In a blink of an eye, it was almost time to leave for Beijing, and Li Yuanying's "Han Zi's Fables" was also printed. Before that, Li Yuanying had already received the sample booklet and was very satisfied with the finished product.
Li Chunfeng was also very satisfied, after all, he was a hands-on person, and Li Yuanying was very happy to let him do experiments with money. Seeing one hundred copies of "Han Zi's Fables" neatly stacked together, Li Chunfeng felt full of accomplishment, and immediately asked the people below to notify Li Yuanying.
It was the first time Li Yuanying produced a book, so he was naturally very proud. He borrowed a large number of palace people to help him move the books, and the team lined up in a mighty long line. His Majesty Li Er had lent him the money, and Li Yuanying was the first to send it to His Majesty Li Er. When he delivered the books, he saw that Changsun Wuji and the others were all there, so he sent them one by one.
After delivering them, Li Yuanying found that his books were short of about ten books. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Why do you have so many ministers trusted by the emperor, and you call so many people to discuss matters every day!
After Li Yuanying delivered His Majesty Li Er, he naturally distributed it to his friends. Li Zhi had heard about Li Yuanying's book printing for a long time, but his son and the others were kept in the dark. Seeing Li Yuanying conjure up a book, they were all surprised and volunteered to help deliver the book for Li Yuanying.
All of a sudden, the princes and daughters got Li Yuanying's "great work" in their hands.
Li Yuanying went to give it to Kong Yingda and the others.
After a few rounds, there are not many books left in the hundred books!
Li Yuanying thought that he would take it back to Liu Baolin and the others, so he asked Dai Ting to put away the rest of the books and never give them to anyone else!
When Dai Ting was about to seal the book, Li Yuanying remembered that he had forgotten about Wei Shu, so he quickly took out another copy, and went to Wei Zheng's house to give it to Wei Shu himself.
Wei Shu had counted the time and waited for the book to be printed, and was very happy to see that Li Yuanying delivered it in person. She put the book away with great care, and then asked Li Yuanying what to do with the sunflower seeds she had collected at home, and whether she should just give him a piece of the sunflower seeds. Although her grandfather also owned a farm, her grandfather had many children, which were not her parents' exclusive private property. She couldn't let the farm grow sunflowers instead of grain.
At that time, Li Yuanying just wanted to anger His Majesty Li Er, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. He said: "In this case, you keep some for yourself, and give me the rest, and I will ask Xiao Yi to plant it for you. After the harvest, we will sell it for some money!"
Li Yuanying spent a lot of money printing a book, and now thinking about setting up a big academy in the future, he finally had the idea of finding a way to make money. Since Sister Shu believes in him and wants to hand over the sunflower seeds to him to plant, Li Yuanying will certainly not disappoint her trust!
Wei Shu didn't think how much the seeds could be sold for, but hearing Li Yuanying's bright eyes said that this would be the working capital of his big academy in the future, Wei Shu didn't dampen his enthusiasm.
Wei Shu asked curiously: "You said that your academy can allow everyone who wants to study in the world to study, so can your academy allow girls to study?"
Li Yuanying was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question.
Li Yuanying asked strangely: "Can't girls read? Girls, they can read!" After counting his own house, he then counted other houses, "Sister Shu, you also read, and your handwriting is so good!"
Wei Shu said: "There is no school that recruits girls." They just took advantage of their backgrounds to have the opportunity to read and write.
Li Yuanying said: "Then in my future college, girls can come to study!" He warmly invited Wei Shu, "After the college opens, you will be the first female student!"
Wei Shu agreed without thinking about it: "Okay!" After she agreed, she said, "Then you should open the academy as soon as possible, or I will become an old student!"
Li Yuanying was amused by the word "old student", and was overjoyed.
After returning, he also talked about this with Li Zhi, saying that in order not to delay his sister's study, he had to get ready quickly and strive to open the academy as soon as he arrived in the fief.
Li Zhi was speechless for a while: "It's not certain when you will be able to go to the fief, don't tell others all day long that you are going to build an academy."
Li Yuanying felt that he was already a scholar, and he criticized Li Zhi solemnly: "A man has no long-term worries, but he must have near-term worries!" Step guys are totally different!
Li Zhi shut up.
He remembered that when Li Yuanying said that he wanted to print a book, many people were waiting to see the joke, either thinking that it was impossible for him to print it, or that he could not write a book at all. As a result, Li Yuanying arranged things in one go, and now they really got the book! Although the content of the book is superficial, with many pictures and few words, it cannot be regarded as the establishment of a sect or a book. But if you open it and read it, you will feel that there is a strange magic that attracts you to look down, and you will not stop until you read the whole book!
