The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 301 Writing a book and spreading it to the world

Suddenly a new edict was issued in the palace, and spread to all parts of the world, making everyone in the world aware of it.

"The emperor has an order: I will order all the talented people in the world to go to Bianjing City immediately. If you have ancient books at home, you can bring them to Bianjing City to help General Li write the book!"

The emperor's edict was immediately spread throughout the world, and the people in Bianjing City who responded the most were the ones who responded the most. At this moment, the people in the city finally understood why General Li Li Qingzhao rarely came out.

"It turns out that General Li is actually determined to write a book and biography!"

"Writing a book or a biography is much safer than fighting on the battlefield!"

Some support it, while others oppose it.

"It's just a woman who wants to write a book and a biography. Writing a book is so easy for a concubine!?"

"General Li is fine for fighting on the battlefield, but if he writes a book and biography, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it!"

"..."

In Li Qingzhao's view, the reason why the Song Dynasty was so weak at this time was that it did not inherit some things from the previous dynasty, but most of them were from the current dynasty.

Li Qingzhao thought for a long time, but still had no idea in his mind, so he asked Bai Zhi.

Due to the development of the city, there are very few people around this land, and even if there are some, they are poor people.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but think of the Divine Bird Temple that has stood on Lishan Mountain for thousands of years. Although it can be known from ancient books that the Divine Bird once used magical powers to repair the Divine Bird Temple, it was still intact before it was repaired.

Hearing the objections from others, one of the supporters quickly retorted: "General Li can fight on the battlefield, why can't he write a book and write a biography? Don't you remember that General Li was once a talented woman famous in Bianjing City!"

This choice is obvious. It must be the latter. After all, Li Qingzhao does not want his masterpiece to be burned down in a short period of time.

Under Gong Ling's doubtful gaze, Li Qingzhao glanced at the open space in front of him again, and then said to Gong Ling beside him: "Let's go!"

I hope that my achievements can be used by future generations forever, so that future generations can learn from them.

Then Li Qingzhao found a large number of craftsmen and began to prepare to build a library.

Of course, in Bai Zhi's view, the library designed by Li Qingzhao was not much different from other buildings in the Song Dynasty, but it also omitted other decorations.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

After hearing Gong Ling's words, Li Qingzhao smiled slightly. After all, the ancient Chinese books cover everything from astronomy to geography, including Mohist craftsman's classics, military strategists' art of war, Qin Dynasty's Legalist thoughts, Taoist ways of nature...

However, among the people who come to Bianjing City, there are naturally those who are truly talented and knowledgeable, and there are also those who carry precious ancient books on their backs. However, there are also those who fish in troubled waters and make a fool of themselves, and there are not a few of them.

Li Qingzhao believed that he was also a selfish person. For his Yi'an Ceremony, he asked the emperor to give an order to let everyone in the world know about it. He also came to Bianjing City, brought ancient books from all over the world, and jointly compiled this book.

Make the entire library look more durable and solid.

Li Qingzhao chose without hesitation.

"Do you want this library to look magnificent, or do you want this library to be passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years?"

Gong Ling on the side directed several craftsmen to measure the dimensions, then came to Li Qingzhao and said.

She thought that in the future, talented people from all over the world would rush to Bianjing City to help her compile the Yi'an Canon, and she would need a corresponding place, so she planned to build a library here.

Of course, this requires Li Qingzhao to identify it himself.

Only then did they realize that the General Li they were talking about was also a talented woman who was famous in Bianjing City decades ago, attracting the admiration of countless talented people in the city.

After hearing the words of the divine bird, Li Qingzhao pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly. Although the cost has increased a lot, as the divine bird said, it will last longer.

"In this case, the construction cost will also increase..."

After hearing Li Qingzhao's question, Bai Zhi pondered for a moment and then asked:

After returning to the mansion, Li Qingzhao went directly to the study room, and then started to think about the construction and design of the library.

In Bianjing City, Li Qingzhao was sitting in an open space in the city, looking at the surrounding scene with great satisfaction.

Bai Zhi didn't know what Li Qingzhao was thinking, but continued: "If you want the library you build to stand for a long time, don't just use simple wood to build it, but also use stone or other building materials."

