186 Paper and letterpress printing

Today's court meeting ended very early, and many of the ministers below did not react, and they were still in a daze. Until the eunuch in front of the palace shouted, "Retreat!" Only then did he come back to his senses, and saw the emperor stand up, walked to the queen's side and stretched out his left hand, the queen smiled, stretched out her right hand and put it in the emperor's palm, and the two of them generously held hands and came down from the imperial steps, and their bodies went to the apse next to each other......

The ministers with better eyes could see the queen's white fingers and dimples at the corners of her mouth, as well as the emperor's smile full of gentle eyes, and everyone saw the sweet and greasy pink bubbles around the emperor......

Well, young people, newlyweds, normal, right?

Everyone looked around at each other, and their eyes were full of tacit understanding of "I am from the past, I understand the thoughts of young people......

When the emperor and queen walked to the apse, the ministers turned around and walked out of the hall. At this moment, Gonggong Fu's apprentice, Gonggong Xiaodezi, hurriedly ran in and said: "The emperor has issued an edict, Lord Chen, the left attendant of the Propaganda Department, is here!" ”

Chen Wenfeng, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, is nearly forty years old, has been fond of woodworking utensils since he was a child, and Yang Weng Cui Chongyu took the same year of scientific research, and the top three Jinshi was the first to be sealed, and he was awarded the position of a member of the Ministry of Labor. After the palace change, he resigned, bought an industry outside Chang'an City, and started an idle field.

The Chen family still has some family background, Chen Wenfeng married Zhou Boduan's sister, relying on the Zhou family to help, and the famine outside did not affect him much.

After San Lang ascended the throne, Zhou Boduan mentioned Chen Wenfeng in front of Yang Weng. Yang Weng is in the same department as him, and he also went to the Qionglin banquet together back then, and he has a good impression of him. Zhou Boduan struck while the iron was hot and called him over to meet Yang Weng and Cui Chongyu. After the two examined him, they found that he was very talented and energetic in Gewu, so they recommended him to the Ministry of Engineering from Saburo.

San Lang still trusts Yang Weng and Cui Chongyu's vision. The Ministry of Industry has always been vacant, even if it is Enke, no one can directly do the book if they win the champion, and they need to start from the bottom. As for Chen Wenfeng, even if he only spent more than two years in the Ministry of Industry more than ten years ago, he is experienced after all, isn't he?

San Lang and Yang Weng Cui Chongyu both mean to let him be a squire first, if he is really capable, it is okay to really give him a scholarly position when the time comes.

Chen Wenfeng had never seen the emperor in a place other than the Great Imperial Meeting, and when he heard the summons, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and couldn't help but look up at Yang Weng, but saw Yang Weng and Cui Chongyu hurriedly go out, and he didn't look at him. Instead, Zhou Boduan came to his side and said, "There is no need to be nervous, the saint and His Highness are both kind." ”

When Zhou Boduan presented gold to San Lang, San Lang and Mu Fushu met him with dignity in recognition of his generosity, talked with him cordially, and gave him lunch in the Taiji Palace. In Zhou Boduan's eyes, the emperor and queen are a pair of surprisingly beautiful and amiable people, and there is no need to worry about the cousin-in-law at all.

As for why Zhou Boduan felt that Chen Wenfeng was going to see the emperor and queen here, hehe, he didn't see a good person for the emperor and queen when the court meeting? Newlyweds, the love of the emperor and queen, and the original wife of the concubine...... Thinking of his old wife at home, his heart was hot, and he said that the concubine was all floating clouds in the room...... It's still an old wife who knows cold and hot!

Zhou Boduan quickened his pace, thinking that he would go back early, and his wife must have prepared delicious soup cakes for him to enjoy when he went home.

Stimulated by the emperor's show of affection, Zhou Boduan was not the only one who remembered the sweet time when he got married, Yang Weiai and Cui Chongyu were stable on the surface, but in fact, it was not your plan to fight for me, and I went home first to see my beloved wife and son (female)......

The rest of the people also seem to feel something, and those who have a heart can also see the emperor's respect and love for the empress. What's more, it seems that this Sheng Kangdi pays more attention to the original match than Emperor Yang of Sui, and he must be very concerned about the problem of concubines, well, fortunately, there is only chaff in a certain family...... Well, even if there are one or two intercourse, don't you have any children......

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, Chen Wenfeng followed behind Xiao Dezi's father-in-law, and his steps were still a little vain.

Although Xiao Dezi is called "Xiao" Dezi, he is also twenty-five this year. He entered the palace at the age of six, and when he was eight years old, it coincided with the palace change, when he was still a little eunuch in the "official room" who was a full-time toilet washer. Afterwards, he hid in the imperial dining room with a few little eunuchs of about the same size, and met Gonggong Fu and Gonggong Xi, who also escaped the catastrophe, they were older at the time, and then led them to survive in the palace with difficulty.

Xiao Dezi was young when he entered the palace, his brain was lively and smart, and he was also kind and diligent. Gonggong Fu liked him very much, so he accepted him as an apprentice. After Saburo ascended the throne, he reused his father-in-law, and Xiao Dezi was also promoted to be a eunuch in front of the palace. Although it is doing errands and passing words, it is the most pleasing job.

Those officials who have the foresight will always stuff a purse or something when they pass on the word or pass on that thing, which is even acquiesced by Her Royal Highness the Queen, known as "tip", as long as they don't cross the line, the emperor and queen say it doesn't matter, and they don't have any pressure to take it.

Chen Wenfeng followed Xiao Dezi out of Hanyuan Palace, and was stunned when he passed by Xuanzheng Palace. Usually, the saint summons his ministers here, but I didn't expect to summon him here today.

