Chapter 105 Wu Guogong?

Li Fei felt that having his godmother Yang Guifei was the most backer, and he had to make Emperor Xuanzong of Tang believe that he valued him. While pleased his godmother Yang Guifei, he also wanted to please Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. After all, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was the biggest existence in the world.

A winter has passed. When he handed over the movable type printing technique to Xiao Ruoshui, he thought about giving it to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in three months. Now it is time.

Before presenting the movable type printing technique, Li Fei notified Xiao Ruoshui and Cao Xiaozhong in advance, so that they could also prepare.

Royal Palace.

In the past few days, the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Works have built a bathroom next to the Daming Palace with cement, ceramic tiles, squat pits, etc.

It has to be said that the Ministry of Works is very efficient, especially when it comes to the construction of the palace, which is even more efficient.

In just two days, the bathroom was built and even the sewage pipes were buried. After the trial, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang expressed his satisfaction and made an intention to build one for each palace.

When Li Fei entered the palace, the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Works were building bathrooms in the palace one by one, digging soil to place sewage pipes. As for where the sewage was discharged, these were not something Li Fei was concerned about. Anyway, the special squat pits, ceramic tiles, porcelain toilets, etc. had been prepared and delivered, and the rest was not his business.

"Can movable type printing really reduce the cost of books several times?" asked Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have already tried it. Not only can the cost be reduced, but the printing speed is also faster and the quality is better. It can make the Tang Dynasty more ordinary people able to read books, ensure that the Tang Dynasty talents are endless, and Your Majesty will always maintain prosperity." Li Fei said something against his will, and that all the country will always maintain prosperity is a lie. He knew very well how many years the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty would be, but there was no way. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang liked his words.

"Li Fei, you really surprised me. First, it was cement, but now it was movable type printing technology to make more people able to read. This is really a great achievement." Emperor Xuanzong of Tang laughed happily.

"Okay! OK! I will definitely have a great reward!"

Although Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was confident that the Tang Dynasty had already reached its peak under his rule, if more people could afford to read books and recognize words, wouldn’t it be more representative of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and that scholars all over the world would praise him?

The emperor also has to do things to please scholars all over the world!

"Thank you Your Majesty." Li Fei, who was rewarding but not rewarding, didn't care much. The important thing was that if he coaxed Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, his status would be more stable, and no one could move him.

The next day, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang commended Li Fei's achievements in the court on the spot and handed over the technology of movable type printing to the Ministry of Works, asking the Ministry of Works to publish this technology to various prefectures and counties, and print it in large quantities, reducing the price of books in the world and making more people afford to read.

Li Fei's achievements not only pleased Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, but also pleased scholars all over the world.

Although those who can read and learn calligraphy have some financial resources, a book cost 200 to 300 cents is still too expensive. Some petty-bourgeois families lost all their property and became poor just to support their children's studies.

As the saying goes, ten years of hard study, the investment is huge.

After reading, you can get a good fortune. Even if you go to the battlefield to be a general, you still need to be a good general. It can be said that Li Fei can reduce the cost of books in the world several times, which is a greater contribution to most people than cement.

"Your Majesty, Yuhang County has publicly developed movable type printing technology to the court. It is a great contribution to the court and the people, and it should be rewarded!" The court officials who were from Jinshi immediately came out to speak for Li Fei and commended Li Fei's achievements.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang nodded. In his eyes, he transformed the new "thicken cottage". Now he has offered movable type printing technology, which is another great contribution, and he should indeed be rewarded.

Rewards are nothing more than gold and silver, promotion and title.

When he thought of promoting Li Fei to a higher title, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang hesitated for a moment. He must have rewarded some gold and silver, but it is impossible to only reward gold and silver. Should he be promoted or awarded a title? Just promotion, Li Fei is already a member of the Ministry of Justice, and he is less than seventeen years old. He is too young and has a lack of ability. But he should be awarded a title, Li Fei is already a Duke of Yuhang County. If he adds a title, he will be a Duke of the State.

How long has Li Fei been to Chang'an City? He has been granted a marquis in less than a year and has been promoted from a marquis to a county duke. If he is added to the Duke of the State, will he be promoted too fast?

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was the former saint. Although hesitated, he made a decision quickly.

It’s better to be given a title. Even if it’s a duke, it’s just a false name. As Yuhuan’s adopted son, Li Fei is also his adopted son, and he still deserves the title of duke.

"Li Fei presented movable type printing technology, and in addition to the rectification of the palace, he should be rewarded, so he was granted the title of Duke of Wu and rewarded another daughter--"

"Your Majesty, Yuhang County Duke is still young and has been in the capital for less than a year. He has successively been granted the title of Marquis and was promoted from Marquis to County Duke. Now he is promoted to Duke of the State. In such a short time, I am afraid that the people will criticize him. Think twice, Your Majesty!" Wang Hui jumped out.

When Wang Hui heard that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang wanted to add Li Fei to the title of Duke, he was immediately shocked and could not stand. Li Fei was so arrogant that he would be so arrogant as to become Duke. Besides, he had a grudge against Li Fei, so how could he be willing to watch Li Fei easily be granted the title of Duke?

In addition to having hatred and hating Li Fei, there is also jealousy!

I think Wang Hui has worked hard for so many years, and now he is the Minister of Revenue and his title is just an optional viscount. Why is Li Fei so easy to become Duke?

Prime Minister Li Linfu held back his eyes on Wang Hui who stood up. In fact, Li Linfu didn't want Li Fei to be promoted to the title of Duke so soon. Li Fei was too young and promoted too fast, which was a bit ridiculous.

However, Li Linfu would not stand up and object, because behind Li Fei, there was Yang Guifei standing. Although Li Linfu was the prime minister, he would never offend Yang Guifei openly.

Except for Wang Hui and Li Linfu who did not want Li Fei to be granted the title of Duke, Yang Guozhong even more wanted.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong's face was darker than Wang Hui, and he felt a sense of anger in his heart.

Li Fei was just a wild boy who brought him to Chang'an City. He didn't know what method he used to please his sister Yang Guifei, and accepted his adopted son, making him easily become a marquis, and later became a county duke equal to him. If he was given the title of Duke of Wu, wouldn't he stand on his head!

Yang Guozhong could not imagine that Li Fei was already standing behind him in the court. If he had the title of Duke, wouldn't he have stood in front of him all at once? That kind of scene would be too terrible!

Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up and oppose it strongly, but he and Wang Hui have been fighting harder recently. He is trying every means to overthrow Wang Hui. After all, Li Fei is his "nephew" in name. If he stands up and opposes, he will not only be unable to get through on the surface, but will also seriously offend Li Fei, and even make his sister Yang Guifei dissatisfied, and it will be even more dissatisfied. At such a critical moment, doing so is very unfavorable to him, so you have to endure it.

Yang Guozhong endured it and did not stand out in the end.
