The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Just as Yun Yanhui said to Renzong, he has to go to Yu Hao.

Yun Yanhui knocked on the door of Yu Hao's house, and after a while, he heard Yu Hao's voice, "Who is it?"

Yun Yan squeezed her throat back: "Yu Duliao, can I interview you?"

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

Yunyan laughed back and waved the newspaper in her hand, "Uncle Yu, you are famous."

Yu Hao: "..."

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

He also just accepts an interview according to Xiangfang's arrangement. This is the first issue. How did he know that the spread would be so wide.Now, the whole of Tokyo knows that a leaning tower is being built in Kaifeng, and many people go to Kaibao Temple to watch it.All kinds of discussions are endless.

Few people know Yu Hao's ability, but more people don't know who he is. They just discuss from their own cognition whether the Leaning Tower will be built in the future, and whether it can really stand upright like Yu Hao said. a thousand years.

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

Yun Yan went back into the room with Yu Hao and saw the room full of tools and blueprints. Yu Hao's daughter brought out tea. It was rare to order tea, because Yu Hao couldn't get used to the popular bubble tea. 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 Yan Hui, he also said hello to Yun Yan Hui.

Yu Lian was two years older than Yun Yanhui, so Yun Yan had to call her sister when she met her. Now when she saw Yun Yanhui, she sighed and said, "Recently, many people have been looking for Father, wanting him to supervise the construction of the pavilion. Well. If it weren’t for your big job at hand, I wouldn’t be able to push it.”

After all, Yu Hao is famous now, so he has attracted many local tyrants.If it weren't for the fact that his current job was for the officials, it would be really hard to refuse.

"That's why I said, Uncle Yu is famous." Yun Yanhui sat down with Yu Hao.

Yu Hao shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he brought a stack of blueprints and showed Yun Yan back.These are his drawings, 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, etc.

Yu Hao is very good at designing pavilions with gorgeous styles. The styles of these buildings are all unified. Looking at it from a panoramic rendering, they are patchwork and beautiful.

Its content setting is very modern, but its appearance is full of Northern Song Dynasty style, gorgeous and elegant, which is a combination of two eras.

"The design of the buildings in the garden is relatively open, because you require... to change often and new?" Yu Hao said.

Yunyan nodded back, because this garden is not a private garden, and it will be open to the public at that time. In order to attract the public to come frequently, the scenery inside must be changed regularly.Including the flower fields he plans to plant, the plants will also be changed with the seasons.

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

"I insist that the latrines should be very luxurious and there are many." Yun Yan replied.

This Yu Hao's design is relatively simple, he scratched his head, "I can understand that it needs to be repaired more, but it is very luxurious?"

"Well, you have to do a good job of eating, drinking, lodging, and transportation, otherwise how can you keep the guests." Yun Yan replied, "Uncle Yu, when it is convenient, a person is the most vulnerable and insecure, and many toilets , also give people a bad impression, especially in public places. If the toilets in a place give people a feeling of being at home, then I believe they will be happy to go out. After all, it is a bit far away. to convenience."

Yun Yan talked so loudly about the impact of latrines on the development of tourists, and Yu Lian next to him was slightly drunk.

Yu Hao accepted, "Okay, then I'll change the toilet again." He looked at his drawings, and Yun Yan had made a request before returning, that is, each cubicle should be closed to give guests more space. Private space.

But Yu Hao thought about it for himself, if he went to such a place to play, not only the food and drink were good, but even Lazard was in such a good place, he must also feel very good.

Thinking about it this way, Brother Yan really considered the ultimate from the standpoint of a tourist, so Yu Hao thought it was very good to demand perfection in the details, because he himself is also a person who is a bit picky and likes to innovate.

However, at this time, neither of them expected that the toilet would become the first reason for recommendation when everyone went to Amway to play there after a few years...but that's a later story.

The two pondered over some details, and after they were finalized, Yu Hao said that he would start to make changes immediately. After reading the changes, there was no problem, and Yun Yan could send them to Renzong to show the big boss.

Yu Lian said, "Brother Yan, why don't you stay and eat?"

Yun Yan replied: "Uh, I have something to do this afternoon..."

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

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

That's right, what the father and daughter wanted to keep him for dinner was that he would cook...

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

In fact, Yu Hao also knew the person Yunyan wanted to find when he went back, and that was Zhao Yunchu.

