When Yang Shu received the will from Chang'an, he didn't say a word, simply cleaned up, and took the family to set foot on the road to Chang'an.

Although Yang Shu is said to be an official reinstatement, he is only serving as a servant in Menxia Province, this official position is his official position in the Yong Dynasty back then, the difference is that there is no servant in the Yong Dynasty, and the servant is the head official of Menxia Province, following the emperor and giving advice to the emperor.

In the Menxia Province of the Tang State, the servant was set up as the first official, and the servant was listed as the chief executive with the Shangshu Order and the Zhongshu Order, and lived in the political affairs hall. The left and right door servants, the left and right middle book waiters, and the six books, a total of ten people, are engaged in the political affairs hall.

The political hall is no longer set up in Shangshu Province, but the Xinuan Pavilion of the Liangyi Palace, which has in fact become Wang Rong's cabinet. There are also a number of ministers in the government hall, and these people are scribes, the lowest status, but also the most important. Because they had access to the secrets of the Tang State, everyone was placed in the political hall after being investigated by the Arrest Department and confirmed that there was no threat.

Yang Shu opened the wood-carved window of the study room of the political affairs hall, the wind became louder, raindrops flew outside the piles of cases, and a pear blossom was waiting to be released in the wind and rain. An introducer in the back was busy putting his things out, and several officials were standing in the back.

He turned around and sighed, "The old man was humiliated by the little guard surnamed Wang."

The officials said, "It's just a guard, how can you be a gentleman's heart? Yang Zhoumu doesn't need to be like him."

Yang Shu said gloomily, "The old man owes the life of the first emperor."

Several people were silent, when Wang Rong was called the emperor, he had already seized the throne by force, and they did not die for the first emperor, but secretly survived, and now they are extremely reluctant to mention the old things.

After hearing this, Yang Shu said, "Today's great achievements in the world are inviolable. The first emperor had the grace of knowing the old man, and the old man lived in the temple, and he only hoped that he could be kind to his predecessors today."

The official next to him said, "There are not a few people in the court and in the localities who have been favored by the first emperor. All the princes have this heart."

The emperor's tolerance encouraged Li Si and gave him hope. The book is not dead in the first battle, the name must have been remembered by the emperor, and the future of the official career is not only before.

In the summer of the third year of Yuanwu in the Tang Dynasty, Li Si rushed back to Chang'an from Yushi County and wanted to present the chart.

Wang Rong personally summoned Li Si in the Liangyi Palace.

Li Si was taken by Xiaojiewei to the place where Wang Rong rested after his office, and saw that Wang Rong was the only one, which was summoned alone, and his heart was already very excited.

Wang Rong didn't do anything, there were only chessboards and chess pieces on the cases in front of him, and he didn't bring in the chapters. He asked Li Si to take a look at the picture. Li Si hurriedly took out a large pile of files from the cloth bag he brought in.

"Sit, sit down for a while." Wang Rong pointed to the soft couch opposite and said casually.

Wang Rong looked at the illustrated things on the paper, and there was a lot of content.

After a long time, Li Si said, "The shipyard of Liaodong County has been trying to build this kind of sea ship, and the structure of the Yakura ship is completely different from that of the Central Plains ship. Its shape is different from the wide and flat of our ships, but the hull is long and narrow, and the bottom is pointed; The masts and sails are also very different. The sails of the Ajura were syloroners, and the full sails were like triangles, like the wings of a bird. According to the officials of the shipyard in Liaodong County, this kind of ship is more suitable for sea navigation, and the emphasis is on sails."

Wang Rong took a general look at it, and casually expressed his temporary feelings and some opinions: "I have many rivers, and boats are often used in inland rivers, so the flat bottom is not easy to run aground, and the wide body reduces the draft. In addition, the width of the inland river is different, and the wind direction is uncertain, so the ships cannot flexibly use the wind power, so the crosssail is the mainstay, supplemented by oars, water wheels, and slender men."

Li Si said, "The Holy One has a wide range of knowledge. The officials of the shipyard in Liaodong County agreed very well with the words of the saints, and the use of Ajura ships for rivers is unfavorable, but it is beneficial to the sea. Its sails are nimble and adaptable to all wind directions, and it is said that it is fast to sail in a zigzag against the wind."

Walking in a zigzag shape against the wind, the Tang Army's sailors can also do it, but it is indeed a bit bulky, and it is only useful in places where the water surface is wide in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Wang Rong looked at the dossier and pondered at the same time. He felt a little that whether something is advanced or not depends on whether it is in line with the situation of the times, and it is not good to be too far ahead.

For example, the power of this ship, there is a kind of wheel in the Central Plains, which uses waterwheel wheels to drive the boat, and the development direction seems to be very advanced, because Wang Rong knows that there will be wheels in the future

Boat. However, in the era of manpower and natural wind power, the direction of the development of ships seems to be deviated, and the direction of the Ajura ship, which attaches importance to the development of sails, may be right.

Li Si said, "The ship in the port of the Clan has made some changes in the structure of the Ajura ship, and we have used our shipbuilding skills to change the structure of the Ajura ship. Our ships raise and lower the sails without the need for sailors to climb the mast, so the construction is fast and trouble-free, so we still use the mast sail structure of our ship, and the shape is changed.

