Li Er wanted it very much, but he just didn't say it.
As an emperor, if you like something you want, you can't just ask for it. You have to let your ministers take the initiative to deliver it.
Of course, this does not need to be done by Li Yunze.
Half reluctant, Li Er hurriedly sent someone to the palace to get his golden helmet.
This set of armor is very eye-catching, and the golden light makes it look dazzling.
Of course, this thing is for ceremonial purposes. If you really wear this outfit on the battlefield, it will be a magnet for arrows.
Li Er put on a majestic posture and stood in front of a large piece of green cloth with a slight doubt, "Why use this cloth?"
"To facilitate post-processing, it's a P picture." Li Yunze, holding the camera, took a pose. "Don't think so much, just maintain a majestic posture."
Having said this, he paused and said, "Your Majesty, where are you going to use it? In the Daming Palace or in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"
"Tai" Li Er's mouth twitched, forcing himself to suppress his anger.
‘This bastard actually dares to curse me and hang me in the Ancestral Temple’
"Let's hang up in the bedroom." Li Er thought for a while and said.
After hearing this, Li Yunze put down the camera in his hand: "Your Majesty, if you want to hang it in the palace, it is best to take photos of daily life, focusing on a harmonious and warm family atmosphere. Your military uniform photos are usually hung either in the main hall or in the ancestral temple."
"You're talking about the Imperial Ancestral Temple!" Li Er twitched his eyelids and took a deep breath, "Let's paint it first. This armor is very heavy and it will be uncomfortable to wear it for several hours."
In this day and age, there is no such thing as a camera. If you want to draw portraits, you have to hire a professional painter.
As a model, it is common for me to not move for several hours.
Li Er took the posture and was about to kill time with his head empty, but he only heard a 'click' sound, and then Li Yunze over there lowered his head and looked at the box, "Okay, take it off."
Li Er, who had never had such an experience, was stunned on the spot, "What do you mean?"
"Take off your armor." Li Yunze simply walked over and showed the camera in his hand to Li Er, "Let's see what the effect is."
Looking at his extremely shrunken figure on the camera screen, Li Er's clenched fists trembled slightly.
In other words, I have been mentally prepared for Li Yunze's magic over the years, so the scream in my heart has been firmly suppressed.
Otherwise, Li Er would have to shout, 'Monster! How dare you capture my soul!'
"What is this?"
"Don't even think about cameras. If Datang can't do it, there's no need to promote it."
Li Yunze raised the camera in his hand and said, "It's okay to use it on a small scale, but if you want to industrialize it on a large scale, there's nothing you can't do."
Crude things, such as railways, seem long and majestic, but in fact they have no technical content at all.
After decades of hard work, the Tang Dynasty was finally able to initially digest it and be able to build early railways.
The camera may look small, but the smaller it is, the higher its technology integration is.
Not to mention precision electronics, Datang cannot even refine silicon. Even precision grinding of lenses cannot be done here in Datang.
Li Yunze will not provide things that cannot be achieved within decades or even hundreds of years, or that cannot even be achieved with early technology.
Li Er was thoughtful, but quickly calmed down and said, "This painting is so small, it is very different from Li Ji's painting."
"Small? It doesn't matter if it's small, as long as it can become bigger."
Li Yunze said with a smile, "Don't look down on the small ones, otherwise you won't be able to bear it when you get older."
Just a few days later, a carriage carrying Nuo Da's framed photo arrived in front of the palace gate.
When the palace guards were inspecting it, they untied the silk cloth and saw Li Er on it. Everyone was frightened and took a breath, and some even saluted directly.
Without him, they are so similar, they are exactly the same.
It was as if their Majesty was lying on the carriage.
This incident caused a huge sensation. After the news came out, many noble people looked around to find out which master with such wonderful brushwork could draw such a lifelike image.
Then Li Ji jumped out and proudly invited the nobles to come to his home to see his full-body uniform photo.
While everyone was amazed, they naturally knew that it was Li Yunze's handiwork.
After that, everyone came in droves to get such a picture for themselves and leave it to future generations to admire.
The painting techniques of this era pursued the idea rather than the form, and naturally the paintings were not painted to the level of lifelikeness.
Because of this, Lijiazhuang was suddenly busy with traffic, and there was an endless stream of people asking for paintings.
Li Yunze did not refuse, and did not even accept the money.
But the only requirement was that he had to take some photos wearing woolen military uniforms.
Because the price is quite expensive, the sales situation of woolen fabrics is not as optimistic as expected.
While thinking of ways to reduce costs, Li Yunze also started advertising, and these honorable men became the best advertising models.
After all, only by stimulating the demand for wool can we better promote the scale of sheep cannibalism on the prairie.
As a photo of Zhang Xungui wearing crisp woolen clothes was circulated, at least the related trend in Chang'an City was gradually stimulated.
When you have enough to eat, pursuing a better quality of life is an eternal choice.
This is also the reason why all the dynasties have tried to control the people to be half hungry and half full. When they don’t have enough to eat, they will only think about how to eat enough instead of thinking wildly.
