Early the next morning, Du Shaoqing got up and went to the palace, but he didn't expect that in the council hall, Emperor Li Er was holding Yan Liben's sketch to watch.Seeing that his proud son-in-law was coming, Li Er hurriedly asked people to serve tea and watch the seats, "Shaoqing, I didn't expect you to have the ability to write a Danqing skill?"
Yan Aiqing, who will be the prisoner, said that this style of painting will be of great use, and it will be used to chase thieves and arrest murderers, but it is amazing, what do you think?
”Du Shaoqing nodded: "What Master Yan said is good, not only that, but my son-in-law thinks that it can be used in the registration of people in various places.However, today's way of painting is simple and easy to learn, and can be popularized all over the world, and as long as the painting is in place, the specific appearance of the person is made, and the people are all registered, this kind of benefit, the father-in-law may see farther than the son-in-law. ”Li Er laughed, this son-in-law all said that he was in his heart, if everyone in Datang was registered, then the people would be able to find out through the directory immediately, and the criminals would be difficult to move in Datang, and there would be no difference in Datang.Moreover, this method has miraculous effects in dealing with foreign scouts and spies, and Datang can really do it with iron buckets."
But now there is a problem, and it is also the reason why the son-in-law entered the palace, that is, our paper is scarce, even if we can train a large number of painters, I am afraid that this matter will be cut off because there is no paper available."
Being reminded by Du Shaoqing, Li Er came back to his senses from the excitement and sighed: "Yes, paper, paper again!"
This paper is not only about painting, do you know why Datang is so short of readers?
From ancient times to the present, how many sages have been determined to enlighten the people's wisdom and educate sentient beings, but none of them have done so, and the fundamental reason for this, in addition to the well-known disagreement between the ideas of the hundred schools of thought, is inseparable from this paper. ”Du Shaoqing nodded, and he thought about it carefully when he was fine, "There is no paper and no book, even if there are sages who want to write books and leave masterpieces, but because they cannot be printed and widely disseminated, there will often be lonely books, or lost."
The surviving books were treasured, and the common people could not access the books, and even if the imperial court wanted to popularize education, there were no books to distribute to the people, so it was helpless after all. ”Li Er laughed at himself and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to Qinghe Cui to have a look, how about it?"
Were you shocked?
”Subconsciously, Du Shaoqing nodded and said: "Shock, people's library, I'm afraid it's as big as the Taiji Hall of our Great Dynasty, the collection of books is not counted, if you let your son-in-law read it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to read it in my lifetime, no wonder there are many talents." ”"Oh?
They were so generous that they let you into their library?
”Li Er looked at his son-in-law in surprise.Du Shaoqing came back to his senses, he already regretted it, and said in his heart, what am I doing with this?
Forgot about this cheap father-in-law's suspicions?"
Maybe it's to show off, I'll go in and read the medical book, the people in the Cui family are as dissatisfied as an enemy when they see me, they are all ignorant people who cherish themselves."
Li Er laughed: "You are better than the prince, the prince once begged to kiss the Cui family, and he came back from humiliation, and no one will give me face, I can give you a face to visit, not bad, don't be greedy." ”"What my father-in-law said is true, but my son-in-law thinks that we can give it a try, maybe we can one day let his Cui family, and even the five surnamed seven families, all take the initiative to move out of the library and bow their heads and submit to softness."
Du Shaoqing said proudly."
You kid, don't brag nonsense, the five surnames and the seven Wangcui families are respected, and I have to respect three points, you can cover up your mess in Chang'an, but it's best not to mess with them."
Li Er admonished.Of course, he would not have thought that it was the old patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan who pleaded with Du Shaoqing to demolish the Qinghe Cui clan.Nodding, Du Shaoqing was grateful for the father-in-law's care, and patted his head and said: "After chatting for a long time, I almost forgot to get down to business, my son-in-law came to ask my father-in-law to help me find some manpower, I want to see if I can study a new papermaking method." ”Li Er exclaimed and stood up, "You know how to make paper?"
”"No, but I know a little bit about it, if there are skilled craftsmen, I may be able to improve it, it will definitely be useful."
Du Shaoqing explained."
You, you kid has a lot of tone, this is a big deal, why didn't you say it earlier?
If you can make cheap paper, and the production is enough, hum, five surnames and seven hopes, why should I let them go again?
Say, what do you need?
”Li Er waved his hand, saying what he wanted, and now he was looking forward to this son-in-law who had repeatedly offered advice, wondering if he could send another surprise at this time.Du Shaoqing pondered for a moment and said: "A large enough workshop in the city needs a batch, at least a batch, skilled craftsmen, and old craftsmen are the best." ”"Give it to you, give it to you, I will arrange someone to do it today, there is it in the craftsman palace, and I will send an order to summon rice paper craftsmen into Chang'an to listen to your deployment, I only have one request, no matter how much it costs, it must be done.""
There's one more, one private request."
Du Shaoqing added.Well?
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, "Say, do you want money or officials?"
Give it to whoever you want, as long as it's not outrageous. ”Du Shaoqing was speechless, am I so greedy?
Does it look like you're here to take advantage?"
Ahem, don't do it, if these people gossip, you can't use it.The son-in-law wants this business, and once this is done, the new paper business will be given to me. ”Du Shaoqing said the purpose, this is also his intention, to win the future papermaking business, in fact, what he didn't say is that he has been exposed to papermaking before, as long as it is given to skilled workers, he will definitely be able to improve.Hearing his son-in-law's condition, Li Er couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You kid is not a master who is short of money, why do you have to do that businessman's business?"
Lost his identity in vain. ”"There's no way, the family is short of money, the hospital is a money-losing business, Changle Home is a bottomless pit, I'm still preparing for the reconstruction plan of Chang'an City, demolition compensation, reconstruction, etc., if I don't open other businesses, I'm afraid I really can't play."
Du Shaoqing cried poorly.Hearing this, Li Er didn't shirk it anymore, and said in his heart that this son-in-law is definitely a loyal minister, so many good things, he is in a hurry to post money, this is changing the law to help the treasury save money."
Okay, yes, the urban transformation plan, the ministers are discussing it at the end, and the money can't be borne by you alone, and then the six departments and yamen will send people to cooperate with you, which is a good thing, but you must be cautious when implementing it, and you can't let the people complain."
Li Er nodded.Du Shaoqing smiled and won so many projects, his heart was already happy, the imperial court took the initiative to help take charge of the demolition, and it was difficult for him, a real estate tycoon, to be underdeveloped."
Don't rush back, it's just so that you're here, let's draw a full-body portrait of me before leaving."
Li Er stopped Du Shaoqing, who was about to leave.Du Shaoqing's scalp is numb, how can he ask for paintings wherever he goes?
My poems are good, why doesn't anyone ask for poems?"
Next time, I'm too busy to get out of today."
He refused, in fact, he was afraid that if he met some familiar ministers to discuss matters in a while, he would also give him the painting, and I was afraid that he would not be able to leave the council hall today.Sure enough, what do you want to do, as soon as the words fell, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji and others came together, talking about the urban transformation plan, Du Shaoqing had a flower in front of him, it was over, he couldn't go back today, so he shouldn't get up early and enter the palace so actively.
