Chapter 68: Words of the Sages
In Zhao Yan's "memory", the Lang Huan Mansion Wenzhi Boyu Suiyuan, who fought with his tongue and martial arts, actually passed away a few years ago.
Therefore, the one who came forward to receive Zhao Yan and his party was the current new head of Langhuan Mansion-Chu Yuanliang.
Judging from his self-introduction, this Chu Yuanliang should be the son of Yu Suiyuan.
However, according to Zhao Yan's visual inspection, this Chu Yuanliang and the old uncle in his "memory" Yu Suiyuan, well...... Let's put it this way, if you use a photo of two people and play the game of "everyone is looking for X", Parkinson's patients can get a five-star rating.
There is no way, the looks of the two are so different, so different that Zhao Yan couldn't help but secretly guess whether there is a direct blood relationship between this Chu Yuanliang and his father Yu Suiyuan.
Fortunately, this black-bellied speculation finally became clear when Zhao Yan saw the old lady of Langhuan Mansion who came to hear the news.
Ah, it turns out that in this world, there are really people who are exactly the same as their mother's and completely different from their father!
So in other words, the new Wen Zhibo Chu Yuanliang is a bit of a boy and a girl.
The reason why it is necessary to use "a little" as a definite sentence is because if the old woman of Langhuan Mansion wears men's clothes...... Well, it's not right to slander other people's girls and men.
All in all, after some greetings, Zhao Yan finally had the opportunity to explain his intention, and for this intention, he gave away two books - the first volume of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and the first volume of "Journey to the West".
Zhao Yan's behavior thought that he had given enough face to Langhuan Mansion, and Chu Yuanliang was still on the road, so he made an exception on the spot and allowed Zhao Yan to enter the library of Langhuan Mansion to consult information at will.
Of course. Before this, Chu Yuanliang gave two books to Zhao Yan. The paper used for writing was discussed with Zhao Yan.
It can be seen that Chu Yuanliang's paper has already understood. So the questions that come up are to the point.
Chu Yuanliang's biggest concern is that the price of paper is too expensive, so it is not conducive to the promotion of knowledge and culture through paper.
Zhao Yan replied: "Uncle Chu, in order to develop a paper that can be used for writing, I invested almost 10,000 taels of gold before and after, and I finally developed a writing paper for the benefit of the common people. Uncle Chu, you say, it's okay for me to benefit the common people, but the common people have to make me suffer anyway. Why don't you let me get back at the very least?"
Zhao Yan, who had already cultivated "flickering" into a passive skill, opened his mouth to say such a big nonsense that he couldn't be blind anymore.
Wen Zhibo Chu Yuanliang is not the earth plane after all, those hypocrites who can shout in front of people that gentlemen do not say anything, but after turning around, they look worse than anyone else, so in the face of Zhao Yan's righteous nonsense, he can only be silent.
"Yan Shao, you're right, since the common people have enjoyed the convenience, they shouldn't let the sages suffer anymore. So...... There will be more and more sages. It's not like a martial artist for thousands of years!"
After being silent for a while, Chu Yuanliang finally sighed and said.
Hmm, sure enough, he writes history books and engages in ideological work, and as soon as his mind turns a corner, he directly puts things on the matter. It's been raised to the height of history.
Zhao Yan expressed his admiration.
But having said that, Zhao Yan really doesn't think what Chu Yuanliang said is wrong, because Chu Yuanliang's words can be summed up - science and technology are the primary productive forces. And the written word is the cornerstone of civilization.
"It will come, sooner or later Takeo will lose his authority. ”
Zhao Yan replied casually. Although he felt that in this high-martial world, this kind of civilian rule of the country would really appear. I'm afraid it will only happen in thousands of years.
Although the butt decides the head, but in this high-martial world, there is such a thing as a civil official completely overpowering a martial artist, and Zhao Yan feels that it will only appear after he dies and does not know the way of the devil for hundreds of years.
It is said that the gentleman's Ze was cut by the fifth generation, and after three generations, he could already use the ancestral tablet to chop firewood, so ...... Zhao Yan is now talking about it, and there is no pear.
"Does Yan Shao think so too?!"
That Chu Yuanliang showed an expression of surprise.
Obviously, Chu Yuanliang, who is a civil official, does not want to see the current social form of a martial arts country, and he immediately has a strong sense of confidant when he hears Zhao Yan's remarks.
"Yes, I do think so, as long as inventions such as papermaking and printing are gradually invented, knowledge becomes cheaper, and ordinary people can reach it...... Of course, things will not be so easy, after all, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous. ”
Because he thinks that the monstrous flood of this great change will definitely not be able to drown himself, Zhao Yan can still easily talk nonsense.
"The future is bright, but the road is tortuous?"
Chu Yuanliang repeated Zhao Yan's wise words in a low voice, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that this was simply a universal truth, so he originally had some reservations about Zhao Yan's great name as a genius that day, and finally completely believed that Zhao Yan was really a genius of heaven - a special genius who was different from all other geniuses.
Therefore, Chu Yuanliang stood up, and then saluted respectfully towards Zhao Yan: "Yan Shao is a great talent, Chu is ashamed of himself, listening to your words is like hearing Huang Zhong Zhen deaf and Lu Fa, people can't help but be convinced! A hundred thousand years later, Yan Shao will definitely be a well-known sage, Chu can borrow a seat to talk about the history books today, fortunately!
To be honest, Chu Yuanliang, who began to call himself an old man, suddenly humbly called Chu such words and deeds, which really startled Zhao Yan.
What are you kidding, Young Master Ben is a man who is destined to become the king of gentlemen, and he is a sage with hair!
