The knives and guns are put into storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan. When the war is over, put away all these things that cost money, and start to enjoy the peaceful life, but soon the swords and guns will rust, the soldiers will forget about the war, and when it is time to start a war, they will no longer be able to form combat effectiveness.

The same is true for technology, if it is not maintained at a loss, when it is needed, the equipment will be eliminated, the workers will be old, and it will be impossible to continue production and development.

Although movable type printing was invented, it was all at a loss, and every time it was produced, it lost money. However, losing money must also continue, because if it is not sustained, more than ten years later, movable type printing will be forgotten again.

Yun Yao actually wants to promote movable type printing, but now the traditional engraving printing is very mature, and everyone is not optimistic about this printing technology, which has been losing money.

So there is no way, Yun Yao can only print something at his own expense, but if the newspaper appears, the advantages of movable type printing will be shown.

In today's era, if you want to spread words quickly, pen copying is the fastest way, and everyone who reads books is a human photocopier. Engraving is to print some classic books in batches, or mass production goods.

In short, if you lose money, you will lose money, Yun Yao thought that after the newspaper could make money, she must send a special reporter to follow Tang Seng to learn the scriptures, and when they come back, they will come to a special report to describe all kinds of strange things that Tang Seng encountered on the way to learn the scriptures.

Just when Yun Yao was thinking about making a big move, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun found her, although they talked about it during the day, they only agreed to raise funds and did not talk about the details. This time, Yun Yao still can't be asked to come forward, either the crown prince can come forward, or the emperor himself will come forward. In short, Yun Yao is still too young.

When Empress Changsun saw the sketch on Yun Yao's desk, she knew that this was the content that Yun Yao had arranged for the palace maid to learn before, and it was a very strange painting, so she watched: "It's really realistic." She felt that these paintings were already very realistic, and continued: "I remember that some Buddha statues were influenced by the carvings of the Western Regions during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and were also very realistic, which should be the way of painting in the Western Regions." ”

"Yes, it's really the Western Regions." Yun Yao said.

Li Shimin also took a few and flipped through them, and also found them very interesting: "The painting techniques of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty are very different, emphasizing the form but not the spirit, and the appearance is often realistic, but it is also difficult to grasp the wonder of things." ”

Yun Yao thought to herself that it was because the philosophies of the two places were different, and philosophy influenced aesthetics and life, as well as the path of development.

The reason why philosophy is so important is because it is an expression of a collective ideology. The philosophical foundation of the Central Plains people is change, while the philosophical foundation of the Western Regions is transcendence.

The changes make the aesthetic of the Central Plains not reshaped. Because all things change from the beginning of their birth, the shape that the painter grasps cannot show the essence of a thing, and only the artistic conception can express the essence of all things.

Transcendence makes the Western aesthetic heavy rather than meaningful. Because they think that one thing must be contained in another, larger thing, and that this greater being is transcendence. The soul, the spirit, and everything are like endless nesting dolls, all of which have an infinite and vast transcendent space, and what people can show is only a corner of the world, and can never be a whole. Since it is impossible for a painter to show the whole, he can only grasp the part and depict it perfectly. It is impossible for any painter to paint everything, because there is a higher transcendence above everything.

That's the difference, and thus the difference in aesthetics.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't come to talk about art, but told Yun Yao that he approved the shipbuilding, but there must be a detailed plan, and Yun Yao can't come forward, he has to find an agent, and the prince won't come forward. The prince has to study hard and pay less money. Li Shimin has already arranged an agent, Yuan Shouye.

Yun Yao heard that this person had anything to do with Yuan Shoucheng? It doesn't happen to be Yuan Tiangang's uncle.

This Yuan Shoucheng is the one who made the Dragon King of Jinghe angry and privately changed the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor, a very powerful fortune teller, and also Yuan Tiangang's uncle.

Because the Dragon King of Jinghe wanted to cut off his head, he interceded with Li Shimin, and Li Shimin promised to forgive, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to cut off the Dragon King of Jinghe. This is why the Dragon King took Li Shimin to visit the underworld, which led to Li Shimin's idea of learning from the scriptures.

