The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 377 Xiao Nan's Plan

A few days later, the prince showed the printed books to all the officials at the Great Court Meeting, and explained in detail what movable type printing is.

All the courtiers were very surprised when they saw this rare object, and actively circulated several copies of "Zhenguan Law".

Everyone watched in amazement.

Especially those civil servants, after listening to the prince's explanation, they immediately thought of the beauty of printing. Everyone was a scholar, and their favorite thing was books. At that time, books were also the most precious and rare.

Once the printing technique is implemented, there will be a large number of books popular among the people, and children will be enlightened and scholars will no longer worry about having no books to read, so it will not be difficult to educate the people.

Thinking of the enlightenment of the people, the prosperity and prosperity, and the coming of all nations, the civil servants couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, and looked at the prince with admiration and admiration—who said that the prince only likes to dance with guns and sticks now? You see, people Such a treasure that benefits scholars all over the world was produced quietly.

Although the prince clearly told the ministers that the printing technique was created by the son-in-law Xiao Jing and the son-in-law Cui Youbo, a scholar of Hongwenguan, everyone present knew that Hongwenguan was under the jurisdiction of the prince. , can also be regarded as the prince's confidant.

Without the prince's instruction and support, how could the prince's cronies successfully produce this printing technique? !

The crown prince was in the main position, condescending, and he could clearly see the expressions and eyes of the officials.

Seeing this scene, the prince was overjoyed. He knew that no matter whether the printing technique could be implemented or not, as far as he was concerned, he had successfully used this matter to divert everyone's attention and established a brand new image in front of the officials.

Well, it seems that Uncle Cui is indeed a bit capable, and if there is a good vacancy in the future, he will be reserved for him.

At this moment, Concubine Xiao, who rarely came to the court, stood out from the queue holding a wat board, "I have something to tell Your Highness."

Seeing that it was Concubine Xiao, the prince raised his hand slightly, "Concubine Xiao, please tell me."

Xiao Jing took out a few pages of white paper from his bosom, and said: "A few months ago, Your Highness ordered me and Cui Youbo to develop this printing technique. , the number of characters that can be printed on each page is limited, and it is extremely inconvenient to read. I thought, is there a brand-new font specially used for printing?"

The prince's eyes fell on the white paper in Xiao Jing's hand, and he understood a little bit, he said with a smile: "I heard what the son-in-law said, that a brand new font has been created?"

Xiao Jing raised his head and said loudly: "Returning to Your Highness, I have indeed practiced a brand new calligraphy style. This style of calligraphy is derived from regular script, and I named it 'Shoujin Style'."

The prince became interested, and signaled the servant to present the white paper.

The servant understood, and bowed to Concubine Xiao's seat, and took the blank paper.

After hearing this, all the courtiers couldn't help talking, they all knew that Concubine Xiao was a famous person in the world, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and other talents, and he was especially good at calligraphy.

Such a celebrity has now created a brand new style of writing, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, but it makes sense after careful consideration.

The crown prince took those few pages of white paper and flipped through them carefully, and saw a few lines of characters neatly written on the white paper. This type of font is different from the traditional seal script, official script, cursive script, and xing script. , Each stroke is like an engraving, and the 'thin gold body' really lives up to its name.

"My son-in-law is worthy of being a master of calligraphy. Seeing this calligraphy is smooth, the handwriting is thin and sharp, and it is like cutting gold and jade. It's very good!"

While praising the prince lavishly, he handed these blank papers to the servant, and motioned him to distribute them to the courtiers so that everyone could circulate them.

The courtiers who saw the thin golden body for the first time were also full of praise. Although this character originated from regular script, it is different from traditional regular script. Wild, but also an excellent innovation, it is definitely a new calligraphy style.

In the end, the prince made a decision, and the courtiers seconded the proposal. The imperial court set up a printing bureau, which was subordinate to the secretary province. Xiao Bo (the nominal owner of Xiao's workshop) was the secretary and junior supervisor, in charge of the printing bureau, and he was promoted from the fourth rank.

In this court meeting, Xiao's father and son and Weng's son-in-law made a big splash, especially Prince Xiao, in the eyes of all civil servants, he seemed to be a famous calligrapher in the world, and everyone looked at him with admiration and admiration.

As for the matter of Xiao Yu dismissing his prime minister a few days ago, it was forgotten by others.

Everyone knows very well that the Xiao family has the Eldest Princess and Concubine Xiao, so they cannot fail!
Xiao Nan didn't know what happened in the hall, at the moment, she was busy with housework.

In front of Xiao Nan was a floor plan of Rongshou Hall. She sat with her legs stretched out, with one hand resting on the hidden pouch, repeatedly studying the buildings in the picture.

Iron Lady and Yu Zhu knelt down and waited quietly.

After a while, Xiao Nan raised his head and tapped the blueprint with his fingers, "It seems that a few more houses need to be built."

Rongshou Hall has a large area, but there are not many buildings.Perhaps it was because when the ancestral house was divided, the old lady didn't think about adopting grandchildren, so there were not many courtyards built.

Apart from the row of houses in the main hall and two small courtyards, the only independent courtyards are the Weiyi courtyard and several small courtyards around it.

Most of the other spaces are gardens, forests, artificial lakes and waterside pavilions.

Now that the children are still young, there is no need for a separate courtyard for the time being, and the courtyard at home is enough.

