I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 134 Even a dignified official has a day when he asks for help.

In the morning.

Taiwan's admonishers never get punished for their words.

If demoted, the reasons for demotion must be clearly stated.

Gao Ruone and Ouyang Xiu cursed each other in the court, but each was only fined half a year's salary and received no other punishment.

But after this incident, Gao Ruone's reputation became obviously worse.

There has never been an official in the dynasty who made other officials avoid him.

However, Gao Ruona still went his own way, feeling that he was fulfilling his duties as an admonishing official without any mistakes or omissions.

……

July [-]th.

Zhongshu issued detailed implementation rules for each prefecture and state to publish government newspapers and state newspapers.

Among them, the court did not force any content involving the mysteries of common people's family traditions and secret family recipes.

Those who are willing to donate will be appraised by the Third Division, and the imperial court will reward them with money, and a list of commendations will be posted in front of the state government.

And the secret recipe donated to the imperial court will be accompanied by the name of the donor every time it is printed.

at the same time.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang shared Bi Sheng's "Movable Type Printing".

This method made many bookshop owners very excited, especially those who produced tabloids.

Su Liang was also fortunate enough to see the original version of "Movable Type Printing".

He had always been surprised before.

"Movable type printing" was obviously already being used by people at this time, so why has it not been widely popularized for hundreds of years?

After seeing the advantages and disadvantages mentioned by Bi Sheng, Su Liangquan understood.

Compared with block printing.

Movable type printing is flexible, convenient and fast in printing speed.

However, because it is typesetting with movable type, the layout is difficult to tighten, and it is easy to cause the movable type to fall off, become horizontal, and become inverted during the printing process.

In addition, because the movable types are all individually movable types and are purely hand-engraved, they are far less neatly written and printed than engraving printing, and the font size and thickness are prone to inconsistencies.

Also, when it comes to inking, there will be uneven shades of ink.

Literati and book collectors in the Song Dynasty have always regarded books as heirloom works of art.

Once there are flaws, its artistic value will be drastically reduced.

Therefore.

Because the technology of movable type printing was not up to standard and could not meet the aesthetics of the literati of the Song Dynasty. In addition, too much movable type was consumed to print large books, so it has been difficult to replace woodblock printing and be popularized by the public.

However, when it comes to printing newspapers, movable type printing is a powerful tool.

Newspapers pay attention to timeliness, content, and convenience, but aesthetics is completely ignored. It is a perfect match for movable type printing.

And this moment.

16-year-old Shen Kuo recorded Bi Sheng's "Movable Type Printing" in his small notebook.

He likes to copy books, and even more likes to record some miscellaneous contents.

For example: elephants, skills, utensils, strange things, magic, medicine discussion, local chronicles, divination, art and literature, etc.

Shen Kuo hopes to record these interesting and practical things and compile them into books so that many people can see them.

Followed by.

Kaifeng Prefecture also began to compile articles for the Kaifeng Prefecture newspaper.

On Ouyang Xiu's recommendation, 16-year-old Shen Kuo went to the Kaifeng Prefecture Reporting Department to work as an unstructured collationist.

……

July 25th, early in the morning.

Su Liang just walked into the Yushitai.

Then I saw Fan Zhen, the imperial censor, Li Xingzhou Yuan, the censor of the palace, and Lu Jie, the censor of the censor, chatting animatedly in the courtyard.

When the three of them saw Su Liang approaching, they all gathered around and looked at Su Liang with admiration.

Fan Zhen said excitedly: "Brother Jingming, you have made great achievements again!"

Su Liang was stunned and murmured: "I haven't done anything recently!"

"This morning, news came from the palace that Miao Zhaorong and Zhang Meiren are pregnant!" Zhou Yuan said.

"Cough cough..."

Su Liang was a little dumbfounded and almost said: Officials are real men!
Immediately.

Su Liang also understood why Fan Zhen said he had made meritorious service.

The poisons of lead, mercury and cinnabar in the uterus have been eliminated. Now as long as a concubine is pregnant, everyone feels that Su Liang has made a contribution.

