Shaw House.

Today is the day of rest, and Li You came to the Xiao Mansion.

"Brother You, you're here." Seeing Li You, Xiao Wanyu said happily.

"Wanyu, is your grandfather here?" Li You asked.

"Where are you? Are you here for him? Xiao Wanyu asked a little unhappily.

"Baby, of course I'm here for you. But I'm going to talk to him about something by the way. Li You said with a smile.

"That's pretty much it. He's here, I'll take you there. Xiao Wanyu said.

"Grandpa, Your Highness is here." As soon as she entered Xiao Qian's courtyard, Xiao Wanyu shouted.

in the guest room.

"Your Highness, what are you looking for in the old minister?"

"Grandfather, look at this." Li You said.

The white tiger opened a box he had brought with him and took out a bunch of things from it.

Xiao Qian saw that there was a small box on the table, and inside the box were small wooden blocks, and the words on the top of the small wooden blocks were engraved, which were raised reverse characters. The whole piece looks like an engraving.

Printing in the Tang Dynasty was mainly engraving. Engraving printing first appeared in the Jin Dynasty, and the earliest forming engraving printing was born in the Tang Dynasty.

Engraving printing needs to first write the text on the paper according to the required specifications, and then paste it on the planed wooden board, and then carve the reverse character of the yang script according to the text, so that the engraving is done. Then the plate is inked, the paper is laid, and the paper is printed with a brown brush, and then the paper is lifted to become a print.

There are many advantages, but there are also characteristics such as difficult engraving, difficult to correct mistakes, and easy to damage.

Li You brought the movable type printing technology invented in the Northern Song Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty in advance.

Xiao Qian was very interested in movable type printing, and fiddled with it over and over again like a child, even with ink on his hands and even on his face.

When the old man finally had enough of playing and washed his hands and face, Li You talked to him about education.

He suggested the establishment of a specialized education institution to unify the education management of Datang.

Finally, he said, "Grandfather, I have a suggestion that I don't know if you can accept it. ”

Then he said his thoughts, Xiao Qian was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I agree." ”

Left the Xiao Mansion.

Li You came to the East Palace.

He talked to Li Chengqian about his thoughts. Li Chengqian said happily: "This must be no problem, I'll go to my uncle." ”

Then, the two left the East Palace together. When they were about to break up, Li Chengqian said: "After I finished talking with my uncle, I will send someone to inform you immediately." ”

Qi Wangfu.

Hou Junji said: "Your Highness, what are you looking for?" ”

Li You said: "Uncle Hou, I plan to go to the Western Regions in the near future, and you will leave soon." ”

Hou Junji said excitedly: "Okay, Your Highness, the minister hasn't fought for a day, and his bones are crispy." Don't you know, how uncomfortable is your heart when you suddenly don't go? ”

Li You said: "Uncle Hou, before leaving, I have something to tell you. ”

Hou Junji said: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Li You said: "I want you to resign from your position as the squire of the military department and the general of the right guard before leaving. ”

"This? Your Highness, why? Hou Junji asked puzzled.

Li You smiled and said, "Uncle Hou, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." ”

Hou Junji was overjoyed and said, "Your Highness, everything must be done according to your orders. ”

At this moment, Li Dezhi came, and he said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he has already negotiated with the eldest grandson. ”

Li You said: "Okay, I'll go to the palace to see the driver." ”

Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin's study.

"Father, my son plans to go to the Western Regions in the near future, and I have an idea I want to tell you before leaving." Li You said.

Li Shimin knew that as long as Li You made suggestions, he would definitely be able to bring benefits to Datang, and he said, "Say it." ”

Li You told him what he thought.

Li Shimin felt that there was no problem and said: "Tomorrow morning, we will discuss this issue." ”

The next morning, after the court, the two ceremonial halls, the study.

Li You's suggestion is that Datang has now entered a period of peaceful construction, and the status of education, industry and commerce should be further enhanced. He suggested that the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry (including industry, commerce, mining, etc.), and the Ministry of Urban Construction and Transportation should be set up, all of which are directly under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province and are lower than the six ministries of the imperial court, and belong to the second-level ministries.

Li You and Li Chengqian had already done everyone's work in advance, and Li Shimin himself was in favor of it, and it was passed smoothly.

This matter seems to be a very common thing, and it will definitely help Li You's status improvement. But that's not the point.

What happened next was dizzying.

The first thing was Xiao Qian, who took the initiative to find Li Shimin and asked to resign from the position of the right servant and become a full-time minister. That's a few notches in a row.

Then, Hou Junji went to Li Shimin, and he said that after the battle in the Western Regions, he wanted to resign from the post of the squire of the military department and the general of the right guard, and serve in the civilian system.

Soon, the imperial court issued a succession of personnel adjustments.

Xiao Qian resigned as a right-hand servant and became the Minister of Education full-time, and Kong Yingda served as the Vice Minister of Education.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, took over as the right servant.

Hou Junji succeeded the secretary of the ministry and retained the military status of the general of the right guard.

Li You concurrently served as Minister of Industry, and Wei Chi Baoqi served as Acting Vice Minister of Industry.

Li Chengqian concurrently served as Minister of Urban Construction and Communications, and Ma Zhou served as Acting Vice Minister.

These personnel adjustments are very knowledgeable.

The first is Xiao Qian.

This old man is upright, not round enough, and a little stubborn. Li You knows history. The eldest grandson Wuji has always wanted to be the right servant, but it was only because of the persuasion of the eldest grandson queen that he didn't do it.

Xiao Qian was dismissed for the sixth time in history, and this time he collapsed. The eldest grandson, Wuji, succeeded him.

Li You was worried that he would leave Chang'an, and the old man was plotted by the eldest grandson Wuji. So let Xiao Qian take the initiative to step back and make room for the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji has achieved his goal, and he will not go against Xiao Qian in the future.

In this way, Xiao Qian was preserved.

In order to divide the power of the military, Li Shimin asked Hou Junji to take over after the eldest grandson Wuji vacated the post of secretary of the ministry. As a result, Hou Junji was promoted from the squire of the military department to the secretary of the ministry.

A large number of people such as Wei Chi Baoqi and Ma Zhou have been promoted through this change. The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian and Hou Junji also received Li You's affection.

Li You did not recommend anyone for this personnel adjustment, but just relied on the original process of history and gently pushed it, which would not arouse Li Shimin's disgust.

It can be said that Li You won a big victory.

East Palace.

Li Chengqian was very excited, this time the personnel adjustment, the eldest grandson Wuji is his uncle, Hou Junji is his father-in-law, their status has risen, and his status as the crown prince has naturally risen. What's more, he also mastered the Ministry of Urban Construction and Transportation, a very large department.

He said, "Fifth brother, both my uncle and my father-in-law asked me to thank you. Thank you too. Hey, don't say anything, anyway, I remember what you mean to me.
