Chapter 337
The tripod of Kyushu has existed in history. It was after Dayu succeeded in water control, he divided the world into Kyushu, and the prefectures were established as prefectures.Then ask Kyushu to contribute bronze and cast Jiuding, and send people to draw pictures of famous mountains and rivers, scenic spots, and strange objects across the country in advance, and then let craftsmen imitate these paintings on the body of Jiuding, one tripod symbolizes one state.Jiuding symbolizes the world, expressing the unity of the country and the concentration of royal power.

Therefore, it was later used to aspire to the top of the world to represent the achievement of unified control of the country.

Wang Hua also knew about the tripod of Kyushu, ten times more than Li Gu'er.

This Jiuding is by no means a legend. Although the history of more than 1000 years from the Zhou Dynasty is unbelievable, the myth is several times more than the historical fact. "Chaojueshu", "Mozi", and "Zuozhuan" all recorded this matter successively, and the Jiuding still existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. Sending envoys to express condolences, Zhuang Wang asked for the big and small, which showed that he had the ambition to destroy Zhou.This is also the second origin of aspiring to the top of the world.

But after more than 200 years, Jiuding disappeared strangely. There are different opinions about how it disappeared.

As a result, various legends have been formed. The biggest one is that the bronze that Yu ruled the world was cast into nine huge tripods. It is hard to say how big it is.

I am afraid that only Wang Hua knows it best. This only shows that the ancestors in ancient China had considerable wisdom, and they knew the bronze casting process under the backward situation of semi-primitive and semi-slavery.

But whether it is as miraculous as mentioned in the book is two different things. I don't believe that so many cultural relics of Xia, Shang and Zhou have been unearthed in later generations. You can compare them.

As for the Jiuding will not be very small, otherwise it would not be possible to keep it for such a long time, but how big it will be can be compared.In his previous life, he remembered that the largest unearthed tripod was unearthed in the Republic of China. A Simuwu tripod in the late Shang Dynasty was 1.3 meters high, with a mouth length of 1.1 meters, a mouth width of 78 cm, and a weight of 830 kg.

This is the largest known tripod. It is estimated that Xiang Yu would not be able to lift it even if he was alive. Anyway, Wang Hua is now sure that he will win the gold medal in weightlifting in the Olympics, but he must be disappointed with this tripod. He can’t move it even if he wants to, let alone raised.

But the value of handicrafts cannot be calculated according to the material. If this is the calculation, even if the nine big tripods are cast like this, and the tripods are turned into copper coins, no matter how they are mixed with other metals, they are only five or six thousand guan, which is not unbearable. scope.

This is Wang Hua's idea, but Li Gu'er doesn't think so. In her idea, it is made of copper from all over the world.Now the copper coins are feeling nervous, if Wang Hua really wants to do this, the ministers will probably put Wang Hua on the fire and roast him to death.

Although Wang Hua might be able to justify his father's name, Li Gu'er still grabbed Wang Hua's elbow and said, "Don't."

Wang Hua laughed and asked, "What are you worried about?"

But he immediately understood, stroked her beautiful black hair with his hand, and said: "It's not what you imagined, this financial resource does not have to be paid for by the imperial court, it is borne by my royal family, this is my reward to the Holy Majesty. Moreover, after the successful production of the Jiuding, not only will the Holy Majesty obtain true righteousness, it will also gather the enterprising spirit of the entire nation, and may even have a greater effect. In short, its benefits are beyond anyone's imagination. Even I can't imagine."

Li Bao'er couldn't understand.

Wang Hua also said: "Furthermore, the Nine Tripods not only concentrated the highest casting technology of bronze wares, but also the highest achievements of many crafts such as jade wares, gold and silver wares, lacquer wares, and porcelain wares. Not only that, but also calligraphy, painting, sculpture, etc. It is even the culmination of all literature in articles, poems and recitations, and includes astronomy, geography, calendar, mathematics, and so on.”

Speaking of this, he also looked yearning, and said: "In short, once it is cast, it may be the real king of utensils, not only the king of craftsmanship, but also the king of knowledge."

"But that would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it?"

"It's a lot," Wang Hua said, but as for how much it will be, he can't predict it now. Anyway, it is far from several times, or even dozens of times, the initial weaving of Li Gu'er, which has not yet appeared.

