Just do it, Li Mu asked Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu to go to the Ministry of Industry and Zhongshu Province respectively, and found Bi Laosan and Tang Guan.

The current Datang Daily is systematically divided into two parts. Part of it is in Zhongshu Province, which is written by Tang Guan, and Zhongshu Province is responsible for review and supervision, which belongs to the type of 'official release'. And such as advertisements, stories, and lace news, it is still up to the Hou Mansion to have the final say. Bi Laosan, only responsible for printing. Every day, before the sun sets, the content that needs to be printed will be provided to Bi Laosan, and at night, it is the time for the printing supervisors and craftsmen to work.

Li Mu hadn't intervened in the affairs of Datang Daily for a long time, and if it weren't for Wang Ou's mention of advertising today, he might not have remembered it. But now that I think about it, it is logical to integrate it and establish Datang Daily.

Integration was a very simple matter, as the Printing Supervisor had moved to the Craftsman's Workshop. Bi Laosan is also an official of the Ministry of Works, and when Li Muxian was printing technology, he proposed to set up a printing supervisor, which has now been officially incorporated into the official system of the Ministry of Industry.

Moved to the craftsman's workshop, the printing supervisor expanded the scale, and recruited more than a dozen people. Bi Laosan now has twenty people under his hands, and he is the largest in the one acre and three points of land in the printing supervisor. Arranging things every day and teaching skills, naturally formed a kind of high-level bearing, and now Bi Laosan is no longer the only way he used to be, and he has a little official authority, but this refers to the face of the craftsmen, when he comes to Li Mu, he doesn't dare to be arrogant at all.

For people like Bi Laosan, what Li Mu has changed is their fate. This is 'en', and they are both craftsmen, and the longer they follow Li Mu, the more they realize how powerful Li Mu is. In this era of self-cherishment, it is not easy for ordinary people to learn a craft and master it. And Li Mu, he can do almost anything. He knew how to carpenter, how to carpenter, how to carve, how to strike iron, and the two foxes at the door of the Ministry of Works' official office were also chiseled out by his own hands.

The Ministry of Industry brings together craftsmen from all over the world, and they have all kinds of crafts, but they can't find one that Li Mu can't. It was as if he could learn and master all the arts at a glance.

The most frightening thing is that Li Mu never makes mistakes.

There is a way for laymen to see the liveliness, and insiders to see the doorway. Craftsmen know how hard it is to make two things exactly the same, almost impossible. But everything that comes out of Li Mu's hands is all above the same level. The two raccoon dogs at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry are an example, with a chisel and a chisel, they can be chiseled exactly the same, what kind of monster is this?

Part of the Ministry of Industry's respect for Li Mu also started from this. Everyone has something to be proud of, and what craftsmen are proud of is naturally their craft. When there is a person who has achieved a level that you can't achieve in your entire life, admiration will naturally arise.

Tang Guan is the same.

Originally, he was not convinced by Li Mu, otherwise he would not have deliberately made it bad and provoked Kong Yingda to find trouble with Li Mu. But after going through a lot of things, he has turned into a complete little fan, and what Li Mu said is like a holy decree to him.

When he heard Li Mu say that he would set up a Datang Daily office near the official office of the Ministry of Industry and expand the scale, Tang Guan suddenly came to his senses and said excitedly: "Big brother, I agree with this proposal!" You don't know how difficult it is for me to work hard to maintain Datang Daily alone! From writing to proofreading, I do it all by myself. Hate those masters in the Hongwen Pavilion in the past, and still say that they don't learn and don't have skills? How many students like me do they teach who 'don't learn and don't know'? ”

The eldest grandson Chong couldn't listen anymore beside him, and said, "Tang Guan, I have heard of your reputation in the Chongwen Pavilion. Among the students of Hongwenkan, you have always been at the bottom, right? If it weren't for your fate, there is such a brother, I think you ......"

Tang looked at Changsun Chong and wanted to ridicule him, but reason told him that he was a son, and he was just a son. The status is too different, if his eldest brother is here, he may be able to reason with Changsun Chong, but what about him...... It's a little bit off. Otherwise, why is it that people are reading Chongwen Hall, and he is Hongwen Hall?

"Smack!"

Li Mu suddenly slapped the table, startling the two of them.

"Eldest Sun Chong! Do you dare to call my little brother? I'm telling you! What my little brother just said is not wrong at all! He is now a talent, a talent that exceeds the average Hongbunkan student by a hundred times! What is the use of reading well? Do you have to apply what you've learned, do you understand? If you study with books, you may not be able to become an official. My little brother is now the royal front of the nine pins, are you? Where do you stand? ”

"I ......" Changsun Chong wanted to say, I don't want to be an official, if I want to be an official, just by virtue of my family background, I have to start at least from a six-rank official! But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Mu: "What are you?" You dead fat man, if you weren't the son of Zhao Guogong, you would be a waste! ”

"I'm not a trash!" No matter how good Changsun Chong's temper is, he has to be anxious to be called a waste, and he glared and said, "You don't want to accept me as an apprentice, and you can't insult me, right?" How am I a waste? ”

Li Mu sneered and said, "Okay, tell me, aside from the identity of the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, what is left of everything you have now?" ”

"I ......" Changsun Chong was a little confused, for a while, he really couldn't think of anything.

