God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 408 It's Terrible To Be Uneducated
I saw that there was a soldier in that box.

Du He pointed at the servants and asked, "Didn't I say that those servants are all antiques, so they can't be given away casually?"

In fact, Du He is not an idiot. He knows that if all the terracotta warriors and horses are dug out, with the current technology, they may all be destroyed in a few decades or hundreds of years. Part of it is used for the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Viewing Hall for everyone to watch, and he ordered to stop the excavation of the others, and took protective measures around it, so that excavation will be carried out after the technology is developed in the future.

Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "Master, you don't know something. This soldier was not dug out, but Zhou Wuju from the R&D center. That kid is simply a genius. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it's fake. And The name of an ancestor of the Kong family is engraved on the back, although Master Kong is a master, he may not understand these things, and when the time comes, isn’t it a great gift for you to give this to him?”

What Zhang Jian said was beaming.

Du He went up and checked.

Indeed, although this military service is a bit shoddy, but from the perspective of this era, it can already be called a masterpiece.

Zhou Wuju was a craftsman who was good at making old things that Du He accidentally discovered. The two servants who were used to deceive Chen Shuda and Gao Shilian at the beginning were real, but their names were engraved by Zhou Wuju according to Du He's arrangement. Yes, it's time to confuse the fake with the real one.

Du He nodded with satisfaction: "Zhou Wuju never disappoints."

Zhang Jian said proudly, "I asked him to do this."

Snapped.

Before the words finished, Zhang Jian was slapped twice on the forehead by Du He with a fan.

Du He said speechlessly: "It will be successful, it will be successful, you...you let me tell you what is good about you, Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars, do you know?"

Zhang Jian shook his head: "Master, I don't know, I don't study much."

Du He said: "It's terrible to be uneducated... The first emperor burned books and buried Confucianism. All the Confucian scholars at that time were buried alive... Do you think that the Confucian family has been Confucian scholars for generations, would they still be willing to serve as Yin soldiers for the First Emperor?"

Zhang Jian slapped his thigh.

Snapped.

"Young master, I understand, he must have been forced to go there by Emperor Shihuang!" Zhang Jian said smartly.

Du He: "...Forget it, I don't want to talk to an uneducated person like you, so hurry up and smash this soldier statue to me. I'll prepare a new gift."

Confucius House.

In the study, Kong Yingda was writing with a brush in his hand. He was careful not to say anything, but the speed was very slow, and after a long time, his entire right arm was sore and uncomfortable.In addition, he is getting older, and his body is not as good as before.

Kong Yingda put down the brush, rubbed her right forearm, and said helplessly, "Oh, if this goes on, I won't be able to write much in a whole day."

At this time, the butler came in from the door.

"Master, Huyi County Hou Duhe is asking to see you at the door." The housekeeper said.

"Oh?"

Kong Yingda hurriedly raised her head and said, "It's Du He, hurry up, please... No, I'll go to the door to meet him in person."

Seeing Kong Yingda's excitement, the steward said in a puzzled way: "Master, although Du He is the founding county magistrate, but... you are a master, and your status should be higher than him. Why did you go to greet him in person?"

Kong Yingda reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense. In the future, you must not neglect Du He. At the beginning, Du He and I did have some feuds, but after a long time, I realized that although Du He's actions were extreme, but he At such a young age, he made a lot of contributions to Datang, especially with labor as relief, which helped tens of thousands of victims in one go. I beg Your Majesty, how can there be the Qujiangchi Guozijian today, besides, recently Du He opened the Banshan Academy, so that many children from poor families can read and write, this is a good thing."

After speaking, Kong Yingda came outside and personally welcomed Du He to the mansion.

When the good tea was served, the two exchanged pleasantries.

Then, Du He took out a box from his pocket and put it on the table in front of Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda said sternly: "Du He...what do you mean? If you need help, just ask, but if there is someone who can help, I have done my best. You should take back such things as soon as possible."

Du He smiled and said, "Master Kong, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to bribe you. I just heard that Master Kong has been sorting out ancient books recently. It's been very hard work, so I specially give you an artifact."

"What artifact?"

Du He opened the box, took out a pen-like pen, and said: "This thing is called a fountain pen. It is different from soft pens such as brushes. It is a hard pen. The advantage is that it writes smoothly and is very convenient. After using it , just wash it in warm water and put it away, and when you use it next time, just dip it in ink and use it.”

This thing was obtained by Du He in a lottery.

The principle is similar to the chicken feather pen, but it is more convenient to carry and more durable than the chicken feather pen.

Wang Xizhi's "Bi Jing" says: "It's wonderful for a few rabbits outside the mountains to use chicken feathers as brushes."

In this era, there are also a small number of chicken feather pens, which are made from the long hair on the neck of the rooster, which is destemmed and the short hair is pulled out. Even Kong Yingda used it, but finally gave up.

At this moment, seeing this exquisite fountain pen, Kong Yingda was so excited that he hurriedly took out ink and paper to write on, and finally praised: "Du He, you have solved a big problem of mine recently, and you have really helped me a lot Ah! In the future, I will have half the credit for sorting out my ancient books."

"Haha, Master Kong was joking. This thing is just a tool, and I absolutely dare not take credit for it." Du He said.

Afterwards, Du He said: "Master Kong, in fact, when I came to the door today, I wanted to ask for something."

"Please say!"

Du He briefly talked about the troubles encountered by the Banshan College.

After finishing speaking, Du He said: "Master Kong, the current situation of the Imperial College is exactly the opposite of that of my Banshan College. The Banshan College has too many students and too few teachers, while the Imperial College has too many teachers and too few students. As far as I know , most of the teaching assistants are out of work all day, so I want to borrow a dozen of you from you for a month first, of course, the salary will be calculated according to the treatment of other teachers in Banshan College, what do you think?"

Kong Yingda was a bit worried, and said: "Of course this is a good thing, but this Imperial College is His Majesty's Imperial College, I'm afraid it doesn't count if I agree. Your Majesty's consent is still needed. If Your Majesty does not agree, I will There is nothing you can do to help.”
