The atmosphere in Chang'an City was also a little excited, even Dou Ying couldn't hold back, laughed when he met people, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.The First World War was crowned eleven marquises, which is definitely a rare feat, and the meaning revealed in it is even more worth pondering.The sons and daughters of the heroes who joined the army this time were mostly Chen Dou, accounting for about half, and among the eleven people who were feuded as marquises, three were surnamed Dou and two were surnamed Chen, also nearly half.Although there are not many restaurants, the largest is 800 households, and the smallest is only 200 households, which is still gratifying.For the children of meritorious heroes, this is an unprecedented grace.Not everyone can be a marquis of the descendants of meritorious heroes, only the eldest son is eligible to inherit the title, and others can only enjoy the rich, not the noble, after adulthood, independent portals, they are commoners, at best, the family wealth is richer.For example, today's foreign expeditions, rewarding military exploits, and sealing so many marquis in a big war, they saw hope again, and their enthusiasm for joining the army soared, and almost every day someone recruited followers and went to Ganquan Palace to ask for battle.In addition to his meritorious service in the army, those Chen Dou disciples who obeyed Dou Ying's orders and took the initiative or were forced to travel were also greatly encouraged.Mei Gao was the marquis, and set a good example for them.Not only can you be a marquis when you are in the army, but you can also be a marquis when you travel the world.Isn't Mei Gao a marquis because he is familiar with the situation in Xiqiang?
Although there are only 300 households, the title is a real marquis.With this example, more people are willing to travel.Dou Ying seized the opportunity to encourage more children to go out of Chang'an and travel the world.Although it is a little hard, but it can not only open your eyes, but also have the opportunity to be a marquis, no matter how bad it is, you can get the manuscript fee, and the written article is recited by people, fame and fortune, why waste time in Chang'an Under the persuasion of Dou Ying, the personnel who visited the river on the spot were quickly recruited and ready to go.Dou Ying is experienced, and he also knows that this matter was nominally initiated by him, but in fact, Liang Xiao was behind it.And he is also very clear about Liang Xiao's habits of doing things.In order to cooperate with Liang Xiao and to do this matter better, before leaving, he gathered his disciples and notified two things.The first thing, of course, is the significance of this expedition.As far as the public is concerned, this is to prepare for the eradication of the river and benefit the country and the people.Privately, it is an opportunity for them to become rich.If the river can be cured, it will be more significant than the great victory of Xiqiang, and the Son of Heaven will never hesitate to reward.The second thing is to look at the methods that need to be taken care of.River control is a major event, and there is no room for exaggeration.At present, there are many people who want to make meritorious contributions through river control, and the competition is very strong.If you want to be invincible, you must do things more solidly and not give others the slightest chance to pick on them.Therefore, it is better to be slower, to investigate a smaller range, and to measure every data repeatedly.Only in this way can the results of their investigation be adopted by the imperial court.To this end, Dou Ying also specially asked those who have experience in field measurement to write a few articles, and face-to-face training, and finally pulled to Lantian Mountain to practice on the spot to ensure that everyone has mastered this technology, and then send them on the road, just like sending off soldiers on the expedition.The people who set off were not a group, and Dou Ying's training was also done several times in a row, and he later simply lived in Lantian Manor for a long time and used it as a training center.When he had nothing to do, he sorted out the manuscript and sent it to Huainan constantly, asking the king of Huainan to arrange for it to be printed.Although Dou Ying is on leave now and does not need to serve the Son of Heaven, he is even busier than on duty.Not only busy, but also very busy, like a second spring, walking with the wind, even the voice of the voice is much louder.In his busy schedule, Dou Ying took a few entourages to Ganquan Palace.Before asking to see the Son of Heaven, he first found Liang Xiao.When Liang Xiao saw Dou Ying, he was very surprised."
Gong Dou, have you been cultivating immortals recently, this spiritual qi is three points stronger than me.""
Hahaha" Dou Ying laughed, patted Liang Xiao's shoulder hard, and pulled him aside."
Boy, don't make a joke about me.I've come here to discuss something with you. ”"If Gong Dou has any orders, just send someone to inform him, why bother to come in person.""
Other things can be done by someone else, and it's better for me to say this in person."
Dou Ying's white eyebrows were raised."
If you have time, find a place to talk."
Seeing this, Liang Xiao knew that Dou Ying must have something important, so he said to the person on duty, and led Dou Ying out of the palace and to his residence.As soon as the two of them took their seats, Dou Ying said straight to the point: "I want to ask you to discuss with King Huainan and open a printing shop in Chang'an."
