Chapter 180 The printing house is very large, and after those civil and military generals arrived at the printing house, they all looked at this factory, and there was actually nothing to see on this side of the factory, the middle was all bare dirt, but it was very smooth, and there were big houses all around!

"Qin Huaidao, lead the way, I and the ministers, you also have to see the printing house you made!" Li Shimin saw that those ministers were already following behind, so he commanded Qin Huaidao.

"Your Majesty, please!" Qin Huaidao made a gesture of please in front,

At the same time, he and Cheng Chuhei gave up their positions and let Li Shimin and Li Chengqian walk in front.

Then there was Li Zhi, Li Zhi smiled and arched his hand at Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao also responded with a smile, Qin Huaidao also knew that this was done by Li Zhi for others to see, and wanted to show that Li Zhi had a good relationship with himself.

Soon, Li Shimin and the others entered the printing house, and those workers were all in their own stations.

"Well, that's neat!" Li Shimin came in to take a look and found that the machines were neatly arranged, and he was very happy.

The ministers in the back came in, and they didn't know what was in it, but they saw a lot of paper piled up next to the machines, and guessed that the machines must be printing.

"Your Majesty, the preparations have been made, and today the main printing is "The Analects", "The Mean", "Mencius" and "University"!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, okay, I'll take a look first, look at the machines first!" Li Shimin nodded and began to look at those machines, and Qin Huaidao immediately accompanied Li Shimin to see them.

"You made it all out?" Li Shimin looked at those delicate machines and was very shocked, although most of them were made of wood and iron, but they could be made so delicately that ordinary people couldn't do it.

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.

"The art of things, you are really powerful!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao appreciatively,

Those ministers were also shocked when they saw these machines, although many of them were very unhappy when they looked at Qin Huaidao, but they also had to admire Qin Huaidao's ability.

"Tut-tut, such a machine, the old man can't even think of it even if he wants to break his head." Li Jing touched his beard, and his mouth was slurking.

"I can't think of this Ministry of Works, not only me, but also those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, I can't think of it, you see, it's so exquisite, who can think of it?" Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo, also smiled and praised.

Others, too, are mostly compliments!

Qin Huaidao accompanied Li Shimin around and let him see those machines clearly.

"Well, Pepin, let them begin!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Good!" Qin Huaidao nodded, then stood there and said, "Everyone prepare!" ”

"Huh~" The workers immediately lifted the machine, and half of the workers had already placed the paper on the machine with the other hand.

"Let's go!" Qin Huaidao shouted loudly.

"Click!"

"Click"

"Click"...

In an instant, there was a clicking sound from the entire printing house, and the ministers saw a blank piece of paper, which was printed in an instant and spit out from the side.

Then the people of the other machine picked up the blank paper, and in turn, put it on their machine, and printed it again, and after the white paper was spit out, they put it there.

Then they saw the workers working at a very fast pace, and almost in a breath, a blank sheet of paper was printed.

"This, this, so fast?" Li Shimin looked at this scene in shock, and the other ministers were also dumbfounded, and those workers seemed to be like machines.

"This, this, this is printed?" A Wenchen took a piece of paper that had been printed on the front and back and looked at it quickly.

"This, this, how many can be printed in a day? In this way, I can print thousands of copies of them in an hour! A Wenchen looked at this scene and was already calculating how much could be printed in a day.

"Pepin, Pepin!" Li Shimin was looking at a printed piece of paper at the moment, beckoning Qin Huaidao, who immediately walked over.

"This, this is printed? Still, what about discontinuity? Li Shimin looked at it and said.

"Your Majesty, you have to look at the front and back together, you see here is the eighteenth side, followed by the seventeenth side, and the content of these two sides is continuous." Qin Huaidao smiled and took the paper to Li Shimin and flipped it over, and then pointed it out to Li Shimin.

"Oh, so, this time, it's eight pages and sixteen sides?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and said.

"Yes, eight pages at a time!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"This, this, still have to be cut, okay?" Li Shimin thought for a moment and said.

"That's right, when a hundred sheets are printed, a worker will pick them up and start cutting and binding!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"Good, good, good!" Li Shimin was very excited,

This speed is too fast, before Qin Huaidao said that tens of thousands of copies can be printed in a day, he still doesn't believe it, now it seems that if you really want to print, tens of thousands of copies a day can be printed!

