Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins
Chapter 104: Just Basic Exercises
When Su Dingfang walked to the entrance of the hall, Du He suddenly stopped him.
"General Su."
Su Dingfang stood still, turned around, clasped his fists and said, "Prince Consort Du, do you have any other instructions?"
Du He said with a straight face: "I'll give you two lines of poetry."
"Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you."
Boom!
The two lines of poetry were like a thunder, exploding in Su Dingfang's heart.
Du He's image at this moment is so tall in his heart.
Su Dingfang's eyes turned slightly red, and unconsciously became a little moist.
"Your Highness, Prince Consort Du, I will never forget your kindness. I will repay your Highness with my death!"
After saying this, Su Dingfang kowtowed to Li Chengqian and then walked away with big strides.
"Papa~"
"What a poem!"
"As expected of the God of Literature and Art who has descended to the earth."
Li Chengqian clapped his hands and exclaimed in surprise.
A few days ago, Du He gave Duke Weiguo a good poem, and unexpectedly he recited two good poems today.
His number one military advisor was becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand.
Du He was reciting the poem "Farewell to Dong Da" by the great Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi. Judging from the time, this great poet should not have been born yet.
Well, just take it and use it, and feel at ease.
Du He waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, it's just a basic exercise for him to speak in poetry. Don't be surprised."
Without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, Du He asked curiously.
"Your Highness, Xi Junmai is also the commander-in-chief of the army. Doesn't he have to train the troops?"
Donggong Qianniu only has a few hundred men under his command. Even if all of them were taken to Liaodong, they would not be of much use.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "According to the discussion of the generals, Xi Junmai will lead 4000 infantrymen."
"Among them, 100 are the Eastern Palace Qianniu Guards, and the remaining 3900 are newly recruited soldiers."
Now Zhang Shigui is recruiting soldiers in Hedong Road, Henan Road and Hebei Road. After the recruitment is completed, the new recruits will be transferred to the accounts of various marching generals to receive their systematic training.
Du He nodded: "I see."
By disbanding the 100 Donggong Qianniu guards who had been on the battlefield and had rich combat experience and letting them serve as team leaders, they could barely lead this team of new recruits.
Moreover, these new recruits are all from the civilian population. Once we train them, they will become our own people in the future.
Speaking of new recruits, Du He's mind came to the white-robed god of war Xue Rengui.
So he asked Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, how should the newly recruited soldiers be assigned?"
"It should be randomly assigned. They are all new recruits, so there is no difference."
Li Chengqian said nonchalantly.
In his eyes, these newly recruited soldiers would not make much progress even after several months of training.
Having never been to the battlefield and seen blood, there is no comparison between me and those veterans.
Du He frowned and said, "Your Highness, look at the recruitment situation and try to assign all the new recruits from Hedong Road to Xi Jun."
"Why?"
"I feel that Hedong Dao will produce a powerful general this time!"
"Uh~"
Li Chengqian was stunned.
Why does this fantastic reason sound so unbelievable?
But he didn't dwell on it any further.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, I will write a letter now and send it to Zhang Shigui."
Li Chengqian immediately went back to the desk, dipped his pen in ink, spread out a piece of rice paper and started writing.
In a moment, a simple letter was written.
Li Chengqian took out his seal, dipped it in red ink, and stamped heavily on it.
Then Li Chengqian shouted to his guards, "Come here, seal this letter and send it to the Weizhou governor's mansion, and give it to the Right Guard General Zhang Shigui."
"Follow the order."
The personal soldier who ran in from outside took the letter and left quickly.
Zhang Shigui set up the recruitment camp in the Weizhou Governor's Office, which was able to take care of the three places of Hedong Road, Henan Road and Hebei Road.
Seeing Li Chengqian act so swiftly, Du He bowed to him and praised him, "Your Highness is really quick!"
"That's nothing. I can be even faster."
"Uh~"
Du He's mouth twitched.
While the two were joking, the voice of the personal guards reporting was heard again outside the hall door.
"Your Highness, Prince Consort Du, and Liao Jun, the scholar who teaches at Chongwen Hall, please go to Chongwen Hall."
"Okay, I'll go over now."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, his face was full of joy.
He patted Du He on the shoulder and said, "Du He, the commonly used wooden movable type should be carved almost the same, so we can start typesetting and printing."
"Your Highness, let's go over and take a look."
Du He was also very much looking forward to it.
Movable type printing was easier to develop than he had imagined, and the carving of wooden movable type progressed even more rapidly.
Chongwenguan was inside the East Palace, not too far away, and the two arrived there in just a few steps.
"Your Highness, Prince Consort Du, I have prepared a lot of commonly used movable type. I think we can start arranging the printing."
"I can carve the rare characters while printing, so as not to waste time."
Liao Jun said, shaking his beard.
Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Du He, meaning to let him make the decision.
Du He smiled and said, "Take us to see the carved movable type."
"this way please."
Liao Jun gestured to the other side.
Under his leadership, the three came to an empty room in Chongwenguan.
On the desk in the room, there were carved plates with densely packed words on them.
Du He squatted down, picked up a carved block and looked at it carefully.
After a while.
Du He patted his buttocks and stood up and said, "Mr. Liao, you have done a good job. These engravings you prepared can be used directly for printing."
"After the court meeting tomorrow, I will talk to the Secretary General Yan Shigu and ask you to take your things to the printing workshop to get ready."
"Wait until you are fully prepared, then invite His Majesty to watch."
Chongwenguan is too small and is only suitable for research. There is not enough space for paper printing.
Moreover, printing requires a lot of ink, which can easily make the venue dirty.
"Ok!"
Liao Jun said excitedly.
Even the sound is much louder.
It will take about a day or two to move your things over and make other preparations.
I don’t know how much reward I will get for this achievement.
I should be able to get 10 strings of cash, right?
They all guessed that the reward would not be too high, because the difficulty and function of movable type printing could not be compared with Chinese pinyin and Chinese dictionaries.
...
Wude Hall.
Inside the Literature Museum.
Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and Li Baiyao were leading a group of scholars to check books.
Influenced by the four stern ministers, the expressions of these scholars were very solemn.
Li Tai walked in from outside with a smile on his face. He went straight to Kong Yingda and asked softly.
"Teacher, how is the progress of compiling the "Water Control Records"?"
Kong Yingda, who was immersed in checking texts, was interrupted midway, with a look of slight displeasure on his face.
However, when he saw that the visitor was Li Tai, the Prince of Wei, he forced a smile on his face and said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Wei, the book has been compiled and is now being checked. Once it is confirmed to be correct, it can be bound into volumes."
"Great!"
Li Tai pumped his fist excitedly.
He then instructed, "Teacher, when you are done, remember to tell this king. I will go to the palace to ask for your credit."
“Once the “Water Control Chronicle” is published, you and Master Yu and the others will definitely be recorded in the history books!”
Kong Yingda nodded and stroked his beard, a smile appearing on his face.
They are not short of money, nor are they seeking profit; they just want to leave their names in history.
