The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 136: Looking for Bi Sheng

As Yun Yanhui said to Renzong, he had to go to Yu Hao.

Yun Yan knocked on the door of Yu Hao's house back, and after a short while, he heard Yu Hao's voice, "Who?"

Yun Yan squeezed his throat back: "Yu Dulian, can I interview you?"

After coming over for a while, the door was suddenly opened, and Yu Hao was startled when he saw Yun Yan's face turned back.

Yun Yan laughed back and waved the newspaper in his hand, "Uncle Yu, you are famous."

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao said speechlessly: "It's not all because of you. Someone showed me the newspaper. I think the editor-in-chief is you."

He just accepted the interview according to Xiangfang's arrangement. This is the first issue. How did he know that the dissemination would be so widespread. Now, all Tokyo knows that Kaifeng is building a leaning tower, and many people still go to Kaibao Temple to watch. All kinds of discussions are endless.

A few people know Yu Hao’s abilities, but more people don’t know who he is. They just discuss from their own knowledge whether the Leaning Tower will be built in the future, and whether it can really stand up like Yu Hao said. Thousands of years.

Anyway, Yu Hao is famous. Whether people believe it or not, he is the most famous architect in Tokyo.

Yun Yanhui and Yu Hao went into the house together, and saw the tools and drawings all over the house. Yu Hao’s daughter brought out tea. The rarest thing is to order tea, because Yu Hao is not used to the popular soaks. Tea.

Yu Hao's only daughter, Yu Lian, was deeply influenced by her father and is now Yu Hao's first assistant, participating in this development project with him. After seeing Yun Yanhui, he also greeted Yun Yanhui.

Yu Lian was two years older than Yun Yanhui, so Yun Yan had to call her sister when she saw him. At this moment, when she saw Yun Yanhui, she sighed, "Recently, many people are looking for Dad and want him to supervise the building. Well. If you don’t have your big job on hand, you can’t push it."

After all, Yu Hao is now famous, so he has attracted many local tyrants. If he weren't doing this work for officials, it would really be hard to refuse.

"So I said, Uncle Yu is famous." Yun Yanhui sat down with Yu Hao.

Yu Hao shook his head, not crying or laughing. He brought a stack of drawings and showed Yun Yan back. These are the drawings he drew, including the main parts of the complex in the suburbs of Beijing, including the style shopping street, residential quarters, viewing pavilions, indoor playgrounds, gardens, food courts, and so on.

Yu Hao is very good at designing towers and pavilions with beautiful styles. The styles of these buildings are all unified. From a panoramic effect picture, they are scattered and beautiful.

Its content setting is extremely modern, but its appearance is full of Northern Song style, gorgeous and elegant, and it is a combination of the two eras.

"In the design of garden buildings, it is more open, because you require...changing often?" Yu Hao said.

Yun Yan nodded back, because this garden is not a private garden, it will be oriented towards citizens. In order to attract citizens to come, the scenery inside must be changed regularly. Including the flower fields he plans to plant, he will also change plants with the seasons.

Yu Hao again discussed details with Yun Yanhui. For example, Yun Yanhui was particularly concerned about the toilet.

"I insist, the latrines should be repaired very luxuriously, especially many." Yun Yan said back.

The design of this Yu Hao is relatively simple, he scratched his head, "I can understand that it needs to be repaired more, but it is particularly luxurious?"

"Well, eating, drinking, living, and transportation must be done well, otherwise how to retain residents." Yun Yan replied, "Uncle Yu, when it is convenient, it is when a person is most vulnerable and insecure, and there are many latrines. , It also gives people a bad impression, especially in public places. If a latrine in a place makes people feel at home, then I believe they will be happy to go out. After all, it’s a bit far away. If you want to stay, you will definitely meet To the convenience issue."

Yun Yanhui just talked about the impact of the latrine on the development of tourists, and Yu Lian next to him was slightly stunned.

Yu Hao accepted, "Okay, then I will change the latrine." He looked at his own drawings, and Yun Yan also asked before returning, that each compartment should be closed a little bit more for the guests. Private space.

But Yu Hao himself thought about it, if he went to such a place by himself, not only would he eat and drink well, but even Lazar would be in such a good place, he would definitely feel very good.

Thinking about it this way, Ge Yan indeed considered the extreme from a tourist's standpoint. The requirements for such perfect details made Yu Hao feel very good, because he himself is also a bit critical and likes to innovate.

However, at this time, the two of them did not expect that after a few years everyone would go there to play in Amway, the toilet has become the first reason for recommendation... but that is a later story.

The two of them pondered some more details. After finalizing, Yu Hao said that he immediately started to make changes. After the changes, there was no problem. Yun Yan could send them to Renzong and show them to the big boss.

Yu Lian said, "Brother Yan, can you stay for dinner?"

Yun Yan replied, "Uh, I have something else this afternoon..."

"What's the matter, there is still time for a meal, right?" Yu Hao asked.

"Okay..." Yun Yan stood up helplessly and walked into the kitchen.

That's right, the meaning of the father and daughter staying with him for dinner is that he is here to cook...

Yu Hao still has the wine that Yun Yan had given him before. Yun Yan fryed a few home-cooked dishes and drank two glasses of wine with Yu Hao before leaving.

