Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 285 Preparations
During the Nine Ranks Zhongzheng system, the aristocratic family only promoted filial piety and integrity, controlling the source of selection, and it has influenced the millennium.

The period also proved its great ambition, as well as management ability and experience.

If it can penetrate into the interior of education and control the operation, it is almost equivalent to controlling the future of the whole world, and then misleading talents will definitely have a counterproductive effect.

It's terrifying to think carefully.

Your Majesty, it is also impossible to allow uncontrollable forces with certain strength to participate in any of these links.

Independence and loyalty are what the imperial power needs, and they are also the goals that the new education system needs to achieve.

Shen Sanwen didn't know if this was considered understanding, but he still quietly walked to the princess's side, and then hugged her gently.

"Angry?"

Princess: "No."

Shen San asked: "They have become a thing of the past, it's okay, I was careless this time."

The princess looked at him solemnly, "It's not that the aristocratic family can't be used, we can only take it slowly. The wealth in their hands can indeed play a big role, I understand, don't worry. They are being expelled from the power field now, In moments of anxiety, any action is possible. Take no chances."

Shen San asked: "Since they want to use me, they will naturally have to pay the price. Don't worry, I won't let them really control the education system."

The princess nodded, "Think twice about everything, and look at things from the perspective of the empress."

In the next few days, Shen San asked a lot of coldness, and most of the entertainments were bluntly rejected.It is easier said than done to start an education system from scratch. The composition of the school is so complicated. Papermaking skills, pencils, and teachers are not in place, so it is difficult to cook without rice.

Where is the effort to hang out with these people who can't see the slightest sincerity.

Shen Sanwen went to Shangfang Bureau again and provided ideas for making colored paper and scented paper.By the way, he created an invention that he thought was particularly important - the bookmark.

Da Zhou’s bookmarks are made of many materials. Most nobles use silver, ceramics, wood, and iron.

This kind of bookmark is really soulless, except for marking the reading progress, it has no emotional color at all, and it can't arouse people's impulse to use it at all!

Shen Sanwen had never used other bookmarks except for the routine homepage strip cover, and where to find a pencil, he would be able to accurately locate it next time.

The development of bookmarks to later generations is not only a symbol of exquisite reading, but also the mood and feelings of the reader at that time can be preserved through bookmarks.After all, good books are not meant to be read and then left behind.

Write down every touch, record your footprints and mental journey, and remind yourself.

Bookmarks should not be rough, each one should be a work of art that carries a story.

The current bookmark is really low.

Seeing the process of papermaking, Shen Sanwen knew that the bookmark he wanted could be made.Simply by making the pulp more viscous, you can increase the thickness of the paper, resulting in a harder bookmark, while adding more materials, such as leaves and petals.

Enclosing the leaves and petals in the surface of the paper hard sign can not only make the bookmark full of spring, but also play the role of the bookmark to record inspiration and sentiment. Such a bookmark is a real bookmark.

Of course, there will be cartoon bookmarks and engraved bookmarks in the future. In Luoyang City, which pursues luxury and fashion, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Shen · Make money in a proper way · Three questions are planning happily.

For people who are used to electronic reading, they may not feel the function of bookmarks, but for Dazhou people who are used to paper reading, this is definitely a spiritual change, and it can even be played by dudes who don’t like reading. When bookmarking, read a few extra pages.

Found many well-preserved dead leaves and dried flowers in the mansion, Shen Sanwen made the first batch of bookmarks, which were divided into different themes, spring, summer, autumn and winter, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The market is mainly on the female side.

After half a day.

Shen Sanwen approached the study with two sets of bookmarks prepared for the princess and himself.

"Look, what is this?"

Shen Sanwen held up the bookmark sealed with pine leaves and brought a fragrance, and sent it to the princess.

Princess: "What is the use of this thing?"

Shen San asked: "Bookmarks, you can mention the characters, I'm here to ask the princess to give you the characters."

The princess gave him a reproachful look, and she mentioned the word as soon as she mentioned it, and said, "If you have no merit, you will not be rewarded, and you will not be rewarded."

Shen San asked: "Give me a favor, baby, a word rewards a kiss."

Princess: "Not serious."

Shen Sanwen swung the inkstone, and handed over a pen, "The ink is finished, come."

The princess picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink gracefully, and wrote two lines of fine silk characters, "step by step, read well and think carefully."

