Called the foreman Zhang Qi and transferred the craftsman team over.

Looking at a drawing, Zhang Qi, who has years of experience in craftsmanship, saw the purpose at a glance. He asked in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis, is this used for printing?"

"This is called movable type printing." Li Zheng said.

Zhang Qi looked at the drawings for a long time, "It's indeed a good thing."

Can movable type printing be a good thing? This thing is flexible and effortless to use, and the font mold can be taken down at any time to replace and reuse it, which is much easier to use than those bulky engraving boards.

Zhang Qi looked at the big bull's slightly clumsy printing book and said, "Mr. Marquis, why don't you use dyeing cloth?"

"Dye cloth?" Li Zheng thought in his heart.

Zhang Qi said again: "But it is really troublesome and it will take some time. The Marquis must have thought it thoroughly, but print the book first to see the results."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to think carefully." Li Zheng nodded awkwardly.

Zhang Qi re-draws a drawing, which looks like a roller used to brush cloths in a dyeing workshop.

After seeing it clearly, Li Zheng felt like he was enlightened.

It turns out that this is how it is used. In order to ensure the uniform color of the cloth, the dyed cloth will be re-brushed.

This is the origin of Zhang Qi's idea.

I still have a specialty in my profession. If I hadn't been this, I might have been rubbing page after page without this.

After reading the drawings, Zhang Qi said, "What does the county marquis think of this method?"

Li Zheng said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, I can barely make use of it."

Zhang Qi hurriedly said, "If there is a better way, the county marquis must tell me that we will make a living by relying on craftsmanship. Brothers can also have an extra bite of food in the future."

Shaking the palm-leaf fan in his hand, Li Zhengqi smiled and said, "Of course."

Although it is still manual, it has become semi-automatic and the efficiency will be much better.

It's like a semi-automatic stamp on the assembly line.

The paper rolls in strips as the roller grows, and the rubbing becomes like a stamp, just stamp it.

It is much easier to save money, but it must be under the conditions of absolutely tough paper.

Zhang Qi looked at the dry paper. This paper was very rough and could easily turn yellow after being left for a long time.

Although the quality is a bit bad, there is still room for improvement.

Zhang Qi took his own carpenter class to start building the workshop.

Just leave the next thing to these carpenters, and Li Zheng was idle again.

Money is a good thing, and Li Zheng fully understands its importance.

In this Tang Dynasty, which lacks books.

Li Zheng was sure to make paper books sell well.

Li Tai said while eating an unknown fruit: "Li Zheng, I heard that some ministers in the court suggested that his father reduce the expenses of the army."

“Why?”

"It is said that it is because the northwest direction is too peaceful and the Hexi Corridor has also been recovered. Next, we should rest and not be impatient."

Li Zheng sat up and said indifferently: "What does it have to do with me?"

Li Tai whispered: "What do you think? What should you do?"

Li Zheng shook the fan and smiled, "Of course I don't think so, this kind of words is a fallacy."

"How do you say this?"

"Even if our opponents look weaker than us now, we cannot take it lightly. Peace is the source of arrogance. We should never underestimate our opponents, born from distress and dying from happiness."

"A very powerful person said that without a sword in his hand and not having a sword are different."

Li Tai nodded, "Born in distress, die in peace... No sword in hand and no sword in hand are two different things. It seems like a very simple sentence, but it makes sense, and there is..."

After pausing, Li Tai said, "I may be going back to Chang'an recently."

"real!?"

Li Zheng stood up excitedly and immediately became energetic.

Looking at Li Zheng's happy look, Li Tai patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will come to your house to eat often. After all, I am used to your house's meals, and I can't eat anything from other families."

Li Zheng: “…”

"Hahaha!"

After laughing three times, Li Tai turned around and got into a carriage and headed for Chang'an.

In Chang'an, Li Tai came to the Ganlu Palace and saw Li Shimin bowing and said, "Father."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "From tomorrow, you will go to court to follow the government."

Hearing this, Li Tai was happy and immediately saluted, "Thank you, Father."

"Get back." Li Shimin said without raising his head.

The only one who can go to court to rule among princes has always been the only one who can go to court to rule.

Unexpectedly, my father also asked me to follow the politics this time.

But I let myself back without saying a few more words.

Before leaving, Li Tai took a look and found that his father was watching the Legend of the White Snake.

It's also fascinating.

Leave the Ganlu Temple to ask your mother.

When I came to Lizheng Hall, I greeted my mother, Empress Changsun, and let myself retreat without saying a few words.

Li Tai looked at the situation here and found that Li Zhi and her mother were both holding a book called White Snake and watching attentively.

Walking in Chang'an, I haven't come to Chang'an for a long time, but I didn't expect that everyone in Chang'an is talking about the story of the Legend of the White Snake.

Chang'an became lively again because of the story of the Legend of the White Snake.

I don’t know why I stopped after selling a batch of books in Jingyang.

The price of the book The Legend of White Snake is getting higher and higher.

Paper pages were so rare in the Tang Dynasty.

It is too luxurious for people today to bind a book with paper.

Some people even buy it at a high price and use it as a future lonely book.

In the court on the second day

Li Tai walked into the Tai Chi Hall and looked at Li Chengqian, "Emperor Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai vigilantly, "Being able to listen to politics is a good opportunity to learn politics. Don't neglect your father's expectations of you."

"That's natural." Li Tai said respectfully to Li Chengqian.

Fang Xuanling stopped in his ears when the conversation between the prince and the King of Wei was also seen by the two brothers.

Will Li Tai come to listen to the government and Li Chengqian really be happy? It may not be possible.

These two brothers have never dealt with each other, and have been like this since childhood.

Fang Xuanling could hear the mutual response between the words.

With Li Shimin's arrival, the court meeting began.

The six ministries each reported their own affairs.

Li Shimin was not in good spirits and was a little drowsy.

The book with chapters like the Legend of the White Snake can't stop at a glance.

I saw it late at night last night, and I have to say that it was really a touching story.

Speaking of the incident of garrisoning troops, the two sides of the court and China began to argue again.

The Minister of War, Hou Junji and other generals disagreed with reducing their troops and laying off their troops.

The civil officials were filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, Jianwu Land will fight against the military and military force. The consequences of the situation can be imagined. Now the border has been conquered."

"Your Majesty, what if the army is removed, what will happen if the Turks and Tubo fight again?"

"Your Majesty! This is also to reassure the Turks."

"Your Majesty, you should rest with the people now and let the people in the world rest and recuperate."

...

The court could not argue again.

Li Tai glanced at his father's face and seemed to be a little angry.
Chapter completed!
