papermaking?
Liu Bang looked at Si Hao stupidly, then suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He. He seemed to understand something!
Paper!
No scholar can bear it!
I am so stupid, really!
Liu Bang woke up suddenly.
Liu Ying was calm and generous, and bowed to Si Hao.
"The merits of paper-making are not too late for one person. The teaching of poetry and books is not exclusive to the nobles. Confucius said that teaching without distinction is a great virtue. The four old gentlemen, regardless of their age, came down the mountain to help each other, which is also a great virtue."
Liu Ying looked around the crowd and said loudly: "The First Emperor once burned books and banned learning. After Xiang Yu entered the Pass, he burned Xianyang and committed a great evil. Nowadays, the books of hundreds of scholars are seriously damaged, and the teachings of sages are less than half. If If it cannot be sorted out and restored in time, a few years later, the old man who read the scroll will pass away, and the descendants who want to bathe and educate will not know where to start!"
"This is a loss for scholars and a pity for the ages!"
Liu Ying suddenly turned her head and said to Shangshan Sihao: "Four old gentlemen, no matter whether they use bamboo slips or silk, it is difficult to quickly recover the lost books...only paper can! You four come here, be brave late in life I sincerely request you to re-edit the classics for the world’s scholars, and leave behind the great meanings of our forefathers for future generations to learn from, so as not to cut off the inheritance and leave regrets for eternity!”
After Liu Ying finished speaking, she bowed deeply.
These words directly reached the full height, and the pattern was infinite.
What we do is not for one family, but for all scholars and civilization!
Sihao didn't understand why, so he returned the favor one after another, full of emotion.
The First Emperor burned books other than official academic books, and Xiang Yu burned the Qin Dynasty's collections. The two men worked together in a tacit understanding, one treating the symptoms and the other the root cause, achieving the great achievement of treating both the symptoms and the root cause.
The learning of various schools of thought has suffered heavy losses, and only one of its famous works has been lost.
Today, people like Shangshan Sihao are still there, and many things are still stored in their heads and can be excavated.
If these people disappear in a few years, even if they want to recover, it will be impossible.
This is how the history of the Shangshu controversy came about.
But now Liu Ying has offered to rescue books and save hundreds of schools of thought. No scholar can refuse. Not to mention Si Hao, even if Confucius and Meng Fuzi were alive, they would come over and obey Liu Ying's orders.
As expected, Tang Bing bowed and said: "Young Master has extraordinary knowledge and great virtue, and the four old men will definitely help us. Even if we put in all this hard work, we will still be able to survive and rebuild!"
Wu Shi also smiled and said: "Yes, in the past, bamboo slips were as vast as smoke and silk was as expensive as gold. Even if you have the intention, you can't do anything. Now that we have paper, we can show our talents! Our old bones are finally of some use!"
Sihao said excitedly.
Liu Bang looked ugly on one side. He turned to look at Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo. The first time he invited someone, it was Fan Kuai, and the second time, it was Zhou Bo.
Not only did these two idiots fail to invite Si Hao, they also lost the master!
That's all. The key is that Shuzi did it easily. Doesn't this show that he is too useless!
Liu Bang was very upset and wanted to blame him, but he couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Shusun Tong, Zhang Cang, Li Shiqi, and Lou Jing, these civil servants all fell down together, and then the other civil servants also did the same.
Liu Bang frowned, "What do you want?"
Shusun Tong raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I know that the military affairs are urgent and money and food are scarce, so the king is in many difficulties. However, I still implore the king to use four old gentlemen to sort out the classics and restore poetry and books immediately as the prince said. To prepare for the restoration of enlightenment after Xiang Yu is pacified!"
Shusuntong said again: "I am not talented, but I am willing to give half of my salary to participate in this grand event!"
Zhang Cang also said quickly: "I am also willing to contribute my salary to repair the book!"
Liu Bang frowned slightly. He had always looked down on Confucian scholars. He felt that these people were only talkative, and when things got serious, they were greedy for life and fearful of death, and were indolent and indolent.
But I didn't expect that they would actually volunteer their salary!
It seems that I still haven't figured out the pulse of this group of people...
Liu Bang suddenly looked at Liu Ying and found that this little Zhuzi was there, standing tall and silent... But Liu Bang felt that this little Zhuzi must be laughing, laughing very, very wildly!
Make fun of yourself for being incompetent!
Liu Bang endured his discomfort, took a deep breath, and smiled at everyone: "There is no need for this, I am not a person who does not understand the importance of things. Since repairing books is so important, let Prime Minister Xiao be responsible!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao He.
