"He Shuai, you have to think about it clearly, the imperial court intends to abolish the feudal town, it is a flea on the bald head, obviously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info can be seen from the position of the envoy of the righteous army. The position of the envoy of the festival, the imperial court really intends to abolish it. Look at that Zhang Yichao, his heart is towards Datang, after hardships and dangers, it is easy to return to Datang, but he is treated like that, what kind of moderation is that? ’

'Poor ah, this position has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, which has been shed from the ancestors, and the horses are in charge of the army, and the people are in charge of the people. It is not only to maintain the place, but also to collect taxes and manage the people, He Shuai is also to the court, just like the old slave, not to mention the merits, there is also hard work, to the Tang Dynasty, to the royal family is loyal, but alas, it is not in the eyes of the law today, and now it is a long time, and it is a day to do it. Maybe one day this old life will be taken away by God. ’

'The old slave doesn't matter, now he is about to step into the coffin, but He Shuai is different, he doesn't think about himself, but also thinks about his children and grandchildren. It is not easy for the He family to obtain this foundation, when the old man also contributed to the imperial court, made meritorious contributions, sweated and spilled blood, first stabilized Wei Bo's situation, did not let it deteriorate, and then recruited Li Shidao for meritorious service. During He Shuai's tenure, Wei Bo was also the country and the people, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the soldiers supported him. ’

But what does the faint monarch know, so that the festival envoy should be abolished, this is not the intention of the princes of the political hall, but the intention of the faint monarch alone. Is He Shuai willing to tie his hands and let that faint gentleman do whatever he wants? Look at that Youzhou, when Zhang Shuai was alive, he conquered the Uighurs, Shanxi, and made great contributions, if there was no him, the faint king of Chang'an could sit on the throne and sit back and relax? ’

But now his son has entered the Beijing Division, but he has been given an empty general, and he doesn't even have a title, but it is a pity that Zhang Shuai has done his best for the court all his life, and after he died, his descendants have not had a good end. ’

In Weizhou City, a eunuch was nagging in front of a heroic man, the man's posture was straight, his eyes were full of majesty, and the idlers did not dare to look at him.

The man let the eunuch chatter and didn't say a word, which made the old eunuch a little discouraged, and after saying so much, He Jintao just didn't react at all, he seemed to be talking to the air.

'Father-in-law is finished?' After waiting for a while, seeing that the eunuch stopped talking, the man finally spoke, his voice was low, concise and shocking, seeing that the eunuch stopped talking, the guards from a distance hurriedly came over to take the eunuch out.

Knowing that he was sending off a guest, and not knowing whether he had achieved his goal, the eunuch was so boring that he could only leave, and before leaving, he turned his head and said, 'If He Shuai thinks more about the old slave, the old slave will not harm you.' After that, he turned his head and left, leaving He Shuai alone and sitting quietly in the study.

Now, it's been five years in junior high school, and time flies so fast. Today, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fourth year of the big middle school, there is a drive as usual, and this year there is a little trick in the drive. There are a lot more special dolls.

Under the influence of Li Chen, Chang'an's expulsion became more and more like a parade. Last year, there were a few more floats, with huge dolls on them, and colorful lights, of course, not electric lights, but huge oil lamps, with metal basins as smooth as bowls, using optical principles to focus light, which is also very bright.

The pillar of light can still be moved, the bowl mouth is specially designed, the base of the oil lamp is not moving, and the light can shine in other directions through refraction. Although the lighting is not sufficient compared to modern times, it is dazzling enough. And the colorful color is made of thin silk.

In addition to the floats this year, the most attractive thing is a few special styles of dolls, wrong, puppets, they are not human, they are Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy Dog.

..........That's right, in order to coax children, Li Chen created comic books. On the basis of children's books, comic books were created. There are many patterns in children's books, and Li Chen has made comic books with more patterns on top of this.

How? Spend a lot of money to do it. It's troublesome. Li Chen came up with movable type printing, and the cost of printing books is now very low. The tin movable type is used, with special special paper and ink, and the printing effect can only be said to be okay. In fact, the best is copper type, but copper is very expensive. Lead type, lead is poisonous, so I have to use tin.

What about drawings? Drawings can only be made with engravings. Very troublesome. Drawings are engraved on wooden boards with engraving plates and printed with movable type. I can't think of any way to engrave a picture for the time being.

Because of this trouble, in fact, basically, every children's book is very expensive. It's simple to be black and white, but if you want to be colorful... That's complicated. Those craftsmen have been studying for a long, long, long time.

