Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 158 An Angel Comes

After several experiments, Xu Qing first used lard to prevent the pine wood from absorbing water and swelled, and then brushed wax, and finally mastered most of the woodblock printing techniques.Not only the quality of printing has been further improved, but also the service life of a stereotype has been greatly improved.With the addition of wax, in order to further strengthen the rigid "preservation", that is, the shelf life, Xu Qing once again made a comparison of different woods.In the end, I chose jujube wood, which is comparable to pine wood in all aspects, but has a tight texture and strong corrosion resistance.

Looking for an early morning, Xu Qing avoided everyone, and based on his memory, he silently wrote down the rules for disciples in the study:
"Rules for disciples, sages' instruction, filial piety first, faithfulness second; universal love for all, benevolence and benevolence, and if you have spare energy, study literature...

... If it is not a holy book, don't look at it with your screen, blind your intelligence, and spoil your mind; don't be violent, don't abandon yourself, saints and sages can be tamed. "

Of course, these are only drafts, and Xu Qing dare not show them to others.I found Xun Xueer again and asked him to write it down word for word.What makes Xu Qing especially ashamed is that before meeting Xu Qing, Xun Xueer could hardly read a single word, but now that brushwork is beautiful and beautiful, which is much better than Xu Qing's "quaint" three-legged cat .

"Xue'er, is he awake?" Xu Qing saw Xun Xue taking Xu Xiaoqing for a walk in the backyard.

"Well, Xu Lang give me a hug, your hands are sore..." Xun Xueer pouted when she saw Xu Qing, and immediately changed from a kind mother to a well-behaved girl.Xu Qing originally invited a wet nurse, don't ask why, isn't it always played like this on TV?But Xun Xueer felt that it was better for her own child to drink her own milk, so she dismissed the wet nurse and replaced it with a more experienced mother to serve her.Xu Qing saw how much Xun Xue'er had been exploited by him, and if he didn't rule out those milks, it would be bad for her health.

"Come on, let Dad give you a hug..." Xu Qing took Xu Xiaoqing and weighed it: "It's growing very fast, it weighs about ten catties, right?"

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, naturally grow fast." Xun Xueer transformed into a young woman again.

Xu Xiaoqing struggled in Xu Qing's arms, stretched out his small hand to touch Xu Qing's face, with a pair of curious big eyes, he kept looking at the big head in front of him.Xu Xiaoqing saw this head appear every day, and now he is no longer afraid.And seeing this head rubbing against his mother every day, I couldn't help but become more curious. Is this big head my younger brother?

Huh?The head disappeared, what happened...

Scared, it appeared again, how did this happen?
Disappeared……

appeared again...
disappeared again...

appear again...

Xu Xiaoqing grinned brightly, Xu Daqing also grinned, and said to Xu Xiaoqing: "Stupid..."

Xu Xiaoqing pursed his mouth, and when the sun turned to cloudy, he burst into tears: "Wow~"

Xu Qing was in a hurry, handed it to Xun Xueer again and said:
"Khan, do you understand?"

Xun Xueer took it and shook it, Xu Xiaoqing stopped crying immediately, Xun Xueer said: "Father and son are connected, why doesn't he understand what you mean?"

Xu Qing stopped holding the baby, and hugged Xun Xueer in her arms, and each of them gave a big kiss.At this time, Xu Qing, or Xu Qing's body, was only twenty years old.Already had three wives, and by visual estimation, there will be a lot of children in just a few years.With so many children, Xu Qing still feels a headache when he thinks about it.

In the past, when he saw all kinds of sunbathing kids, he would comment that it was all about my business, but now, it has become true.

"Xue'er, help me write a stroke of calligraphy?" Xu Qing remembered the business, let go of the hug, and took out the written disciples hidden in his arms.

"My husband has a life, so I should obey my life..." Xun Xueer smiled, and pointed to a servant to get the four treasures of the study.After a while, the pen, paper and ink were brought over, and Xun Xueer put Xu Xiaoqing in the stroller made by Xu Qing, and went to spread the paper and write.Xu Qing was bored and ran over again
"Xu Lang, I don't understand this word..." Xun Xueer pointed to a word on the paper, Xu Qing leaned over to have a look, and it turned out to be the word "髀", so Xu Qing wrote it down for her stroke by stroke. .

Xun Xueer's handwriting is delicate, but not square and honest. Xu Qing doesn't plan to put it in the textbooks. It's not that the handwriting in the textbooks has to be honest, but the honest and honest characters do appear to be more serious.Moreover, it is delicate and elegant, and it is not for people like Xun Xueer who are simple and pure in heart, they cannot write it, and it is not easy to imitate and learn.

The Fang family was found, and Fang Fangzheng wrote all 360 sentences and [-] characters in the "Disciple Regulations", and then handed it over to the engraving workshop established by Xu Qing for engraving.

About sixteen pages of paper, only six sentences are printed on one side, only one side is written, plus the cover, a book has a total of 62 sheets.Originally Xu Qing wanted to write on both sides of a page, but now that students all use brushes, once they write, the second side will be looked down upon, so they gave up this economical plan.

How much is sixty sheets of paper worth?
When Xu Qing followed Zhang Zhong to raid the village in Shandong, he found dozens of large white papers in the house he searched, and he secretly exclaimed that the owner of this room is very rich.In this way, the price of sixty blank sheets can be known.

