Chapter 135: There is no sword to use
Call the foreman Zhang Qi and transfer the craftsman class.
Looking at a drawing, Zhang Qi, who had many years of experience as a craftsman, saw the purpose at a glance, and he asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, is this for rubbing?" ”
"It's 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 can be taken down at any time to replace and reuse, which is much better than those bulky carved plates.
Zhang Qi looked at the slightly stupid seal of the big cow and said, "Master Hou, why don't you use the method of dyeing cloth?" ”
"Dyeing cloth?" Li Zheng thought to himself.
Zhang Qi said again: "But it's really troublesome to build, it will take some time, and Lord Hou must have thought it through, but print the book first to see the results." ”
"Yes, yes, I've got to think it through." Li Zheng nodded awkwardly.
Zhang Qi redrew a drawing, which resembled a drum used to brush cloth in a dyeing workshop.
After seeing it, Li Zheng was like an initiation.
It turns out that in order to ensure the uniform color of the cloth, the dyeing workshop will brush the dyed cloth again.
This is the origin of Zhang Qi's idea.
Or there is a specialization in the art industry, or if it weren't for this Qi, maybe I would still be just as confused and laborious page after page of rubbing.
After reading the drawings, Zhang Qi said: "What does the county marquis think of this method." ”
Li Zheng said with a little embarrassment: "It's okay, barely make use of it." ”
Zhang Qi hurriedly smiled and said: "If there is a better way, the county marquis must tell Zaixia, we will rely on craftsmanship to eat, and the brothers with one more craft can also eat one more bite in the future." ”
Shaking the pu fan in his hand, Li Zhengwei said with a smile: "Of course." ”
Although it is still manual, it has tended to be semi-automatic, and the efficiency will be much better.
It's like a semi-automatic stamp on an assembly line.
The paper rolls in a long strip with the roller, and the rubbing becomes a stamp, and the cover is good.
It's a lot of trouble, but it also has to be absolutely tough on paper.
Zhang Qi looked at the dried paper, this kind of paper is very rough, and it is easy to turn yellow after being left for a long time.
Although the quality is a little poor, there is still room for improvement.
Zhang Qi took his carpenter class and began to build the workshop.
The rest of the matter is left to these carpenter class people, and Li Zheng is idle again.
Money is a good thing, and Li Zheng fully understands its importance.
In this Datang that lacks books.
Li Zheng is sure that he can make paper books sell well.
Li Tai came eating an unknown fruit and said, "Li Zheng, I heard that the ministers of the court have suggested that my 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, and then we should recuperate, and we should not use military force."
Li Zheng sat up and said indifferently: "What does it have to do with me." ”
Li Tai said in a low voice, "What do you think? What should I do? ”
Li Zheng shook his fan and smiled: "Of course I don't think so, this kind of statement is a fallacy." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Even if the opponent seems weaker than us now, we can't take it lightly, comfort is the source of arrogance, we should never underestimate our opponent, born in sorrow and die in peace."
"There is a very powerful person who said that not having a sword in your hand and not using a sword are two different things."
Li Tai nodded, "Born in sorrow, died in peace...... Not having a sword in your hand and not having a sword are two different things. It seems like a very simple sentence, but it makes a lot of sense, and there are ......"
After a pause, Li Tai said, "Recently, I may have to go back to Chang'an." ”
"Really!?"
Li Zheng stood up excitedly and immediately came to his senses.
Looking at Li Zheng's happy face, Li Tai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will often come to your house for dinner, after all, I am used to eating your food, and I am not used to eating other people's food." ”
Li Zheng: "......"
"Hahaha!"
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 Hall and saw Li Shimin bowing down and saying, "Father." ”
Li Shimin nodded slightly, "From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the court to listen to the government." ”
Hearing this, Li Tai was overjoyed and immediately saluted, "Thank you, Father." ”
"Stand down." Li Shimin said without raising his head.
For a long time, the only one among the princes who could go to the court to listen to the government was the crown prince Li Chengqian.
Unexpectedly, this time my father also let himself listen to the government.
But without saying a word, he let himself back down.
Li Tai took a second look before leaving, and found that his father was looking at the legend of the White Snake.
It's also fascinating to watch.
He left the temple of manna and greeted his mother.
came to the Lizheng Hall and greeted his mother, the eldest grandson, the queen, and let himself retire without saying a few words.
Li Tai looked at the situation here and found that Lizhi and the queen mother were both holding a copy of the White Snake Biography and watching it intently.
Walking in Chang'an, I haven't been to Chang'an for a long time, but I didn't expect everyone in Chang'an today to talk about the story of the White Snake.
Chang'an is lively again because of the story of the White Snake.
I don't know why Jingyang stopped after selling a batch of books.
The price of the book "The Legend of the White Snake" has been speculated higher and higher.
Paper books are too rare in Datang.
A book bound on paper is too luxurious for people nowadays.
Some people even buy it at a high price and use it directly as a solitary book in the future.
On the second day, in the court
Li Tai walked into the Taiji Hall and looked at Li Chengqian, "Brother Huang, 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 political affairs, don't neglect your father's expectations of you." ”
"That's nature." Li Tai said respectfully to Li Chengqian.
The conversation between the two brothers of the prince and the king of Wei, Fang Xuanling stopped in his ears, and the expressions between the two brothers were also in his eyes.
Will Lee Tae-chan really be happy to listen to the government? Not really.
The two brothers have always been at odds, and they have been like this since childhood.
The words are directed at each other, and Fang Xuanling can hear it.
With the arrival of Li Shimin, the court meeting began.
Each of the six departments reported on its own affairs.
Li Shimin's spirit was not very good, and he was a little drowsy.
The White Snake Biography is a little unstoppable at first glance.
I saw it late at night last night, and I have to say that it's really a pretty moving story.
Speaking of the matter of the garrison, the DPRK and China began to quarrel again.
The generals of the Ministry of War, such as Shangshu Hou Junji, did not agree to reduce the number of troops and reduce the army.
The ministers were filled with indignation, "Your Majesty, the end of Jianwu and Lu to resist the poor army can be imagined, and now the border has been closed." ”
"Your Majesty, what if the army is cut and the Turks and Tibetans come again?"
"Your Majesty! This is also to reassure the Turks. ”
"Your Majesty, now you should rest with the people, and let the people of the world recuperate."
……
The court was once again arguing.
Li Tai glanced at his father's face, and seemed to be a little angry.
Standing out of the court, Li Tai saluted and said, "Father, the son has something to say." ”
