Chapter 179 Call the second brother over again and ask for clarification
Most scholars do not know much about horseshoes and are not very concerned about them, but almost all scholars are deeply touched by wooden movable type.
Except for the scholars with the five surnames and Qiwang, almost all scholars cheered. After all, as long as they find a way, anyone can do the wooden movable type.
The method is also very simple. When it comes to it, everyone will know it, so when the method is announced, most scholars were very excited.
You should know that as long as you do this, the price of books will drop by half in the future. For most poor scholars, they will naturally sing and dance.
And the scholars of the five surnames and seven hopes...
The reason why I am not so happy is naturally that after everyone has books to read, it is extremely unfavorable to these famous families.
Nowadays, most of the knowledge is mastered in these famous families. If a scholar who knows the Analects can sell it for a few cents of money as long as he handwritten a few copies of the Analects and gets it on the street and sells it, he can almost be said to make money while lying down.
However, after Fang Jun proposed this method, those scholars had almost no way to make money while lying down, and some scholars with five surnames and seven hopes naturally cursed.
In short, the entire Tang Dynasty was in full bloom.
Military officers were discussing the use of horseshoes, while civil servants and some scholars were discussing the influence of wooden movable type, Fenglailou, Imperial College, and even the Taichi Palace in the imperial palace were all in a sensation.
Regarding horseshoe, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were actually a little strange. After all, when Fang Jun was in Fang Mansion that day, he did not mention this matter.
But after Fang Jun left, Li Shimin suddenly asked, and Wei Shuyu mentioned this matter. Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi were both scholars. They did not have a deep understanding of this, and they did not know how much impact this thing had on military and horses, so they never said it.
If Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were not talking about it, they might not have remembered this incident.
However!
How did Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others have seen it?
They fought for the world on horseback, so they naturally knew the importance of military and horses. It is no exaggeration to say that in recent years, almost half of the losses of military and horses were slipping.
If thousands of horses gallop and the army slips, it is very likely that soldiers will be killed. It is not uncommon for generals to die in history books.
Therefore, when Li Shimin, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and others heard about this, they were all instantly exploded.
He asked Wei Shuyu several questions in a row, and even stared at Fang Yi and asked directly what was going on? When did Fang Yiai say it?
Wei Shuyu saw Li Shimin and others staring at him, and naturally felt a little panicked. After looking at Fang Yizhi, he said, "That day, Fang's husband and I were drinking tea in the teahouse, and suddenly mentioned this matter! Perhaps he said this casually, and he didn't take it seriously! He just said that on that day, a military horse transported food, and the horse's hooves slipped, causing the army horse to fall and dump the food. After seeing it, Fang's husband said that this method can solve the problem of military horse slipping!"
"And he also said that most military and horses are like this. Now the Tang Dynasty's military and horses are the foundation of the country and the top priority. As long as this method is used, most of the loss of military and horses can be solved! The empress do not know why the prince-consort of Fang has never mentioned this matter. Perhaps he thinks this matter is not important. In fact, the reason why the prince-consort of Fang said this on that day was mostly about how we think about the problem! Just like the wooden type! He still highly praised the object of Investigation!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were shocked and looked at Fang Yizhi again.
Fang Yizhi laughed awkwardly and said, "Yizhi was also a little confused about this matter. The second brother did mention it casually that day! Of course, this method may be extremely useful. But the second brother did not tell others! If your Majesty wants to know, you can call the second brother over again and ask clearly!"
"He didn't say it just now!" Li Shimin said angrily.
Very excited!
Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu were choked and suddenly didn't know what to say.
For them, this may have been a great contribution. After all, it is necessary to solve the problem of the Tang Dynasty's military and horses, so it is less important to be granted official positions and have no mention of it. It is just a matter of wood movable type.
For people like Li Shimin who are very ambitious, where is the horseshoe important in wooden movable type?
As long as you make horseshoe, the effect will be immediate, and the wooden movable type will not be effective in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
So that day, Li Shimin, Xiao Yu and others stayed in Fang Mansion for nearly a day, and asked Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi several questions in succession.
After leaving the Fang Mansion, he excitedly attracted several people to test whether the horseshoe was really effective. When the effect came out, everyone was naturally sensational.
The news soon spread, and together with the wooden movable type, bombed the entire Chang'an City. In just one day, the whole Chang'an was in full swing.
When discussing these things, many people couldn't help but think of the plaque standing at the gate of the Imperial College.
There is also a sentence written above: Establish your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, carry forward your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!
Although the prince-in-law hid at home every day and seemed to be doing nothing, he seemed to interpret the meaning of this sentence every time he did something.
"The most talented man in the Tang Dynasty is the one who is Fang Yiai!"
"Horse-shoes can solve the loss of the Tang Dynasty's military and horses. With one's own strength, it can save millions of chunks of military expenditures in the Tang Dynasty! This is an unpredictable achievement of gods and ghosts!"
"As soon as the wood movable characters are released, everyone in the world has books to read, this is to establish a destiny for the people and to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints!"
"No more than anything else! These things are really... extremely smart! This person is my talent in the Tang Dynasty!"
In the Imperial College, countless scholars and old Confucian scholars were talking and sighing.
Someone has tested wooden movable type, which is indeed extremely simple. Although wooden movable type has flaws, there is already a solution. It is extremely simple to make other movable type.
Such wonderful ideas really benefit the public and the country and the people.
...
Fang Jun did not go out today.
Because I am lazy, I stay at home to eat something or learn to draw with the little girl. The anime movies are almost done and I can watch them soon.
In addition, Fang Jun also found some bamboo and wood to cut it into pieces and made it into mahjong.
Um!
He had already planned to make a pair of mahjong to play, but he hadn't done it well. After several days of busyness, the mahjong was finally almost done.
After the mahjong is finished, you can call Jinyang, Xiaohe, Xiaozi and others to play together, otherwise you will be too idle at home all day.
Jinyang did not go out either. She didn't know what was going on outside, so she did not return to the palace.
In general, this day was extremely peaceful for Fang Jun. No one came to disturb him in the house. He leisurely made some delicious food.
He didn't want to care about those Tubo people anymore, so he would give Li Shimin a headache!
Or, give the man who is still sitting on the bench in the harem a headache!
She can solve the problem in Tubo!
Chapter completed!