The casting of the Jiuding, looking at the Tang Dynasty, in which family, whether it is the Cui family or the Li family, or the Wei family and the royal family itself, the huge expenditure may be paid by the family, but in the end it will be paid by this family. Huge expenses will inevitably drag down the entire family.

Now the Wang family's property is even worse.However, the creation of the Nine Tripods did not take place in a day, nor did it take a year. By then, the property in Oceania would flow in a steady stream. This was his true foundation.

And because of making this piece of equipment, I can temporarily get out of the court.At the same time, it is also a protective umbrella, at least before the Jiuding is completed, Li Xian will not attack him.Another advantage is that Sifeng's whereabouts are unknown now, because he still wanted to keep the Nanyang route, and because of this expense, Webster would be ashamed to let her family annex that fleet.

At the same time, because of the need for a large number of workers and the complicated traffic of personnel, this also allows him to do some tricks and arrange some plans.

Of course, the biggest benefit is to help the country, the nation, and one's own reputation.

"But what will it look like?" Seeing that Wang Hua was full of confidence, Li Gu'er didn't worry anymore, but immediately thought of Wang Hua's words, what kind of tripod, in addition to bronze wares, there are gold and silver wares, jade wares, Lacquerware, porcelain, as well as astronomy, geography and calendar, and even calligraphy and painting articles, poems and songs?
Wang Huale said: "Temporarily keep it secret, but I will let you see the first sample."

Having said that, he lowered his head, looked at Li Gu'er, and said, "But you go back and tell the Holy One that I don't need financial support from the state, but I need some manpower, first of all, a large number of craftsmen, but the salary and accommodation are up to you." I'm in charge."

If Wang Hua takes on the financial resources and has the righteousness to recast Jiuding, this request is not high.

Of course, this is Wang Hua. If it were someone else, it might make people suspicious. If you have the financial resources, if you don't have the ability to cast Jiuding into a four-shaped image, the crime will be even greater.

After all, this symbolizes the world, even more lofty than the jade seal.

Li Bao'er began to imagine again, and she asked, "Will it be more exquisite than the bamboo and porcelain you brought out in Xijing that day?"

In her eyes, the three 氍毹 pieces and the following pieces of porcelain that Wang Hua took out that day were no longer mortal objects.

Wang Hua smiled and said, "It must be more than that."

"Then what about the lacquer sculpture you had at the White Horse Temple that day?"

"It's more than certain."

"Then what will it be like?"

"It must be something you can't imagine."

Li Gu'er got up again and said excitedly, "I really want to see it sooner."

Wang Hua smiled and didn't answer. Even Wang Hua couldn't figure out how long it would take to see it, let alone sooner.

After Li Gu'er went back, he reported the news to Li Xian, which not only aroused Li Xian's interest, but also aroused Webster's interest.In any case, their ideas are no higher than Li Guer's. If they don't need the imperial court's economy, but just make tripods, not dig the Grand Canal or build the Great Wall, how many craftsmen will be needed, hundreds or thousands? It's over the top.This is not a big pressure on the country's finances and people's livelihood. Who wouldn't want to have a false name, otherwise, so many emperors want to enshrine Zen, what are they doing?
If Wang Hua can accomplish this, it will be of greater significance than Feng Chan.

Li Xian turned his head and said to Webster, "Queen, it seems that this little guy has never been to the early court, nor has he served in the Zhaowen Hall?"

Up to now, Wang Hua has not shown any malice towards him. On the contrary, he kept a low profile and ignored Li Xian's imagination. Coupled with the kindness released this time, Li Xian was very satisfied.At least it is much better than Jinghui and the others being aggressive.

Wechsler also nodded with a smile.

Like Li Xian, because Wang Hua didn't show hostility towards them, Webster also didn't hold too much ill feeling towards Wang Hua.

Li Xian thought for a while, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Wang Hua's injury is almost healed, and I have ordered him to come into the palace. Oh, and by the way, let him bring that bagpipe."
Hearing that Li Xian asked Wang Hua to bring bagpipes into the palace, Li Gu'er giggled.

Li Xian sullenly said, "What are you laughing at, silly girl, can't I just listen to Wang Hua play a song?"

However, later historians also made records and analyzes on this matter. Compared with Wu Zetian, Li Xian was really far behind. For example, in this case, Wu Zetian also loved literature, music and art. A certain important minister in the court played a piece of music for her.

