Chapter 388: Chicken Feathers
"Be forgiving and forgiving."
After Li Shimin said this, he drove Li Mu out of the car. Li Mu returned to his horse and counted with Dugu Jiu, what does it mean to be forgiving and forgiving? was puzzled, and in the end, Dugu Jiu was a little smarter, he felt that Li Shimin meant that his real name could not be exposed.
So, the next day's Datang Daily, such a headline appeared in the lace news section.
[Touching the heavens and the earth! The sister-in-law turned out to be his wife! The surname of the king of Yushitai is the love affair between the royal history and the brother and sister-in-law! 】.
[I see! The wife gave him a green hat, which turned out to be a sign of stealing people behind his back? Yushitai surnamed Li Yushi found the editor of this newspaper and cried blood to denounce! 】.
The two news articles were issued together, and they detonated public opinion in Chang'an City. The people of Chang'an City, who had just come out of the incident of Gaochang's annexation to the Tang Dynasty, were immediately attracted and discussed who the two 'Wang and Li' were, and whether there was really such a number one person in Yushitai.
Yushitai also reads Datang Daily every day, and when he saw this news, it immediately caused heated discussions. There are dozens of people in the Imperial History Tower, and there are several Imperial Historians surnamed Wang and Li, and no one dares to say which one it is.
Everyone is curious, and the more you don't know who it is, the more you want to know who it is.
Everyone knows that Datang Daily is run by Li Mu, and the people who have the biggest enmity between Yushitai and Li Mu are none other than Wei Zheng and Wang Jingze. And in the two news of 'Wang and Li', there is a person surnamed Wang, and everyone speculates that this 'Wang's surname Yushi' refers to Wang Jingze.
When Wang Jingze heard the discussion, he immediately took out the family tree, he has no brother, only one sister, so it can't be the 'Wang surname Yushi' in the news. In this way, the relationship was cleared up, and everyone guessed that it was someone else, guessed who, and who panicked. There is also the so-called 'Imperial History surnamed Li', which is even more to mention who is bombed, 'Royal History surnamed Wang' is better, no matter how you say it, it is also stealing someone else's daughter-in-law. 'Li surnamed Yushi' is unlucky, his wife steals people behind his back, and he doesn't know it? How miserable this must be!
Who dares to admit it, admit it and become the eighth king!
Yushitai was so disturbed by these two news, how can he still be in the mood to work? In the end, it was Wei Zheng who came forward, stopped the matter, and asked the people of Yushitai not to mention it again, and if others mentioned it, they should not respond, so that the matter could be calmed down.
But how can there be an impermeable wall under the sky? The eyes of the people are naturally bright, and within three days, it has been clear who these 'Wang and Li' are. That night, Wang Yushi's brother rushed to the door with a knife and wanted to stab his own brother. was so frightened that the king of Yushi urinated out, and let his brother scold him, but he didn't open the door. His brother was so angry that he bought oil and threw it into the courtyard, burned down half of his house, returned home, divorced his wife, and went to the temple to become a monk.
And if this Wang Yushi has done such an ugly thing, it is impossible to be an official again. The hanged did not die, but he was dismissed by the officials and went back to his hometown in disgrace.
Li Yushi's situation was even more miserable, he saw that the newspaper mentioned the green head, and his heart was full of underestimation. When I got home, I rummaged through it, and I really found the green hat that his wife sewed for him half a month ago. He approached his wife with a hat and questioned him, but was ridiculed by sluts for not being a man. He raised his hand to beat him angrily, but he didn't hit his wife, but was slapped several times in the mouth.
In the end, it was the neighbor who heard the voice and reported to the official, so that he was saved.
Adultery is a great sin, and the government is directed against him. But when it came time to sentence, he relented when he heard that his wife was going to be sentenced to death. Under his plea, he sentenced his wife and adulterer to exile to the north and south respectively, and became a pair of bitter mandarin ducks.
Li Yushi no longer had the face to stay in Chang'an City, and resigned and returned to his hometown on the grounds of illness. Li Shimin took pity on him and did not directly remove the official, but changed to the county commander of his hometown. Compared with the royal history of the king, the end is good.
After this incident, everyone in the Yushi Observatory was in danger, not to mention impeachment, and they didn't even dare to mention the word 'Li Mu'. For the first time, the forces of all parties are truly aware of the power of public opinion, and they have re-examined the newspaper as a thing.
As a direct victim of this incident, Wei Zheng, the spokesman of Yushitai, was the first to stand up and say that he wanted to run a newspaper. But the next day, he gave up. It's not because of lack of money, it's because it won't print. After inquiring, he learned that now Datang can do batch printing, and only the printing supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the one who can do mass printing. Other than that, there are no semicolons. Do you want to go and tell Li Mu that you will help me print a newspaper that is against you and against you?
Think about it on your toes and know what the result is.
I couldn't make a plan, so I had to think again. Wei Zheng contacted Wang Jue, the eldest grandson Wuji and others to play together, and asked the imperial court to strictly control the content of the Datang Daily. In this regard, the three have a common interest. Otherwise, the encounter of the two imperial histories of 'Wang and Li' will come again, and they will not be able to stand it on anyone. Their demand was to bring the seal supervisor under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, but Li Mu strongly opposed it. He declared that if that were the case, he would destroy the printing press, and no one would want to use it.
