Chapter 40 Datang Academy of Science and Technology - Duhe
"The minister is here!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted, Du He instinctively stood up, but his expression was a little depressed, these big people always like to play suddenly, which makes people feel empty.
"I want to set up a science and technology institute to engage in various research and technological inventions for my Datang, and you will be in charge of the science and technology academy personally!" In addition, you invented this movable type printing, which has contributed to my Tang Dynasty, and I have crowned you as the founding county uncle, and I have sealed 350 households! Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, he didn't believe that Du He only had these two moments. When I chatted with Du He in the past, I found that Du He's knowledge was extremely extensive, and some of the things he said, even if he, the Tang Emperor Yanjing, did not know.
At first, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now I look back at it and it's worth recalling.
Li Shimin is a meritocracy, squeezing out all the merits of his talents, since Du He was able to invent papermaking and movable type printing, then some others should not be a problem.
Hearing this, Du Ruhui immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, the dog is a military position, and it is not easy to be a civilian, and this reward is too heavy for the dog to bear!" ”
Li Shimin personally revised the knighthood system a few years ago, and the knighthood system was set to nine ranks: the first class is the king, the food is ten thousand households, and the product is one product; The second class is the heir king, the county king, and there are 5,000 households in the food town, from the first product; The third class is the national prince, and the three dry households of the food and eup, from the first product; The fourth class is the founding county duke, the second dry household of the food estate, and the second grade; The fifth class is the founding county of the country, and the food is five hundred households, from the second grade; The sixth class is the founding county marquis, with 1,000 households in the food district, from the second grade; The seventh class is the founding county uncle, with 700 households in the food district, and it is on the fourth grade; The eighth class is the founding county, with 500 households in the food district, and the fifth grade is on the top; The ninth class is a male in the founding county, with 300 households in the food estate, from the fifth grade. But most of this is false, and only those who add real fiefs can enjoy the tax income of their fiefs.
Just like Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji's national dukedoms, the national duke's food is set as three dry households, but they can only enjoy the treatment of 1,300 households, because his actual seal is only 1,300 households, and the same is true for others. In the county of Ruduhe, there are 500 households, but only 100 households are allocated.
Generally speaking, this real feudal food is often less than double that of the false feudal food yip, but Du He rewarded 350 households, accounting for half of the 700 households in the false feudal food eup, so he was extremely honored.
That's why Du Ruhui said that the reward was too heavy and he couldn't afford it.
Li Shimin smiled disapprovingly, and said: "The skillful work and the wise worry, and the incompetent have nothing to ask for. As for the sealing, I thought that with the merits of a virtuous son-in-law, I would be able to receive this honor. With a wave of his hand, he let Du Ruhui retreat without giving him a chance to reply.
Du He was stunned, his face was anxious, and he hurriedly shouted: "Father-in-law, this little son-in-law is very weak, where can he be a talent!" "He himself has some ability, how he himself does not know. I was able to shine in papermaking and movable type printing, just because I was a traverser, but I didn't have much real talent. Holding him on the throne is undoubtedly a move to catch ducks on the shelves.
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, there seemed to be a murderous aura in his eyes, and there were some threats: "Could it be that Du Aiqing thinks that my vision is wrong?" Or are you saying that my rewards and punishments are unknown? He chewed the words and said the three words "Du Aiqing" very seriously.
Du He was dumbfounded, this virtuous son-in-law stopped screaming, the stinky boy stopped screaming, and changed his name to "Du Aiqing" What's the point of this, is it possible that if you don't agree, you will withdraw your quasi-concubine, or secretly play tricks, so that the idea of hugging left and right will fail.
"Uh......" thought about it and thought about it, but still felt that his future father-in-law couldn't be offended, anyway, he still had a few brushes, which could also be used to fill up the number at the right time, and he also said stubbornly: "What is the matter, the father-in-law knows people and uses people, far better than the ancient Wen King Wuwang, the little son-in-law admires the five-body throwing to the ground, that admiration, such as the Yellow River flooding, gushing, out of control......" said a lot, and suddenly found that there was a look of surprise around him, which made his patting horse gong dizzy, Li Shimin also looked like he couldn't stand you, even Du Ruhui subconsciously walked away but took two steps, posing as I don't know him, he is not my son, hurriedly shut up, and said: "The son-in-law will definitely live up to the expectations of his father-in-law, do his best to serve Datang, and work for my Huaxia!" ”
Li Shimin also smiled when he saw his interest: "This is my good and virtuous son-in-law, I will immediately transfer all the oldest and most experienced experts in the Shaofu Prison and the Ordnance Prison to the Academy of Science and Technology under your command." Try to invent something similar to horseshoe, paper, movable type printing! ”
Du He was speechless, and in his heart he despised his future father-in-law to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he didn't want to think about how many people's brainchild this paper and this movable type printing technology, saying that invention is invention, and it was really my Edison.
