The 139th chapter war of words (2)
Sun Wenben said hysterically: "You are talking nonsense! Are you so kind?!"
Li Mu smiled contemptuously and said, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? How can a person like you understand my thoughts? But it doesn't matter to tell you. As we all know, the Ministry of Works occupies a yard, which was originally a material pile yard, and the craftsmen built shantytowns to live in, and the conditions were very bad. I couldn't bear to have craftsmen live in such an environment, so I made up my mind to change and build a craftsman workshop for the craftsmen to live in. I paid advance money for this purpose. I built a craftsman workshop, and the craftsmen contributed their efforts, and I paid for it. Now I have spent 5,000 jin, and I have not used the court's monies to allocate funds!"
Li Shimin really didn't know about this matter. He glanced at Tang Jian and asked, "Ministry of Civil Affairs, can this matter be true?"
Tang Jian stepped out and replied: "Your Majesty, I am not very clear about it, but the Ministry of Works did not apply for funding. I can testify about this matter."
Li Shimin snorted angrily and said, "Sun Wenben! Zhulu Hou took out 5,000 guan to build a craftsman's workshop, and never asked for a single word of credit. If it weren't for your false accusation today, I wouldn't know. And you, without any achievements, will only bark wildly! It's really hateful! The person who came, dragged me out for twenty responsibilities and sent me to 3,000 miles! You will not be allowed to return within five years!"
Sun Wenben was dragged out, and Li Shimin glanced at the remaining two people, and the warning was self-evident. Chen Danqiu and Zhao Qing were also feeling a little guilty. Li Mu was too good to speak, and the emperor was obviously standing on his side. There were most likely things that would be impossible today. But they received too much favor from a family, and even if they knew they had failed, they had to say it.
Chen Danqiu bit his teeth and stood up and said, "Chen Danqiu, the chief clerk of the Imperial College, told the Marquis of Zhulu to despise culture and education, despise scholars from all over the world, and collided with the Imperial College. Kong Yingda, the descendant of Confucius, caused Kong Jijiu to faint and lie in bed and not get up for several days. Zhulu Hou, this is a fact, what do you have to say?"
"What I said is not entirely true. It is true that this marquis despises the scholars of the world, and it is false that it is false for me to despise culture and education. As for the collision between the Imperial Priest, Kong Yingda, and he was ill, the marquis could not recognize this matter. On that day, the marquis was present. What the marquis said and what the marquis said in his eyes. As a baron, Kong Jijiu relied on being a descendant of Confucius, he preached to Ben Wu everywhere and spoke rudely. Ben Wu thought of his age and did not care about him. After he thought that he was Confucius, he had more respect and said several times that he did not want to argue with him. But he refused to let go and insisted that this marquis apologize. This marquis was just to prove that the marquis's small path is not worth mentioning for this marquis, so he wrote a poem to him. Who knew that the poem was written and made him dizzy. The marquis was so narrow that he could blame me?"
Chen Danqiu had already visited Kong Yingda, how could he not know what happened that day? He said: "Even if your title is higher than that of Confucius Jijiu, he is older and a descendant of Confucius Saint. So what if you teach you a few words? How can you not respect him?"
Li Mu glanced at Chen Danqiu and said, "You are the chief clerk of the Imperial College, and I believe you have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius?"
"I learned it!"
"Okay, then Benhou will ask you, what is ritual?"
"I..." Chen Danqiu was choked and couldn't speak. Li Mu continued: "I have never learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, but I also know a little bit of 'ritual'. It's ridiculous that the descendants of Confucius don't know. What else can I say?"
"Then you shouldn't say that poetry and prose are trivial ways, and you should despise the scholars of the world!"
Li Mu frowned and said, "I really can't understand what you people think. Do you think it's the great way? You are not as good as me, so I'm not allowed to despise it. What's the reason? I just want to say that poetry and prose are minor ways, and despise the scholars of the world. What do you want? If you want to compare poetry and prose, you can set up two hundred-foot platforms in the downtown city tomorrow, and you and I will take the stage together, one sentence is one by one, and who will jump off the platform immediately if you don't match it, how about you?"
"You, you... are insulting your ethics!" Chen Danqiu had read the three poems written by Li Mu. He really had no confidence to surpass him, but he was still unwilling to accept it and said, "How can the matter of culture and education be like a reckless man? Even if you know how to write poetry, can you educate your disciples?"
"This is up to the point." Li Mu looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded slightly. Li Mu received permission and said, "When it comes to cultural education, I personally think that cultural education is not prosperous, and it is related to too few books. Aristocratic families have controlled books for a long time, so that there is no circulation of books among the people, and students are unavailable to learn. In order to change this situation, I invented something. With this thing, one set can make thousands of books in one day. From then on, there will be no shortage of books in the world, and the prosperity of culture and education is just around the corner."
"Don't say anything irrelevantly, how could such a thing happen!"
Li Mu ignored him and looked at Li Shimin. Li Shimin coughed lightly and said, "Marquis Zhulu did invent this thing, named it printing technology. I have read it, and what I said is not false. I will set up a printing supervisor soon. At that time, I will open the collection of Chongwenguan and Hongwenguan, publish tens of thousands of copies, and distribute it to all counties and counties in the world for students to read."
As soon as this statement was made, not only Chen Danqiu, but also many people who changed their faces on the civil and military officials in the court. They all came from aristocratic families without exception. You should know that over the past thousand years, aristocratic families have flourished because they have the right to inherit and interpret knowledge. This has led to the rulers being unable to do without them no matter how the world changes, and they all have to use them. But if they lose this advantage from then on, no one can be sure that the talents will not still come from aristocratic families after several generations.
Chen Danqiu never expected that Li Mu still had this hand and his mind was blank. But he was quite clear and knew that with this printing technique, Li Mu had made great contributions to cultural and educational affairs. He criticized Li Mu again, but he was uneasy. He bowed to the end and bowed to Li Mu and said, "Marquis Zhulu has great talents, which is beyond our ability. If the subordinates know that they are wrong, please forgive me."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Li Mu helped him up and said, "Although I'm young, I often meet with my uncle, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, etc., and have learned some truths. Doing anything, especially when doing research, do not be jealous of virtuous people. You should lower your attitude, learn more from others, and make your own progress, so that you can go further."
Chen Danqiu looked at him, took a deep breath, and said, "The Lord of Zhulu Hou is in mind. The Lord of Zhulu Gun asked again, "The Lord of Zhulu thinks poetry is a minor path, so I wonder what Zhulu Hou's comments on his poems?"
"Uh... I can't be considered very good when writing poetry. It's just that, "I'm so happy that I'll write and shake the Five Mountains, and my poems become a sarcastic and arrogant person in Cangzhou."
