Epilogue (7)
The Lishan academic school never recruits protΓ©gΓ©s, nor does it pull people into the gang.
Shangguan Yi has been presiding over the construction of Guanzhong since he took office as Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.
Pei Yan, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, wants to build water conservancy, and he needs to get the consent of Shangguan Yi, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.
In Jingzhao Mansion, Shangguan Yi said in a low voice: "The court only allows you to reconstruct one waterway in Guanzhong, and as for other places, you have to see the results before making a decision." β
Pei Yan saluted: "But the control of the Yellow River is not just a waterway, it can play a role. β
Shangguan Yi put down the piece in his hand, stroked his beard and said, "Then you choose the most critical position." β
Seeing that Pei Yan was still a little hesitant, Shangguan Yi patiently persuaded: "Today's court is no longer the original, and Datang will no longer have the power to minister." β
"The lower officials are puzzled."
"If you have the ability, the cabinet will definitely help you win it, but now the DPRK and China will depend on your ability."
Pei Yan bowed and said, "Xiaguan understands." β
After the others left, Shangguan Yi began to deal with the file in his hand again, since the inventory of Tian Mu, the Tian Mu in Guanzhong is still very rich.
After the counties were spread out, the number of acres of fields in Guanzhong swelled more than twice.
After the resumption of tax revenue between the DPRK and China, last year's tax on grain production income was also considerable.
This is also last year, when the value of copper coins was so depreciated, the prices of all kinds of goods rose, but the price of grain still fluctuated up and down at two cents.
Shangguan Yi is in a good mood today, at least after serving as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, many things happen to fall in the field he is good at.
A small official hurriedly came to report: "Shangguan Mansion Yin, General Pei ordered someone to bring a message, saying that he went to his mansion to drink today." β
Hearing this, Shangguan Yi held his head in distress, sometimes he couldn't drink Pei Xingjian's amount of alcohol, so he shook his head and said, "Let's just say that I'm not feeling well today." β
"Whoa."
Pei Yan wore the official uniform of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and studied hard since he was a child, and was familiar with the scriptures and various sage classics.
When I was a child, I read this knowledge in order to understand the foundation of morality and human beings.
This is also required for the imperial examination.
But since I came into contact with the academics of the Lishan Academy, I know that those knowledge are useful, and the knowledge in it can benefit the world and change the current Guanzhong.
Geography, physics, meteorology, mathematics and other disciplines in Lishan's academic knowledge are continuing to specialize.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Pei Yan walked all the way from Chang'an City to the academic institute in Lishan.
The Lishan Academy has a huge library with a large number of books on the bookcases.
Li Tai, the director of the technical institute, often sorts out these books here, and the students here come and go to the library on weekdays, but they don't know that this strict administrator who guards the library is the president of the technical institute.
Today, Pei Yan is here again.
Li Taizheng swept the ground and said with a smile: "You came so early." β
Pei Yan nodded and walked into the library pavilion.
This is a very studious child, and every time he steps on the opening of the library to read a book.
The rest of the students haven't woken up yet, or they're going to do something else.
It's always quiet, and Li Tai will clean it up.
The scrolls are all the painstaking efforts of Lishan, whether they were written by the brother-in-law and the imperial sister, or they were comprehended by Yuan Daochang himself.
The books here are precious.
The academic heritage of Lishan is very thin, and the only ones must be well preserved.
Which book is in what position, Li Tai knows it in his heart.
Or when there are many people, whoever holds what book and who reads what book, even if there are many people, hundreds of books are borrowed at the same time.
Li Tai was also able to take back all these books.
Now that the court was able to make its own paper, there was more and more paper in Guanzhong, and he received papermaking and movable type printing from his father, and the court began to print on a large scale.
I don't know how much manpower and resources my father and the current Li Chengqian have invested in this, in short, there are more and more papers, and they are getting cheaper and cheaper.
The books in the Lishan Library are all paper.
There are also bamboo slips that are transcribed, because bamboo slips can be preserved for a longer time.
Pei Yan looked at a bookcase and said in a low voice: "This big brother, are there only these books like geography?" β
Li Tai scratched his head and said: "That's all, many of them were perfected by the Ministry of Rites back then, if you want to look at the water and soil in Guanzhong, you also need to look at meteorology, there are also a lot of records of water and soil, which were compiled by the Hou of Lishan County when he served as Taifu Siqing." β
As he spoke, under Pei Yan's surprised gaze, Li Tai took down a scroll from the bookcase and explained: "It is a bit scattered, meteorology is a very jerky science, if you don't understand world geography, it is difficult to understand. β
As he spoke, Li Tai took out a scroll of drawings from the top floor of the bookcase, "This is a map made by Daoist Yuan Tiangang in the early years, and it was later changed by the Hou of Lishan County, but there are still many objections to this world map in the DPRK and China, if you want to use it for reference, it is still useful for understanding." β
The eldest brother who cares for the library seems to know all the books here.