"Shenniao, what do you think this library should be built like?"

"Of course it's the latter."

Not to mention that Li Qingzhao was a woman who joined the army as a general and led an army to block the Liao reinforcements.

At this time, Li Qingzhao knew more or less.

"Sister, let the officials handle the rest. After all, you and I don't understand these things."

But this is normal. After all, it happened decades ago. It is common sense that some people today don’t know.

……

Because the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and the Chinese army led by Li Qingzhao played a key role, Li Qingzhao's name has become known all over the world.

"Who says I don't understand?"

You don’t expect the library you built to stand for a thousand years, it only needs to stand for a few hundred years. It can leave more time for future generations to study, and it can also make China stronger.

Perhaps because Li Qingzhao has lived independently for a long time, she prefers to do many things by herself, so she spent a lot of time on the drawings.

At the same time, Li Qingzhao was favored by the divine bird, and her immortality put a mysterious veil on her body.

Li Qingzhao didn't care about the reaction of the people in the city. After all, the world is so big and there are all kinds of people, people with long-term vision, people with short-sightedness, selfish people, people who sacrifice themselves for the public good...

Also let everyone in the world rush to Bianjing City.

Huge stones were transported from outside the city, carved on site, cut into neat shapes, and stacked in the foundation pit.

For a time, the entire site seemed lively, with a large amount of wood and stone gathered here, and a large number of craftsmen walking through it.

In Bianjing City, the people in the city also noticed what Li Qingzhao did, and immediately knew what Li Qingzhao seemed to be doing.

"The world's talented people are about to arrive in Bianjing City, and the world's ancient books will also be sent to Bianjing City. General Li obviously wants to build a library at this moment to collect these books and make it convenient for the world's talented people to read in it. Organize ancient books.”

"It seems that General Li is indeed very cautious about this matter!"

"But based on the amount of stone and wood, I'm afraid General Li has such great financial resources..."

After all, building a library also costs money, and as far as they knew, Li Qingzhao did not receive help from the court, and even refused the court's offer of help. "General Li is a general in the army. Because he made outstanding achievements in the battle to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and the army implements a system of advancement for military merit, I am afraid that General Li has also received many rewards before this!"

"This is inevitable..."

……

As time goes by, more and more people come to Bianjing City from all over the world. They are either talented or knowledgeable, or they bring with them ancient books collected at home.

They rushed to Bianjing City and inquired about the mansion where Li Qingzhao lived, but they did not visit immediately.

Because when they entered the city, they heard about Li Qingzhao's construction of a library.

"I didn't expect General Li to build a library specifically to welcome us!"

"This also shows that General Li attaches great importance to us!"

"So, I am willing to take out the ancient books and classics at home..."

"..."

They watched the library being gradually built. First, huge stones were used as the foundation of the library, and then huge timbers were used. In addition to the timber, they were also wrapped with copper sheets to protect the library from standing for a long time.

Regarding this, the people who came to Bianjing City and the dignitaries in Bianjing City could not help but marvel in their hearts. They were amazed that Li Qingzhao attached great importance to the library and actually spent a lot of money to build a library!
Obviously, when this library is completed, it will probably cost ten thousand taels of silver, or even hundreds of thousands of taels!
Because they also heard that Li Qingzhao was very generous and generous to the craftsmen who built the library.

"Sister, we only have one hundred thousand taels of silver at home. If we continue to spend it like this, I'm afraid we will become poor after the library is built!"

In the Li Mansion, Gong Ling was sorting out books for Li Qingzhao and calculating accounts, her little face full of sorrow.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Qingzhao was not worried. After all, money and other things were the easiest to obtain, not to mention that the current emperor once wanted to fund himself with some silver.

After busy for a while, Li Qingzhao stood up, picked up the bookmark on the side and placed it where he saw it, then closed the book and came to the corridor outside the study.

"The weather has been very gloomy in recent days..."

Looking up, the sky was full of clouds. It was already midsummer and the weather was hot. Even when Li Qingzhao was reading in the study, Gong Ling needed to add ice and water to the ice mirror from time to time.

