Kou Ji felt the eager gaze of the craftsmen, and knew what the craftsmen thought.
He has a lot of craftsmanship in his hand that can hold great masters, but he doesn't intend to pass it on to these people for the time being.
After sharply rejecting Bi Sheng's salute to himself, Kou Ji said to the craftsmen who were refusing to walk around him: "I still have some crafts in my hands, but these crafts require steel support. You can't make steel. , Don't even want to spy on my craft.
Fuck off! "
Kou Jishun made a promise to the craftsmen and sent them away cursingly.
The craftsmen did not get annoyed by his abuse, but went back to refining steel with joy one by one.
Kou Ji urged the craftsman leader to prepare a small courtyard for Bi Sheng alone, so that Bi Sheng could continue to study printing.
The craftsman leader gave a full promise.
Kou Ji stepped away from the yard where the craftsmen were, and just walked out of the moon gate of the yard, and ran into Xiang Yan who hurried over.
Xiang Yan raised the corner of her skirt, staring at Kou Ji, and hurriedly asked, "Is the person stealing the colorful ink caught?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Xiang Yan said with a sullen expression: "The servant who knows nothing about life and death did it? Concubine should teach him the rules."
Xiang Yan's voice fell to the ground, and her maid, Chun'er, took out a cane from behind and shook it vigorously.
Kou Ji stopped Xiang Yan who was about to break into the courtyard where the craftsmen were, and persuaded him: "It's impossible to beat..."
Xiang Yan questioned Kou Ji in astonishment, "Why can't I fight? The concubine, the mistress, can't teach the servants of the mansion?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "You, the mistress, can naturally teach the servants of the mansion, but Bi Sheng is no longer a servant of the mansion now."
"Exited?"
Xiang Yan asked in a daze.
Without waiting for Kou Ji's answer, she said angrily: "Even if you leave your nationality, how can I bully Kou Mansion who wants to bully?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I'm out of my country. It's that Bi Sheng has been promoted to my Kou Mansion's doorman."
Xiang Yan twisted his brows and questioned: "The gatekeeper is something from the Qin and Han dynasties. There is no such thing as a gatekeeper now. Even if you want to make a special case in the mansion and restore the old system of the Qin and Han dynasties, you should not be promoted to a thief. "
Kou Ji said earnestly: "Whoever thief steals is not a thief, I will not mention it later. Not only can you not mention that he is a thief, you have to help him become famous."
Xiang Yan was taken aback, thought about it, and said in amazement, "What has he done?"
"He has become a god..."
"God?"
"The Craftsman God!"
Kou Ji said two words loudly, took out the article printed by Bi Sheng from his cuff, and handed it to Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan had taken the article and looked confused.
She glanced at the article and found that the printing method was a bit different, but she didn't care, but looked at the article carefully.
Then he raised his head and asked with a blank face: "This is just an ordinary article written by an ordinary scholar. The essay is three points worse than a concubine. What's so special?"
Kou Ji's face turned dark, and he reminded in a deep voice: "Look at the printing..."
Xiang Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head to continue watching.
At a glance, the difference was immediately seen.
"This... is not an ordinary engraving technique?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain to Xiang Yan.
After pondering for a while, he let the moon gate open in the courtyard where the craftsmen were, and said, "Go in and see by yourself, but don't hurt Bi Sheng."
Xiang Yan stared: "If he really contributes to the mansion, the concubine body will not hurt him. But if he doesn't make much contribution to the mansion, the concubine body will definitely hold him accountable for stealing."
Kou Ji had no words.
Xiang Yan suspiciously took Chun'er into the yard where the craftsmen were.
Kou Ji returned to the Sijun Garden with his hands on his back.
After entering the study, Kou Ji took a book about poetry analysis from the collection brought by Xiang Yan, and opened it for reading.
Tomorrow he will attend the deer banquet in Jinmingchi.
According to the past situation, the students in the Qiuwei Collection came to the Luming Banquet, and they had to compose poems and pretend to be forced.
He needs to learn some knowledge of poetry parsing.
Avoid Luming banquets. When students ask him to evaluate poems, what he said is wrong, which makes people laugh.
Kou Ji turned two pages of the book in his hand, and Xiang Yan rushed into the study like a gust of wind.
She saw Kou Ji and exclaimed: "Msang Gong, there is a saint in the mansion."
Kou Ji put down the book in his hand and said dumbfounded: "What saint, just talk nonsense."
Xiang Yan hurriedly walked in front of Kou Ji and said in shock: "The concubine body is not nonsense. Bi Sheng uses movable type to do printing, which is much better than the original engraving. If this spreads, the world will Scholars should not treat Bi Sheng as a saint.