Nowadays, Datang can print six colors, and under Li Chen's prompt, using the incompatibility of water and oil, six colors can be printed on a plate.

But comics, how can you use so much. Even in later generations, comics are mostly black and white, and children's books are the same. In order to promote children's books, Li Chen has endured a lot of losses, basically selling one at a loss, but there is no way to promote it. There are very few that will use six-color printing, and at present, only the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is printed in this way.

The Tang Dynasty also had a compendium of materia medica? Of course not, this is a book that has been written in the Tang Dynasty after Li Chen expanded the Taiyi Department, based on it, and then revised it.

The newly revised Materia Medica, with 53 volumes, was promulgated in the fourth year of Xianqing, which took two years. Basically, it is a book of medicine, divided into three parts: materia medica, diagram and diagram. Its foundation is Tao Hongjing of the Liang Dynasty, and new knowledge is added to it.

Does Li Chen have too much spare money, since he has a copy, why bother making it up? Of course, it's not that there is too much spare money. Do you know how many kinds of medicine there are in the Compendium of Materia Medica? 1892 species. There are more than 1,000 kinds of new herbs. More than a thousand, and a whole number with fractions. It can be seen that the materia medica of the Tang Dynasty is still far from enough.

In addition, the newly revised Materia Medica is divided into three parts. The first is basically text-only, based on the Materia Medica's Commentary, with the addition of 14 new medicines and commentaries.

The second part is the medicine map. After the national drug census, a color map of various authentic medicinal materials was drawn. The third part is the Book of Pictures, which is a textual description of the medicine map, recording the origin, type, and characteristics of the drug, as well as the collection and burning methods.

As a result, this set of books was lost shortly after it was written. It's very blind, isn't it, only the first volume has been handed down, and the second and third parts are gone. At the beginning, Li Chen intended to revise the Materia Medica, and he was quite happy to hear that there was such a book in the Tang Dynasty, but when he heard that the book was lost soon after it was completed, he almost didn't curse.

As a result, he put a heavy reward on him, and asked Jinyi to investigate and secretly visit, and finally found a set. This time it can't be seen again, Li Chen ordered to add to it. Continue to increase the number of herbs, revise the effects of medical books, and redefine the efficacy of each herb. Li Chen's order to the Imperial Physician Department was that it must be re-tested to see if the properties of the medicine were correct.

Don't say that it must be correct, otherwise how can it be called a medical book. Li Chen remembered that even Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, which was passed on to future generations, was found to be wrong. He didn't remember the details, but the person who revised the Materia Medica may not have even experimented with it himself, or the effect was misunderstood by him.

What Li Chen has to do is to use scientific methods to verify whether this effect is correct. Li Chen ordered the Imperial Medical Department to re-conduct the experiment on the basis that the medicinal properties were wrong. This is a lot of work, and if it weren't for the expansion of the number of students enrolled by the Tai Medical Department, it would never have been completed.

In addition, Li Chen's Compendium of Materia Medica, which has been slightly revised, is still three volumes. The difference is that in the first volume, the name, sex, and function of the drug are recorded... And so on, with pictures, to be honest, it's really blind without pictures.

The first volume of the new Materia Medica is basically a dry text. There is only a text description, and there are no pictures attached for people's reference, which is really dangerous. Relying on words alone, without physical objects, or even pictures, it is inconvenient to remember 100 million, and it is possible to admit mistakes.

When there is a problem with the medicine, is it looking for you, or is it looking for the medicine? Your doctor must be in charge. As a result, there are only words, no pictures, you are a medical worker, and your understanding of medicine is not as good as that of grabbing medicine? Li Chen attached the appearance of the herbs before and after the fire, and others didn't say it, he himself looked more pleasing to the eye.

Haha, off topic. From the comics, I suddenly pulled to the compendium of materia medica. In short, Li Chen spared no expense to print medical books with six-color printing. Comics are black and white pictures. But it's enough to deal with. Then he created what he used to watch as a child, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy Dog come out.

Although it is to coax children, since it has been created, Li Chen will not waste it. He used charcoal to hastily draw the pattern and let people perfect. Later, I saw that it was very popular, and even the older students of the elementary school liked it.

Li Chen simply spent some money and used woodcut engraving to print a few copies for the first time. The effect was unexpectedly good, and the supply exceeded demand as soon as it was listed. Comic Li Chen didn't sell at a loss like a children's book, a book that was not thick would cost hundreds of words. It can make the family live for days.