After all, if everyone wants to live a good life, the interests of the upper class will be affected.
Because this incident was the hardest hit, it was the local painters of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was tolerant and open, and it pursued new things instead of banning them. Therefore, when everyone liked to take pictures, the original hand-painted paintings naturally gradually lost their market.
A profession like a painter must rely on customers to support itself.
Since the guests stopped coming, the painter naturally had no food to eat.
Just like Yan Liben, although he reached the position of being a young eunuch at a young age, his main job is still to paint for the emperor.
But now the emperor takes pictures everywhere with his camera all day long, and there is no need for him to paint at all. Yan Liben is immediately in danger of losing his job.
Everyone in the workplace knows that unemployment is a terrible thing, which means that there is no source of livelihood.
In order to avoid losing their jobs, male employees are groveling and female employees are sacrificing themselves. Ahem.
Yan Liben, feeling the unemployment crisis, took the initiative to find Li Yunze to seek new painting techniques.
"It's not impossible to teach you." Looking at the former painting master of Wu Daozi in front of him, Li Yunze stated his position simply and neatly, "But you should also understand that you can't teach this kind of skill in vain, right?"
Of course Yan Liben understood. If you want to learn how others eat, how can it be possible without dedication?
"Yan is willing to become his master." Yan Liben, with a solemn look on his face, immediately bowed and said, "I will never forget the ceremony of becoming my master."
In ancient times, it was said that the king of heaven and earth is the master, and the relationship between teachers and students is very close.
But the root cause is that masters and students can indeed help each other and provide benefits, which can make everyone live a better life.
Just like in the court, the teacher has a large group of students who can wave the flag and shout, and the weight of their words will naturally be full. Correspondingly, the teacher promotes students and gives them more opportunities, and naturally everyone is satisfied.
It's not like those so-called teachers in some time and space who only want cattle, horses and free labor. They shout at the students to respect their teachers, but they do disgusting things that are worse than animals.
Yan Liben wanted to become a disciple, so he was naturally aware of it.
He didn't know what a camera was, so he naturally mistook those lifelike photos as being drawn by Li Yunze.
Marveling at such ingenious painting skills, he naturally had no objection at all to becoming a disciple.
However, Li Yunze flatly refused, "I can't accept you as my disciple, but I can teach you a set of corresponding skills."
Yan Liben looked puzzled, "You don't accept disciples, but you are willing to teach your skills. Could you be a fool?"
Of course Li Yunze is not a fool. He naturally has what he wants. "In return, you can just draw me some paintings."
What kind of reward is this? For Yan Liben, drawing is as easy and simple as breathing. He has drawn hundreds of pictures of all kinds.
Hearing this, he was even a little ashamed, feeling that he had taken advantage of him.
Li Yunze smiled and called out the names: "Pictures of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Mansion", "Pictures of Wei Zheng's Remonstrance", "Scrolls of Calligraphy and Paintings of the Northern Qi School", "Pictures of Fighting for Treasures in Foreign Countries", "Pictures of Tribute", "Pictures of the Western Regions", "Pictures of Mingling Portraits", "Foreign Countries".
picture"……"
After talking about dozens of paintings in one breath, he took a breath and said to the dumbfounded Yan Liben, "Come on, create these paintings and send them over, and I will teach you a brand new painting technique."
As a painting saint before Wu Daozi, Yan Liben has many works.
Except for those that haven't had time to appear, such as "The Walking Chariot Picture", Li Yunze plans to ask him to make a set for himself.
There is no doubt that it was made by Yan Liben himself. Who dares to say that it is not authentic?
As for "The Picture of the Walking Chariot", Li Yunze would never let Li Er make a sand sculpture anyway, and took the initiative to help Tibet to upgrade its technology.
The technology and craftsmen Li Er provided to Tubo were no less significant than providing a full set of industrial technology upgrades in the industrial era, turning an agricultural country into a primary industrial country in an instant.
When he thought of this, Li Yunze's liver trembled with anger.
A sand sculpture, a sand sculpture without a doubt!
Seeing that the pursuit of new-style paintings in Chang'an City was becoming more and more intense, many of the previous patrons had switched to the embrace of new-style paintings. Yan Liben, who was anxious, began to retreat after returning home and began to create seriously.
This creation lasted until the eighth year of Zhenguan.
When Yan Liben came to Lijiazhuang with dozens of paintings that he had worked hard to create, Li Yunze was busy with the opening of the railway line from Chang'an to Luoyang.
After carefully reviewing the many paintings brought by Yan Liben, Li Yunze expressed that he was very satisfied with them. They were completely in line with his wishes, except that the paintings were all brand new.
A few days later, when Yan Liben came to Lijiazhuang again, he met several famous painters in Chang'an City.
While everyone was confused, Li Yunze came to everyone with charcoal pencils and drawing board.
"Everyone." Li Yunze showed the charcoal pen in his hand, "Today I am going to teach you a brand new painting technique."
