The issuance of Shendu Weekly has set off a thousand waves for a while, and the impact of such a new thing is not ordinary.

The issuance of the Shendu Weekly in the name of the imperial court is to promote the Shendu to the people of the world and to the Empress Dowager Wu. In addition, newspapers are issued, which publish the decrees of the imperial court, so that the general public can know what the political strategy of the imperial court is. If the local officials were derelict in their duties, then the people could go to the Luoyang Imperial City to beat the drum and stand on the stone to listen to the heavens.

At this time when the wind of whistleblowing is gradually rising, hundreds of officials feel that they are in danger, and officials in various states and counties also feel a chill on their backs. This Shendu Weekly is a sharp sword, and it is there clearly, and I don't know when it will be cut down.

The corrupt officials hated Wu Qing, and for a time the condemnation of science was also in full swing at the local level.

An important consequence of this is that the development of the primary and secondary schools of Qingxin Academy is very difficult. There are corrupt Confucians who directly go to the science of sparseness, which is pseudo-science, and it should be eliminated.

Science students are also not without counter-attackers, such as Xiao Song wrote an article "On Confucianism and Reason", which explained the reasoning of Confucianism and science, and focused on the pioneering nature of science, and this article was published in the second issue of Shendu Weekly by Wuqing.

Science and Confucianism gradually kicked off the Great War.

Empress Dowager Wu's dragon case is full of scolding battles between science and Confucianism, and she can't help but have a big headache. Nowadays, with the foundation of science, it is not the opponent of Confucianism at all, the base of Confucianism is too large, and most of the content of the imperial examination is Confucian classics, which makes it very difficult for Empress Dowager Wu.

"Wan'er. What do you say about this dispute between Confucianism and science? Empress Dowager Wu asked her right-hand man, Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er now seems to have the status of the "internal minister" of the Tang Dynasty, and she has already had a draft. He said: "Confucianism has not faded for thousands of years, and it must have its merits, and most people in the world have studied Confucian classics since childhood. Science has only been developed for ten years, but as a new science, it is a fortunate thing in this era, and the Queen Mother should be happy. The rise of science will inevitably be suppressed by all sides. If it is not protected, then the theory of science will become like a flash in the pan, and culture and education will flourish. I am afraid that the situation of a hundred flowers blooming will be difficult to see again. As for the Queen Mother, whether you want to use Confucianism or Confucianism, or science, isn't it all the Queen Mother's decision? ”

Shangguan Wan'er said this, and Empress Dowager Wu nodded. said, "Not bad. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have restrained the behavior of the people with Legalist thoughts, pursued the rule of inaction with Taoism, eliminated the anger of the world with the Buddha nature of Buddhism and compassion for the heavens, and used Confucianism as a good prescription for governing the country. If this science can surpass any doctrine, then why worry about not being the best way to govern the country for the foundation of my Datang Dynasty? ”

Empress Dowager Wu immediately thought about it and said with a smile: "Wan'er, the purpose." Private newspapers are permitted, but only academic discussions are allowed. Don't talk about current politics. ”

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then understood, agreed, drew up a note, and ordered someone to send it to Fengge.

When the imperial court issued a decree to all states, and the second issue of the Shendu weekly newspaper was sent to all states and counties, Datang set off a newspaper boom!

Prior to this, Wuqing opened the printing bureau to more than ten major cities in Datang, which actually led to the rise of the printing business, and it has to be said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

At this time, there was a Qinghe Weekly in Qinghe County, Xingzhou, which was run by the Qinghe Cui family, a famous family. The Longxi Weekly Newspaper of Linzhou Didao is run by the famous Longxi Li family, and it is also the ancestral land of the Li family of the royal family. Yangzhou monthly newspaper founded by Dong Fu, a native of Yangzhou. Liu Lingxian in Xuzhou founded Xuzhou Weekly and so on.

In short, the scolding war between Confucianism and science began. Of course, the newspapers published not only the content of Confucianism and Confucianism, but also some poems, so that far-sighted people began to publish their poems in newspapers as a medium, in order to gain the appreciation of the people of the world. Because the imperial court strictly ordered that the government should not be criticized, the newspapers were completely published with literary poems.