Ordinary people would never spend money on such things, but Li Yuanying is not an ordinary person! He really wants to spend money to set up an academy, maybe he can make it happen.
Li Yuanying saw Li Zhi's face of thinking, sat down and urged Li Zhi to come while the iron was hot: "I don't think you should stay in the capital like your fourth brother. Then we will go to the fief to play together. I will open a academy, and you will open it An academy, when the time comes, we will let the students from the academy compete with each other and compete with each other every year, isn’t it great? If you’re afraid that you don’t have enough money, I’ll lend it to you!”
Li Zhidao: "Do you think it's so easy to run an academy? Not only do you have to be rich, you also have to have a famous teacher in charge, otherwise why don't other people go elsewhere and come to you to waste their time!"
Li Yuanying was full of confidence, and said to Li Zhi: "I have already discussed this with the teacher, and he said that he will lend me his students! Then I will borrow some people from Lao Wei and the others, and it will definitely work!"
Li Zhi didn't expect Li Yuanying to even solve this problem. He was a little puzzled: "Which teacher? Kong Jijiu?"
Li Yuanying said: "That's not true, it's Old Scholar Xiao."
Li Zhi naturally knew about Xiao Deyan. Xiao Deyan was eighty-two years old this year, so he could be considered a super-senior person. To be able to survive three dynasties and live to this age safely must be quite capable! Li Zhi was a little dazed: "Isn't the old scholar Xiao helping the fourth brother with his books? How did he become your teacher?"
Li Yuanying said: "You are so stupid. Look at the sage Kong. If someone teaches him a word, he can call others a 'one-character teacher'. I have asked the old scholar Xiao so many times, no matter how many times he counts more than one." Why can’t you call me a teacher? So, reading is like studying hard, and you can’t use what you have learned flexibly!”
Li Zhi was silent for a while.
If Confucius knew that you were using it so flexibly, he would definitely want to kill you, right
…
After everything was packed up and down, Yu Jia rushed back to the capital before winter came. Li Yuanying squeezed into another car with his little friends, and told Sizi and the others the "Han Zi's Fables" that hadn't been drawn in the book.
Even though Li Yuanying only gave away less than a hundred copies of the book, this book has caused quite a stir recently: first of all, Li Yuanying distributed the book to either princes or daughters, or high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Interesting, they gathered together to discuss; as for the elders such as Changsun Wuji, although they were not very interested in the books read by children, they found it quite educational after reading them, so they showed them to the children at home. .
Books these days don’t pay attention to being interesting, and it’s good to have something for you to read. How can you take care of whether your children understand or find it boring? Therefore, this "Han Zi's Fables" suddenly gained a sense of presence among the young group of people. Everyone was discussing all kinds of interesting stories in it, and they were going to bring it back to the capital and those who had no chance to see it. The book people show off.
Even children who had no chance to get "Han Zi's Fables" cried and begged others to lend them.
The image of the newly-promoted His Royal Highness King Teng has become taller in everyone's minds: I thought this guy would only cause trouble, but I didn't expect that he could actually make a book by himself! And the appearance of this book looks very fresh, you can turn down page by page!
It was already October when Yu Jia returned to the capital, Li Yuanying went to see Liu Baolin first, and was hugged by Liu Baolin, looking left and right, for fear that he would become hungry and thin if he was not used to eating in Jiucheng Palace. Li Yuanying let her finish reading, and showed Liu Baolin the "Han Zi's Fables" that he kept specially.
Liu Baolin happily took the book and read it.
Li Yuanying was about to ask someone to share the rest of the books when he heard someone calling outside: "Li Yuanying, come out, Li Yuanying, come out!"
When Li Yuanying heard this, it wasn't Gao Yang! He ran out to see that Gao Yang, who was wearing a riding uniform, still had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his fair cheeks were flushed, it was obvious that he was still playing polo just now.
Seeing Gao Yang's angry face, Li Yuanying was innocent: "What's wrong?"
Gao Yang rushed up, poked Li Yuanying's chest with the whip handle, and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? You know that I'm so sad that I can't go to Jiucheng Palace because of illness, and you still write to me all day long to tell me what's wrong with you!" What, how much fun you had! How could you do this, you are so mad at me!!!”
Li Yuanying felt that Gao Yang was too unreasonable, and he retorted: "I'm sharing fun things with you, how can you be angry with me? You should be angry if I don't write to you!"
Gao Yang thought about it, and felt that what Li Yuanying said seemed to make sense. If Li Yuanying didn't write to her, she would be even more unhappy!