No one knew that Li Shimin's move of catching ducks on the shelves had created a great master and inventor who inherited the past and forged ahead into the future...... However, at this moment, Du He was still a little reluctant, and secretly felt that his future father-in-law was too bad, and he tried to hollow out all the little ability he had.
Du He said: "I don't know which department this science and technology institute belongs to?" "Since he has taken this position, he can only work hard, this is his personal principle, but this science and technology institute has not been established for a long time, and I don't know whose jurisdiction it is under and who is his top boss.
"The ownership of this science and technology institute...... Let me imagine ......" Li Shimin also had a temporary idea, and before he thought about this, he muttered slightly: "The Academy of Science and Technology holds the cutting-edge technology of my Datang, it does not belong to any department, it is completely readable, and it is under the direct jurisdiction of me!" ”
Du He's eyes lit up, this is the best result, the boss has a Li Shimin and a Li Ji is enough, and the taste of being controlled by others is not pleasant, and he immediately said: "Father-in-law is wise!" ”
At this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The old minister still has important matters, report to Your Majesty." ”
When Li Shimin saw Fang Du and the others, his expression was serious, and he left the Shaofu Prison and returned to the palace-Ganlu Palace.
Du He was going to slip away, but he let Du Ruhui slap him back, so he could only touch the back of his head aggrievedly and follow behind.
Arriving at the Ganlu Palace, Du Ruhui told Li Shimin about the construction of libraries in various places.
Li Shimin was even more moved, if the paper is a sharp blade hidden in the dark against the gate valve family, then this library is a bright steel knife, as long as the library is completed, it will not be far from the Tang Dynasty to get rid of the dependence of the gate valve family, thinking in his heart, happy from the heart, ecstatic, this mouth open, suddenly moaned, both hands rubbed his cheeks vigorously.
"Your Majesty?" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui snorted with concern.
Du He also showed a stunned look, and said in his heart: "Convulsions? ”
Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling that he was okay, his face was a little red and a little embarrassed. As Du He thought, it was indeed a convulsion, but now Li Shimin is in a happy mood and I don't know how to describe it. First of all, Du He's earth-shattering paper-making skills, then his miraculous movable type printing, and finally his visit to this library, all kinds of happy events, made him smile from ear to ear, resulting in the previous moment, the cheek bones were displaced, and the pain was unbearable.
Such a shameful thing, Li Shimin was really embarrassed to say it, but he just glanced at the culprit Du He, "This library is also a bad trick that this stinky boy came up with, right?" ”
Du He made Li Shimin inexplicable, listening to the "stinky boy" he changed his name, he was even more aggrieved in his heart, he came up with a clever plan, and he couldn't get it well, I recruited whoever provoked me.
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "But it was an accident with a puppy!" However, the project was huge, and the minister was worried that the treasury would be insufficient. ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this, this matter will be openly discussed in the early dynasty, whether it is successful or not, it will be decided." He said so, and the three members of His Royal Highness could see that Li Shimin had already made up his mind to do this vote. It's just because it's a big deal, so you need to go through the motions.
Early the next morning, Li Shimin talked about the construction of libraries in various parts of the Tang Dynasty in the court, so that the people of the world could be educated.
Li Shimin is particularly powerful, he doesn't mention the poor scholar at all, nor does he mention any family of gate valves, but just starts with the name, saying that there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who know how to read and write, which is undignified. It should be like the holy master Confucius, who has no class of education, promotes the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and builds the library just so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can have books to read.
Such good things are good for Confucian scholars such as Zhining and Kong Yingda, the first one got up and raised his hands and feet in favor, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruyan had no objections, Wei Zheng also faintly understood Li Shimin's intentions, and also agreed loudly, and the eldest grandson Wuji also agreed.
All the bigwigs of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs unanimously agreed that the family of the gate lords with some status in the court was powerless to stop it, so they could only wipe their sweat vigorously, and after all, an official said: "Your Majesty, this library is indeed beneficial, but the project is too big, and my Tang treasury is worried!" ”
Faced with this, Li Shimin laughed even more: "It's okay, I am rich and strong in the Tang Dynasty, and I have millions of money left, so there is no need to worry about this matter." In addition, my son-in-law, Du He, has improved the printing technique, and there is no problem with printing. With such a huge sum of money collected by Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin is like a nouveau riche, full of confidence.
The impact of the construction of libraries and the invention of movable type printing became even more striking.
Especially among those poor scholars who want to study but have no money to study, it has caused a great shock, making Du He's status among the poor scholars leap and bound, and he has become a figure admired by everyone, almost treating him as a reborn parent.
