Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

The news that Li Yuanying and others are going to enter the Imperial College has spread like wildfire.

Many people are very happy. After all, instead of letting Li Yuanying go outside, it is better to plug him into the Imperial Prison and strictly discipline him. Otherwise, let him run to your Majesty Li Er every day, who knows what else he will make?

The happiest one was naturally Li Tai. During the New Year, he still happily congratulated Li Yuanying at the palace banquet for entering the Imperial College.

Li Yuanying was also very happy. He felt that Li Tai could finally speak human language, and immediately took Li Tai by the hand and discussed with Li Tai: "Qingque, your "Kuo Ge Zhi" is so beautiful, I just want to keep it. Brother Huang borrowed two volumes from me, and he was shocked! I didn’t expect you to write such a good book. Are you interested in printing it? The new paper made by Deng Qing is lighter and thinner than the previous paper. Less, you can make your "Kuo Di Zhi" into a book like "Han Zi's Fables", and then you can print a lot of it for the people of the world to read!"

Li Tai didn't expect that his cynicism would make Li Yuanying say such a thing. The flesh on his face trembled, and he felt that Li Yuanying was really powerless even for mockery, and he didn't answer the conversation as you expected!

Li Tai said, "This is not necessary, right?"

Li Yuanying actively lobbied: "What I want is cheap, and I have a ready-made engraving master on hand. I will be able to make the book for you soon. I don’t want your money, so I will put a batch of them in the library. , So that scholars all over the world will also understand the local customs and customs. In the future, if they become officials in the dynasty and are assigned to various places to serve as county magistrates, they will not be blinded!"

Li Tai felt a little moved when Li Yuanying said this. He has read Li Yuanying's "Fables of Han Zi". Although the writing is a little rough, it is really convenient to read. You can take it with you and share it with your friends.

Since walking the book and talking about this path, who doesn't want to gain a good reputation in Shilin? Although Li Tai was very moved, he still wanted to decline: "Why are you so embarrassed to make you spend money on Uncle Yao? Or else, you lend me someone and sell me some new papers. After the Topography is printed, send a batch to the library."

Li Yuanying didn’t like to rush to give money to people. Hearing Li Tai said in a convenient way: "Okay, I say hello to Xiao Li. You can prepare the manuscript and send it to Xiao Li. Li calculates how much it will cost you, so you can directly give the money to Xiao Li."

Li Tai nodded: "The "Kuo Di Zhi" has been dedicated to the emperor father, I have to ask the emperor father what he meant."

What is the meaning of His Majesty Li Er, of course, agreed to print a batch of "Kuo Ge Zhi" for scholars of the world to read. He didn't need Li Yuanying and Li Tai to pay for it. It would be better to go directly to the publicly funded printing process. The price of paper was low, which not only made it affordable for many scholars, but also enriched the originally scarce book resources.

Originally all kinds of books were extremely expensive, and only aristocratic families could afford them. Now the cost is low. You may be able to buy them if you save a few meals. There are more people who can afford books! This point may not be important to Chang'an scholars who own libraries, but it is different for scholars in other places!

This is also the reason why His Majesty Li Er agreed to try to print "Kuo Ge Zhi".

If this book printing method is really convenient and cheap, the court can let go and print more books in the future!

Most scholars came from aristocratic families. This has always been the heart of His Majesty Li Er. Their Li family was also born in the Guanlong family. Most of the people who rose up in the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty were the "aristocratic families" with talents and military power.

Because of this, he ordered Fang Xuanling to abolish a large number of officials after he succeeded. At one time, there were only more than 600 people left in the huge court center, and then he slowly re-added from the imperial examination and recommendations from various parties. Suitable talents hope to dilute the near-monopoly power in the hands of some aristocratic families.

If everyone in the world can afford books and paper, the barriers to reading will be greatly reduced. In time, the imperial court will flood in with many humble children of poor backgrounds!

Maybe in the future these poor families will become a new family, but before then they can continue to attack the original family. When they gradually solidify and become stronger, they will be challenged by latecomers. Only by not letting the opportunity of studying be monopolized by the noble family members, will the Li Tang imperial family not fall into the hands of certain people for a long time.

