Li Yue wondered: "Who else can replace Xu Guogong?"
The little bear lay down in the firewood room and fell asleep soundly. It liked the scent of sawdust the most, which may be related to the fact that bears like to live in tree holes. Maybe it was born in a tree hole, and this was also the first smell it smelled when it was born.
This is the most familiar smell to the little bear. Perhaps it has never had a good smell of this smell since it was taken away by the hunter.
Looking at the little bear lying on the log with his belly and back rising and falling, he even breathed hard.
Zhang Yang stirred the paper pulp with a wooden stick, "Your Majesty has many talents. Gao Shilian is old, and many of his ideas are also old. Now that His Majesty is in his prime, it is also the time for him to make great achievements. He needs a more talented person." A dynamic court.”
"Husband, do you mean Shi Ye Shi Ye?"
Aunt Wang listened quietly to the couple's discussion. This kind of peaceful life made people feel at ease, especially when she saw that Her Highness the Princess's complexion was getting better and better. Now she looked like the girls outside.
The consort and the princess often talk about many things. Sometimes they discuss the current situation outside the customs, sometimes they talk about the changes in the DPRK, and sometimes they talk about other places and mountains.
This made Aunt Wang more sure that Zhang Yang was indeed a very knowledgeable person. This knowledge also gradually changed Her Royal Highness. This change was good and could make Her Royal Highness understand what the world is like better. What is the human heart like and how to survive in this world.
Her Royal Highness the Princess can use Zhang Yang's way of understanding to understand issues that others cannot understand, just like helping Her Royal Highness the King of Wei write the outline of Kuo Di Zhi. In the words of Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is just a casual matter.
Originally, Zhang Yang read the archives from various places in order to improve the papermaking technology, and compiled an outline of the geographical records by the way.
Read a book while taking notes, and then extract some important content.
Others read the dossier in order to understand something, but Li Yue studied while reading. In the process of reading the dossier, he highlighted all the key points. This is the benefit of highlighting the key points.
A strange way of learning.
Later generations have read books for so many years. It is a necessary learning skill to highlight all the key points of a textbook and understand the entire book.
Except for some very torturous subjects, how to draw the key points of the entire book?
Li Yue put down the file in her hand and said, "Husband, this volume of Shuowen Jiezi contains records of papermaking techniques."
Shuo Wen Jie Zi is a widely circulated book in the Tang Dynasty. It is also a compulsory book for children to learn elementary school. A book compiled by Xu Shen at that time can also be regarded as a language reference book. There are more than ten volumes in total, and there are also some who live outside the country. Many unique copies.
Most of the ordinary Confucius studies are in the first ten volumes, and you can study them by comparing them with the six books.
Since the Han Dynasty, many scholars have annotated and related chapters, so that most of the Shuowen Jiezi content circulated today have been re-annotated.
Zhang Yang looked at the scroll in Li Yue's hand, "The Wu people took Yue bamboo, poured it with plum blossom water, let it dry a little, and beat it repeatedly to remove all the velvet and make the bones and muscles clear. This is called spring ointment, and its color is like wax."
Bamboo paper is indeed the best pulp raw material, otherwise it would not be highly praised by later generations of scholar-officials.
It’s not like I haven’t tried wheat terrier, but the effect has never been good.
Nothing can be seen from this passage, but Zhang Yang thought of Sang Ma Zhi.
Most of today's slightly cheaper paper is made of hemp paper, which is very thin, yellowish-brown, and becomes very hard after being stored for a long time, making it difficult to store for a long time.
Hemp paper is also the most produced paper today.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants, which is why bamboo paper can be produced in large quantities because there is no shortage of raw materials.
In the competition of various types of paper, there is one thing that stands out and almost disrupts the entire papermaking pattern, and that is asparagus.
Asparagus is also called rushes and grass.
This is also the leader among plant fibers.
We can't make the snow-white and tough paper of later generations, so we can just make do with it.
We can only start with plant fibers.
Li Yue put down the book in her hand and relaxed her eyes. Whenever she read for a long time, she needed to close her eyes and relax for a while.
In the afternoon, the couple tidied up their home and returned the books they borrowed from the Imperial College.
Carrying big schoolbags, the couple went out to the Imperial Academy.
The masters of the Imperial College are all familiar with the couples who come to borrow books. They often come to borrow books when they are not supervising classes in the Imperial College.
Zhang Yang glanced at Kong Yingda who was giving a lecture. He was telling a group of children the story of the farmer and the snake.