This made Su Liang feel weird.

Lu Jie said with a smile: "The bricks used to build the wall come from behind. Maybe in a few years, the officials will still be spoiled for choice when choosing the prince!"

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.

The prosperity of official heirs was something that the entire Song Dynasty looked forward to.

……

Near noon.

Su Liang was reading memorials in the house when several chamberlains came over, led by Zhang Maoze, the current chamberlain.

A waiter next to Zhang Mao was holding a tray with a piece of paper on it.

But I can't see what it is yet.

Su Liang and the officials from the Procuratorate came out one after another, full of curiosity.

Such ostentation.

Naturally, there is an official decree coming.

Zhang Mao then looked at Su Liang and said: "The official's oral instructions and the supervisory censor Su Jingming once advocated the expansion of prefectural and county schools to benefit the people's livelihood. This move is far-sighted and has a profound impact on our government's current printing of prefectural newspapers to serve the people." Confused, it is of great benefit. Considering that Su Jingming's family has several members and lives in a shabby house, we will be given a house as a special reward."

Su Liang was a little confused.

This reward is so generous!

"Ahem..." Zhang Mao couldn't help coughing twice when he saw Su Liang was in a daze.

Su Liang quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you... the official for your kindness!"

"This is the house deed. The house has been cleaned and all items are complete. When Su Yushi moves, just call the Imperial City Secretary." Zhang Mao said with a smile, and then handed the house deed to Su Liang.

Immediately, the group left.

As soon as Zhang Mao left, Lu Jie and Zhou Yuan surrounded him.

Su Liang opened the house deed and saw that the house was near Zhouqiao, and it was a three-entry courtyard.

Today's officials advocate frugality, but they are never stingy in rewarding officials. "Jingming, Sanjinyuan near Zhouqiao is worth tens of thousands! The official gift of the house deed means that your official position is stable, Jingming, and you can only move up but not down!" Lu Hui said with a look of envy.

Zhou Yuan smacked his lips and said: "Jingming, the officials actually called your seven or eight-room house a shabby house. Then... then... what kind of house am I renting? Oh, I'm so envious of you! "

"This reward from the official family is too heavy, too heavy! However, I am indeed thinking of changing to a larger house. This is indeed a pillow for sleep, and the official family is thoughtful."

Say it.

Su Liang folded the house deed, stuffed it into his arms, and walked towards the house with square steps.

"Who would let someone be a favored official?" Lu Jie and Zhou Yuan both rolled their eyes.

However, Su Liang was rewarded, and the two of them did not feel it was unfair at all.

Because what Su Liang relies on is not to flatter others or cater to the holy will, but to rely on his own talents and abilities.

soon.

The news that Su Liang was rewarded with a three-entry house spread to various government offices.

The officials were not too surprised. Su Liang got the favor purely based on his ability.

There is really no need to complain about this.

……

That night.

When Su Liang took the house deed home and said it was a reward from the officials.

Father-in-law Tang Ze was so excited that he almost pulled Su Liang and kowtowed three times towards the palace.

Tang Wanmei directly added two dishes for Su Liang.

Little Su Zimu also bared his teeth and claws happily.

If he didn't hug his waist tightly, he would immediately jump out like a frog.

Tang Wanmei originally wanted to change her house, and she had saved enough money, but the gift from the official family was of extraordinary significance.

Now, in Tang Wanmei's eyes, Su Liang is everything to her.

Tang Ze happily drank more than a kilogram of wine. While drinking, he said that when he returned to Yangzhou, he would have something to show off to his old friends again.

Su Liang saw Tang Ze smiling, Tang Wanmei smiling, and little Su Zimu smiling, and he smiled too.

This is life!
……

The next day, afternoon.

Su Liang went to the Yintai Department to pick up some documents, and was about to return to the Yushitai, but was blocked by Zhang Maoze in casual clothes.

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "Su Yushi, the official family invites me to Fan Lou for tea."

"At this time? Going to Fanlou for tea?" Su Liang looked confused.

Su Liang drank a lot of good tea from Zhao Zhen, including in Chongzheng Hall, Chuigong Hall, and the Hanlin Academy.

