    Mr. Li had to admit that, as Shi Jijiu said, the act of building reputation did pose a moral hijack to him. If he had not forgotten to build a reputation as a romantic talent at the same time, I am afraid that he would still suffer the consequences of marrying six or seven wives and concubines now.  To others to point fingers.

    As for the true and false claims of Qingtian put forward by Shi Jijiu, he was not in the mood to argue, which was meaningless for the current situation.  He just asked casually: "Although I have been to the Imperial College several times two years ago, I have only been superficial and superficial. What is the current situation of the Imperial College students?"

    Shi Jijiu sighed and said: "People's hearts are not as old as they used to be! People's minds are not as old as they used to be! People's minds are getting restless and they are restless in learning. They will make noise and cause trouble at the slightest sign of trouble. The discipline is so weak, it is time to rectify the atmosphere and strictly discipline them."

    "How can people's hearts not be ancient? People's hearts have never been ancient, and using the past to make things different from the present is an incompetent excuse!" Li Youyi retorted sternly.

    Before Shijiujiu could say anything, Li You continued: "In the early years of the Republic of China, the prison students were willing to study diligently. Is this the result of harsh punishments and laws? Because at that time, both the imperial examination and the prison students had equal emphasis, and those who were born in prison had a bright future!

    Nowadays, the imperial examination is the dominant one, Jinshi is the most valuable person, and it is not easy for a supervisor to select an official. Even if he is selected, he will be inferior to the subordinates!  The future is like this and the way out is slim. Who is willing to work hard to get ahead? If learning is useless, it is human nature to be lazy and reprimanding is useless!  "

    Shi Jijiu also said: "This is wrong. I think"

    Li You waved his hand and interrupted the stone sacrificial wine: "Don't say more. I am not here to debate with you today. Dayu controlled the floods, and it was better to block them than to remove them. You should think more about what else you can ask them to do to induce them.  . Supplemented by strict laws, it will stop naturally! I don¡¯t need your guidance on what I should do.¡±

    Although Mr. Li is a bit too imposing, it is not too much to match his status as a fifth-grade magistrate and an inspector on behalf of the imperial court.  It is common for foreign censors to act like they are a senior official.

    Shi Jijiu didn't care about Li You's attitude, and asked quickly with great expectations: "What are Mr. Li's plans?"

    Li Youli said confidently: "I'm new here. How do you know? Without investigation, you don't have the right to speak. Let's see it first before talking!"

    The stone sacrificial wine was speechless, as many great truths were said before.  The last thing I want to say is that I don¡¯t know if Li You has also fallen into the habit of talking too much.  He tentatively said, "Since Mr. Li has arrived, I will gather the supervisors together. Please give Mr. Li a lecture."

    Li You refused and said, "No need! You can find someone else to lead me on a tour of the prison first, and then talk about other things."

    This made Shi Jijiu slightly relieved. At least it showed that although Li You was as bold as ever, he was still cautious in his actions and would not act blindly.  He sent someone to call Si Ye and ordered him to take Li You to inspect the prison.

    The Imperial College covers a vast area, and Yilun Hall is only a small part. Li You, under the leadership of the current Siye Sun, simply turned around.

    There are east lecture hall, west lecture hall and east and west wing rooms on both sides of Yilun Hall.  There is also a back hall and a pharmacy at the back.  On both sides of the corridor from Taixue Gate in front to Yilun Hall, there are rows of buildings facing each other from east to west.  To the east are the Shengxing Hall, Suxing Hall, Chengxin Hall, and Chongzhi Hall, and to the west are the Doctor's Hall, the Monastery Hall, the Zhengyi Hall, and the Guangye Hall.

    The Shengxun Hall and the Doctoral Hall are where the academic officers are located, with three rooms each; the remaining six halls are academic buildings, with eleven rooms each.  The middle room is the teacher's seat, and the ten rooms on both sides are where the supervisors study.  Li You looked through the window. There were two or three large square tables in each room, surrounded by a number of long benches, and there were probably dozens of supervisors sitting there.

    The last Li Siye of the Imperial College was killed by Li You the year before last, and the current Sun Siye took over after that.  Therefore, he is very familiar with Master Li's great achievements.  He is very cautious, lest he make any mistakes and get into trouble.