Arriving at the study room of the Imperial College, Zhang Yang put the borrowed books back into their original places.
Li Yue is still looking for books here. For her, this place is a treasure house. Ever since she was able to come to the Imperial College, her thirst for knowledge has not stopped, and she has not done math problems for some days.
"Husband, why are you reading the medicinal scripture?" Li Yue asked curiously, blinking.
"I can't find any clues about papermaking in the classics. Maybe I can find what I want in this herbal treatise."
"Compendium of Materia Medica?" Li Yue still held a volume in her arms.
"I am the only one who can find the secret recipe of papermaking and find the medical classics from the Six Books." Zhang Yang sighed with emotion.
Li covered his mouth and smiled.
It happened that Kong Yingda also finished his lecture. He watched the couple walk into the study room and asked, "The Prince Consort and the Princess are here to borrow books again?"
Li Yue bowed obediently, "Old Master, all the books we borrowed have been put back. Please check them."
Having come so many times, Kong Yingda was naturally relieved. He stroked his beard and said, "I wonder what books Her Highness the Princess and the Consort have read recently."
Li Yue smiled and said: "I recently read an article by Yu Mo in the Book of History."
Kong Yingda nodded and said: "The human heart is dangerous, the Taoist heart is small, and the essence is only one. This is a very obscure and difficult article to understand."
Li Yue said: "Adhere to idealism and be consistent. Xunzi had an explanation at that time. Since the Taoist scriptures say that the human heart is in danger, the Taoist heart is weak. The human heart and the Taoist heart are in harmony, stick to it, and stick to it without changing the original intention. "
Zhang Yang said: "If you don't know how to treat it, the dangerous ones will become more dangerous, and the subtle ones will become subtler. Therefore, it may be dangerous and uneasy, or it may be subtle and difficult to see. However, people all have this shape, so even if they are wise, , cannot be without people’s hearts.”
After listening to the answers of the two couples, Kong Yingda smiled and said: "The knowledge of the Prince Consort and the Princess may be beyond the reach of the sergeants of the court, and it is even strange that they can express such opinions at such a young age. Although they are wise, they cannot be without people's hearts. "
Are you kidding me? This is the opinion of Zhu Xi, the great thinker of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhang Yang smiled helplessly.
Kong Yingda shook his head and sighed, and took a deep look at Zhang Yang, "What a pity."
Zhang Yang asked doubtfully: "What does the old master's pity mean?"
Kong Yingda turned around and looked up at the blue sky outside the house, "It is unfortunate for a person who can understand the truth to have such a talent fall on a person who is only interested in profit."
When Kong Yingda left, Zhang Yang muttered melancholy: "Is this old master scolding me?"
Li Yue held Zhang Yang's hand with a proud expression, "Even if your husband is a profit-seeking person, it is still his knowledge."
The couple finished packing the books and left with some more books.
It would take a certain amount of time to read all the thousands of volumes of books in the Imperial College. After today's class, Kong Yingda entered the palace early to meet Li Shimin.
Since having salted pork as a side dish, Li Shimin's appetite has improved a lot. Recently, the cooks in the palace have been out of work, and His Majesty only needs a piece of salted pork for a meal.
The cooks in the palace are facing the crisis of unemployment.
Seeing Kong Yingda coming, Li Shimin put down his bowls and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Chengqian brought me some salted pork. It tastes unique. I have to bring some back this time."
Kong Yingda cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After the meal, Li Shimin was also used to drinking tea, "Zhang Yang has been monitoring classes at Guozi recently?"
Kong Yingda bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yang is still the same as always reading books all day and never listening to lectures."
“What’s the point of reading all day long?”
"It is also useful to read the books of previous sages several times. I have observed and tested them. Zhang Yang has quite a lot of insight into the contents of the books. His knowledge has become a phenomenon. Perhaps ordinary students do not have such insight as him."
Li Shimin hesitated for a long time, "How much does he know about the principles of monarch and minister?"
Kong Yingda replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yang is not a child who is ignorant. This person has already had his own views on world affairs. If a child is taught from an early age, he may be able to become what Your Majesty wants, but he is already in his weak years. People at this age have already had their own way of understanding the world, and they cannot change it easily."
Li Shimin sighed: "Old Master, do you think I can use this person?"
Kong Yingda thought for a long time, and finally handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty has Xu Guogong to know people, and Zhao Guogong to employ people, and Fang Xuanling can rectify it. The old minister dare not go to Haikou rashly, but the little story written by Zhang Yang is quite interesting. It means that people who can write these stories must also understand the world."
