Literature and art are swinging gracefully in the small courtyard of the palace, but there are torrents in Chang'an City, and all major families are secretly transporting family property to Chang'an, preparing to win the printing technology in one fell swoop during the winter solstice! The innocent list of the output and cost of the printing house made them crazy, and the manager of the printing house was also very generous, no matter who asked about printing, he explained it in detail, which can be described as extremely intimate. Moreover, the eldest son of Sun Wuji, the first strategist of the Qin Palace, and Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of the Demon King of the Mixed World, and others, under the bribes of some well-intentioned people, told all the processes and rules of the Qin Palace's preparation for auction. The reserve price of 100,000 yuan directly made those small families lose their minds, and those big families were even more confident, and a large amount of money was used to bribe the people of the Qin Wangfu and so on, just to get the latest inside information. Li Shimin's management ability is indeed very strong, and the servants and generals are all extremely loyal, and the leaked news is all false information deliberately created by them. Let one by one make a lot of money.

The winter solstice is approaching in a flash, Li Shimin sent people to wrap up the entire garden in the peony garden, but only sent ten servants to guard it, there is a small pavilion in the middle of the garden, and a wooden box is placed in it, and there is nothing else. For everyone who came here, the servants first served a cup of hot water, and then gave an envelope and paper, all of which were made smooth and white by the new paper-making process, so that the people who came were reluctant to vote, thinking that the paper could be produced by themselves in the future, and still wrote the auction price in what they thought was the most beautiful calligraphy. Holding the written vote, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that my words were so ugly, and I gritted my teeth and asked for another one, and I was slightly satisfied with writing a bigger number. Put it in the envelope, put it in the wooden box and turn away. As soon as he left the garden, he hurriedly sent his servants to bring the money, and immediately went to the 'leaker' who had just become familiar with the palace of King Qin to inquire about the news.

Three days later, the wooden box was full, and under the personal supervision of Li Shimin, the strategists opened the envelope and voted one by one, and the numbers inside were shocking. There is no one less than 200,000 guan, and when the statistics are completed, the best amount is actually Qufu Kong's, as high as 600,000 guan, which is 200,000 guan higher than the second place Qinghe Cui's family. The tenth place is Fan Yang Lu's family, with a bid of 300,000 yuan.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly when he saw the name of the first, turned his head and asked Kong Yingda: "Zhongda, your family is a scholarly family, cultivating and reading heirlooms, how did you come to such a huge sum?" ”

Kong Yingda smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, my family really can't afford to make much money, and I want to participate in the auction this time so that everyone in the world can afford to read." However, the head of the family said that although my family can only come up with 50,000 yuan, we will sell our property as soon as possible and make up 600,000 yuan as soon as possible to hand it over to His Highness. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Zhongda, you see, except for your family, there are a total of 3.2 million yuan, these families are the goal of this king, you go back and tell your master: the Confucian family has educated all the people, the merits are immeasurable, and the existing new printing technology and papermaking technology must be urgently needed by the Confucian family, and the people of the world should give it away." Money is out of business. ”

Kong Yingda was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "The lower official has thanked His Royal Highness for his great kindness on behalf of the head of the family!" ”

The situation of the Confucian family is special, all the scholars in the world are from Confucianism, so they all respect the Confucian saint as their ancestors, and the Confucian family has a high status in the hearts of the scholars. This time, I can take advantage of this matter to make friends with the Kong family. In addition to the Kong family, Li Shimin, another family, is ready to be ruthless. First write the name of the winning family on the two-meter red silk, and then send people to beat gongs and drums to unfold the red silk parade around Chang'an for three days, so that everyone knows which families won the bid this time and how much money they have made. He also said how these families sacrificed themselves for others and donated a lot of money just to let more people go to school. The Confucian family immediately came forward to say that they would print 50,000 sets of "Analects" for the children of the poor families in the world to borrow, and the Qin Wangfu said that it would print 50,000 sets of "Shuowen Jie Zi" on behalf of the royal family and distribute them to readers all over the world for free, and donate all the proceeds from the auction to His Majesty for the construction of schools throughout the country.

Those who got the printing technology could only swallow their teeth, and they all said that they would print tens of thousands of books for free for people all over the world to borrow. For a time, the whole country of Datang celebrated, and the children of the poor family burst into tears and celebrated with their crowns. Although this move has made the nine families gain some fame, but the biggest beneficiary is Li Yuan, who not only obtained more than three million yuan of money out of thin air, but also gained a lot of prestige, and now Dou Jiande, Wang Xuanying (Wang Shichong's son, called the emperor after Wang Shichong was captured) and other forces of the Hanmen scholars are fluctuating, and the scholars who are all in the Tang Dynasty have begun to look for ways to go to the paradise of scholars - Datang. And Dou Jiande and they have no choice, although Li Shimin announced the technology of the printing press, but strictly ordered it to flow out of the Tang Dynasty, once it is found that the whole door is copied and beheaded, it will not be tolerated. As a result, those families could only print and sell books openly in Datang, and only a few books flowed out of Datang.

