Literature and Art said: "It is not difficult to print enough atlases, the boy can do it, if you want to spread it, you have to borrow the power of the government, and you should be able to make a statement to Your Majesty in your name." Although the people are illiterate, there are so many people in the world who read that it is much more convenient for the people to find a reader than to find Langzhong. With the addition of diagrams, it should work. ”

Sun Simiao looked at Wenyi with burning eyes and said, "Xiaoyi, do you know how much money it takes to print such a huge number of books?" You take it for granted. ”

Wenyi smiled and said: "Nowadays, books are all engraving printing, and the paper is expensive, so the price of books remains high. But the boy figured out a new set of printing and paper-making techniques, which could reduce the current price of paper to about 100 sheets. Isn't that the problem solved? ”

Sun Simiao was surprised: "Really? ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "Grandpa Sun, do you think, now the engraving is carved together as a whole, if there is a mistake, it will be destroyed and restarted, what if every word is disassembled and carved?" Wouldn't it be convenient to make a mold, select the words that need to be used, put them in the mold, and then print them on paper? ”

Sun Simiao thought for a while and said, "This method is feasible. Without further ado, the poor road began to be sorted out. ”

Wenyi said: "Grandpa Sun, I am fortunate to know His Royal Highness King Qin. You stay at my house for a few more days, sort out the prescription well, and the kid will go to His Royal Highness King Qin to discuss this matter. King Qin is benevolent and should agree to this. ”

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "Yes, you be careful on the road, go and go back quickly, I will live in your house recently." ”

Wenyi agreed and went to the ox cart, put the revolver and bullets to Li Shimin, remembered the quirky little girl, and took the music box that she had nothing to do, and explained that the stone served Sun Simiao well at home, and drove the ox cart straight to Chang'an.

Literature and art entered Chang'an, and rushed straight to the Qin Palace. informed the guards of the palace of his name, and after a while, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, strode out of it, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, you are here, this king misses it very much." ”

Wenyi hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, I came here today to ask for something, and I hope Your Highness will agree." ”

Li Shimin grabbed his hand and dragged it into the house, saying: "Xiaoyi, why should you be so polite, if you need the help of this king, just say it, this king will help you do it." ”

When the two of them entered the living room to divide the host and guest, Wenyi said: "Your Highness, the kid went into the mountains to collect medicine a few days ago, and met Sun Simiao, so he invited him to the house as a guest. When Grandpa Sun and the boy were discussing medical skills, they mentioned that they wanted to print the diagnosis and treatment methods and types of medicines for some common diseases to spread throughout the country, and now Grandpa Sun is sorting out the prescriptions at home, and the boy came to ask His Royal Highness to help print and distribute them all over the world. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Xiaoyi, it is a blessing that you can meet Doctor Sun, but do you know how much money it costs to popularize the whole country?" I can't do it even with all my might. ”

Wenyi said: "The kid has a new style of printing and papermaking, and he wants to dedicate it to His Highness, and I hope His Highness will accept it with a smile." ”

Li Shimin was surprised: "What is the difference between your new printing and papermaking technology and the current one?" ”

Wen Yi replied: "Your Highness, the boy's new printing technique does not need engraving, as long as the typesetting is sufficient, and papermaking can make paper of better quality than most papers on the market, and the cost should be reduced to about 100 sheets and ten cents." ”

Li Shimin Huo Ran got up and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoyi, this matter is very important, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Wenyi also stood up and saluted: "The kid's words are true, don't dare to deceive." ”

Li Shimin deserved to be a natural superior, so he immediately controlled his emotions, sat down again and said, "This king needs to discuss, Xiaoyi, you go to the wing room to rest first." ”

Wenyi saluted Li Shimin again and followed the servant to the wing room to rest.

Li Shimin immediately ordered people to invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji and other strategists, and discussed secretly for a long time until sunset, and then called literature and art to the council room. Li Shimin said directly: "Xiaoyi, this king has decided to support this matter, tomorrow, this king will return with you, and this king will personally deal with this matter." ”

Literature and art were overjoyed, and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness!" The kid can't be more grateful! ”

Everyone dispersed, literature and art were delayed to the end, and seeing that only he and Li Shimin were left, he said to Li Shimin: "The kid has another thing to trouble His Highness when he comes this time." ”

Li Shimin said generously: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Literature and art looked at the servants and maids. Li Shimin understood and waved them down. Only then did Wenyi take out the **** of the new work from his arms and hand it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin played with curiosity for a while and asked, "What is this?" So weird? ”

Wenyi took out the bullet and loaded it into **, and said to Li Shimin: "This is the unique secret weapon of the boy's master, called '****'." It can fire 6 bullets in a row, and there are no missed bullets within 50 steps, and those who hit it within 100 steps are killed! ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened and he was surprised: "Quickly demonstrate it to this king." ”

Wenyi nodded, took the revolver and put the ** on, looked at the rockery outside the door and said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, please look at the little tree on the rockery." "Literature and art aimed at a small tree is a shot. The small tree broke in response, and a large piece of the stone on the rockery was broken.