Pei Yan asked, "Big brother, you have read so many books. β
Li Tai picked up the broom again and replied, "I'm just a scholar of the academy, and I just read books when I'm idle." β
Pei Yan saluted and said, "I want to come here for a long time, big brother." β
"It's been a long time...... Li Tai sighed: "It's been since the sixth year of Zhenguan, when I was still a child, watching Lishan come out step by step, watching these knowledge compiled little by little, I have a special experience." β
Pei Yan nodded, opened the picture in his hand, and saw a blue oil painting, the blue is the ocean, and the ocean is very vast.
There are a lot of annotations on this map, and Pei Yan saw the whole picture of the land for the first time.
To open the diagram completely, several tables need to be put together, so that they take up several seats, which is rude according to the rules of the library in Lishan.
Seeing Pei Yan's crampedness, Li Tai looked out the door, "It's still early, they all came here to read after noon, you can read first." β
"Thank you, big brother." Pei Yan sat down cross-legged, took out his booklet and looked at the annotations and meteorological records, and wrote notes.
Li Tai sat outside the library cabinet, poured himself a bowl of tea, took out a cake and put it by the stove, waiting for the cake to bake hot.
First, I took a sip of water and looked at the scenery in front of me comfortably.
The school building is very tall, with five floors, and the three school buildings can accommodate 2,000 students.
"This Datang is really getting better and better." Li Tai whispered, he could smell the fragrance of the cake, and the cake was baked.
And he drank it with tea and bread.
In fact, Dr. Sun said that drinking strong tea in the morning is not good for your health.
But Li Tai enjoyed a bowl of strong tea in the morning to refresh himself, and a piece of cake and a breakfast were enough to deal with.
I used to like to eat all kinds of food, but then I became addicted to cooking food, so I ate less.
Now Li Tai doesn't like those delicious foods, he likes this kind of naan, and Ding Yu has been a cook all his life.
What he is best at is still making cakes, and the naan he makes is still the most delicious.
After returning to the essence of life and no longer pursuing those vanity, Li Tai's life couldn't be simpler.
A figure walked into the library pavilion, and Li Tai smiled: "Why are you here?" β
Zhang Yang sat down on the side, "Come to you for a while." β
Li Tai broke half of the naan cake in his hand and handed it over, "Eat?" β
"Nope." Zhang Yang took the cake and ate it, and said in a low voice: "The family is ready, and then put 50,000 yuan of silver into this academy, and my daughter is making trouble at home." β
Li Tai smiled: "Qingqing has always been a very stubborn child, just like the imperial sister, and she must be unhappy that the money she earned is used to invest in the academy." β
Zhang Yang sat on the chair, enjoying the peace of the moment, "Jin Chunqiu killed the Japanese slaves?" β
Li Tai chewed the cake in his mouth and said, "It seems to be so." β
The years have still left some traces on Zhang Yang's body, his temperament is more restrained, like a big brother in the countryside, and he can't see that he is the most noble person in this Lishan.
Zhang Yang looked back at Pei Yan, who was reading hard in the library pavilion, and said with a smile: "Is this the child?" β
Li Tai nodded, "He is the most satisfied so far, if he trains well, he will definitely be a talent in the future." β
After Zhang Yang retired, two concubines were added to the family, the youngest son Qiu'er was the age when he could cry the most, Xu Hui just gave birth to a son, and her children also loved to cry.
The affairs of the family and Lishan are all busy with the daughter-in-law and Xiao Wu.
It is said that after marrying Xiao Wu as a concubine, Wu Shi Tong also began to retire at leisure.
Zhang Yang groped in his arms for a long time, took out an object, put it on the table, and said, "This is a sextant."
"Sextant? What is it for. β
Zhang Yang took the sextant and explained the usage to him.
"In the past, my daughter-in-law and I used to look at the stars, and we would measure the distance between the celestial bodies and the horizon."
