Chapter 235: The Establishment of Yang's College (1)
Under the attention of all the Yang family members, as well as the gaze of Li Er's eldest grandson, Yang Heng's personal academy was officially established, the inauguration ceremony was very simple, and there was not even an office place, that is, there was not even a shed, but it was really established, and the stone of "Yang's Academy" written by Li Er was officially erected in the place where Yang Heng planned to build the academy.
To say that this stone, in order to carve these four big characters, there are also four words inscribed by Li Shimin below, but it wasted more than ten days of craftsman's time, in fact, ten days of time is not very long, but very short, even in Yang Heng's previous life, such a speed is also very fast. If you want to say fast, it is not fast, it should be considered fast. In Yang Heng's previous life, if he carved such a door number stone, using some modern equipment, it would take nearly a month to carve out four big characters and four small characters.
A few years ago, when Yang Heng was cleaning up the valley, he happened to find such a stone, originally the craftsmen wanted to break this stone and make it into a stone and transport it out to build the foundation, but Yang Heng felt that this stone might be able to be used as a door stone in the previous life, but the transportation of this stone was a little troublesome, because this door stone was too heavy, weighing nearly ten tons. It was impossible to use people to lift it, but the craftsmen Yang Heng was looking for had a way, they actually used the method of hoarding sand and even using water to transport this stone, and after half a year, the stone was transported out of the river. If you want to say that this is Yang Heng's idle business, do you have nothing to do. Naturally not. In fact, this can be regarded as an experiment, at least how to transport heavy stones, and even what heavy equipment can be made in the mountains in the future, you can use this method to transport things out of the mountain, you must know that Yang Heng has built a large blast furnace in the mountain, so maybe some special things will be turned over in the future.
After the stone was transported out of the mountain, it was naturally not over, and Yang Heng drew drawings for the craftsmen again. Let them process this stone, try to process it into a stone that looks like a natural formation, what method does this use, naturally it is still fire, water splashing, and chisel chisel, but this is how these dozen craftsmen have practiced the skill of quickly processing the stone.
When Yang Heng wanted to build a academy, he thought of this stone, and then asked Li Er to write these four big characters and four small characters.
To say what shape this house number stone is. It seems that Yang Heng is destined to build a academy, so he has this stone. When this stone is trimmed, it is somewhat similar to the shape of the open book of later generations, and even the shape of some scrolls, that is, the right side is flat, and the left side is a page turned over, or even rolled up, so that, according to the writing habits of this era, the four big characters are carved vertically on the right, and on the left page are the four small characters inscribed by Li Shimin, which just occupy the lower half, and the upper half is some messy patterns, which seems very natural. It seems to be a natural appearance, that is, these eight words are also somewhat similar to the appearance of natural formation, Yang Heng is very satisfied with it, so the emblem of the courtyard is also there, it is the appearance of this door number stone, made into a badge, and even somewhat similar to an unfolded flag, the place where it is rolled is the place where the flagpole, and the open side is the flag.
The emblem Yang Heng is made of three materials, one is the badge used by the professor of the college, which is made of brass and red copper, and the other is the badge of ordinary students, which is made of brass, and the words are engraved on it, and then dyed with red pigment, which are the two most commonly used badges, naturally I don't know this, Yang Heng also designed a VIP badge, which is made of gold and ruby, which is used by some special people, such as professors who will retire in the future, and Li Er, Li Er and Yang Heng want a position, But what position is suitable for Li Er, Yang Heng gave Li Er the position of honorary dean, and when Li Er got the badge, he was very interested.
"What is this, how does this word look familiar." "Yes, Your Majesty, these are the eight characters you inscribed, and we wrote it on this emblem." "Well, this is the emblem of the academy, and there are words behind it, honorary dean, Tang Emperor Li Shimin, good, good, good, good, good, you see, shouldn't we have a badge in Datang?" Li Er's thought was too jumpy, and he could even think that Datang also needed a badge.
"Your Majesty, I think it will be, but how to design this badge, otherwise, after the completion of the minister's academy, so that many people know this badge, maybe someone will be able to make a suitable badge of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the national flag, the national anthem, etc."
"Stop, stop, what are you talking about, the national flag, the national anthem, this national anthem can be regarded as the gang song you sang last time at the meeting to establish the beggar gang, but what is this national flag, is it the same as the general's big flag that was beaten during the battle, isn't there a military flag, a general flag, and I also have a flag?" "Your Majesty, this is different, in fact, your flag is almost the same as the national flag, but there is still a difference, and you can only play it when you go out, but the national flag is played in many places, you don't need to be there in person, it represents our Tang Dynasty, not on behalf of you, and the royal family." "Oh, I see, but how do you use this flag?"
"How to use it, every household can hang a small national flag to express patriotism, the army is camped, and the national flag can also be hung, indicating that this is our army of Datang, and even the land of Datang, there are many, many more, and the national flag must be higher than other flags when hanging...... Yang Heng patiently explained to Li Er. If you are impatient, you can't do it, what, do you dare to talk nonsense to the emperor, are you still impatient.
"Okay, I've decided, there must be a national flag, a national anthem, and a national emblem, and I'll leave it to you." "No, no, the significance of this is too great, you need to study and study in the court under Your Majesty, and you have to fight for the opinions of some famous Confucians." Yang Heng directly pushed this matter away, and Li Er thought about it for a while, and didn't force it much, the matter is a good thing, but if these things are studied by Yang Heng, it is not quite like words, isn't it, whose Datang is this?
"Xuewen, this is what you call the academy, well, this brand is good, but what about your academy, how is it a forest, there is a mountain behind it, what's going on with this river, what are you doing with such a big beach, how good is it to plant fields here, so that the people can collect more food?" As soon as Li Gang arrived, he questioned Yang Heng aggressively.
"Li Shangshu, you listen to my explanation." How to call it, the word to call Li Gang, Yang Heng feels that it will be a little unreasonable, but what is it better to call him, it is better to call him his previous official name.
"Alas, don't call me that, it's better to call me Professor Li, the old man will be your professor here in the future, the old man spoke a little rushed just now, but with your stone, the old man will also leave this old bone here." Why, being able to let Li Er write this name already shows Yang Heng's determination, and he has made such a big stone, just to destroy it, it is not a simple matter, this is Li Er's inscription, although it was not written by Li Er himself, but he must have written a pair of words, which must have been recorded in the royal family, to say that this is fake, Yang Heng does not have the courage to dare that Li Er to fake, and Li Gang also knows this word, it is definitely written by Li Er.
Yang Heng's heart was cold at first, and then it was hot, this old Li Gang finally agreed, although he didn't know that Li Gang was a person and learned literature, but he was able to be the teacher of the three princes, which itself already recognized his knowledge, otherwise the emperor would not let him be the prince's teacher.
"Professor Li, let's go to the village, I have already arranged for someone to build the professor's building here, so let's grieve you to live in a small home now." Yang Heng tried his best to lower his body and invited Li Gang into his home, this is a baby, and future professors will need his recommendation. (To be continued......)