In fact, the person Yun Yan was going to find Yu Hao also knew Zhao Yunchu.

Before that, because he started to make newspapers, Yun Yan went back and watched the printing of newspapers. Since it was an official product, there was no need to worry about quality and speed. The printing workshop would complete it even if it was rushed to work.

But Yun Yan returned to his thoughts, why has movable type printing not appeared yet?

Yun Yanhui has never intervened in printing, because he knew that Bi Sheng, the father of movable type printing, was from this era, so he has been waiting for movable type printing to naturally appear before his eyes.

However, it wasn't until he started to compile newspapers that he suddenly realized that after so many years, he hadn't waited to witness the history of one of the four great inventions that took the world by storm. It stands to reason that this thing was researched years ago, right?

Yun Yanhui was a little worried whether it was the butterfly effect that he had brought, so he decided to ask Zhao Yunchu to help and inquire about it.

However, Yun Yanhui was not sure where Bi Sheng was from. Yun Yanhui didn't know much about Bi Sheng's life. He only knew that some scholars inferred that he was from Hangzhou, but some people said that he was from Huainan.

So simply let Zhao Yunchu talk to the local officials who docked with their Dali Temple, and find Bi Sheng everywhere and his movable type printing.

Zhao Yunchu naturally agreed. At that time, he used the channels of Dali Temple and asked the local officials below to help find people.

At this moment, it was he who made people tell Yun Yan to reply that he had already believed.

Yun Yan went back to Dali Temple to find Zhao Yunchu. Zhao Yunchu was at work. After seeing Yun Yan back, he showed him a letter.

He asked a few people for help, and finally found Bi Sheng in Hangzhou, and the letter was returned by the magistrate there.

The local official said that he also searched for a long time in Hangzhou before he found Bi Sheng, an ordinary veteran printer, but he did invent a movable type printing technique. It was invented several years ago, but there was no printing shop at all. Use, so even the magistrate spent a lot of effort to find out. He felt strange how the senior officials in Jingli knew such a person.

The magistrate also went to see Bi Sheng personally. He wanted to see it as believable, and he was very frightened. When he heard that it was printed for movable type, he thought it was illegal.

The magistrate deserved to be in charge of the criminal case, and he was very reliable. Zhao Yunchu didn't say anything, but he also attached Bi Sheng's detailed information and his investigations in recent years.

Bi Sheng took a lot of effort, and it took many years to research the movable type printing with glue. However, after several rushes, he has not been able to promote it. I don't know if he is depressed or not. In the past two years, his figure has been very poor.

Zhao Yunchu curiously said: "Brother Yan, this person is not well-known locally, how did you know him?"

"I heard it by chance..." Yun Yan pondered back, "How come such a good thing hasn't been spread?"

He thought for a while, maybe he took it for granted, as soon as something so awesome appeared, it would quickly become popular.

However, in fact, not every great new invention will be implemented smoothly at the beginning. After all, the age, environment, characters, conditions, etc. are different.

Therefore, Bi Sheng, together with his invention, was indeed unknown in this era, and it was not until many years later that he became a household name. Yun Yan recalled, maybe, he should do something.

Yun Yanhui seriously said to Zhao Yunchu: "Recommend him to the officials. He is a great man. I believe you can also see the benefits of movable type printing. This will definitely affect the printing industry of the Song Dynasty and even the entire world. Have a huge impact, which indirectly affects more things."

Yun Yanhui is not an official, he can't recommend it, but Zhao Yunchu can. Since Bi Sheng also wants to promote movable type printing, he will certainly answer the call-after all, the emperor's call can also be rejected. These days, from scholars to the public, they are too arrogant.

Zhao Yunchu nodded, "Since he is an individual talent, he would naturally recommend him to officials."

Renzong has always been eager for talents. From his inspection of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's martial arts, the appointment of official titles, and the fixing of the time for imperial examinations, you can know that during his reign, he can be described as a collection of talents from all over the world, and they are all used by the court.

When Yun Yanhui left Zhao Yunchu's place, it was not yet time to get off work, but Yun Yanhui had lost too many brain cells in the morning and decided to steal a little laziness and combine work with rest.

As soon as Yun Yan returned home, a small cannonball fell from the sky and smashed into his arms.

Yun Yan bent his leg back, almost didn't stop, hugged the little tiger who had jumped tightly, smiling all over his face, "Oh my god...heavy enough baby."

The little tiger hugged Yun Yan's neck, leaning on him and refused to go down, and still shouted slimly, "Yan Fei..."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan said angrily and said: "It is strictly forbidden to be wise and rational... No, it is strictly forbidden for all people who are not standard in Mandarin to teach Little Tiger Chinese! It depends on how the children's accent is taught!"

Didn't he ask his family to teach the little tiger Chinese, but those who often ran to his house saw that the little tiger looked very much like Yun Yanhui, and liked to tease him and teach him Chinese by the way.

The little tiger is very clever, but the bad is the cleverness. Being interrupted in this way, he now has a terrible Chinese accent—after all, from the Zhihe brothers to Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Kaifeng Mansion F4, and Yun Yanhui. Artists in the arena and so on, all come from all corners of the world.

The little tiger looked at Yun Yan's angry look back. He half didn't understand, and laughed and kissed him again, "castrated my son."

Yun Yan replied: "..."
