Chapter 213: Are You Sure You Can Do It? (1 more)
"I thought ???" Almost instantaneously, Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan said in surprise.
Then, they all turned around in unison, stretched their necks forward in surprise, and stared at Li Yi, who was close at hand.
"Well, I thought of it!" Li Yi replied with a smile and nodded.
It's just that when he saw that the distance between the two of them was too close, almost face to face with Li Yi, Li Yi hurriedly took two steps back.
"Wei Xianggong, Young Eunuch Yu, why are you ...... Staring at the subordinate like this? Li Yi made a joke and said, "Xiaguan is not a beautiful young woman..."
"......" Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan suddenly noticed their misdemeanor, quickly retracted their expressions, and took two steps back slightly, keeping a certain safe distance from Li Yi.
lest Li Yi play this kind of joke with the two of them again because he got too closeβit was not fun at all for the two of them, and it was also very 'deadly'.
After all, Li Yi is not married yet, but both of them are already family members, and they can't be compared with Li Yi at all.
This kind of joke is even more unbearable for the two of them.
"Ahem......" used an embarrassing cough to hide the embarrassing atmosphere, Wei Zheng forced a smile and asked curiously: "Li Micheng, what is your idea, hurry up and come to the old man to listen." β
"Yes, I will listen to it too." Yu Shinan followed and inserted a pole on the side, so as to get rid of the previous embarrassing scene.
"Okay." Li Yi nodded and smiled, and took the paper in Yu Shinan's hand.
At the same time, he picked up the paper he had just transcribed and placed it in front of the two of them, Li Yi said, "Wei Xianggong, Yu Shaojian, or the words of Yu Shaojian before, does the handwriting on these two pieces of paper look like?" β
"Like, how can it not be?" Yu Shinan immediately spoke up, and said with a pleasant smile, "This character, but it took a long time for the official to finally imitate it. Li Micheng, your special font is not difficult to imitate......"
If you talk about anything else, Yu Shinan may not be very interested, but if you talk about calligraphy and poetry, it is simply a sleepy pillow for him.
After all, he Yu Shinan has no other hobbies, but he has a lot of research on calligraphy and poetry, and his reputation is not small.
As soon as he talked about calligraphy, Yu Shinan was full of excitement, and spit to explain to Li Yi how he imitated Li Yi's calligraphy, how unique the calligraphy he had never seen before, and so on......
Yu Shinan seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and talked to Li Yi endlessly, regardless of whether Li Yi wanted to listen to it or not, whether he was happy to listen to it or not.
However, Wei Zheng on the side, seeing that Yu Shinan was like a psychopath, immediately glanced at him angrily, and then glanced at Li Yi again, and began to frown and think deeply.
After immersing himself in kung fu for a while, Wei Zheng's mind suddenly thought of an extremely possible idea!
"Li Sanlang, what do you want to say...... Can we use engraving printing to quickly compile these two fables? Wei Zheng suddenly blurted out.
Li Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and immediately gave a thumbs up in his heart, and secretly praised, "Wei Xianggong, sure enough, it's Wei Xianggong!" β
He was just a little hint, and Wei Zheng had already thought of the level of printing.
"Exactly, Wei Xianggong." Li Yi smiled and nodded, and didn't bother to take care of Yu Shinan, who was spitting, but picked up the two pieces of paper in his hand and said seriously, "The number of words in these two fables seems to be not much, but if we use manpower to transcribe them, it will inevitably be time-consuming, laborious and laborious, but if we use printing, we can save a lot of time, and the speed of compilation is also fast." β
Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Li Yi said was indeed a good idea.
But then, Wei Zheng made a difficulty, and his eyebrows also frowned.
"Li Sanlang, you also saw it." Pointing to the paper in Li Yi's hand, Wei Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This paper absorbs ink and eats shallowly, if you use printing, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." β
Although at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was already engraving printing, but the quality of its printing was not good, and the effect of eating ink was not good, and the waste of materials and manpower, the Tang people have always believed that it is better to copy by hand, cheaper.
Therefore, the entire secretary of the province has hardly ever used engraving printing to compile it.
It's not that Wei Zheng never thought of using this method, but the technology of engraving printing is really not good-looking.
What's more, the compilation of these two stories represents the face of the saint, and he has to think about it thoroughly.
Li Yi naturally also knows the problems of engraving printing at this stage.
"Wei Xianggong, you can rest assured that you will hand it over to the lower officials." Li Yi shook his head and smiled slightly, patted his chest, and said seriously, "Let the lower officials solve these problems." β
"Li Sanlang, are you sure you can do it?" Wei Zhenghu asked with a suspicious frown, his face extremely disbelieving.
"It should ...... It works. Li Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded in reply.
Seeing that Li Yi's answer was a little hesitant and not very sure, Wei Zheng pondered for a while, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, then let's make two preparations." β
"Li Bo'an, you can give it a try." Wei Zheng first instructed Li Yi, and then instructed Yu Shinan, "Young Eunuch Yu, you should order someone to start compiling immediately, remember, pay attention to the order of typesetting." β
"Yes, Wei Xianggong!" Yu Shinan, who was explaining to Li Yi, saw that what he and Li Yi said were not on the same topic at all, so he had to stop quickly and surrender his life with Li Yi.
Subsequently, Yu Shinan copied it, took Li Yi's handwriting, left one of his own to Li Yi, and turned away.
"......" Li Yi was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that he, Yu Shinan, would be such a person.
However, the time was tight at the moment, and Li Yi didn't bother to deal with Yu Shinan, but immediately ordered an official to take out the engraving printing plate.
Li Yi watched the official do it, and sure enough, as Wei Zheng said, the engraving and printing technology is shallow, and the things that are compiled are indeed not very attractive.
Li Yi suddenly wondered in his heart, since this thing is so bad, how could it be invented?
He didn't believe that the method that the ancestor had come up with with experience would be so unbearable.
"Let's take a look." Slowly squatting down, Li Yi took a serious look at the engraving, looked at it carefully, and then began to do it himself, brushed the ink word by word, and began to rubbing.
Sure enough, the rubbing effect was very bad, and the handwriting on the paper was a little blurry.
"Li Micheng, you also saw it." Seeing this, the official said helplessly, "The quality of the book printed by this thing is not good-looking, if you want to use it to print, I am afraid that ...... It's a little difficult. β
Li Yi nodded, waved his hand to signal him to get busy first, half-squatted in place alone, and muttered for a while.
Li Yi found that there was indeed a big problem with this engraving printing plate.
But what if it was replaced with bamboo slips for compiling books?
The effect is ...... Will it be different?
What's more, the number of words in these two fables is not very many, but if they are replaced with bamboo slips, it will save a lot of trouble, and it may be able to solve the urgent need.
Now that time is pressing, Li Yi decided to give it a try immediately as soon as he thought of it!
Wu stood up from a squatting position, Li Yi rushed to Huang Ruiwei outside the door, and shouted: "Commander Huang, please find a group of craftsmen, by the way, find some more bamboo slips for compilation." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Li Micheng, the next official will go. Looking at a carved printing plate in front of Li Yi, although Huang Ruiwei didn't know what Li Yi thought, he didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around and ordered someone to find it.
Huang Ruiwei's work efficiency is very high.
It didn't take long for him to find a group of old craftsmen, as well as bamboo slips specially used to weave, about dozens of bundles.
At a glance, it is clear that these bamboo slips are excellent materials for compiling books.
"Li Micheng, the bamboo slips and people have been found." Huang Ruiwei saluted Li Yi respectfully, and when the rest of the craftsmen saw this, they also hurriedly saluted, a little trembling.
"Well, I'm in trouble, Commander Huang." Li Yi smiled and nodded, then turned his eyebrows to look at the group of craftsmen who came forward, waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to be polite, and they didn't bother to have too much ink, so they asked straight to the point: "All craftsmen, masters, I don't know you, but you can carve?" β
When all the craftsmen heard Li Yi's words, they all felt a burst of panic in their hearts, and they hurriedly buried their heads and stared at their toes without squinting.
Since ancient times, the status of craftsmen has been low, so many craftsmen do not have the self-confidence to raise their heads rashly.
What's more, the place where they came today was not elsewhere, but the secretarial province, the secret place of the imperial court.