Wu Qing was naturally unwilling to be lonely, and based on Qingxin Academy, he founded Qingxin Daily, which published the excellent works of Qingxin Academy in the newspaper, and also compiled and wrote about the affairs of Luoyang Lifang and published it on it. And there are also newsboys who sell newspapers for a living.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the hundred officials and doctors in Luoyang never thought that the newspaper was so interesting, and they didn't know how much better than sending someone to find out the news.

In particular, the newspaper described a story that happened in the gentle building of the Li family and the son of the Song family competing for the top brand. suddenly made these uncles who were tired of listening to music and watching dances find fun.

Reading newspapers has become fashionable and will become a habit over time. Because of the expansion of demand, Qingxin Daily could not print so many copies at all, and could only brush 6,000 copies a day, so the price rose from one article to two, three, four, five and twenty articles, which was still in short supply.

Wu Qing looked at such sales and posted a reward, the printing speed can no longer keep up with the demand for daily circulation, and the printing speed must be improved.

The sad thing is that Wu Qing had seen photocopiers in his previous life, but they were all high-tech, and they could not be realized in this era. However, on this day, Wu Qing received good news, that is, someone has improved the method of making popsicles.

Now that Lixia is not far away, this improved method of making popsicles can be regarded as timely rain.

Wu Qing met this person in Qingxin Academy, this person was a middle-aged man, his face was quite dark, and he looked like he was doing rough work outside all year round, Wu Qing was a little disappointed, and he didn't know what kind of improvement methods he could bring.

"The villain Peng Yue has seen the dean."

Wu Qing said: "Well, where are you from and what do you do?" ”

Peng Yue hurriedly said: "The villain is a native of Daizhou, often mining nitrate to sell drug stores and ice shops, in the ice shop in Taiyuan City saw the popsicle, quite curious, so he did a buddy in the store, and later saw that the production of popsicles is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, so the villain thought hard day and night, and then there was a villain set of devices, and then the shopkeeper told me about the academy reward, and the newspaper published the reward, the villain came with this device. ”

Immediately, Peng Yo took out the device. Everyone couldn't help laughing, the device was very small, but it was the size of a palm. But it's exquisitely done.

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, but at a glance, he understood the truth, and said, "You can introduce your device." ”

So Peng Yue was very excited to introduce it.

The device is made of a large wooden barrel and a small iron bucket. Iron buckets conduct heat easily, so they are placed inside wooden barrels. The iron drum is suspended and fixed in the large wooden barrel to increase the heat transfer area. The outside of the wooden barrel is wrapped in white cloth, and the inside is filled with clean water, and layers of lattices are placed in the iron bucket, and the stirred soup is poured into the lattice, and then saltpeter is put into the clean water outside the iron barrel to cover it. Wait for the saltpeter to hydrolyze until the popsicle in the bucket is formed, remove the popsicle, and then pour out the saltpeter solution in the barrel. Perform drying. As a result, the quality of the popsicles has risen by more than one level, and the saltpeter can be recycled and reused in the right amount, which not only saves costs. It also improves the mass production and quality of popsicles.

After Peng Yue's introduction. Wu Qing smiled: "Yes, very good." Then he turned to the two vice presidents and a dozen PhDs and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone nodded, but did not speak, and Abdo, one of the writers of basic chemistry, thought for a moment and said, "This device can be used as a chemical device. ”

Wu Qing smiled: "It depends on whether Mr. Peng Yue can sell it to us." I think Mr. Peng Yue's invention is enough to reach the fifth level of the Spark Award and the Spark Invention and Innovation Award of 10,000 yuan. What do you think, Mr. Penyo? ”

Pengyo's mouth opened wide. Nodding his head in agreement.

Wuqing recruited the main Bo. asked Peng Yue to sign the transfer deed and confidentiality deed, and after the master explained to Peng Yue, Peng Yue signed the contract as if he didn't understand.

Wu Qing immediately allocated 10,000 high-quality Kaiyuan Tongbao to Peng Yue, and sent people to Daizhou with three large boxes of coins. The improvement of the popsicle making process naturally had to be published in the newspaper, and the Spark Award was also cashed out to a civilian for the first time, and the small people of Datang were completely crazy.