Li Shimin reconciled the mud from the middle, and the final result of mediation was that the Zhongshu Province sent a director to be stationed in the printing superintendent to be responsible for judging the contents. If it involves articles that are 'offensive to morals' and 'insulting to Swen', they are not allowed to be printed, which can be regarded as a supervisory responsibility.
Because of this incident, Li Mu had a very unpleasant quarrel with the three families. But soon, he took his revenge. Because Li Shimin finally adopted his suggestion after careful consideration. In order to streamline the expenses of the imperial court, Li Shimin asked the three provinces to discuss the issue of the 'budget' of each yamen's function together with the six ministries. Once the budget is set, no additional budget will be added in principle.
As soon as this news came out, everyone was caught off guard. After the hundred officials inquired and understood what this decree meant, they wrote to oppose it, but Li Shimin had already made up his mind and rejected all of them. The hundred officials had no choice but to accept it, so a 'money grabbing war' quickly kicked off, and the three provinces and six departments quarreled every day, and each yamen did not let a penny, and they quarreled when they met, and they were red-faced and red-faced, and they had no time to fight with Li Mu.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Li Ying came to Li Mu and sent him his customized four-wheeled luxury car parts. By the way, he also brought four old carpenters over, planning to see how Li Mu assembled the car, although he bought Li Mu's patent that day, but when he went to the patent department to make the contract the next day, he was told that this was a 'time-limited priority patent', Li Ying carefully read the content of the contract, and his lungs were about to explode. No wonder Li Mu agreed so happily, daring to love that this patent was only sold for one year.
The content of the contract roughly means that within the one-year period, Li Mu will not sell the patented technology of the four-wheeled carriage to others. But after a year, the contract was nullified. In other words, if Li Mu wants to sell it to others, he will do it to his heart.
Li Ying wanted to go to Li Mu at that time, but before he could take a step, he turned around and signed the contract.
He has been in charge for many years and has a lot of experience. How can I not understand the importance of the time difference, if I don't sign this contract today, I will sell the technology of the four-wheeled carriage to someone else. It is likely that in a short period of time, there will be a competitor that can match the Li family of Zhaojun Carriage and Horse Company.
But on the other hand, if you sign this contract. After another year of development, the Li family of Zhaojun will firmly sit in the position of 'logistics overlord' with the help of four-wheeled carriages. At that time, even if Li Mu sold this technology to others, others would not want to shake the dominance of the Li clan of Zhao County.
After the contract was signed, Li Ying got the drawings of the bogie. But when I went back to paint the scoop according to the gourd, the bogie made always had problems when it was installed, and it could not reach the level of perfection. Therefore, today he brought a craftsman over, wanting to see how Li Mu did it, a thousand taels of gold were spent, if he couldn't learn the craft, wouldn't the money be in vain?
Li Mu is also very generous, after all, he put others together first, and he taught him very seriously. After half a month of recuperation, the place where he was stabbed by Yin Hongzhi has been healed. If he hadn't been running back and forth between the two construction sites in Pingkangfang and Xiaoyao Valley in the past few days, he would have been too busy, he would have set up the furnace and broken through the forging to the advanced level, and see what the third question mark skill was.
After half an afternoon of busy work, the carriage was assembled. Li Ying watched from the side, very convinced. Originally, he had only heard that Li Mu knew everything, whether it was a carpenter, a blacksmith, or a bricklayer, he could get started with them all, and he was very proficient in them.
Before today, Lee should have been skeptical. He is not one of those young masters, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains. As one of the principals of the Li clan in Zhaojun, he also came over in his early years. Over the years, the craftsmen who have been in contact with each other, not a thousand, but also eight hundred, know that every skill takes a lot of time to boil, the so-called practice makes perfect is this truth, there is no shortcut.
However, a craftsman who can practice makes perfect is only a person who can 'work'. If you don't have talent, you can't imagine inventing something new. After Li Mu came to Chang'an, whether it was the Zhenguan plough or the horseshoe, including the giant axe behind Li Chongyi and the legendary Zhuge crossbow, all of them showed outstanding talent. Is it true that such a person who combines many skills in one body exists?
Lee should be skeptical.
But today, after seeing Li Mu assembling the carriage, he was completely convinced. As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Li Mu's every movement is so concise and concise. Every step is so logical and clear, even if you watch it from the side, it is a pleasure. Fast, accurate, stable, all in one go. This kind of feeling, Li Ying has only seen in a few old craftsmen whose skills have been perfected, but those people are all sixty or seventy years old, but Li Mu is so young. Except for 'talented', Li Ying really can't think of any words to describe it.
The four carpenters also learned how to install the bogie after Li Mu's demonstration. Li Mu also let Li Ying take away the bearings he made when he rushed the skill before, which can be regarded as the delivery of the first order. But after the order was delivered, there were no more bearings in his warehouse.
The matter of cultivating craftsmen is urgent and must be done.
