"Master Hou, please go back, you can't leave the house."

"I'm going to supervise the work, is this Your Majesty's order, delaying your sin?"

"The grounding order is also His Majesty's order, Master Hou, please go back."

“……”

This is the seventh time that Li Mu tried to leave the mansion and was blocked by the forbidden army, after Li Shimin's order was issued, a group of forbidden troops came that day and guarded the front and back doors of the Zhuluhou Mansion. No one cares about others coming in and out, but Li Mu is the only one, and it is impossible to get out.

Li Mu was a human being, and finally tasted the taste of squatting in prison, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. It's also strange to say, in his previous life, Li Mu could be regarded as an otaku, if he didn't have to go to work, he had food and drink, he could stay at home until he was old, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, but when he came to this Tang Dynasty, he just stayed at home for three days, he couldn't sit still, and he couldn't figure out why.

Li Mu returned to the back house, collapsed on the recliner in the courtyard, shook gently, and looked at the clouds in the sky in a daze boredly. Bai Qiaoqiao brought Li Zhien to him, Li Mu glanced at them, and said, "If you're sorry, don't say it anymore, if you feel sorry, go and make me something delicious." ”

"Hmm!" Bai Qiaoqiao happily agreed, but Li Zhien was about to cry, she couldn't cook. Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Don't know how to cook?" ”

"Hmm......" Li Zhien bowed his head and wilted.

"Then you don't want to learn?!"

"Oh, oh, I'm going to learn."

After sending away his wife and the maid who was in trouble, Li Mu became bored again. Before he was grounded, he went out early every morning, wandered around all day, and came back with the energy to knock and beat, and improve his forging proficiency. But this suddenly became idle, and there was time to upgrade him, and he suddenly became lazy, and fell on the recliner and didn't want to do anything, with only one thought in his head, wanting to get out of the house and wanting to be free!

"Boss, Clerk Yu's Wailang is here." Li Chongyi came over and said, Li Mu opened his eyes and said lazily: "What is he doing here?" ”

"You asked him to find a craftsman who could carve, and he found it, and waited in the lobby."

"Ah, yes!" Li Mu remembered, that day he thought of a good way to not practice calligraphy, printing!

When Li Mu was working on the game "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Heroes" before, although he was responsible for the data balance, he had also read some information about the background setting part of the game. There's a passage in it about printing. Because what he saw surprised him, he remembered it deeply.

Printing was an invention of the Tang Dynasty and was commonly used in the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty. The earliest engraving found now is a single page of the Sanskrit Dharani Sutra, which was engraved in the Wu Zetian period, that is, in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as printing.

This made Li Mu very surprised, in his subconscious, printing is a very basic thing. Find a wooden board, engrave the words, paint the ink, take a paper brush and print it, what a simple thing. How could it not be in the Tang Dynasty?

However, the truth is that there is none.

Another thing that surprised Li Mu was the evolution of engraving printing, movable type printing. After the invention of engraving printing in the Tang Dynasty, it took nearly 300 years for people to realize that they did not need to engrave a plate every time they printed, but they could be engraved into a single word, and then arranged and combined. In the eyes of later generations, it took the ancient people nearly three hundred years to accumulate and summarize such a simple thing, which made Li Mu somewhat incomprehensible.

But perhaps the progress of human civilization is like this, sometimes it takes an opportunity before it will bring about rapid development. This is like in modern times, in 300 years, people can fly into space, and in the previous 3,000 years, human beings lived a similar life. It's like a piece of window paper, if you don't pierce it, you will never see what is inside the window.

In order to be lazy, Li Mu remembered printing. And he decided to do it in one step and directly engage in movable type printing. I asked Yuwen Gui for a few craftsmen who were good at carving, and planned to carve a set of commonly used movable characters.

Yuwengui found all stone carving craftsmen, and Li Mu asked them to carve with hardwood, although the materials were different, they also got started quickly. They didn't understand the reason why Li Mu asked them to engrave the words, and Li Mu didn't explain too much, so they found a thousand-character text, and asked them to tear off a page and engrave it again, and then tear a page after carving, and carve a word to give ten cents, and the craftsmen were very happy. With their carving speed, at least 200 words a day, two times the money in hand, who can not be happy?

Li Mu squatted beside him and watched, secretly exclaiming in his heart. It is really impossible to underestimate the ability of the working people of ancient times, take these craftsmen as an example. They couldn't read and write, but the carved characters were exactly the same as the fonts on the thousand-character script. Li Mu admires this kind of ability, at least he himself definitely can't do it.

"Boss, the general is here, and he brought two people."

"Two people?"

Li Mu's heart moved, and he quickly got up and ran to the lobby, and when he heard Li Shimin's voice from a distance, he secretly said Sure enough, he quickened his pace.

"The minister is late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." Li Mu bowed down to salute, Li Shimin was still happy, but when he saw Li Mu coming, his face drooped, and he snorted, and said: "Zhulu Hou is so majestic, when the street hangs the eldest son of the Boling Cui family on the door and whips him, it is really domineering." ”

Li Mu heard Li Shimin's ridicule, but he still cooperated with the act: "Your Majesty allows the ministers to argue, and there is a reason for the incident......

"Stop! Don't argue, I'm too lazy to listen to you. "Li Shimin now hears the words 'Rong Chen's debate', and the scene of Li Mu dizzying Kong Yingda that day comes to mind, his ears are buzzing, he really doesn't want to hear it, and says: "I already know what happened. If it weren't for the extenuating circumstances, how could I have only grounded you for ten days? Saying that, Li Shimin gestured to the eldest grandson Wuji next to him, and said, "You have to thank Zhao Guogong, he has said a lot of good things for you." ”

Li Mu hurriedly saluted the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Thank you for your kind words." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "I just told the truth, so I don't need to thank you." It's just that you have to be calmer in the future, and don't be so reckless anymore. ”

"The little nephew knows."

Li Shimin said: "Don't say polite words, I came today to hear from Mao Gong that you have made that new plough." I'd like to see if it's really as much as you say, it's twice as efficient. ”

Li Shimin has every opportunity, so naturally he will not come to the courtier's house for no reason. However, the matter of the new plough is related to the foundation of the country, and Li Shimin is very concerned. And Li Mu was grounded again, and he couldn't enter the palace to demonstrate for him, so Li Shimin came here. If Li Mu messes things up, the consequences can be imagined.

Fortunately, Li Mu had already prepared, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have indeed made a set, please move to Chen's studio and let the minister demonstrate it for you." ”