There was also a cabin structure, and the Ajura ship was connected to the front and back, and I didn't see any benefit. Once the hull is damaged and flooded, it can easily sink. And according to my construction of the front and rear compartments, one of the leaks, the cabin will be closed in time, it will not sink easily, and it will be easy to repair."

Wang Rong patted the dossier and said, "I will watch it for a while, and then send it to Lin Musen, so that he can also see it."

Wang Rong was born as a martial artist, and he first thought about how to use any technology in the military, and as soon as he got this ship, he thought about equipping the sailor without exception.

At this time, he couldn't help but glance at Li Si's bulging cloth bag again. Because Li Si came to face the saint, it was impossible to bring something irrelevant in. He asked, "What else do you have in your bag?"

Li Si hurriedly took out another stack of papers: "Wechen seized Ajura's sea ship, and when he was collecting things, he got two books. At first, I thought it was a record of Ajura's voyage, so I asked the Sifangkan to translate some of it, but I found that it was a book written by Ajura, and I don't know if it is useful."

Wang Rong looked through it and saw that the author's name was "Aristotle", he was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Aristotle?

He looked at the chapter again, and found that it was some of the original Greek philosophical expositions, but he read them in a confused way, and the sentences were very strangely formulated. It must be a matter of translation into Chinese, and those Sifangguan interpreters may not be very proficient in the Yajura script.

"This is not a book written by Ajura." Wang Rong concluded.

Ajura and Greece were separated by 108,000 miles, and neither was on the same continent.

Li Si bowed and said, "Wechen is stupid, and I found it on Acura's ship, and it was written in Acura's script, thinking it was a book of Ahura."

"Probably a translated book." Wang Rong guessed.

Ajura was really very enlightened in this era, and he got the Greek stuff. In Wang Rong's impression, China's four major inventions seem to have been learned by them and then spread. Ajura studied not only Western philosophy but also Eastern statutes, and it is said that they sent people to Chang'an to learn the system of the Chinese emperor's governance.

Wang Rong pondered for a moment and said casually: "The land of China has been leading since ancient times. But every race has its strengths and weaknesses, and we don't need to be presumptuous, nor do we need to be complacent and arrogant. If you have something to learn from elsewhere, you can learn it. Learning from its strengths and guarding against its shortcomings is also for the benefit of the country."

Li Si listened carefully, because it was what the emperor said, whether he was justified or not, he had to pay attention to it, and said, "The Holy One is wise."

Wang Rong glanced at him, "These books may have been written by countries further west. The kingdom of Naajura dwelt between the far west and the east, and traveled far and wide. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages of keeping in touch with them. As the deputy envoy of the Craftsman's Academy, Li Envoy must keep the Ajura people, and do not drive them away."

Li Si hurriedly said, "The ministers will obey the will of the Holy Lord. But when the ministers went to Liaodong and seized their men and seized their ships, the Ajura seemed to be very angry."

Wang Rong said, "Let them go, send some benefits, and exempt them from all business taxes for three years to appease. It is profitable, and the Ajura should be profitable."

He patted the translation in his hand, "This thing is useless, the Rites Department of the Ward of the Church has recruited some people who have been in contact with Ajura to learn the Ajura script and retranslate the manuscript. If the court has officials who are proficient in the Ajura language, it will be convenient for them to come and go in the future."

Wang Rong didn't know what was going on on Acura's side at this time, but he always felt that there might be something interesting on Acura's side.

The two ceremonial halls are more magnificent, but if you talk about the exquisite and gorgeous decoration, it is the manna hall. However, Wang Rong didn't understand it very well, and he didn't have the time to study these things carefully. The Imperial City of Chang'an belongs to him, but he has not observed it carefully in the past few years after he ascended the throne. It's like a person who gets rich and has a house full of expensive things, but never cares why those things are so expensive.

Wang Rong walked into the Manna Hall and felt this

He looked good, and he hurried to meet the queen.

Walking into a palace, several palace ladies greeted one after another, "Meet the Holy One."

Wang Rong took a look, among the people who were in the Ganlu Hall was the wife of the Hou Wuluo, Du Shi, which was not surprising, Wuluo's wife Du Shi was the queen's cousin, and she had already taken refuge in the queen, and she usually walked very close. But Linhe Marquis Ouyang Xun's wife Sima Shi was also present, which made Wang Rong a little surprised.

The Sima clan rose in Hanoi County, and there were many celebrities in their ancestors, and they made a bloody investment in Yongguo, Jiguo, and Yuguo. The final result was that these three parties were swept away by the Tang State. The elite of the Sima clan suffered heavy casualties in the battle to destroy the Tang State, and their relationship with Wang Rong was not good.

Ouyang Xun's wife, Sima Shi, is a noble lady who has long been marginalized in the queen's social circle; But now her nephew is more powerful, Feng Sui, the left general of the Guardian Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Wang Rong returned the salute to Sima's family, because she had a relatively high status and greeted the queen.

At this moment, Concubine Du whispered knowingly, "The concubine has been bothering the queen for a long time, so please leave."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Pu's beautiful face, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and he said, "The Holy Lord has just come, you can stay and talk."

Concubine Du and the others were suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Wang Rong didn't know why, so he sat down on a soft couch, and the queen sat next to a coffee table, and the two were usually used to sitting on an equal footing.