Li Yuanying saw that Gao Yang was lost in thought, and said firmly: "So, you girls are like this, you can't do this, you can't do that, you don't know how to do it!"
Gao Yang still felt that Li Yuanying was an asshole: "Then you can't show off how happy you are eating, drinking and having fun every day."
Li Yuanying ran back to the house and took out a copy of "Han Zi's Fables": "This is a book drawn by me, it's amazing! This one is for you!"
Gao Yang said: "You clearly know that I don't like reading books. Besides, can books still be drawn?"
Li Yuanying said: "Of course it can!" He opened it to Gao Yang to read the contents, and Gao Yang was attracted after just one glance.
Gao Yang snatched "Hanzi's Fables" and decided to forgive Li Yuanying reluctantly.
After sending away Gao Yang who couldn't wait to go back to watch "Han Zi's Fables", Li Yuanying began to think about what to do next.
Li Yuanying is now King Teng, he can lead people in and out of the palace gate by himself, and he can go outside to play from time to time in the future. Since he has the great ideal of building a large academy, he definitely won't wait until the situation is imminent to start it in a hurry. Li Yuanying decided to make some preliminary preparations first!
For example, collect some books, say to collect some talents.
Li Yuanying asked Dai Ting to call Dong Xiaoyi.
After all the people were gathered, Li Yuanying began to explain the task: Dong Xiaoyi led people to inspect the farms under his name one by one to see which farm was suitable for transformation into a "sunflower garden". This sunflower garden was very useful to him and no mistakes could be made; Ting is in charge of finding a good house with a pavement in the city. It should be large and bright, and the whole house should be remodeled according to his requirements. , they may have to print books in the future, it is too bad to always buy paper!
The two took orders, and Li Yuanying hid in the house all day and began to hide from the winter. The only difference from before was that he often asked people to bring some books to read.
Li Yuanying was leisurely studying on the couch, but His Majesty Li Er and the others quickly got busy.
The reason is that something happened in Gaochang.
Gaochang is located in the area of the Turpan Basin, which is an important gateway to the Western Regions, that is to say, all parties must pass through this place when conducting trade.
As a small country with a weak military force, Gaochang made the same choice as other small partners: Sui was attached to Sui when it was established, and Tang was attached to Tang after it was established, just to find a way out in the cracks.
It's a pity that this year Gaochang began flirting with the Western Turks, and wanted to jointly engage in another nearby place. That place was also attached to Datang. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately sent envoys to ask for help. Chaozhong dug up another old account and found that Gao Chang hadn't come to pay tribute for several years!
At that time, His Majesty Li Er decided to send people over to ask questions first, but the Lord Gaochang did not come to plead guilty until November.
His Majesty Li Er is a very face-saving person. After thinking about it, Gao Chang obviously felt that the Tang Dynasty was established at the beginning, and its national power was weaker than that of the Sui Dynasty; People reprimanded without pain!
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He was always worried that the national power of the Tang Dynasty could not catch up with the Sui Dynasty. Now a little Gaochang dared to despise the Tang Dynasty!
His Majesty Li Er summoned his confidants to discuss the matter, and he expressed only one meaning: hit, hit me hard! No matter how difficult it is, if you hit it until Gaochang can't turn over, you must let other attached countries see what it means to betray Datang!
Although some people in the DPRK wanted to dissuade them, they finally reached a consensus: Gaochang has made a decision, and it must be done quickly, it is best to leave immediately!
Li Yuanying heard that the imperial court was going to fight, and the fight was still in Gaochang, so he held a small meeting with his friends.
The topic of discussion is: Where is Gaochang? Is it far? is it fun? What to eat
Li Zhi took out an inaccurate hand-drawn map and pointed out to Li Yuanying the location of Gaochang, and also introduced the superiority of this geographical location to Li Yuanying.
Gao Yang responded positively to what he remembered: "Gao Chang seems to be able to pay tribute wine, sweet, not intoxicating, and delicious."
Li Yuanying came to a conclusion: "This is a place with wine!" He enthusiastically put forward his own idea, "I don't know who the emperor brother will send, if we recognize him, we can ask him to bring back some more!"
Li Zhi said angrily: "Do you think war is just for fun? I can even bring you wine!"
When Li Yuanying thought about it, he was right, how could he ask other people's army to carry things, it's not decent! He thought for a while, and secretly conspired with his friends: "I'm going to do something big, do you want to join? Just send some people out, and I'll take care of the rest!"
The author has something to say:
His Majesty Li Er: Ha Chirp!
His Majesty Li Er: I always feel that something bad is about to happen!
