As Yun Yanhui said to Renzong, he had to go to Yu Hao.

Yun Yanhui knocked on the door of Yu Hao's house, and after a while, he heard Yu Hao's voice, "Who?"

Yun Yan squeezed her throat back: "Yu Du expected, can I interview you?"

After coming over for a while, the door was suddenly opened, and Yu Hao was startled when he saw Yun Yanhui's face.

Yun Yan smiled back and waved the newspaper in his hand, "Uncle Yu, you are famous."

Yu Hao: "…"

Yu Hao said speechlessly: "It's not all because of you. Someone showed me the government newspaper, and I think the editor-in-chief is actually you."

He also just accepted an interview according to Xiangfang's arrangement. This is the first issue. How did he know that the spread would be so wide. Now, all Tokyo knows that Kaifeng is building a leaning tower, and many people still go to Kaibao Temple to watch. Various discussions are emerging.

Few people know about Yu Hao's ability, but more people don't know who he is. They only discuss from their own perceptions whether the Leaning Tower will be built in the future, and whether it can really stand as Yu Hao said. for thousands of years.

Anyway, Yu Hao is famous. Believe it or not, he is the most famous architect in Tokyo.

Yun Yanhui and Yu Hao entered the room together and saw the tools and drawings all over the room. Yu Hao's daughter brought out tea. It was rare to order tea, because Yu Hao was not used to the popular bubble tea. Tea.

Yu Hao's only daughter, Yu Lian, was deeply influenced by her father, and is now also Yu Hao's first assistant, participating in this development project with him. After seeing Yun Yanhui, he also said hello to Yun Yanhui.

Yu Lian is two years older than Yun Yanhui, so Yun Yanhui has to call her sister when she sees her, but seeing Yun Yanhui at this moment, she sighed: "Recently, many people have been looking for Dad, wanting him to supervise the construction of the pavilion. Well. If it wasn't for your big job at hand, I wouldn't be able to push it."

After all, Yu Hao is now famous, so he has attracted many local tyrants. If it weren't for the fact that he was doing this job for the official family, it would be really hard to refuse.

"So I said, Uncle Yu is famous." Yun Yanhui sat down with Yu Hao.

Yu Hao shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he brought a stack of blueprints and showed them to Yun Yan. These are his drawings, including the main parts of the complex in the suburbs of Beijing, including style shopping streets, residential quarters, viewing pavilions, indoor playgrounds, gardens, food courts, and more.

Yu Hao is very good at designing pavilions with beautiful styles. The styles of these buildings are unified. From a panoramic rendering, they are scattered and unbelievably beautiful.

Its content setting is very modern, but its appearance is full of Northern Song Dynasty style, gorgeous and elegant, and it is a combination of two eras.

"In terms of architectural design in the garden, it is relatively open, because you require... to change frequently?" Yu Hao said.

Yunyan nodded back, because this garden is not a private garden, it is for the public at that time, in order to attract the public to come often, so the scenery inside must be changed regularly. Including the flower fields he is going to plant, he will also change plants with the seasons.

Yu Hao discussed the details with Yun Yanhui again. For example, Yun Yanhui was particularly concerned about the toilet.

"I insist that the latrines should be built very luxuriously, especially many." Yun Yan replied.

This Yu Hao's design is relatively simple, he scratched his head, "I can understand that it needs to be repaired more, but it is very luxurious?"

"Well, you have to do a good job of eating, drinking, living, and traveling, otherwise how will you keep the guests." Yun Yan replied, "Uncle Yu, when it's convenient, it's the time when a person is most vulnerable and insecure, and many toilets , but also gives people a bad impression, especially in public places. If the latrine in a place gives people a feeling of being at home, then I believe they will be happy to go out, after all, it is a bit far, and if you want to stay, you will inevitably encounter to the question of convenience.”

Yun Yanhui talked about the impact of latrines on the development of tourists, and Yu Lian next to him was slightly drunk.

Yu Hao accepted, "Okay, then I'll change the latrine." He looked at his drawings, Yun Yan had also made a request before, that each compartment should be closed a little more to give guests more private space.

But Yu Hao thought about it for himself, if he went to such a place to play, not only would he eat and drink well, but even Lazarus would be in such a good place, he must also feel very good.

Thinking about it this way, Ge'er did take into account the extremes from the standpoint of tourists, so Yu Hao felt very good about the perfection of details, because he himself is a bit critical and likes to innovate.

However, at this time, neither of them thought that a few years later, when everyone in Amway went there to play, the toilet would become the first reason for recommendation... But that's a story later.

The two pondered some details again. After they were finalized, Yu Hao said that he immediately started to make changes. After making changes, there was no problem. After Yunyan returned, he could send it to Renzong and show it to the big boss.

Yu Lian said, "Brother Yan, will you stay for dinner?"

Yun Yan replied, "Uh, I have something to do this afternoon..."

"What's the matter, do you still have time to eat?" Yu Hao asked.

"Okay..." Yun Yanhui stood up helplessly and walked into the kitchen.

That's right, what the father and daughter meant to let him eat was that he came to cook...

Yu Hao still has the wine that Yun Yanhui sent him before. Yun Yanhui cooked a few home-cooked dishes and drank two glasses of wine with Yu Hao before leaving.