Li Yuanying didn't think about it as much as his Majesty Li Er. He heard his Majesty Li Er agree, glanced at Li Tai, and remembered another thing: "There is another thing, I don't know if Cheng Qian has told you!"

His Majesty Li Er stared at him and motioned to him to talk.

Li Yuanying said: "Xiang'er is going to be enlightened. I have recommended a suitable teacher to Cheng Qian. Did you mention Cheng Qian and the emperor?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Not yet. Who do you think is better?"

Li Tai has an ominous premonition.

Li Yuanying said: "It's not that I boast. Most of the people who are suitable to be Xianger teachers in North Korea teach us. I think the best one is Xiao Shi. Although Xiao Shi is old, he is still healthy. I think Xiao Teacher is the most suitable! Take a look, you asked Master Xiao to teach pheasant slaves "The Book of Filial Piety", pheasant slaves look at how filial piety is? You look at me again, I didn’t like to read before, and I consulted Master Xiao several times. I felt the interest of reading. Therefore, I think it is most suitable for Master Xiao to teach Xianger!"

The "Master Xiao" mentioned by Li Yuanying is naturally Xiao Deyan Xiao's old bachelor.

Li Tai knew that Li Yuanying was thinking about Xiao Deyan, but he didn't expect that after so long, Li Yuanying hadn't given up on it. This time he actually used Li Xiang as a raft to help Li Chengqian begging for others!

Li Tai wanted to bite Li Yuanying to death.

Li Yuanying noticed Li Tai's angry gaze, and she took Li Tai's hand and said, "Qingque, your "Kuo Gezhi" has also been edited. Wouldn't it be reluctant to let people go? Hey, I can't bear to ask me, but Xin The child is still young, so I don’t need Master Xiao for the time being. You first let Master Xiao come out to Xiang’er. When Xin’er reaches the age of enlightenment, you will send Xin’er to the palace to study with Xiang’er. Then they Not only a cousin, but also a mentor, the more you have a relationship, the better you get along with, and it’s great!"

His Majesty Li Er felt that Li Yuanying's proposal was very reasonable, and nodded to the matter. Once he was ill, he liked his sons and grandchildren, brothers, friends, and kindness. What Li Yuanying asked Li Xiang and them to say when they celebrated his birthday together made sense. They belonged to Li Tang's family. stable?

What else could Li Tai say, he could only suffocate his breath and accept it, wishing to throw away Li Yuanying's hand on the spot.

Li Yuanying consciously finished two good things, so she stopped chattering with them, and happily took the children to play. On the first day of the Spring Festival, Chang'an had a heavy snow break, and it was covered in silver everywhere, and it was very beautiful.

Li Yuanying took Sizi and the others to the sunflower garden to play, climbed up the tall tree house to play, eat delicious roasted whole lamb, and slid along the clear mountain road with a bunch of small carrot heads. sky.

Li Yuanying didn't rest in the evening, and after having dinner with Liu Baolin, he slipped out of the palace with his friends. There was no curfew on the night of the Spring Festival. They watched lantern riddles all the way, played from the West Market to the East Market, and went back to the palace before the gate was locked.

When I returned, Si Zi was too sleepy, but she still held Li Yuanying's hand reluctantly and said, "Uncle Yao, you are going to study at the Imperial College tomorrow. Have we not seen each other for a long time?"

Li Yuanying is full of confidence: "No, I must find a chance to come back and show you guys!"

Only after getting Li Yuanying's guarantee, did they go back to bed at ease. They still complained about Li Er's Majesty Li Yuanying's arranging Li Yuanying to the Imperial College.

Early the next morning, before Li Yuanying woke up, Li Zhi came over and dragged him out of bed. Today they are moving into the Imperial College, but they can't be late the first day! Li Yuanying heard Liu Baolin talk a lot about the Imperial Prison these days. She yawned and sat up and asked Li Zhi: "Are you going to wear your own clothes? Listen to my mother, the Imperial Prison is not allowed to take people in to serve!"

