A few days later, all the Dakang Forbidden Army soldiers were fully rested and set out on the journey again.
In a few days, everyone also understood what they should do as soldiers. At the same time, during these few days, Meng Guangyi remembered the gesture Liang An had given him.
The useful things made Meng Guangyi and Li Chun pester Liang An to learn some simple gestures in front of him. Although some of them were developed by Liang An based on the gestures observed by later generations and what he wanted, they were quite effective. .
After seeing these gestures, Li Chun was instantly shocked.
He couldn't help but pester Liang An, making gestures and imitating the method of rapid travel in the mountains proposed by Liang An.
What he didn't know was that while he was pestering Liang An to learn these things, a few people were missing from the team.
In addition to sending some wild honey found in Erlong Mountain back to the capital Luoyang to honor Meng Yuan, the Holy Duke of Wen, there was also another task, which was to present the memorial written by Meng Guangyi to the imperial court.
There is a sage in the wild, and he is a child of a poor family. Caixue himself has confirmed it. If it is not convenient for His Majesty to assign him a civilian official, he will be assigned a deputy position. It’s okay to let him follow you!
Meng Guangyi thought proudly that as long as Liang An could have an official status, even if he was by his side, he would definitely prosper in the future.
But when Meng Guangyi's memorial and his gifts were transported to Luoyang, the capital, he took several waterways to reach the capital base, then turned to land and traveled day and night. Xu Wenchang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, rushed back to Luoyang in a hurry to go to work. Department Yamen.
Even though it was already late at night, he returned as soon as possible and began to call on his subordinates, mobilize the skilled craftsmen in Luoyang, and work with the craftsmen he had taught along the way to create the template for the movable type printing that he had in mind.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had collected the template that his child Xu Huan had received from Liang An, didn't notice it at all when he was walking, because he got out of the carriage in a hurry, and the cloth bags containing the templates were scattered. , piece after piece of templates were scattered on the carriage, and as the carriage moved, piece after piece fell on the street.
In the early morning of the next day, some officials were looking at the bizarre template on the ground on their way to the Sixth Department. They were very curious at first, but when they picked it up again, they were stunned when they saw it.
"And such realistic pictures? Who on earth made such beautiful things?"
Just as someone was muttering there, a colleague next to him shouted to him, complimented him, and discussed something.
The person in question hurriedly hid the template in his sleeve, but his companions still saw it.
"Master Zhao, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I just picked up a gadget."
"I just saw something that looked like a carving?"
The person called Mr. Zhao nodded awkwardly, while a person next to him said something.
"I thought there was something strange about the Minister of Industry. Since he summoned craftsmen all night to carve something, it turned out that he had made something like this, but why did he drop it on the ground after he made it?"
"Uh, is this carved by the Minister of Industry?"
Instantly, the official named Zhao's eyes lit up.
"Interesting, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry looks down upon His Highness the Crown Prince, and as a confidant of His Royal Highness, I must completely remove this thorn in the flesh of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry for His Highness the Crown Prince."
The court meeting began again, but this time the focus was not on some matters that needed to be resolved in the court. Instead, some people began to impeach officials who were not in their own queue.
At first it was some officials the size of sesame seeds, but suddenly someone came out and started impeaching the Minister of Industry.
Everyone was shocked at this moment. Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
It sounds nice to be a minister, but apart from being responsible for some items that His Majesty ordered to be made, what rights does he have? Moreover, this money does not come from the Ministry of Industry, but from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Even if he secretly deducts a little bit, what kind of waves can it cause?
However, when the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was impeached, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was stunned.
I had just worked overtime to make movable type printing, and before I had time to show it to His Majesty, why did someone come to impeach me?
When the official who impeached the Minister of Industry took out the template and handed it to His Majesty, the Emperor of Dakang was stunned for a moment.
I instantly became furious after seeing the template.
"How dare you, Minister of Industry, to make such a thing?"
Looking at the rather unsightly template in the emperor's hand, the Minister of Works knelt down with an ordinary sound.
"Your Majesty is wronged. How could I make such a thing? Last night, I did call on craftsmen to make some items. Now the finished product has been made and is outside the main hall. Your Majesty, please investigate."
Xu Wenchang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was quite confident that the things he produced were really just templates for printing, and the templates in His Majesty's hands were indeed his own.
But how could this be my own?
This was purchased by his son. He claimed that he had taken it for destruction, but he didn't know why it was suddenly lost in Master Zhao's hands. And only one piece is missing?
This is interesting.
As soon as they heard what the Minister of Works said, those who were related to the Minister of Works also hurriedly came out.
"Your Majesty, I also picked up a few motherboards like this near the Sixth Ministry. Before I had time to report it to Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao had already taken it out and said that it was made by Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Please give me your Majesty's advice."
Several more templates of the same type were delivered to His Majesty Dakang. His Majesty Dakang was still very angry at first, but after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but swallowed.
The paintings on this are so lifelike!
I don’t know where the girl is, but she is even worse than the beauties in my harem!
But business was still important now. Emperor Chen Shubao of Dakang hurriedly slapped these templates on the table.
"Do you have anything to say, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, about this?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I said that the craftsmen I called for last night were not making these things, and the finished products have already been made, just outside the main hall. As long as Your Majesty lets the craftsmen bring the things in, everything will be clear."
"Okay, let me listen to what you say." His Majesty Dakang, Chen Shubao, was also very curious about what kind of things the Minister of the Ministry of Industry made. In fact, he also had some guesses in his mind, and it was nothing more than something to compliment himself.
But after the tray covered with red silk was brought up, His Majesty Dakang was indeed a little stunned.
"What is this made of?"
"Your Majesty also asked Rong Chen to explain to Your Majesty."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up and moved forward to lift the red silk. Then everyone saw a wooden board with some carvings on it.
Is this really praising my achievements?
His Majesty the Emperor Dakang was quite happy. Just when he was about to have someone bring this word to him to see what it contained, Xu Wenchang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, directly reached out and grabbed a handful of the wooden board. In an instant, it was all neat and tidy. The neat template turned into a mess.
"This thing made by your Majesty is named movable type printing. As long as the templates are put together as needed, the books we need can be printed. It is much more time-consuming and labor-saving than engraving printing. It is specially dedicated to the underground."
"oh?"
The Dakang Emperor was also proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and he laughed when he saw the heavy gift Xu Wenchang gave him.
"Okay, very good. Not bad, really good."
As His Majesty Dakang spoke, those real literati were also overjoyed.
There are still too few scholars in the world today.
Didn’t you see that all things in Dakang are solved by scholars?
If there were ten or eight more scholars, and this would require printing and printing books, it would be very costly, but by doing this, the Minister of Industry did save a lot of money.
But this time, the topic of Mr. Zhao slandering the Minister of Industry came to an end. Chen Shubao looked at him.
"Since you dare to frame Master Gongshu like this, you should resign and return to your hometown."
One sentence made Mr. Zhao, who thought he would steal the limelight and make great contributions to His Royal Highness, leave the scene with regret.
After Mr. Zhao was taken away, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly began to talk about who came up with this matter. First of all, it was his precious son, and then the instigator Liang An next to him.
However, Emperor Dakang was the most respected emperor in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, so he only remembered his first meritorious service. Liang An dismissed it after hearing it once and rewarded Xu Huan, his son named by the Minister of Industry and Commerce.
There is no need to say, let’s make a baronet first. Give the reward again after there is an attack.
As for Liang An? But he just casually rewarded him with a hundred gold and sent it away.
