry and commerce in this way. As for their royal family, as long as they control the heavy industry, control the resources of the Han Dynasty, and try their best to develop high technology, no one will pose a threat to them.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong arranged it. After all, such a thing should happen sooner rather than later. He thought that when these things were done, he could catch his breath. Unexpectedly, Tian Feng came to report again, "Your Majesty, the "Siku Quanshu" compiled by Tai Academy has been completed. ”

"Ah, the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu" has been completed!" Liu Hong remembered that it took seven years to compile the "Siku Quanshu" in later generations, and he only had more than four years, so how could it be finished. Therefore, he looked at Tian Feng suspiciously and asked, "Make no mistake, this is too fast, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, make no mistake, the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu" has really been completed." Tian Feng said solemnly: "Originally, according to the progress, it will take a while. However, as soon as the people in charge of the compilation heard that His Majesty's wedding was approaching, they worked overtime. The intention is to complete it before His Majesty's wedding, and to present a gift for His Majesty's wedding. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded. Now he has also reacted, there are many fewer books at this time than in later generations, so the compilation time of the same "Siku Quanshu" is definitely much less than that of later generations.

"Now that the compilation has been completed, let's hurry up the publication and printing, and strive to equip at least one set of libraries in each county and every school above the county level before my wedding."

Liu Hong is very resolute about this matter. He didn't want to be like later generations, compiling books just to save face. Books such as "Yongle Canon", "Siku Quanshu" and so on, which were compiled with great effort, were only printed in one or two sets. And because of this, the two sets of ancient books have all been lost.

For Liu Hong's attitude, Tian Feng was quite happy. After all, he was born as a reader, and he understands the meaning of books very well. In particular, if this kind of ancient book is popularized, it will be of great significance to those who read it. Therefore, he happily accepted the order.

At this moment, the people can be regarded as lively. Liu Hong's release of some patent projects has not yet gone down, and the "Siku Quanshu" has set off another boom.

Open up some patent projects to benefit all people, even if you don't run them. But without patent fees, the price of these items will definitely be reduced. However, although this benefit is great, in the eyes of the people, it is still far less significant than the "Siku Quanshu" to them.

The Han Dynasty now has universal education, and all Han people can be called scholars. Needless to say, the importance of books to readers is to create a future for them. All of this has been counted by the people on the head of Liu Hong's wedding, so people are looking forward to Liu Hong's wedding even more.

And the gift project is far from being finished in the "Siku Quanshu". A large number of projects, all of which are working overtime, are to rush to Liu Hong's wedding and present gifts to Liu Hong. Here, the most important thing is the completion of the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang and the Grand Canal project. The joy of the completion of these two projects has not yet gone down, and there is good news that the giant ship that has been developed and built for more than ten years has finally been completed. In this way, it also means that the Age of Discovery is finally about to begin. (To be continued......)
