Wang Yu's devotion to Zhao Dezhao is an extremely confidential matter, and he has done a very safe job of secrecy, and he was shocked when he heard this, and then his heart became warm again, Zhao Pu knew that this matter was revealed to himself, obviously there was still something to be done in this matter, and even better results.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Zhao Pu said leisurely: "At the beginning, Taizu was worried that there were villains to lure Dezhao to do bad things, so he secretly made some arrangements, and these old people later took refuge in me. When you go to Dezhao Mansion, you avoid the eyes and ears of the officials, but you can't avoid these people who are the closest people in Dezhao. Wang Yu suddenly realized and sighed: "How can there be family affection in the heavenly family." ”

Zhao Pu shook his head, from the Wuqiao mutiny to the sound of the axe and the shadow of the candle, he knew too much, and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what you are plotting, I can guess some. The imperial court stationed the forbidden army in the northwest, and Cao Han took charge, and the king of Xiangbi martial arts was also greatly excited. ”

Wang Yu stared at him, turned the teacup, and did not speak, Zhao Pu continued: "Most of the veterans who support Dezhao in Youzhou City are Shi Shouxin, but Pan Mei and Cao Han are neutral. He paused, took a sip of tea, and continued, "The secret power can be known, Cao Han is the favorite general of Sejong, Taizu originally intended to abandon it, I can't bear to lose a pillar of the country, I don't avoid suspicion, and I recommend it to Taizu many times." ”

Zhao Pu is the prime minister of the two dynasties, since he said so, Wang Yu has no doubt that Zhao Pu recommended talents to Zhao Kuangyin, and the official family did not use it, Zhao Pu will not change a word, and the next day will be repeated, and he will be stubborn until the official family agrees. It can be said that as long as it is not Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe and henchmen in front of him, there are very few people in the Manchu Dynasty who have not received Zhao Pu's favor, which is also the reason why Zhao Jiong is dissatisfied with him, but he also has to use him to stabilize the dynasty after killing his brother and seizing the throne.

"People's hearts are cold, for the sake of authority, fathers and sons and brothers can also kill each other, although Cao Han may not be thinking of favors, but I will be the guarantee, for the sake of the Central Plains and the national fortune, the secret power and discuss with him, it is also feasible. After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he patted the wall of the carriage, the carriage slowly stopped, and when he saw him gently pick up the Analects on the table, Wang Yu knew the opportunity to leave. The car happened to stop outside the small gate on the east side of Cao Han's mansion, and a small square hole was opened next to the door, and the servants inside saw someone getting down from the carriage, and immediately opened the door, and without asking too much, they opened the door and invited Wang Yu to enter. After a long time, the servant sent Wang Yu out again, and hurriedly closed the side door.

In the study room in the backyard of Shazhou Academy, Liang Zuoqiu, the mountain chief, picked up the article he had just written in front of him and read it, frowned, picked up the pen and revised a few words, while snorting hot air into the palm of his hand, he turned his wrist and handed the article to Deng Wei, who was standing next to him, and said: "Send it to typesetting, it will be discharged tonight, and it will be printed tomorrow." Deng Wei took the manuscript, bowed down and replied yes, when he was about to go out, Liang Zuoqiu stopped him and said: "I personally sent it, in the cold winter, your brothers and sisters are very hard, go and order the kitchen to boil some hot soup and send it to the edition room." After saying that, he got up, stretched his limbs, he picked up his pen and fought for a day, the strong body that practiced arching horses all year round was also a little sore, pushed open the door, a cold wind blew in his face, and the world was already covered in silver outside, the first snow of early winter had already fallen, and the eaves of the house were hanging low with ice ridges. Although the imperial court stationed troops in the border states of Shaanxi, there has been no crusade. For the households of Longyou, Hexi, this is a rich and comfortable winter, but for Confucian scribes such as Liang Zuoqiu, as well as Yang Deliang and Jicong monks, the cultural war is still in full swing.

