The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 136: Looking for Bi Sheng

As Yun Yanhui said to Renzong, he had 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?"

Yunyan squeezed her throat back: "Yu Dugua, can I interview you?"

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

Yunyan smiled 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 actually you."

He also just accepted an interview according to Xiangfang's arrangement. This is the first issue. How did he know that it would spread so widely. Now, all Tokyo knows that Kaifeng is building a leaning tower, and many people still go to Kaibao Temple to watch. Various discussions are emerging.

Few people know about Yu Hao's ability, but more people don't know who he is. They only discuss from their own knowledge whether the Leaning Tower will be built in the future, and whether it can really be like what Yu Hao said. That way, it will stand for thousands of years.

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

Yun Yanhui and Yu Hao entered the room together and saw the tools and drawings all over the room. Yu Hao's daughter brought out tea. It was rare to order tea, because Yu Hao was not used to eating now. Popular bubble 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 Yanhui, he also said hello to Yun Yanhui.

Yu Lian is two years older than Yun Yanhui, so Yun Yanhui has to call her sister when she sees her. When she sees Yun Yanhui, she sighs: "Recently, many people are looking for Dad and want him Supervising the building of the pavilion. If it wasn'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 he was doing this job for the official family, it would be really hard to refuse.

"So 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 them to Yun Yan. These are his drawings, including the main parts of the complex in the suburbs of Beijing, including style shopping streets, residential quarters, viewing pavilions, indoor playgrounds, gardens, food courts, etc.

Yu Hao is very good at designing pavilions with beautiful styles. The styles of these buildings are unified. From a panoramic rendering, they are scattered and unbelievably beautiful.

The content setting is very modern, but the appearance is full of Northern Song Dynasty style, gorgeous and elegant, and it is a combination of two eras.

"In the design of buildings in the garden, it is more open, because you require... to change frequently?" Yu Hao said.

Yunyan nodded back, because this garden is not a private garden, it will be for the public at that time. In order to attract the public to come often, the scenery inside must be changed regularly. Including the flower fields he is going to plant, he will also change plants 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 built to be extra luxurious, extra large." 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, food, drink, Lhasa, accommodation, and travel must be done well, otherwise how will you keep the guests." Yun Yan replied, "Uncle Yu, when it's convenient, it's when a person is most vulnerable and insecure. And many latrines also give people a bad impression, especially in public places. If a latrine in a place makes people feel at home, then I believe they will be happy to go out. There are bound to be problems of convenience.”

Yun Yanhui talked so eloquently about the impact of the latrine on the development of tourists, and Yu Lian next to him was slightly drunk.

Yu Hao accepted, "Okay, then I'll change the latrine." He looked at his drawings, Yun Yan had also made a request before, that each compartment should be closed a little, and More privacy for guests.

But Yu Hao thinks about it for himself, if he goes to such a place to play, not only eats and drinks well, but even Lazarus is in such a good place, he must also feel very good.

Thinking about it this way, Ge'er did take into account the extremes from the standpoint of tourists, and Yu Hao felt very good about the perfection of details, because he himself is a bit critical and likes to innovate.

However, at this time, neither of them thought that after a few years, when everyone else went there to play in Amway, the toilet became the first reason for the recommendation... But that's a story later.

The two pondered some details again. After finalizing it, Yu Hao said that he immediately started to make changes. After making changes, there was no problem. After Yunyan returned, he could send it to Renzong and show it to the big boss.

Yu Lian said, "Brother Yan, will you stay for dinner?"

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

"What's the matter, do you still have time for a meal?" Yu Hao asked.

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

Yes, the father and daughter meant to keep him for dinner, that is, he came to cook...

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

Actually, Yu Hao also knew the person Yun Yan was looking for, Zhao Yunchu.

Before, because I started making newspapers, Yunyan went back to pay attention to the printing of newspapers. Since it is an official production, there is no need to worry about the quality and speed.

But Yun Yanhui thought of one thing. Why hasn't movable type printing appeared yet?

