Chapter 722: Not only words, but also pictures

Tang Xun, Shen Kuo, and Su Song each glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked, and a red tide swept across their faces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Shen Kuo first looked at Tang Xun, then at Su Song, and then said with a little excitement: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, then the signature of this book"

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Whoever edited it will naturally leave his name." This set of books has a huge content, and it cannot be completed by one person. I estimate that the three hundred and sixty lines will need to be instructed by someone before you can complete the compilation. That's it, I estimate it will take more than 20 years."

This is not Lu Chengqi's nonsense, he has a basis. The Yongle Canon, known as the Encyclopedia of the Orient, took 30 years to complete, and it took six years to transcribe it again. Fortunately, the invention of lead movable type printing, otherwise, how many years would it take so many words!

Lu Chengqi saw that they were eager to try, and joked: "Once the book is written, you will be regarded as a celebrity through the ages." I will never cherish the broom, and after it is published as a book, it will be sold to the world. If any craftsman is willing to dedicate his unique skills, then he can also mark his name on the book, and maybe hundreds of years later, with the spread of this canon, he will be worshiped as his ancestor. "Lu Chengqi is not joking, the pre-Qin Shi Gong lost class is a good example, the skills are famous all over the world, the later generations of craftsmen, regardless of whether the craftsmanship is inherited in the same vein, are regarded as the originator of the mountain, if those craftsman apprentices, in the book inheritance of the craft, just like the literati scholars in the book to absorb knowledge, Confucius, Mencius and others as the sages of the truth is similar, will also be the three Zuo Cheng as the teacher of the like, if after thousands of years, other craft inheritance is broken, there is only this atlas handed down, then called the ancestor, It's not impossible.

Su Song pondered for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, this iron technique should also be recorded in the book, published in a book, and marketed to the world?" ”

Lu Chengqi shook his head and said: "Then how can it be done, this is the magic weapon of Dashun to defeat the enemy, not only this steel-making technique, but even lead movable type printing, medical skills, gunpowder, compass, papermaking, etc., we must cherish the broom and strictly prohibit the flow of technology." This set of books should be divided into an intra-palace edition and a folk edition. The folk version is a simple compilation of the basic methods of boat manufacturing, ordnance building technology, house architecture, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, etc., etc., extracting the representative skills that do not have much technical content, and collecting them into an atlas, printing hundreds of thousands of copies, and distributing them to the craftsmen and apprentices in the workshop, so that they can learn and study. Then it was also published as a book, so that all countries could learn the art of the Central Plains. As for the palace edition, it was revised to the highest technology of my Dashun, including steelmaking, shipbuilding, gunpowder, compass, lead movable type printing, papermaking, etc., a total of three sets were not printed, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to copy by hand, and they were placed in the Imperial Library, the Royal University Library and the Ordnance Superintendent, and only at my will, the approval of the Vice President of the Royal Universities, and the approval of the Ordnance Superintendent, can be borrowed. We also need to send people to manage it full-time to avoid moths and dampness."

Lu Chengqi said a lot of things freely, Tang Xun and the others finally understood one thing, it turned out that this little emperor was not so generous, and tried his best to "cherish himself". Also, Dashun's advantage is in science and technology, if Liao also has firearms, then Dashun simply surrendered, and there was no need to fight at all. It is also a good thing that Lu Chengqi wants to divide this set of books into two editions and strictly prohibit the leakage of the palace version. Although Tang Xun and the others have been busy "inventing" various things in the past two years, they have also heard about it, and on the side of the Supervision Department, they don't know how many enemy spies have been secretly executed.

Think about it, the Supervision Division is all over the world, and enemy spies can infiltrate Dashun. If this set of books is printed, it is estimated that in less than ten days, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji's desk has already been presented. There are only thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days. Divided into a folk version and a court version, it just solves this problem.

Moreover, the old Su Song also thought of a possibility, the little emperor's compilation of this set of books was a conspiracy. You know, the technology of the Han people is very fancy, and the cost is very high. Originally, the production of Liao and Goryeo was not abundant, but if it was followed up, within a few years, the national strength would be dragged down. In particular, the construction of the palace may hollow out the treasury of the Liao State and plunge the people of the Liao State into dire straits. At that time, there will definitely be many contradictions in Liao, and as long as Dashun exerts his strength in secret, he will be able to stir up the situation in Liao. After sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, after both sides are defeated, a large area of land in Liao will fall into the hands of Dashun.

Su Song is not a blind guess, but there is a basis. In addition to Taizu and Wenzong, who else in Dashun is the Emperor of Shengzong, who else is so bold that when Dashun is poor and white, he dares to show his sword to the Liao State? Only Emperor Hongxiang Lu Chengqi. Therefore, the world says that he is the master of Zhongxing, and Xiao Qi's ancestor, which also has a basis.

Su Song dared to guarantee that Lu Chengqi must also have this plan in his heart. Maybe Tang Xun and Shen Kuo also saw it, but they just didn't say it, so why did he talk too much?

While thinking about it, Shen Kuo opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty said that there is still a map, how can this lead movable type print the map?" ”

Lu Chengqi glanced at him: "Can't the page of the atlas be printed with wood engraving?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's the minister who is stupid" Shen Kuo suddenly realized, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly.

Lu Chengqi faintly felt that this was a sycophant to him. But Shen Kuo, the sycophant of a great scientist, Lu Chengqi was not useless, and said with a pleasant face: "Shen Qing, it's not what I said, you have to use your brain to do things, and you have to be sincere in being a talent." There are many things that can be done with the use of your brain. ”

Shen Kuo said: "Your Majesty is very right, the minister has been taught"

Tang Xun thought of one more thing: "Your Majesty handed over this matter to us, so how can the Royal University and the Weapons Supervisor be born?" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Royal University and the Ordnance Supervisor can already operate on their own without hindrance, so why should you supervise it all the time?" This encyclopedia brings together the world's garden architecture, ceramic boats, silk brocade silk, Danqing pen and ink, paper printing, ploughing and sowing, gold and silver plating, and compiles it into a book, which takes so much time and is beyond imagination. ”

Tang Xun was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "What Your Majesty said, the minister thinks so."

Su Song asked again: "Since this matter has been decided, what name does Your Majesty want to give this book?" ”

Lu Chengqi immediately said: "It's called Hongxiang Dadian, what do you think?" ”

"Good name!" The three of them were all flattered, and Lu Chengqi knew that this was picking up people's teeth, but they didn't know that there would be a Yongle Grand Ceremony and Four Pants in the future to lose all, oh no, it was just a Siku Quanshu.

"It's too early to say this, but the three Qing families can go back and start preparing, and when the court is over, they will immediately start compiling. 10,000 years is too long, I only seize the day! Lu Chengqi said with emotion, because he knew that time was running out before the rise of the Mongols. If the Han people survive this hurdle, they can enter a new stage, leaving the Western countries far behind, and if they can't do it, it will be just another time when the Han people are humiliated, and they will go through three humiliating stages: the Yuan Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the end of the Qing Dynasty

"I will never let history repeat itself!"

After swinging back the three of them, Lu Chengqi clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his fists rose sharply. To be continued.
