Getting out the engraving printing is something that Li Tong has been thinking about for a long time.

Needless to say, the positive role of continuing to popularize knowledge is another important role, that is, the control of ideological discourse.

His grandmother Wu Zetian is naturally an expert in this area, and she is keen on compiling books, but when she was the queen, she was limited to the way of transmission, and the books she compiled had not yet spread on a large scale. After becoming the emperor, she directly listed the "Minister's Track" edited by her as the subject of the imperial examination, and everyone who wanted to become an official had to study it.

At present, Li Tong is naturally not qualified to challenge the battlefield of ideology at the top, but he can also use the Old Clothes Society as a foundation to expand his ideas from the bottom.

For example, women can be emperors, and the values of the hearts of the people in the world are shattered. Since the wife can take over her husband's family business, what is unacceptable for the grandson to directly pick up the gun in the grandmother's hand?

The reason why Buddhism has spread widely is that in addition to the active promotion of Hu Zhu in successive dynasties since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is also because the propaganda and penetration power at the bottom are really high. Many stories of Buddhist scriptures have been mixed into some folk tales, and the scriptures are popular in the market.

Those who don't have a little distraction in their hearts, and their own life experience is not enough to deal with these thoughts, can only draw nourishment from the story within the channels that they can accept, and take them as the truth.

Li Tong has not been idle in the past few years in Qianling, although there is no famous copying in Shilin, but there are also a lot of copying careers. However, these texts were copied without their own names, and they were mainly concentrated in the name of Wang Fanzhi, a strange person in the early Tang Dynasty.

Steamed buns outside the city, stuffed grass in the city. One person eats one, and it doesn't taste good.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Fanzhi's poetic style can be described as fresh and wonderful, just look at this one to understand the rough, said to be a limerick poem, but it has its own taste under the touch, and the truth can be described as simple and profound.

Therefore, Wang Fanzhi's poems may not be the mainstream of Shilin, but their popularity among the people is far from being comparable to those of Shen and Song. When his life was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was already an old man, and Li Tong didn't have to copy it even if he wanted to, but he could add materials.

More than 100 acres of family land, the husband died, and outsiders invaded. You are greedy for your Mole, and you have no children and grandchildren.

Wang Fanzhi's popular poems are widely circulated, and the scope of coverage is also extremely wide, in addition to some preachy principles that teach people to be happy and content, there is also no lack of poems that teach people to be sophisticated.

There is no need to deliberately collect them, Li Tong has compiled hundreds of songs, and after reading them carefully, he can guess that he is by no means the first person to add material to them. The values and outlook on life conveyed by these poems are not lacking in self-contradiction, which shows that they were not written by one person, but should have been added and erased at will in the transmission channel.

Li Tong also deleted and modified according to his own ideas and needs, erased some poems that were obviously fake or too negative Buddhism, and added the materials he added to organize them into a selection of 300 poems.

This is the first batch of engraving works he intends to put as an internal reading material for the Old Clothes Society. Regardless of the reasoning, at least it can be used as a literacy book. After reading the whole text, the water is wet over the ground, and the basic literacy and hyphenation can be guaranteed.

Similarly, there are technical books such as mathematics, material resources, and agricultural books, according to the current style of volume-bound books, in the past two years or so, Li Tong can be said to be equal to his works, and when the printing workshop is set up, he can be released to the outside one after another.

Although these are all long-term achievements that take time to accumulate, if you make an optimistic estimate, it will take time for Li Tong to really shake up, and when he really takes the position, at least there will be a large number of reserve talents between the two capitals for him to select and appoint.

chatted with the government officials for a long time, but before they knew it, it was already late, and Li Shouli's banquet had ended, and they came to Li Tong drunk. Seeing this, the officials got up and retreated, letting the young brother talk privately.

"You don't rest, you might as well stay in the table and have fun."

Li Shouli sat on the couch, quite drunk, looked at Li Tong and said: "San Lang, I have already mentioned to them what you told me, and they are quite interested, but they have no idea how to make a profit. ”

Li Tong was quite trapped by money, and his mind was always calculating how to make a profit. Li Shouli loves to make friends and has good popularity, and he also sees it in his eyes, so he naturally won't let go of this network resource.

Li Shouli's mind is not delicate and cautious enough, like the fundamental plan of the Old Clothes Society, Li Tong does not dare to reveal too much to him, many books are exchanged, except for the government members who are in charge of their own stalls, the main thing is that the eldest brother Li Guangshun is helping him take care of it.

However, the three brothers in the family cannot be excluded, not to mention that Li Shouli, this guy eats a lot, and he has to squeeze some value. Therefore, as early as the time of Qianling, Li Tong calculated that when he arrived in Xijing, Li Shouli came forward and invited a group of Guan Longxun's noble sons to set up a trading company to do some business.

Although it is often said that with the collapse of the eldest grandson Wuji by Gaozong, the Guan Longxungui group is no longer vigorous, but the main thing is that there is no leading representative in politics.

But in fact, today's Guan Longxun nobles are still not to be underestimated, especially in terms of economic assets, they still have a very deep heritage, which is not even comparable to those Shandong families. After all, the founding dividend shared by the two emperors is not something that can be lost in just two or three generations.

