Chapter 69 Struggle (Ask for Recommendation Collection)
Chapter 69 Qin Huaidao has actually been waiting for Li Zhi to come over, so that he can discuss the matter of setting up a printing house.
But Li Zhi has not come, especially now that he is already engraving fonts, tools are also being made now, and the paper mill can produce paper at any time.
The reason why there was no production was that Qin Huaidao wanted to wait for the printing of these things to come out and release them together at that time, so that it would have an effect, but Li Zhi didn't come, which made Qin Huaidao helpless.
"Li Zhi is scared? Afraid that sticking to me will cause the family's unhappiness? Or are you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will target him at that time? Qin Huaidao turned his head to look at Wu Mei and said,
What Wu Mei said just now made him indeed a little surprised, Qin Huaidao knew that Li Zhi was ambitious, and a prince without ambition could not win in the end.
However, if he didn't dare to come here, this made Qin Huaidao feel that Li Zhi was not only ambitious, but also very knowledgeable about self-preservation, and even said that he was hypocritical!
"Of course, if His Royal Highness the King of Jin is facing the King of Wei and the crown prince now, he has no chance at all.
Moreover, now it depends on His Majesty's intentions, if His Majesty asks him to come, he will definitely come, if His Majesty does not make a clear statement, then His Royal Highness the King of Jin will dare to come? Wu Mei looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
Qin Huaidao sat there silently, and after a while, Qin Huaidao sighed.
Those princes don't have a good thing, whether it's Li Zhi, Li Chengqian, or Li Tai, it's not a good thing.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you come or not!" Qin Huaidao shook his head and smiled bitterly, then sat there, holding the book and reading it.
Wu Mei saw that Qin Huaidao didn't speak, and also sat there and watched.
In the evening, Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Zhihei came over, and Qin Huaidao arranged for them to dine at the house.
After the meal, they moved to the living room and sat down, and the maids brought tea.
"I just received the news, the head of the Cui family, the head of the Zheng family and the head of the Lu family all arrived in the capital in the afternoon, and the heads of several other families are also on the way, this time, these heads of the family are coming for you!" Yu Chi Baolin sat there and whispered to Qin Huaidao.
When Qin Huaidao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at them with a smile and asked, "The head of the family has all appeared?" ”
"Don't show up yet? This matter is so big, it is not possible that within a few years, those low-level officials above the court will be replaced by His Majesty! Cheng responded with a smile.
"They came to talk to you, and I don't know what they would say, to make you give up printing, I don't think it's possible, and you don't dare, Pepin, but, what did they come to talk to you about? Will the two sides die down in the future? Or are they going to salute first and then soldiers? Yu Chi Baolin looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Well, it doesn't matter, since it's released, all kinds of possibilities, the little brother also expected it!" Qin Huaidao smiled, it really didn't matter.
"Yes, but now the people of Chang'an City are looking forward to your books coming out.
There are millions of people in Chang'an City, and many of their families are good, but they can't read without books.
If you really want to release the paper and books, I believe that within a few years, the number of people participating in the imperial examination in Chang'an City will skyrocket, which is very beneficial to the court! Cheng Chuji looked at Qin Huaidao and nodded and said.
"Well, don't talk about this, these days, you choose a piece of land on the east side of the paper mill, about one or two hundred acres, report it to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty reward us.
Then we started to build a new printing plant, and when the time comes, we will print over there, and after the approval is completed, come to me to get the construction drawings, the drawings are what I just drew today, hurry up and build it! Qin Huaidao said to them.
"Understood, but, on the royal side, who cares?" Cheng Chuji nodded, looked at Qin Huaidao cautiously and asked.
"Yes, now they are all fighting for this, you don't know these days, the prince's people and the people of King Wei are constantly giving His Majesty a chapter, waving their flags and shouting for them, hoping that one of the two of them will supervise this paper mill,
Among them, King Wei's people shouted the most, and the prince's side were all petty officials, which is strange! Yu Chi Baolin sat there, looked at them and asked.
"I guess, it's still His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" Zhang Liang's son Zhang Shenzheng whispered.
"I also feel like this, I guess it's still His Royal Highness King Jin, but these days, why hasn't His Royal Highness King Jin come out?" Liu Hongji's son Liu Renshi also nodded approvingly and said.
"No matter who it is, anyway, we can do our own thing, no matter who he is, can he stop us from building a factory?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, and estimated in his heart that this matter was eighty percent of Li Zhi.
"That's not necessarily, if King Wei is to supervise it, our factory, don't think about building it until this time next year!" Duan Zhan, the eldest son of Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Baoguo, shook his head with a smile and said.
"That's right, if King Wei is to supervise it, this thing can't be done!" Yu Chi Baolin also nodded in agreement.
