With the help of Cai Yan, the Ministry of Industry has made a lot of engravings, the Analects, the Spring and Autumn Period, Mencius, a book, there are a lot of engravings, each engraving will have a corresponding mark, used to distinguish the order, just the engraving of the Analects, there are more than 200 pieces.
Thinking about Cai Yan's writing in reverse words piece by piece, he can't make a mistake, Liu Xie admires this woman very much, ordinary people really can't do this kind of thing.
"How many copies of this book can be published in a day" Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Pu Yuan on the side and asked.
"With the current number of stereotypes and the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry, 800 books can be written every day."
Pu Yuan said with a smile, it doesn't sound like much, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for this area plus miscellaneous people are only 100 people, according to Liu Xie's assembly line last night, someone is responsible for brushing ink, someone is responsible for rubbing, and then air-drying, bound into a book, a day, 800 volumes, in Liu Xie's opinion, in fact, there are not many, but if you let people outside know, I'm afraid your jaw will drop.
Although the paper has been made, it does not say whether the family is willing to borrow it, even if it is willing, it takes a lot of effort to copy a Analect, and the Analects is relatively small, copied day and night, if it is purely copied by manpower, it will take a few days to complete a copy, and this bookstore can print 800 copies a day, this efficiency, for this era, is not simple.
Looking at a few finished books, Liu Xie frowned, turned his head to look at Pu Yuandao: "In the future, I will focus on reprinting the Analects and Spring and Autumn Period, and as for other books, I will ask someone to get a model." ” At present, there are many reprinted templates, including Yuefu poetry collections, as well as various works of predecessors, including the doctrine written by Cai Yong during his lifetime, Cai Yan as the daughter of Cai Yong, what she has learned is rich and knowledgeable, which is indeed breathtaking.
"I want to rub the books of war, war strategy, and mathematics, and as for the rest, I will put them aside for the time being."
Liu Xie thought for a while and said, not that other books are bad, but in terms of practicality, they are far less than some pragmatic books, and the reprinting speed of the Ministry of Industry is so fast, before there is a larger scale, get too many of these books that cultivate the body and mind and explore human nature, which seem lofty, but in fact, it is useless for the court and the country.
"Your Majesty, why is this" Cai Yan'e frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xie, a little puzzled, and a little angry, after all, these engravings took her nearly a year, and now Liu Xie's words will be denied most of them, for her, it is not only a matter of painstaking effort, but more importantly, these books are collected by Cai Yong for a lifetime, which also includes the history of the Han Dynasty written by Cai Yong himself, for Cai Yan, the meaning is even more important than her life, She is bent on passing on these things, and now Liu Xie has denied most of them at once, so how can she not feel uncomfortable.
"Akihime."
Liu Xie found a chair and sat down, looked at Cai Yan seriously and said: "I don't mean that these things are not printed, I am very respectful to Cai Weng, but there is always a priority in everything." ” "What I want now is a talent who can be pragmatic" Looking at Cai Yan, Liu Xie said seriously: "What is pragmatic for officials to be able to calculate a county's expenses, income, and calculations in an orderly manner in a short period of time, and as an official, it can make the people of a place live and work in peace and contentment, this is called pragmatism, and the people targeted are also those who have not learned anything, or even illiterate ordinary people, now this Ministry of Industry can only print 800 copies a day, which sounds like a lot, but I next, to promote knowledge, you tell those who are illiterate to learn these things as soon as they come up, can you understand." ” "History can make people rise and fall."
Cai Yan frowned.
"I don't expect everyone to understand these things now, what I want now is very simple, pragmatic, and able to do things for me, and then, now the court seems to have enough talents, but in fact, it is not enough, far from enough, I want to cultivate enough officials who can make the entire Han Dynasty run normally and efficiently in less than ten years, or rather, it is capable officials, after all, people's energy is limited, what I want to do is to consolidate the grassroots, so that my Han can have long-term peace and stability, as for these knowledge, Zhao Ji can rest assured, After the opening of this first batch of academies for the people, we will expand the printing of bookstores, and when the time comes, there will be special bookstores responsible for printing these things. ” Cai Yan is not really unreasonable, but it is related to Cai Yong's life's work, and it is inevitable that he will drill the tip of the horns, at this moment, he got Liu Xie's promise, his mood calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "If it is just arithmetic, the concubine has a unique book of nine chapters of arithmetic left by her father, this book almost includes the arithmetic achievements since the Warring States period, from shallow to deep, there are records, and it has not been sent before, if Your Majesty needs it, the concubine is willing to dedicate it to Your Majesty." ” "Okay" Liu Xie stroked his palm and smiled, Cai Yan is a treasure, not to mention the rich collection of books at home, it is a mobile library in itself, Liu Xie did everything possible to keep Cai Yan behind, for these, after all, even if you take the collection of books left by Cai Yong, it will take a lot of time to sort it out, and with Cai Yan, it is much simpler.
"In addition, I still have some ideas, some time ago I consulted with the imperial uncle Liu Hong, it is quite feasible, since Zhao Ji is willing to come up with nine chapters of arithmetic, I want to invite Zhao Ji, the imperial uncle and a few other arithmetic masters to reorganize the nine chapters of arithmetic."