And even politically, Guan Longxun and his nobles are not in a slump.

The marriage group of Li Wuwei Yang formed in the late Wu Zhou period can be said to be a product of Guan Longxungui's rebirth, and the power was concentrated in the hands of a few families, and this situation lasted until the Kaiyuan Tianbao period.

Yu Yang Mo came agitatedly, breaking the song of neon clothes and feathers. After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, it not only shattered the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but also ended the control of the political group of Li Wuwei Yang, and at the same time, the Tang Emperor no longer had control over the entire world.

Regardless of the future, at least for the time being, if he can borrow the strength of a group of Guan Longxun, it will be very helpful to Li Tong.

His grandmother Wu Zetian has been placed on the opposite side of Guan Longxun by Gaozong since the beginning of his ascendancy, and in the past few years, although Wu Zetian has also selectively accepted some of these forces, the overall attitude of suppression has also been presented.

Therefore, the current situation of Guan Longxun nobles is comparable to that of the eunuchs in the Great Interior, even if they are willing to be loyal to the empress, the trust they can gain is limited. Rebuilding Li Tang is one of the few ways out for them.

For example, the Yang Zhirou family of Hongnong Yang's family, Wu Zetian is not unkind to him, and he regards it from outsiders, but during the Shenlong Revolution, Yang Zhirou's younger brother Yang Zhiyi still stood on the side of the Li Tang clan and helped the revolution with thousands of horsemen.

Li Tong didn't expect Li Shouli and his friends to engage in any big conspiracy, and it would be very good to be able to borrow financial resources and connections to help the development of the Old Clothes Society.

"One by one, he is a lord of the country, and his upbringing is superior, but he doesn't know how to build a family and govern his business, and he is really begging for food with Kimporo, which makes people laugh."

Hearing Li Shouli say this, Li Tong said with a smile.

Li Shouli rolled his eyelids and glanced at him: "Don't underestimate people too much, we are private brothers, you have nothing to say about using me, and I don't dare not listen." But those Zhumen disciples, who are growing up in groups, which one is not full of calculations? Really look at the shrewd, I don't have a budget, so as not to be entangled in some goods and profits, noisy, and attract people to wait and see. ”

Hearing Li Shouli say this, Li Tong couldn't help but be impressed, and Li Guangshun next to him couldn't help but sigh: "Erlang looks sparse and stupid, and he doesn't want to have a splendid dense weave between his henchmen!" ”

Hearing the eldest brother's praise, Li Shouli couldn't help but smile: "I just don't like to show off, the eldest brother in family affairs is hardworking, and the younger brother in foreign affairs is calculating, blessed people, how can they use their own hard work!" There are more than ten people in my plan, San Lang, you can use it with confidence, they can't pass me in their scheming, and there will be no uncertainties. ”

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but give Li Shouli a thumbs up, and Li Shouli was even happier when he saw this: "In the old year, except for the murder of the Qiu thief, you didn't predict me, I was very unhappy in my heart, but I also knew that I was not meticulous." You have a lot of homework right now, although I don't know about it, but I can't see it? It's just that I'm worried that my mouth is not tight, so I don't dare to ask deeply. In short, my brother won't harm me, as long as San Lang should go down to me, and leave his name Li Shouli in the tomb a hundred years later, you don't have to tell me anything else! ”

"The second brother is really wise and foolish!"

Li Tong couldn't help but sigh, and patted Li Shouli's shoulder with relief.

Although their family lived in seclusion in Qianling, they were not completely exempt from the turmoil of the world. In the September Revolution of the first year of Tianzhu, Emperor Li Dan asked himself to change his surname to Wu and abdicate to his mother. It was also during this month that all three of them were given the surname Wu.

Changing the surname to Wu at the moment is actually not a humiliation, but a kind of protection. It shows that Li Tong has done all kinds of things to help the revolution, and his grandmother has remembered it in her heart. Otherwise, the kings of the Manchu Dynasty are all surnamed Wu, but their brother's surname is Li, which is too unsociable and eye-catching.

Li Tong didn't have much resistance to changing his surname, and it was not the first time that their Li family had changed, if he really wanted to live in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, he still had to be called Ono Baoyu. However, I didn't expect Li Shouli to be very stimulated, and he calculated that when he died in the future, he would never be buried under the name of Wu Shouli.

"I won't talk about what happened in the future, the second brother can have a common relationship, and it is indeed a lot of help. You let them raise money first, and I will order people to go to the east of the river to help collect salt goods, and transfer them to the north and south of the river. ”

Hedong has its own salt and iron benefits, which is a good business for a million profits in any period, and the imperial court has not yet carried out the reform of the salt and iron franchise.

Li Tong Fengguo is located in Puzhou, Hedong, and there is a gap in this regard, first opening up the road and then gradually expanding the business. Use the convenience of his fiefdom and the connections of these Guan Longxun nobles to extract salt goods, go straight to Bianzhou, and then receive and distribute the goods by the Old Clothes Society, both of which can benefit.

It's not that he doesn't have a more sassy operation plan, but as Li Shouli said, those noble sons themselves may lack wisdom, but the elders of the family are extremely calculating. Only by maintaining and consolidating this layer of relationship with direct and simple benefits can we make further attempts.