Gong Ling followed closely, looking up at the sky and said, "Yes, but I haven't been to the library much in the past few days. I don't know if it will affect the progress of the project..."

"It doesn't matter, let the craftsmen protect the materials and rest for a few days."

"My sister is kind-hearted, but the craftsmen don't think so, because the wages my sister gives me are very generous, and they work very hard!"

"Their efforts are worth the wages!"

Li Qingzhao shook her head, then took out her sword and slowly danced with it in the courtyard, while Gong Ling watched quietly on the side. After Li Qingzhao finished, she took over the sword and also danced in the courtyard.

The figures of the two women danced like butterflies in the courtyard, like fairies from the Moon Palace, with skin as thick as snow, fluttering clothes, and otherworldly beauty.

Li Qingzhao also looked at Gong Ling's sword dance with a smile on his face. He casually pointed out something wrong when he saw something wrong, and then suddenly said:
"Lingling, you have reached the age of marriage. Do you have a son you like?"

Li Qingzhao's words immediately caused Gong Ling, who was dancing the sword in the courtyard, to move. Then he looked at Li Qingzhao with dull eyes, and then said quickly:

"No! No!"

Seeing Gong Ling shaking her head, Li Qingzhao thought of his past self. Before he met the divine bird, he was just like Gong Ling, expectant and timid.

Li Qingzhao knew that he had to put some pressure on Gong Ling at this time, so he said:

"Let's do this. After a while, I will pay attention in Bianjing City. If there are any good young talents, I can also inquire for you..."

"No, no need...sister!"

Gong Ling looked embarrassed, her face suddenly turned red, and then she ran into the study holding the sword.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but smile on his face. He followed behind and slowly walked into the study, only to see that Gong Ling was already pretending to be busy, packing ancient books for himself.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao already understood in his heart.

Then he looked at the sky outside, then turned around and walked outside.

"Da da da……"

The heavy rain is coming, the sky is gloomy, and the sky is heavy with lead clouds. Perhaps because of the impending rain, there are already many fewer pedestrians on the streets. The hoofs of horses stepping on the snow fall on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound.

Li Qingzhao walked slowly towards the place where the library was built, ready to see how the library was being built.

From a distance, Li Qingzhao heard the noise coming from where the library was being built. Li Qingzhao looked up and saw that there were still a large number of craftsmen busy at work, and some stones and wood had been moved under the thatched shed to place rainwater. Get wet.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but frown slightly. Because there were enough people, the construction of the library was very fast, so there was no need for the craftsmen to work all the time to catch up with the progress.

"General Li, why are you here?"

From a distance, the person in charge of the construction of the library saw Li Qingzhao's figure riding on a white horse and quickly came up to meet him.

"The heavy rain is coming, so the craftsmen don't have to work anymore. Only by combining work and rest can they build faster and better."

Li Qingzhao said to the person in charge, but his eyes were still on the half-built library.

"……Yes!"

The person in charge had a look of embarrassment on his face, and then he couldn't help but say:

"What the general doesn't know is that it's not that the villain wants them to work, but that they continue to work spontaneously."

"So... let them stop quickly."

Because Li Qingzhao was not in a hurry, he naturally didn't care about the wages.

Hearing Li Qingzhao still say this, the person in charge showed admiration on his face, then turned around and called all the craftsmen together, and then told Li Qingzhao what he meant.

"Everyone, General Li is kind-hearted and pays us enough wages. He cannot bear the hard work and heavy rain is coming, so we ask everyone to stop quickly and go home to rest."

Hearing the words of the person in charge, many craftsmen suddenly showed expressions of gratitude. They looked around again, trying to find General Li. The person in charge also turned to look in the direction of Li Qingzhao, but there was nowhere to be found. The figure of Li Qingzhao?
……

The residence of Li Gang, the general of the country. Li Gang is also a veteran in the army. Because he is getting older, he no longer fights on the battlefield, allowing the younger members of the family to join the army and continue to serve the country.

The octogenarian Li Gang has become senile and has lost the glory he once had on the battlefield. After hearing that Li Qingzhao had come to visit, he quickly stood up to greet him personally. The door of the house was opened and everyone welcomed him.