Wu Qing handed over this set of devices to the blacksmith shop and carpenter shop in his hands, but kept it secret for the time being, and it was not too late to promote it after the internal rectification was completed.

The power of role models is powerful, and it wasn't long before a twelve-year-old boy named Wen Qing in Mengzhou invented a hand-cranked shaved ice mixing device. Wu Qing was completely impressed, Datang did not lack inventors and creators, but they didn't find it, so when Wenqing's hand-cranked shaved ice stirring device was placed in Qingxin Academy, Wu Qing still rated five levels, after all, these are just practical inventions, there is a foundation, just innovation and improvement. The twelve-year-old boy was rewarded with 10,000 sparks, and it suddenly became a hot topic in Datang.

Qingxin Daily is out of stock every day, and it also began to serialize another masterpiece of Wuqing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", once a day. So that the sales of the newspaper were ordered before they were printed. As a result, the booking business also made the Korean Bureau of Literature and Literature.

Empress Dowager Wu was also deeply attracted by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", smiling every day and reading some parents' shortcomings, then reading novels, and punishing some corrupt officials by the way, and living a happy life.

During this time, Wu Chengsi finally entered the political hall again with the Chunguan Shangshu and the Fengge Luantai Sanpin, and Wu Sansi also became the Xia official squire.

Just when the imperial examination was about to be carried out, the Eastern Turk Ashina Gu Lukou Biandai Prefecture and Xinzhou were in an emergency!

The imperial court sent Zuo Yuchao Wei Zhonglang to make Chun Yu Chuping the head of the Yangqu Road march, and led 100,000 troops to attack him.

During this period, Shen Junliang, the chief doctor and the Fengge Luantai Pingzhang, was dismissed, and soon the Zhengzhi doctor and the Fengge Luantai Pingzhang Cui Jing were dismissed. At the same time, King Luling moved to Fangzhou and imprisoned. Wu Chengsi served as prime minister for less than a month and was deposed again. It can also be seen from this that Wu Chenghei's talent is really not enough to be the prime minister.

Empress Dowager Wu did not reach the point of nepotism, and the monitoring of the courtiers was also stricter, and then issued the "Vertical Arch Grid" and "Vertical Arch Style", which were more detailed than the previous "Zhenguan Grid" and "Yonghui Grid", and the Fengge Servant Wei Fang's quality was indispensable.

Because there are too many officials who moved to the left, these officials who moved to the left have to run to the prime minister to cry in front of Shi Qian's taste, Qian's taste is pushed by the order of the Queen Mother, and Liu Yizhi does not think so. Empress Dowager Wu attaches more importance to Liu Yizhi.

On this day, the border pass reported urgently, Zuo Yuwei Zhonglang was defeated by Chun Yu, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost.

Empress Dowager Wu was shocked and hurriedly ordered Wu Qing to enter the palace to discuss.

In the Zhenguan Palace, Wu Qing sat at the bottom, and Wu Tai had a sad face behind him, and said, "Taiping is about to be born." ”

Wu Qing replied: "Well, it's just a matter of the past two months. ”

Empress Dowager Wu seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "Daizhou and Xinzhou are in an emergency, the Turks have entered the Kou, and the border soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. ”

Wu Qing sighed in his heart, it seemed that Empress Dowager Wu meant to let herself resist the Turks, but she felt that her most beloved daughter was about to give birth, and she was not at ease, so she was a little conflicted in her heart.

"The Queen Mother, foreign clans have entered the Kou, and Weichen is willing to lead the troops there, but I am afraid that the house will have to be taken care of by the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Wu showed a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will ask Wan'er regularly, you can rest assured." ”

Wu Qing said: "In this way, I will set off on the same day, and the minister implores the Queen Mother to make Li Duozuo the General of the Right Yu Lin Wei, so that the Queen Mother can rest in the palace." ”

Empress Dowager Wu nodded and agreed, she was still relieved of the people recommended by Wu Qing. As Wu Qing said, with her, the Wu family will be rich. Immediately, Shangguan Wan'er was asked to make Li Duozuo the general of the right feather Lin Wei. (To be continued......)