In fact, Yu Hao also knew the person Yun Yan was looking for, Zhao Yunchu.

Previously, because he started to make newspapers, Yunyan went back to pay attention to the printing of newspapers, because it is an official production, but there is no need to worry about the quality and speed.

But Yun Yanhui thought of one thing. Why hasn't movable type printing appeared yet

Yun Yanhui never got involved in printing, because he knew that Bi Sheng, the father of movable type printing, was a man of this era, so he had been waiting for movable type printing to appear naturally in front of him.

However, it was not until he started to compile a newspaper that he suddenly realized that he had not waited for so many years to witness the history of one of the four great inventions that swept the world. It stands to reason that this thing was researched several years ago, right

Yun Yanhui was a little worried about whether it was the butterfly effect that she brought, so she decided to ask Zhao Yunchu to help and ask.

However, Yun Yanhui was not sure where Bi Sheng was from. Yun Yanhui didn't know much about Bi Sheng's life, only that some scholars speculated that he was from Hangzhou, but some people said that he was from Huainan area.

So I just asked Zhao Yunchu to talk to the local officials who connected with their Dali Temple, and look for Bi Sheng and his movable type printing technology everywhere.

Zhao Yunchu naturally agreed. At that time, he used the channel of Dali Temple and asked the local officials below to help find people.

At this moment, it was he who asked Yun Yan to go back, and he already believed it.

Yunyan went back to Dali Temple to find Zhao Yunchu. Zhao Yunchu was at work, and when he saw Yunyan returning, he showed him a letter.

He asked a few people for help, and finally found Bi Sheng in Hangzhou, and the letter was returned by the local officials there.

The local official said that he also searched for a long time in Hangzhou before he found Bi Sheng, an ordinary old printer, but he did invent a type of movable type printing, which was invented several years ago, but there is no printing workshop at all. use, so even the local officials took a lot of effort to find out. He wondered how the senior officials in Beijing knew about such a person.

The local official also went to find Bi Sheng in person. Seeing is believing, and Bi Sheng was very frightened. When he heard that it was for movable type printing, he thought it was illegal.

As expected, the local official was in charge of the criminal case, and his work was very reliable. Zhao Yunchu didn't say it, but he also attached the detailed information of Bi Sheng and the recent encounters he had investigated.

Bi Sheng spent a lot of effort, and it took many years to research the movable type printing with clay. However, after running around for many times, he could not implement it. I don't know if it was depression or not. In the past two years, his body has not been as good as before.

Zhao Yunchu said curiously: "Brother Yan, this person is not well-known locally, how did you know him?"

"I heard someone say it by accident..." Yun Yan thought back, "How come such a good thing hasn't spread?"

After thinking about it, he may have taken it for granted. He thinks that such a great thing will quickly become popular as soon as it appears. However, not every great new invention will be implemented smoothly at the beginning. After all, the times and the environment , characters, etc. are different.

Therefore, Bi Sheng, together with his inventions, were indeed unknown in this era, and it was not until many years later that they became known to every household. Yun Yan recalled, maybe, he should do something.

Yun Yanhui said to Zhao Yunchu seriously: "Recommend him to the official family, he is a very great person. I believe you can also see the benefits of movable type printing, which will definitely benefit the printing industry in the Song Dynasty and even the whole world. A huge impact, which indirectly affects more things.”

Yun Yanhui was not an official, so he couldn't recommend it, but Zhao Yunchu could. Since Bi Sheng also wanted to implement movable type printing, he must have answered the call - after all, the emperor's call can also be turned down. These days, from scholars to the public, they are so arrogant.

Zhao Yunchu nodded, "Since he is a talent, he naturally has to recommend it to the officials."

Renzong has always been thirsty for talents. From his inspection of Zhanzhao and Baiyutang's martial arts, the addition of official titles, and the fixed time of the imperial examinations, we can know that during his reign, he could be said to have recruited talents from all over the world, all of which were used by the imperial court.

When Yun Yanhui left from Zhao Yunchu, it was not yet time for get off work, but Yun Yanhui wasted too many brain cells in the morning, so he decided to be lazy and combine work and rest.

As soon as Yunyan returned home, a small cannonball fell from the sky and smashed into his arms.

Yunyan bent her legs back, almost didn't stand, hugged the little tiger that jumped over, smiling, "Oh my God... it's heavy enough, baby."

The little tiger put his arms around Yun Yanhui's neck, leaned on him and refused to go down, and shouted stickily, "Fat Yan..."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yan returned angrily and said, "It is strictly forbidden to Zhihe, Zhili... No, it is strictly forbidden for all those with non-standard Mandarin to teach Chinese to the little tiger! Let's see what the child's accent is taught!"

Didn't he ask his family to teach the little tiger Chinese. As a result, the people who often came to his house saw that the little tiger looked very similar to Yun Yanhui, and they also liked to play with him and taught him Chinese by the way.

The little tiger is very smart, but the bad thing is that it is smart. Being interrupted like this, his Chinese accent is terrible now - after all, from Zhihe brothers to Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Kaifeng f4 and Yun Yanhui. Artists, etc., come from all over the world.

The little tiger looked at Yun Yan's angry look, half understood, and smiled and kissed him again with saliva, "castrated child."

Yunyan replied: "..."
