Li Jie asked, "How should I control the Three Towns!" Liu Qi said, "If His Royal Highness goes alone, I am afraid that he will become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if he brings people and horses, it cannot be less than 100,000." But the problem is to find these 100,000 soldiers there! Li Jie replied, "I have soldiers and horses, more than 10,000!" There are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in a valley in the northeast, and nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei! The three of them were shocked, "His Royal Highness has already prepared!" Li Jie replied, "The soldiers and horses here are from the Wuxun family, and the soldiers and horses in Shanxi are from Xue Liang!" Wang Yue said, "How can the Wuxun family obey His Highness's orders, His Highness must not rely too heavily on Wuxun." Li Jie smiled, "The martial arts family was selfish at the beginning, but I have something worth 100,000 soldiers." The Wuxun family has been completely subdued by me and used by me, and what I am thinking about now is when to leave Chang'an! Han Fei said, "Your Highness, opportunities can be met but cannot be sought, so you can only wait patiently!" ”

Li Jie could only nod helplessly and change the topic: "The three gentlemen are all from poor families, I don't know how to do it?" Wang Yue replied, "Actually, I am not a real poor family, and my family has some assets." It's just that books cost a lot of money, and a book needs more than five taels of silver, and although we and others have some money at home, the three of us can only buy books and copy each other. This is to mention the engraving printing technology of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, engraving and printing played a major role in the spread of culture, but there were also obvious shortcomings: first, engraving was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and it took a long time and a lot of wood to engrave a book. If it is a huge tome, it will take several years or even longer, and the engraved book plates are not easy to store. Second, if there are typos and sentences in the engraving, it is also difficult to change. Moreover, if the published books are not reprinted, a large number of engravings will become waste. In order to print a new book, it is necessary to engrave it from the first page to the first edition, which also causes the cost of the book to remain high. The high cost of books has caused poor families to be unable to afford books and cannot conduct scientific examinations, which also allows the family to monopolize the imperial examination.

Li Jie was walking around the room with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked a clueless sentence: "Do you know what is the most terrifying?" The three of them looked at each other and replied, "I don't know!" Li Jie said, "Get used to it! Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Li Jie said again, "Once people form a habit, they think that everything should be like this, and never think about why it is so, whether there is any other possibility." Take the book as an example, now the whole page of the book is engraved and then printed, which is time-consuming, laborious and costly, but if we turn the carved plate into a square, the board is still a board, but the words can be freely combined, in this way, the cost of printing is not down, and the cost is not expensive! "Quiet, absolute silence, shock, absolute shock. The trio never imagined that the solution would be so simple. But it's not over yet, Li Jie went on to say, "Habit kills people, in the past, people carved vertically on bamboo slips and wooden tablets, just because it was so convenient, and because it was not easy to engrave, so the ancients tried to use the shortest words to express the meaning of this sentence." But why do you still write vertically when you have paper? Why write a book in short sentences? One is habit, and the other is selfishness. The first is habit, and the second is that the family is so artificial in order to monopolize it! A gentleman has six arts, but how many people will read today! Confucius has students from all walks of life, but what about today's scholars! The artificial monopoly has created the control of the country by the family, and they have elevated the status of scholars and belittled the industrialists, industrialists and peasants, but why did people still not react to it! Or habit! Terrible habits! When people get used to it, they get used to it, and they don't even think about why they write it that way, why they can't write it in the vernacular, why they can't write it horizontally. Why should people who read books be superior? And the reader reads every day from top to bottom, and you don't look like you're nodding yes, you're right. It's a terrible habit again. It doesn't work for a year or ten years, but what about after a hundred years? When later readers read this book, have they silently taken the content written in the book as a wise saying, even if this book is nonsense, some people will believe it, why, the subtle habit is still a terrible habit! And when people are used to anything and never think about it, then blind obedience arises, because people are used to everything being like it was before, and everything should be like this. Habits make people forget to question, habits make people forget to think, habits make people forget to oppose, habits make people forget to persevere. So, I! Li Jie! Decision! All the books in my Datang should be written horizontally from left to right, and all the books issued outside Datang should be written vertically! “

The three of them were shocked! Completely blindfolded! This is not enough, Li Jie, who took a sip of tea, bit his mouth, "When everything becomes a habit, people will not think about why Kong Ming lanterns can fly, and whether they can also let people fly up." Why can the waterwheel be driven by water and people, and whether it can be driven by wind. Why plough the land only with oxen, why not try it with horses. Habit! Or habit! Because that's what people used to do, when people with ulterior motives took advantage of these habits and monopolized resources, people would think that this was the way before, and the wealth of power was concentrated in the hands of a few. And power and wealth, in turn, make these people even more greedy! The dynasties have changed, and the family has to bear a lot of responsibility! And in the case of Huang Chao, habit will kill him in the end, because many rebels before him did the same! And almost all of the successful rebellions have jumped out of the cycle of habit! And I will innovate, I will take out a lot of silver to innovate! I would encourage everyone to innovate! Even if he's a cook and a butcher! Try! Only trying is the truth! ”