Craftsmen are likely to worship Bi Sheng as the ancestor.
Such a character comes from our Kou Mansion, and our Kou Mansion will follow suit. "
When Kou Ji heard Xiang Yan's words, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
According to historical records, after Bi Sheng created movable type printing, he did not immediately become famous, and no one cared about him.
It was after his death that the scholars realized the benefits of movable type printing, and this began to make him famous.
In other words, if movable type printing cannot be spread, Bi Sheng will not be famous, and the Kou Mansion will not be able to follow suit.
The reason why Kou Ji helped Bi Sheng brag and helped Bi Sheng elevate his status was because of his creation of movable type printing, and didn't want to get in touch with him.
Now that Xiang Yan mentioned it, Kou Ji had some thoughts.
Helping Bi Sheng to become famous, let the people of the world quickly realize that not only can Bi Sheng benefit from movable type printing, but the Kou Mansion will also benefit from it. The people of the world can also benefit from it.
With this thought in mind, Kou Ji smiled and said to Xiang Yan: "Since Madam respects Bi Sheng so much and thinks that our Kou Mansion can follow Bi Sheng, how about you help Bi Sheng become famous?"
Upon hearing Kou Ji's words, Xiang Yan immediately understood Kou Ji's thoughts.
She also knew that no matter how great a person is, no matter how high a skill is, it is useless.
It needs to be flattered to be worth a hundred times.
Xiang Yan thought for a while and suggested: "I'm in another courtyard outside the city, holding a poetry meeting?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head, "Kou Mansion has a few other courtyards outside the city, but most of them have fallen into disrepair for a long time and are not needed."
Xiang Yan thought about it again, and said, "The concubine tells a few close friends in her boudoir that they can help Bi Sheng to become famous when they participate in the poem meeting?"
Kou Ji still shook his head.
Xiang Yan sighed, "What should I do?"
Kou Ji pondered for a while and had a countermeasure.
He asked: "You send someone to the Vientiane Building and ask Zhang Cheng to help sell Bi Shengchuang's printing technique, and mark it at a low price of 10,000 yuan."
Xiang Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, and exclaimed: "Who will buy ten million coins? I can't sell it at all."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I also know that it can't be sold. I just want to use this to make the name of the printing technology created by Bi Sheng famous."
Xiang Yan blinked, thinking about Kou Ji's intentions.
After a while, she said with bright eyes: "The concubine understands the intentions of the mate. With the current status and credibility of the Vientiane House, they sold a 10,000 yuan worth of things out, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Bianjing.
Some people can't bear it naturally and will dig deep into the printing technique created by Bi Sheng.
When the time comes, the concubine will send someone to spread some printed things, and then reveal some of the benefits of printing.
Bi Sheng will be famous. "
Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "Since you understand my intentions, then go ahead and do it."
Xiang Yan smiled brilliantly, and turned around to leave the study to build momentum for movable type printing.
When I walked to the door of the room, I seemed to think of something. I took a pause and turned around and asked: "Sang Gong, Bi Sheng said, he can create printing. You can't do it without Xiang Gong. I would like to ask you to give it to printing. first name."
Kou Ji blurted out without even thinking about it.
"Typography… "
Xiang Yan was taken aback for a moment, recalled the printing process of Bi Sheng, and smiled: "It's also appropriate."
After dismissing Xiang Yan, Kou Ji read in the bookstore alone.
Xiang Yan left Kou Ji's study and immediately sent someone to the Vientiane Building to pass a message to Zhang Cheng.
In the evening.
When the people in the city of Bianjing were busy discussing what happened at the gate of the Gongyuan of Kaifeng Mansion.
There was news from the Vientiane House that someone was going to sell a craft worth 10,000 guan.
For an instant.
Bianjing City was a sensation again.
A craft worth 10,000 yuan
What kind of craft is that
The official treasure seal, I'm afraid it's not worth so much money, right
Some business people with identity backgrounds immediately rushed into the Vientiane Building to inquire about the news.
It's just that Vientiane went upstairs to the shopkeeper and down to the man. No one was willing to disclose the news.
The businessmen scratched their heads anxiously and refused to leave Vientiane Tower.
The people didn't get the news, and they couldn't fall asleep in their hearts.
Since then, some people began to spread rumors.
Some people say that what the Vientiane Tower has released is false news.
It is also said that the craftsmanship in the Vientiane Building, which is worth 10,000 yuan, is a flying bird technique created by the former Master Lu Pan.
The opinions were varied, and they discussed all night.