Chang'an is too far away from Huainan, one comes and goes, even if it is a fast horse, it will take several days, if it is to transport goods, it will not be able to arrive in a month.There's too much time wasted in between.I'm old and don't have that much time to waste. ”Liang Xiao smiled."
Gong Dou, I see that you will live for another twenty or thirty years, and there will be no problem at all.If you want me to help, you don't have to do that. ”Dou Ying laughed.Liang Xiao was happy in his heart.At the first glance of Dou Ying, he knew that Dou Ying was in a good state of mind now.Although Dou Ying is old, he is still chivalrous, and he and Tian Wei are not all the way.Wealth is not the most important thing for him, and a sense of accomplishment is the best panacea.Now Chen Dou's career is promising, and his Dou Ying's reputation has further soared, which is much more energetic than being a prime minister."
Please ask King Huainan to open a printing workshop in Chang'an, of course I support it.However, the cost of opening a bookstore is not small, and just printing a travelogue may not be worth the loss.The reason why King Huainan was too busy was because he had a lot of books to print, not to mention anything else, just that Huainan Honglie was enough for him to print for a few years.Do you have such a big need" Dou Ying was stunned for a moment and was silent.He came in a hurry, but he didn't expect so many details."
It doesn't matter if you lose a little, I can hold it.""
No, it's not that a loss-making business can't be done, it depends on whether it's worth it.You're just trying to save a little time, and you don't have to fill it in.After all, you have just been able to win and lose at your own expense now, so why rush for a while" Liang Xiao reminded quietly: "Of course, if you have enough needs, then there is naturally no problem." ”Dou Ying was inspired."
That's right, I can print some other books besides travelogues.""
Then what do you want to print" "This" was asked by Liang Xiao, Dou Ying had to hold back his excitement and think seriously.After a while, he had an idea."
For example, I can print Wenfu, Sima Xiangru and Mei Gao They all have a lot of famous articles, and they can only rely on hand-copied oral transmission, and errors are inevitable.If I use the method of printing, even if it is spread all over the world, there will not be a single word of error, how good" is indeed a good method.However, Fu is only circulated among literati and scholars, and the business volume is limited.Think about it, what else can you print?"
”Dou Ying said again: "The newspapers sent by the imperial court to the counties are all copied by hand, and if they can be printed, they can also be faster." ”"The newspaper can be printed, and with your Dou Gong coming forward, His Majesty can also give you this face.However, the number of Di Bao is too small, I'm afraid I can't feed you. ”Dou Ying scratched his head.He glanced at Liang Xiao, and suddenly smiled: "Haha, why should I bother so much, you must have an idea, let's hear it." ”"I have a way, but I'm afraid that if I tell you, my family will be restless.""
No, no, Lord Weng, I'll intercede for you, she will sell me a little face."
Dou Ying laughed, pulled Liang Xiao's arm, and urged repeatedly.Liang Xiao said unhurriedly: "Duke Dou, you should be like those young people, go out for a walk more, open your eyes, and don't always look at the court and those dignitaries."
Sometimes, there is a greater need for learning among ordinary people. ”Dou Ying will be skeptical."
Tell me about it."
Liang Xiao smiled and said word by word: "For example, almanacs." ”Dou Ying woke up like a dream and slapped his thigh."
That's right, almanacs are needed by every household, and they have to be replaced every year, although they can't make a lot of money, but they are a lot.There are more than 100,000 households near Chang'an, my God, even if several families share one almanac, it will be tens of thousands. ”"This is just one aspect, there is a better idea, I believe that the Son of Heaven will definitely praise you Dou Gong for becoming a country.""
Don't sell anything, let's talk about it.""
Mengshu.""
Mengshu" "Yes, there are many rich families near Chang'an.Their children all need to read and write, so Mongolian books are always needed, there is no unified Mongolian book now, each as he pleases.If you ask someone to excerpt ancient books, select some famous sayings for people and things, and match them with pictures, while teaching Mengtong to read and write, and let them understand the principles of how to behave in the world, how can you not be popular In this way, you have a business, enough to maintain the operation of the printing house, and can assist the Son of Heaven to educate people's hearts, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone" Dou Ying's eyes widened, looked at Liang Xiao for a long time, and suddenly slapped his palm on Liang Xiao's shoulder, got up and left.Liang Xiao covered his shoulders and shouted, "Oh, hey, Dou Gong, what are you doing here."
My idea is not good, so you don't have to be so angry. ”"I'm not angry, I'm afraid you'll regret it."
Dou Ying raised his sleeves and ran away.Liang Xiao crooked his mouth."