But it was just enough, Xiao Nan wanted to set up a separate courtyard as a school for the children to attend classes and study, but found that there was no free courtyard.

In addition, the four female wives invited back from Empress Xiao also need to be resettled in the courtyard, so they cannot always be allowed to live in the guest house.

After thinking about it, Xiao Nan decided that if he wanted to build a new yard anyway, it would be better to do it all at once and build a few more. When the child grows up in the future, he won't have to waste effort.

The Iron Lady straightened up and replied: "What the lady said is true, but I don't know where the lady wants to open a new courtyard."

When the old lady built the courtyard, she invited professionals from the Ministry of Industry to design it, and the drawings were also made by professional painters. The rockery, lakes, forests, and large and small gardens were carefully designed and arranged.

If there is no careful design and a certain place is moved blindly, it will affect the architectural pattern of the entire Rongshou Hall.

"Oh, I'm just worrying about it." She didn't major in ancient architecture, so she didn't know how to plan gardens.

Yuzhu suggested: "Why don't you go to the Ministry of Industry to find a Yuanwailang, and ask him to help you re-plan?"

Regardless of later generations or ancient times, everyone still trusts professionals.

"It can only be like this," Xiao Nan thought for a while, and said: "I remember that Mr. Li from the Ministry of Industry is Aye's disciple. I will write a letter later, and Yuzhu will send someone to Xiao's house and hand it over to Aye. yeah."

"Yes." Yuzhu straightened up and saluted.

Thinking of building a new courtyard, Xiao Nan remembered something again, and she asked: "By the way, has the building of Anshan Square started?"

Tie Niangzi said: "Go back to my lady, I just went to Anshan Square yesterday to have a look, and Hou Guanshi is leading the craftsmen to lay the foundation. Hou Guanshi said that the earliest time to start construction is today, and the latest is tomorrow."

Xiao Nan nodded, and ordered: "Remember this matter, and order someone to check it from time to time. I am getting heavier and heavier, and I may not be able to take care of it for a while."

"Don't worry, lady, I will definitely handle this matter properly,"

Iron Lady knew that the newly built house in Anshanfang was used to build the Ci'an Thatched Cottage. Although she did not go to Luoyang with the lady, Iron Lady heard a lot about the Ci'an Thatched Cottage from the letters and chats between Yuzan and the others. thing.

The Ci'an Thatched Cottage was built in the name of the old lady. The Cui family provided people, money, medicinal materials, and medical classics to help the poor people. It is a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Moreover, Iron Lady knew very well that after she was pregnant with a child, she became more and more sympathetic to the poor and the weak.

Especially a few days ago after the rod scolded Rong Kangtang's slaves, although the lady didn't say anything, but the iron lady observed very carefully. In those few days, the lady always stroked the lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally.

The iron lady is also a mother, she can understand the lady's thoughts very well, she is nothing but afraid that what she did will retribution to the child, and she wants to do more good deeds to accumulate virtue for the child.

In fact, Iron Lady really guessed wrong. The main reason for Xiao Nan to build another Ci'an Cottage in the capital was not to do good deeds, but to make a name for himself.Of course, Xiao Nan has no objection if he can save more people and do more good deeds.

Ci’an Thatched Cottage does not charge money in name, but in actual operation, it just does not accept money and goods from poor people, allowing them to pay off their debts with work. If rich and noble people come to seek medical treatment, the thatched cottage will charge high consultation fees or drug bills.

One must know that in the mountains and forests of Taoyuan, Xiao Nan has planted large tracts of precious medicinal materials, many of which cannot be bought in the market, and for the sake of healing their lives, those rich people can only be slaughtered obediently.

If the thatched cottage is well managed, it is also a cause that can be passed on to future generations.

Xiao Nan had thought about it a long time ago, she wanted to build more Ci'an Thatched Cottages, preferably one in each provincial capital.Ci'an Thatched Cottage is different from ordinary pharmacies, this is a welfare enterprise in the name of charity, it will never lower Xiao Nan's status, on the contrary, it will win her the reputation of charity and pure filial piety.

Now she no longer counts on Uncle Cui, if she wants to live a good life for herself and her children, she must rely on herself.

Building the Ci'an Thatched Cottage is only the first step, Xiao Nan has other plans.

In the afternoon, Lingxi played and took a nap with the four girls sent by Luoyang. After Xiao Nan coaxed Changsheng to fall asleep, he stepped into Taoyuan.

Through Taoyuan, Xiao Nan came to Taicang Island, summoned Xiao Yi, and asked, "I ordered you to visit the deserted island, how is the progress now?"

Xiao Yi bowed slightly, and replied: "Reporting to the master, a desert island was found 79 nautical miles east of Taicang Island, with an area of ​​about 30 square meters. The island is uninhabited, with lush vegetation and fresh water. Humans can live there."

Xiao Nan was very satisfied, nodded in approval, and immediately ordered: "Now, you take Xiao Zhong, Xiao Xin and Xiao Ping to reclaim the deserted island, and plant food and fruit trees like Taicang Island. Well, this island is temporarily named Dongcang Island!"

Xiao Nan decided that she would open up a few or even a dozen deserted islands in the vast sea. No matter how she lived in Middle-earth, these places were her most stable bases.

Even if the accident in her previous life happened again and the jade bracelet was broken, she still had a way out.

However, Xiao Nan didn't know that this plan of hers caused her a lot of trouble...
