Han Dao world

She was suddenly asked to manage a weaving workshop, which was larger than the printing workshop she saw today, and she had no confidence.

Xun Wenqian could see clearly, and offered to help Fushou.It is enough for Yinfang to have Mrs. Tang, but it would be the same without her.

Fu Shou also thought it was feasible, so he made a rare request to Liu Xie.

Although Liu Xie was a little surprised, he readily agreed.

Whether it is the printing workshop or the weaving workshop, they are all in charge of it for the time being. It is considered to be an experience of life, and it is impossible to stay in Wancheng forever.

Most people who have experienced practice have a certain degree of immunity to empty talk about morality.Only those who have never done anything will speak out loudly, saying "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish", thinking that other people can't do it, as long as they take action themselves, prosperity will come.

Liu Xie then briefly explained the situation to them.

In his plan, Nanyang will be an important town in Jingzhou, just like Handan is in Jizhou.The silk from the south of the Yangtze River will be concentrated in Nanyang, and then sent to the Western Regions.

Nanyang's status as an imperial township is gone, but its status as a commercial center will continue and be further strengthened.

Wancheng used to be an important industrial and commercial town, but most of the profits were taken away by aristocratic and wealthy families, and the imperial court had limited gains.Now the imperial court has the entire Nanyang in its pocket, and these industrial and commercial profits will become the imperial court's income and will be the main source of funds for the imperial court's development of the south in the next few decades.

To put it simply, whether Nanyang can develop well or not is related to the fate of the country after a hundred years of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, everyone's efforts are contributing to the great man a hundred years later.

Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian couldn't fully understand what Liu Xie said, but they were still interested in the opportunity to make some contributions to the great man and future generations.

In particular, Fu Shou and Liu Xie have experienced the dilemma of being controlled by others, and even having to be given by others for food, and they are more enthusiastic about self-reliance and changing their destiny.

She didn't want her future descendants to fall to that point.

Looking at Fushou who was highly motivated and even a little excited, Liu Xie secretly sighed, regretting that he hadn't arranged it earlier.

In the final analysis, she is still a young woman who has just turned 20 years old, with boundless vigor and energy, it is too wasteful to keep her in the harem every day.

Song Zhong didn't see the queen, so he turned to meet Situ Yang Biao.

Yang Biao is very busy.He waited in the front yard for a long time, and did not see Yang Biao himself until the sun went down.

After seeing the ceremony, before he could exchange greetings, Yang Biao asked a question with a grim expression.

"I heard that the county school has a portrait of me, Yang?"

Song Zhong didn't notice Yang Biao's tone for a while, thinking that he was tired from a busy day of official duties, so he quickly smiled and said: "It is true. According to the conclusions of all the sages, Yang Gong and twenty former eunuchs were selected as the Nanyang Xianjun, painting and carving stones, as a commemoration."

"When did it happen? When I was in office, I never saw such an inscription."

"It was just finished half a year ago." Song Zhong smiled brighter.

Yang Biao looked at Song Zhong, his brows became more and more wrinkled. "I would like to ask Jijiu to help me."

"How dare, how dare, I ask Duke Yang to order."

"Please remove Yang's portrait." Yang Biao said lightly: "Although Yang has no great talent and virtue, he has self-knowledge. I have been in Nanyang for a short time, and I have not had good governance. .”

"This..." Song Zhong was suddenly dumbfounded.

He looked at Yang Biao, swallowed, and swallowed the reason for his explanation.

He could see that Yang Biao didn't seem to be pretending to be modest, his eyes were serious.

However, as the initiator and main promoter of this matter, he is very clear.If Yang Biao is absent due to his short tenure and lack of real good governance, half of the portraits still eligible to be left on the wall remain at most.

What's more terrible is that the rubbings have been delivered to the emperor.

If the emperor or queen came to the county school one day and found that the portrait on the wall did not match the rubbings, would he be convicted of deceiving the emperor?

"Let's leave this matter to the sacrifice." Yang Biao didn't give Song Zhong a chance to explain, he made a conclusion directly, and then asked another question. "How many students have Nanyang County School trained over the years? What are they doing?"

Speaking of these, Song Zhong immediately regained his energy and talked about the young talents in the county school.

When he came to see Yang Biao, he also had the purpose of recommending students to become officials.If someone is selected by the Situ Mansion, it will be a rare story no matter whether he goes to the post in the end or not.

Song Zhong talked about several people in a row, but Yang Biao didn't say anything, but his face became more and more ugly.

Song Zhong's mood sank again, and he looked at Yang Biao anxiously.

Yang Biao cleared his throat and relaxed his frown.

"Jijiu, have you heard of Mi Heng?"

