Tang Xuanzong was very dissatisfied.
This is the second time Tianjuan has mentioned this matter. Last time, Tianjuan said that a man named An Lushan would rebel, but he checked later and found no such person at all.
He also said that he would marry his son's wife and make her a concubine. So since Tianjuan said this, he felt that the way his son and daughter-in-law looked at him at the family dinner was wrong.
Later, there were many times when his sons came to the banquet by themselves and no longer brought their families with them.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything.
In addition, Tianjuan also said that he would be forced to become the Supreme Emperor in the future. He felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about how the following sons would do such disrespectful things in the future.
So much so that he rarely holds family dinners recently. Even the joy and satisfaction brought by Taishan Fengchan last year are a little less.
Finally, he has calmed down a bit recently, and his son, daughter-in-law, and concubines no longer look at him so strangely, but Tianjuan said this again today. How can he be convinced that he turned the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline?
Tianjuan's words were unclear, but he was left to guess, causing discord in his clan and suspicion in the harem. It was really hateful.
So he couldn't bear it anymore and immediately posted a barrage.
[V@虎头 snaketail Li Sanlang: What are you talking about? Under my rule, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. How could it turn from prosperity to decline? 】
After posting this, he felt still angry, so he endured the pain of deducting points and posted another one:
[V@虎头 Snaketail Li Sanlang: I checked, and there is none at all. An Lushan, why are you talking nonsense! 】
There is no such person as An Lushan?
Lei Xiaomeng thought about it and seemed to remember seeing it when checking information before. An Lushan was an orphan. He became a godson to the governor of Youzhou, and then he rose to prominence.
Moreover, he was already very old when he became the godson of Youzhou Jiedu Envoy. He seemed to be thirty years old.
However, An Lushan is famous, and even if this "Li Sanlang" is a cosplayer, he must have some historical knowledge.
Why is there no such person as An Lushan? This is nonsense, okay?
Lei Xiaomeng was about to reply to him, but before she could reply, she saw several more barrages floating above the video.
【@ANGSTEROUS OLD UNCLE: Tianjuan is not talking nonsense, An Lushan is a sinister and cunning person, do we have to guard against him? 】
[@子公Cruel old father: This kid just accepted his godfather and godmother everywhere to help him rise to prominence. Later, he even recognized a concubine in her twenties as his godmother. Otherwise, why would you trust him so much? 】
[V@天下人大智: The love between your Excellency and your concubine can be regarded as a good story. Riding on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew it was lychee. This poem has been passed down through the ages, and it is the testimony of your love for your concubine. 】
[@axe光甹影皇太帝: An Lushan is a rough man, but there is a subtlety in his roughness, and he is the best at flattering people. Otherwise, he would not have reviewed the Jiedu envoys of the three towns later. On the contrary, The Tang Dynasty. 】
【@Shiquan old man graffiti monster: How do you compare with Emperor Taizong? If I were you, I would be ashamed to enter the imperial mausoleum. It is a pity that the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty ended at your hands. It is really a lesson for future emperors of our generation! 】
Well, it seems there is no need for her to reply, her fans have all replied for her.
Now Lei Xiaomeng saves the trouble and directly likes these posts. And it wasn't just her, she saw that these posts received a lot of likes.
Except for "Big Smart" who only received two, the others also received at least four likes.
This wave of barrages was so lively that other emperors before Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty were also dazzled and itchy in their hearts. Some emperors even found new ideas from this barrage.
It must be said that as an emperor, his average IQ level is higher than others.
After this wave of barrages, another barrage appeared on the video.
[V@Super IQ patient with severe secondary disease: Is this @anxious old uncle the ancestor Yongle the Great? Make several copies of your treasure ship's drawings, as well as your voyage diary, and save them in multiple places to avoid losing them in the future. 】
After a while, the anxious old uncle also sent a barrage.
[@ANGSTERED OLD UNCLE: You’re a Zhengde boy, right? I’ll ask them to make a few more backups for you. But you have to work hard, don't die too early, you hear me! 】
Aha! The two great-great-grandchildren still chatted.
Good, good, this will increase the popularity of her live broadcast room.
What is the group leader's biggest fear? Isn't it that no one in the group can talk?
The same goes for videos. The biggest fear is that they will not be popular. Once the popularity increases, the popularity of the live broadcast room will naturally increase slowly.
Suddenly, Lei Xiaomeng felt that he should create a group for these fans who love to talk, or for V users, so that everyone can communicate more freely.
Although the barrage on the video is very lively. But the original inventory is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Tang Xuanzong's Anshi Rebellion was only mentioned once, and then returned to Song Renzong.
