Royal Road - Chapter 60

[Chapter 60]

“Lu Pingyuan is dead?!”

“Heqiao was defeated, and the King of Chengdu listened to the slander and barbarous his three clans. Not only Lu Pingyuan, but also Lu Qinghe were poisoned!” “This, this… The King of Chengdu

is

confused!”

A few days ago, Lu Ji led his army to attack Luoyang. The army was lined up and the drums were playing for hundreds of miles. The prosperity of the army was rare in the world.

However, Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, led the emperor to go on a personal expedition, and set up an array to meet in Luyuan. The soldiers fought fiercely for several days and completely defeated the army under Lu Ji.

Countless soldiers died in the Qili Stream, and the stream was cut off.

In this battle, the King of Chengdu lost tens of thousands of troops. He was furious and listened to the slander of his confidant, and even ordered Lu Ji to be killed and his three clans to be slaughtered.

After the news came out, everyone was shocked.

“Erlu” has outstanding literary talent and is the first of Jiangzuo’s famous scholars. After entering Luoyang, it became famous all over the world.

Now that he has died in vain, how can one not mourn and sigh.

“It is said that when Lu Pingyuan died, he once sighed and said, ‘I want to hear the Huating crane, can I recover?’, that day there was white fog, the strong wind broke the trees, and the ground was covered with snow, which shows the injustice of the Lu family.

” Huating Heyu said that everyone present couldn’t help but have tears in their eyes.

Another soldier died under Sima’s sword, how can one not feel the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox.

One of them wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said, “In this way, the King of Chengdu will retreat, right?”

Although Lu Ji’s death is regrettable, if Luoyang’s siege can be resolved, this hard battle will not be in vain.

Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head: “The King of Hejian sent Zhang Fang, his general, to help the King of Chengdu, Faluo. The war may not stop.”

Everyone was silent.

It seems that the King of Chengdu will not give up until Luoyang this time.

There was no more talk, Cui Liang cupped his hands, walked out of the small courtyard, and walked towards his grandfather’s room.

These days, my grandfather also remembers things about Luoyang, which should naturally be revealed as it is.

But my grandfather is already over ninety years old, so what if he is angry and hurts his body?

With a long sigh, Cui Liang respectfully came to the study room, and said, “Father, my son

has news from Luoyang.” Unexpectedly, the old man leaning on the table didn’t answer for a long time. .

Cui Liang couldn’t help but feel a little worried, and took a step forward: “Eldest father?” After

a long time, the old man said: “The King of Chengdu has been defeated?”

Seeing that his grandfather had already guessed the outcome of the battle, Cui Liang quickly said: “The army was defeated at Heqiao, and many people died. It is said that the stream has been cut off.”

“A big defeat… Is Lu Shiheng okay?” the old man asked again.

“Lu Pingyuan was divided into three clans by Wang Yi of Chengdu…” Cui Liang replied cautiously, for fear that his grandfather would have any mood swings.

Unexpectedly, the old man’s face was as usual, and he nodded slightly: “People from the south, who are committed to the dark master, should have this disaster.” The

old man was thin and his eyes were cloudy, but his mind was very clear.

Cui Liang couldn’t help but sigh: “What the eldest father said is that the king of Chengdu is domineering, not the master.”

Thinking back then, the king of Chengdu had also spread far and wide. Who would have thought that he would become so tyrannical and cowardly after only a few years in power.

Now that I think about it, the king of Changsha in Luoyang City is brave and resourceful, loyal to the emperor, and can be the pillar of the country.

However, the old man had no intention of discussing this at all. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed to the things on the table: “Who printed this book?”

Cui Liang looked down and saw two books on the bookcase. The Diamond Sutra that I sent someone to buy before.

This sutra is extremely elegant and profound, even if you don’t like Buddhist principles, you can still feel its wonderful meaning.

In addition, the price is not expensive, and many people around him have bought collections.

Unexpectedly, the great Confucian grandfather’s generation would also be interested in Buddhist scriptures.

He hurriedly replied, “This is what Liang Zixi, Marquis of Shenmenting, printed. It is said that the Buddha entered a dream and passed on his scriptures.” The

old man frowned, “Where is the medical book?

” The book that was given was written by the imperial physician Jiang Yan in front of him. It taught a lot of ways to prevent and treat typhoid fever, and the boy has already let the servants learn it, so I don’t know if it works.” Cui Liang explained.

“Selling Buddhist scriptures, sending medical books?” The old man muttered to himself, and remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, “You can go to the Liang Mansion yourself…”

※

During this time, Liang Feng was really busy.

