Kou Ji felt the eager eyes of the craftsmen, and knew what the craftsmen were thinking.

He has a lot of skills in his hands that can bring out great masters, but he has no intention of passing them on to these people for the time being.

After sharply rejecting Bi Sheng's gift to himself, Kou Ji said to the craftsmen who surrounded him and refused to leave: "I still have some craftsmanship in my hands, but these crafts need to be supported by steel, if you can't refine steel, don't want to spy on my craftsmanship."

Fuck off! ”

Kou Ji gave the craftsmen a promise and scolded them to leave.

The craftsmen were not annoyed by his abuse, but went back to refining steel one by one.

Kou Ji told the leader of the craftsmen to prepare a small courtyard for Bi Sheng alone, so that Bi Sheng could continue to study printing.

The leader of the craftsmen agreed.

Kou Ji walked out of the courtyard where the craftsmen were, and just after leaving the moon gate of the courtyard, he bumped into Xiang Yan, who was hurrying over.

Xiang Yan lifted the corner of her skirt, stared at Kou Ji, and hurriedly asked, "The person who stole the color ink was caught?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Xiang Yan said with a sinister face: "That servant who doesn't know whether to live or die did it? The concubine should teach him the rules well. ”

Xiang Yan's voice landed, and her maid Chun'er took out a rattan from her back and shook it vigorously.

Kou Ji stopped Xiang Yan, who was about to break into the courtyard where the craftsmen were, and persuaded: "I can't beat ......."

Xiang Yan was stunned and asked Kou Ji, "Why can't you fight?" The concubine, who is the mother of the master, can't teach the servants of the house a lesson? ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "You, the master mother, can naturally teach the servants of the house, but Bi Sheng is no longer a servant of the house." ”

"Divorced?"

Xiang Yan asked stunned.

Without waiting for Kou Ji to answer, she said indignantly: "Even if you get out of the country, how can anyone in my Kou Mansion be bullied if they want to?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I'm out of naturalization." It's that Bi Sheng has been promoted to the doorman of my Kou Mansion. ”

Xiang Yan frowned, and asked: "Menke, that is a thing from the Qin and Han dynasties, how can there be such a thing as a doorman now." Even if you want to make a special case in the palace and restore the old system of the Qin and Han dynasties, you shouldn't be promoted to a thief. ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "What thieves steal or not, I will mention it again in the future." In the future, not only can you not mention that he is a thief, but you also have to help him make a name. ”

Xiang Yan was stunned, thought about it for a while, and said in amazement: "What did he do?" ”

"He became a god......"

"God?"

"Craftsman!"

Kou Ji said two words loudly, took out the article printed by Bi Sheng from his cuff, and handed it to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan took the article and looked puzzled.

Glancing at the article, the way it was printed was a little different, but she didn't care, but looked at the article carefully.

Then he raised his head and asked with a blank face: "This is just an ordinary article written by an ordinary reader, and the essay is three points worse than the concubine, what's so special?" ”

Kou Ji's face darkened slightly, and he reminded in a deep voice: "Look at the printing ......"

Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered her head to continue watching.

At first glance, you can immediately see the difference.

"This ...... Not your ordinary block printing? ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain to Xiang Yan.

After a deep groan, he let go of the moon gate in the courtyard where the craftsmen were, and said, "You go in and see it yourself, but don't hurt Bi Sheng." ”

Xiang Yan glared and said, "If he really contributes to the house, the concubine will naturally not hurt him." But if he doesn't make a big contribution to the house, the concubine will definitely investigate him for stealing. ”

Koji was speechless.

Xiang Yanhu suspiciously took Chun'er into the courtyard where the craftsmen were.

Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and returned to the Four Monarchs Garden.

Entering the study, Kou Ji took a book on poetry analysis from the collection of books brought by Xiang Yan and opened it to read.

Tomorrow he will attend the deer banquet in Jinmingchi.

According to the previous situation, when the students of the Autumn Festival arrived at the Luming Banquet, they inevitably had to compose poems and pretend to be forced.

He needs to learn something like poetry analysis.

Avoid the deer banquet, when the students come to him to evaluate the poems, what he says is wrong, which makes people laugh.

Kou Ji flipped through the pages with the book in his hand, and Xiang Yan rushed into the study like a gust of wind.

When she saw Kou Ji, she exclaimed, "Xianggong, there is a saint in the house." ”

Kou Ji put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "What a saint, pure nonsense." ”

Xiang Yan hurriedly walked up to Kou Ji and exclaimed: "The concubine is not talking nonsense, Bi Sheng uses movable type to do printing, which is much better than the original engraving printing." If this spreads, the scholars in the world will not be able to treat Bi Sheng as a saint.