[Although Zhao Kuangyin’s method was remarkable when it was first implemented. However, by the time of Renzong, it had been sixty or seventy years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and this method had become overcorrected. 】
【Due to the remote control of the emperor's generals, there is often a situation where "the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals". 】
【The command lag and failure caused by this situation will lead to the failure of many wars due to improper command. 】
The general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals?
What kind of war is this?
Looking at this sentence, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty found it difficult to understand. The emperors after the Song Dynasty, especially the emperors in the early Ming Dynasty, scorned it.
Otherwise, how do you think the Song Dynasty fell?
Speaking of which, the economy of the Song Dynasty was indeed good, but it was too weak.
It would be nice to think of Grandma saying before that her ability to make money is half as good as her ability to fight.
Zhu Yuanzhang was indignant.
So what if you can make money, you will end up giving away a lot of gold and silver to foreigners.
Being rich but unable to protect yourself is just meat on someone else’s chopping board!
Instead of doing this, it is better to make yourself stronger and rob others!
[At this time, Song Renzong had already realized this shortcoming, and highly praised the "Guizhi Bian" mentioned in this military book, which originated from the ideological theories in "The Art of War" and other military books. 】
【From this point of view, Song Renzong is undoubtedly extremely wise and calm, and he even foresees the situation that the Song Army will face in the future. 】
[So, if from this time on, if the ideas and theories embodied in this book are used well, let alone the Liao Kingdom and Xixia, even the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols will not invade the Central Plains as they did later. No one's land. 】
【What a pity. Until the end of Renzong's reign in the Song Dynasty, there had never been any major wars. First of all, it was with the old enemy Liao in the north. The two countries held peace talks, and the Song Dynasty increased the annual coins to the Liao. For this reason, the two countries were at peace with each other for more than half a century. 】
【Later, when Xixia was founded, the Song Dynasty did fight several battles with Li Yuanhao of Xixia. However, although Xixia had more victories than fewer defeats, it was never able to truly invade the Song Dynasty. 】
【So later, because the Song Dynasty had a prosperous economy and the country was rich, it had money to continue to support the continuation of the war. On the contrary, Xixia was unable to allocate money for the war because the country was small and poor. Therefore, we can only negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty and become ministers again. 】
[Of course, there are benefits to not fighting anymore. The Song Dynasty still allocated annual coins to Xixia just like it did to other vassal countries. Although the two countries still had small-scale frictions later, they can be regarded as Basically everything is fine. 】
[So throughout Song Renzong's reign, he spent money to buy peace. But Lin Lin finally managed to get it down, and it was much less than what he spent in the war, so it was considered a good deal. 】
【So, although the book "Martial Arts General Essentials" was a very advanced martial arts textbook in the world at that time, many generals also studied this book. But after all, the theory in the book was not of much use for half a century. 】
【After Song Renzong, many emperors forgot about this book, let alone paid attention to it. Nature let it submerge in the long years. 】
【Until the end, when external insults came, few people could think of this long-forgotten masterpiece. So in the end, the mountains and rivers withered, external humiliation was rampant, and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed! 】
It turns out that it was just talk on paper!
What a shame for such a great book.
As Tianjuan introduced the "Martial Classics Summary" step by step, Zhu Houzhao gradually remembered the fragments of memories about this book.
He seemed to remember that in the years before his father's death, he wanted to reprint and revise some of the books in the inner study, which seemed to include this set of "Martial Classics General Essentials".
Otherwise, he would not have been able to see this set of books from hundreds of years ago in the inner study so easily.
However, it is said that this set of books is no longer the one that Song Renzong first supervised and presided over the compilation of. After the Jin soldiers occupied Bianjing, the original copies of this set of books were burned.
The set of books currently in Ouchi's collection were reprinted from copies after the Song Dynasty's southern migration.
Because it has been placed in the corner of the palace for too long, it has been eaten by rats and insects for hundreds of years after three dynasties, and some pages are even missing.
The book he turned over a few years ago seemed relatively new, and it should be the part that his father had already turned over and engraved.
It's a pity that after his father died, he got angry with the old ministers and rarely went to the study room. He even put many useful things in the leopard room. Because he was not interested in this set of books, he Didn't take it.
Naturally, the matter of reprinting this set of books was forgotten.
Now that he thinks about it, if this set of books is really so useful, it's not impossible for him to continue to carry out his father's unfinished business.
Those old ministers must be very happy, thinking that he can finally do something serious!
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips thinking of this.
Let them think whatever they like. He will be a general in the future anyway. It would be good to read more military books. He wanted to show them that he was like Chengzu, who could calm down the world and rule the country and the people.
By the way, now we have to add another one, go to sea to defeat the Japanese invaders.
No matter what, first find the blueprint of the treasure ship, and Zheng Sanbao's ship log.
He didn't believe that books from the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago could still be found in Ouchi's study, but the drawings from decades ago were just gone?
Even the ship's logbook is gone.
How could such a coincidence happen?