And the originally solid princely alliance collapsed in an instant, and it was originally said that everyone wrote 100,000 guan to put pressure on Li Shimin, but who knew that the kung fu had changed when he turned around, and no one wrote 100,000 guan. It turned out that those families who did not win the bid were still accusing the nine families who won the bid, and I don't know whose servants actually spent ten yuan to buy the bidding orders of the various families participating in the auction from a slave who specially poured night incense for Li Shimin. The head of the house directly slapped the list on the face of the guy who screamed the most, and a scuffle between the heads of the house started in the East Palace...

Li Shimin almost laughed when he heard the news, and said bluntly, "Xiaoyi chicken thief, not a righteous gentleman~"

On this day, the Qin Palace's mansion was happily spent in laughter.

The matter of printing was still over, and those who had not eaten meat began to focus on papermaking with red eyes. At this time, the latest rumors came from Qin Wangfu: all the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether they are families or wealthy businessmen, want to learn papermaking and sell it at a uniform price of 100,000 yuan, and Qin Wangfu is responsible for the technical guidance and paid construction of the paper mill.

For a while, everyone shouted King Qin's atmosphere! King Qin's prestige rose again, and the prince, who was about to drop to freezing, directly into the Mariana Trench, and it was difficult to turn over! I heard that the prince has broken hundreds of beloved vases for this.

Seeing that the New Year was about to be celebrated, Wenyi resigned to Li Shimin and prepared to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year with Uncle Bolt's family. The battle with Wang Shichong made the rest of the forces frightened, and they did not dare to start a war with Datang easily. Now that Zheng Guo has begun to fall apart, it is only a matter of time before he leaves the country. Li Shimin wanted to take this opportunity to go to literature and art to have a look when he was free, he was very curious about how many strange treasures there were in literature and art, and it would be perfect if he could get a few back.

The two of them took a carriage and took five hundred guards and set out on the road. This time, Shu'er was surprisingly obedient, and she didn't shout that she was going too, but obediently stood next to the eldest grandson to see the two leave. Li Shimin saw it in his eyes, his expression was a little complicated, and when the two of them got into the carriage, he said, "Xiaoyi, you will be thirteen in the coming year, right?" Can you book a family affair? ”

Wenyi said embarrassedly: "The boy has no father and no mother, and he has not yet decided to marry." ”

Li Shimin said: "The princess told me that Shu'er seems to like being with you very much, why don't you make a family appointment with Shu'er?" ”

Literary and artistic embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Shu'er is only eight years old, how can she understand the love of men and women?" The kid is still young, so it is not advisable to marry too early, why don't you wait until we are older? ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, when you are eighteen years old, how about if you don't have a girl you like and make a marriage contract with Shu'er?" ”

Literature and art also like Shu'er, but that thing, my brother's liking for my sister is not love, and I refuse to be love, Shu'er is only eight years old, and bean sprouts are not counted. He has always looked at the love between men and women very lightly, let alone love in his previous life, and he didn't even have a good girl. So he arched his hand to Li Shimin and said, "It will be according to His Highness's wishes." ”

Li Shimin was even more happy, chatting with literature and art enthusiastically.

Halfway through, he suddenly heard a commotion from behind, Li Shimin was slightly displeased and got out of the car to take a look, after all, his personal guards were all well-trained warriors, and it was impossible for military discipline to be lax.

Wenyi was also very curious and followed, and as soon as he got closer, he saw Cheng Biting Jin scolding the two hairy boys, and patted them twice with his hands from time to time, Li Shimin was happy when he saw it, and quickly pulled Cheng Biting Jin and said: "Zhijie, and stop first, why did these two boys follow?" ”

Literature and art are also a little strange, one he knows, that is, Cheng Yanjin's eldest son Cheng Chumo, and there is a stronger and darker one that he has never seen, but he feels familiar. This is Cheng Yanjin said angrily: "Back to Your Highness, the eldest son of the dog and the Wei Chi family want to join the army, but I and Wei Chi are too young to agree, I don't know that you are going out of the city, so I want to come over to intercede with you." Sneaking out of the house didn't bring a single guard, nor did he bring dry food. I fell far behind for a day, and I was hungry until now, and I couldn't stand it anymore so I caught up with the guards to ask for food, and I found out. ”

Literature and art suddenly realized, it turned out that this black charcoal head was Yu Chi Baolin. No wonder it looks familiar, it's carved out of the same mold as Wei Chi Jingde.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Come here, two boys, do you know the danger of marching and fighting?" Want to play with knives before the hair grows? Go back quickly, and come back to this king in a few years, and this king will definitely arrange for you. Tell me about the two of you little ones thinking about joining the army. ”

Cheng Chumo saw that his father was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he didn't dare to speak, so he could only stab Yu Chi Baolin, who wiped the snot and tears on his face and said: "We heard the book say that 'the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people', our father is a great hero who stands up to the sky, and we must also be heroes and do our duty for the country!" ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't seem to have heard the phrase "the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people". When he was thinking about it, Wenyi smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness, this word was passed on by the boy, when I met a pair of hard-working grandchildren in Meixian County, the old man's name was 'King of Fast Mouth' is a storyteller, and by chance, the boy told him a "Legend of the Condor Heroes", wanting him to make more money with it. Somehow, it spread to Chang'an. This sentence is the true portrayal of the hero Guo Jing in it. ”

Li Shimin was curious, so he asked the reason. Literature and art briefly talked about it, and did not tell him that he wanted to use this to guide the rangers to establish beliefs and create the rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty.