Li Tai bowed his head and said, "Then you made a pendulum clock." β
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "The pendulum clock is just a process, we have been thinking about how to measure the distance between the celestial body and the horizon in different environments, and how to reduce the error after knowing the altitude angle." β
Li Tai said: "Errors are inevitable, everything in this world is made up of errors, at least you can't do things without errors, errors are inevitable in the cycle of all things, just like the way of heaven is more than lost, and the deficiency is made up...... Among them is there are some connections. β
"I don't know what kind of realm Lao Tzu and his old man were back then, maybe they have already understood the truth, but the world at that time has not been able to understand."
The sextant is a fan-shaped object, which is made up of a number of metal structures.
After Zhang Yang left, Li Tai put the sextant into a box, and then continued to sit in front of the library, closing his eyes and enjoying the sun.
Pei Yan arrived in the evening from the library pavilion.
When Li Tai had nothing to do with the dean, he would sit in the library and look at the books sent from Chang'an City, and if he felt that the argument was reasonable, he would put the books in the library.
The academic institute, which covers an area of 2,000 acres, has not yet been completely completed, and various research institutes will be opened in the future.
All of this is necessary for the construction of the Northwest and the Central Plains.
Seeing that someone came out, Li Tai smiled and asked, "Finished reading?" β
Pei Yan said: "The library should also be closed, and the students will come out." β
Li Tai stood up with the scroll in his hand and said, "Wait for Lishan to finish the wires and light bulbs, and you can read books at night in the future." β
Pei Yan smiled: "That's really good. β
With that, Li Tai turned around and walked into the library and began to clean up.
Pei Yan watched for a long time, since he first came to the Academy, this eldest brother has been taking care of this place, and he treats the books here as treasures.
This is a very knowledgeable big brother, if there is anything he doesn't understand, as long as he asks him, he can answer a sentence or two.
It was about to fall into the night, and the wind was getting colder and colder, Pei Yan hurriedly walked out of the academic academy.
In June of this year, it was summer in Guanzhong, and the scorching sun seemed to kill everything in this world.
The construction of returning farmland to forests in Guanzhong continued, and the students of Chongdefang proposed that the Turks should be allowed to control grazing, that there should be no large-scale grazing in Guanzhong, and that the number of grazing should be controlled in the Hexi Corridor.
Overgrazing can lead to the destruction of grasslands, which can turn more grasslands into wasteland.
The number of students who believe in the Lishan academic school is increasing day by day.
Pei Xingjian stood on a platform and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Lishan County once said that the truth is clearer the more you argue. β
Xue Rengui hesitated: "If this proposal is approved by the DPRK and China, the Turks and Uighurs may be in rebellion." β
"There is not necessarily chaos, and there is no need to veto all of them, the DPRK and China only need to decide on the big season and the small season of grazing, and the season of grazing can be grazing, and the herdsmen can be restricted when they dare not graze on a large scale, and they can even work out big and small years to change according to the situation to ensure that the pastures are not deserted."
Hearing the words of others, Pei Xingjian looked sideways, it was a young man in his early twenties, and asked, "Dare to ask how to call it in person." β
The other party saluted and said: "In Xia Guo Zhengyi, he is now serving in Li Shaoqing's Honglu Temple." β
Pei Xingjian looked at Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui nodded, indicating that he was too worried.
Half a month later, as Guo Zhengyi said, the DPRK set a time limit for grazing in the Hexi Corridor in Guanzhong, and even for the Turks and Uighurs, and ordered all parts of Guanzhong and the four counties in the Hexi Corridor to restrict grazing at specific times.
Once again, the academic faction of Lishan was victorious, and their proposal was adopted by the court.
This new school seems to have endless vitality, constantly absorbing young people, and even many old people who adhere to Huang Laozhi's learning have begun to specialize in Lishan's academics.
A train departed from Lishan and was heading to Luoyang.
The train was loaded with goods from Guanzhong, and it was an unprecedented feat to connect Luoyang with Chang'an City.
The emperor never said anything about moving the capital again, and no courtiers came to advise him to move the capital to Luoyang.
Because there is no need, when Guanzhong and Luoyang are connected and materials are circulated, Guanzhong is no longer a zone isolated by Tongguan and Kunshan.
As the construction of the Great Northwest is about to begin, more and more people are planting trees, and Lishan has formulated an unwritten rule that every student who graduates from the academy must go to the Hexi Corridor to plant ten trees, and every year to see if their trees are growing.
If the tree that was planted dies, it must be replanted.
The students had a tacit understanding, and at the end of the summer, three to five hundred young people came out, they had just graduated this year, and they had to go to the northwest before joining Guanzhong production. (End of chapter)