But this time, he was suddenly called to Fanlou for tea. It must be a private matter and could not be discussed in a restricted manner.

Immediately.

Su Liang changed his clothes and rushed to Fanlou with Zhang Maoze.

Fanlou is very close to Jinzhong.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Liang saw Zhao Zhen sitting in the private room.

Zhang Mao was making tea aside.

Zhao Zhen looked at Su Liang and asked, "Jingming, is the house satisfactory?"

"The official is so kind, I am very satisfied, very satisfied!" Su Liang quickly handed over his hand.

At this time, Zhang Mao brought a cup of tea to Su Liang.

Su Liang took a slight sniff and knew it was dragon cake and phoenix cake.

Suddenly, Su Liang sat up straight.

He always felt a little weird.It is absolutely impossible for the officials to come to Fanlou to drink such good tea to chat with him.

Finish three cups of tea.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Recently, both Miao Zhaorong and Zhang Meiren are pregnant, you should know it!"

"I know that the prosperity of the royal family's heirs is really a blessing to our Song Dynasty!" Su Liang said.

"Last night, Zhang Meiren cried to me that her uncle Zhang Yaozuo was not accustomed to the acclimatization and climate in Jizhou and was always sick. She begged me to transfer him back to the north. I was so excited that I promised her that I would appoint Zhang Yaozuo as the envoy of the Southern Academy of Xuanhui. Sentence to Henan Prefecture."

As soon as these words came out, Su Liangquan understood.

Zhao Zhen first gave him a mansion and then invited him to tea. It turned out that he wanted to ask him to do something.

He felt that he had accepted a "bribe" from today's officials.

"I actually regretted it after I said it, but after all, you have no joke. I will handle the two houses. You can think of a way for me so that Tai Jian, Bao Zheng, and Ouyang Xiu will not object."

Swish!
Su Liang stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Guanjia, then... I haven't lived in that house yet, how about I go home and get the house deed?"

puff!

Zhang Mao on the side couldn't help laughing, then quickly covered his mouth and lowered his head.

Zhao Zhen's face darkened and he said: "This matter has nothing to do with me rewarding you with your house. Su Jingming, you must help me solve this problem. You are the only one I can count on!"

Su Liang sat down again and thought seriously.

Everyone in the court knew Zhao Zhen's feelings for Zhang Meiren.

That is definitely true love.

But two years ago, Zhang Yaozuo was demoted to Jizhou on Jiangnan West Road as a general judge for slandering Empress Cao, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Liang.

Now he has no achievements, his ability is average, and his popularity is also very poor. Now he has to rely on his status as a relative to be promoted, so the courtiers are naturally dissatisfied.

Especially those who hate Zhang Yaozuo, such as Ouyang Xiu, Tang Jie, Bao Zheng, etc., can definitely resign to remonstrate with him.

Su Liang thought for a while and said helplessly: "Officials, I feel that I am already ashamed of myself as a Taiwan remonstrating officer by not speaking out against it!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but stare.

"My family affairs are also state affairs, and Taijian should share my worries. Please think about it carefully."

Su Liang looked helpless.

He felt that Zhao Zhen had successfully bribed him, and he was now riding a tiger.

Su Liang poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zhen and another cup of tea for himself.

Think about it carefully.

First of all, Su Liang felt that he had to stay out of the matter. As a Taiwan admonishment official, how could he support such a "back door" thing.

Secondly, he wanted to prevent Tai Jian, Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and others from conflicting with the officials. If Tang Jie and Ouyang Xiu knew about this, they would definitely resign to remonstrate with them.

Difficult!

After Su Liang drank two pots of tea, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

　Thanks to book friend Lone Star Tears 12134 for the reward of Shaoxing wine. Thank you very much.

　　Historically, Zhang Meiren died young, but when Empress Cao was on the throne, Zhao Zhen still named her Empress Wencheng, which shows her favor for her.Here, Zhao Zhen is confused by the wind blowing from Zhang Meiren's pillow. It's not an exaggeration at all!
