"This paper can be said to be a sacred item for writing!”
Liu Che wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper. In the end, he realized that writing on paper and writing on bamboo slips were completely different feelings.
Not only was he able to write with ease, but even the words he wrote were much more beautiful. He could not help but praise.
Moreover, compared to the bamboo slips, the words on the paper were more convenient to read. As long as the paper was spread out, what was written on it would be obvious at a glance.
On the other hand, the bamboo slips were much more tiring.
First of all, it was woven from pieces of bamboo. In addition, the words on the bamboo were small and unclear, making it very inconvenient to read. After a long time, his eyes became tired and he was very tired.
Liu Che continued to write dozens of words on the blank paper. In the end, he realized that he hadn't even used up half of the space on the paper.
When he turned around and looked at the cart of bamboo slips beside the table, his eyes became a little disgusted.
He put down the brush in his hand.
Liu Che looked at the process of making paper and the raw materials needed. He found that the raw materials needed to make paper were really cheap. They were tree bark, bamboo, reeds, rice straws, wheat straws, and other items that could be seen everywhere. Not only were they extremely cheap, but they were also very easy to find.
It was hard to imagine that such a gorgeous and soft paper was actually made of such cheap materials.
This made Liu Che deeply admire Xu Yan, and he was even more curious about the study of things that he had mentioned.
"Such a paper making technique is truly incomparably miraculous, and it's the blessing of our Darkhan Dynasty.”
"Teacher Xu was able to create paper and offer the art of making paper to me. It can be said to be a rare achievement.”
Liu Che was excited and said loudly,""I wonder what kind of reward Teacher Xu wants. As long as I can satisfy it, I will definitely satisfy it.”
He was also constantly thinking about what reward he should give Xu Yan.
Putting everything else aside, just the contribution of " offering the art of paper making " was enough to make him a marquis.
Not to mention that Xu Yan was also a world-shocking talent.
"Your Majesty, you praise me too much. It's just a trivial contribution. How can I deserve Your Majesty's praise?”
Xu Yan said with a smile. He didn't feel complacent because of Liu Che's praise.
He paused for a moment before continuing,"" Of course, if Your Majesty really wants to reward me, you can reward me with a school and allow me to preach the study of things in Chang 'an.”
" A learning palace, giving lectures?"
Liu Che was stunned when he heard this request.
Then, he quickly reacted and couldn't help but gasp. He asked,"Is Teacher Xu preparing to imitate the ancient sages and educate the world?”
He was walking the path of the ancient sages and becoming a Saint.
Xu Yan shook his head and said," Your Majesty, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I be compared to the ancient sages? So, there's no need to say much about educating the world. What I want to do is to teach and educate people. I want to impart what I have learned to those who need it."”
Although Xu Yan also thought so, he should be humble when necessary.
At the same time, this was also a method that he thought of to ensure that the family's inheritance would last for a thousand years and that it would have the greatest possibility of changing history.
Just like Confucius.
Not only did his Confucian teachings influence the later generations for more than 2,000 years, but even his family had become the holy land of Confucianism and scholars in the Dragon Country.
No matter how the dynasties changed and how time passed, he would never fall, enjoying the titles of the dynasties and the incense of all living beings.
What was a thousand-year-old family?
Only a family like the Residence of Confucius could truly be called a thousand-year-old family.
Xu Yan saw it very clearly. In this competition that had lasted for a thousand years, his greatest advantage was not his memories of the future or what he had learned, but his golden talent of the Nine Lives Reincarnation.
Therefore, he didn't need to care about temporary gains and losses at all. As long as he could ensure that his family wouldn't be cut off and that there was room for the Nine Lives Reincarnation talent to be used, he could continue to stretch the battle line, change history bit by bit, increase his ranking, and obtain the final victory.
Therefore, in Xu Yan's plan, his biggest goal in this life was not to help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty unify the world and leave his name in history.
Instead, he wanted to make the Xu family of Yan into an academic holy land like the Kong family of Qufu and the Longhu Zhang family of his previous life, ensuring that the family would not be wiped out due to disasters and wars.
The rest could be planned slowly.
This was also the reason why Xu Yan was constantly targeting and attacking the Confucians.
Dong Zhongshu and the other Confucians wanted to abolish the Hundred Schools of Thought and only worship Confucianism.
How could Xu Yan not want to merge the hundreds of schools of thought into one and let the study of physics dominate?
As the saying went, the battle of the Great Dao would not rest until one of them died.
If he didn't suppress Confucianism, how could his study of things become the mainstream of the Darkhan Dynasty and allow the Xu Clan of Yan to become the home of sages?
Thus, it wasn't that Xu Yan was deliberately targeting the scholarly faction. Instead, after he had decided on the path he wanted to take in the future, he had completely gone against the scholarly faction.
Liu Che naturally thought of this.
He took a deep look at Xu Yan, then took a deep breath and said,""Since Teacher Xu has spoken, I will not disappoint you.”
"Su Heng, pass on an edict to me, ordering the Great Craftsman to build a Research Academy in Chang 'an City for Teacher Xu's lectures.
In addition, the children of princes, dukes, ministers and officials were summoned to study in the School of Gewu. Xu Shi was conferred the title of Doctor of Gewu and was in charge of the School of Gewu. Everyone met him with the courtesy of the emperor's teacher. Those who violated the etiquette would be severely punished.”
"In addition, I will bestow Teacher Xu with a residence, a hundred bolts of silk, a hundred bolts of satin, ten thousand taels of gold, twenty beauties, twenty treasures, and a token to enter the palace. This will make it convenient for Teacher Xu to enter the palace and give lectures to me!”
The emperor's teacher was the emperor's teacher.
Although it was only a virtual position and did not have any real power, it was still extremely noble.
After knowing Xu Yan's ambition and true talent, the young emperor was convinced and respected him as the emperor's teacher.
"This servant obeys!"
When the chamberlain, Su Heng, heard the order from Liu Che, he was shocked and hurriedly replied.
He looked at Xu Yan, who was still sitting there calmly without any joy, and he was filled with admiration.
After all, as Liu Che's personal attendant, he knew Liu Che's pride better than anyone else.
To be able to make the proud Liu Che sincerely submit, in their first meeting, in less than half a day of talking, he was already respected as a teacher.
There was naturally no need to mention Xu Yan's intelligence.
He heard Liu Che's decree to respect him as a teacher and to specially build a study hall for him.
Xu Yan was also deeply surprised.
However, he was not an ordinary person. Even though he was surprised, he did not show it on his face. He only thanked Liu Che indifferently,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, as long as Teacher Xu doesn't mind my stupidity, that's fine.”
Liu Che laughed and joked.
Alright then.
He still couldn't forget some of the comments Xu Yan had written in his recommendation letter.
As he spoke, an attendant entered the hall and reported to Liu Che,""Your Majesty, the dishes prepared by the people from Xiaoxiang Restaurant are ready. Do you want to eat?”
"Meal?"
Liu Che was stunned when he heard the chamberlain's report.
To be honest, he had almost forgotten to ask the people from Xiaoxiang Restaurant to cook.
When he heard the report from the chamberlain, Liu Che was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Then, he nodded and joked,"Since it's already cooked, bring it up. I want to see what kind of delicacy it is that can actually earn Teacher Xu's praise.”
