Chapter 174: Response
The statistics of exam results, there are a group of scholars who are like chicken blood to worry about, Xia Hongsheng doesn't have to worry. After returning from teaching Li Lao Er to do tai chi boxing in the palace, he went around the barracks and went back to the camp directly.
Duan Zan had just returned from the place where the pigeons were trained, and there was no latest news from Xia Zhou, indicating that the situation there was stable, and the spies were still doing relatively well.
Before the buttocks were hot, I heard rumors outside that someone asked to see him, saying that it was someone sent by Yan Shigu, and Xia Hongsheng asked him to bring it in, but it was Liu Fang, the head of the attendants in front of Yan Shigu, who said that he wanted Xia Hongsheng to go to Guozijian.
As soon as Xia Hongsheng heard this, he immediately pondered that it must be a matter of movable type printing, so he was about to leave the barracks, just as Duan Zan was going to the place where the special forces were training, the two of them went out of the barracks together and went in two directions.
It didn't take long for Xia Hongsheng to arrive outside the Guozi Prison, and when he arrived at the door, he was about to speak, but the guards had already let him go. Thinking that Yan Shigu must have explained in advance, Xia Hongsheng walked in by himself, and when he arrived at the place where Yan Shigu took him to see Kong Yingda on the day later.
After entering the courtyard, he knocked on the door, and after hearing the response inside, Xia Hongsheng pushed the door and walked in, and saw Yan Shigu and Kong Yingda sitting there talking, and there was another person, it was Li Gang Li, so he stepped forward to salute.
"Jingshi, what do you think this is?" Yan Shigu smiled and handed over something.
Xia Hongsheng stepped forward to take it, unfolded the cloth he was holding outside, and there was a smell of ink in his nose.
"This ......" Xia Hongsheng was a little excited, since it was printed, could it be made by movable type?
Sure enough, I saw Kong Yingda smiling and brushing his beard and said: "Those seal carving craftsmen have not stopped for more than a month, and finally carved out all the commonly used movable characters the day before yesterday, and also engraved the movable characters of pinyin at the same time. Jingshi this book in your hand. But it was the first book printed with movable type! ”
"Thank you Master Yan and Master Kong, the students are so honored!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and saluted.
Li Gang waved his hand and said, "I heard that this method of movable type printing is related to pinyin rhyme. It's all your invention, and it's up to you to take the jackpot. ”
After Li Gang said that, Yan Shigu and Kong Yingda also nodded, but they heard Yan Shigu turn to Kong Yingda and say, "I think, I will ask Jingshi to stay today." Began to teach pinyin in Guozijian. It is not difficult to learn this law, and if we can see the results soon, we can report to Your Majesty as soon as possible. ”
Kong Yingda thought about it for a while, and then nodded and agreed, although he was a little pedantic and conservative, and stuck to Confucian culture, but the benefits of Xia Hongsheng's move were obvious, and it was greatly beneficial to promoting the spread of Confucian culture, so Kong Yingda was very supportive and did not make any objections.
Xia Hongsheng is not afraid of lectures. But I was a little worried about the students of Guozijian, when I was waiting for Yan Shigu and Kong Yingda outside that day, the students of Guozijian who came to ask for advice, although they were teased by Xia Hongsheng and played away, it also showed that the students in Guozijian were dissatisfied with Xia Hongsheng. This is different from in the Hongwen Museum, where most of the people are acquaintances, and the relationship between them is better, and there is more contact and more understanding. So at that time, there were punctuation marks in the Hongwen Museum, and no one came out to choke and fight for fame. But in Guozijian, it's different. At the end of the day, there's no home field advantage!
The literati are light. Since ancient times. The literati despise each other, and this has been the case since ancient times, and these scholars in the Guozijian can enter the Guozijian to study at such a young age, and the future is immeasurable, so they are all arrogant masters. Moreover, most of the people in the Hongwen Pavilion are relatives of the emperor or the children of high-ranking officials. There are a large number of families in the country, and these students from the family have inherited the prejudices in their families and look down on the scholars from the poor family, but Xia Hongsheng was born in a poor family, so Xia Hongsheng said here that they may not cooperate.
Xia Hongsheng hesitated, but still agreed. It's just a bunch of students, and I'm afraid of them? You can say that you can cry to him!
Even if he only hesitated for a moment, he was still seen by the three people present, how could these three people not know what Xia Hongsheng was worried about, so they listened to Li Gang and said: "Just talk about it, don't worry too much." ”
"Yes, the old man and others will help you from the side, this pinyin rhyme is created by you, so you know the trick best, so it is most appropriate for you to teach." Yan Shigu also stroked his beard and smiled: "Jingshi, you just need to explain." ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, and in this way, after ending his life as a teacher in the military camp, Xia Hongsheng did not have time to take a break, and then ushered in the educational career of Guozijian again.
Fortunately, the time was not very long, and he only taught in the Guozi Prison for more than a day, and led the practice for more than a day, and then it was over. Although some people were really unconvinced, but with Li Gang, Kong Yingda, and Yan Shigu in charge, those who were not convinced did not dare to make a mistake, so they had to listen.