Old boy, I haven't finished yet, why did you run away.I have a better idea than Mengshu, but I have no choice but to talk about it next time.Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one. ”Dou Ying slipped into the palace and asked to see the Son of Heaven.Although the Son of Heaven was busy, when he heard that the old minister Dou Ying was coming, he immediately met him.Dou Ying's recent actions have made the Son of Heaven very satisfied.There is one less old minister who relies on the old and sells the old in front of him, and Chang'an has one more housekeeper who solves problems.Dou Ying mobilized Chen Dou's children to travel and conscript, and they all helped the imperial court solve many practical difficulties."
Gong Dou, what elixir have you taken recently, your spirit is so good" "Being able to serve Your Majesty, the minister is naturally in good spirits. ”"Haha."
The Son of Heaven laughed and stretched out his hand to give a seat.After Dou Ying took his seat, the Son of Heaven said: "What is the public opinion in Chang'an?"
"The news of Pingyang Hou's victory reached Chang'an, and Chang'an was jubilant.Everyone is willing to serve His Majesty, and every day people go out of Chang'an and rush to the front.Even next to this Ganquan Palace, there are many people who ask for war.Even the weak scholars are encouraged and are willing to show their talents and gain fame.Your Majesty, now it is really the monarch and the people who are united as one. ”The Son of Heaven was very satisfied, he couldn't hide the smugness between his eyebrows, and said a few words of modesty."
Then does anyone talk about the river disaster?"
”The Son of Heaven was stunned, and the smile on his face suddenly dissipated."
Your Majesty, the minister threw a brick and drew out countless jades."
Dou Ying stroked his beard and laughed."
After the travelogue was printed, it was in short supply, which not only made the minister make a fortune, but also allowed more people to see the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of my Han Dynasty.Nowadays, more and more people want to travel.The news of the marquis of Meigao reached Chang'an, which added firewood to this fire.There are countless people who want to inspect the great river and give advice to His Majesty on the management of the river.Your Majesty's concern now is not that there is no information, but how to screen it. ”When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was relieved and couldn't help but smile.The purpose of sealing Meigao as a marquis is to stimulate those scholars, so that they can go out like Meigao, travel the world, and provide geographical information for the expedition of the army.If there was no map of Xiqiang provided by Mei Gao, how could Cao Shi accurately capture the whereabouts of the Qiang people and make a great achievement of beheading more than 30,000 people in one fell swoop.In the art of war, it is often said that before the army moves, the grain and grass go first.Now the Son of Heaven has a new understanding: the army has not moved, and the scholars go first.Whether it was the Battle of Henan or the Battle of Hexi, it illustrated a problem, and in order to achieve military success, the understanding of the geographical situation is the most important issue that should be considered.Without this preparation, even if an army of millions enters an unmeasured place, it is difficult to guarantee victory.If you want to understand the geography of mountains and rivers, customs and customs, and draw accurate maps, it is difficult for ordinary people to be competent, and only literate and hyphenated scholars can do it.In this regard, Mei Gao is undoubtedly the most suitable role model, and the Son of Heaven feels that three hundred households are not enough to reward Mei Gao's merits, and the reason why he does this is only to avoid affecting the mood of the warriors.When the war is over, he is also ready to add more food estates."
Although wealth can inspire people, if it weren't for Dou Gongju's high voice, it wouldn't have such a big impact.In this expedition to the west, although Dou Gong was far away in Chang'an, he was also meritorious.After the war, when I talk about merit, I will not forget Dou Gong. ”Dou Ying was overjoyed."
Thank you, Your Majesty.The ministers are dying of old age, and they can't go into battle, but fortunately, they still have some thin names, and they are willing to wave the flag and shout for His Majesty and help the momentum. ”"That's very good.When the first emperor entrusted me to Duke Dou, he was the greatest love for me. ”Dou Ying was emotional, and the old tears were rampant.He fell to the ground and wept silently.The Son of Heaven helped Dou Ying up and comforted him with kind words.The two talked thoughtfully for a while, and Dou Ying said what he meant.He asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict and ordered the King of Huainan to set up a printing workshop in Chang'an, print Mongolian books and almanacs, open up the wisdom of the people, and cultivate talents for the country.When the Son of Heaven heard this, he applauded repeatedly, and while ordering someone to go to Liang Xiao and others to discuss, he asked about the details.Dou Ying further developed Liang Xiao's suggestion, proposing to collect some inspiring and inspiring stories from various classics, and compile catchy nursery rhymes, so that children can learn literacy and reading at the same time, but also know the relationship between the father and son, the husband and wife.The Son of Heaven nodded again and again, full of praise.yznn:
