In the military tent of the Secret Service, Zhao Yunze sat behind a high-legged desk, fiddling with a small rectangular piece of wood.On the tabletop, there are also several wooden blocks of the same size.Zhao Yunze held a carving knife in one hand and a wooden inscription in the other.Two young people, a man and a woman, stood behind Zhao Yunze on the left and on the right to watch him engrave.The young man was Cheng Chumo, the young woman, who was a member of the former helmsman of the Dragon Guardian Society, named Li Yu.Li Yu is only fifteen years old this year, and she is the sister of Li Ren, who has been appointed by Zhao Yunze as the head of the Secret Service Attendant Team.She used to follow Fang Ting to do things.After the establishment of the Secret Service, Fang Ting recommended Li Yu to Zhao Yunze to serve as the secretary of the attendant team to help Zhao Yunze deal with some cases.Li Yu was too young to be officially awarded an official title.At first, Zhao Yunze saw that she was so young, and he had doubts about her ability.But soon, Zhao Yunze admired Li Yu very much.The little girl not only writes a good handwriting, but also is clever, lively and generous, whether it is dealing with copywriting for Zhao Yunze, or doing some chores such as serving tea and pouring water, she has a clear eye.As a result, Li Yu became another follower of Zhao Yunze.This is also in the Tang Dynasty, a dynasty with an open social atmosphere, Zhao Yunze's appointment of women to engage in official business will not be criticized.If it was placed in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhao Yunze was afraid that he would be drowned by the spittle of the scholar.Besides, the Secret Service is a special department, which is also a special case.Since Li Yu was transferred to Zhao Yunze's side to do things, Zhao Yunze found that Cheng Chumo's kid had become a lot more diligent, which was an unexpected gain.Men and women match, don't get tired of working.Li Yu's girl is long and beautiful, especially those big eyes, like gurgling spring water, it is not surprising that Cheng Chumo, a hairy boy, deliberately behaved in front of Li Yu."
Yu'er, what do you say my master is doing" Cheng Chumo looked at Zhao Yunze and fiddled with wood for a while, and asked Li Yu curiously.Li Yu glanced at Cheng Chu Mo and said, "Dumbfounded, you can't see that adults are clearly practicing wrist strength." ”Zhao Yunze almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood."
Hey, hey, hey, is it okay to engrave the seal" Zhao Yunze hurriedly corrected Li Yu's statement."
Lord Carving, what kind of words are you carving" Li Yu was also curious."
Dragon, the dragon word flying dragon in the sky."
Zhao Yunze said."
Ah, this is a dragon, how can it be like a crooked snake" Li Yu's words made Zhao Yunze's hand tremble, and the small carving knife almost scratched his fingers."
Yu'er, this is a seal body, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Cheng Chumo has become an understanding person at this time."
Chu Mo, you actually know the seal character" Zhao Yunze turned his head and asked Cheng Chu Mo in surprise."
I know both official books and regular scripts, but I don't know seal scripts.I don't know the character engraved by the master, so it's naturally a seal script. ”Cheng Chu meditated and said."
Giggles, it's a dumbhead."
Li Yu was amused by Cheng Chumo's words.Zhao Yunze really wanted to kick Cheng Zhi Mo.The words you don't know are all seal characters, good theory, "Chu Mo, when the new students are enrolled, you hurry up to the cadet camp to report, don't follow me to embarrass me" Zhao Yunze said angrily to Cheng Chumo."
Hehe, isn't there more than ten days left for new students to enroll.Let me get closer to my father. ”Cheng Chu smirked silently.I think you want to get closer to Li Yu to Zhao Yunze, and Cheng Chumo's thoughts are much brighter than Luo Yun and the waste glass burned in the past few days."
My lord, the seal of the dragon character is not written like this.Besides, your craftsmanship is too rough" Li Yu despised Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze angrily threw the wooden block and carving knife on the table, and said, "I thought that wood was better carved than stone, but it was still very tiring."
This kind of fine work is not something that Lao Tzu can do. ”"Adults are talking foul again," Li Yu's little girl pursed her mouth and criticized Zhao Yunze."
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for learning badly."
Zhao Yunze smiled awkwardly.Cheng Chumo: "His whole person is not good."
My lord, I'll help you engrave."
Li Yu said suddenly."
You can also carve the seal," Zhao Yunze asked Li Yu in surprise."
I practiced it when I was bored before."
Zhao Yunze hurriedly let go of his seat and beckoned Li Yudao: "Come on, come on, take a look at your craftsmanship." ”Li Yu was not hypocritical, and sat directly on Zhao Yunze's chair and picked up the carving knife.But she immediately frowned and asked Zhao Yunze: "My lord, the seal carved on wood is heavy and not easy to use."
If you really want to use it for engraving, it's better to use stone. ”"This chapter is for His Majesty, not for real use."
Zhao Yunze said."
Show it to Your Majesty, then I don't dare to be ugly."
Li Yu suddenly became cautious."
It's okay, I'll tell Your Majesty that I carved this chapter, don't shame your people."
Zhao Yunze hurriedly comforted Li Yu."
Okay then."
Li Yu nodded, picked up a new piece of wood, and carved the words."
Only one word can be engraved in a chapter, a total of four chapters, and the four characters of the flying dragon in the sky will be engraved."
Zhao Yunze said to Li Yu."
Well, I'll save it."
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Yu had carved four seals.Zhao Yunze saw that the words on the seal were very beautiful, anyway, it must be beautiful if it is better than me, we don't know how to appreciate this thing, "Chu Mo, inform Li Ren that he wants to enter the palace." ”Zhao Yunze instructed Cheng to say silently."
Okay" Cheng Chu agreed silently, and ran out of the Zhongjun tent with a smoke.Since the establishment of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Yunze's personal guard team has been replaced by one of the former Dragon Guardian Society's chief helmsman guards.The guard team that Li Shimin originally allocated to Zhao Yunze was filled into the Jiangwutang garrison.Zhao Yunze changed the guards, not because the original guards did not suit his wishes, but because the secret service had too many secrets to let outsiders know.Zhao Yunze, accompanied by a team of guards led by Li Ren, left the Jiangwutang camp and headed for Chang'an City.He entered the palace this time to present "movable type printing" to Li Shimin.The reason why I think of movable type printing is because of the booklet in the internal affairs manual of the Shobudo.After Zhao Yunze finished compiling the internal affairs manual of the lecture martial arts, he wanted to find someone to print it in multiple copies and distribute it to the people in the lecture martial arts hall.But when he asked Li Daozong, which department of the imperial court was responsible for engraving, Li Daozong told Zhao Yunze that the manual was only printed in about 200 copies, and it was really not worth engraved, and it was faster to find someone to copy it by hand.Zhao Yunze only remembered at this time that movable type printing had not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the current printing technology was engraving printing.Engraving printing is time-consuming and laborious, a page of paper has to be engraved with a plate, and if the printing volume is small, it is really not worth the effort.So, Zhao Yunze found Kong Yingda, a doctor of Guozijian, and entrusted Kong Yingda to arrange for Guozijian's supervisors to copy two or three hundred copies of the internal affairs manual of Jiangwutang.Anyway, the inmates also have to practice calligraphy, so they should be given calligraphy homework.The manual is not a secret book, nor is it afraid to be shown to outsiders.Although the internal affairs manual of the lecture martial arts hall popularized the members of the lecture martial arts hall by hand-copying, Zhao Yunze also kept in mind the matter of movable type printing.This is another great achievement for the benefit of the country and the people.Besides, Zhao Yunze also compiled a handbook for the students of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, so he can't bother the prisoners of the Guozijian to copy it by hand.I heard that because of the copying of the housekeeping manual, the prisoners had secretly scolded Zhao Yunze as a dog.So, Zhao Yunze entered the palace to present movable type printing to Li Shimin
