Chapter 182 0177 [Gardeners can also be made marquises](2/2)
The father and son first took a carriage to the Imperial Academy library, took Huang Aihe's five hundred copies of the Analects, and headed to the palace to meet Song Huizong.
This year's battle is even bigger.
The outer city wall is being demolished and built, Mingtang, Genyue, Tianzhang Pavilion... many palaces, gardens and palaces are being built at the same time, and countless building materials are shipped to Tokyo every month.
On the other hand, those homeless people actually found jobs and worked on construction sites. Although they didn't make much money, they could still eat enough.
Song Huizong took the third elixir and was currently meditating.
The father and son could only wait slowly until noon, when they were finally allowed to go and see the saint.
Song Huizong's face glowed red, and he seemed a little excited. He smiled and said to Zhu Guoxiang: "Although the Ganoderma lucidum offered by Mr. is less than 10,000 years old and most of its spiritual energy has dissipated, it is still a sacred object. The elixir is a hundred times stronger than ordinary ones."
Zhu Guoxiang said: "I don't know how to use elixirs, but I just want to congratulate the officials."
Ju Ming secretly observed and suspected that this foolish man had taken some stimulants.
Song Huizong asked: "How is your movable type printing going?"
"I'm about to invite the officials to visit me." Zhu Ming turned his head and winked at Huang Ai.
Huang Ai immediately stepped forward, and several eunuchs followed carrying boxes.
When Huizong of the Song Dynasty opened a copy of "The Analects of Confucius", he could see the role of periods and commas without Ju Ming's explanation. He was surprised: "This font is really novel. Although it looks ordinary, it is quite beautiful when printed on the book."
Ju Ming said: "This type of font is suitable for printing. It is clear and understandable without ink blur. I named it 'Ming Ti'."
"Very good," Song Huizong nodded in approval, "Printed with movable type?"
Ju Ming said: "They are all printed with movable type, which is a hundred times more convenient than engraving. Today's movable type is still cast first and then engraved. If the government gives more money, they can make copper molds and cast the movable type directly without the need for additional engraving.
, it can be used with a little polishing.”
Song Huizong said: "Let's carve characters. We can use copper molds to cast movable type until there is an abundance of copper in the future."
Today, the Song Dynasty is experiencing a money shortage. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also used copper to cast Jiuding. The lack of copper materials caused many money-casting supervisors to stop work.
Song Huizong asked in detail about the movable type printing process and the improvement work made by Ju Ming, and then said happily: "Our Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, the people are happy, and education is flourishing. This movable type printing technology is a reward from heaven, and it will usher in a prosperous era of culture and education.
!”
"The officials will obey the destiny, and the Song Dynasty will be prosperous for thousands of years!" The eunuchs next to him flattered him one after another.
Song Huizong laughed loudly: "I promise you to know the state, and you will not break your promise. Bring me the map!"
The eunuch hurriedly went to get the map of Kantu, bowed and held it in front of the emperor.
Song Huizong drew a circle on the map: "Don't go too far. Except for the capital, you can choose the rest of the state armies."
Ju Ming originally planned to go to the frontier for training, but the emperor drew a circle with Kaifeng Mansion as the center. After thinking about it carefully, Ju Ming pointed to the north: "I will go to Xiangzhou."
"Okay," Song Huizong said again, "I will call all the officials on Chang Chaoyi on the first day of next month. You can choose a lot of movable type, bring ink paper, and let them open their eyes on the spot."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty wanted to show his destiny. He straightened the city walls, built Mingtang, cast nine tripods, and renovated etiquette, all in order to show his destiny.
Movable type printing and Italian literature and education also belong to the destiny of heaven.
Not only were the officials called to watch, but the poet Dasheng was also asked to compose music and lyrics specifically for this purpose.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was still not finished and said: "This kind of movable type is called Dasheng movable type. This type of ink is called Dasheng ink. Ming-style characters can be left unchanged."
Sheng, bright, prosperous.
The meaning of Dasheng is similar to Fengheng Yuda.
Song Huizong thought of something and became even more happy: "The hibiscus grafted by Sir bloomed yesterday. Come with me to enjoy the flowers."
Dean Zhu's current status is that of half-emperor's gardener.
Hibiscus flowers cannot survive the winter in the north, and Tang Dynasty poetry often mentions that Song Huizong always wanted to plant hibiscus flowers in the palace.
Those that were planted before had no time to bloom and froze to death in the cold winter.
Song Huizong also thought about grafting, but whether it was cutting or grafting, the survival rate of hibiscus was very low.
It was our Dean Zhu who took action and lived directly in the palace for a month, taking care of her carefully every day, and finally managed to support the grafted fusang.
This Hunjun took everyone to enjoy the flowers, and even Huang Ai followed.
As he admired it, Song Huizong sighed again: "I am alive today, but in winter I will freeze to death."
Zhu Guoxiang said: "I can try it, maybe I can make the hibiscus survive the winter."
Song Huizong did not doubt Zhu Guoxiang's skills. He immediately took Zhu Guoxiang's hand and said very affectionately: "If it succeeds, I will make you a marquis!"
Marquis?
Zhu Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this. When he thought about Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty conferring a strange stone as a marquis, it seemed that it was nothing to confer a marquis title on Dean Zhu.
Zhu Guoxiang said: "I don't want to be granted a title of marquis. If I can help Fusang survive the winter, I would like to ask the officials to allow me to return to my hometown to visit my family."
"Just bring them to Tokyo." Song Huizong said.
Zhu Guoxiang said: "My little girl is still young and cannot bear to run around."