And then again, occasionally stealing some poetry books or something, entertaining others and entertaining yourself, relying on these things that are not your own to be a "sage", it is really too shameless......
"Uncle Chu is too famous, I just said it casually, uncle, you just listen to it casually, don't care too much about other things. So, let's take a look at the information about the Bacchus Golden Bottle first, after all, those materials may be designed to be a little secret, so it is a priority to complete. ”
So Zhao Yan decisively began to be modest. And opened the topic transfer method.
"Don't worry, Yan Shao - Chu has one more thing to ask for. ”
Chu Yuanliang didn't plan to let Zhao Yan go. Instead, he grabbed Zhao Yan's sleeve and continued with his eyes shining.
"This ...... Uncle Chu, please speak. ”
Zhao Yan estimated the form, and finally came to the conclusion that it was better to listen to what Chu Yuanliang wanted to ask for.
"Chu wants to ask Yan Shao. What is printing?"
Chu Yuanliang asked with a wistful expression.
Huh?
Did you accidentally say that you missed your mouth again?
Zhao Yan could touch his conscience and say that he really didn't pay attention to when he leaked the printing technique.
But since it has been leaked.
Anyway, the threshold for printing technology is quite low, and all that is needed for engraving printing is a skilled carver and the original manuscript of the official pavilion calligraphy master.
As for movable type printing...... There is no need to think about this, clay movable type is simply a toy with no commercial value, and the difficulty of making metal movable type is quite high. It involves basic materials science.
Hmm, maybe the Qi master craftsman in Cangtian Valley can help?
Dozens of thoughts turned in Zhao Yan's heart in an instant, of course, of course, he was actually just a little silent for a moment, and he quickly made a final decision-
"Uncle Chu, in fact, this printing technology is a new invention derived from me based on papermaking, which can accelerate the speed of knowledge promotion, and in the short term, it should only be able to be applied to paper. My assumption. In this case, first we need to find a suitable hardwood plank, and then ......"
Zhao Yan took a moment to explain the principles of engraving printing. And the basic production process is spoken.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan was in his heart, to the inventors of engraving printing far away on the earth plane. I sincerely apologize.
Of course, there is also Grandpa Bi Sheng who is destined to apologize. Zhao Yan also apologized in advance, and then Cai Lun Cai's father-in-law. And then there'...... Forget it, there are too many good people, so Master Ben won't thank them one by one.
"Yan Shao Yan Shao, paper and printing two techniques, my generation of scholars, will always admire Yan Shao you!"
After listening carefully to Zhao Yan's description of printing, Chu Yuanliang's evaluation of Zhao Yan is obviously higher, as evidenced by the fact that from thousands of years to thousands of generations.
"Heh, this kind of thing, let's talk about it in eternity. ”
Zhao Yan didn't care about this high hat.
After all, Zhao Yan is also a person who has come over, as far as Zhao Yan knows, in the earth world, even if it is his homeland Celestial Empire, the hometown of the four great inventions, or the Greater China Circle, all the descendants who enjoy papermaking and printing, few people can still remember the inventors of the four great inventions, let alone worship the inventors of these two techniques that changed the course of Chinese civilization.
People will worship those princes and generals, they will worship those who recite poetry against them, and they will even worship the leaders of the vicious barbarians who interrupted the progress of civilization and slaughtered their ancestors and ancestors.
However, few people worship inventors, or scientists, and few people worship these real ...... The backbone of civilization.
Therefore, there is a good saying in later generations - the truth is within the range of the cannon.
Cannon, whose invention was it?
Backwardness may not necessarily be beaten, but how can it not be beaten when it is so backward that it has no backbone, but it occupies a large number of eye-catching treasures?
Therefore, compared with those unscrupulous politicians who come to power by fooling voters, willing to gamble and not admit defeat, Zhao Yan actually supports technical bureaucrats who are quick to say and do things with long-term planning.
Of course, of course, this is a little far, after all, this is a long time ago for Zhao Yan, and it is also far, far away that it will not matter anymore, so he just sighed a little distractedly, and then came back again.
Zhao Yan's sincere gesture of not caring about his name, and the appearance of obviously thinking about some esoteric question, made Chu Yuanliang, who had been secretly observing him, nod secretly.
This Yan Shao in front of him is really a genius who is worthy of his name!
Only a genius like Xiang Yanshao, who has this far-reaching vision far beyond ordinary people, can set off such a trend in this short period of time, right?
It's just that......
Hey, it's a pity, Yan Shao, who can make such a wonderful and moving legend, can casually say "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous", which is rich in philosophy and has easy-to-understand words, Yan Shao, who is full of philosophy and easy-to-understand words, can definitely make a masterpiece that can be passed down through the ages, but why is he unwilling to do it, but instead send out the call to be the strongest evil boy in history, which is not beneficial to the country or the people, and really put it into action?
"Yan Shao, Chu still has a reluctant request!" Chu Yuanliang continued, but he immediately changed his words: "No, it's two reluctant invitations." ”
To be honest, this kind of remark made Zhao Yan feel slightly displeased, he didn't like people who climbed along the pole.
"Uncle Chu, don't you think your reluctant invitation is a little too much?"
Since he doesn't like it, then Zhao Yan won't wronged himself.
It's nothing more than books and materials about the god of wine, what if you can't get satisfied in this Langhuan Mansion, it's a big deal to offer a reward or promise to teach the idea of meditation one-on-one, and some people jump out and run to find it.
"Erlang, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let Uncle Chu talk about it first. ”
Zhao Yan sang with a red face, so Jiang Xinyue, who came with him, could only sing with a white face. (To be continued......)