One leaf knows autumn, which shows Li Xian's mediocrity.

But neither of the two parties mattered.Wang Hua didn't think that playing a piece of music would kill him.He also doesn't think that the emperor will immediately become a fool when he has a favorite. As long as a few things are not too much, liking Yayue calligraphy and literature is a good liking, but there is a premise, don't be like Li Yu and Zhao Ji , In the end, even national affairs were delayed.

But Li Xian wanted to learn from Li Yu, but he didn't have that ability yet.Let him write when the spring flowers and autumn moons have passed, and how much do you know about the past?Even if he exerts his strength of breastfeeding, he will never be able to flash this inspiration.

Wang Hua entered the palace.

After saluting, Li Xian asked Wang Hua to sit down, and said, "Wang Hua, I also want to thank you for what you have done for me."

At this time, many people came to the palace, and Shangguan Xiaowan also came. After all, Li Gu'er played the bagpipe tune that Wang Hua played so well that it is only in the sky, but it is not in the world, and they all want to listen to it.

Hearing Li Xian's words, I thought it was Li Xian who said that Wang Hua sent troops to Luoyang. Although it was a bit dangerous to do so, if this case was opened, it would not be a good sign that no matter which general would send the army to Luoyang Chang'an in the future.But this time, because of Wang Hua's dispatch of troops, Li Xian quickly gathered back a lot of the power of the five kings, otherwise the court was almost completely controlled by Zhang Jianzhi and others.

Of course, this sentence is hard to explain.

But Wang Hua knew in his heart that not only that, but the most important thing was cotton.It was because of cotton that Wu Zetian saw that her son cared about the people of the country and achieved certain results, which strengthened her mentality of making Li Xian his successor.

This is the most important.

Not only that, but now that cotton has become popular, it has been of great help to relieve the pressure on the people of the Tang Dynasty and increase the income of the people to the treasury. Of course, the happiest families are the ones who benefit more from it.

Wang Hua leaned back and said, "Your Majesty, don't dare, this is what a courtier should do."

Li Xian obviously didn't want to say more about it, so he asked about the Jiuding, which also made everyone interested.Wang Hua talked about it for a while, and then said: "Its function is to consolidate the king's power, define the territory, promote education, instill righteousness, promote literature, and open up ideas."

Shangguan Xiaowan giggled and said, "Wang Xiaoer, no way, it's just a copper tripod."

For this young woman, Wang Hua couldn't say what he felt. It was more complicated than his opinion of Zhang Jianzhi. She was very beautiful. Even though she was in her thirties now, she still had the same charm as before. Compared with Princess Taiping, the two young women were both She is glamorous and charming, but Shangguan Xiaowan is a little slimmer, which is also in line with Wang Hua's aesthetic point of view.

Moreover, she is extremely talented and learned, she controls the world with her feet, and she has no name and internal knowledge. How can she do it without skills?
But she is also full of countless intrigues and tricks in her heart, not to mention her style, she is a young woman and she doesn't have a husband, how can she let her not touch sex?Besides, the current social atmosphere is like this, everyone doesn't care, and she is not alone.The main reason is her fickleness, which Wang Hua dislikes very much.

Wang Hua sighed: "Shangguan Zhaorong, although I never know what modesty is when I speak."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Wang Hua continued: "There have also been many mistakes, such as the disappearance of the little princess and the fourth sister, all related to my carelessness, and the knife on the Tianjin Bridge. Lie too much?"

It seems to be the same.

This made everyone more curious, Li Xian said: "I'm sure. But you also have to go to the Zhaowen Hall to report."

Wang Hua replied: "The minister listens to the order."

Isn't it just to read a book, or teach a noble kid, it's not a big problem, as long as you don't get involved in court disputes for the time being.

But Li Xian looked at the bagpipe in Wang Hua's hand, and he was embarrassed to say directly, you can play a song for me.

So he deliberately asked: "What is this?"

Li Bao'er smiled and bent over again, Li Xian was too fake this time.

Wang Hua replied: "This is bagpipe, Your Majesty, let me play a song for you."

However, he sighed in his heart, as an elder, Li Xian might be an amiable elder, but as an emperor, this is not very good.There is another very old emperor in history, Song Renzong. However, this emperor was very wise and good-natured, but his wisdom followed him, so no courtiers and relatives despised him.