This Yuan family is quite remarkable, they are all good at astronomy and geography, meteorological divination, the Yuan family has been an official of the Qin Tianjian since the Sui Dynasty, responsible for helping the royal family sort out astronomy, divination of fortunes and misfortunes. And they also have a relationship with the Ghost Valley, which can be regarded as a branch of the Ghost Valley. It is a large force in the second mortal world, they know the existence of immortals, and they are inspired to protect mortals from the interference of immortals and monsters.

The second mortal world originally did not have a dragon king, but in the six hundred years that Yun Yao was imprisoned, the Western Sect and the Heavenly Court cooperated and arranged one.

It is unknown whether Li Shimin arranged this agent or not Yuan Shoucheng's brother, but it doesn't matter, anyway, Li Shimin said that it is enough for him to be smart and capable, and this person will be responsible for implementing Yun Yao's entire plan and recording Yun Yao's every expense. With him, Yun Yao doesn't have to come forward.

"Okay." Yun Yao has no opinion, and it is no problem for her to write a plan.

So a huge plan began in Chang'an, and because there was a precedent and officials taking the lead, the speed of fundraising was very fast. In the first newspaper of the same year, it published information on shipbuilding, and published the knowledge of going to sea and sailing, as well as many supply points, including Annam, overseas Liman, Champong, Zhenwax, and Pugan......

After that, the newspaper became a thing that everyone took for granted, and although not many people read it, it continued to run, and the newspaper became more and more complete. Later, Li Shimin occasionally published some articles, using the newspaper as a political tool, which is not bad, anyway, as long as Li Shimin gives money, Yunyao will print everything for him. The father and daughter settle the accounts, and they get what they pay for.

In this way, time flies, Tang Seng is already eighteen years old, and this year he is ready to officially become a monk in Jinshan Temple. However, the abbot said that he still had a precursor to it, and that he could only become a monk after waiting for the precursor.

So he told Tang Seng's life experience, saying that when he drifted to Jinshan Temple, his mother's blood book was hidden in the swaddling clothes, as well as the whole thing.

"Xuanzang, your father was originally the champion of the Sui Dynasty, but on the way to his appointment, he was killed by a traitor and died. You are a widow, and your mother doesn't want you to recognize the thief as your father, so she uses the blood book as evidence to let you flow along the river, and then you came to this Jinshan Temple. If you want to become a monk, you have to go to the front. The abbot monk said.

"Abbot, since I have the heart to become a monk, I must not be attached to the Fa, not greedy for things, and do not need to dwell on the past." Tang Seng Xuanzang said that he was a monk, so what did his parents do.

The abbot shook his head and said, "Fate is the truth, not attached to the Dharma, nor attached to emptiness." ”

Tang Seng was stunned, is he obsessed with emptiness? So what should I do?

"There was a high monk in the previous dynasty who did not shed a single tear when his teacher passed away. And when a traveler who stayed in a temple fell ill and died, he wept silently, and God was sad. The abbot began to tell the story, hoping to wake up the clever disciple.

Xuanzang said that this is a monk? The teacher doesn't cry when he dies, which can be understood as not being attached to life and death, but why should a strange traveler cry when he dies? Does the traveler owe him money?

Why does the same person have two manifestations and why? Is it attachment or attachment?

The abbot didn't say anything, just waiting for Tang Seng to figure it out for himself, and only by relying on his own strength could he find the other side.

Suddenly, Xuanzang had a flash of inspiration, thought of the reason, and said: "The teacher passed away and didn't cry, not because the monk was not sad, but because he knew that the teacher was a person who had attained the Tao, so he could go to the other side." The traveler dies and grieves because the monk knows that the traveler is just an ordinary person, who has no wisdom and is reincarnated after death and is not liberated, so he will shed tears. "Master Abbot, I understand, my father and my mother are both people in the red dust, and we monks should save ourselves and others."

The abbot nodded, indicating that Xuanzang really did not disappoint him.