"The world honors you and treats you with courtesy, just as I am to speak to you patiently, in the face of your father. If you weren't the prince of Zhao Guogong, I would have beaten you a long time ago just because you followed me endlessly. Don't you have any points in your heart? ”

The eldest grandson opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He couldn't stand such an insult anymore and got up to leave.

"Stop!"

Changsun Chong stood still, but did not look back, his voice was a little choked, and said, "You have already degraded me like mud, what are you going to say ugly?" ”

"You misunderstood me, I'm not denigrating you, I'm telling you a fact. My real intention is to inspire you and make you a talent. Do you want to live in this world, and the greatest achievement is to inherit your father's title a hundred years from now? Don't you want to leave a mark in the history books? ”

The eldest grandson was stunned, and everyone who heard this sentence was a little stunned.

Li Mu continued: "I have done it! Zhenguan plough can double the efficiency of farming, and the people who do not have more cattle can also cultivate the fields. Based on this alone, when future generations write history, they will inevitably mention me. But I didn't stop, I was working on something new every day, and what was I for? Is it to make money? ”

"Nope! Definitely not! ”

"Money is like a cloud to me, and I see money like dung! Everything I do is to prove my worth, make the country stronger because of me, and make the people richer because of me, this is the meaning of my Li Mu's existence in the world. And you, Changsun Chong. How low-class and dirty are your ideas? Is it so hard to admit that others are good? Tang Guan may have been a student who did not learn or know how to do it in the past, but he is the best editor of my Tang Dynasty today, and the manuscript he wrote is read by thousands of Chang'an people every day, so that the people can know the decrees of the imperial court and the major events that have happened in the country? Compared with him, such as Kong Yingda and others, how many people have read their articles? It is the Hongwen Pavilion, the Chongwen Pavilion, and the students of Guozijian are all added together, but there are many people in Chang'an? ”

The eldest grandson Chong is irrefutable, and this is indeed the case. Before the Datang Daily, books were family heirlooms. If anyone has a collection of books, they will treasure it and not show it easily, how can they educate the people?

But Tang Guan was so happy, he didn't expect him to be so great, and suddenly his waist straightened. The most important thing is that the next time someone says that he doesn't learn and can't do anything, he has something to say.

Eldest Sun Chong was silent for a while, then turned his head and bowed down to apologize to Tang Guan: "Fang is my gaffe." ”

"Oops......" Tang Guan was startled, he didn't expect Changsun Chong to apologize to him, he was the prince of Zhao Guogong! Subconsciously stretched out his hand to help, at this time Li Mu coughed, Tang Guan retracted his outstretched hand again, cleared his throat, and said reservedly: "It's good to say, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, I forgive you." ”

Li Mu raised his hand and knocked him, and scolded with a smile: "You still dragged the text, okay, this matter will be revealed." I will discuss the recruitment of people for the newspaper after consulting with His Majesty. You two will do tomorrow's things well first, Bi Laosan. Li Mu looked at Bi Laosan, who had not spoken, and Bi Laosan hurriedly said: "Master Hou, the little one is here." ”

"You are now an official, you can no longer call yourself a small one, you have to call a lower official...... It doesn't seem right that the lower official is no longer a squire in the Ministry of Works. Li Mu paused and said, "In this way, you call yourself 'me', and we don't distinguish between dignity and inferiority." ”

"How can this work!" Bi Laosan said in fear: "Master Hou treats me like a new parent, no matter what, the little one doesn't dare to be so rebellious." ”

What a grateful person!

Li Mu was relieved: "It's a good thing that the conversation is getting longer. Okay, it's just a trivial matter. When you do things well, you are serious. Recently, the printing superintendent, what kind of improvement has he made in terms of skills? ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, the little one was about to talk to the Hou Ye. Recently, because of the carving mahjong, the craftsmen have tried a lot of materials. A craftsman accidentally discovered that the clay type, which was engraved with clay and printed on a single word, and then hardened by fire, had a better printing effect and was more durable than the wooden and stone movable type used before. ”

Li Mu just asked casually, but he didn't expect that there was really an unexpected gain.

He recalled the history textbooks he had studied in middle school, and it seemed that Bi Sheng's invention of movable type printing used clay movable type. Sure enough, the working people after long-term practice and research is the source of progress, Li Mu was overjoyed, and said: "Tomorrow bring this craftsman to my mansion to see me, bring his clay type, if it is really as you said, this Hou will be rewarded!" ”