After walking for a while, Xiao Dezi led him into the Taiji Palace.

San Lang and Mu Fushu had already changed their court clothes at this time.

There is an earth dragon in the Taiji Palace, which is extremely hot, and the indoor temperature is afraid to be above 20 degrees. San Lang wore a dark round-necked shirt in regular clothes, Mu Fushu changed into a pale pink Xiangshui skirt, and wore a water pink gown outside, saving the shawl. That thing is good-looking, but it's inconvenient to procrastinate.

When Chen Wenfeng stepped into the main hall of Taiji Palace, what he saw was the pink and tender queen sitting on a dark red cotton long soft couch (that is a double sofa, dear!). The saint sat behind the bookcase to her left, holding a few pieces of paper and talking to her as he looked at them.

Chen Wenfeng took off his cotton robe in the outer hall and handed it to the palace people, and after entering the inner room, he bowed and said, "Saint Wan'an!" Your Highness Hail! ”

The etiquette here is very relaxed, except for the great dynasty, officials do not need to kneel when they see the emperor, they only need to say Wan'an or Wanfu.

San Lang said "um", but Mu Fushu chuckled and said, "Lord Chen doesn't have to be nervous, sit down." ”

Chen Wenfeng looked along the queen's finger and saw the first cotton couch under the emperor and the queen sitting under the queen. The couch had a strange appearance, with a backrest at the back, and the armrests on the left and right were high, enclosing the square, recessed chairs in the middle.

Chen Wenfeng arched his hand, walked to the couch and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he was startled, the couch was so soft that it sucked him in.

The emperor gave the seat, and the ministers could not fill the seat, but could only sit halfway, that is, rest half of the buttocks. It was only when the couch was so soft that he put down half of his buttocks, and he was sunk by the soft cushion.

When he sat up straight in a hurry, Mu Fushu was already amused by his appearance, and San Lang couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "This is the sofa, and there will be shops in the city to sell this item soon." Lord Chen doesn't have to be restrained, just sit tight. ”

Mu Fushu smiled and said, "What does Lord Chen think of this sofa?" ”

Chen Wenfeng sighed: "The cotton is soft! Comfortable! When you sit on it, you don't want to get up. ”

Mu Fushu chuckled: "This sofa also has a name, called lazy bones." ”

Chen Wenfeng couldn't help laughing: "It's really appropriate!" ”

San Lang walked up to Mu Fushu and sat down next to her, and the two were close to each other. Chen Wenfeng is a person who is very obsessed with Gewu, and seeing that the emperor and queen are indeed kind, he couldn't help but sit on it twice again, and asked, "I don't know what is filled in this sofa?" If it's cotton, it shouldn't be so elastic! ”

San Lang and Mu Fushu glanced at each other, and they both felt that this person was very research-minded, and it seemed that he was capable of doing practical things.

"In addition to cotton, there is also a mesh chair surface wrapped with brown strips." Saburo explained.

This sofa is actually made by Mu Fushu combined with the practice of brown trampoline, who said that the current wire spring has not been manufactured?

Chen Wenfeng deserves to be a researcher of Gewu, and he understood after listening to San Lang's explanation, and he clapped his hands and sighed: "It's really good!" ”

Seeing that he was fidgeting as if he was about to disassemble the sofa and look at it, San Lang cleared his throat and said, "Lord Chen, I called you here today for this matter. ”

After speaking, he handed him a few thin pieces of paper in his hand.

Chen Wenfeng hurriedly stepped forward, bent down to take it, took two steps back, sat down and watched.

Mu Fushu picked up a thin bound book on a few cases, and whispered something to San Lang while looking at it.

Chen Wenfeng finished reading the paper in his hand quickly, his legs trembled with excitement, and he couldn't help but stand up and said in a trembling voice: "Sage, Your Highness, is this how the paper in the minister's hand is made?" ”

Saburo nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then this letterpress printing, is it also handed over to the Ministry of Industry to do?"

Mu Fushu tapped his finger on the tabletop: "The Ministry of Industry will carve out all the movable type editions first, and then the imperial court will run a newspaper, and the printing of the periodicals will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry." The printing of ordinary books can be jointly carried out by the Ministry of Industry and merchants. The Ministry of Industry typesetting, business printing, the Ministry of Industry and the business share the profits. ”

Although Chen Wenfeng is from the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Household Shangshu is his uncle, His Royal Highness said very clearly, that is, the Ministry of Industry typesets movable type, and the merchant is responsible for printing, and then calls the money for typesetting to the Ministry of Industry, and if it is divided according to the profits, it means that the merchant will give as much as he sells the book, not just give the money for typesetting......

The queen is really a god! Chen Wenfeng couldn't help but be in awe of the queen.

Saburo leaned on the backrest, one hand still around the queen's shoulder, and casually rested on the armrest on the other side. When Chen Wenfeng spoke, he took the small book in the queen's hand and handed it to Chen Wenfeng and said: "This is the scope of the test questions of Enke, and the first edition of the Ministry of Industry will be engraved out and distributed after the movable type engraving is made, and it will be distributed throughout the country before the end of the month." ”

Chen Wenfeng respectfully took the paper in San Lang's hand, did not look at it, saluted respectfully, and looked at the "sofa" reluctantly when he retired.

Perhaps because his eyes were too resentful, Mu Fushu suddenly spoke: "Pass on the order of the palace: give Lord Chen a sofa." ”

Chen Wenfeng was overjoyed, turned around and saluted Mu Fushu again, and went out happily.

Mu Fushu is very considerate, she uses "send", not "give", even if Chen Wenfeng wants to disassemble the sofa and look at the structure carefully, no one will say that he is not, if it is given, then it has to be offered. R1152