However, naturally, there are also people who listen attentively, such as those who have listened to Xia Hongsheng talk about punctuation and sentence breaking in the Hongwen Museum before, and they are very cooperative this time. There are also some people who feel that listening to Xia Hongsheng's lectures is much more lively and active than listening to the old master's lectures, and they are also very cooperative.
In three days, Xia Hongsheng had already taught pinyin to the students of Guozijian Middle School. When I was about to continue to explain pinyin to the students of the Hongwen Museum, I unexpectedly waited for someone from the barracks at the door of the Hongwen Museum.
"General Xia, news from Xiazhou." Because it was outside, the sergeant lowered his voice and whispered in Xia Hongsheng's ear: "Hurry!" ”
Xia Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and saluted Yan Shigu, who was about to enter the Hongwen Pavilion, and said, "Master Yan, there is an urgent matter in the army, and the students are afraid that they will leave immediately." ”
"Oh?" When Yan Shigu heard what Xia Hongsheng said, he nodded very reasonably, and said, "It's okay, the military situation is important, let's go quickly." ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said to Yan Shigu: "Master Yan, Brother Xu Qixian has learned pinyin, and he has also been to the military camp to help students teach those soldiers pinyin before, he is very experienced, you can ask him to explain." Xu Hui also studied with Weichen, and she can also explain. ”
"Okay, the old man can save it, you can go quickly, don't delay the military situation." Yan Shigu nodded and said.
Xia Hongsheng confessed, and quickly left the Hongwen Pavilion with the sergeant, and rode straight to the barracks.
When they arrived outside the military tent, they saw that Duan Zan had just arrived, and after turning over and dismounting, he entered the military tent with Xia Hongsheng, and there were already soldiers waiting for them there with a strip of cloth. Duan Zan sent a trustworthy Duan family soldier to wait at the place where the carrier pigeon was trained, and once a carrier pigeon came back with the news, it would be brought back immediately and handed over to Xia Hongsheng and Duan Zhan.
The two of them took the note, and added the numerical code written with a red red pen, and it was really urgent.
Duan Zan immediately took out a copy of "The Art of War" from his body, and after opening it, Xia Hongsheng read the number code, and Duan Zan found the corresponding words from it, put them together, and soon got the content of the message on the cloth.
At a glance, the two of them were immediately surprised, it turned out that Liang Shidu actually got a batch of cattle, sheep and grain from the Turks, and then gave food and porridge in Shuofang! As a result, many people who had already believed the previous rumors began to change their attitudes again.
Xia Hongsheng frowned, he didn't expect that the Turks would give Liang Shidu food. The Turks themselves are extremely short of food, and they rely on beef and mutton as their staple food on weekdays, and food is already extremely scarce. Moreover, at present, there is discord within the Turks, and the two Khans of Jieli and the Khan of Turks are not convinced of each other, and there have been several contradictions, and there are already signs of intensification of contradictions. Someone in the court had already proposed to take the opportunity to attack the Turks, but Li Shimin felt that Lizhou had only quelled the rebellion, and the Liang division had not yet been destroyed, and it was difficult to completely wipe out the Turks with the current strength, so he temporarily suppressed it under the pretext that it was immoral. At this time, it is said that Jieli Khan should no longer spare his strength to support Liang Shidu.
"I didn't expect that the Turks had reached such a point, and Liang Shidu could still drag a bite of food from the Turks' mouths. It's underestimating this Liang Shidu. Duan Zan snorted coldly and said.
Xia Hongsheng frowned, feeling that Liang Shidu was obviously more important than Tuli Khan's affairs to deal with Tuli Khan, and at this time, he was not afraid that Tuli Khan would take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass him.
"Let's fight psychological warfare, fight public opinion warfare, he Liang Shidu also wants to play like this, let's play with him." Xia Hongsheng sneered and said, "Brother Duan, you write it down and code it later." First, let those spies continue to spread rumors, saying that Liang Shi is here without three hundred taels of silver, and he knows that he is tyrannical, so he pretends to make a gesture to win over people's hearts, and let the people of Shuofang be cannon fodder in the face of Li Tang's army. Second, he ordered the special combat team to secretly enter the city, infiltrate the place where Liang Shidu gave porridge and grain, and poisoned his food, so that there was no need to cause human life, laxatives and the like, in short, people would feel unwell after eating his food. Third, continue to contact the generals under Liang Shidu, it is best to rebel against a few first, without them doing anything to show sincerity, just escape from Shuofang City immediately. ”
Duan Zan nodded, wrote hard, and then flipped through the "Art of War" over there to compile a digital password and re-record it on the cloth.
"Fortunately, thanks to the carrier pigeons, we can grasp Liang Shidu's movements as quickly as possible and convey the countermeasures, otherwise, we will miss the opportunity." After finishing, Duan Zan said, and immediately went to release the carrier pigeons. (To be continued.) )