"Your Majesty, I have to manage the government affairs in Guanzhong and allocate food, grass and weapons. I really have no skills at all. What's more, I am a junior official, with low education and no knowledge of book repair. The most I can do is provide convenience... I boldly request that the young master Take charge of this!"
Liu Bang was stunned, "He is just a child, what does he know?"
Xiao He said sternly, "Your Majesty, the young master can make paper, and can think of using paper to ask the Four Hao for help, which is already a hundred times better than the minister. What's more, someone is responsible for repairing books, and the master only needs to master the general outline. I thought that the master would be responsible. This matter couldn’t be more appropriate.”
Liu Bang pondered for a while and then said: "Ying, do you think you can do it?"
Liu Ying took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Father, my child doesn't know how to repair books. I just provide paper and food for you gentlemen so that they can repair their books in peace. In their spare time, I wish I could teach my children a few words."
Si Hao nodded immediately and said without hesitation, "The four old men will definitely live up to the young master."
Zhang Cang actually said: "I learned from Xunzi. If the young master does not dislike it, I am willing to teach him everything I have learned."
Liu Ying was overjoyed, "So I am the direct descendant of Xunzi? Thank you Mr. Zhang."
Shusun Tong said with a sullen face: "Young Master, I am a direct descendant of the Kong family!"
Liu Ying smiled and said: "I know, don't worry, I will study hard. Try to master it and become a Confucian scholar! Hahaha!"
"Just being familiar with Confucianism is not enough, you have to be knowledgeable in hundreds of schools of thought!"
A calm voice sounded, but the speaker was Li Shiqi!
Liu Ying looked up and found that the other civil servants from various families were staring at him sinisterly as if they had seen a wolf of flesh...
Liu Ying suddenly felt bad, turned around quickly, and came to Wu Ren's side.
Cao Shen coughed in embarrassment, "Sir, I don't know how to repair books. If you are short of money, I can give you some."
Liu Ying waved her hand, "Father Zhong is joking, but you really should come up with some money."
Cao Shen frowned.
Liu Ying smiled and said: "In addition to revising books, I also need to promote teachings and train disciples... If there are suitable Cao family disciples, please send Father Zhong over and listen to the teachings with me."
"Ah!" Cao Shen exclaimed. He was a little disapproving at first, thinking that repairing books was just a matter for literati. Now that his children can also go to school, it's a big difference!
A member of Xunzi's disciples, the young master is reading with me... It's a pie in the sky, and it's only two pieces!
"Thank you, sir, thank you so much, sir!" Cao Shen thanked him without words.
As soon as they said this, everyone else understood.
Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, and Guan Ying all came over together.
But the most active one was Fan Kuai, who rushed to the front with his huge body.
"Master, please help me. If our Fan family can produce a scholar, my life, Fan Kuai, will be yours!"
Good guy!
Liu Bang's nose was so angry that he was so angry that Mr. Nai was not kind to you. How come you bastards have become such arrogant people?
Liu Ying finally managed to deal with the enthusiastic warrior. When she turned around, she saw Liu Bang's dark face... Was the old gangster jealous?
In this case, let’s follow through!
Liu Ying took a few steps forward and came to Liu Bang, "Father, I boldly request that a National History Museum be set up for you gentlemen to compile books. In addition, an Imperial Academy will be set up outside the National History Museum to teach the children of civil servants."
Liu Bang took a deep breath and nodded.
At this time, Zhang Liang actually spoke up, "Your Majesty, what the Young Master said is absolutely true. Compiling books and writing history is a major event that will be passed down through the ages. It cannot be careless. Every word written now will be of great importance thousands of years later. . I thought that I could let the young master supervise the compilation of the history of the country!"
When Zhang Liang spoke, Liu Bang could only nod, "Just do what Mr. Zifang wants."
Liu Bang was really depressed, everything was a good thing, and he also understood that it was just that he had to give up the lottery to Shuzi, which really made him, the King of Han, lose face.
Are you worse than a child?
Even though it is my own, that’s not okay!
Liu Bang's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly lowered his head and found that he was still holding the invitation written by Liu Ying to Si Hao in his hand. He picked it up and looked at it... The first half was the crooked Chinese character "dog crawling", and the second half was the introduction paper. Basic information and uses.
Sihao was invited down the mountain by this thin thing!
After Liu Bang sighed, he suddenly thought of an idea, "Ying, you have made a great contribution this time, so let's put your handwritten invitation in the National History Museum for future generations to admire!"
After saying that, Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying. The boy's face fell instantly. Liu Bang actually smiled happily... which was a sigh of relief.
