Chapter 1349 Wu Mei’s Change of View

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng's expression and said, "If you were more motivated, your portrait would have been hanging in Lingyan Pavilion for a long time."

After eating a bite of mutton happily, Li Zheng turned a deaf ear to Li Tai's words.

This is Li Zheng's virtue.

Chu Suiliang and Li Tai are both used to it.

For others, fame and fortune are all the best.

Li Zhengzhe can hide if he can, and he can act like a scoundrel if he can. Anyway, he doesn't want high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

After ate another bite of green vegetables, Li Zheng stood up and said, "You eat first, I'll go to the horse circle to have a look."

Li Tai nodded while eating the hot mutton.

The New Year is coming soon, and the village is preparing for the New Year, and the whole village is much more energetic.

Li Lizhi even made a big stroke and all workshops were resting.

Li Zheng came to the horse circle, where Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion were both here.

Seeing Li Zheng coming, Xu Jingzong walked up and said, "The Chang'an Order, there is news from Tubo that is said that Tang Xuanzang is lobbying, and there are more Buddhists in their area around the Indian region."

The message was sent silently.

Now there is no problem for the forces who are silently venting their lives to keep an eye on the movements in Tubo.

Xu Jingzong said again: "But the king of Dashi did not believe in the Buddhist style, and drove out all the Buddhist children sent by Tang Xuanzang."

Li Yifu also said: "Although the Buddhist power in the Central Plains is not as large as before, there are still some larger temples that live very low-key, but the power is still there."

They are just paper tigers, and this kind of power can be broken with one pierced.

Li Zheng said, "How is the East China Sea?"

Li Yifu took out a file and said, "Yan Lide and Duan Lun gathered more than 1,000 manpower in the East China Sea, and there are already fifteen new sea ships to go out to sea. However, they are still very curious about the strange space behind the sea ship. Yan Lide has sent letters to ask more than once."

The sea ships built by Yan Lide are not ordinary sea ships.

Instead, a sea ship needs to be installed to drive a boiler.

Li Yifu said: "I don't understand the craftsman's affairs, so I can only come and ask the Chang'an Order."

After putting down these files, Li Zheng said: "The boiler will be transported to the East China Sea at that time, which will be of great use."

Li Yifu nodded and said, "I know how to reply."

It will take some time for the three brothers of the Tie family to build a boiler. Although they have found many blacksmiths in Chang'an to work separately, the progress is still a bit slow. Until now, the first boiler that is in place is still cast.

The first one alone took two months to build, and it was still the result of several rework modifications.

Not so fast now

This is the situation.

The torrent of steel is not that simple.

Li Zheng said to Xu Jingzong: "How is Japan's satisfaction?"

Xu Jingzong whispered: "The news sent a few days ago says it is ready to start another war."

There are still tens of thousands of stones left in the warehouse in the village to make grain.

Only when these grains are kept, they will only have moldy parts.

Li Zheng said: "Tell Chengxin that the war can start."

"Here!"

As he was talking, Du Ruhui came with 40,000 guan.

Li Shimin now has a lot of cash in his hands.

The Tang Dynasty had sufficient silver reserves.

Li Shimin naturally dared to let go of his hands and spend money.

Du Ruhui took the people and carried boxes of money and said, "Your Majesty has allowed the Jingyang Engineering Team to build Shanhaiguan fortifications. According to what you said, this is 40,000 guan. The next 40,000 guan will be given to you after the 40,000 guan fortifications are completed."

People feel refreshed when they are happy.

Especially when you receive money.

Li Zheng felt that the world was beautiful again.

Du Ruhui looked at Xu Jingzong and Li Yi Mansion again, and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb you much."

Li Zheng said: "The New Year is coming soon. I wish Du a happy New Year."

Du Ruhui said, "You can also take a look."

After putting down the cash box, Du Ruhui left.

After the people left, Li Zheng said to Li Yifu, "This is the first business in the court, and there will be more in the future."

Li Yifu smiled and said, "I understand, business in the court is the big project."

Except for building large projects themselves, most of them are in the court.

There is more than just one fortification in the court, Shanhaiguan.

The big tiger released the horse's circle and cleaned the horse's circle here.

Since getting married, it is getting late and late for the big tiger to clean the horse's ring.

But it's nothing, there's nothing wrong with the horse circle.

All workshops in the village were suspended.

After sorting out this year's account book, Wu Mei had nothing to do. She looked at the children in the village and whispered to Li Lizhi: "I heard that Chang'an orders to rebuild the printing workshop?"

Li Lizhi nodded and whispered, "It's true. Li Yifu has arranged for people to start construction. Before starting construction next year, the printing workshop will be rebuilt."

Wu Mei, who has been helping Li Lizhi sort out the account books, is very familiar with the current operation of the village.

It is already the limit to printing nine thousand books a day in the printing workshop.

This is the result of the printing workshop after several improvements.

The improvement of the printing workshop now should be to expand the production capacity of the printing workshop.

Wu Mei looked at Li Lizhi and said, "Your Highness, what else can you do to increase the production capacity of the printing workshop?"

Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Knowledge."

Wu Mei said in confusion: "Knowledge?"

Li Lizhi picked a few tomatoes from the field and said, "In Li Zheng's words, it is to use knowledge to change the status quo. If movable type printing is a step to increase production capacity, then the assembly line is the second step. Then the next time it is changed to the printing workshop, it is the third step to increase production."

"These are all used to change the status quo. When people are still fighting hard on wood, sticks, stones, and some people learn to use iron tools. This is a scene where knowledge changes the present."

Wu Mei couldn't help but fall into deep thought when she listened to Li Lizhi's words.

Li Lizhi said: "If a printing workshop's output has not been increased, what would you do?"

Wu Mei said, "Increase manpower and increase working time."

Li Lizhi said: "In this way, your production capacity will increase, but the cost will increase at the same time."

Wu Mei frowned and said, "What should I do?"

Li Lizhi said: "By transforming technology through knowledge and using technology to increase output, this is the highest efficiency."

Wu Mei nodded thoughtfully.

Looking at Wu Mei's expression, Li Lizhi felt that she was different from before.

It seems that Wu Mei has changed a lot now.

If Wu Mei said she wanted to reduce her wages, Li Lizhi would still feel that Wu Mei would need some time to teach her.

However, Wu Mei's thinking has not changed at the moment.

She hasn't jumped out of her previous inherent thinking.