It is very likely that the craftsmen will worship Bi Sheng as an ancestor.

Such a character is from our Kou Mansion, and our Kou Mansion will also be stained. ”

When Kou Ji heard Xiang Yan's words, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

According to historical records, after Bi Sheng created movable type printing, he did not immediately become famous, and no one in the government and the opposition cared about him.

It was only after his death that the scholars realized the benefits of movable type printing, and this began to make a name for him.

In other words, if movable type printing could not be spread, Bi Sheng would not become famous, and it would be impossible for Kou Fu to follow it.

The reason why Kou Ji helped Bi Sheng brag and helped Bi Sheng rise to a higher status was also because he created movable type printing, and he didn't want to get rid of him.

Now that Xiang Yan mentioned it, Kou Ji had some thoughts.

Help Bi Sheng become famous, so that people all over the world can quickly realize movable type printing, not only Bi Sheng will benefit, but Kou Fu will also benefit.

With this thought, Kou Ji smiled and said to Xiang Yan: "Since Madame admires Bi Sheng so much, and thinks that our Kou Mansion can follow Bi Sheng to shine, then how about you help Bi Sheng become famous?" ”

When Xiang Yan heard Kou Ji's words, she immediately understood Kou Ji's thoughts.

She also knows that no matter how big a person's ability is and how high his skills are, it is useless.

It needs someone to tout before it will be worth a hundred times.

Xiang Yan pondered it for a moment and proposed: "The concubine is in the courtyard outside the city, holding a poetry meeting?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head slowly, "There are a few other courtyards in the Kou Mansion outside the city, but most of them have fallen into disrepair and are no longer needed. ”

Xiang Yan thought about it again and said, "Then the concubine will tell a few close friends in the boudoir and let them help Bi Sheng become famous when they participate in the poetry meeting?" ”

Kou Ji still shook his head.

Xiang Yan sighed: "What should I do then?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment or two, and had a countermeasure.

He asked: "You sent someone to Vientiane Tower, and asked Zhang Cheng to help sell Bi Sheng to create a printing technique, and the price was 10,000 yuan." ”

Xiang Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he exclaimed, "10,000 yuan, who will buy it?" It can't be sold at all. ”

Kou Ji smiled: "I also know that it can't be sold, I just want to use this to make the name of the printing technology created by Bi Sheng out." ”

Xiang Yan blinked, thinking about Kou Ji's intentions for doing this.

After a while, her eyes sparkled and said, "The concubine understands the intention of the princess." With the current status and reputation of Vientiane Building, they sold a thing for 10,000 yuan, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Bianjing City.

Some people naturally can't bear it, and will dig deep into the printing technology created by Bi Sheng.

When the time comes, the concubine will send someone to spread some of the things printed by printing, and then reveal some of the benefits of printing.

Bi Sheng will definitely become famous. ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "Since you have understood my intentions, then you can do it." ”

Xiang Yan smiled brightly, turned around and was about to leave the study to build momentum for movable type printing.

When he walked to the door of the room, he seemed to remember something, and after a pause, he turned around and asked: "Xianggong, Bi Sheng said that he can create printing, Xianggong, you have contributed a lot, and I want you to give it a name." ”

Kou Ji didn't even think about it, and blurted out.

"Movable Type Printing ......"

Xiang Yan was slightly stunned, recalled the process of Bi Sheng's printing, and said with a smile: "It's also appropriate." ”

After sending Xiang Yan away, Kou Ji read books alone in the bookstore.

Xiang Yan went out of Kou Ji's study and immediately sent someone to Vientiane Building to send a message to Zhang Cheng.

In the evening.

When the people in Bianjing City were busy discussing what happened at the gate of the Gongyuan of Kaifeng Mansion.

There was news that someone was going to sell a craft worth 10,000,000 yuan.

Moment.

Bianjing City is a sensation again.

A craft worth 10,000,000 dollars?

What kind of craft is that?

The official treasure seal, I'm afraid it's not worth so much money, right?

Some businessmen with identity backgrounds immediately poured into the Vientiane Building to inquire about the news.

It's just that from the upstairs to the shopkeeper and down to the guys, no one is willing to leak the news.

The businessmen scratched their ears and cheeks anxiously, refusing to leave the Vientiane Building.

The people couldn't get the news, and their hearts itched and couldn't sleep.

As a result, some people began to spread rumors.

Some people say that the news released by Vientiane Tower is fake.

Some people also say that the craftsmanship worth 10,000 yuan in Vientiane Building is the bird technique created by the ancestor of Luban in the past.

