Li Jingheng and the others stared at the big eyes like copper bells, looked at the small square lead word in front of them, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's it?"

They really don't understand, early in the morning, Li Yong yelled to buy a book printing workshop, just for this little lead? Yes, this little piece of lead does print, but so what? Wouldn't this be able to print? That's it? Wang Jiu'er and a group of stewards and craftsmen all looked at Li Jingheng and them in a daze, as if they were looking at a stupid bear with developed limbs and a simple mind, Li Jingheng and they scratched their heads in confusion.

"What's wrong? What kind of eyes are you looking at? ”

Li Yong patiently explained.

"This kind of lead type can be used repeatedly, and it is movable type, what book you want to print in the future can be directly arranged with movable type, so that you don't have to engrave every time like now, which is time-consuming and laborious, so with such lead movable type, it means that there will be more books printed and the price will be cheaper."

It is so easy to understand, Li Jingheng and Yu Chi Baolin finally understood what this lead type was for, but they still didn't understand the meaning of it, what about printing more books? What about the cheap price of books? Who would buy a book in a normal person? Who can read a book when the idle egg hurts? Therefore, Li Jingheng and they said in unison.

"That's it!"

For a while, even Li Yong was a little speechless, these guys with developed limbs didn't understand the meaning of movable type printing at all! That's a true feat that will go down in history! It is of great significance for the development of civilization! Suddenly, the calf hurriedly ran in and said urgently.

"Grandpa, the saint is here!"

Li Jingheng was immediately anxious when he heard this.

"Look, even the saints are here, you talk about you, just for such a small lead block to resist the decree and not enter the palace, this is a bad thing, the saints are looking for you to settle accounts!"

Li Chongyi said continuously.

"What can I do? Li Yong, you better hurry up and admit your mistakes! ”

Li Yong couldn't help but shrug his shoulders slightly when he heard this, he felt that Li Er was unlikely to come in person because of his disobedience, after all, the emperor was busy like a dog all day long.

He resisted the decree not once or twice, and the emperor was used to it, so it was impossible to come to him in anger and come to him to settle the account, take 10,000 steps back, even if the eldest grandson queen and her aunt came so that Li Er was a little irritable and wanted to settle accounts with him, it should be to let Li Junxian come to escort him to the palace, not to come in person, so Li Yong immediately thought of another possibility, Li Er probably knew from the servant who passed the decree that he was going to improve the printing technique, so Baba came running, it can be seen that Li Er still has a vision! Thinking of this, Li Er's face was still calm and composed, and he smiled lightly.

"The saint is coming, what's the panic?"

Li Jingheng and the others were stunned when they heard this, the saints all came to you to settle accounts, you still don't care, what do you want to do? Do you want to go to heaven? At this time, don't hurry up and go out to ask for sin, even the old god is still comfortable staying here, and he is not afraid that the saint will beat you! can't sit back and watch Li Yong being beaten by the sage, especially in front of the eldest lady of the Wang family, Li Jingheng and Zhang Zhilong are about to go out with Li Yong.

"What are you pulling me for?"

Li Yong asked speechlessly, what are you pulling for? What do you say you're pulling? Li Jingheng and the others didn't wait to speak, and then they saw the black and oppressive figure walking in, not only the emperor came, but also Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang and others, Li Jingheng They were immediately stunned, why did the emperor come to Li Yong to settle accounts with so many important ministers in the court? And why are they all Wenchen? Do you want these important ministers of the court to teach Li Yong the etiquette of the court? Wait a minute, that's not right! Looking at the emperor's face, it is clear that he is not angry at all! Not only did the emperor not look angry at all, but he looked at Li Yong with excitement and his eyes lit up, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and others all looked at Li Yong with bright eyes, Li Jingheng and they were all stunned, what is the situation? How is this different from what I expected?

"Meet the saints!"

"Meet the saints!"

……

"Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me!"

Li Er waved his hand very casually, but he kept staring at Li Yong without blinking.

"I heard you're going to improve printing? Are you sure? ”

Li Er couldn't wait to ask, and Li Yong nodded.

"Back to the saint, the minister did want to improve the printing technique on a whim, because he was addicted to this, so he couldn't enter the palace to meet the saint, and I hope the saint will forgive me, in fact, the minister of the literature Dacheng also made suggestions, although everyone said that the minister was the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the minister was far inferior to the Confucianism in the court in terms of knowledge, so there was no need to participate in the later ministers!"

Li Er waved his hand again and again.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy improving printing, and you're not thinking about it, how are you improving printing? Did it work? ”

Li Jingheng and Zhang Zhilong are completely dumbfounded, what is the situation? Can the resistance still make the saints happy? Li Yong nodded with a smile.

"Enlightened saint, it should be a success!"

"Succeeded? Really successful? ”

Wei Zheng stepped forward excitedly and couldn't wait to ask, and Li Yong nodded with great certainty.

"It did work, don't believe it, see for yourselves."

The craftsman next to him printed it again with a small lead block, and Li Er, Wei Zheng and others all gathered around and stared at it with burning eyes.

"Really, really printed words!"

Li Er said in surprise, and after the eldest grandson Wuji looked at it carefully, he groaned.