Arabic numerals, now only circulated in the secret guard, but this kind of thing is more practical whether it is written records or used to promote, Liu Xie wants to use this to sort out the arithmetic of today's Han Dynasty, and after the book is completed, some basic operations and laws will be promoted.
Strictly speaking, the mathematics of this era can still cover the knowledge of physics, and if it can really be widely used and promoted, it can be used in various fields such as astronomy and geography, which is a very practical science.
"There is one concubine who can recommend His Majesty, if this person is only based on arithmetic, even his father once thought that he was quite inferior."
Cai Yan bowed.
"Oh" Liu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he found some arithmetic masters, but in fact, the main research is astronomical direction, such as Liu Hong, intensive study of the calendar, astronomy, because arithmetic is helpful for these things, will be learned, and most of the others are like this, hearing what Cai Yan said, I can't help but be very interested: "But I don't know who it is" "Back to Your Majesty."
Cai Yan bowed slightly and said: "This person's surname is Zhao, his name is Shuang, the word Junqing, he is a person from Wu County, he studied under his father in his early years, and he was quite talented in arithmetic, and later his father was deposed, so he resigned and returned to Wu County. ” Zhao Shuang Liu Xie has not heard of it, but he can get such a high evaluation from Cai Yong in terms of learning, and his ability is probably not bad, so he nodded and said: "Since I am a great talent, I will issue an edict and order someone to go to Jiangdong, invite this person to enter the court, and reorganize the nine chapters of arithmetic." ” "The concubine is willing to enclose a letter and invite him to come."
Cai Yan bowed slightly.
Cai Yong's death, although Wang Yun insisted on going his own way, but Liu Xie's weakness at the beginning was also one of the reasons, since Zhao Shuang was able to directly abandon the official and give up his future because of Cai Yong's deposition, it can be seen that his feelings for Cai Yong are now Liu Xie's edict, and the other party may not respond to the edict, it is Cai Yan who has this said.
"Then there will be Lao Zhaoji."
Liu Xie also understood the meaning, nodded his head and said, now that Jiangdong is in the midst of frequent wars, Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Sun Ce, Wang Lang, these small warlords are fighting endlessly, and with the experience of Yuan Shu and the face of the imperial court, these people dare not give it.
"It's a matter of duty."
Cai Yan bowed down and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty has done is a matter of benefit for a thousand years, although the concubine is a daughter, she is willing to do her best." ” Seeing that Cai Yan was about to write a letter, Liu Xie stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't be busy yet, don't be in a hurry, I still have something I want to ask Zhao Ji." ” "Your Majesty, please speak."
Hearing this, Cai Yan turned to Liu Xieyifu and bowed.
"The ministers are leaving."
Seeing Liu Xie's gaze, Pu Yuan and the others bowed down and retreated with interest, and let the two of them talk.
"I have already said before, I want to open these knowledge to the people, and now most of the people in my Guanzhong have some family assets, and there should be many people who are willing to study, but if you really want to promote these knowledge, there should be a lot of resistance, I don't know what Zhao Ji thinks" Liu Xie smiled and looked at Cai Yan.
Cai Yan belongs to the kind of scholarly character, well-read and strong, and his knowledge reserves look at the world, I am afraid that only those old scholars who are as famous as Cai Yong can compare, although they don't care about political affairs, but they do have knowledge, Liu Xie said this, and naturally understood the meaning.
E's eyebrows frowned slightly: "The concubine is just a woman, this national event, it's hard to say much." ” "I just want to see what Zhao Ji thinks, not discuss politics, but Zhao Ji says it's okay."
Liu Xie waved his hand and said with a smile.
Cai Yan was a little helpless, she didn't want to get involved in these things, just like Cai Yong, she just wanted to focus all her energy on learning, but since Liu Xie said so at this moment, she couldn't shirk it.
There was no one left and right, Cai Yan frowned and thought about it: "This matter, it is advisable to slow down." ” "Of course I know."
Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan, he was very curious, if it is about the amount of knowledge, even if it is Cai Yan of Guo Jiabi, it is difficult to beat, and Cai Yan's ability values are not weak, the top is not the top, but the first-class is no problem, and it is also a first-class level of strategy and internal affairs, which is already very high, looking at the court, there are few of them, it seems that this ability has nothing to do with the amount of knowledge, but if it has nothing to do with it, it doesn't make sense, he wants to see what Cai Yan is capable of.
"Taixue has been abandoned for a long time, and Your Majesty can reopen Taixue as a way for scholars to be promoted."
Cai Yan thought for a while, and said bluntly: "If you want to take it first, you must give it first, since Your Majesty wants to promote learning, you naturally need a reason, the country is not talented, especially in the follow-up, plus the Ministry of Industry makes books, which can be put in Taixue first, as for how to promote it next, the concubine has limited knowledge, I am afraid that I will not be able to help Your Majesty." ” Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan, nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, I will discuss the rest of the matter, Zhao Ji will go and rest first, and tomorrow I will send someone to you to get the letter." ” "Huh" Cai Yan saluted again, said goodbye and left. t1706231537:
