Chapter 276: A woman's lack of talent is virtue
"It's just nonsense, how can the words of a saint be so contemptuous?" Wei Zheng felt a blow in his heart.
How well-behaved and obedient her daughter used to be, but now after being able to make money in the Fan Family School, she has more and more opinions of her own.
If it weren't for inquiring about the Fan Family School, Wei Xiaoran was really teaching, not fooling the students, Wei Zheng wanted to take his daughter home and lock her up, so as not to continue to become bad.
Wei Zheng is also very troubled, if his daughter's wings become stiffer, it will be much more difficult to marry his daughter at that time.
Ordinary families want the head mother of the family to be in charge of the family's finances, but they don't want her to work outside and have her own opinions.
A woman who has her own opinions, as the head mother of a family, cannot handle the affairs of the family impartially, is already unqualified.
If he marries his daughter to an ordinary family, Wei Zheng's face will not look good.
If men and women can meet and talk about feelings, they may be able to break this rule, but the daughter can contact all day long is not the children of high-ranking officials.
Those who pursue love can ignore everything.
Wei Zheng didn't think that her daughter would not be able to handle a family's housework.
Judging from Wei Xiaoran's performance in the Fan family's manor, in fact, he saw it in his eyes, and he was very proud of his daughter.
Fang Xuanling's daughter, Fang Ruan, is also coaching in the Fan family manor, so Wei Zheng has been getting closer to Fang Xuanling recently, and they are talking about their daughter.
Fang Xuanling's daughter has also become more and more assertive recently, but they are not impolite rebuttals to their father, but argue with reason.
In fact, if a talented person or a person from the world argues with them, they are very acceptable and even praise each other.
However, when it was their daughter, they felt very sad and very entangled in their hearts.
A woman's lack of talent is virtue, which doesn't mean that her daughter is unvirtuous.
When Wei Zheng couldn't get the book, he began to think crankily.
As for his daughter's salary, he took it for granted in his heart to buy books for him, after all, his daughter eats at home and relies on the money he earns.
What's more, books need money to buy in his concept, books can only be borrowed, and when the borrowed book is finished, just send the original back.
Since Fan Jingjing's books are printed and do not need to be copied by hand, there is no such value in Wei Zheng's eyes, so it should be free.
Hearing that his daughter had to lose money, Wei Zheng expressed great dissatisfaction and asked her daughter not to lose money, but how dare her daughter?
Wei Zheng didn't expect at all that recently, his daughter often brought some delicious food to the house that she had never tasted before, and her daughter didn't eat at home at all, and most of the time she ate in the Fan Family School. Or the teachers of the Fan Family School learn to eat in the cafeteria.
The former is free or requires a little money to eat. But it's far from the real value.
The two of them were not standing on the same horizon, and under the influence of Fan Jingjing, Wei Xiaoran's level slowly rose, and he felt a little overlooking everything in the world.
It's just that neither Wei Xiaoran nor Wei Zheng felt it at this time, because Wei Xiaoran is Wei Zheng's daughter after all, and the daughter must be angry with her father, whether it is in Fan Jingjing's era of science and technology, or in Datang, this is an iron rule.
This iron rule can bring people closer and occupy a fixed position of power.
His father was able to give himself a little freedom to teach in the Fan family manor, and Wei Xiaoran already felt very lucky.
The father-daughter issue between Wei Zheng and Wei Xiaoran is not the point.
The point is that the Fan family manor actually discovered the printing technique, and the Fan family manor actually hid the printing technique privately.
In fact, printing is a very simple topic, and Wei Zheng knows the principle of printing as long as he sees his seal.
But if the text can be spread quickly, Wei Zheng's sensitive mind can imagine that it can be used in many places.
In fact, Fan Jingjing does not focus on printing books, he focuses on the issue of circulation.
There must be a lot of people who can read the words before the printed advertisements and news will be read.
Through advertising and journalism, money can be made and all kinds of new information can be disseminated to the general public, and people can develop their own careers and collect information from all over the world at a faster speed.
Books are dead, but news is alive, and books can edit and organize the information of news into a huge book.
But Fan Jingjing never thought that books would be more important than newspapers.
Books represent the thinking of people in the past, while journalism must rely on you to summarize new thinking patterns.
Once a new model is generated, in fact, the whole society has changed, and a smart person will evolve several patterns in his brain after seeing a model, so the world will become more and more complex in the future.
All Wei Zheng thought about now was that when printing appeared, books would become more accessible, there would be more readers, and it would not be so difficult for officials to find people.
He only thought of the first step that Fan Jingjing thought of, in this kind of place that tended to be thinking towards the future, Wei Zheng was like a child still crawling on the ground for Fan Jingjing.
But he is good at Datang's thinking, understands the relationship between people better than Fan Jingjing, and knows how to persuade a person to do things in his own way.
Be able to find out the most important things from the clues and push them.
Feeling the importance of printing, Wei Zheng ran to the Taiji Hall and asked to see Emperor Li Shimin.
"Aiqing ran too hard to the Taiji Palace, what did I do wrong to make you rush over?"
"Could it be that Wei Chen's expression is too serious for His Majesty to misunderstand?"
After being summoned by the emperor, Wei Zheng was not in a hurry, and he was able to play tricks on the emperor.
"It seems that Aiqing is in a good mood today, what happened? Have you gotten some news that is beneficial to Datang and want to come and congratulate me? ”
"Weichen is indeed here to congratulate Datang. Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live. ”
At this moment, the emperor couldn't understand that Wei Zheng had never been a sycophant, but a person named after him.
He disdains to pat on the back, and patting on the back is tantamount to being splashed with dirty water for people who take a straight name.
"Then let's talk about what Aiqing congratulates? What is Hexi? ”
Li Shimin was indeed curious about what Wei Zheng would propose?
"Please ask the emperor to read this book in Weichen's hand......"
After speaking, Wei Zheng handed the book in his hand to the eunuch next to him.
No matter how close the distance between the emperor and the courtiers is, the courtiers cannot directly hand over the things in their hands to the emperor.
Just like a jade pendant must be placed on the table when it is passed between buyers and sellers, so as to distinguish the attribution of responsibility.
There are eunuchs who specially deliver the items in the hands of officials to the emperor, according to different officials, when they get the items, they have different degrees of inspection methods, but they are very obscure, and will not let the emperor and officials see it.
The emperor saw that there was nothing wrong with it, but he could not give the officials a sense of defensiveness, which would make the officials distract from the emperor, but they had to ensure the emperor's safety.
In fact, being a eunuch is also very tiring, and you have to maneuver in the face of many people, but no one cares about their face.
Because in front of others, they are slaves, and in the eyes of the Tang people, slaves are not human beings at all.
Even the requirements of the Tang Dynasty for people will not take into account minions.
Slaves do not need to be soldiers, nor do they need to pay the ding tax, logically they live a special spirit, but all people do not treat them as human beings, except when their own masters need to use them, they will pay attention to what this person does.
But this person is not important, to be honest, it is generally not important in their minds, except for a few people who can get the emotional care of the master, others do not have this right.
Emperor Li Shimin took the book, opened it to see the book, and printed the Analects, because Fan Jingjing asked for a man-made character model, although it was more beautiful, but it was still worse than the calligrapher's words.
The books in Li Shimin's hands are all the works of some calligraphers, so the books that Li Shimin usually reads, even the chapters, are very high-end works.
Those who can become officials will not be too bad at reading and writing, even if they are nobles who ride horses and fight wars and have not learned too many words, their recitals will not be written by hand, but the staff they hire will help them write them.
The reason why staff hire is because they have some strengths, and one of the most important strengths is that they can write very beautiful fonts and make up good articles.
