There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the Xuanzheng Palace.

Civil and military officials stood on both sides.

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair with a calm face.

He was just about to speak, and among the six departments, except for the old master.

The remaining five all stepped forward.

"Start the emperor, the ministers have something important to play!" The voices of the five were neat.

Oh?

Hearing this, Tang was stunned.

He looked at everyone vigilantly, this group of old things must not be well-intentioned.

Tang Shanhe, the head of the Ministry of War, was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, now that the land area of my Dayan is expanding, but the strength is somewhat insufficient, the old minister plans to expand two more armies, 200,000 people, please ask the emperor for permission, plus give the soldiers new weapons and equipment, about one billion taels of silver." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Guangkun, the minister of the ministry, also immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the ministry plans to improve the treatment of some grassroots officials, and it probably needs one billion silver, please ask the emperor for permission." ”

Tang Tiandao, the head of the household department, immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the household department needs to count the world's land and pay taxes, so it needs to go to various places for business trips, which will take about three years, plus it is also necessary to conduct a household census to resettle those who are homeless, so it also needs money, and it also needs a billion yuan." ”

Cang Lei, the head of the Criminal Department, said: "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department also needs money, whether it is your amnesty to the world, or the allocation of investigation funds to prevent the rebellion of the prefects and general soldiers in various places in advance, these require a lot of money, and they also need about one billion silver. ”

Wang Changlin, the head of the Ministry of Industry, sighed: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry also needs money, the Ministry of Industry did a good job of repairing bridges and paving roads last year, but this year's task is heavier, because we not only have to build bridges and pave roads, but also have to build Kyoto, transform Kyoto, these all need money, and need a lot of money, at present, the minister asks the court to allocate one billion taels of silver, these money is definitely not enough, and the court will definitely need to allocate again." ”

The five major halls bowed in unison, and their voices were neat.

Tang Tingbai looked at the five people with a faint smile on his face.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you Nanshan and West Lake would reach an agreement on this matter and cooperate."

As he spoke, Tang Tingbai looked at the civil and military officials with a smile.

"I know what you think, and I know that you don't want to let the nine-year compulsory education continue, because it's not a good thing for your family."

"But what I want to tell you is that I have saved face for your family, and I just plan to train a group of talents for Dayan, that's all."

"I'm going to show you something today."

As he spoke, Tang Tingbai waved his hand.

Zhao Zibed, one of the five generals, immediately walked in with a wooden box.

Tang Tingbai personally opened the wooden box.

Inside the box, there are countless small pieces of iron.

It looks dense.

This......

Everyone looked at these small pieces of iron, looked at each other, and they were a little puzzled.

"Master Zhang, you are well-informed in the household department, do you always know such things?"

"The old man doesn't know, isn't this iron? There are also inscriptions on the iron, but is there any use for this kind of thing? The old man can't understand it! ”

"Pay attention to it, since the emperor took out this thing, and there is something fearless, this thing must be useful."

“……”

The officials were talking, and their eyes were full of wariness.

Tang Tingbai looked at Su Zhen with a smile: "Prime Minister, do you know what this is?" ”

Su Zhen shook his head, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Lao Chen doesn't know, but Lao Chen thinks this thing must be of great use." ”

Tang Tingbai nodded: "This thing is called movable type printing, to put it bluntly, it is to print books, and it can print thousands or even tens of thousands of copies a day." ”

What???

Can you print thousands or even tens of thousands of copies a day?

How is this possible?

Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, the civil and military officials all widened their eyes, and even their breathing became a little heavy.

Even their first instinct is not to believe it.

How is this possible?

You know, even if it is their family, the collection is only a few thousand volumes.

Even in the library of the Imperial Palace, the collection of books is only 10,000 volumes, and there are many duplicates.

Tang Tingbai smiled and looked at everyone, and he knew that these people would not believe it.

"Prime Minister, I heard that you are outstanding in writing, and I hope you can compose a poem in the court."

"I'm printing in front of all the adults and showing you the speed, what do you think?"

Su Zhen's heart trembled, he knew that since Tang Tingbai dared to say this, he was sure.

Could this thing really print thousands of books a day?

Su Zhen couldn't imagine how these iron bumps did it.

After a moment of silence, Su Zhen raised his head.

"Since the emperor asked the minister to compose poems, the minister obeyed the order."

