In the afternoon, Wenyi drove more than 300 kilometers, passing Baoji to the direction of Tianshui, avoiding pedestrians along the way, and driving in a barren place. At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it was near Qingshui County. Wen Si went to ask for directions and learned that he had arrived in Qingshui County, and was surprised. hurriedly came back to report: "Young master, we have arrived in Qingshui County." ”

Wen Yi nodded and said: "Wen 2 and Wen 3 are responsible for checking the situation of the vehicle and making records, and Wen 1 and Wen 4 are going to hunt a few rabbits and make a fire to cook." "Each of them began to get busy.

After they were full of wine and food, Literature and Art took them all the way back. The tungsten light is too bad to see too far, and this time it is slower. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I could reach "hope". The rest of the men stood at the door one by one, anxiously waiting for them to come back, and when they saw the lights from far and near, they shouted in celebration, after all, the car was a fairy treasure to them. These treasures are from their hands, how can they not be excited about the success of the test?

Wenyi followed them for a while and ordered them all to rest, and returned to the village tomorrow to continue the celebration.

There were unforeseen circumstances, and when they happily returned to Crooked Willow Village, they saw the eldest grandson Wuji standing anxiously pacing in the courtyard. Wenyi stepped forward and saluted: "The boy has seen Uncle Changsun. ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji saw Wenyi hurriedly coming up, he pulled Wenyi and walked out, and said: "Xiaoyi, something happened, I moved the printing house to Chang'an, who knew that it was burned down by someone as soon as I moved over." "Wenyi was a little confused, I came back too late last night, and I was going to go home to make up for sleep, but who knew that I was pulled into the carriage by the eldest grandson as soon as I got home. That's how it happened:

It turned out that in order to promote the promotion of "A Thousand Golden Fangs" as soon as possible, Li Shimin worked overtime to print books, but he was inquired that he could print 50,000 copies a day, which was unimaginable in this era. The families began to panic, and the popularity of "Qianjinfang" had no impact on them, but if educational books such as "Analects" and "After Saying and Interpreting Words" were printed in large quantities, it would be a devastating blow to the status of their families. Therefore, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji moved the printing house to Chang'an, it was completely destroyed. It has not yet been found out, but the eldest grandson Wuji speculates that it should be Li Jiancheng's subordinate. This time, I came to call it Wenyi because all the craftsmen who could repair the production machines in the printing house were killed. Li Shimin's subordinates no longer had craftsmen who knew how to make printing presses, so Wenyi hurried over to speed up the restoration of the printing plant.

The paper mill was not destroyed because the family wanted to monopolize the new paper and was negotiating with Li Shimin, and the destruction of the printing plant was also a warning to Li Shimin.

Wenyi sat in the carriage and thought about countermeasures while recovering his spirits, after all, he couldn't bear to stay up in the middle of the night. After the eldest grandson Wuji finished talking about the cause and effect, he saw that he was in high spirits, and he also closed his mouth and stopped talking.

When I arrived at the Qin Palace, the literary and artistic spirit was much better. went straight to Li Shimin's study, and after seeing Li Shimin, he saluted first. Li Shimin's originally depressed face put on a smile the moment he saw literature and art, and said: "Xiaoyi, you are here, this king has been waiting for you for several days, and the printing house cannot be built without you." ”

Wenyi smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't panic, this kid has already thought about it, it is easy to build a printing house, but the difficulty is how to prevent people with ill intentions from destroying it again." ”

Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyi has paid attention?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "Your Highness, the kid has some suggestions. What is the purpose of building a printing plant and a paper mill? It is so that the people can afford to read and write. So why do we have to keep the technology of paper mills and printing houses in our hands? When all of them are announced, some of those families who want to block paper and books will inevitably set up their own paper mills and printing houses with their own selfish desires, and with the capabilities of existing technology, they will not be able to completely digest the paper they produce internally, and they will definitely take out some of it and sell it on the market. At that time, there will definitely be a gap between their families, and then we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and we can also borrow their hands to complete the promotion of paper and books. ”

Li Shimin thought for a long time and said: "It's not appropriate, what if they reach a consensus and resist unanimously?" Also, now that the books are all locked inside the Maison, it is impossible for them to print them for sale. ”

Literature and Art said: "First, human nature is greedy, as long as we release rumors about the profits of papermaking and printing, on the surface they may unanimously resist, but behind the scenes, they will definitely build paper or printing workshops privately." Second, the boy met a storyteller not long ago, and got some inspiration from him, so that we can guide the people's public opinion and make up some stories for the people to support those who are willing to print books, and dislike those who are unwilling to print, and when the time comes, they will be forced to print books under pressure to maintain the reputation of their own family. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while before saying: "The profits of paper and books are indeed attractive, and this king's reluctance to hand them over is also for this reason, but after listening to your analysis, I feel that this king is indeed a little petty, and this king is not short of money, as long as the goal is achieved." I don't know if Xiaoyi has a specific plan? ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "First of all, let's let out the wind and say: the technology and profits of papermaking and printing, but not fully announced, printing will be handed over to each of the big families." Papermaking will be announced in the form of a secret auction, that is, everyone who wants to obtain papermaking can send an offer to the house within a certain period of time, and the highest bidder will get a total of twenty places. We don't announce the list of winning bids, and when they build the paper mill, there will be internal contradictions, and we can operate well. ”