Wang Yue and the three of them were completely shocked, they had never thought about this, they had never thought that they had been living in a habit all along. Li Jie finished flickering and found that the expressions of the three of them seemed to be stunned, and he was very depressed, could it be that he failed to flicker this time! When he was depressed, he only heard Zhao Fei shouting, "I figured it out!" I figured it out! He ran out dancing. Looking at the stunned Li Jie, Wang Yue and Liu Qi arched their hands, "Your Highness, I am ashamed!" We are willing to follow His Highness to revive the Tang Dynasty! Li Jie pointed to the door, "Brother Zhao, why is this so!" Liu Qi said with a smile, "Actually, Brother Zhao prefers the number of things, and there are always some strange questions to ask!" I'm so annoyed! At this time, I saw Zhao Fei rushing in, "Your Highness, is movable type printing really feasible!" ”

Movable type printing is one of the four great inventions of the Han working people in ancient China. It began with the engraving printing of the Tang Dynasty, and was developed and perfected by Bi Sheng in the era of Song Renzong, resulting in movable type printing. The invention of movable type printing was a great technological revolution in the history of printing. The method of movable type printing is to first make a single word of the yang text reverse text mold, and then according to the manuscript to select the single words, arrange them in the word plate, ink printing, and then disassemble the word mold after printing, and leave it for the next typesetting to be used again. Li Jie took a book, cut out the words one by one with scissors, and then freely combined them on the table, and the three of them were stunned! Waiting for Li Jie to stop, the three of them gave up, "I am willing to follow His Highness!" Zhao Fei said, "Your Highness, can I go and study what I like!" Li Jie said, "Yes, I will fully support it!" Zhao Fei bowed deeply, "Your Highness Xie is complete!" Li Jie pointed to the piece of paper on the table and said, "When we have our own place, I will do my best to promote movable type printing, and I will also do my best to promote vernacular Chinese!" I will also promote Chinese pinyin, so that more people can read and write, and it is natural to read more books, and it is wishful thinking for the family to monopolize again! In addition, I will also use the study of things to increase food production and work efficiency. At that time, people will live in abundance, and the world will be the world of the people of the world! There will be no monopoly, there will be no secession. Datang will be even more glorious! The three of them knelt down, "We will go all out to glorify Datang!" ”

After fooling the three of them, Li Jie returned to the city again, and when he entered the mansion, a palace maid said, "Your Highness, Madame is invited!" As soon as I entered the nurse's room, my ears were grabbed by the nurse, "The nurse let go, it hurts!" ”

As soon as the nurse let go, "Your Highness thinks about it!" Li Jieyi, who looked at the nurse rubbing her ears, gritted his teeth, "Listen to the nurse's arrangement!" The nurse smiled, "That's right, running around with two girls all day long, no name and no share are not afraid of people's jokes!" Li Jie said, "Nurse, discuss something with you." The nurse said, "Your Highness, please speak." Li Jie said, "My arrangement a while ago doesn't work, the situation is not as simple as I thought, the thieves are getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid Chang'an City really can't hold it, you can retreat to the north of Chang'an with the Wuxun family." When the nurse heard it, "No, I'll go with Your Highness." Li Jie was helpless, "Okay, you tell your uncle to go to Huangzhuang after the autumn harvest!" The nurse nodded, "Got it." Out of the nurse's house, Li Jie walked unhurriedly in the yard, and it was July soon, Huang Chao killed the Yangtze River in July, and entered Henan at the end of October. Time was running out, all the preparations that needed to be made were made, and there was an army unexpectedly. What we need to do now is to reserve more supplies, especially gunpowder, which is a big killer weapon, must be prepared more. Li Jie suddenly remembered something and returned to the nurse's house, "The nurse asked, "Why did you come back again?" Li Jie asked, "I'm the envoy of Lu Longjie, but what about the paperwork?" The nurse said, "You are the envoy of the Lulong Festival, or the governor of Youzhou, these two documents should be in Zongzheng Temple." Why do you ask this? Li Jie said, "Since I am leaving, then I must be justified when I go to other people's territory, after all, I have received a holy decree!" Out of the house, Li Jie was in a good mood. Go to Zongzheng Temple to get the holy decree document. In this way, you have a signboard, as for people who are not convinced, it's simple, hit, fight until you serve! Tomorrow, I still have to enter the palace, go and fool the emperor, see if I can get some more benefits, if I can get Huainan nominally in my hands, it would be the best.