In the academy room, Zhao Ping, Qian Ren, Sun Ding, and Cai Rui each sat in the middle of two large rotating word plates, each of which was divided into ten grids, each containing a hundred vertical pipes, which were filled with a hundred different hollow movable characters. This movable type is a pottery type fired by the Baggage Division, with a hole underneath and an empty middle, and the hole at the bottom is sealed with clay after it is fired. Because some characters need to be prepared in a plurality, they are placed in the vertical pipe of the word plate, the pipe is filled with water, and after the typesetter takes out a word, the same hollow pottery movable type below will automatically float up.

The word plate is connected with the foot wheel below by the shaft, and the typesetter only needs to rotate the foot wheel with his feet, and the word plate above will rotate at the same time, and it is very convenient to take the word. In front of the typesetter, there is a bookshelf, on the left is a piece of white paper, which is Liang Zuoqiu's manuscript, and on the right is the movable type plate facing the typesetter, and the movable type is put into the grid of the movable type, and after all the movable type is placed, the movable type layout is smoothed, and the horizontal and vertical clamps are tightened, and it can be handed over to the bookseller for printing.

In front of the typesetter, there is a special word plate horizontally, there are only 300 movable characters in it, which is the 300 words that Wu Yingying ordered the Xia army and people to learn, in the literary war, whether it is a Confucian scholar or the elders of various sects, in order to spread their thoughts as much as possible, especially to enter the military academy and official school, they all try to use only these 300 words to write articles, and will not use these 300 words unless they have to, so they will put the 300 most commonly used words separately in a horizontal 30 vertical 10 movable type plate, placed in front of the typesetter The easiest place to take the word。

These four people have a lot of typography, and they can know which word is placed in which position almost with their eyes closed. After Liang Zuoqiu finished writing the splendid article, he tried to change the language that the village man and pawn could understand, and only took 300 words to express his meaning, which greatly reduced the man-hours and difficulty of typesetting for four people.

"The first time I read Bai Lotian for the sake of seeking Xiaochang plain, asked the poem to the old woman, I still don't believe it, and now I see the teacher's article, the words are very simple, but the Confucian doctrine is analyzed into three points, the righteousness is strict, it is really a very deep kung fu, and we can't reach it. While choosing words, Qian Ren sighed. "The Master is running away from the dust, and we are dumbfounded, and today we know it. Zhao Ping, Sun Ding, and Cai Rui all nodded yes, and Liang Zuoqiu, Cai Yu and others cross-referenced the strange books of the Western Regions with Chinese Sinology, and their interpretation of Confucianism was more profound.

Although there is no shortage of knowledgeable people in the Central Plains, they are not like Liang Zuoqiu, who has to rack his brains every day to argue with those outsiders who are trying to "change Xia with raze", and desperately find support from the chapters and sentences of Confucius and Mencius, nor is it like Liang Zuoqiu who can use the knowledge comprehended in the strange books of the Western Regions without a trace.

Now Mr. Zuoqiu of Shazhou Academy occasionally circulates one or two articles, all of which are subtle and meaningful, and they are also quite famous in the Luoyang area of Guanzhong, and people at the time thought that a generation of Confucianism, and even the literary friends with the pseudonym Cai Zhongyin, who repeatedly mentioned in his articles and contradicted each other, also became famous. If it weren't for the imperial court declaring the Anxi Army a traitor and blocking the border, I'm afraid that there would already be students from the Central Plains studying in Shazhou.

"Two senior brothers, will they accept or not accept the title of master craftsman awarded by the Heavy Division?" Cai Rui said curiously, several of them were allowed by Liang Zuoqiu to watch the strange books of the Western Regions, while Zhao Ping and Qian Ren had a deep understanding of the two disciplines of "Theory of Elements" and "Laws of Mechanics", and even had some creative ideas on the basis of the original books. Wu Yingying was very happy when he heard the news, and the baggage department also wanted to hire the two as master craftsmen, so that they could teach these two skills to the craftsmen. The status and treatment of this great master in the Xia Kingdom can be compared with that of the school captain, and the shade of the master himself can reach fifty. But Zhao Ping and Qian Rennai are Confucian scholars, although they disagree with the ancient precept that everything is inferior and only high in reading, but they still have a little rejection in their hearts for being classified as craftsmen. On the one hand, it is a very respected status, and on the other hand, it is the name of Confucianism, so that the two of them have been troubled for a long time.
