Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then we talk to each other.
But when it came to coming up with real countermeasures, no one spoke for a while.
Although these tens of thousands of books would not cause much damage to the Tang Dynasty, because they were related to the development of the Imperial College, Li Er attached great importance to them.
Li Er asked three times, but no one came forward to offer good suggestions.
After a while, Du Ruhui suddenly came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Ke Ming, I knew you had a good idea. Tell me quickly." Li Er's eyes lit up and he said happily.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are known as "Fang's plan and Du Jue". This does not mean that Du Ruhui has no strategy. On the contrary, both of them are Li Er's ministers and ministers, and their strategies are not very good.
In general, they can be called the two sea-fixing needles of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Ruhui stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the Imperial College has been completely burned down. The most difficult thing to deal with is the burned books. However, the number of books in the collection is huge and there are many types. It cannot be restored at the moment. It can be dealt with in three steps."
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully.
"First, the Imperial College currently has 200 Imperial Confucian students, 400 Imperial students, 1,000 students from the four disciplines, and 400 students from law, calligraphy, and arithmetic, totaling more than 2,000 people. There are also more than 100 envoys from various countries sent to the Tang Dynasty. It is so huge
Most of the books used were damaged, and Jiwen Hall did not have any extra books. I made a calculation this morning, and at the speed of the Imperial Palace Supervisor, it would take at least two months to re-engrave these damaged books.
, but the scientific examination will be held in August, and these students may not be able to wait.”
"The second is to rebuild the Imperial College. The Imperial College is the place where our Tang Dynasty cultivates civil servants. It cannot be abandoned and reconstruction is imminent."
"Thirdly, in addition to the books that the students urgently need, Master Kong told me that many of the remaining fragments of lone copies hidden in the Imperial College have also been destroyed. I implore Your Majesty to re-appoint candidates and search among the people.
The only way to get the original version is to re-edit the ancient version."
boom.
After hearing this, Li Er slapped the table: "Okay, Ke Ming, I didn't expect you to have such a clear idea and even tell me how to do it. However, you just mentioned that the most urgent thing is to solve the problem of books used by the students.
, two months is definitely not enough, Keming, do you have any good ideas?"
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you all to speak first."
With that said, he stepped aside.
Everyone discussed it, but no one had a good idea.
The most direct way is to find hundreds of people and transcribe them every day, but this is too inefficient and takes too long.
For printing, it would take a month to engrave the plate.
In the end, Li Er had no choice but to turn his attention to Du Ruhui, a traitor.
Du Ruhui smiled slightly, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, as the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Since no one has any good ideas today, I will recommend someone who can solve this problem."
"Who?" Li Er asked.
Du Ruhui bowed and said, "It's Quanzi, Du He."
Changsun Wuji immediately objected: "Prime Minister Du, you must not lie. As we all know, Du He built a furniture factory and a Tang Dynasty study by the Bahe River. He has disregarded the face of the court and became a businessman. Just like "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"
It's just a market novel, and it's hard to reach the level of elegance. How can he solve the students' book problem? Is it possible for everyone to go?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
"Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" written by Du He created a trend in Chang'an City and was very popular.
However, many people in the court felt that this kind of novel was a vulgar reading material circulated in the market and was not worth mentioning. Some people even despised it.
Du Ruhui curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to argue for Du He today. It's just that the movable type printing invented by Du He, the dog, can print books at an extraordinary speed. The thick "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is printed every day.
Tang Study can print and bind 50 books, but the total number of craftsmen in Datang Study is less than 30."
Du Ruhui lived in a furniture factory these days, and when he had nothing to do, he went to Datang Study Studio. When he carefully understood the entire principle of movable type printing, he was immediately surprised.
Li Er listened and said: "This movable type printing technology has been spreading a lot during this time. I thought it was something ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful?"
"It's absolutely true. I've seen it with my own eyes. If your Majesty hands over to Du He the books that the Imperial College Supervisors urgently need, they will all be ready within half a month." Du Ruhui said with a serious face.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
This Du He first created a lawless explosive bag, and now he created a movable type printing technology. Is this guy still a human being?
Li Er immediately said to Zhao Yang: "Send someone to the furniture factory quickly and take Du He to the palace."
Immediately, deputy general manager Ximen Qing led people to the furniture factory to invite Du He.
Not long after, Ximen Qing came back alone and went to the palace to report: "Your Majesty, Lantian County Magistrate said that he was very busy and had no time to go to the palace to talk. These were his exact words."
When everyone heard this, they all looked strange.
Isn't this Du He too bold? He dares to resist the decree?
Li Er asked: "Oh? What is Du He doing?"
Ximen Qing shook his head: "There is a flat open space beside the Bahe River. It is surrounded by a high fence. There are several guards around it. Not to mention others, even people from the furniture factory are not allowed to get close.
Half a step, maybe it's another new invention made by Lantian County. I heard that he has become immersed in it these days and rarely shows up."
Ximen Qing had only met Du He a few times, but he had received a lot of benefits. He defended Du He both inside and outside his words.
Hearing this, Li Er muttered: "I just have nothing to do today, so let's go for a walk by the Bahe River and see what Du He is busy with. I have long heard that Du He's new furniture factory uses assembly lines for production, so I want to go and see it.
Look what’s going on!”
…
at the same time.
Du He sat in the soil and carefully used wooden sticks to peel away the soil, revealing the roots of the potatoes.
At a glance, this piece of land is full of green pomeloes and potatoes, and the growth is very gratifying.
During this period, Du He was very frightened.
It can be said that there are many problems in planting these varieties after thousands of years, whether they can germinate, whether their growth will be restricted, whether they can adapt to the climatic conditions, whether they will be affected by pests and diseases... etc., every problem is
deadly.
Therefore, Du He had to run here several times a day and would become worried if there was any trouble.
Fortunately, after such a long time, nothing unusual was found.
When Ximen Qing came to visit today, Du He was instructing the workers to apply fertilizer. When he heard that Li Er wanted to see him for something, he refused without thinking.
Is there anything more important than growing potatoes?