The business of Jingshu has surpassed that of other workshops. Whether it is located in Jinyang or Gaodu, the stores are extremely popular.

A batch of grain can be transported back every few days, and now Liangfu has two more granaries, not to mention this winter, I am afraid that I will not worry about food and clothing next year.

However, Cui Liang’s arrival still surprised him: “Cui Weng wants to entrust me to print a book?”

Cui Liang could naturally find the surprise of the person in front of him, suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, he nodded and said, “My ancestor is With this intention, what he wants to print is the book “Morning Clothes” written by him. Because there are many images, so I came to ask for it. Only ten volumes are enough. How much money is needed will be provided as much as they are. ”

To be honest, Cui Liang really couldn’t understand why his grandfather asked Liang’s house to print this book.

Although the Diamond Sutra looks novel, you can guess the printing method by flipping through it.

But just like engraving, you can engrave the book.

It is too extravagant and embarrassing to pay special money to print it.

However, his grandfather had his life, how could he dare to go against it, so he had to obediently beg to the Liang residence.

Liang Feng was even more surprised than he appeared on the surface.

Liang Feng doesn’t find it strange that Huai’en Temple wants to partner with him. After all, there is a Buddhist name as a golden sign, and the money he earns is not book money.

However, who from other aristocratic families can’t see the principle of these printed books?

Isn’t it just engraving printing, you can ask a craftsman to experiment a few times, and then you can print it yourself?

Why bother to ask him specifically.

What’s more, this Shangdang Cui Clan is not an ordinary person.

Cui You is one of the best Confucian scholars in the Shangdang Classics. He is very old, has a great reputation, and is extremely strict in his family management. He does not allow his children to be officials, and studies knowledge behind closed doors, which makes the Cui family famous.

Such a scholarly family, can’t think of how to make engravings?

That is hilarious.

However, after only pondering for a moment, Liang Feng said, “Since Cui Weng is interested, the boy dare not refuse. This book is much thicker than the Diamond Sutra, and I am afraid it will take 100,000 yuan to make an engraving.”

Grandfather had it!

Cui Liang was really surprised.

When he thinks about it, this Liang Langjun will probably refuse politely. After all, it involves money, whether it is not appropriate to accept it or not.

It is for this reason that he is extremely reluctant to lose this ugliness.

Unexpectedly, my grandfather said that Liang Feng might not refuse.

If Liang Feng responded, he would invite him to sit down at the mansion, he wanted to meet this person.

How did grandfather guess he would say yes?

After he had calmed down, Cui Liang couldn’t say what he meant, so he could only say: “A volume of “Diamond Sutra” costs 20 stone, would 100,000 yuan be too little?”

Who knew Liang Feng smiled and said, “This is Cui Weng’s hard work, how dare this kid be a professional? This money is only the cost of plate making, and when the edition is completed, the book and edition will be sent to the house together.”

Ah, even the book edition was given to them?

Isn’t this how much you want to print in the future, can you do it yourself?

Cui Liang did not expect Liang Feng to be so generous, but such a kind approach really warmed his heart.

Thinking of his grandfather’s words again, he hurriedly said: “That’s very good! If it can be made into an engraving

plate, I wonder if Liang Langjun can deliver it to the county in person? The ancestors may also thank him in person.”

home?

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows indiscernibly, but did not refuse, and said with a faint smile: “Cui Weng is famous all over the world, it is also an honor for this kid to see him. Zideng will deliver it himself.”

Cui Liang’s heart was immediately relieved.

I never thought that Liang Zixi was so good at talking, and he was polite and interesting. He didn’t have the style of those arrogant celebrities at all.

After relaxing, Cui Liang couldn’t help but chatted with Liang Feng about Buddhist scriptures for a while, had a light meal, and then left Liang’s mansion satisfied.

Cui Liang didn’t have any thoughts, but Liang Feng sneaked a little in the chat.

It seemed that Cui You’s intention to print the “Mourning Clothes” was entirely because of Cui You’s intention, and most likely it was not for the purpose of printing the book itself, but to meet him in person.

It was only because of his advanced age that he was incapable of doing things, that he thought of such a method.

Although he didn’t know the meaning of this great Confucianism, Liang Feng really couldn’t refuse.

Because this great Confucian was also the mentor of Liu Yuan, the champion general, the military superintendent of the Five Divisions, and the commander of the left division of the Xiongnu!

In this era, Shi En is the only relationship between Jun En and Qin En.

Some teachers and apprentices who inherit Taoism are even closer than their own father and son.

