Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 601 Eternal Jing!

Zhao Huan followed Zhao Ying to Jiying Tower, and before he reached the door, he smelled a scent of ink.

He strolled into the Jiying Building and met more than 100 painters waiting there.

Learning to paint is an extremely luxurious thing, and it has been like this since ancient times.

The dyes, paintbrushes, and tuition fees for studying alone are far more than the usual academic expenses.

As for the Painting Academy of the Hanlin Academy, according to Zhao Huan's understanding, it was not the state funds of the Taixue and the Imperial Academy that spent money on training, but they were responsible for the expenses themselves.

Zhao Huan only saw more than a dozen women, most of whom were men waiting in the Jiying Tower.

"Join Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe."

Zhao Huan walked up to the platform and sat on the first seat amidst the mountains and seas.

He looked at the painters in front of him. According to Zhao Ying's arrangement, after they met the emperor in Yanjing, they would go to the Kingdom of Jin, the Ministry of Creed, Goryeo, and the Kingdom of Wa.

The job I do is to help the scouts of the Imperial City Division to draw portraits of characters, so that the scouts can find out who they are.

There are also topographical surveys, map maps, city defense maps and other catalogs, which are sent back to the Song Dynasty.

"Let's all get up. Going outside this region is a foreign country. After returning to China, past achievements cannot be made public. The road ahead is full of bumps and hardships. Be very careful." Zhao Huan said with emotion as he looked at the more than 100 painters in front of him. .

Da Song, or in other words, the world is like this.

There are all kinds of people in the world, each with its own differences.

There are people like Du Chong and Qin Hui who are selfish and self-reliant only for themselves, and there are people who are not afraid of difficulties and dangers and are determined to serve the country.

"I would like to obey the sacred instructions." Everyone bowed their heads and said quickly.

Zhao Ying shouted loudly: "Today, I will test the portraits of the characters. I will use the two maids as a reference. I will finish writing in the time of three cups of tea. Start now."

It takes about 15 minutes for one cup of tea, and 45 minutes for three cups of tea.

Zhao Huan sat on the throne, read two letters, and read a few pages of the Imperial Examination, and the time passed quietly like this.

The entire Jiying Building was very quiet, only the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, and the slightly rough sound of panting.

Zhao Huan also stood up and looked around, but stood behind a painter and watched for a while, the painter was obviously sweating on his forehead, and the painting was crooked with trembling hands.

Zhao Huan also lost interest in patrolling. His own patrolling would only put pressure on them.

But after this circle, Zhao Huan realized that the figure paintings of Song Dynasty were not black and white ink paintings, but colorful paintings!
This is not in line with his understanding of traditional Chinese painting.

Of course, for him, his level of Chinese painting is only at the level of seeing through the tube.

[Reminder of historical events: Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been officials who dye grass in all dynasties, also known as dyers.For example, there was a dyeing department in Qin Dynasty, dyeing institutes in Tang and Song Dynasties, and indigo institutes in Ming and Qing Dynasties. 】

[Green is taken from blue, and green is from blue.Dye can be extracted from indigo grass. All five kinds of indigo can be used to make indigo, and woad indigo, Polygonum indigo, horse indigo, wood indigo and amaranth can all be used to make indigo. 】

[Red can use hematite powder, and then use madder on a large scale.Yellow can be extracted from gardenia, and black can be obtained from black cypress. 】

[In addition to the primary colors of blue, red, yellow, white, and black, there are also secondary colors, a total of 24 kinds. 】

[The history of Chinese art is a colorful history, not narrow and simple black and white. 】

[The terracotta warriors and horses in the Qin Dynasty were originally painted, and the tri-colored porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was even more famous, and the black and white porcelain of Song Ciyao was famous all over the world. 】

[Coloring is one of the basic abilities of a painter. 】

After reading the introduction of the system, Zhao Huan asked with some doubts, "But why do I remember that those paintings are all in black and white?"

[The colorful black will fade after a few years, let alone a thousand years? 】

Zhao Huan instantly understood that Chinese civilization has a long history, not only in length, but also in depth.

[The original Song Qinzong has a profound painting skills, is it called for memory display? 】

"Show me." Zhao Huan began to watch Song Qinzong's memory with relish. There was Song Huizong who liked painting very much, and Song Qinzong's paintings were also quite powerful.

After Zhao Huan finished reading, he took a deep breath,

Li Qingzhao drew a portrait of herself last time, and he hadn't returned her a portrait yet, so he took advantage of this opportunity to quickly fill in the painting.

In Zhao Ying's eyes, Zhao Huan's serious study looked more like a daze.

"Officials, all the drawings are finished. I have collected them." Zhao Ying whispered to Zhao Huan who was addicted to studying.

Zhao Huan came back to his senses and saw the painting on the table.

I also saw that there are so many brushes of different thicknesses in the hands of the painters, and the calluses on their wrists and fingers show how much effort they have put in in this field.

When Zhao Huan opened the first portrait, he looked at the two palace servants standing in front of him.

"It's really the deification of Danqing, with the six dharmas, and everything is perfect. Like! It's lifelike." Zhao Huan sighed again and again.

Six methods is a professional vocabulary of painting, it is a compliment that Zhao Huan has learned and sold, and it is the six painting techniques.