Song Zhong froze for a moment, then shook his head. "Forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of such a person in Shilin. Your surname is very rare. If I have heard of it, I will definitely remember it."

Yang Biao sighed.This person is only suitable for learning, even Shi Tufu, the head of the Situ House, doesn't know who he is, so why bother to participate in political affairs and complain for Liu Biao.

Don't you know how much trouble Liu Biao has?

"He is from the Qingzhou Plain, and he was appreciated by Kong Wenju. He went to Chang'an together as a friend of Wangnian. Now he is the governor of Situ's residence and is in charge of related affairs in Guanzhong."

Song Zhong immediately blushed.

Being appreciated by Kong Rong shows that Mi Heng is talented.Being able to become the head of the Situ Mansion Liufu shows that Cheng Heng is capable.For such a person, he didn't know that ignorance is not modesty at all, but the truth.

Yang Biao gave a general introduction to Mi Heng's situation, then introduced Kong Rong's own situation, and finally mentioned Wang Lang incidentally.

Kong Rong is going to Mobei, and in his sixtieth year, he braved the wind and snow to look for the survivors of the Shang Dynasty.

Wang Lang has been in the military camp in Guanzhong, educating the soldiers.Now there are not only [-], but [-] soldiers who have been taught by him.The Liangzhou soldiers were able to change their barbaric habits and protect one side, Wang Lang deserved credit.

So, what did Nanyang County Academy do?

General Hussars has been stationed in Nanyang for several years. How many of you have taught in the army?

In addition to learning, how many children of ordinary people have you taught?The prefect's mansion allocates so much money and food every year, what have you done in return?

To engrave a monument for the former prefect?

Although Yang Biao tried his best to control his tone, the series of questions made Song Zhong sweat profusely, his face turned red and then turned pale, and even his palms were sweaty.

He could feel that Yang Biao was very angry and dissatisfied with Nanyang County School.

This also shows that Yang Biao has been in Wancheng for so long, and he has not gone to Nanyang County, which is a few steps away, to study. It is not accidental, but deliberate.

He didn't want to have anything to do with Nanyang County School, nor did he want to see his own portrait.

This made Song Zhong very disturbed.

After all, the emperor and queen are young, so it is inevitable that they will be impulsive.Yang Biao is a veteran, and a long-time Confucian from a Confucian family.He is so dissatisfied with Nanyang Junxue, which shows that what Nanyang Junxue has done has run counter to the court.

So, is the court wrong, or is Nanyang County learning wrong?

Chapter 1042

Song Zhong was frustrated and distressed.

Being criticized by Yang Biao is secondary, how to solve the portrait is the most troublesome thing.

If you want to get rid of Yang Biao, you can't just get rid of Yang Biao, you can only get rid of them all.The second thing is to spend money in vain, the key is to lose face.

They spent a lot of thought to select these people. They originally wanted to show the value of benevolent government to the court and support Liu Biao. However, before the emperor and empress came to see him, they removed them on their own.

Isn't this humiliating?

Song Zhong was not reconciled, but he didn't have the courage to directly reject Yang Biao.His knowledge is good, but his xinxing has not been cultivated to the point where he is mighty and unyielding.

After leaving the temporary Situ Mansion, Song Zhong returned to the county school in a daze.

Qi Wukai and others were invited to discuss, but everyone was at a loss as to what Yang Biao meant.

It is said that the emperor does not like it, but it does not seem to be like it.

Firstly, as a veteran minister, Yang Biao is not the only one who inherits the family tradition.

Secondly, although the emperor and empress did not come, they wanted to print and publish the "Five Chapters" co-authored with Liu Biao as the first work of Nanyang Yinfang.

Based on these two reasons, it is very reluctant to say that Yang Biao's request to remove the portrait was due to pressure from the emperor.Rather than saying that, it is better to say that Yang Biao has a high moral character and is unwilling to seek fame.

To fully understand this matter, it is not enough to just ask Yang Biao—Yang Biao is also a party involved, so he will inevitably have scruples—it is better to ask the Queen.

If the Queen also says that the portraits are inappropriate, then so be it.If the queen didn't say that, it means it was a false alarm, so there is no need to scare yourself.

After repeated discussions, Song Zhong also felt that it was reasonable, and decided to go again in two days.

-

Song Zhong went several times in a row, but he didn't see Fushou.

Fu Shou has been very busy recently.

She has been in the palace for nearly ten years and has been a queen for several years. It is the first time that she has such a large amount of real power and manages so many people and money. She is somewhat excited.

With the assistance of Xun Wenqian, all affairs were handled in an orderly manner, which was not only praised by the officials who prepared the weaving workshop, but also praised by Liu Xie.