Shen San asked: "It's so serious, I thought it was holding the hand of the son, and growing old together with the son, or wishing to have one heart and never leave each other."

The princess put down the pen, "I won't write anymore, reading is not serious."

Shen San asked: "Two people can also read together, I will read to you."

The princess handed him a book of miscellaneous notes, and looked at him with her chin in her hand. Listening to his voice and playing around was also a kind of happiness, and there was always a very warm feeling.

Shen San asked: "Uh, how do you pronounce this word?"

Princess: "Me."

Shen San asked: "What about this one?"

Princess: "What do you want to hear?"

Shen San asked: "If you don't cooperate, don't read it, don't read it."

Princess: "What are these bookmarks for?"

Shen San asked: "To make money, small things can be sold for big money."

Princess: "Then is there a premium for what I mention?"

Shen San asked: "Why do you think so? This is for our own use. I have a good eye. We haven't fallen to the point of selling calligraphy yet. I love the hands of my dear. If I want to sell calligraphy, I will write it."

Princess: "." Your words, even if the price drops, no one will buy them.

It's hard to write with a brush, is it my fault?
The two dawdled for a while, and finally finished writing eight bookmarks, which meant that they had written all that Shen Sanwen wanted to see.

To be popular among scholars, it is natural that high-ranking officials of the imperial court will drive merchants to follow suit, and leaders of the literary world will drive the arty heart of literati and inkmen.

Shen Sanwen visited Shangguan Wan'er again.

Taking out the bookmark, Shangguan Wan'er understood, for those who love books, the meaning of cherishing reading is extremely elegant.

No one has ever thought that bookmarks can add natural colors, and leaves can be added in the process of papermaking. The inherent charm is enough for literati to love it.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "The son-in-law is really a wonderful person, is this a way of making money?"

Shen San asked with a simple and honest smile, "Isn't this a lack of money?"

With just a few words, the communication can be completed with high efficiency.From Shangguan Wan'er's attitude, we can know how hot the sale will be in the future.

The most important thing is to use His Majesty's resources. You don't have to worry about manpower and material resources. It's a huge profit, and the income brought by a creative idea.

Then Shen Sanwen went to look for Liu Bing, the former carpenter, to refine the method of rubbing sand and stones. I don't know how he learned it, and whether he spread it according to his requirements.

Liu Bing knew that the opposite party was a relative of the emperor, so he didn't dare to be negligent. He was a different person from the first time he met, and he took the initiative to explain the recent things just after meeting, "The villain has already promoted the method of moxiu according to the requirements of the son-in-law. All the carpenters in Luoyang know how to do it. Did the son-in-law come here this time for advice?"

Shen Sanwen nodded, going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I am not in a hurry.

Liu Bing: "My lord's order?"

Shen Sanwen took out a high-end technical pencil exclusively made by the master, "I want to make this kind of wood in batches, with a soft core sandwiched in the middle, is there a way?"

Liu Bing: "What is the use of this thing?"

Shen Sanwen took a piece of wood, placed it on another piece of wood, and drew a mark with a pen.

Liu Bing observed for a moment, "A magic weapon! It's convenient to carve without a knife."

Shen San asked to stop him from talking nonsense, "This is called a pencil, you observe, how to make it the fastest."

Liu Bing took the pencil and looked at it for a moment, "Is it the soft core that can move outward?"

Shen San asked: "You can move the soft core step by step, or you can use a knife to cut wood. I want to mass-produce, and I need to be able to produce thousands and tens of thousands of pieces a day."

Liu Bing immediately fell down in fright, "It's impossible, my son-in-law, even if it's cut out without a soft core, it will be difficult."

Shen Sanwen sighed, "Use your brain, use the method of mass production, two pieces of wood that are not too hard, with a groove in the middle, and then glue them together."

Liu Bing: "There is no such a soft board, and there is no such strong watering! We can only use this kind of hidden buckle to keep them together."

Shen San asked: "You can solve the problem of the wooden boards. You must pass the quality of all the pencils, can you?"

Liu Bing replied dejectedly, "Okay, let's try."

In Dazhou's situation, Shen Sanwen felt that it was impossible to produce glue that could bond the wood boards. The pencil in his hand was stuck with the grooves misplaced. The manual cost was too high, but pencils were a must.

Liu Bing murmured, "Your pen can only be polished a little bit. But if the refill is hard enough, you can directly cut a hole in the head on one side of the wood, and then clamp it with a wooden ring. In this way, Do a few steps a day, and the speed can reach a thousand roots."