Li Shimin waved away the guards who came to protect him for unknown reasons, took the revolver and said to Wenyi: "This is indeed a good weapon." It can be carried around, the power is extraordinary, I wonder if it can be manufactured in large quantities? ”

Wenyi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, this thing is only suitable for self-defense, not for combat, and the range is too close." And the bullets are very difficult to make, the cost is extremely high, and the kid only made a hundred rounds. If the mass production costs a lot, and it will be troublesome if someone gets it and hurts himself, so the kid suggested that His Highness use it himself. ”

Li Shimin nodded a little disappointed, and said, "It's okay, with this thing, it's much safer." You want to give it to me? ”

Wenyi said: "Exactly, the kid wants to dedicate this thing to His Highness." The boy likes to make some strange things, but there are no reliable manpower now, and I would like to ask His Highness to arrange some loyal people to assist the boy. ”

Li Shimin thought to himself: Good boy, if you are so relieved of me, he is not afraid that this king will take away his treasure? Anyway, if you treat me with integrity, I will not be disappointed. said: "Okay, I will bring fifty absolutely loyal generals this time, and I will leave them all to you at that time, I don't know if it is enough?" ”

Literature and art were overjoyed, and the chick nodded vigorously like a rice peck and said, "Enough, enough." ”

Li Shimin immediately issued countless orders, anxious about all the craftsmen in the mansion, as well as all kinds of tools and materials. Literature and art went to give gifts to the little girl Shu'er. The little girl was having a lot of fun with the music box, and when she heard that Li Shimin was going to his house, she hurried to find Li Shimin to roll around, saying that she would go together, Li Shimin was helpless, so she agreed to take her.

The next day, he led 500 people to return to Crooked Willow Village with Wenyi. He was accompanied by his eldest grandson Wuji, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin and other cronies. The literary ox cart was handed over to the logistics battalion, and Li Shimin personally found him a docile war horse to teach him how to ride. After arriving home in just two days, Li Shimin asked the army to be stationed outside the village, and he only brought a few people including the eldest grandson Wuji into the village. Seeing Li Shimin, Fang Sanye's legs trembled with fright, and he saluted tremblingly, Li Shimin hurriedly supported him and said: "My husband doesn't have to be polite, this king is just invited by Xiaoyi to be a guest, and he is more disturbing, and he hopes to atone for his sins." ”

Fang Sanye said bluntly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." He hurriedly stepped aside. Sun Simiao had already heard the movement and stood at the door to greet him. Li Shimin stepped forward and saluted and said, "Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has seen Sun Shenxian!" ”

Sun Simiao returned the salute with a smile: "Poor Dao has seen King Qin, please inside." ”

A few people entered the courtyard, and wanted to go into the house to talk, but found that the house was too small to accommodate everyone, so they had to sit in the courtyard, and the chairs were borrowed from Uncle Zhuzi and Fang Sanye's house to get together, which made Wenyi stand on the side and keep touching his nose, which was quite embarrassing.

Li Shimin sat down and said to everyone: "The last time I met Xiaoyi, this king wanted to invite him to be a court painter and enjoy the glory and wealth." But he cared for the people, and was reluctant that the villagers here had no one to heal, so he decisively rejected the king. I don't want Xiaoyi's life to be so simple. ”

Wenyi smiled: "People, a bed and a mouthful of food are enough, and the extra will only make people greedy, the family teacher once made a loose poem, and the words were slightly disrespectful, and asked His Royal Highness to atone for his sins." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Master Ling is a senior master, and there must be good words of gold and jade, and this king will listen to him." ”

Literature and art slowly read out a loose song "Ten Deficiencies" written by Zhu Zaiyu in the Ming Dynasty:

Rushing all day long is only for hunger, so that you have food and clothing.

Put Aya Luo on her body, and look up and think the house is low.

built tall buildings and mansions, but there were few beautiful wives in front of the bed.

The beautiful wives and concubines are all married, and they are worried that they will not have a horse to ride when they go out.

Buy the money to buy the high-headed horse, and follow the horse before and after.

The family recruited dozens of them, and they were bullied because they were rich and powerless.

Yiquan reached the county position, and said that the official was small and low.

As soon as you climb to the old position, you will be enthroned every day.

One day, he sat in the south and wanted the gods to play chess.

Dongbin played chess with him, and asked where the ladder was.

The ladder to the sky was not done, and the king of Hades dealt cards to urge him.

If it weren't for this person's big limit, it would be too low to go up to the sky.

After listening to this, Li Shimin was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Ling Shi is a great talent, every word is beautiful, and it shows that people's hearts are ugly, and this king has been taught." ”

Wenyi was afraid that Li Shimin would think that he was satirizing himself, so he hurriedly continued: "Your Highness, people stand at different heights, and they look at things from different angles, sometimes it is not what they want to do, but they have to do it, which is different. ”

Li Shimin couldn't hear the meaning of his words, nodded with a smile and said, "Let's not gossip first, let's discuss serious matters first." ”

Sun Simiao said: "Poor Dao has been sorting out the diagnosis and treatment methods of common diseases recently, and there is a rough idea, which can be completed in just a few days. In terms of printing, King Qin and Xiaoyi need to pay more attention. ”

Wen Yi continued: "The boy immediately began to teach the craftsmen how to make new typography and papermaking, and the materials needed were sufficient, that is, the branches and leaves of the trees. It's just that the site needs to be larger, and His Highness needs to send someone to help collect materials and clear the open space. ”

Li Shimin said: "No problem, I came to bring 500 cronies this time, and you can tell you to do so." ”

After the division of labor, everyone began to get busy. Literature and art first asked craftsmen to prepare clay, dyes and other materials. There were drawings of new paper machines for the carpenters, and they were asked to figure it out for themselves, and then they came back to him if they had problems. When drawing drawings, he also kept an eye on it, not using the standard three-view drawing method, but the three-dimensional view with the size of the drawing method, he was afraid that it would be bad for someone to see that the Quyuan plough came from his hands.
