Chapter 555: The Great Confucian Falls
"The children of Dunhuafang are so lucky..."
When he walked into the primary school in Dunhuafang, Yu Zhining, who was on the side, sighed first. To be honest, Li You's Dunhuafang primary school really made the five people present show a look of yearning.
Because Li You's primary school integrates modern schools, not only can it combine education and entertainment, but its biggest feature is that it can integrate children together.
"Yes... If we could have studied in this school, what kind of situation would it be?" Yan Xianghe smiled slightly.
"We are all ourselves in our studies. Although we have classmates, we rarely have contact with each other. So some of us are nerds, but if we want to study in this university, all our children can have their own communication after they come out.
This is something very good for scholars." Zhang Xuansu nodded slightly.
Speaking of which, the five people were highly respected and satisfied with Li You’s school. Li You took the five people to visit the school. After the school was visited, Li You took the five people to the office of the school’s teacher.
"Haha...is not bad..." Kong Yingda took the lead in expressing his love again.
"It's good...but, this time, His Highness of the King of Qi asked us to come over. We didn't just look at the new school that had just been completed, right?" Yu Zhining touched his beard and sat down.
"Of course it's impossible to just visit the school!" After Li You saw that all the five of them sat down, he also sat down.
"Hey... His Highness King Jin... We made a bet just now... His Highness King Jin, but His Highness King Qi has prepared a good thing for us. If we are not satisfied with this good thing, His Highness King Jin will copy a "Five Classics Justice"!" Zhang Xuansu searched for Li Zhi everywhere.
"Haha..." The other four people also laughed.
"I won't run away..." Du Zhenglun teased.
"I didn't run away..." At this moment, Li Zhi walked out from the side, and at this time, he was holding a roll of paper in Li Zhi's hand: "I'm bringing something for the masters...!"
"Hiss...! It's paper...! Oh, this paper is really good." Kong Yingda was very interested in paper. After seeing the paper in Li Zhi's hand, he quickly took a piece of paper and put it in his hand: "No, good, white and soft, soaked ink, delicate fibers, tough and flat... This is the best paper."
After Kong Yingda finished speaking, the other four people became interested in the paper in Li Zhi's hand at this time.
Yu Zhining was not inferior to that, so he quickly picked up a piece of paper and followed Li You and said with a smile: "My masters, the four treasures of the study are ready, please write as you like...!"
After Li You finished speaking, Yu Zhining started writing on the paper without saying a word. After writing about twenty words, Yu Zhining sighed: "The light painting is not gray, it is light and thick, it is thick and light. The poem has the atmosphere of mist and clouds, and the writing is a dragon and tiger posture. It is a good paper."
"Not bad, not bad..." Zhang Xuansu, Yan Xianghe and Du Zhenglun nodded together.
"Your Highness King Qi...what paper is this?" Kong Yingda asked.
Li You did not deliberately shake it cleverly, but said directly: "Master Kong, this kind of paper is called bamboo paper, which is what I learned in my dreams. Master Li Er knew that the Tang Dynasty paper was hard, so he specially passed on this bamboo paper. These bamboo papers are all made of tender bamboo. They have good texture, have long fibers, smooth and flexible, strong tension, cannot rub fur, easy to dry, ink marks, and will not be damaged for a long time.
It is an excellent calligraphy paper, genealogy, and temple scripture copying paper.
Moreover, as long as you find bamboo mountain, you can pick endless bamboo materials, unlike the current vine paper... There is not much more you use.
I found an excellent papermaking place in a mountain forest, with very rich bamboo forest resources, thick, flexible, smooth and high mountains and dense forests, abundant mountain spring water sources, and clear and clean mountain springs, which are ideal water for papermaking.
These papers are made there, and there will be a lot in the future, and the price is only one-fifth of that of the vine paper.”
"real...?"
A sentence that can be priced at four-fifths less than vine paper, which made several great scholars show a surprise expression. This vine paper... should be the best type of paper at this time. The rice paper has not yet appeared, and vine paper is the best.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was also Yanxi bordering Fenghua and Sheng, which was the upper reaches of Yujia. There were many ancient vines in the land... The paper made of this ancient vines was very good. The natives used it as paper, which is called Yanxi vines." Therefore, the paper was called "Vine Paper"
This thing is good. If you pick one piece of Yanxi vine, you will lose one piece, so the price is very expensive.
But it is not enough if you don’t use rattan paper, because the paper made from rattan paper is the best as a copying book and can be kept undamaged for a long time. If you exchange it for the paper and copy the good book, the paper will break quickly.