And at the same time, they also saw the engraving on the ground, and they thought in their hearts that Li Yi ordered someone to come to them to ask them about their guilt, and they were so scared in their hearts that they couldn't do it.
"Back to the secret." The craftsman at the head of the group, seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, he had to hurry up and answer honestly: "The villain and others, although they will carve a little bit, but I am afraid that the carving quality of the villain and others is not good, and it will delay Li Micheng's major event, and please ask the secretary, let the villain wait to go back..."
"Please let the villain go back later......" The originally silent crowd immediately responded and kept pleading.
Seeing them so frightened, Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Craftsmen, you don't have to worry so much." Li Yi sighed helplessly, and then said, "Today, I didn't come to you to ask for guilt, but wanted your masters to help carve something." β
Didn't you ask for sin? Rather carved things?
As soon as they heard Li Yi's words, the sense of crisis in everyone's hearts gradually disappeared a lot, and the original heart that had been worried about it gradually let go at this time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the engraving on the ground, and then looked at a bamboo slip that had been moved, and all the craftsmen understood it at this moment.
"The secret man just orders, the villain and the others must die!" The craftsman at the head immediately made up his mind, and the rest of the craftsmen immediately followed.
They didn't want to offend Li Yi, after all, in the palace, even if it was a small father-in-law, it was not something that their craftsmen could afford to offend.
The status of the craftsman is low enough to show the general.
"There's no hurry." Li Yi waved his hand, handed the paper he had taken out before, handed it to the master at the head, and instructed, "You first use bamboo slips to carve a copy of these characters, and then use them first to see the effect." β
"Yes, Mi Cheng." The craftsman did not dare to delay, took the paper, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and took the things out of the toolbox together, and began to work on the spot.
β¦β¦
And at this moment, the imperial study of the palace, at the entrance of the main hall.
Li Lizhi returned to the palace on the front foot, so she immediately instructed Linlang to stop Gonggong Gao outside the door of the imperial study, and without her signal, Gonggong Gao was not allowed to return.
In the main hall, Li Lizhen was standing behind Li Shimin.
While gently pinching Li Shimin's shoulder, Li Lizhi tilted her head and leaned forward, and asked Li Shimin with a smile: "Father, how is it?" Xiao Wu's massage skills...... Not bad, right? β
"......" Li Shimin's heart was a little crying and laughing by Li Li's quality, and he nodded and praised, "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Wu's craftsmanship has grown recently." β
"Hehe, that's, don't look at Xiao Wu, whose daughter is it..."Li Li smiled proudly, and continued to curry favor with Li Shimin with a princess who was obedient and boastful.
How could Li Shimin not know that little bit of caution in Li Li's heart?
Isn't it just that I'm afraid that I'll scold her and deliberately come to please him......
To be honest, with such a caring little padded jacket, Li Shimin was really reluctant, so he asked Li Lizhen to marry so quickly, and the person who married was Li Bo'an.
"I really don't know where Li Bo'an cultivated the blessings in his previous life, and he actually stole my little five's heart!" The more he thought about it, the more jealous Li Shimin's heart became.
But seeing that Li Lizhi was so well-behaved and flattering, Li Shimin didn't bother to care.
After a long time, he had had enough of Li Shimin's massage, so Li Shimin waved his hand, pulled Li Lizhi down and sat down, and said: "Little Wu, let Grandpa Gao come in, in the future, don't come here like this nonsense!" β
"......" Seeing that Li Shimin saw through the scheme, Li Li pouted and smiled, shook her head pretending to be ignorant, and denied it, "Father, my son is not." β
"Really?" Li Shimin asked in disbelief, and his heart rose to tease Li Li's quality.
"Of course not, son...... The sons never deceived their fathers! Li Lizhi was talking nonsense seriously, and her cheeks didn't know how to blush.
Seeing that Li Lizhi was so quibble, and even stammered a little when she spoke, if Li Shimin didn't know that she was lying, he would really be a father for nothing.
"That's it, you little girl, my father won't bother with you this time." Li Shimin hooked Li Li's nose.
But at this moment, the voice of Gonggong Gao suddenly sounded outside the door: "Sage, Young Eunuch Yan asks to see you." β
"......" Li Lizhi twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.
