058 Li Tai's unexpected joy
Throughout noon, Comrade Li Xiaoer sat there all the time, and the people opposite changed and changed like a marquee, and there were more than a dozen ideas taken from him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The most intimate thing about the little second brother is that he will design different plans according to everyone's different situations, which is both reasonable and unexpected.
If every idea is really implemented in strict accordance with Xiao Er's arrangement, it will definitely be a big money deal, so that all the gentlemen will immediately raise the status of Comrade Li Xiaoer in their hearts to a higher level.
Li Chengqian was also the one who gained the most from this successful meeting, he had already received four or five orders here, and according to these orders, he had already earned four or five hundred taels of silver at this time, which was indeed a lot of wealth.
Xiao Zhengtai bared his teeth vigorously, as long as he saw the absolute sweetness of the little second brother, he was scared to think that he was driving a Tang prince crazy.
Some people are happy, some people are sad, the disciples of the generals and the prince have harvested, but the other princes are miserable. They are princes and must live in the palace, and they do not have the same conditions as the prince, they are in the East Palace, and many things can be handled by themselves.
So Li Tai is now pouting and depressed there.
Comrade Li Xiaoer is actually reluctant to have too much contact with Li Tai, mainly because the history books write that this talented guy is too vicious and does not conform to the aesthetics of Comrade Xiaoer.
"Little second brother!" You ignore him, but he will take care of you, Li Tai came to Xiao Er's side, looked at him with a resentful face, and screamed very sweetly.
"Stop, stop, talk well!" Xiao Er immediately called a timeout.
Li Tai was as good as a stream, and directly returned to a normal state and said: "Little second brother, you see that so many people have the idea of making money with you, and I want it too." ”
It's direct!
"Why do you want so much money for a little kid?" Xiao Er rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, you are not short of money, the emperor and queen will definitely not treat her son badly." ”
"Who thinks a lot of money!" Li Tai muttered, and then said, "I want money to do business." ”
"You've got something to do!" Li Xiaoer didn't believe it at all.
Li Tai immediately became anxious when he saw Xiao Er's expression, "Who said I don't have anything to do!" I'm sorting out the ancient books of the sages and preparing to come up with a set of books, but I don't have enough money in my hand, and the progress is slow, and it's been more than a year, and I haven't even sorted out the first one! ”
"You're sorting through ancient books?" Li Tai's words, even the second brother was a little shocked, how old is this child, he has this kind of thought, against God!
"Well, what's wrong?" Li Tai didn't know why Xiao Er was suddenly surprised.
Xiao Er had to hide his embarrassment, and said with a smile: "No, no, I just think it's strange, this is a good thing, why didn't Your Majesty support you?" Didn't even give you the least amount of silver? ”
Xiao Er is really curious, doesn't the history books say that Li Tai was deeply favored by Li Er and Empress Changsun before Li Chengqian's rebellion, and among the many princes, he is the most valued by Li Er.
Since Xiao Li Tai has such great ambitions, and it is a great thing, why didn't Li Er stand up and support it, it's not normal!
Of course, if the little second brother knew that His Majesty Li Er was in a state of anxiety now, he would not think so.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the Weishui Alliance just made with the Turks last year, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty and the inner treasury of His Majesty Li Er can be said to have bottomed out immediately.
Fortunately, except for the Turkic incident, Datang didn't encounter any trouble, otherwise Li Er would have to cry.
It's a good thing for Li Tai to sort out the books and recollect them, of course Li Er knows it. But if you want to do this, you can't spend tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In ancient times, it was not easy to repair and print books, as well as publish and circulate them. Ordinary people don't talk about it, but those wealthy families or big businessmen can't afford such expenses. Therefore, in ancient times, there were very few private books printed and sold, and they were generally sorted out and printed by the government.
The problem is in the finishing and printing. In ancient times, there was no search engine, and if you wanted to know any kind of information, you could find it with your fingers.
In this era, all the books were sorted out manually, page by page, and read word by word. Suppose the government wants to publish a book to persuade barley farmers and mulberries, then the previous preparation is to send a document to the local government across the country, telling them to transport all their books on crop cultivation and so on to Chang'an.
After that, the books will be shipped back in the first half of the year or more. It should be noted that most of the books are written in bamboo slips, not to mention the weight, the key is that transportation is a problem, these are the premises.
Once you have the book, you can start sorting it out. The problem is again, there are thousands of books shipped from all over the country, and to find out the useful ones from them, it takes a large number of knowledgeable people to operate them together.
There are few readers! Every few years before the founding of the new dynasty, it was definitely the most popular time for scholars, because the war caused a large number of scholars to be displaced, and the students who were studying also gave up their studies, and the imperial court could not summon so many people for a while.
