Chapter 109: Disguise
"That's great!" Wang Jue couldn't be happy.
Most of the books in his house were in tatters, and he took the opportunity to renovate them.
After suggesting which books to print, the two took their leave.
Looking at the long book list, Leng Feng sighed, now the printing press is Li Shimin's thing, how can he not do the thing of borrowing chickens and laying eggs.
Lao Li waited outside the living room for a long time, and when he saw that the teacup on the table next to Leng Feng was no longer hot, he came over to change the hot tea for Leng Feng.
"Lao Li, you take this piece of paper into the palace." Leng Feng handed the paper in his hand to Lao Li and continued: "Tell the emperor that if you run the World Library Building well, you don't have to cry poor all day long." ”
Lao Li scratched his head: "Just according to what you said?" ”
"Just as it is."
Lao Li was very surprised, how could he say that the emperor "cried poor all day long"?
But after thinking about it, I was relieved, who made his master a master in the world!
Seeing that Lao Li was gone, Leng Feng took out the map and put Gaochang's "! "Changed to"? ”。
This time I went to Wuling to pick up Feng An, if it went well, it would not consume a lot of firearms, and when the firearms base accumulated to more than eight, this thousand people alone would be able to resist half of Gaochang's army, and then as long as Li Shimin sent some troops casually, he would be able to eat Gaochang.
Cotton, you have to rely on cotton to resist the cold, and now the quilts are sewn out of the cloth layer by layer, and they feel like bricks. The rich people's skin fur, although it is also hard, but it is much better than the cloth quilt, and Leng Feng relied on the stove to survive the winter of the Tang Dynasty in the past two years.
Come to think of it, the quilt can be completely crushed compared to them.
Just when Leng Feng recalled the warmth of the quilt, Liu Shuwen walked in while eating a bowl of ice cream.
"I tried to add some frosting, you can taste it."
Leng Feng opened his mouth, and Liu Shuwen dug up a big spoonful and stuffed it into Leng Feng's mouth.
Leng Feng tasted it carefully and said to her: "The taste is okay, but it is a little too sweet, but it covers the fragrance of the cream." ”
Liu Shuwen nodded, then turned around and continued to do, in the past two days she has been learning to make her own ice cream, and she has been tirelessly trying various ways to eat.
Leng Feng knew her thoughts, and making ice cream was just a way to relieve the sorrow in her heart that the two of them were about to separate.
The carriage of the Leng Mansion stopped in front of the palace gate, Lao Li pushed the curtain of the carriage open, took out a token with the word "Leng" written on the front and "Butler-Li" written on the back and handed it to the gatekeeper.
This token is made with a hydraulic hammer, and it is not easy for others to imitate it.
The soldiers guarding the palace gate knew the identity of the person who came as soon as they saw the token, solemnly returned the token to Lao Li, and said to Lao Li: "Steward Li, please wait a while, there will be a yellow gate to lead you in soon." ”
Among the housekeepers in Chang'an, Lao Li is one of the most face-saving, and the housekeepers of each Guogong Mansion have to greet each other with a smile, as for entering the palace, they don't have to wait for the meeting, and there is a yellow gate to lead them until the front of the palace.
Sure enough, in less than a pillar of incense, Nameless, one of Li Shimin's two personal eunuchs, came over to greet Lao Li: "Haha, it turned out to be Steward Li, but what does Duke Xi Guogong have to ask you to send to Your Majesty?" ”
Lao Li smiled: "It's just a list and a sentence, Your Majesty can handle government affairs now?" ”
Nameless said: "Your Majesty is free now, in the Imperial Garden, you can come with our family." ”
After speaking, he took Lao Li to the imperial garden.
Li Shimin was very interested today, and actually walked the dog with his seven-year-old daughter Li Lizhi in the imperial garden.
Li Li, as her name suggests, has completely inherited her mother's beauty, although she was only seven years old at the time, she can already see how beautiful she will be in the future.
may be because she looks like a queen, Li Shimin likes this eldest daughter very much, and even when he was busy with government affairs in the past, he had to take time to accompany her.
After sending his daughter to the queen, Li Shimin took the handkerchief sent by the queen, wiped the sweat on his face, and then asked Lao Li: "Do you have something to report when you come?" ”
Lao Li bowed down and said: "Wang Qi and Kong Yingda went to the house to ask my master to print books, and then sell them cheaply. After the two of them left, the old man asked me to show the book list to His Majesty, and asked the old slave to tell His Majesty......"
"Oh? What did he tell you to say? ”
Lao Li opened his mouth a few times before saying: "The old man said: 'Tell the emperor that if you run the Tianxia Library well, you don't have to cry all day long.'" ’”
"Poof......" Li Shimin laughed directly: "That's what your master said?" ”
Lao Li saw that the emperor was not angry, so he put his mind at ease: "Yes." ”
Li Shimin waved his hand, asked Lao Li to step back, and laughed with the book list himself.
With the creation of the Tianwen Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Division, he really didn't contribute much money, not because he was stingy, but because he was really poor.
In the past, when he was still the king of Qin, not only did he go out to fight a lot, but Li Yuan would reward him again after returning to Beijing, and he was too lazy to count the treasures at home at that time.
However, since he ascended the throne, the wealth of the family has become the treasury, and whenever the people suffer disasters and send troops to cause the treasury to be empty, he can not help but transfer money from the treasury to support the treasury.
The use of troops against the Eastern Turks was innumerable, and the treasury was already empty and could not afford it at all, so it can be said that the victory over the Eastern Turks was bought by Li Shimin with his own money.
Although the wealth of the Qin Wangfu is innumerable, when the expenses change from one person to a country, the so-called "innumerable" becomes a joke.
But...... Selling books can be really lucrative! Li Shimin remembered that "Luoyang paper is expensive", and he seemed to have made a lot of money by selling the double "A Fang Gongfu" as a supervisor!
Seeing that the emperor was very happy, the queen led her daughter over and asked, "Your Majesty is so happy, why don't you share it with your concubine?" Let the concubine also be happy. ”
Li Shimin pointed in the direction of Weishui and said, "There is a guy who said that I am poor and sent me a business. ”
"It's the Duke of the Okok, right?"
The queen naturally thought of Leng Feng, other people didn't dare to say this at all, if he said it, the emperor wouldn't laugh, but directly asked for the guilt.
"You are indeed poor enough, the concubine counted the expenses of the inner library, and found that as long as there is another war, our family will have to drink the northwest wind."
"Mother, I don't want to drink the northwest wind." Li Lizhi hugged the queen's legs and coquettishly.
Li Shimin touched his daughter's little face and smiled: "Don't drink, don't drink, my family's beauty is so beautiful, my father is reluctant to let you drink the northwest wind." ”
After teasing his daughter, Li Shimin handed the book list to the queen and said: "Order the Internal Affairs Office to enter paper and ink, and order the general to supervise the printing of books." Let's open a library next to the world. ”
The queen took the list of books and asked suspiciously: "Since the Duke of Xi Guo has already given you this business, why do you still have the name of 'Tianxialou'?" ”
Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Shame, how can the emperor do business directly?" It's better to use the downstairs as a cover. ”