There were different opinions, and it was discussed all night.

Following.

After Kou Ji got up, he put on his official uniform and rushed to Jinmingchi.

The deer feast starts in the evening and ends late at night.

But Kou Ji had to rush to Jin Myeongchi early to prepare.

As the youngest of the three examiners, he naturally had to do this kind of laborious work.

When Kou Ji arrived at Jinmingchi, the eunuchs and palace ladies sent by the palace were already waiting at the gate of Jinmingchi.

The leader was not a eunuch, but Cai Cai, a guard with a knife in front of the emperor who once had a relationship with Kou Ji.

When Zhao Heng died, this guy mixed up some credit, and now he has been reappointed as the deputy commander of the guard with a knife in front of the palace.

"Kou Shirou ......"

"Cai leads the ......"

After the two saluted each other.

Cai Cai led Kou Ji, as well as those eunuchs and palace laves, into Jinmingchi.

The reason why Cai Cai led them into Jinmingchi, instead of letting the eunuch lead them into Jinmingchi, was because of Jinmingchi.

Jinmingchi can be regarded as the most special place in the Great Song Dynasty.

It is not only a place for officials and people to enjoy together, but also a military place.

In the Jinming Pond, tens of thousands of the most elite sailors of the Great Song Dynasty are stationed, and they take big boats to practice on the water every day.

But all the officials drank and feasted in Jinmingchi and enjoyed with the people.

The water army in Jinming Pond will practice one or two, so that the people can see and understand.

It is a playground as well as a military barracks.

The two can't match together, and it is a perfect fusion in it.

Cai Cai led Kou Ji and his entourage to the gate of Jinmingchi, and after issuing the holy decree of the official Zhao Zhen, the guards at the gate of Jinmingchi opened the door.

Eight eunuchs stayed on both sides of the gate of Jinmingchi, accompanying the guards at the gate of Jinmingchi.

In the evening, the students of the current autumn school want to enter Jinmingchi, they have to stay to check the identities of the students, let the students in, and avoid the students being harassed by the guards.

The soldiers in Jinmingchi had already been informed that there was a deer banquet in Jinmingchi tonight, so they had stopped practicing, and the big ship moved to another unknown place.

There was only a huge dragon boat, floating on the water.

It was a dragon boat that only officials could ride.

Other than that, there is no one on the Kim Myung Pond to see.

Only the turquoise surface of the pool, accompanied by the cold wind, gently fluctuated.

Kou Ji and his entourage entered the Jinming Pond, and there were Jinjia soldiers, leading them to embark on a corridor that ran through half of the Jinming Pond.

In the middle of Jinming Pond, there is a group of palaces.

The deer feast was held in the Cheng'en Hall among them.

The reason why it is called Cheng'en Hall is to take the meaning of the emperor's grace.

The group arrived at the Cheng'en Temple.

Cai Cai took Kou Ji to a resting place in the palace to rest, and then he led the eunuchs and palace ladies to begin to decorate the palace.

It's not the first time that those eunuchs and palace ladies have done this kind of thing, so they don't need Kou Ji's supervision to mention it at all.

They will take care of their own errands.

After all, if something went wrong at the Luming Banquet, Kou Ji would not be punished in any way, and they, the eunuchs and palace ladies who were responsible for arranging the Cheng'en Palace, would bear all the blame.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Kou Ji hid in a corner of the main hall to rest.

I also grabbed a few plates of food made by the imperial chef in the palace.

The eunuch carrying the lunch box did not dare to be angry or speak out about it.

Kou Ji salted fish in the Cheng'en Hall for most of the day.

The eunuchs and palace ladies have already arranged the Cheng'en Palace.

Tables and chairs, food, drinks, and utensils are neatly placed.

After it was placed, the eunuchs and palace ladies withdrew from the Cheng'en Hall and waited for dispatch in another side hall.

Before leaving, an older eunuch came to Kou Ji's side and said with a bitter face: "Kou Shilang, don't bring the plates and chopsticks from the palace back to the house this time."

Otherwise, the slave and maid returned to the palace, and there was no way to explain to the palace. ”

Kou Ji was not happy to hear this, and glared: "I'm not that kind of person! ”

The old eunuch didn't dare to snort, but just arched his hand to Kou Ji and made a gesture of pleading.

Kou Ji sighed, "I know, I won't take those things. But if someone else takes it, then I don't care. ”

When the old eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said: "As long as you don't move, others will definitely not move." ”

Kou Ji glared at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch knew what he said, and Kou Ji didn't want to listen to it, so he didn't dare to say more.

Exited the Hall of Grace.
