The master who will be the overseer is gone... Li Chengqian on the side looked at Li Zhan and said, "Big brother... Is it true that we won't need bookmaids anymore, and books will become cheaper? ”

"Hehe... Of course... Cheng Qian, you will see a great invention, right... Is Mr. Zhang Xuansu here today? ”

As soon as Li Zhan asked, Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "I'm not in the East Palace, Mr. Zhang is resting today, by the way... Mr. Kong is in. ”

"Kong Yingda...!" Li Zhan nodded and said, "He can too." ”

Kong Yingda... The right concubine of the crown prince... The 31st grandson of Confucius, in the East Palace of the Prince, he is the head of all the masters, and Kong Yingda is preparing to teach the Prince in the East Palace at this time.

At this time, the prince was also late.

"Why is it so late...?" Kong Yingda snorted lightly, you must know that Kong Yingda is a well-known strict teacher.

"Ahh Li Chengqian smiled and bowed down and said, "Master Kong, I went to be a prisoner." ”

"Will you be a prisoner?" Kong Yingda frowned and said, "Why did you go there again, didn't you tell you that your studies are the most important?" ”

Although Li Shimin has improved the status of the general as a prisoner, for Kong Yingda, reading and being a scholar is the most noble, and the prince should do noble things, and he should go to such a lowly place as a prisoner.

So after frowning, Kong Yingda picked up the ring ruler and said, "Late... Five hits...! ”

"Poof...!" Li Chengqian was speechless in his heart, you must know that it hurts to take five strokes of this ring ruler, Kong Yingda, this guy doesn't care if you are a prince or not, but you are a prince, Kong Yingda will beat you hard.

Therefore, Li Chengqian, who was safe for his palm, immediately said: "Wait a minute, Master Kong, I will be a prisoner because of you." ”

"Clams...!" Kong Yingda looked at Li Chengqian with some incomprehension and said, "You are for me?" ”

"It's... Be...! Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "Master Kong, you may not know that my eldest brother Li Zhan... His Takeyama developed a paper made from bamboo.

My father saw it today, liked it very much, and gave him the name jade button paper. ”

"Oh...!" When it came to paper, Kong Yingda became interested and said: "That's really good, I don't know how this jade buckle paper is, whether it's expensive or not."

If the texture is good and the price is cheap, the old man can change the paper in the future. ”

"Hey...!" Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Master Kong, my father said that this jade button paper is not gray, light and thick, thick and light, the poem has a haze and haze, and the book is also a dragon and tiger!" ”

"Oh... His Majesty is a generation of calligraphers, he praised it like this, the texture of the jade button paper should be the top grade, what about the price? Kong Yingda asked Li Chengqian a little impatiently.

"Master Huikong, the price of jade button paper is only one-tenth of that of rattan paper...!"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Kong Yingda immediately smiled and said: "That's great, when the jade button paper is sold, the old man will definitely buy dozens of dollars...!" ”

However, after Kong Yingda finished laughing, Li Chengqian said: "Master Kong, do you know what the biggest use of jade button paper is?" ”

"What is the greatest use of jade button paper?" Kong Yingda thought for a while and said, "Writing? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "No, it's a printed book... My eldest brother said that books printed on jade button paper can not be broken for a hundred years, and they will last for a hundred years...! ”

"Shhhh Print! Kong Yingda showed a yearning look.

You must know that literati, especially literati like Kong Yingda, who have the virtue of their parents and ancestors, are very eager to be famous, because only fame can get rid of the halo of their parents and ancestors.

It's just that it's too difficult, Kong Yingda is knowledgeable, the books he wrote, the scriptures and meanings he notes, and his years of experience can be compiled into a book, Kong Yingda also does this, but it's too difficult to write a book.

You have to find a bookmaid to copy one by one, the price is expensive, and the time is too long, of course... Kong Yingda also knows about engraving printing, but engraving printing has just started, and the price of this engraving printing is ten times that of the bookmaid. Kong Yingda couldn't afford it, so it was even more said that it was engraving printing.

So when he heard the word "printed book", Kong Yingda was a little yearning.

What Kong Yingda didn't expect was that soon, the crown prince Li Chengqian gave him a big, big pie.

"That's right, it's to print books, my eldest brother seems to have a way to quickly print books with jade button paper in addition to making jade button paper... My father asked my eldest brother to hurry up and make this method, and then print a large number of books, and after I knew it, I immediately rushed to the general prison, so that my brother agreed, and I used Master Kong's article to make the first printed book.

Try printing your book first...! ”

"What... You want to print a book for me, Your Royal Highness the Prince, is what you said true or false? Kong Yingda stood up from his position suddenly.

Li Chengqian looked at Kong Yingda, who was a little excited, and smiled: "It's true, but my eldest brother said that I can only print a hundred copies for you... But if you want to print it too, you can...! ”

"Money?" Kong Yingda immediately asked.

