Chapter 268 Good, very good
Just as Yan Yuzhang and Xu Jifeng were about to go to Xihecheng, Yang Yichuan sent back something to Kyoto.
These things were quickly delivered to the person who should be given the gift. For example, the things that were to be handed over to the emperor were also sent to the palace. After layers of progress, they were delivered to Yang Tianci.
The letter given to Xu Jifeng and Yan Yuzhang was also delivered to them. In fact, the letter was not entirely written by Yang Yichuan, and Yang Ruxu also had some content. Of course, there was also a letter sent by Xiao Muxue to Xiao’s house, which was also sent back.
Neither of these two people would expect that before they were about to leave the capital and go to Xihecheng, they would still receive a letter from Yang Yichuan from Xihecheng.
Both of them saw the letter, and mentioned a lot of new tricks, which naturally made them yearn for them very much.
The real important content is what was delivered to Yang Tianci of the palace.
When Yang Tianci learned that there were things that Yang Yichuan sent back and Yang Yichuan's letter, he even put down what he had at hand and immediately wanted to read Yang Yichuan's letter.
Looking at Yang Yichuan's letter, Yang Tianci's first point of attention was paper. To the touch of such paper, it seemed much better than usual.
"This paper is really good. Why have I never seen such paper before? Even if it is royal paper, it is probably not so good, right?" Yang Tianci made a rough judgment after a little look and contact. At the same time, Yang Tianci had an idea in his mind. Perhaps he had never seen such paper before, but he had not. Now it seems that these papers are very likely made by Yang Yichuan.
I temporarily put down the letter paper and started to read the contents of the letter.
There was nothing much to say among them. Yang Yichuan talked about the current development of Xihecheng. Of course, there are two more important things, that is, compulsory education and paper money.
Yang Yichuan first talked about the reform of papermaking and printing technology. The paper produced now has very good quality and the manufacturing price is much lower. In this way, the price reduction of paper is a good thing for the people of the world.
In addition, there is a new printing technique. The new printing technique can make printing books very convenient. Yang Yichuan also brought back a few newly printed books. These books are the books of "Stories from a Chinese Studio" and several other stories, using the latest printing techniques and papermaking techniques.
Yang Tianci looked at the books he brought with him for a little while, and it was indeed much better than the original books. According to Yang Yichuan, printing was cheaper and printing was faster and more convenient. Yang Tianci was overjoyed.
"Okay, very good. In this way, problems such as books and paper are not a problem. It is indeed a major problem in compulsory education. It seems that it is not a bad idea to implement compulsory education nationwide next year. It just so happened that in the past six months, let's see how the compulsory education in Xihecheng is like? After Yichuan comes back, you can ask carefully."
Yang Tianci continued to look and saw what Yang Yichuan said about paper money.
Yang Tianci continued to read and said a lot about the content of the banknotes in the letter. Yang Tianci also knew that people across the country were used to using gold, silver and copper coins. If they had to switch to banknotes, there would probably be a big problem.
However, when Yang Tianci heard Yang Yichuan say that at the beginning, he was just trying to implement it in Xihe City. It would be better to promote it nationwide next year or the year after next.
Yang Tianci looked at Yang Yichuan's letter and became more and more familiar with what Yang Yichuan did in Xihecheng. Fortunately, it was Yang Yichuan who was in Xihecheng, and Li Ru was in charge of Xihecheng and helped Yang Yichuan.
Otherwise, with Yang Yichuan doing these things, Xihecheng would probably be in trouble. And it is estimated that officials of all sizes in Xihecheng would jointly write a letter saying that Yang Yichuan is not the case.
Of course, this letter only said some of these contents in a relatively rough manner. After all, it cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. Then it talked about some family matters. Yang Yichuan, Yang Ruxu, and Xiao Muxue lived well in Xihecheng. Don’t worry, I miss my family very much.
"Haha, Yichuan's child has grown up, and he has really grown up." Yang Tianci was very pleased after seeing Yang Yichuan's letter.
"Well, continue to look at the books sent by Yichuan. This book is the details of Xihecheng's current matters."
In this book, Yang Tianci saw an introduction to the library. The bookshelf and tables and chairs inside were also allowed to read for free in the book. Of course, the classification of books was then placed on different bookshelfs.
This is the library, and of course there are also ideas for bicycles and subsequent psychic electric vehicles. I drew a sketch with a more detailed introduction. Yang Tianci was amazed. It turned out that there are such cars in this world that can be ridden by themselves. Of course, there are also tricycles derived from bicycles, and so on. The more Yang Tianci looked, the more he wanted to see these things with his own eyes as soon as possible.
Yang Tianci finally finished reading this book about Xihecheng’s current affairs and found that a while has passed, and the government affairs that should have been dealt with have been put on hold.
"Time flies so fast. There are two more books. These two books should be the story novels Ichichuan told. Let's read it if you have time. Now I will do it in advance before talking."
Yang Tianci first put the book aside, and the government affairs were handled much faster.
Soon, it was time for lunch. Yang Tianci had lunch and was preparing for lunch break, and remembered the books Yang Yichuan sent.
I picked up one of the books "Story of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and read it. The stories in them are not long, but they all look pretty good. One story after another, although they are written about humans, ghosts, demons, etc., which are somewhat fantastic, but the content of the story is a good story, and it is always thought-provoking.
"Yeah, not bad, next story."
Yang Tianci looked one by one, and before he knew it, he had almost passed the originally scheduled lunch break. The eunuch next to him came over to remind Yang Tianci when he was about to get up, and found that Yang Tianci was still reading a book.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
"Well, should I get up? Time flies so fast, for sure, it's okay in the afternoon anyway, so I'll finish reading this book before talking about it."
Yang Tianci also planned to spend his leisure time. This book is indeed much more interesting, compared to some dull literary books.
"Yes, Yichuan has done a lot of things, and this book is also a good book. By the way, Lao Wang, I heard that Yichuan sent a clock over, where is the clock?"
"Back to Your Majesty, what is this clock? It's just that the things that you gave to Your Majesty, and all the other things were sent to the Empress."
"I think so. Whenever there is any good thing in Yichuan, I will give it to his mother first. I will go to Shufei Palace to see what the clock is like."
