Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wind Rises

"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Li Zhengong, the king of the Han Dynasty, is loyal to the country, diligent and pure, and appreciates a jade Ruyi, three silks, two silks, and silk...... Li Zhen transferred the printing affairs and coordinated the various ministries and departments to ensure that they were perfect...... 2,000 copies of the Analects, Mencius, and Shangshu were printed in advance, and they were to be completed before August 15. ”

What? It's not about playing the board but for the candy, well, which play is the old man singing? Halo, 2,000 copies, what can you do with such a small number? It's not enough for the local consumption of Chang'an, what kind of plane! Li Zhen knelt on the ground, and the more she listened, the more confused she became-it is said that the old man's reward is a good thing, but the strange thing is that the value of the print count is less than half of the reward given by the old man, Rao is Li Zhen's mind is clever, and he doesn't understand what the old man is going to do, the holy decree is finished, Li Zhen is still kneeling there in a daze, and even forgot to thank him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, Your Highness." Gao Yao, the inner chamberlain who came to announce the decree, saw that Li Zhen did not move, and hurriedly reminded him in a whisper, and finally woke Li Zhen up from his reverie.

"Minister's decree, thanksgiving, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Zhen hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, took the holy decree held in Gao Yao's hand with both hands, waved with a smile, summoned Liu Dequan, who had been waiting on the side, to his side, and said in a low voice: "There is Lao Gao's father-in-law, Liu Gonggong turned around and took the king's handwritten edict to the "Yan Ji Firm" to send the newly made complete set of furniture to Gao Gonggong, so that Gao Gonggong could try it. ”

The big guys are all understanding people, and naturally they all understand what Li Zhen means, Liu Dequan just nodded, nothing special said, but Gao Yao was so happy that he smiled, without him, Li Zhen's new furniture is now a hot item, a complete set of furniture can not be taken down without dozens of times, Gao Yao naturally does not need such luxury furniture, but casually changed hands, the person who rushed to ask for it was gone. This can be regarded as a heavy gift, Rao is Gao Yao often receives reward money on weekdays, but he has never received such a big gift at one time, and it is natural to be happy, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you are ......, alas, how can the old slave afford it?" ”

Hey, you're an old thing, you've long been used to taking money, and you're still embarrassed. Li Zhen despised Gao Yao fiercely in her heart, but said in her mouth: "It's okay, Gao Gonggong is well-informed and has a high vision, how can Xiao Wang's new products still give a suggestion after Gao Gonggong uses them, Xiao Wang is also good for people to improve, isn't it?" Oh, Gao Gonggong is willing to try it, that is a great favor for Xiao Wang. ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Gao Yao immediately got off the donkey, and smiled so much that the old face was full of chrysanthemums: "The prince's business is the old slave's business, if you can help the prince, the old slave will never give up, haha......"

Well, you've got your old money, so it's time to do it, right? Li Zhen laughed a few times, then lowered his voice and asked: "Father-in-law Gao, this holy decree ......" Gao Yao looked around, lowered his body, put his mouth to Li Zhen's ear, and whispered: "Lord, there is no score for the matter of governing the canon, these three books are just the same, you better hurry up, don't delay, or it will be difficult to explain if you don't go back to the saint." ”

, we don't bother to care about the canon, damn, this dead eunuch really thinks that Lao Tzu is going to fight for this book printing, well, the editor-in-chief hasn't been decided yet, hehe, it looks like the court will be lively for a while. Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, that's the case, thank you Gao Gonggong for mentioning it, Xiao Wang can just print books, and I don't understand anything else, haha, I'll see you back, Gao Gonggong is easy to go." ”

Gao Yao got great benefits, and naturally returned satisfied, but Li Zhen had a headache, not because of the small number of prints, in fact, as long as the court is willing to come forward, even if it is only one copy, it will be a victory for Li Zhen - this is a matter of righteousness, since the court has made a move, it means that the old man has approved the matter of the printing house, so that Li Zhen's business can be done boldly - helping the court to print books actually can't make a few dollars, and Li Zhen doesn't expect to live by relying on the work of the court, There are many places that can make money, not only Confucianism, but also printing Buddhist scriptures, articles of the times, etc.

Li Zhen actually doesn't want to care about such as governing the canon, who is the editor-in-chief, especially when the old man's holy decree has been in hand at this time, Li Zhen doesn't want to take any side with the matter of governing the canon, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, in the end, I am afraid that Li Zhen will not be able to help Li Zhen, who let Li Zhen make too much of a limelight today, this is completely Li Zhen's own fault, and now, Li Zhen has no choice but to take a step at a time, no, as soon as she receives the holy decree, Li Zhen can't even take a breath, As soon as he sent Gao Yao away, he immediately led people straight to the "Yan Ji Firm", convened a cadre of backbones, discussed countermeasures, arranged various preparatory tasks, and was so busy that he was dizzy, but fortunately, the "Yan Ji Firm" had prepared a large number of various necessities in advance, and was busy for an afternoon, and finally arranged everything to look a little different, but the sky was already dark.

"Your Highness, you can come back, the King of Yue, the King of Shu, the King of Liang, the King of Qi, and the King of Jiang have all sent people and left a post." As soon as Li Zhen returned to Min'an Palace, before she could sit down, the personal palace maid bell hurriedly greeted her with a stack of invitations. Damn, these dogs, their noses are very smart, it's only been a long time, and they've all jumped out, damn it! Li Zhen knew that his performance today would inevitably attract the attention of his brothers, but he didn't expect that it was only half a day later, and a group of brothers came to the door, and couldn't help but smile bitterly - what idea was what the brothers were thinking about Li Zhen could think of with his toes, there were a lot of things at this time, how could Li Zhen have the heart to pull and pull with that gang of sons, so he took the stack of invitations casually, didn't even bother to look at them, and muttered: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Go back and ask Li Dequan to send someone to the mansions to say that this king has a lot of things, and he can't spare time for a while, so he will have time to come back another day. ”

"But......" Bell was clearly not giving up, and tried to say something more. Well. Li Zhen was already tired and panicked, how could she have the leisure to explain more to a palace maid, her face sank, she waved her hand and said: "Needless to say, this king has his own ideas and will send this king's dinner." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The corners of the bell's mouth squirmed for a while, and at the end of the day, he still didn't have the courage to contradict Li Zhen, lowered his head and said yes, and exited the room, but when he turned his back to Li Zhen, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed a hint of strangeness......
