Chapter 114

"Your Majesty, Yang Qian, see you..." Yang Qian stepped forward and saluted Yang Guang, who was looking at him with admiration.

Yang Guang raised his hand to support him with admiration on his face.

"I never expected that I would meet little Yang Qing again in this land south of the Yangtze River during the Double Ninth Festival."

"Your Majesty can still remember me, but I am scared." Yang Qian replied respectfully.

Yang Guangqi walked to the wooden box and let the eunuch lift the lids of the six heavy wooden boxes.

I casually took out a book and looked through it. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as before.

"Your Majesty, all three thousand volumes of "Collected Poems and Fuses of the Emperor" are here." Han Shi'e bowed respectfully to Yang Guang and then stepped away.

I patted the "Collection of Poems of the Emperor" in my hand, which was well made, with exquisite paper, cover and stitching.

Yang Guang was very satisfied and felt that Yang Qian was more pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Yangqing, please tell me how your father came up with the idea of ​​engraving and printing?"

"Your Majesty, this is actually because I am too naughty. When I was a child, I liked to poke my father's private seal on rice paper for fun."

"A few days ago, when my father went home to visit his relatives, he was drinking heavily. When he mentioned this, he suddenly got inspiration and started designing at home..."

Yang Qian vividly described how his father noticed the relationship between seals and rice paper.

The process of turning to research is briefly described.

After hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but shook his head.

"Your father's talent is indeed rare. I listened to a performance from the Ministry of Works before. There was a piece called "Huan Plow", which was also presented by your father."

"We are going to try it next spring to see how effective it is. This has not yielded results yet, but there is another engraving printing technology..."

Yang Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and said respectfully.

"That's also because His Majesty knows how to make good use of people and placed my father in the Ministry of Industry, so that my father can be like a fish in water."

"My father is grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. How dare he not do his best to repay Your Majesty?

Whether it's the engraving printing technology that can reduce the price of books in the world by at least half, or the curved shaft plow that can save half of the manpower and animal power."

"It's all because your majesty has a keen eye to recognize pearls, so that my father will not let his pearls become dusty and waste time."

Yang Guang stroked his thick beard and listened to Yang Qian's pleasant words, the smile on his face became more and more overflowing.

For such a young talent, his tone is so sincere and his eyes are so humble.

It's really refreshing to get along with such a handsome and witty young talent.

His eyes glanced at those ministers and servants who were sitting at the table and whispering among themselves while they were holding a copy of the "Collection of Poems and Fuses of the Emperor" that had just been distributed to them.

Yang Guang couldn't help but feel disgusted with the old official with his wrinkled face, scheming eyes and wandering eyes.

#####

Returning to the imperial court, Yang Guang stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at the civil and military ministers present. The eunuch who understood the situation immediately sternly told all the officials to be silent.

Yang Guang was stroking the exquisite "Collected Poems of the Emperor" with his face full of emotion.

"You know, gentlemen, from China to the pre-Qin period, we have either written books or recorded history.

All were recorded on bamboo slips and silk paper with the help of a knife and pen for future generations to read..."

"It has been more than three thousand years. However, today, Yang Ning, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering of the Great Sui Dynasty, developed a method."

"It only takes a dozen or so craftsmen to print thousands of volumes of a book that would take several days to copy..."

"This method appeared in the world during our Sui Dynasty. In the future, thousands of scholars will no longer be poor because of their poor family backgrounds, and they will be short of money when they see the books they like."

"Those countless fragments and single copies that have been handed down from ancient times can also be spread all over the world through this method..."

Yang Guang's voice was loud and passionate. He was the passionate emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the ruler of the Sui Dynasty.

His voice and the message he delivered infected everyone present, and officials fell to the ground one by one.

Praising the Emperor's wisdom and martial prowess at the top of his lungs, praising the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, which will last forever.

Countless Sui Imperial Guards wearing armor also prostrated themselves to the ground.

Yang Qian, who had also prostrated himself on the ground and kept singing praises, was filled with sadness in his heart.

Who could have imagined that after just a few years.

In this era, the most powerful Sui Dynasty will collapse like a cliff.

Being buried in the dust of history by the emerging Tang Dynasty...

After a long time, Yang Guang calmed down and asked some more about engraving and printing.

Only then did I pay attention to Zheng Shanyuan mentioned by Yang Qian.

Yang Guang looked at Zheng Shanyuan who was walking forward, bowing respectfully, and nodded slightly.

"Your father was the translator Zheng who compiled "Yuefu Tone" back then?"

"It was my late father." Zheng Shanyuan nodded. "I didn't expect that Your Majesty could still remember my late father."

"Your father is good and talented. He participated in the formulation of my Great Sui Rhythm and corrected my Great Sui Rhythm.

If you have contributed to the country, I will naturally remember it."

"I am very pleased that you can assist Xiao Yangqing to do such a thing."

Yang Guang's fingers tapped lightly on the imperial desk. After a long time, Yang Guang spoke.

"Yang Ning, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, has made great contributions to the country. I will meet with the director to discuss the matter of awarding him.

When the time comes, I will put the engraving and printing technology to work and use the plow to command the world."

#####

"Edict to the world..." These four words came out of Yang Guang's mouth, causing all the civil and military officials present to take a breath.

Imperial edicts are not issued casually. There are three types of real imperial edicts: imperial edict, imperial edict, and imperial edict. Generally speaking, edicts are not dared to be used.

Zhao means to announce to the world, and the emperor's order document is called an imperial edict.

Cai Pa's "Doctrine": "The person who writes the edict is also the edict."

After the Han Dynasty, imperial edicts were generally used to inform the subjects of major events such as the canonization of a prince, the death of the emperor, or the declaration of war.

But now, the engraving printing technology and the Quyuan plow have been mentioned by the emperor and announced to the world in the form of imperial edicts. What an honor this is.

Many ministers' eyes suddenly turned red, not because they were moved, but because they were extremely angry.

I have worked hard for the Sui Dynasty my whole life, but I am still not worth these crappy things.

However, no one had the courage to jump out and object, not even Yu Wenshu, who was sneering in his heart and was deeply favored by the emperor.

"As a reward to Yang Qian, he will be rewarded with a thousand pounds of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, a fine horse, and a thousand acres of land..."

"Reward Zheng Shanyuan with 500 gold, 500 silk, and 500 acres of land..."

"Come here, give Yang Qing and Zheng Qing a table."

After Yang Qian thanked Emperor Yang Guang for his kindness, he and Zheng Shanyuan followed the eunuch's guidance and sat down at the newly added table at the end.

Zheng Shanyuan, who is the Duke of the county, is indeed qualified to move forward.

But he preferred to stay with Yang Qian, especially after hearing the emperor's words.

The Zheng family of Xingyang has been completely tied to Yang Qian, a talented person from Xingyang.
