Datang Longya

Chapter 57

Originally, Leng Feng could have killed this guy in one face-to-face meeting, but Li Jing's proof of what his master said made him a little confused, and he really hoped to clear his mind.

Leng Feng did not attack, but used body skills and unloading force to deal with the enemy.

It wasn't until he practiced the technique of unloading force again that Leng Feng flashed behind the warrior, and a table leg slammed into the back of his head!

The cold front of the table leg used a dark force, and when it was pulled down, the sound of bone cracking and the breaking of the table leg rang out at the same time.

Leng Feng didn't even look at whether the fallen person was still alive, he threw the half-cut table leg aside, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Li Jing poured Leng Feng a cup of tea, said with a smile, "The landlord's martial arts skills are really superb."

Leng Feng sat back on the stool and said to Li Jing: "I just felt something in my heart. It seems that I caught something, and it seemed that what I caught was just a ray of breeze. I want to go back to Chang'an. The situation in the grassland will not be the same if you are here." What's the big problem. I'll leave you the Swift and Vigorous teams, and when your squadron returns to court, I'll host a banquet in Tianxialou to entertain you."

Li Jing smiled and said: "It's a good thing to have a feeling. I also hope to see another martial arts master appear. Now that the vital forces in the southern part of East Turkic have been wiped out, the rest is to expand the soil. I will go back in half a year at the latest. "

"Half a year?"

Leng Feng glanced at Li Jing, isn't the battle won?Why do you have to stay here for half a year?

"The agreement reached between Tang Jian and Western Turks is that the south of East Turks belongs to us, and the north belongs to them. Since they didn't send troops to the south, they must have attacked the north of East Turks. Now East Turks have become the meat of two tigers. , whoever uses more force can eat a piece more. But if the tiger's mouth touches..."

"Two tigers should consider the meat in each other's mouth."

Leng Feng nodded, bowed his hands to Li Jing, and dragged Li Ke towards Taxue.

When the Tang army encountered the Western Turkic army, most of them would confront each other and fight with each other. It is estimated that they would not be able to fight.

Every time the army is dispatched, it can be said that it is a waste of people and money. Li Shimin resolutely sent troops to conquer the East Turks under the condition of weak national power this time, not only to expand the land, but also to deter.

There is nothing more deterrent than the destruction of the country to the surrounding area. After the death of East Turkic Jieli, internal disputes continued, and it was worth fighting in the late winter and early spring when the soldiers and horses were weakened. Such an opportunity, even if the national strength is weak, is worth fighting for!

This kind of analysis should be taught to Li Chengqian that what a ruler needs most is a view of the overall situation. His father Li Shimin's view of the overall situation is very good, and he finally won the title of "Heavenly Khan".

But at this time Li Chengqian didn't have time to learn this, he and his younger brother Li Tai were busy pouring tea for more than a hundred old guys.

It's unreasonable!In the past, the great Confucians who were ashamed of the court and sneered at being an official, and only devoted themselves to learning, heard that the court had invented a machine for printing books quickly. After hearing that the court had invented a machine for printing books quickly, they met and blocked the gate of the palace together, asking for a face-to-face. Yao Silian was the one who was pushed to the head.

Who is Yao Silian?A veteran of three dynasties, and one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, he has the best relationship with Li Shimin among this group of great Confucians.

When Li Shimin came to the throne, Yao Silian did not agree to be an official, but took the title of "Prince Xianma" and stayed at home all day to compile and usurp history books.

More than 100 highly respected Confucian scholars blocked the entrance to ask for the Holy Spirit. This is a big deal. Li Shimin, who was holding a court meeting in the Taiji Palace, hurriedly led all the officials to walk to the entrance of the palace to greet him.

In the face of these great Confucians, Li Shimin would not put on the airs of the emperor, welcome the great Confucians into the palace, and set up seats in the Taiji Palace to serve tea.

Yao Silian, as the leader this time, didn't drink tea, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the general supervisor has made a machine for printing books. Just a few dozen machines can be used together to make thousands of books every day. Is there any chance?" This matter?"

Li Shimin nodded: "That's true. This thing was conceived by the owner of Tianxialou, the prince drew a picture, and improved the production by the supervisor. It is an exaggeration to print more than [-] in a day. Although the machine runs fast, the paper is too brittle and fragile. Only those that are beautifully printed and ink-tight can be bound into a book. Five hundred books can be made in one day."

Yao Silian also thinks that [-] is a fantasy, but [-] is already a big number!
"Your Majesty, articles are a matter of ages. How many ancient books in my great China are lost because of scarcity! Besides, it is my lifelong wish to educate the world. I just want to ask, can this printing machine be passed on to the outside world!"

Han Chongwen, a teacher of the "Caotang Bookstore" in Kaimingfang, the children of ordinary people can enroll in his school, and the tuition fees are only some grains and wild vegetables.Any Chang'an person who met him would respectfully call him "Mr. Caotang".

Li Shimin also admired this old man very much, so he cupped his hands in his seat and said: "Mr. Caotang is a great Confucian with high morals and high esteem. How many people can do it?"

All the great scholars bowed their heads in annoyance, yes!Literate craftsmen, the whole world will be those who will be prisons, and only master craftsmen who will be prisons can engrave and print books.

The slogan of "educating all people" has been shouted for thousands of years, but now, there are still many people who are illiterate. Han Chongwen dedicated himself to teaching the children of the people to read. Among those children, they are the smartest, and they can only memorize five or six characters a day.

The collision between the fiery dream and the cold reality is the most sad, and many great Confucian scholars burst into tears.

Li Shimin ordered his servants to bring handkerchiefs to the weeping Confucians, and then took out small wooden blocks that were half an inch thick, three inches wide, and five inches high, and placed them in a triangle on the table.

All the Confucian scholars are puzzled, they don't know what the emperor is doing, can these wooden blocks solve our troubles?

Li Shimin pointed to the triangle on the table and said: "This is called pushing cards, and it's a game played in Tianxialouhao Casino. Of course, what I'm introducing to you is not gambling, but a truth contained in it."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin pushed down a wooden block at the top of the triangle, and the fallen wooden block knocked down two blocks on the second floor, and two blocks knocked down four blocks...

The moment all the wooden blocks fell, Yao Silian jumped up!

"I understand! I understand!"

An old Confucian sitting next to Yao Silian hurriedly pulled Yao Silian's sleeve and asked, "What did you see?"

Yao Silian walked up to Li Shimin without any courtesy, picked up the first block and said, "This is me!"

After speaking, he picked up the two wooden blocks on the second floor and said, "These are my two apprentices!"

"These are my four grandchildren!"

"It may take five years for me to teach two people how to read, but if each of my two apprentices teaches two more, after ten years, I will make six more literate people in the world!"