Apparently, the first painting is very similar and very charming, and even shows a bit of temperament.

Lifelike, ready to come out.

Zhao Huan turned over several of these portraits, and they all have the same profound painting skills!

"Okay! Reward!" Zhao Huan said to Zhao Ying.

"Thank you for your kindness." There was another burst of shouting.

From them, Zhao Huan also saw the hope of Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ying stepped off the stage again, put away another painting they drew, and summed it up carefully.

And these painters took the paintings in the hands of the painters sitting opposite each other, wrote their names on them, and handed them to Zhao Ying.

When Zhao Ying returned to the platform, Zhao Huan asked, "What is this?"

Zhao Ying put away a stack of paintings and said, "This is the portrait that the inspectors of the imperial city drew for the person sitting opposite when they set off. After the drawing is confirmed, they will write their names on it."

"It is convenient to confirm the identity in the future and prevent someone from impersonating. If someone dies in the enemy country, or there is no news, the portrait will be sent to their home to explain their whereabouts."

Zhao Huan swallowed his throat, this is the portrait left in Jiying Tower.

He looked at the hundred or ten painters under the platform, they were living people standing in front of him now,

But after leaving Jiyinglou and rushing to various places, they became a piece of paper and a name.

They became messages one after another, and among them, there must be many people who didn't even have any news.

Zhao Huan also somewhat understood why Zhao Ying was speechless and wanted him to come and see.

After this time, we will never see each other again.

Zhao Ying said cheerfully: "This is the current situation, only this kind of treatment."

"Before the Supreme Emperor, who would do these things? The Supreme Emperor thought it was troublesome and spent money. These painters could not be hired by the Ministry of Industry. They had nothing, and many people went to Liao and Jin."

"Now that the person is gone, a pension will be given, which is not bad."

Zhao Huan suddenly remembered the original pension of one hundred guan and fifty guan. Zhao Huan followed the advice and changed the pension to fifty guan.

With the purpose of self-realization and the ambition of being loyal to the Song Dynasty, they practiced the truth they believed in.

Warriors!
Zhao Huan looked at the group of painters, packing up his drawing boards, brushes and dye clips, and sat there quietly.

The eyes of the painters all fell on Zhao Huan, their eyes were full of hope.

Da Song's hope.

"Officials, see you too. It's late at night, let's go back to the palace." Zhao Ying arranged Jiyinglou to be cleaned up by the painters of the Imperial City Department, helped Zhao Huan up, and said with a smile.

Zhao Huan stood up and said to the painters who were about to leave for various countries, "My lords, your journey is smooth."

He felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and looked at them again, he was afraid that the courtiers in his palace would lose their composure.

When Zhao Huan turned to leave, he heard the shouts of the painters behind him.

"The wind is low and the water is cold, and the frost is on the blood. Whether it is successful or defeated, whether it is imprisoned or dead, people don't know it, and even after death, it will be unknown."

"The inscription says: Woohoo! The great sound is like a sound, but the elephant has no form. Come here is the spirit, and be safe. The long river is the throat, and the green mountains are the evidence; how can it be called nameless? Rivers and mountains are names!"

Zhao Huan had already walked into the corridor of Jiying Tower, he was a little lucky that he didn't lose his composure in the hall.

"Official, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ying asked in a low voice behind Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just sand in my eyes."

Of course Zhao Huan remembered this passage, it was the "Loyal Soul Inscription" he had written by himself when he was in Datong Mansion, when he set up the Yongyi Tomb.

And these two paragraphs, when Zhao Huan wrote them, he was writing about these unknown heroes!
For these unknown scouts who couldn't even publicly publicize their merits, they made contributions to Antai of the Great Song Dynasty.

"People have forgotten something, but history has been neglected. The world can be expected, the nation will prosper, and the Jiashi of Suzhi will be inscribed on the hand. Hey, my descendants, generation after generation!" Zhao Huan muttered to himself and walked forward. .

What kept flashing before his eyes were: the soldiers and civilians guarding Chenliu's gate, Yue Fei and the marital officer who went forward indomitably, the unrestrained skeletons on the road to Hedong, the dilapidated city of Taiyuan, Wang Zhi's wounds, Pairs of eyes longing for revenge are the old faces of Zhong Shidao buried on Gouzhu Mountain.

It was the Jiesheng soldier who ran thousands of miles to attack Huanglong Mansion, and half of his feet were frozen off, it was Huang Yanjie who supported Yulong in Xingqing Mansion, and it was Wei Chengen who was far away in Korea...

When these scenes appeared in front of his eyes, Zhao Huan's footsteps were a little staggered, and at the same time he was very convinced that Daidai Yongjing would definitely come true!

Behind all these scenes is the person who goes on and on, and he is the backbone.

Even Shenzhou Lu Chen!Even when there is a trough in China!It will also support a blue sky for China because of these famous or unknown people!
Then the most brilliant light that belongs to him and only him blooms!
From generation to generation Yongjing!

Zhao Huan walked forward, and a close official ran up to Zhao Huan in a hurry.

"Great victory! Great victory in Baozhou! Commander Shen and Captain Yang led the troops and defeated Wanyan Zongbi head-on. Wanyan Zongbi was defeated and fled Baozhou! Go to Benxi!"

"Lieutenant Chen leads the generals, and they are chasing after them!"