Emperor Li Shimin didn't realize that the book in his hand was printed, but he felt that the font was written squarely, and even made him feel a little strange.
These words seem to be the same word, as if they were cast in a mold.
His brows furrowed, thinking about what this meant, could it be that Wei Zheng was going to test him?
Wei Zheng wanted to test the emperor Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was still unable to shoot the case and pointed at Wei Zheng angrily.
But Li Shimin really didn't understand what the code words of the book were, so he had to look at Wei Zheng blankly and beg Wei Zheng to explain it in detail.
He thinks that although the paper value of this book is better than his books, the text is not up to specification at all.
"This book is printed with engraving, not handwritten, the words used in engraving printing, mainly for clarity, not beauty, if you can send someone to the edict to help carve the template, the word will naturally be able to become beautiful?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth wide, saying that he didn't know what Wei Zheng was talking about now, and thought about it seriously for a while before he reacted.
However, engraving takes a lot more time than handwriting calligraphy.
If you can only print one copy, it is not a big deal, but it is a waste of work.
With such an idea, he didn't want Wei Zheng to guess, so he directly said what he meant, he felt that it would be faster for both sides to clearly say their thoughts.
The emperor is a very busy profession, and there are endless things to deal with every day, but there is no time to play and guess the work.
What's more, there is no need to guess and guess between you and Wei Zheng, it is better to be direct.
Wei Zheng can tell the truth, but he likes to beat around the bush too much, can he still cut off Wei Zheng's head?
Sometimes what he does is not simply his hobby, but the situation at that time determines his way of doing things, although it seems inappropriate at the time, but Li Shimin is thinking about the future.
"You say that one engraving can print many books? How many copies can be printed? If you can use more than a hundred books at a time, it will be considered a good deal, but who will need more than a hundred books, unless it is needed by some family's private school.
Yes, this is very suitable for textbooks and teaching in the classroom, but it is also a kind of learning for students to copy books, and their own books will be cherished......"
Emperor Li Shimin did not blur the focus, he quickly thought of the same thing as Wei Zheng.
I have to say that although they are all smart people, they are too limited by the times, unlike their children, whose heads have leaped now.
After the children learned to write, they didn't read too much, and began to accept Fan Jingjing's scientific upbringing.
For their rigid heads, the new thinking brought by Fan Jingjing is not something they can accept.
For them, ordinary days, almost unchanged behavior patterns for thousands of years, are their rules.
They can find the parts of the ancient rules that they can apply and apply them, and they admire the literary creations of the ancient times, so that a book of Analects can be read for thousands of years, and many new commentaries can be given.
However, it is difficult for them to accept the new knowledge, and they often have to wait for the new knowledge to precipitate, and after a long time, someone will turn it out, because it is already an ancient book when it is turned out, so it can be accepted by people.
Fan Jingjing didn't dare to criticize this kind of ancient behavior in person, but in private she felt that Shanggu behavior should be a philosophical model, but a composition of behavior patterns between people, and she could find out newer good behaviors from ancient behaviors.
How can the behavior patterns of the ancient era become an example for future generations to learn from, and the lives of future generations, at least bit by bit, there is still progress.
Every time the creation of material civilization will bring about changes in people's lives, and if the moral rules and literary rules do not change, they will not be able to catch up and will be rejected.
In fact, people are disgusted with new things, and people who are happy with new things are able to find the benefits for themselves directly from new things.
People who receive benefits are born supporters of new things, and people who are forced to change by new things need a little more time to adapt.
These adaptations are painful in themselves, because in the process of new adaptation, it is equivalent to a new start in the ranking, and if a person falls from the front of the rank to the back, it will cause a low ebb in his life, and even begin to reject this new thing.
These people are often the ones who are the most powerful and the most fearful of new things.
Therefore, those with vested interests are often the ones who are most reluctant to do new things.
For the emperor, he may be a little less repulsive, because new things often arise because of the emperor's needs.