The next day.
After Kou Ji got up, put on his official uniform, rushed to Jin Mingchi.
The deer banquet starts in the evening and ends in the middle of the night.
But Kou Ji must rush to Jin Mingchi early to make preparations.
As the youngest of the three examiners, he is naturally required to do such a laborious task.
When Kou Ji arrived at Jin Ming Chi, the eunuch and Gong E sent from the palace had already been waiting at the gate of Jin Ming Chi.
The leader is not the eunuch, but Cai Cai, the guard with a sword, who once had a close relationship with Kou Ji.
When Zhao Heng died, he took some credit, and now he has moved to the position of deputy commander of the guard with a sword.
"Kou Shi Lang..."
"Leader Cai..."
After the two salute each other.
Cai Cai led Kou Ji, the eunuchs and Gong E into the Jin Ming Pond.
The reason why Cai Cai led them into Jinming Pond instead of letting the eunuch lead them into Jinming Pond was because of Jinming Pond.
Jinmingchi can be regarded as the most special place in the Song Dynasty.
It is not only a place for officials and the people to have fun, but also a military powerhouse.
In Jinming Pool, tens of thousands of the most elite naval forces of the Song Dynasty were stationed, and they performed daily exercises on the water in large ships.
Whenever the officials have a banquet in Jinmingchi, they have fun with the people.
The naval forces in Jinmingchi will practice one or two exercises to let the people see and see.
It is a playground and a military camp.
The effect of the two not being able to match together is the perfect fusion in it.
Cai Cai led Kou Ji and his party to the gate of Jinmingchi. After issuing the imperial decree of the official Zhao Zhen, the guard at the gate of Jinmingchi opened the door.
The eight eunuchs stayed on both sides of the gate of Jinmingchi, guarding the gate with the guards at the gate of Jinmingchi.
In the evening, the students who are currently enrolled in Jinming Chi will enter the Jinming Pond. They have to stay to check the identities of the students and let the students in to avoid the students being made difficult by the guards.
The soldiers in Jinmingchi had been notified a long time ago that they knew there was a deer banquet in Jinmingchi tonight, so they had stopped training and the ship moved to another unknown place.
There is only a huge dragon boat floating on the water.
That is the royal dragon boat that can only be carried by officials.
Apart from this, no one on Jin Mingchi can be seen.
Only the emerald green pool surface, accompanied by the gentle fluctuations of the cold wind.
Kou Ji and his entourage entered the Jinming Pond, with golden armored soldiers leading them on a corridor that pierced half of the Jinming Pond.
In the middle of Jinming Pool, there is a group of palaces.
The Luming Banquet was held in the Cheng'en Hall.
The reason why it is called Cheng'en Temple, is the meaning of the emperor's grace.
The group arrived at Cheng'en Hall.
Cai Cai took Kou Ji to a resting place in the hall to rest, and then he led the eunuchs and Gong'e to arrange the hall.
It's not the first time that the eunuchs and Gong'e have done this kind of thing, so there is no need for Kou Ji's supervision to mention anything.
They will do their own errands on their own.
After all, if Lu Mingyan made a mistake, Kou Ji would not be punished, and they, the eunuchs and Gong E who were responsible for arranging the Palace of Cheng'en, would bear all the blame.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Kou Ji hid in a corner of the hall to rest.
He also snatched a few plates of food prepared by the imperial kitchen in the palace.
The eunuch carrying the lunch box did not dare to be angry or say anything about it.
Kou Ji has been salting fish in Cheng'en Hall for most of the day.
The eunuchs and Gong'e have arranged the Cheng'en Hall.
Tables and chairs, food, drinks, and utensils are neatly placed.
After placing them, the eunuchs and Gong'e withdrew from Cheng'en Hall and waited for dispatch in another side hall.
When he was leaving, an old eunuch also approached Kou Ji and said bitterly: "Kou Shi Lang, this time you don't bring the plates and chopsticks from the palace back to the house.
Otherwise, the slave and maid returned to the palace, unable to explain to the palace. "
Kou Ji was unhappy when he heard this, and stared, "I'm not that kind of person!"
The old eunuch didn't dare to slap his mouth, but he bowed his hand to Kou Ji and made a pleading gesture.
Kou Ji sighed, "I know, I won't take those things. But if someone else takes it, then I don't care."
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch hurriedly said: "As long as you don't do it, others will definitely not move."
Kou Ji glared at the old eunuch.
The old eunuch knew that Kou Ji didn't want to listen to what he said, so he didn't dare to say more.
Exited the Chengen Temple.
