Not long after the monarch Liu Xi and his subordinate Liu Cun entered the study, the palace attendants came out to announce the monarch's edict: "Your Excellency, come here tonight for the time being, please go home and rest." ”

It wasn't until the next morning that the civil and military ministers who rushed to the palace to wait for the monarch to convene a meeting did not know that the private conversation between the monarch and Liu Cun did not end until dawn.

The monarch did not hold the morning meeting because he was sleeping, and the energetic Liu Cun humbly thanked his colleagues at a banquet at noon, and led the guards back to Langya in the afternoon of the same day.

No one knows what Liu Cun and the monarch said in their hearts, and no one knows what the monarch quietly summoned the minister Yin De and Cheng Bing to talk about the next night, and no one knows why the monarch and the minister of the state jointly sent the major event of requesting the reduction of the fiefdom to the imperial court without a routine discussion.

On the morning of July 24, the second year of Zhongping, on the morning of the sixth day after the monarch and Liu Cun had a secret talk, Neishi Cangci suddenly announced a number of important personnel adjustments on behalf of the monarch:

The first item was to recruit Xu Yi, a famous man from Dongguan, as the magistrate of Dong'an County, and to reward Yan Shen, the left lieutenant of Langya County, who had made great achievements in the conquest of the Yellow Turban thieves, and promoted him to the lieutenant of Dong'an County;

Second, Zhao Rong, a famous pottery scholar of the Expedition Museum, was appointed as the Dongguan County Order, and the 20,000 displaced people stranded in Wangcheng would be moved to Dongguan within a month;

the third item, appointing Liu Ye, the new historian of the kingdom and the prince of southern Henan, as the commander of Langya County;

Fourth, Liu Cunlangya was relieved of his post as the county commander and transferred to the Dongwu county commander; Commend Zhai Yue, the right lieutenant of Langya County, who made great achievements in the conquest of the Yellow Turban thieves, and promoted him to the lieutenant of Dongwu County!

In addition, the monarch Liu Xi also passed on the edict: he will attend the inauguration ceremony of Langya Academy on the ninth day of September with friends such as Zheng Xuan, Beihai famous scholar Guan Ning and Bing Yuan!

As soon as the series of announcements was released, it immediately caused a shock in the officialdom and Shilin of Langya State, and the news of the gathering ceremony of Langya Academy, the monarch Liu Xi and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan and other celebrities in the world gathered at the ceremony, like growing wings and flying to all parts of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Cun, who returned to Xiahe City, settled Ji Wei's family who moved from Ju County, appointed Ji Wei as the Cheng of Dongwu County, and took the lead in going to Dongwu City, which had been rebuilding and there was no county order, to make preliminary preparations, and then held a meeting for three consecutive days, and quietly returned to his home in Zhushan on the morning of the fourth day to enjoy family fun with his wife and children.

Under the leadership of a group of henchmen, Liu Cun's subordinates were like a high-speed machine rumbling and accelerating, and the civil and military officials in the Langya County Yazhong finally saw Liu Cun's strong strength, as well as Liu Cun's unsparing recommendation of his henchmen, and invariably gave up the small abacus in their hearts and devoted all their energy to government affairs.

In order to make the inauguration ceremony of Langya Academy on the ninth day of September a world-renowned event, Liu Zheng took Liu Zhen, an increasingly intelligent and capable son, to major workshops every day during his seven-day stay in Zhushan, to inspect the application of various new technologies, and once again rewarded a group of craftsmen who made important contributions to technological innovation and transformation.

Three days later, Liu Cun went to the courtyard of the mountain, where 35 craftsmen from various workshops and three senior Mengxue gentlemen had secretly worked for nearly a year, to appraise the engraving printing technology and dozens of improved inks that had been secretly developed for more than half a year, and then began to carefully print 3,000 copies of the Analects and 3,000 copies of the Tao Te Ching under the unified command of Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen and all the participants who were awarded the important task were extremely excited, how difficult it was for nearly 50 people to make unremitting efforts for a year, everyone knew how many people's hard work and hope were involved in the successful development of three kinds of paper and engraving printing, and gradually understood how great the shock and change it brought to the world.

Therefore, in the face of the freshly printed pages that exuded humor and fragrance, the eyes of the three respected Mr. Mengxue and many craftsmen flashed with tears, and they choked up and said that they were fortunate to participate in this great event in the past and the present, and it was worth dying!

After two days of printing, the printing task of 6,000 books was successfully completed, and the results obtained fully met Liu Cun's expectations.

Although Liu Cun did not insist on using punctuation marks under the opposition of the gentlemen of the school and most of the carvers, Liu Cun has been satisfied with this step today, and at the same time deeply feels that any innovation and change of traditional concepts can not be achieved overnight, and will encounter all kinds of stubborn concepts to obstruct, to change the outdated and backward concepts, and establish a set of new ideas and new systems, he still has a long way to go, and he needs to continue to work hard and keep forging ahead in order to achieve the goal.

Liu Cun did not feel much excitement when he let go of his worries, on the contrary, the resistance of his subordinates and craftsmen to his many improvement measures made him more and more anxious.

After repeated consideration and repeated weighing, Liu Cun decided not to wait, no longer to try to persuade one by one, but to break through all the resistance with his own strength, and completely reform the old weights and measures system that is extremely unscientific and seriously hinder technological progress and innovation, and comprehensively promote the "new system of weights and measures" that he carefully formulated but could not implement for more than half a year, so as to achieve rapid improvement in production efficiency and based on this, Gradually formulate a scientific and unified industrial standard system, even if it cannot be extended due to the imperial court ban, Liu Cun must enforce it in the major industrial enterprises under his command that are getting larger and larger.

The red sun erupted from the end of the distant sea level, and more than 10 guards under Liu Cun's command rushed to the major workshops on horses, and notified Huo Jian, the master craftsman in charge of the overall construction work, Qi Qing, the head of the shipbuilding workshop, Cai You, the head of the iron workshop, Li Huang, the head of the pottery workshop, Fan Jie, the head of the textile workshop, and Yu Chen, the head of the salt factory, to hold a meeting in the dock shipbuilding workshop.

Liu Cun and his son Liu Zhen had not yet entered the spacious conference room of the shipbuilding workshop, and more than 20 directors and deputy directors of various departments who arrived in advance saluted in unison.

The guards put down the tray and turned to leave, Liu Cun, who was still standing, motioned for everyone to sit down, took out a slender copper ruler with exquisite workmanship from the tray on the table in front of him, stroked it lovingly for a moment, raised his head and looked at the anxious participants: "Everyone, I remember that seven months ago, we worked hard together to make this copper ruler in my hand, as well as a piece of weights and measures standard tools on the table, and according to the series of standards jointly formulated, we made 300 sets of such weights and measures standard tools, but, until today, These new systems of weights and measures, which embody a lot of effort and wisdom of myself and you, have not yet been implemented in our major workshops, and I am very sad to say from the bottom of my heart! ”

Many people quietly lowered their heads, embarrassed to look at Liu Cun.