Unless someone doesn’t want the imperial fleet to go to sea!
But why don't these people want the imperial fleet to go to sea?
In addition to Zhu Houzhao, there is also Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although he felt that the Song Dynasty was weak and resentful, he had already heard about the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. Even after the Song Dynasty moved south, it was still rich for a while.
You can even spend money to buy peace, and it is more cost-effective than fighting. How could this make him, the Hongwu Emperor, who was looking for money everywhere to raise military supplies, feel embarrassed?
Is it possible that people from the old Zhao family are better at making money than people from the old Zhu family?
This time he decided to open the International Trade Department. He also asked people to take a look at the trade volume of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty before the sea ban.
Because in the years before and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, the overseas trade volume did not exceed one hundred thousand guan, which was really not a pain to the entire country's finances.
So, even before the Tatars were driven out of the Central Plains, Meng Yuan was already implementing the policy of banning the sea.
Therefore, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when he could no longer be harassed by the Japanese, in order to save manpower and energy, he closed the sea and concentrated on dealing with the Mongols who were still eyeing the Central Plains.
Looking at the account book presented by the Minister of Revenue in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him: "Are you sure that before the sea ban, our Ming Dynasty's annual overseas trade really only amounted to a mere tens of thousands of guan?"
[Okay. , "Wu Jing Zong Yao" and the two major inventions recorded in this book, let's talk about this much first. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, another great invention that really appeared at this time was movable type printing. 】
[During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng, a commoner, invented movable type printing based on woodblock printing. This invention can be said to be hundreds of years ahead of overseas development. 】
【I think everyone knows about woodblock printing, which is to engrave the content of a page of book on a board and then apply ink for printing. 】
Movable type, printing?
What is printing?
Hearing this word, Ying Zheng felt a little familiar, but suddenly he couldn't understand it.
Book?
Aren’t books carved on bamboo pieces to form bamboo slips? Could it be written with ink instead of engraved?
If you do this for a long time, won’t the ink stains disappear?
Could it be printed on silk?
In this case, how much will the book cost?
No, he remembered, it was paper! It was the paper made using the papermaking technique that Grandma showed him before. There is also printing in the secret book.
He always thought of using paper to write memorials, but he forgot that this paper can also be used to print books!
Ying Zheng was feeling excited in his heart when he heard a "boom". He looked around hurriedly and saw that the "artillery" he had just ordered to be fired had already thrown gunpowder more than ten feet away.
This time the craftsmen added a fuse wrapped with gunpowder to the gunpowder barrel. Some fuzes are long and some have short fuzes. He had already launched several barrels with too short fuses before they exploded in the air before reaching the designated location.
Some of the fuses were too long and did not explode when they hit the ground. Some even smashed the lit fuses and failed to explode in the end.
Only this one, the timing and length of the fuse were just right, and it exploded just as it reached the target location.
“Write down the length and range of the fuse!” Ying Zheng ordered, “Try again!”
“Here!” The scribe responded and immediately took out a bamboo stick. Write down the relevant data.
Because of the importance of the Heavenly Scroll, Ying Zheng asked them to record the relevant contents on silk. As for the rest, scribes still need to use bamboo slips.
So, if this printing and papermaking technology were used together in his great Qin...
Qin Shihuang's eyes suddenly became bright.
[Although this method has met the basic requirements of printing, if one wrong word is engraved on the entire board, the board will be completely useless and will need to be re-engraved. 】
【This also leads to an increase in the cost of printing. Generally, students from poor families cannot afford books at all and can only copy books by hand or borrow books to read. 】
For a moment, Qin Shihuang wanted to read the contents recorded in the heavenly scroll again immediately.
Before, he only glanced at gunpowder and papermaking, and only glanced at printing without studying it in depth.
So, this is called printing? Or letterpress printing!
[However, after Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, you only need to prepare a library of engraved characters in advance before printing. For commonly used characters, just engraving a few more is enough. . 】
【And it can be typeset and printed at any time, which increases the efficiency several times. 】
At this moment, a barrage appeared at the top of the video:
[V@ unified Liuhe Wanshou Wujiang Zulong Emperor: If we use this printing and papermaking technology, can I also print books on paper? 】
Finally, His Majesty the First Emperor couldn't bear it anymore and immediately sent out a barrage of questions.
How to answer this? If it is the Qin Dynasty, it is true that there is no paper that can be written on. This "His Majesty Zulong" is as engaging as the previous "Li Sanlang".
But in view of the overwhelming admiration for the great "His Majesty Zulong", Lei Xiaomeng still replied honestly:
[Of course, there is no technical difficulty in this. It can also be achieved in your era. With the advent of paper, books no longer exist in the form of bulky bamboo slips. More lightweight and easier to store. You no longer need to use a carriage to drag bamboo slips around when you go on tour! 】
After Lei Xiaomeng finished answering, he gave a like. But obviously, "Your Majesty Zulong" is very popular. Not only did she reply to his barrage, but other fans also volunteered to answer his questions.