Of course, Xu Qing would not use white paper to print books.What he uses is rough, but cheap and thick yellow paper.The raw materials for these yellow papers are relatively cheap things such as rags, bark, hemp heads, and waste fishing nets. The cost of a book is only a few pennies, the price of a bucket of rice.Even if Xu Qing does not serve as an official here in the future, this sum of money will not cause headaches for later local officials and withdraw it.

For the textbooks of Kaimeng, this one will be used first, and there will be arithmetic, and the "Analects of Confucius" for the "senior grades" will be printed.Soon, there will be a scene of prosperity in Cangzhou Zhigui.

Xu Qing first copied [-] copies of this "Disciple Regulations", and distributed one copy to each of the [-] teachers hired, whether they were teaching arithmetic or scriptures.Xu Qing will explain this book to all the teachers one by one.

Xu Qing asked Wei Xian to choose a time to take these new teachers out together by taking advantage of the opportunity of spring, and teach them the pure interpretation of "Disciple Regulations".

However, Xu Qing forgot to tell Wei Xian that "internal secrecy is strictly prohibited to be leaked", so the news that he was going to give lectures had already spread like wildfire.

Although Xu Qing's fans in Cangzhou are not as good as those in Chang'an, they still have a lot of votes.In addition to the four counties of Cangzhou, the county magistrates of three counties are all Xu Qing's disciples, and this lecture was even more highly praised.

On the second day, more than 500 copies of the "Disciple Regulations" were copied out, all handwritten, not printed.After reading this "Disciple Regulations", all the students paid homage to Xu Qing.

"Disciples Regulations" is different from ordinary articles, it is written in three-character rhymes, and the rhymes alone contain skills that others will never learn in a lifetime.For an article, the sentences should be fluent and the semantics clear, and then the beautiful pens will be blooming, and the flowers will be clustered, and then a higher level will be returned to the basics and charm.

"Guidelines for Disciples" is not only easy to read, but also mixed with various etiquette and morality, classic stories, but the reading is extremely smooth and interesting.The most important thing is that the [-]-character "Disciple Regulations" very concisely conveys Confucian ideas such as loyalty, filial piety, propriety, wisdom and faith, which can be said to be very appropriate.In order to raise the status of his own ancestors, Mrs. Li regarded Lao Tzu as his ancestors, but this way of governing the country is more suitable for Confucianism.

In society, cultivating immortals does not delay etiquette, and debauchery does not mean lacking benevolence and righteousness. Everyone integrates various schools of thought and uses them for their own use.

The article "Disciples Regulations" was spread, and the various schools of research on Xu Qing's articles hit it off, and everyone agreed that Xu Qing's article was well written.It can be lived in the temple above, and it can be recited by children below.

There is no such thing as Yangchun Baixue, or Xialiba people, as well as this article written by Xu Qing, which conveys the teachings of the saints.If Xu Qing's copy of "The Li Weng Conversation with Rhyme" has been regarded as "Xu Zi", then this "Disciple Regulations" will definitely be the first choice.

The students are scrambling to spread rumors that Xu Qing is the one person who has received the true biography of a sage most since Dong Zhongshu in the Western Han Dynasty.Xu Qing's name also changed from Xu Zi to Xu Gong in an instant, like changing from 50 years old to 70 years old.But Xu Qing is only 20 years old~

In a private house in Cangzhou City, several scholars were anxiously waiting for something. When a figure moved at the gate, a scholar walked in. Everyone stood up and asked:

"Did you find out, did you find out, where does Mr. Xu give lectures?"

The scholars asked among the same year, and when they read the word "Xu Gong", they still respectfully clenched their fists, raised them above their heads, and saluted.

"Oh, don't talk about it, those so-called teachers are all so arrogant now, and they refuse to reveal half of it..." The scholar who entered the door poured a bowl of tea soup, and then said.

The waiting scholars couldn't help sighing when they heard this, and said angrily: "Tsk tsk, those people who forget their friends for profit, they ate at the same table with them last year, but now..."

"Everyone, it's better to ask others than to ask yourself... A man stood up and said, "Mr. Xu is giving lectures in the past few days. Why don't I take turns guarding the governor's mansion. Once I see Mr. Xu going out, I can notify others and follow along with me." superior……"

"This method is very good, let's sit on the sidelines..."

"You...how can you compare Mr. Xu to a rabbit? It's really insulting!"

"I'm being abrupt."

"Yeah, I would like to be the first to guard!"

"I'll go second!"

"I'd rather stay at night!"

"There is also the back door, I'll go to the back door..."

Everyone scrambled to be the first, since Gao Fengyun, even after ten days, the second small window of Xu Qing's house was guarded.

The scholar who came up with a plan suddenly suggested again: "Wait a minute, when everyone can keep watch, you must be quiet, and don't disturb Mr. Xu and his old man's study and work."

The rest of the people all said:
"It's up to you to say, Mr. Xu has a lot of opportunities every day, and I will naturally understand."

The teachers didn't tell where Xu Qing was teaching, but it was Xu Qing's request.The reason is that there are too many classics involved in "Disciple Regulations", and he can't explain them clearly!
The next day, before Xu Qing got up, the servant outside shouted in a panic:
"An angel is coming!"