"All of the people present are my senior officials of Dayan, and the old minister has a few words he wants to say to all the officials, which can be regarded as a warning!"

Speaking of this, Su Zhen cleared his throat.

He is the prime minister of the day and the emperor's father-in-law.

With the blessing of dual identities, Su Zhen's right to speak is actually very important in the court.

When the emperor was not in Kyoto, he Su Zhen was the boss.

The only fly in the ointment is that Daji is not pregnant with a child yet.

In case there is only one dragon left, Su Zhen's position in the court will be even more stable!

After a moment of silence, Su Zhen slowly spoke!

"Honest and honest officials, ruling is the foundation of the Republic of China!"

"It is better to be poor and happy than to be rich and worried."

After speaking, Su Zhen looked at Tang Tingbai with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister's talent is limited, although this poem is not good, it can also alert all officials in the world!" ”

The rest of the civil and military officials also nodded in unison.

Say something flattering.

What a prime minister.

What prime minister's talent is unparalleled in the world.

What prime minister's talent is more than 500 years ago, and more than 800 years after that.

In short, it's just a sycophant.

Tang Tingbai nodded with satisfaction, this poem is not bad.

And it is so concise that even ordinary people can understand it.

Tang Tingbai looked at the box in front of him.

It took him nearly a minute to find the little pieces of iron for the words.

Lining them up, Tang Tingbai brushed a layer of ink on these iron blocks.

After that, I picked up a piece of white paper and put it on it, and then gently pressed it with a small roller.

In less than two seconds, it's done.

Tang Tingbai handed the paper to Su Zhen: "Prime Minister to see if the typesetting is neat and if there are any typos?" ”

This......

Su Zhen took the paper and was stunned.

The words on it, each one is very clear, and there is a faint fragrance of ink.

The hundred officials also came to Su Zhen's front and looked curiously at the handwriting on the white paper in Su Zhen's hand.

"It's so fast, it's just two breaths, and more than 20 words are printed, isn't it?"

"Look at the emperor's box, there are thousands of words, it probably covers all the words of my Dayan, right? As long as you find the words you need and arrange them well, you can print thousands or even tens of thousands of copies, and then print the next page, and then bind them, so it is not impossible to print thousands of copies a day. ”

"What's more, if the emperor has ten sets of such things, wouldn't the efficiency be even more terrifying."

“……”

The officials were talking, and their faces were full of shock.

And while everyone was talking, Tang Tingbai had already printed hundreds of sheets.

He handed a large stack of white paper to Zhao Zibed: "Zibed, send one of these things to each adult." ”

Zhao Ziji nodded immediately.

Tang Tingbai sat back on the dragon chair with a faint smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have the ability to print millions of books in a month and put them into the people of Dayan, you can imagine the situation of your family at that time, but I just thought about your family, and I didn't do that."

"I just want to open a few schools so that those students who want to learn can read and write, so that when they grow up, even if they are not officials, they can use the knowledge they have learned to shine in various industries in Dayan and make their own contributions, so that their lives can be better, do you understand?"

This......

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and none of them spoke.

It wasn't until this moment that they realized that the emperor still had a big killer like movable type printing that had not been released.

And today, the emperor released this kind of big killing weapon, and the meaning is also obvious.

I just don't want these officials to stop the nine-year compulsory education again.

If these officials still want to continue to stop it, with Tang Tingbai's character, they will definitely print millions of books and put them into the people, and at that time their family will really be finished.

After all, the people's lives are too hard, and they are too eager to change their fate.

With these books, even the illiterate people will try to learn how to read and write.

Thinking of this, the official looked at Tang Tingbai with some fear.

They really want to know, how many secrets does their emperor still have?

At this time, Su Zhen immediately took a step forward: "Your Majesty, nine-year compulsory education is beneficial to the country and the people, the old minister supports it unconditionally, and it is meaningless to allocate one billion taels of silver to the old minister!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the central general Zhuge Invincible also stood up: "2 Playing the emperor, the old minister also feels that the nine-year compulsory education is very necessary, and the old minister is also unconditionally supported. ”

Immediately afterwards, the six ministries and civil and military officials all expressed their support.

Seeing this scene, Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction.

These civil and military officials, they really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin.

If they don't show some hole cards, they really think they can't cure them!

Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walked into the Xuanzheng Palace: "Your Majesty, the caravans of Persia and Rome have entered Dayan Kyoto......"