"At first, my eldest brother also said that he wanted money, but I knew that the master had no money, so I suggested that the eldest brother should be in another way, and then my eldest brother thought about it, and knew that the master has a lot of books, if you are willing to borrow some books for us to print for free, borrow one, and my eldest brother will help you print ten more copies."

"Really...?" Kong Yingda became excited, because he knew that Kong Yingda's collection of books in his home could be astronomical, and if he borrowed them all, he would be able to compile tens of thousands of books... In this way, his thoughts of Kong Yingda will spread all over the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Kong Yingda immediately walked to Li Chengqian's side, grabbed Li Chengqian violently and said, "Go... Go to the prison and be a prisoner. ”

................................

Seven days later, Kong Yingda held a book delivery party at home.

Zhang Xuansu,Yu Zhining... Wait a minute... All went... When I got the book I compiled by myself given by Kong Yingda, the neat writing and the rich fragrance of ink made everyone present sour.

wanted, wanted, wanted... The literati present also wanted such printed books.

Kong Yingda was finally forced to confess Li Zhan under pressure, and after the book delivery meeting was over, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining and others went to find Li Zhan... However, Li Zhan put forward a strange rule, that is, it is okay to print books, but to borrow books, a collection of books can print ten copies for free.

If the collection is rare, then the number of books printed will be increased, fifty, one hundred... and even a thousand.

Soon, there was a book printing craze in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and the literati who wanted to print books were simply not too many, and some people would definitely say, Li Zhan was not stupid, he was so cheap for these literati, and he didn't want money to print for the literati.

It would be a big mistake to think like this, Li Zhan did this to hang out all the books in the collection, so that he could better pass on the culture.

Li Zhan has a dream, that is, to build a national library in Chang'an City, to preserve all the culture of the Tang Dynasty, so that the culture of the Tang Dynasty can continue.

It is undeniable that the culture of Datang is still very good, it is compatible with all nationalities, and it is somewhat similar to modern culture.

Li Zhan didn't know what kind of consequences he would bring to future generations if he did this, but Li Zhan hoped that his preservation would let the world know the charm of Tang culture.

Just when Li Zhan was working hard to preserve the Tang culture.

A very tragic thing happened in Gaochang, thousands of miles away.

This is Illino with yellow sand... In the early morning of this day, a combined army of about 30,000 hit... Leading the team was the king of Gaochang Ko Wentai and the Western Turk general Shamler.

20,000 cavalry of the Western Turks and 10,000 cavalry of Gaochang attacked Yizhou.

You must know that Gaochang is a country with a majority of Han people, during the Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, Gaochang has been actively moving closer to the Central Plains, holding high the national policy of the Chinese in the world, and even sent troops to participate in the military operations of the Sui Dynasty to attack Goguryeo when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

In 626 AD, Gaochang King Lu Wentai simply went to Chang'an to meet Li Shimin, wanting to get close to the Tang Dynasty.

Gaochang Wang Lu Wentai is not an ordinary person, he has ambitions and wants to dominate the Western Regions, so he positions himself as a "geopolitician", and according to Internet terms, he is a "rhythmic".

At that time, the meeting between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks on the establishment of a "G2" in East Asia collapsed, and both sides were swearing and trying to accumulate strength and prepare for a decisive battle that would determine the fortunes of the country.

Sandwiched between the two superpowers, Lu Wentai feels that he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is exquisite, so today he is honored as the eldest brother of the Tang Dynasty, and tomorrow he will shout Lao Tie with his arms around the Turks.

But Lu Wentai used too much force, and after a long time, not only did no one get a good idea, but it disgusted both sides.

If you offend one superpower, the end will be the death of the country and the destruction of the country, and if you offend two superpowers at the same time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So the rhythm master Ko Wentai threw himself into the arms of the Western Turks, because Ko Wentai thought that the Tang Dynasty was too far away from him, and the Datang might not really fight Gaochang, but the Western Turks were too close to him, and it was the best way to take refuge in the Western Turks.

What's more, there is meat to eat behind the Western Turks, just like today, when the Western Turks hit Yizhou, then you can eat meat after you.

"Kill...!" Shouting and killing shook the sky.

There are only 1,000 defenders in the city of Yizhou, and the leading general is called Quan Yu... Looking at the siege of 30,000 people below, Quan Yu knew that there was no way to live, so he quickly made a decision, opened a city gate to let the people in the city leave, and a thousand Tang soldiers fought to the death in Yizhou.

Only one twelve-year-old soldier was released to report back to the sandbank.

That battle was really tragic, a thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were killed, from the top generals to the horsemen who fed the horses, no one fled.

These 1,000 people have bought nearly three hours of escape time for the people of Yizhou, although Yizhou was still defeated, but these 1,000 people have bought enough time for the people of Datang to evacuate.

It also bought time for the back sandbar to defend, and then it was because I was worried that the sandbar had been defended, so the Western Turks and Gaochang only robbed Yizhou, and then returned with a full load, and did not continue to go deeper.

Half a month later, a piece of paper entered Chang'an, and Li Shimin's Ganlu Hall roared... At this point, the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Gaochang was officially launched.