It takes another half a year and a year, and only when there are people and books can we officially start work. Manpower is always limited, so many books have been sorted out, copied out, revised, corrected, and messed up anyway, and by the time a complete set of new books comes out, it is estimated that it has already passed three or five years.
This is the trouble of writing books, and then there is the trouble of printing books.
The first thing to do is to have paper and ink, followed by plate making. I won't go into detail about these things, everyone knows about ancient printing, think about why a brand new book is printed, often the scholars and literati at that time will cry bitterly, it's not easy!
The inheritance of knowledge is a sign of an era and a manifestation of the strength of a dynasty.
To sum up so many problems, in fact, the biggest problem is money! It takes many years for a book to be sorted out and published, and a little money can't do it.
Li Er has difficulties, Li Tai is ambitious, but they are all tied up by money.
Li Tai briefly talked to the little second brother about the problem, and looked at the little second brother with a blank eye, hoping that this man, who had been a god in his heart in the past two days, could stretch out his finger of gold and turn decay into magic.
To tell the truth, the little second brother was indeed moved by Li Tai's ideals, no wonder the Tang Dynasty will leave the most colorful stroke in the history books of the upper and lower 5,000 years, which can be seen from this Li Tai.
This favor should be helped, it must be helped.
Xiao Er scratched his head and said, "You convinced me, but this is not something that can be solved at once, wait for me to think about it." ”
Li Tai's expectant eyes obviously showed a little disappointment, but he didn't express it, and still saluted Xiao Er very respectfully: "Thank you, little second brother." ”
Xiao Er suddenly felt a little ashamed, how could his consciousness not be as good as this little guy. Thinking about it, he laughed at himself: "I am a prince, what am I?" Do you use it to worry about the country and the people? ”
That being said, it was really the first time in Xiao Er's heart that he felt a little proud of being a Tang Dynastyman.
Li Tai left, with a loss, Xiao Er didn't want to comfort him. People, it's definitely not a good thing to always have smooth sailing, and some rubbing is the best growth experience for the little ones.
At this time, Li Ke and Li You probably also saw Li Tai's disappointed look, and knew that it must be on Li Xiaoer's side that there was no good way, so they didn't bother him anymore, smiled from afar, and left.
Li Chengqian finally came out of the encirclement, smiled toothless, and rushed over to punch Li Xiaoer's arm, "You are still amazing, there are so many people who want to send me money all of a sudden, haha, happy, now the gifts of the father and the queen mother on the Shangyuan Festival have finally been settled." ”
Xiao Er rubbed his beaten arm and pouted: "It's like losing money, it's like the prince of a country!" ”
"That's not what I said!" Li Chengqian actually used the tone of the little second brother for the first time, and then learned from the second brother with his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly and said: "Although the money thing is called copper smelly copper smell, it has its role, just like this Shangyuan Festival, if there is no money, how can the imperial court organize the people of Chang'an to participate in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival." If there is no money, how can the soldiers at the border protect their families and defend the country, just say that your little second brother, isn't he also sparing no effort to find a way to make money? Why does everyone need money, and I, a prince, have become a money-seeker? ”
Xiao Er smiled, it seems that Li Chengqian has really opened his mind in the past two days, and he has spoken one by one, could it be that his domineering spirit has affected Xiao Zhengtai?
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he waited for the little second brother to praise a few words, but when he saw the little second brother looking at him with a blank look, he thought that the little second brother was going to reason with him again, and suddenly felt that this was not a good place, and before the little two reacted, he hugged his fists and quickly slipped back to the study hall in front.
After Xiao Er was narcissistic, he found that he and his three followers were the only ones left in the huge canteen.
It's a rare quiet time, Xiao Er is not in a hurry to go to the study hall in front of him, finds a table and sits down, takes a pen and paper, and begins to write and draw. Sometimes I feel that I can't write it right, so I start over and over again, and I write it again and again for a long time, and finally I see that my masterpiece is finished, and I smile happily, and when I get up, I find that my legs are a little numb.
At this time, the book had already been opened in front of him, so he didn't go in, but chatted with the three attendants outside without a word.
Knowing that the study hall inside was out of school, and after seeing Xiao Zhengtai and them come out, Xiao Er went to find Li Tai, handed him the things in his hand and said: "This is the way I want to go, I suggest that you better discuss it with your father first, this matter is not as simple as you think, before your father sees it, it is best not to show it to anyone, or I won't admit that I wrote it if it doesn't make a big trouble!" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Tai who was stunned, smiled slightly, caught up with Li Chengqian, and went back to the East Palace.