But what wisdom can Li Xian have?Very doubtful.

He played the song "Southern Wind" again.

A beautiful piece of music will touch many people, especially those who know something about music.

After Wang Hua finished playing, everyone remained silent for a long time in that kind of pure realm and couldn't move themselves.

It took a long time for Shangguan Xiaowan to speak: "Wang Hua, can you teach me how to play this piece?"

Wang Hua laughed, but didn't answer. It's not easy to learn bagpipes, and I don't have the time to teach her.Besides, if you get too close to her, it will make her two powerful love rivals jealous, and it's not something you can afford.

Li Gu'er explained to Wang Hua in Shangguan Xiaowan's ear. She also learned it for a long time. Wang Hua taught her to do her best, but she still can't master it, otherwise she would play this piece in front of her father. What a long face.

Shangguan Xiaowan knew about Li Guer's talent, so she was a little disappointed, and asked: "Then Wang Hua, can you change it to play Yaoqin?"

"I'm afraid I can't," Wang Hua shook his head. Some pieces can be played with multiple instruments. "Guangling San", if you play it on the piano, you will either change it beyond recognition, or don't expect to play that flavor at all.

Seeing her disappointed face, Wang Hua laughed again, and said, "Zhaorong, there are many beautiful things in the world, and not one person can grasp them all. Sometimes it is a blessing to be able to hear and see." thing."

"So, you have brought us happiness?" Shangguan Xiaowan said with a smile.

In fact, Wang Hua has always been worried about Wu Yanxiu. This is not necessary. It is better to worry about others, or Li Guer himself, Wu Yanxiu's appearance, and the ability to dance Hu dance. Wang Hua has brought these for more than 1000 years, from China to all over the world. Compared with his knowledge and talents, Wu Yanxiu is nothing.

Wang Hua did not have this self-awareness, but he chose seven surnames and ten families. It looks like a praying mantis is a car, but in fact this mantis is a bug king from an alien planet. This car is not big enough for one of its claws, and it is quite bullying. It was Wang Hua who bullied others.

Not only Li Gu'er, but also Shangguan Xiaowan, if Wang Hua wanted to hook her hands, maybe Shangguan Xiaowan would have sex with Wang Hua right away.For a talented woman, Wang Hua's talent and learning are even more attractive to her.

Wang Hua stood up, bowed and said, "It's my duty to bring happiness to Your Majesty, Queen, Princess and Zhao Rong."

Several people laughed happily.

But with this smile, he also swallowed his grievances, and Li Xian said: "Wang Hua, do you still remember what my mother said about you? Don't you want to help me?"

Wang Hua looked blankly at the west, where is Shangyang Palace.

Li Xian couldn't bear it, and said: "How about this, you go to Zhaowen Hall to report first, and then receive my order to go to Shangyang Palace to visit the Great Sage Emperor."

Now the Scarlet Camp is far away from Luoyang, so Li Xian gave Wang Hua the rights.

Wang Hua knelt down and said, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty."

Then he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I really need to take a rest due to my injuries during this period. But I don't have to be a minister to hold an important position in the court in order to serve your Majesty and the court. Hall, but leading the soldiers of the Blood Character Battalion has also made some contributions, which is no less than the role in the court. Although the minister does not hold important positions, it is the same. Don't worry, if Jiuding succeeds, than the minister's role in the court The effect will only be greater, not smaller. But this effect will take a long time to be seen."

Since Wang Hua said so, Li Xian was helpless.He had no choice but to let him leave the palace and go to Zhaowen Pavilion.But on the other hand, this also shows that Wang Hua's political ambitions are not great, and there is no threat to him.

Seeing Wang Hua coming, the few remaining bachelors and some students in Zhaowen Hall were very happy.Only the museum owner surnamed Gu was not happy, he said to Wang Hua: "Scholar Wang, it's just right that you are here, you should come to teach today."

Wang Hua looked at the owner of the ancient museum, what is he doing?I didn't offend you either.But let’s go to class, Wang Hua walked to a study room in Zhaowen Hall, and there was a group of little kids inside, and the little kids were arguing. It’s very strange, mainly because there are many rumors about Wang Hua among the people, and the conspiracy of adults has nothing to do with them. Wang Hua is theirs. The idol in most hearts.

Wang Hua coughed, signaling them to be quiet, and started his journey as a teacher for the first time in this world.