Shen Sanwen looked at him in shock, "Okay, you still know about division of labor and assembly line production."

Liu Bing smiled foolishly, "The villain's master learned from General Zhang in the frontier. I heard that the speed is very fast, but carpenters are all independent, and the villain has never tried."

Shen San asked with a smile, "Is there a quicker way to round this wooden board, the square ones pierce the hand."

Liu Bing replied: "Like a round brush, that's easy to make."

Shen San asked: "Is it time-consuming?"

Liu Bing: "It needs to be sharpened, and it will take a while to become proficient."

Shen San asked: "Well, let's choose the material, make an opening at one end, put the pen core in, then use the ring to lock it, and then round off the center of the pen barrel. I'll see the progress in three days?"

Liu Bing handed him the pencil, "Three days later, the villain will definitely make this and write down all the steps clearly so that you can execute them step by step. I will definitely satisfy you."

Shen Sanwen took the pen and left contentedly.

This person can be used, can accurately grasp the needs of customers, and does not forget to hand in the pen to avoid being peeped.

interesting.

After Liu Bing sent Shen Sanwen away, a nobleman came immediately, "We also want a copy of what the master bought just now."

Liu Bing: "The master didn't buy anything, but just explained the method of moxiu he taught last time, and whether he has passed it on as instructed."

"Really?" The noble young man in a fine attire took out a piece of silver, "Tell me."

Liu Bing took it and replied, "There are still some requirements, to make a special thing, the villain does not know what it is used for, it may be a children's toy for holding the rope."

Not daring not to say it, but not telling the truth, this is the wisdom of survival, and he can't afford to offend anyone.

"Prepare ten copies for me too. If this matter gets out, you won't be able to afford the consequences."

Liu Bing nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes." Fortunately, the son-in-law did not leave an inner core, otherwise the consequences of this matter would be serious, and he would not be able to bear the revelation of important matters of the royal family.

This group of people pretended to take a few goods and left, but they didn't know that they were already being watched.

Shen Sanwen waited in the mansion for a while, and received a reply. Sure enough, old things always want to counterattack, and they are like a cart.

It seems that the aristocratic family will not watch the new education go smoothly, but will destroy it step by step, and finally come forward to turn the tide and seize the opportunity.

Shen Sanwen thought it was funny, his indifference during this period made these people panic.

Instead of waiting for others to attack, it is better to preemptively strike, "Come here, invite the heads of these six families to a banquet."

Of the seven great clans, among them the royal family, the Li family, is weak and forbearing, waiting for the moment of return to power, separated from the other clans, not included in the destruction of education, and not involved in the affairs of the other six clans, so they are not included in the invitation.

Firstly, the Li family did not dare to offend the emperor and suffer innocent disasters. Secondly, Princess Taiping was always kind. She used her power and position to preserve many of the Li family's properties, which gave them hope. She was a solid comrade-in-arms.

When the six masters received Shen Sanwen's invitation, they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and their minds were full of thoughts, but when it came to the dinner, they all entered the door with smiles on their faces.

It was Shen Sanwen who presided over it, would they still be afraid, if there was an assignment, whether it was a push or an acceptance, the six families could discuss and bear it, so they didn't panic.

However, the dishes prepared by Shen Sanwen were not as exquisite as theirs. The clear soup with cabbage and tofu was all real, without any fishy taste.Even the steamed stuffed buns are filled with red bean paste, white dough, and the soup is clear and watery, so the taste is no worse than that of any other place, but the ingredients are not so expensive.

Shen San asked with a smile all over his face, "Last time I saw that the heads of the family are thrifty, so I have prepared some light dishes that you like, I hope you don't dislike them."

Several people hurriedly agreed, "I am really grateful for considering the tastes of us old men. It is rare and admirable for the noble son-in-law to be so frugal."

In fact, what do you think in your heart, stingy, who doesn't know how rich your family is, and the real steamed buns, the six of us haven't eaten this stuff for decades.

Shen Sanwen unknowingly drank and chatted with everyone, ate his own food and completely ignored other people's appetites, anyway, what he ate was food, and the people around would feel full just by watching him eat.

　Jiupin Zhongzheng System: It was an important official selection system during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Ranks were determined according to family background and character.There are no low-ranking families at the top, and no nobles at the bottom.