Previously, because she started to make newspapers, Yun Yan went back to watch the printing of newspapers. Because it was an official production, she didn't have to worry about quality and speed, and the printing workshop would finish it even if it was rushed.

But Yun Yan came back to think of one thing, why hasn't movable type printing appeared yet?

Yun Yanhui has never intervened in printing, because he knows that Bi Sheng, the father of movable type printing, is from this era, so he has been waiting for movable type printing to appear naturally in front of him.

However, it wasn't until he started editing newspapers that he realized that after waiting for so many years, he still hadn't witnessed the history of one of the four great inventions sweeping the world.It stands to reason that this thing was researched several years ago, right?

Yun Yanhui was a little worried about the butterfly effect brought about by herself, so she decided to ask Zhao Yunchu for help and find out.

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

So I simply asked Zhao Yunchu to talk to the magistrate who was in touch with them at Dali Temple, and searched for Bi Sheng and his movable type printing technique.

Zhao Yunchu naturally agreed, and at that time he used the channel of Dali Temple, and asked the local officials below to help him find the person.

At this moment, it was he who asked Yun Yanhui to tell him that there was already a letter.

Yunyan went back to Dali Temple to find Zhao Yunchu. Zhao Yunchu was at work, and when he saw Yunyan returning, he showed him a letter.

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

The magistrate said that he also searched for a long time in Hangzhou before finding Bi Sheng, an ordinary old printer, but he did invent a type of movable type printing several years ago, but there is no printing workshop at all. It is used, so even the magistrate took a lot of effort to find out.He felt strange how the senior officials in Beijing knew such a person.

The magistrate even went to find Bi Sheng personally, wanting to see is believing, and Bi Sheng was very frightened. When he heard that it was for movable type printing, he wondered if it was illegal.

The magistrate was indeed in charge of the criminal case, and his work 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 put in a lot of effort, and it took him many years to develop clay movable type printing. However, he couldn't implement it after many trips. I don't know if he was depressed and sick. In the past two years, his body has not been as good as before.

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

"I heard someone mention it by accident..." Yun Yan thought back, "How come such a good thing hasn't spread?"

He thought about it, maybe he took it for granted, thinking that such an awesome thing, once it appeared, would quickly become popular.

However, in fact, not every great new invention will be implemented smoothly at the beginning. After all, the times, environments, 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 it became a household name.Yunyan thought back, maybe, he should do something.

Yun Yan returned to Zhao Yunchu seriously and said: "Recommend him to the officials. He is a great person. I believe you can also see the benefits of movable type printing. This will definitely have a great impact on the printing industry in Song Dynasty and even in the whole world. have a huge impact, which indirectly affects many more things."

Yun Yanhui is not an official, so he can't make a recommendation, but Zhao Yunchu can.Since Bi Sheng also wants to promote movable type printing, he must have answered the call—after all, the emperor's call can also be declined, and everyone from scholars to the public is too arrogant these days.

Zhao Yunchu nodded, "Since he is a talent, it is natural to recommend him to the officials."

Renzong has always been thirsty for talents. From his inspection of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's martial arts, his conferment of official titles, and the fixed time of the imperial examination, we can know that during his ruling period, it can be said that he recruited talents from all over the world, and they were all used by the court.

When Yun Yanhui left from Zhao Yunchu's place, it was not time for get off work, but Yun Yanhui had wasted too many brain cells in the morning, so she decided to be lazy and combine work and rest.

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

Yunyan bent her legs back, barely stopped, and hugged the little tiger that jumped over, smiling all over her face, "Oh my god...it's heavy enough, baby."

The little tiger hugged Yun Yanhui's neck, leaned on him and refused to get off, and yelled, "Yan Fei..."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui said angrily: "Zhihe and Zhili are strictly prohibited... No, all people who are not up to standard Mandarin are strictly prohibited from teaching the little tiger Chinese! See how the children's accent is taught!"

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

The little tiger is very smart, but the bad thing is the smartness. After being interrupted by such an interruption, his Chinese accent is terribly mixed-after all, from Zhihe Brothers to Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Kaifengfu F4, and Yun Yanhui. Various rivers and lakes artists and so on, all come from all corners of the country.

Seeing Yunyan's angry look, the little tiger didn't understand, so he smiled and kissed him again, "Casting."

Yun Yan replied: "..."