Yun Yanhui has never been involved in printing, because he knows that Bi Sheng, the father of movable type printing, is a man of 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 a newspaper that he suddenly realized that he had not waited for so many years to witness the history of one of the four great inventions that swept the world. It stands to reason that this thing was researched several years ago, right?

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

However, Yun Yanhui is not sure where Bi Sheng is from. Yun Yanhui didn't know much about Bi Sheng's life, only that some scholars speculated that he was from Hangzhou, but some people said that he was from Huainan area.

So I just asked Zhao Yunchu to talk to the local officials who connected with their Dali Temple, and look for Bi Sheng and his movable type printing skills everywhere.

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

At this moment, it was he who asked Yun Yan to go back and had a letter.

Yunyan went back to Dali Temple to find Zhao Yunchu. Zhao Yunchu was at work. After seeing Yunyan returning, he read a letter to him.

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

The local official said that he also searched for a long time in Hangzhou before he found Bi Sheng, an ordinary old printer, but he did invent a type of movable type printing. It was invented several years ago, but it was fundamentally There are no printing houses used, so even the local officials took a lot of work to find out. He wondered how the senior officials in Beijing knew about such a person.

The local officials also went to Bi Sheng in person. Seeing is believing, and Bi Sheng was very frightened. When he heard that it was for movable type printing, he thought it was illegal.

The local official deserves to be in charge of the criminal case, and his work is very reliable. Zhao Yunchu didn't say it, but he also attached the detailed information of Bi Sheng and his investigations in recent years.

Bi Sheng has spent a lot of effort in researching the movable type printing with clay. However, he has not been able to implement it after many rushes. I don't know if he is depressed or not. In the past two years, his body has not been as good as before.

Zhao Yunchu said curiously: "Brother Yan, this person is not famous locally, how did you know him?"

"I heard someone say it by accident..." Yun Yan thought back, "How come such a good thing has not spread?"

He thought about it, maybe he still took it for granted. He felt that such a great thing would quickly become popular as soon as it appeared. However, in fact, not every great new invention will be implemented smoothly at the beginning, after all Times, environments, characters, etc. are different.

Therefore, Bi Sheng, together with his invention, was really unknown in this era, and it was not until many years later that he became a household name. Yun Yan recalled, maybe, he should do something.

Yun Yanhui said seriously to Zhao Yunchu: "Recommend him to the official family, he is a very great person. I believe you can also see the benefits of movable type printing, which will definitely benefit the Song Dynasty and even the whole world. The printing industry has a huge impact, which indirectly affects more things.”

Yun Yanhui is not an official, he can't recommend it, but Zhao Yunchu can. Since Bi Sheng also wanted to implement movable type printing, he must have answered the call - after all, the emperor's call can also be turned down. These days, from scholars to the public, they are so arrogant.

Zhao Yunchu nodded, "Since he is a talented person, he will naturally recommend it to the officials."

Renzong has always been thirsty for talents. From his inspection of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's martial arts, the addition of official titles, and the fixed time of the imperial examinations, we can know that during his reign, he could be said to have recruited talents from all over the world. used by the court.

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

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

Yunyan bent her legs back, almost didn't stand, hugged the little tiger that jumped over, smiling all over her face, "Oh my god...it's heavy enough, baby."

The little tiger put his arms around Yun Yanhui's neck, leaned on him and refused to go down, and shouted stickily: "Yan fat..."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yunyan said angrily, "It is strictly forbidden to be wise and wise... No, it is strictly forbidden for all those with non-standard Mandarin to teach Chinese to the little tiger! Let's see how the children's accents are taught!"

Didn't he ask his family to teach the little tiger Chinese. As a result, the people who often came to his house saw that the little tiger looked very similar to Yun Yanhui, and they also liked to play with him and taught him Chinese by the way.

Little Tiger is very smart, but the worst is in being smart. Being interrupted like this, he now has a terrible Chinese accent - after all, from Zhihe brothers to Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Kaifeng f4, and Yun Yanhui. Various arena artists, etc., are from all over the world.

The little tiger looked at Yun Yan's angry look, half understanding, and kissed him again with a smile, "castrated child."

Yunyan replied: "..."