After speaking, Kong Yingda handed over a book and said, "The old minister excerpted a few stories from it. The stories may seem simple, but they embody the way of life."
Li Shimin opened the book and read it patiently, "A fox with a broken tail?"
Kong Yingda laughed and said: "It's a very ironic story, but also a story full of profound meaning."
After reading this story, Li Shimin went on to read the second story, the story of the goat and the donkey. After reading this, Li Shimin frowned and said, "Are these stories really suitable for children?"
Kong Yingda whispered: "Children are willing to read these stories. They will only regard this story as imagination. When the children grow up, they will understand the truth. There is a lot of ingenuity added to it."
Li Shimin put down the book, "I thought this was a book full of people's calculations."
Kong Yingda bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, if you want to re-appoint Zhang Yang, you must be very careful. Even the old officials cannot see through this person."
Li Shimin looked at the little eunuch aside, "Prepare a food box and prepare some salted pork for Mr. Kong Yingda."
Kong Yingda saluted again, "Old minister, I retire."
After Kong Yingda left, Li Shimin read this book with gusto.
Gao Shilian said that Zhang Yang is an unscrupulous person.
Changsun Wuji also said that Zhang Yang is a profit-seeking person.
Kong Yingda said that he was knowledgeable but could not see through it.
The heroes of the world at that time passed away and retired.
There are now only two of the four generals in the clan left.
Li Shimin sighed deeply. There were people like Wei Chigong, Li Ji, and Qin Qiong in the army. There were people like Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, and Yang Shidao in the court.
Zhang Yang is annoying, just like a piece of fine jade that has many spots that cannot be washed away or worn away. I didn’t think so before, but it is this man’s diplomacy that allowed the North Korean soldiers to take down the Hexi Corridor without bloodshed. It can quell the hidden dangers in Mobei.
Such talents will naturally be put to use by me.
The edges should be smoothed before use.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by the Ministry of Education."
Li Shimin took the memorial and took a look at it. It was another memorial handed over by Wei Zheng, which said that Gao Jixi had driven away Li Baiyao.
Gao Fuli's temporary appointment as Minister of Rites was also a favor to Gao Shilian.
As long as Gao Jingcheng made no mistakes, Li Shimin didn't care about these small things. As for the envoy detained by Songtsen Gampo, his life was not in danger now.
The entire Ministry of Rites left Zhang Yang and Li Xiaogong, and the others continued to serve, but Gao Jingcheng did not want to keep the original few people.
As a result, the Ministry of Etiquette is now empty, leaving only Gao Xingxing and his group of fair-weather friends.
Soon Li Shimin issued a decree, and Wei Zheng brought people from Zhongshu Province to the Ministry of Rites and drove away a group of subordinates recruited by Gao Fuxing.
Gao Xingcheng was stunned on the spot, watching his group of friends leave. He didn't dare to lose his temper when facing Wei Zheng. There were some people in this court who could be offended, but if someone like Li Baiyao was offended, it was no big deal.
People like Wei Zheng cannot be offended, and even Changsun Wuji does not dare to offend easily.
Only Gao Xingcheng was left in the huge rites department.
Gao Xingxing cupped his hands and said, "Shizhong Wei, now there is only one person left in the Ministry of Rites, Xiaguan. How should Xiaguan handle matters?"
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said: "The officials registered in the Ministry of Rites include Xu Jingzong, Zhang Xiangxiang, Zhang Dashu and Li Baiyao."
"If Mr. Gao wants to get together with those drunkards, he can just go to the wine shop in Chang'an City. This is the Ministry of Rites, the government office, and the place where the government of the DPRK does things."
"But they didn't listen to the orders of their subordinates."
"This is Mr. Gao's own business and has nothing to do with me. I am only following His Majesty's decree to clean up the unhealthy tendencies in the Ministry of Rites."
Gao Xingxing swallowed hard, as if he had swallowed the grievance.
Wei Zheng continued: "If Mr. Gao still needs help, Zhongshu Province can arrange it, but please don't make any arbitrary decisions."
In the eyes of many people, Wei Zheng is an upright and lonely minister. No one can do anything about such a lonely minister, but he still has the trust of His Majesty.
Outside Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong and Li Baiyao stood outside the Suzaku Gate, watching Gao Xingyi's group of drunkards being driven out, not to mention how happy they were in their hearts.
"I didn't expect Brother Baiyao to be so jealous that he would file a complaint now?" Xu Jingzong whispered with a smile.
"You are not a good person either." Li Baiyao said with a straight face.