After knowing the price of bamboo paper, the five great scholars were very happy. Just as the five great scholars looked at bamboo paper happily, Li Zhi on the side laughed and said, "Five masters, this is a good thing. Do you want to copy my "Five Classics Justice"?"
"No need... This good thing is very good for us. Your Highness, King of Jin, I will give you a code this time." Zhang Xuansu laughed and continued, "But can I bring some home for me..."
"Brother Wang said, give as much as the masters want. Even if the masters fill a carriage of bamboo paper... But I'm worried that you don't want bamboo paper." Li Zhi smiled badly.
"How is it possible? We are not fools." Yan Xianghe smiled and shook his head, then took the last stack of bamboo paper from Li Zhi's hand: "Where are other bamboo papers... Let's load the carriage, and we must fill it up today."
"Haha..." Li You laughed. At this moment, Li Zhi walked to a place on the side and picked up a box, came to the side of the five great scholars and shouted: "Don't you want this..."
When Li Zhi opened the box and there were one book after another of the distinctively written "The Justice of the Five Classics" in it, Kong Yingda was stunned first. At this time, Kong Yingda was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Yu Zhining exclaimed, "This is "The Justice of the Five Classics"... Oh my God, this handwriting and this paper are not handwritten... And there are so many more, is this a whole "The Justice of the Five Classics"?"
Li You nodded with a smile: "One hundred and eighty volumes, not one volume, not one volume, not one volume, not one volume, it is indeed not hand-copying. It is too slow to copy a book. If you want to copy a book, one person will have to copy for more than half a year, and you also need the best copywriter.
It is too slow to be slow. Master Li Er said in his dream that the "Five Classics Justice" compiled by Kong Yingda is beneficial to the country and the people, and can guide the spirit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, which is worthy of commendation.
So I passed on a carving technique. According to Zhinu's oral statement, I found someone to carve the template. Although it took a little time, it took a very short time. And after the carving was completed, a "Five Classics Justice" totaled 180 volumes, and it only took half a day to complete it..."
"Half a day..." Kong Yingda excitedly looked at the "Five Classics Justice" in the box: "It's so good, it's really great. Thank you for your affirmation from the Supreme Master, thank you for your affirmation from the Supreme Master...!"
As he said that, Kong Yingda's eyes turned red and tears fell.
Yu Zhining, who was on the other hand, comforted him repeatedly, but Li Zhi came to Li You with some fear and looked at Li You with some confusion and asked, "What's the situation?"
Li You smiled at the corner of his mouth. What is this situation? Of course, he is so happy that he burst into tears. These great scholars are like stones in a pit, money, profit, power... you can't impress the other party.
They just love names, a name that can be passed down through the ages. "The Justice of the Five Classics" poured all the blood of Kong Yingda. That was the glory of his life, and he was greatly recognized, but he could not be circulated. This is the biggest pain in Kong Yingda's heart.
But now, with a printing technique, it allows Kong Yingda to see the hope that his hard work can be remembered forever. You said, how could he not be excited?
The other people were also envious, jealous and hated Kong Yingda, but at this moment, Li You said, "By the way... I have also carved a set of carved papers for Master Yu, Master Zhang, Master Yan and Master Du. Your masterpieces are all carved in a set of carved papers. You don't have that many of them, you can publish hundreds of copies in a day. I'll bring them to you later, and you can give them to others.
However, I hope to authorize your works to me, and I can give you free carvings and then sell them. For each book I sell, I will receive corresponding rewards.
I don’t know if the masters can agree to me.”
"Really..." Yu Zhining turned around and did not comfort Kong Yingda who was crying with joy. He came to Li You and said quickly and quickly: "Your Highness, King Qi, I will ask my servant to send me one of my works immediately. I don't want to pay you, you can print it. If you sell it, I will buy it. The printing specifications are only as good as Confucius Jijiu's "Justice of the Five Classics."
"So, so is me..." Zhang Xuansu, Du Zhenglun, and Yan Xianghe all came to Li You's side, and no one cared about the sad Kong Yingda.
Li You laughed at this time: "Masters... Please rest assured, I will print your works, and I will print them with all my strength. You can prepare all your works later and send them over. I will ask the carving master to help you carve them.
When the carving is finished, print it. My school will leave behind the works of all masters. Then I will set up a bookstore to sell the others. The price cannot be too high. After all, we have to consider the students in the world, but I will withdraw 10% of the profit. As the work costs of all masters, I hope the masters will write more good articles."
"Okay...good..." Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Zhang Xuansu, and Yan Xianghe all smiled happily, but he still couldn't escape the reputation...!
At this moment, Li You looked at Tie Yu not far away. Tie Yu received the look and hurriedly walked out.