"Is it possible? Your Majesty will let him supervise it, and Your Majesty is more concerned about this matter than anyone else! Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically, and they laughed.
And on the side of His Majesty's Ganlu Palace, His Majesty is also worried, and the people on the side of King Wei have come over with a large number of concerts, hoping that King Wei can supervise this printing house.
And on the prince's side, none of the officials above the fourth rank have been on the chapter, not a single one, that is, the prince has not said anything about it in the study that day, and he has not said that he will supervise it!
"Hmm~" His Majesty sat there and sighed, and his heart was also hesitant.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong asks to see you!" A eunuch came in and said to His Majesty,
His Majesty immediately asked the eunuch to call in, and after a while, the eldest grandson Wuji came in.
"Your Majesty!" After the eldest grandson Wuji came in, he bowed to His Majesty first!
"Come, sit!" His Majesty smiled and nodded.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, sat down.
"Is there something going on?" His Majesty asked the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.
"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that the prince went to the mansion of Hu Guogong, and the minister just went to the East Palace, and the prince said that he talked to Qin Huaidao and apologized to Qin Huaidao.
I heard that Qin Huaidao personally sent the prince outside the mansion! The eldest grandson Wuji sat there, looking at His Majesty and said.
"Oh? Went to apologize? Gao Ming went in person? His Majesty was a little surprised when he heard it, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"Yes, I went in person, I asked the prince, and the prince said that Pepin's hospitality to him was still good, Pepin said that everything has passed, let him go if it is over!" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and nodded.
"Hmm!" His Majesty nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked: "In the past few days, many ministers have written to Qingque, hoping that Qingque will supervise this printing house, what do you think?" ”
"This, minister, I still hope that the prince will supervise it, and the king of Wei will supervise it, it's not impossible, it's just that the printing house is very important.
And what Boping said that day was also very clear, this matter was related to the mouthpiece of the court, and it was more appropriate to let the prince supervise it.
Besides, if this matter is not supervised by the prince, the minister is worried that the prince and His Majesty will have a new life, which is not good! "The eldest grandson Wuji still supports Li Chengqian as always,
After all, this is the eldest son of his sister, and he also hopes to help him ascend to the throne and ensure the prosperity of his family.
"Well, I am also in this consideration, and I have not been able to decide, before I was worried that it would be difficult for the two of them to work together because of their conflicts, but now that Gao Ming has gone to Qin Huaidao to apologize, I am not worried!" His Majesty nodded and spoke, with the meaning of letting the crown prince supervise the matter in his tone.
"This is the best, the prince has been much more sensible recently, and the minister is watching, the prince also has the will to reform himself!" The eldest grandson Wuji continued to look at His Majesty and persuade.
"Well, I know!" Your Majesty nodded,
The eldest grandson Wuji chatted here for a while, and then left,
His Majesty sat there, holding the piece and watching.
Those cantata were all written by people from King Wei's side, hoping to let King Wei supervise them, but His Majesty's mind was not on the recital.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin is here! Say it's time for you to check his homework! The eunuch came over and whispered to His Majesty.
"Oh, let him in!" His Majesty heard it and said happily.
Soon, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, entered the Ganlu Palace, and after saluting His Majesty, he handed over the homework he had written, and His Majesty looked at it carefully.
"Well, yes, the impact of the appearance of this printing technology on the door valve family is well analyzed!" His Majesty saw the homework written by Li Zhi and was very satisfied,
This was specially instructed by His Majesty to write it yesterday, and His Majesty also planned to let Li Zhi supervise this printing house at the beginning.
"Father, the son has the courage to ask his father for one thing!" Li Zhi stood there and said to His Majesty.
"Well, you say!" His Majesty was still reading what Li Zhi wrote, and subconsciously said.
"Erchen hopes to be able to supervise this printing house, Erchen and Peping are familiar with each other, and Erchen is also managing the paper, Erchen estimates that Peping also wants Erchen to supervise.
This printing technique was made by Pepin, and as Pepin's friend, Erchen has the responsibility to help Pepin bear all kinds of things that may happen later! Li Zhi stood there and said to His Majesty.
Li Zhi waited in the palace for three days, just hoping that His Majesty would agree to give it to himself.
However, it has been three days, and His Majesty has not yet spoken, which makes him wait a little anxiously.
And now he has heard the news, the prince went to find Qin Huaidao, Li Zhi is worried that this matter will be handed over to the prince to do, and he is also worried that Qin Huaidao and the prince are too close.
Li Zhi is very aware of the weight of Qin Huaidao, he does not only represent a Duke of Hu, but also seven or eight military generals and princes, this force is very powerful,
It's just that he won't say who he supports with this force, but as long as they don't oppose anyone, it is support, if Qin Huaidao doesn't oppose the prince, it will be equivalent to supporting the prince.