    Seeing Li You looking at the prison students through the window, he took the initiative to introduce: "The six halls in the prison are divided into three levels. The three halls of Zhengyi, Chongzhi, and Guangye are elementary, the two halls of Xiudao and Chengxin are intermediate, and the hall of Suixing is advanced.  Only when you have eight points at the department level can you enter the intermediate level, and only after you have eight points at the intermediate level can you enter the advanced level. According to the ancestral laws, there are a total of thirty-two classes and about 3,000 students in the prison.  .¡±

    "Are these just those in prison? How many are not in prison?"

    Sun Siye also introduced: "There are about a thousand people who have graduated from Suixingtang and worked in various yamen."

    Li You knew it, and there was a ready-made example around him. Cui Zhenfei, Mr. Cui, and Master Cui had a hard-working background as a supervisor and could not get a good official position.

    This large area is considered a teaching area, and there is Guangju Gate in the northeast corner of the teaching area.  Going out from Guangju Gate is the dormitory room where the supervisors live. There are more than 2,000 rooms in total, and there is one room for every two supervisors.

    Room No. 1 was deserted at this time, not very attractive, and going out from another Chucai Gate was the Earth Temple with its books, classics, dining hall and warehouse.

      Among them, the Classics Hall occupies a large area. In addition to the five main halls, there are also several east and west wing rooms and several back halls, forming two large courtyards.  This attracted Li You's attention. As the name suggests, the Classics Hall is where books are in charge. Is this the Imperial College Library?  The profession of librarians produces talents.

    Dian Ji is a ninth-rank official. When he saw someone on patrol, he hurriedly welcomed him out of the Dian Ji Hall.  Li You nodded and walked towards the inner side.

    Mr. Li did not enter the main hall. He looked around in the courtyard and saw several craftsmen covered in ink squatting and washing their hands in a wooden basin at the mouth of the well in the corner.  Li You asked: "There are craftsmen in your hall?"

    The classics surnamed Zou replied: "Our office is responsible for printing books, handouts, test papers, and paper. The volume is huge, so naturally we have craftsmen."

    It turned out that it was not a library but a printing factory. Li You was a little disappointed and was about to leave.  Then I heard Zou Dianji arrogantly boasting: "I am not boasting, but there are dozens of skilled craftsmen here in my office. They can print books quickly and well. They are ranked among the best in the world. Even the Great Inner Seal  When making books, I often turn to my place for printing."

    At exactly this time, an old craftsman came out of the side room carrying a dial, which made Li You's eyes light up.  It's not like he has never dealt with bookshops. In his impression, most bookshops still use engraving to print books, with one page per page.  Some famous people in the south of the Yangtze River specially collected these book plates as elegant ones, and there were even hundreds of thousands of them.

    But the old craftsman in front of him is holding a type plate, and the type plate is used to inlay movable type, which means that he may have adopted the movable type printing technology learned in middle school history textbooks.

    Mr. Li pointed to the dial with interest and asked, "Do you use movable type here?"

    What is good for the superiors must be good for the subordinates. Before Zhong Dianji could say anything, Sun Siye, who had accompanied Li You throughout his inspection, spoke first, "Yes, the books and manuscripts printed by our Imperial College are all made of movable type. Today they are handed over to Li You."  The manuscript can be printed out the next day and everyone will have a copy. If the superiors have something to do, they will definitely not disappoint."

    Sun Siye is good at observing words and expressions. He saw that the young superior always had a solemn expression during the inspection, which made people worried. Only when he arrived here, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, obviously he had some good ideas.  If we don¡¯t show active performance now, when will we wait?

    Zou Dianji added in terms of technology: "At that time, Emperor Gaozong attached great importance to printing books with movable type. He issued an edict to distribute 200,000 pieces of silver from the palace treasury and gave 200,000 copper movable types to the Imperial College. This is unique in the world and has been used to this day.  There¡¯s nothing like it anywhere else.¡±

    "Very good! Wonderful!" Li You applauded.  With such convenient printing conditions and such rich resources of scholars, what else can they do besides running newspapers to consume their excess energy?

    Thinking about this, Li You was in a good mood and chuckled proudly when he saw that the errand had reached a breakthrough.  The big guys in the court thought he was restless and gave him a job. Then let them, old antiques, take a look at the experience of the time traveler!