[@ANGSTERED OLD UNCLE: His Majesty the First Emperor? Is he really His Majesty the First Emperor? Paper was invented later and was very useful, but not yet in the Qin Dynasty. 】
【@子公Cruel old father: Qin Shihuang? I have finally met a real person. Paper, it became very common later, but you didn’t have it at that time! Hahaha, you didn’t have anything at that time. After all, it was almost two thousand years ago. 】
【@ The Pig Man Who Wants to Build a Golden House: Qin Shihuang? It is said that later generations will refer to you and me as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, and I am honored to do so! I know that paper was invented not long ago in my country. But it’s probably not very common, and it’s also very expensive. I can't bear to use it! 】
[V@xiaoyaosanrenyuzhenxianzi: The First Emperor? His Majesty the First Emperor! Eight feet tall handsome man, ah ah ah, I saw the real person! 】
[V@李三郎: His Majesty the First Emperor? Nice to meet you! 】
【V@ exhausted Li Erlang: King Qin Yingzheng, His Majesty the First Emperor? It will be a blessing to meet you once in three lifetimes! 】
[V@The world is wise: His Majesty the First Emperor! I heard that you never established a queen? Is this true? 】
[V@Super IQ patient with severe secondary disease: Qin Shihuang. It is said that Xu Fu also built a big ship when he went to sea. Can it be compared with the treasure ship? 】
[@ the end of the road Liu Tingchang: King Qin, I will definitely make you regret it! I will build the Han Dynasty in the future! 】
[V@Shiquan old man graffiti monster: His Majesty the First Emperor? Is it really you? The paper issue is not important, you can’t see it anyway! Pay attention to the issue of heirs. You will die in your second life! 】
Lei Xiaomeng really didn't expect that "His Majesty Zulong" would be so popular. Almost half of the fans who had spoken before took the initiative to reply. As a result, the barrage was so densely packed that it almost covered the top screen of the video.
So much so that Tianjuan's narration seemed a little weak under the cover of these barrages.
[For this reason, since then, the cultural level of the Song Dynasty has increased exponentially. After all, after the advent of movable type printing, the cost of book printing became increasingly cheaper. 】
[This also means that more and more people can afford to read, buy and read books. This also led to an explosive growth in the level of literature and art in the Song Dynasty. 】
【From this point of view, just talk about this point. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, six of the eight great families of the Tang and Song Dynasties appeared. It is not without reason! 】
However, in fact, there are still fans who care about business.
As the video comes to an end, in the beautiful background sound, the video inserts some shots of the application of movable type printing, as well as relevant shots of modern printing machines printing newspapers and other related text materials.
There are still fans who are paying attention to the direction of the video.
[V@寇 exhausted Li Erlang: Does this movable type printing also use woodblock printing? Are the wooden boards cut directly into small characters and then re-typesetting and printing? 】
Lei Xiaomeng immediately replied:
[Of course not. If you use a wooden board to make movable type, once the wooden board is stained with ink, it will be uneven because it is not on a wooden board. 】
【Perhaps this is the reason why craftsmen have not been able to further develop printing technology after so many years of engraving and printing! 】
[Although Bi Sheng also used wooden boards to carve the fonts at the beginning, he later discovered this problem and switched to clay, which immediately solved the problem. 】
"Clay?" With just these two words, Li Shimin was enlightened. He understood immediately and ordered his left and right, "Go, go to the Ministry of Industry immediately and try to use clay to make traps."
"Yes!" After hearing this, the attendant immediately took the order and left.
At this time, Li Shimin felt refreshed and extremely happy.
After listening to Tianjuan for so long, apart from learning many subsequent historical events, this was his biggest gain.
If the moveable printing technique was really promoted at this time, wouldn't it be another great scene in the Tang Dynasty?
He felt very happy when he thought that everyone could buy and read books.
The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Sixth of the Song Dynasty?
Oh, with this letterpress printing. By then there will be no more Eight Great Families of the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, he could produce eight great families. No, it was possible to produce eighteen great families!
Not only him, Tang Xuanzong was in a daze after hearing Tianjuan talk about the Anshi Rebellion.
At this moment, he was reminded by his ancestor, and he immediately ordered Gao Lishi next to him: "Go and find a craftsman to make a trap with clay. We really want to make the scholars of the Tang Dynasty able to read books."
"Yes!" Gao Lishi responded and quickly stepped back to give orders.
Tang Xuanzong looked at Tianjuan indignantly.
Hmph, saying that I married my own daughter-in-law caused the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline!
Now that I know it, I will never let this happen!
Tianjuan, let’s wait and see!
