Han Dao world

Chapter 739
Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise.

Liu Xie's two lives are somewhat self-aware.He is not a saint, but just an open traveler.Without the accumulation of two thousand years of history, he would not even be as good as Liu Xie, who was regarded as a puppet by later generations.

Liu Xie himself can support a dying dynasty for more than twenty years, but he can't get ahead in a big unit.

Apart from the cheating bonus, his only advantage is his sobriety, knowing what kind of onion he is, and there is no need to compete with the leaders of this era, so as not to humiliate himself.

For example, discussing Confucian classics with them, nine times out of ten I will be hanged and beaten.

Fortunately, the study of Confucian classics is actually useless except for blowing water, and whether you are proficient in Confucian classics has no substantial impact on the realization of the kingly way.

Serving the people is the kingly way.

This is a real dimensionality reduction hit.

"An expert once said that there are two kinds of people that are most frightening: one is a scholar who has faith, and the other is a farmer who takes up arms. How to turn these two forces into a beneficial force instead of a destructive force is My only goal."

Liu Xie stood up, walked out, stood on the porch, looked at the mountains in the distance, and shook his head slowly.

"I'm not interested in being a saint." He pointed to the snow-covered mountain top. "It's unbearably cold at high places, invincible is too lonely."

Zhuge Liang followed, followed Liu Xie's hand and glanced into the distance, thoughtfully.

The monarch and his subjects stood for a moment, enjoying the rare silence.

After a while, Liu Xie turned to look at Zhuge Liang. "How is the preparation of the printing workshop going?"

Zhuge Liang came back to his senses. "The Yinfang is almost ready, and the fonts are being engraved, but it is a bit troublesome to determine the main writer."

Liu Xie's eyes flashed. "Kong Wenju refuses?"

The lecture was coming soon, and he planned to publish a summary of the daily lectures and publish it in time, so he specially transferred craftsmen and management personnel from Hedong Bookstore, and planned to propose a printing workshop in Chang'an.

In order to print quickly, he also spent a lot of effort and decided to use movable type printing.

Kong Rong is his favorite chief writer. He has literary talents and can curse people. He is simply the most suitable news commentator.

Two days ago, I sent someone to invite me. I thought Kong Rong would readily agree, but I didn't expect Kong Rong to refuse.

Zhuge Liang smiled. "He said that all the lecturers are present at the scene, and as long as they make a record, they can be assembled in the future, and there is no need to print it immediately. Now that virtuous people from all over the world are coming to Beijing one after another, and the money is tight, it is better to save what you can."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

Liu Xie shook his head. "Give him a chance, he dare not take it, forget it. Are there other candidates?"

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a rare moment. "There are, but they may not be useful."

Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang puzzled.

What does it mean?
"The virtues and talents are useful, but the mind may not be compatible with His Majesty." Zhuge Liang lowered his head, avoiding Liu Xie's gaze. "Whoever is willing to speak for His Majesty may not be of good character."

Liu Xie understood. "tell me the story."

"The former Rulai Min and Xu Jing just rushed to Chang'an from Yizhou. The latter is like Lu Cui, who wrote a letter to test himself the day before yesterday. Lu Cui is a disciple of Cai Bojie. After receiving his letter, I went to ask Cai Ling Shi. Cai Lingshi didn’t think highly of him.”

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "Get them together."

"Your Majesty means..."

"Since it is a discussion, it is natural to have different opinions. Instead of criticizing privately, it is better to put it out in the open. Who is right and wrong, leave it to future generations to say."

He paused, and then said: "You have to have confidence in the people. Even if you don't know the difference for the time being, and take some detours, you will always return to the right path in the future."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and turned to make arrangements.

"How is Yinfang preparing? Find time to go and have a look."

"Mrs. Tang came to arrange the arrangement in person, and several noble people promoted it, and the speed was very fast."

"Madam Tang is here too?" Liu Xie was very surprised. "I do not know how?"

"Madam said that His Majesty is too busy, so there is no need to disturb His Majesty, and I will see you when the work is finished."

"Going right now."

-

Chang'an Yinfang was built in Taixue, a single courtyard, guarded by Hu Benlang outside the door.

In order to print articles in time, Liu Xie took out movable type printing.Although the printing effect is not as exquisite as engraving, the speed is beyond the reach of engraving. It is most suitable for printing articles such as mansion newspapers and current affairs reviews that require more time.

There is no doubt that this is a big killer, and it is not appropriate to announce it yet.

Therefore, Liu Xie handed over the task of guarding the bookstore to Huben Lang, and Huben Zhonglang would personally take charge of Song Guo.The nobleman Song Du is also working in the bookstore. If Mrs. Tang returns to Hedong, Song Du will be the most suitable person to read books, so Song Guo is also very attentive.

In a certain way, Song Guo regards this bookstore as his own property, and takes good care of it, preventing any idlers from approaching it.

Knowing that the emperor is coming to visit, Song Guo immediately rushed to the gate to greet him.

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing when he saw Song Guo, who was fully armed and full of energy.

After several years of conquest, Song Guo was appointed Marquis of Ting for his meritorious service, but he soon became idle.In a short period of time, there is almost no chance of going out, Song Guo was very depressed for a while, and even his daily training was a bit lazy, and he has not seen him so energetic for a long time.

It seems that there is still something to do, otherwise people will be useless.

In fact, I can't blame Liu Xie for this. He originally wanted to wait for Deng Quan to become an official, and Song Guo would succeed Guang Luxun.But although Deng Quan was old, he was in good health, and he had no intention of taking the initiative to become an official. Liu Xie couldn't drive him away, so he had to delay it.

Wait a few more years, and Deng Quan will almost reach retirement age.

"Isn't it hot to wear so much?" Liu Xie said. "Almost all scholars in Taixue are scholars, are you afraid that they will not make it by force?"

On a hot day, Song Guo was still wearing leather armor.

Although the leather armor is not as heavy as the iron armor, and does not require the lining of the battle robe, it is still airtight after all.

Song Guo said solemnly: "Your Majesty's words, I don't agree with you. Not to mention that there are some scholars who are proficient in martial arts. With their temper, it is very difficult to commit stubbornness. Put on armor and let them know that there is something wrong here. With Huben guarding them, they would not dare to act rashly, saving a lot of trouble."

Liu Xie felt reasonable. "Then it will be hard work for you."

"Serving His Majesty is the responsibility of the ministers, how dare you speak bitterly."

Just as he was talking, Dong Wan rushed out from inside. "Your Majesty, is it really you?"

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Dong Wan has grown into a young girl full of youthful vigor, but her temper is still so outrageous, she is completely different from Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian, and even the two Qiang ladies are quieter than her.

But this gave him a long-lost sense of intimacy.

When a woman enters the palace, there are not many women who can remain the same. Even Ma Yunlu has become a lot more cautious after entering the palace.

"Are you okay?"

"It's all right." Dong Wan held Liu Xie's hand, looked up and down, right and left, and clicked his tongue. "Your Majesty is not only safe, but also much stronger. If I saw you on the road, even my concubines would dare not recognize you."

"Awan!" Mrs. Tang rushed out, followed by Song Du.She gave a soft drink and gave Dong Wan a wink. "I haven't saluted His Majesty yet."
