Chapter 139 enlightening Li Tai

Facing Li Shimin's yell, Li Junxian replied: "I have sent someone to investigate. I believe that news will come soon. However, I will finally go to Li Zheng to print a book when I heard that the Fang Xiang family is going to Li Zheng."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Go and call the room."

Fang Xuanling was sitting at home, and the books at home had been printed into paper books.

The handwriting on each copy of the book is very neat.

It looks pleasing to the eye and is much lighter.

I received a report from my servants at home that it was summoned by Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling then got up and went to the palace.

When he came to Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "Xuanling, you have asked Li Zheng to print the book."

“It’s true.”

Fang Xuanling answered truthfully, looking at Li Shimin's somewhat displeased face, and then said, "But at that time, Li Zheng told me that he wanted a business to support his small business."

"Small business?"

"Yes, what he is talking about is small business."

Li Shimin looked out the window depressedly, "He almost caused a sensation in Chang'an. He is still a small business? Li Zheng really has the face to say."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Li Zheng has always been like this. In his Jingyang County, it is the richest county in Chang'an. He still talks about poverty."

Li Shimin held his forehead, "The entire Chang'an scholars ran to Jingyang, and Li Zheng could print so many books."

Recalling the situation when he visited Li Zhengyin's study before, Fang Xuanling said, "Report to Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is something I want to tell Your Majesty, but there have been too many things in the court recently and it has been put on hold."

Li Shimin nodded.

Fang Xuanling also said: "Li Zheng's printing workshop uses a method called movable type printing. Printing hundreds of books of Dream of the Red Chamber in a day should not be a big problem."

Picking up the Dream of Red Mansions in his hand, Li Shimin said suspiciously: "What a thick paper book?"

“It’s not only cheap, but also the speed of printing books is very fast.”

Li Junxian came to report: "Your Majesty, Li Zheng has printed five hundred books in one day."

"five hundred……"

Li Shimin was quiet for a long time, and turned around and searched for the memorials sent by these days. I remember the memorials sent by Li Zheng to do business with me? Where did he go!

Jingyang Village is very busy.

Li Zheng was happily playing cards at the lively scene in front of him, and sat with Li Chongyi and Li Tai.

Li Tai whispered: "Li Zheng, your Dream of Red Mansions has caused quite a stir in the court."

"I know." Li Zheng played a card.

Li Chongyi also played a card, "You don't seem to care at all."

As long as Dream of Red Mansions and The Legend of White Snake can cause a sensation in Chang'an, of course, Li Zhengyi is not this. Printing books and selling books are two different things.

Li Zheng sighed and said, "Actually, I am just a printed book. To be honest, I didn't write the Legend of the White Snake or the Dream of the Red Chamber."

Of course, Li Tai didn't think so in his heart. Even if Li Zheng doesn't admit it now, people in Chang'an think that these two books were written by Li Zheng.

Even Kong Yingda, who is well-read, has never heard of the story of the Legend of the White Snake and the Dream of the Red Chamber.

If you say that this story was not written by Li Zheng, who would believe it if you tell it?

"When will His Highness the King of Wei pay me back?"

A sudden sentence interrupted Li Tai's thoughts.

After coughing twice, Li Tai said, "Let's play cards well, what do you think you are doing?"

Li Zheng fired a bomb and said, "Your Highness, do you know?"

Li Tai: "What do you know?"

Li Zheng sighed and said, "I used to have someone who owed me money but didn't pay it back."

Li Tai: "What happened later?"

"The man died later."

Li Tai laughed strangely, "Don't worry, my father hasn't restored my expenses yet. I'll pay you back when my expenses are restored."

Li Zheng sighed to the sky again, "Your Highness of the King of Wei not only came to my house to eat and drink for so much time, but also owed money and didn't pay it back. What's wrong with this world?"

Seeing Li Tai looking at him with a resentful look on his face, Li Zheng hurriedly said, "Just, just kidding."

Holding the playing cards made of bamboo slices in his hand, Li Tai whispered: "Li Zheng, you will get rich. People like you will get rich one day."

"I borrow your good words."

Li Chongyi listened to the conversation between the two and interrupted, "His Royal Highness of Wei has become so powerful in the court recently, and Tang Jian knelt down on the spot."

Tang Jian? By the way, Tang Jian is a capable person and made contributions to the Weishui Alliance back then.

This person was quite famous when Li Yuan raised an army in Jinyang. Until now, this person is not very good at speaking and is not very popular with Li Shimin.

This led to this man being one of the twelve heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, he would not be very popular with Li Shimin until his death.

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Actually it's nothing. I just said it as Li Zheng."

“…”

"Li Zheng, why are you watching me like this?"

He sighed and patted Li Tai on the shoulder. Li Zheng said, "Your Highness, you are playing with fire."

"What's the meaning?"

Shaking the palm-leaf fan in his hand, Li Zheng said, "You are the King of Wei, you are not the prince. What would you think of the prince who is so popular? What would your father think?"

After hearing what Li Zheng said, Li Tai's expression became nervous.

According to Li Tai's IQ, he will not be unable to understand his meaning.

Things between princes are in a sense the royal family affairs.

It would be great if Li Tai could understand what he meant.

If this little fat man couldn't understand, he would probably become a target for others.

Sometimes pretending to be a grandchild is not a bad thing.

After calming down, Li Tai said, "Li Zheng, what you mean is that I shouldn't be so popular."

"In the original intention, the affairs between your princes are royal family affairs, and I shouldn't have been involved,"

Looking at Li Zheng's unfathomable expression, could Li Zheng want to remind him?

Li Tai listened attentively.

"Your Highness King Wei, it's good that you can live well, but if you become a victim in the struggle for power and dying early, who will pay me back the money?"

“…”

Li Tai stood up and pointed at Li Zheng and said, "So you're still doing it for the money."

"Man is dead for money and birds die for food." Li Zheng was serious.

Isn’t it important to have such good intentions in the court that Li Zheng’s money comes from?

Li Tai sat aside and asked again: "What should I do if you say I can't show off so much?"

"Do you know why your father asked you to go to court to follow the government?"

“Why?”