One of the biggest achievements is that the officials saw that the queen presided over the weaving workshop in person, and felt that the emperor attached great importance to the Nanyang weaving workshop, so they mobilized their wives and daughters to participate and perform actively.

What the queen can do, you can't do?

All of a sudden, countless women who didn't leave the door and didn't step out of the boudoir walked out of the boudoir to participate in the fiery construction, and the morale of the people changed.

This further made Fushou realize that she could do more for the emperor, even surpassing Xun Wenqian.

There are many nobles, but only one queen.

Inspired by the excitement, Fu Shou left early and returned late, without giving Song Zhong a chance to see him.

Mrs. Tang was the most proficient in business, and the printing workshop was quickly completed, and the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" entered the stage of engraving and sample production, and the sample sheets were sent to Nanyang County as soon as possible.

Song Zhong, Qi Wukai and others felt an inexplicable sense of excitement when they saw their works turned into exquisite prints.This kind of feeling is not seen when reading other people's works, and can only be realized by experiencing it personally.

But the news that followed turned their excitement into panic.

The Son of Heaven has ordered that after the "Five Chapters of Sutras", there will be a record of the Nanyang prefect, based on the 21 portraits of Nanyang County School, to complement other people, and to make a detailed introduction as much as possible.

Song Zhong panicked all of a sudden.

If this is printed and published for everyone to see, it will inevitably cause controversy.Not to mention that the descendants of the prefects who were not elected will not let go, and they may not be satisfied if they are elected.

The most typical example is Yang Biao.

If Yang Biao didn’t give face and publicly stated that he was unwilling to be selected, more people would inevitably say that he was “unworthy”, and then this book would become evidence that he failed to cling to the powerful and was slapped in the face, making the world laugh.

Song Zhong had no choice but to ask someone to come forward, asking Mrs. Tang to slow down the progress, and at the same time begged to see Fushou again, hoping that the queen could intervene and prevent the collection and publication of the eunuch's portrait.

When it was dark, Song Zhong finally saw Fushou.

Fu Shou was very polite, and when he learned that Song Zhong hadn't had dinner, he gave him food immediately.

Song Zhong was very grateful, and felt that the queen came from a Confucian family after all, she was very considerate in etiquette, and had a good attitude towards Confucian scholars, so this trip should not be in vain.

After dinner, Fushou immediately summoned Song Zhong.

When seeing the ceremony, Song Zhong saw a manuscript on the case in front of Fushou at a glance, which was the rubbings he had provided before.The difference is only a thick stack, much more than the rubbings he provided.

After taking his seat, Fu Shou said with a smile: "Jijiu not only has profound knowledge, but also cares about current affairs and puts what he has learned into practice. The emperor is very happy, and I am also very satisfied."

Song Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and repeatedly bowed his hands, claiming he didn't dare.

"After the Son of Heaven saw these portraits, he looked at them again and again. While he was satisfied, he also felt a little regretful. It is naturally good to draw the shapes of sages for the admiration of future generations. It's a pity."

Song Zhong's face turned pale, and he was sweating in fits and starts, his smile was even more embarrassing.

Taking pictures for the sages has already caused a lot of trouble, and if you take pictures for the unworthy, the Nanyang County School will probably be burned.

Seeing that Song Zhong's face was not right, Fu Shou asked with concern: "Jijiu, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, no, minister..." Song Zhong gritted his teeth and left the table to bow down. "I am ashamed. I came to disturb Your Highness today because I want to ask His Highness to cancel the decision and not to print these portraits."

Fu Shou raised her eyebrows lightly, and patted the rubbings and manuscripts with her hands.

"Why?"

"These portraits... were made in a hurry, and the candidates were not good enough."

Fu Shou's face darkened, a little unhappy. "The stele has already been engraved, so you said that the production was rushed and the candidates were not suitable enough?"

"The minister is rebellious and has lost his consideration. Please allow some time, Your Highness, for Rong Chen to consider."

Fu Shou nodded. "Since you want to think about it again, then this manuscript will be left here for the time being. After you think about it, I will compare it and see what exactly was considered in the sacrificial wine."

Song Zhong was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he asked to leave.

In any case, the purpose of preventing the publication of this collection of portraits has been achieved.

After sending Song Zhong away, Fu Shou looked through the rubbings and supplementary materials on the overturned desk again, frowning slightly. "Song Zhong is also a learned scholar, why would he do such a thing?"

Daqiao smiled and said, "Your Highness, not all great Confucian scholars are as clean as Shaofu. Although Liu Biao was an incompetent official, he kept a safe place when he was in Jingzhou, so that Song Zhongren could have a place in the troubled times. They are grateful to Liu Biao, too. It's reasonable. It's just that the approach was a little thoughtless."
