Chapter 503 Eight Years of Zhenguan
Time flickered, and Chinese New Year's Eve came.
Li Tai is busy in the printing house these days.
Before the Tang Dynasty, all the classics that were recorded and searched in the computer were printed into a book.
The collections sent by the Li family in Longxi were also reprinted.
Regarding the things that were rumored to be boiling in the outside world, Li Tai didn't pay attention to it.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Tai seems to be not in Chang'an City.
There is a feeling of hiding in a small building and becoming a unity, and he cares about spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The lights of thousands of homes are lit, and the sound of firecrackers in Chang'an City is heard from time to time.
Firecracker!
This is a real firecracker.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
Royalty gathered.
Some of the little imperial uncles and little imperial aunts that Li Tai didn't know also came.
Li Yuan is old and strong, basically he can add a few imperial aunts and uncles to Li Tai every year, it can really be said that he is the first man-type cannon in the Tang Dynasty, and he can fight wherever he goes.
After the royal dinner, Li Zhi, Li Su, Li You and other princes lit a fire plate outside the imperial dining hall, and threw the bamboo cut into the fire plate in their hands.
Because the two sides of the bamboo are naturally sealed, the middle is hollow, and when heated, it will explode and make a crisp sound.
In this era when gunpowder was banned, this was the original firecracker.
In the temple, the older people were still sitting, accompanying and chatting.
Men discuss national affairs, and women chat about trivial matters, and they have a good time.
Li Yuan is in the first place, looking like the head of the family.
Recently, life has been very smooth, and people are also in good spirits.
Li Shimin and others did it aside.
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Listening to the sound outside, Li Tai said lightly: "If you can use gunpowder, it will definitely be more lively, and you can't set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, it's always a little less interesting." β
Gunpowder fireworks, it is estimated that it will be a few years later, and that thing is now a special secret of the Tang Dynasty, and it is used to make explosives and shells.
"Such a beautiful day, Qingque, why don't you chant a poem?" Li Yuan looked at Li Tai and said with a smile.
"Although the green finch has a belly of scheming, but this poetry is full of songs." Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head.
"This poetry and song still makes Wan'er wonderful, what Qingque does is really hard to hear." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
Li Tai couldn't help but roll his eyes, are you still my mother? Is there anything like you?
"Wan'er, come." Empress Eldest Sun looked at Yan Wan with a smile.
Yan Wan responded, stood up, did not have any stage fright, spoke, and said, "Then I will be ugly." β
"One year old in the sound of firecrackers."
"The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu."
"Thousands of doors, thousands of pupils."
"Always exchange the new peach for the old one."
After Yan Wan finished speaking, she smiled slightly, and then sat down.
"Good!" Li Yuan laughed and said: "She is worthy of being the first talented woman in the Tang Dynasty, as soon as this poem comes out, no matter how many poems there are tonight, they will be overshadowed!" β
As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, some people who were eager to try couldn't help but sigh.
The Emperor Taishang said so, why did they speak?
"Qingque, I heard that you have been busy with printing recently?" Li Yuan asked.
"Hmm!"
"Qingque, you are the prince, you should have your own identity and status, don't mix with craftsmen every day and lose your identity." Li Yuan said earnestly: "Our Li clan has built a huge country, if you want to defend it, you have to rely on your descendants, I can't hand over the ability to govern the world to you, you have to see it yourself, and learn it yourself." β
"Books, it's still beneficial to read more, read more, and there will be nothing wrong with it." Li Yuan said.
"That's what my grandfather said." Li Tai said.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and began to preach again.
"Shimin, now you are the lord of the world, you must practice benevolent government, and you must care for the people."
"This spring is coming, and the people are about to start spring ploughing, so how are the new crops prepared?" Li Yuan asked.
"Father, rest assured, it only takes five years, no, it only takes three years, and the people of Datang have no worries about hunger!" Li Shimin said.
"In this way, my royal family will be famous in history, and there is no other in the world!" Li Yuan was very happy.
"Qingque, there is a princess sent to the Honglu Temple to kiss, what are you going to do with it?"
"Back to the emperor's grandfather, Qingque thinks that he should be thinking about this matter after the beginning of spring, and the most important thing now should be the matter of the Datang Reading Hall."
"You can distinguish priorities, grandfather is very pleased, my family has grown up."

Next.
New Year's Day.
The eighth year of Zhenguan has officially arrived.
Lee Tae came to this world for the third year.
Li Tai took people into the palace to ask for peace, and by the way, he fooled his father and mother to press the New Year's money.

Empress Changsun returned to Changsun Mansion with Li Tai and others, and the entire Changsun Mansion was very lively.

β¦β¦
Fifteen days later.
Chang'an City, there is a building in each of the four districts of east, west, north and south.
The building is made of wooden structure with glazed tiles.
It was no different from a normal building, but the papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows had turned into glass, glittering in the morning light.
Early in the morning, a large crowd was waiting.
It's bustling and lively.
Some hawkers saw an opportunity and dumped their belongings on the side of the road.
It's like a small bazaar.
These people, except for some merchants and nobles who watched the bustle, the rest were scholars dressed in coarse cloth.
Although he is wearing a patch, there is a hint of elegance in his gestures.
At this moment, the eyes are looking forward to it.
"Great, great! It's really great! In the future, we will no longer have to worry about wanting to read and having no books to read! β
"Your Majesty is benevolent and benevolent to the world, this is the blessing of the world's poor students, an unprecedented feat in ancient and modern times!"
"Your Majesty is really not expensive, he is the first emperor in the world, from now on, people in the world will no longer be afraid of no books to read, and people in the world can afford to read books."
"This is the act of Yao Shunyu soup, the act of a saint, and the act of a prosperous world!"
ββ¦β¦β
A large group of poor students were very happy.
"Hmph, I don't know if there are any books for you to read here."
"That's it, I think it's thunder and rain! How many books can the royal family have? β
"I don't think the royal family has so many books for you to read."
"Except for the "Three Character Classic", I don't think there are any other collections in it!"
"I'm afraid I don't even have that one, and some people will be happy when the time comes."
ββ¦β¦β
Some yin and yang strange voices rang out, and they were some scholars in brocade clothes.
Needless to say, these people are definitely people sent by the five surnames and seven wangs to investigate.
Hearing the words of these people, the faces of those poor students suddenly showed a look of worry.
If there are a few books in it, won't we rejoice in nothing?
It's in their own interests, and they have to worry.