Although I don’t know if this great Confucian scholar can accept the rebellion of his students, and what will he do in the process of the establishment of the Xiongnu.

But seeing him, it might not be a way to get to know Liu Yuan.

How could Liang Feng miss such an opportunity!

Taking a deep breath, Liang Feng got up and walked to the study behind him.

Now his study room has been opened up again. In the middle of the room, there is a high wooden table, on which is a large sand table, which is full of mountains and rivers made of clay, although there is no strategic map for future generations. Accurate, but also very intuitive to show nearby terrain.

Seeing Liang Feng entering the door, Yi Yan raised his head: “My lord, the sand table from Liang’s residence to Gaodu is almost finished.”

“Very good.” Liang Feng walked to the sand table and squinted for a while. , asked, “Are these mountains made according to the actual scale?”

Yi Yan: “What is the actual scale?”

Seeing the blank look on Yi Yan’s face, Liang Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Yes, how can people in this era know the theory of proportions, and it is even more impossible to measure mountains on the spot, I am afraid they can only rely on empirical observations.

Shaking his head, Liang Feng said, “That’s good. Wait until this picture is completed, and then expand the scope. You have to go out more, at least in Shangdang County, you have to get a clear understanding.”

Yi Yan nodded, these days , he often travels around, and it is really a matter of geography that cannot be trusted to others.

However, in this way, they have to practice and make sand tables, and they will spend less time in the house.

However, this time, the anxiety in his heart was not as good as before, because every time he passed by the village where his clan lived, he would think about the situation of that day.

This is something the lord requested, there must be a reason for it, and it must not be ignored!

Not paying attention to Yi Yan’s expression, and after looking at the sand table for a while, Liang Feng walked out of the room, sat down in front of the case, and took out a pen and paper to think.

He also learned military map drawing when he was in the military academy, but he has almost forgotten it now. What is the formula for calculating the mountain?

Smearing on the paper, Liang Feng almost bit the pen and thought hard.

At this time, Zhou Kan walked in with a stack of account books: “My lord, I have another 200 shi of grain today. According to the budget, I am afraid that it will be enough for two years. Now the price of grain is not cheap, should I change it? Silver money?”

Liang Feng was stunned for a while looking at the cheerful face, and suddenly said, “Xiaozhi, do you know how to calculate the height of the mountain?”

“Ah?” However, one of my grandfather’s original disciples seemed to understand a little better, and for this, he secretly went to Qingzhou and worshipped a new master, and he almost didn’t make his grandfather angry.”

Can he join another school these days?

Liang Feng was also interested: “What’s that person’s name? Is he still in Qingzhou now?”

“His name is Li Xin, his name is Zile, and he is still in Qingzhou. It is said that he is sorting out the classics of Shimen. There is a way to calculate the height of the mountain, it should be called… heavy difference?”

Heavy difference?

It sounds familiar… Liang Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped up from the seat: “Is his new master’s last name Liu?!”

Startled, Zhou Kan stammered: “Yes, It’s surnamed Liu. Does the master know their faction…”

Too much!

Liang Feng was so excited that he almost didn’t cry out.

Isn’t that Liu Hui!

One of the top mathematicians in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, revised the “Nine Chapters of Arithmetic”, and added a chapter “Heavy Differences” at the back. In the Tang Dynasty, it was specially proposed and renamed “The Island of Arithmetic”.

This is simply the ancestor of cartography!

Who has learned map drawing who doesn’t know?

!

He was so confused, how could math just be used to settle accounts?

That is clearly the mother of all kinds of science!

If you can have a direct disciple of Liu Hui by your side, you will make a lot of money!

“Can you invite this Mr. Li to the Liang residence?” Liang Feng asked immediately.

Did you use “Mr.”?

I have never seen a master Lang so rude, Zhou Kan said in a daze: “He, I am afraid he will not come. The road is far, and he is obsessed with counting…”

“If he is willing to come, I can help him publish the master’s door. All the classics in the book will make it immortal!” Liang Feng said immediately!

Don’t dare to say anything else. With the big killer of printing in hand, would you really not be tempted to engage in academic creation?

Zhou Kan kept his mouth shut.

He knew that printing books, although he made a lot of money, the cost of rigidity was not small.

If he could engrave all the classics of the master’s sect into a woodblock, I’m afraid that kid Zile would really be tempted.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, “I’ll write a letter to ask.”

“Write it quickly, I’ll have it delivered quickly!” Liang Feng took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

If he could recruit a reliable mathematician, he might be able to go further than he expected!