However, demand still exceeds supply. It seems that there are actually quite a few rich people in Datang. After that, he gritted his teeth and simply carved it into a copper plate, which was widely printed, and he brushed 10,000 copies for the first time.

Why use copper plates? The copper plate has a good effect and can be preserved for a long time. Before the technology of printing pictures became widespread, this could be reprinted many times.

If one day, the picture printing technology is popularized, this kind of engraving can also become a treasure, don't you see those American comics, printed so much, decades later, the value has also increased many times? Therefore, printing with copper plates can be counted in one fell swoop, although it is a little more expensive. It's a good deal.

Li Chen's abacus sounded, what was the result? It was unexpectedly good. The first 10,000 copies were sold out. 10,000 copies were urgently printed, and they were sold out. Probably because of the large volume, the price has been reduced a lot. As a result, more people can afford it. Even the Wa Kingdom bought a thousand copies.

Seeing a business opportunity, Suleiman printed 10,000 copies in large quantities, and he changed the Chinese script to Tianfang. Because the text is attached. Unlike modern comics, the text is all in the dialog box, and there are adverbials. In order to reduce the difficulty of engraving, the text is attached to it. Suleiman changed the text to Tianfang, and it actually sold well, and the quantity was not lost to the Tang Dynasty.

Only then will there be a drive, and there will be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy Dog. A lot of children were running after them with great joy. drove into the imperial city, and several children were also elated. This year's Chinese New Year is relatively lively.

After the New Year, it was a good year. There is nothing big about Datang. Regarding the unstable situation in the sky and the increase in pirates, Li Chenyi asked the merchant ships to increase some armaments. Several of his fast-class hard-sailed fast sailing ships are very fast, and they are not too afraid of pirates, it is difficult for them to catch up with the ship, and add some armament, but better protect the sailors on board.

Secondly, he also officially began to study warships. Suitable for warships at sea. It was on that island that the research and development of Datang's new generation of warships began. The traditional Chinese warship is really not suitable for going to sea, and it is easy to capsize due to crosswinds. The center of gravity of the five-tooth warship is too high to be used for sea navigation, so it must be re-studied.

I believe that if there are warships, the Datang Navy will soon be able to become an army. At present, under his influence, the fishing industry is extremely developed, the fishing boats are getting bigger and bigger, and they are also equipped with mechanical nooses, which can cast larger nets, make up bigger fish, and there are more sailors, and there is no shortage of naval soldiers.

Regarding the rumors, Li Chen dealt with it. Don't refute rumors, don't make any statements, or treat it coldly. Secretly, step up the pursuit of Jinyi, who is spreading rumors. The rumors about disarmament in the old army in Beijing were spread by some family members of the old army. Li Chen dispatched Jinyi to secretly collect evidence, and sent orders from Chang'an County and Wannian County to arrest him. On charges of conspiracy to commit crimes, these people were sent to exile. Silence the rumors.

And the source of the rumors that he was going to abolish the post of Temperance Envoy was also detected. It's actually a town guard eunuch. The eunuchs of the towns of each domain.

The reason why Datang is not very enthusiastic about feudal towns is that seriously speaking, in fact, many feudal towns have eunuchs who are responsible for supervising the army. It is not known how much function it plays, but it has always been there, symbolizing that the Tang Dynasty has to monitor the feudal town.

Li Chen killed eunuchs in Beijing, and the number of eunuchs in the palace decreased sharply. Although he did not move those eunuchs who supervised the army, when the deadline expired, he was transferred to a location and continued to appoint. But I don't know, it's because the rabbit died and the fox is sad, or because Li Chen is in Longxi and didn't send any prison troops, which arouses their vigilance, and it is more likely because he smells that the eunuch group is at the end of the road. They actually spread rumors that the Tang Dynasty was going to abolish the Jiedu envoy in the palace of the envoy of a feudal town.

Although not all eunuchs are preaching, there are quite a few people who spread it. Recently, some feudal towns have been envoys to ask if this is true.

Li Chen had to refute the rumors, and let the Hanlin scholar take charge of it, and published it in the Suncheon Daily in his name, and the relevant report would not abolish the post of Jiedu envoy. It can be regarded as a precedent for the emperor to publish a report from the Qing Dynasty.

However, the situation did not improve because of this, just after the fifteenth day of the New Year, the news of the earth-shattering came that Youzhou Jiedu made himself independent and no longer obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