In a short time, many machines have printed a hundred sheets, and there are special workers to collect those printed ones and cut them.

After cutting, they are placed separately, and then a worker goes to pick up the paper of a book, and then puts it on the machine that presses the hole, punches the hole, ties it with hemp rope, and the book is loaded!

"Good, good, good!" Li Shimin held the first bound book, which was a "University".

Li Shimin looked at it carefully, wanting to check if there were any flaws inside.

"Father, there must be no mistakes in this, the typesetting before printing needs to go through three checks to ensure that there are no errors in the printing of the book." Li Tai stood beside Li Shimin at this moment and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, it's too fast, it's too fast, just a few moments, hundreds of copies were printed, right?" Li Shimin took his hand, turned his head to see that the workers behind him were printing, and spoke.

"Four hundred!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said,

And at this moment, Lawyer Pei, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Ting, and the Wenchen of their families, their faces are very solemn, and after a while, four hundred copies have been printed, and this factory can really print tens of thousands of books a day.

The Wenchen of those families all looked at each other's eyes at the moment, and they all saw deep worry, this speed was too fast, so fast that they were afraid,

If this factory is allowed to print for a year, then Datang really has no shortage of books, and those bamboo books can also be taken and printed into paper books, Datang, there will be no shortage of books from now on.

"Good, good, good!" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and looked left and right at the printing house, very satisfied.

The same is true for Li Chengqian, with these books, he has a weapon against the family, and it is the most powerful weapon.

Li Chengqian carefully watched the operation of those workers with his hands behind his back, and soon, it was a quarter of an hour.

"Stop!" As soon as Qin Huaidao saw that the time was up, he shouted to stop, and all the workers stopped.

Li Shimin and the other ministers didn't understand why Qin Huaidao was like this.

"It's time to drink water, it's convenient!" Qin Huaidao stood there and spoke.

"Well, oh, you want to take a break, huh?" Li Shimin only asked at this moment.

"Well, with such a high-intensity hand work, their hands will also be very tired and need to rest, our side is like this, do half an hour, rest for half an hour, at the same time, when printing, workers need to rest for a quarter of an hour, otherwise, the arm can't stand it!" Qin Huaidao sat there and said,

There is no steam engine yet, and I don't plan to make this out now, so I can only rely on manual work, people to do it, insist on repeating an action for more than ten minutes, and they will definitely get tired, although they use very light force, but they will also be tired.

"Good, good!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction,

And then after a while, some workers began to continue printing, basically at the current time, and those workers just took a minute's break or so.

Then, the sound of clicking continued, and Li Shimin was very satisfied.

However, at this time, Li Shimin also found that the faces of those families were wrong,

Not only Li Shimin found out, but Qin Huaidao found out, and Qin Huaidao secretly said in his heart that it was not good!

"Well, Pepin, you have a teahouse here, right? Shall we go over there and sit? By the way, pick it up for me, I want to see it! Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao nodded.

"Father, please come here!" Li Tai went to lead the way,

Qin Huaidao picked two of each book, he knew that Li Shimin definitely needed to read it again, and at the same time went in with Li Shimin, as well as Wei Chi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang, the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao, the servant Chu Suiliang, the military department Shangshu Hou Junji, as well as Li Chengqian and Li Tai!

"Pepin, make tea!" Li Shimin sat down, took the book handed over by Qin Huaidao, and said to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao walked to the main seat with a smile, ready to make tea.

"It's good, it's good, and it's inky, it's a good book! Good! Li Shimin looked at the books and said with great appreciation.

Wei Chi Jingde also laughed when he heard that Li Shimin was so happy, proud of Qin Huaidao, of course, proud of his own kid, this reward will definitely not be less, and now those officials outside are still watching.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, how do you feel about this viewing?" Li Shimin was still looking at the books and said casually.

"I don't understand, the old man just looks at those machines are really exquisite, and the old man still can't understand how he prints." Wei Chi Jingde sat there and said with a smug smile.

"I don't expect you to understand, you can't even read books, can you still understand how to print books?" Li Shimin smiled and said with a white look at Wei Chi Jingde.

Wei Chi Jingde laughed out loud.

"Hu Guogong, the old man doesn't understand something, because you haven't shown it either, are those panels all carved?" The eldest grandson Wuji sat there, touching his beard and looking at Qin Huaidao and asked.