Li Zhi was speechless for a while: "Who knows how to wear clothes?" Although he was served by people since he was a child, he is not so stupid that he can't even wear clothes!

Li Yuanying was surprised: "Do you actually know it? I didn't know how to do it a year ago, but I have learned it now!" His tone was quite proud, listening to be quite proud of his intelligence.

Li Zhi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and took Li Yuanying out of the box to see what Liu Baolin had packed for him, and said: "The clothes for the Imperial College are uniformly distributed. You can bring some underwear. What else do you bring? So many clothes. It’s enough for you to wear it for a month without repeating it."

Li Yuanying said: "My mother said that the spring is rainy. If the clothes issued by the Imperial College are soaked, there should be no clothes to be replaced?" Li Yuanying said naturally, "It's not much. The next day of rest is still far away, of course you have to prepare. Enough for a month."

Li Zhidao: "You only wear these clothes once?"

Li Yuanying looked at him with an expression of "what's wrong?" Do you still need to wash clothes?

Li Zhi: "..."

Li Yuanying planned very well: "I don't waste it. Everyone can wear these clothes prepared by my mother. I will give them to others once I wear them. It is fine for them to wear them themselves, or for the younger brothers and sisters at home. No one wants to wash clothes that are never given for nothing."

Li Zhi had the final say, even if Li Yuanying stayed in the Imperial Prison for a year, he would only have three hundred sets of clothes. This small amount of money is nothing to Li Yuanying. Since this is the case, Li Zhi said nothing. Anyway, he doesn't quite believe that Li Yuanying can read it for a year!

Li Zhi no longer questioned Li Yuanying's dozen or so boxes, and went to pick up Chengyang with Li Yuanying to bid farewell to His Majesty Li Er, and reported to the Imperial College with the mighty team of carrying boxes.

When they arrived at the place, Li Yuanying was dumbfounded. The place where they lived was too small. The couch was still connected to the Chase shop, the kind where a dozen people slept in one room, and there was a place for him to put more than a dozen large boxes.

Li Yuanying went to find the person responsible for relocating them and talked about it. She wanted to ask for a vacant room to put the cages, but the other party said coldly and ruthlessly that they would be taken back wherever they were carried, and there was no need to do anything special.

This was something Liu Baolin had prepared for a long time. How could Li Yuanying send it back? He thought for a while and asked someone to find a corner outside the cell to shelter the box from the wind and rain, and then go out when he wants to use it. Access is. The Imperial College is full of scholars with great future, and they can't come and go at will, and they will never steal all these worthless clothes and pens.

Li Yuanying's mighty cage brigade has aroused the attention of many people, and many people stopped talking along the way. When Li Yuanying was formally arranged to enter the Chase shop, the other talents realized that this little demon king really wanted to study with them!

Tang Jing has been in the Imperial College for more than a year. He reads very well and is very popular with masters. He knew that Li Yuanying and Di Renjie had both been admitted, he was overjoyed, waiting for them to come early. It was Kong Yingda's intention to do this. Li Zhi and the others were all arranged in different dormitories. Li Yuanying lived in the same room as Tang Huang.

When Tang Jing got the news, he changed the bed with someone, and let Li Yuanying sleep next to him, and he usually took care of him. Li Yuanying usually slept directly after others made the bed. The first time I saw a bare bed, she was very excited and enthusiastically declined Tang Jing’s proposal to help him make the bed. Under Tang Jing’s guidance, she started making the bed for the first time in her life. Great responsibility.

Li Yuanying unfolded the warm and warm bedding, and arranged the small pillows she had brought. She proudly said to Tang Jing, "Making the bed is not difficult at all, and I will do it without you teaching me next time. !"

Before Tang Jing answered, someone walked in and laughed at him: "You are so proud of making a bed. People who don't know think you have done something great!"

The author has something to say:

The little prince is triumphant: I will get dressed!

Pheasant slave:...

The little prince is triumphant: I will make the bed!

Tang Jing:...