Li Shimin patted his thigh and said: "This method is feasible, this king is here to invite people to come and discuss." He shouted to the outside world: "Quickly invite the auxiliary machine, Fang Xuanling and others to come to the study to discuss matters." ”

In a moment, everyone gathered. Li Shimin retold the idea of literature and art, and everyone thought quietly for a while, and Du Ruhui said: "This method can be tried, and the specific matters need to be arranged in detail." Just when everyone was discussing fiercely, a sergeant suddenly rushed in from outside, knelt down on one knee and reported loudly: "King Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince failed in the crusade against Wang Shichong, lost his troops and lost his generals, and has now retreated to Yucheng." His Majesty ordered the King of Qin to lead 20,000 horses to support quickly. ”

Everyone was shocked, Li Shimin clenched his fists, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Drum and gather generals!" ”

Literature and art slipped out of the study very interestingly, he didn't want to participate in the military now, and besides, Li Shimin was a military genius, how could he compare with him as a hairy boy who had never been on the battlefield?

Wenyi went to Shu'er to see what the girl was doing now, and promised her that she would bring her a gift last time, but she was dragged by the eldest grandson Wuji, and she didn't prepare anything, so she hurried to apologize to her, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble she will make.

When I arrived at Shu'er's small courtyard, Shu'er sat in the courtyard and embroidered carefully, quiet as everyone was beautiful. Wenyi was very surprised, he had never seen Shu'er and a quiet side, in his heart, Shu'er was like a spoiled girl in later generations, eccentric, naughty and willful. stopped the milk tea salute, quietly walked to Shu'er and sat down, only to find that she was showing off a small lotus flower. couldn't help asking, "Shu'er, who are you embroidering for?" ”

Shu'er was startled, raised her head and saw that it was literature and art, she was surprised and ashamed, she raised her little fist and hit Wenyi twice, and then raised the lotus flower and said, "It's beautiful, right?" My aunt is going to give birth to a younger brother for me, and I'm going to embroider a small belly pocket for him. What do you have in store? And what about my gifts? I won't be told when I come. It's annoying. ”

Wenyi touched his nose and said, "This time, I meditated for three days and three nights to prepare a story for you as a gift, okay?" ”

Shu'er became interested and urged, "Tell me about it." ”

Literature and Art took out "The Legend of the White Snake" to perfunctory her, sure enough, no woman can resist the beautiful love, and in the end, Shu'er was already crying silently, and she wanted Literature and Art to take her to Hangzhou West Lake to rescue the White Lady under the Leifeng Tower. made the literature and art scramble and hurriedly explained that this was just a story, and it couldn't be taken seriously. asked Xiaomi to put "once in a thousand years" to comfort Shu'er, but Shu'er cried again...... Literature and art had no choice but to hug their heads and run away.

Not long after returning to the guest room, the eldest grandson Wuji came to Wenyi and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin has gone to prepare for military affairs, and he will go on an expedition tomorrow." Before leaving, I will ask you to take full responsibility for paper and printing. I'll be there to help. ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "Uncle Changsun, then you can send someone to spread rumors now, just say that we are going to publish all the technologies of papermaking and printing in order to let the people of the world read and write." Your Majesty also asked Uncle Changsun to explain. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is gone, and when Wenyi is bored in the guest room, he is ready to make some baby products for Li Chengqian, who is about to be born, to pass the time.

In two days, Wenyi made a baby walker, a baby stroller and a cradle. Shu'er was very happy to see it, and she had to try it one by one, and her reputation said: "Is it good to try it for my brother." Her eighteen-year-old girl sat in the stroller and let Wenyi push her around.

Literature and art were helpless, so he asked Qin Wu and Milk Tea to move the rest to the princess, and he pushed Shu'er to follow behind. The next person went in to inform the princess, and Wenyi brought gifts to visit the princess. The eldest grandson walked out of the house with a big belly and was supported by the maid, and when he saw Shu'er huddled up and sitting in a small car, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Girl, what a big person, still so naughty, hurry down, don't be ashamed." ”

Shu'er obediently got off the stroller and came to the eldest grandson, took her hand and said coquettishly: "Uncle, Wenyi has made a lot of interesting things for my younger brother, take a look." "Don't wait for literature and art to speak, let's explain these things to the eldest grandson.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson smiled and said to Wenyi: "I'm tired of Xiaoyi, these things are really good, I like them very much." After saying that, he ordered someone to accept these gifts, and took Shu'er and Wenyi to the living room to sit down. Touching Shu'er's head dotingly, he said, "Shu'er, this child is spoiled by King Qin and me, please don't be surprised by some rudeness." ”

Wenyi smiled and said: "The princess said that she laughed, Shu'er is eccentric and very likable, how can I see it." ”

The eldest grandson rolled his eyes, and joked half-truthfully: "Shu'er is eight years old, and she hasn't decided yet, I think Xiaoyi and Shu'er are quite compatible, why don't you marry Shu'er to you?" ”