"It's just that the printing is not good!"

Li Yong explained with a smile.

"The ink of the printing is actually specially formulated, this ink is suitable for engraving and printing, and it is not suitable for this kind of lead type, so it is still necessary to prepare new ink, I asked the craftsmen, and they said that it is not difficult to prepare new ink."

Li Er and the others suddenly looked at the craftsmen next to them, but the craftsmen were already stunned, and when they heard the emperor coming, they were already trembling there, and they hadn't come back to their senses yet, Wei Zheng asked with a pleasant face.

"Are you sure that you will make a new ink so that the words printed in this lead type will be the same as those printed on the engraving?"

The steward trembled.

"Yes, yes, it doesn't take ten days to make the right ink for this kind of lead."

Li Er, Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when they heard this, and then they became excited and succeeded! Li Yong really succeeded! They thought about it carefully, such a small lead block can be assembled and arranged to print books!

"Good, good, good!"

Li Er said hello three times in a row, laughed, Wei Zheng looked at the small lead block in front of him, and asked curiously.

"How is this made?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"This is a secret, with such a printing technique, Li Yong's printing workshop will definitely be able to open the entire Tang Dynasty! Absolutely rich and rolling! ”

Wei Zheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, this is indeed a business opportunity with rolling money, with such a printing technique, who can compete in the whole world in terms of printing books Li Yong? Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang and others couldn't help frowning slightly when they heard this, Li Yong is trying to compete with the people for profit! I don't know how many people in the world make a living by printing books, what should they do? Li Yongdu is already rich in the world, why bother? Besides, this is a book printing, isn't it disrespectful to the sages to make money by printing books? After all, Li Yong is not a businessman, but the first genius of the Tang Dynasty! You have to persuade Li Yong, you can't let Li Yong go astray, just when Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda couldn't help but speak, Li Yong spoke first.

Li Yong said with a smile.

"I don't plan to open a book printing workshop, I want to make this movable type printing technology known to the world, in fact, it is very simple, it is carved on the copper plate as a template, and then the heat is burned into lead water and then poured on the template, and then it is slightly polished and corrected after cooling."

Li Er said with emotion when he heard it.

"It's so simple, why hasn't anyone found out before?"

Du Ruhan said with a smile.

"Yes, there are some things that I think are quite simple after I know them, but before I know them, I am afraid that I can't think of them even if I want to break my head."

Li Er couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"Well, who would have thought that lead would be enough?"

Kong Yingda said with emotion.

"Not to mention the use of lead, the minister has dealt with printing books in his life, but he didn't even think of the method of making movable type in this way, he is really pedantic and doesn't know how to be flexible!"

Wei Zheng bowed down very solemnly.

"The old man thanked you on behalf of the world's scholars!"

Li Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"No, no, I'm just a spur of the moment."

"Deserved, deserved, all the readers in the world, and all the readers since then should thank you! This is a feat that will go down in history, no less than Zhenguan rice and corn! ”

While speaking, Kong Yingda and Chu Suiliang also bowed solemnly, Li Er and Wang Jiuer were not surprised to see Wei Zheng and others bowing down, after all, Li Yong really deserves their thanks, but Li Jingheng and they were already stunned, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang actually bowed down to Li Yong? What's going on? That's Wei Zheng, it's Kong Yingda, it's Chu Suiliang! Speaking of which, Li Jingheng and the others are not afraid of a group of generals with tigers on their backs, but they are a little afraid of Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang, and they are like Confucians, with an old-fashioned face, they can spray you to death as soon as they open their mouths! Although Li Jingheng and they are rampant in Chang'an City, if they meet Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang, they will definitely take a detour, because they feel that Wei Zheng and they belong to the people who pick bones in eggs, and they stare at the wrong people every day, but they didn't expect them to bow down to Li Yong! Is it just because of this little lead word? It's a simple thing, it's nothing more than finding a copper plate to engrave a word, and then pouring lead water into it, who wouldn't do this? Will this go down in history? Is it so simple to go down in history? Li Er nodded approvingly.

"Yes, I gave some two surprises today!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er's eyes swept over Li Jingheng and the others, and said with a smile.

"You boys are also here, you have also helped with Li Yong, and you have all contributed to it, so you should be rewarded!"

Overjoyed, Li Jingheng and the others hurriedly greeted the salute in surprise.

"Thank you, saint!"

Speaking of which, they really didn't help Li Yong, but they still accepted it with a cheeky face, and the fool didn't accept it, anyway, Li Yong is their good brother, it is impossible to expose them, except for Li Yong, who knows if they have helped Li Yong or not, Li Er swept to the craftsmen next to him and said with a smile.

"You also have merit, and you also have a reward!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er's eyes couldn't help but fall on Wang Jiu'er next to him, when he came in, all his attention was on Li Yong and the lead block word, and he didn't notice that there was a beautiful girl here, and now he finally noticed Wang Jiu'er, so he felt very surprised, why is there a girl here? And this girl's family is from an extraordinary background at first glance, she is definitely a daughter, how can such a daughter appear in the new book workshop?

"Who is this girl?"

Li Er asked suspiciously, and Li Yong explained with a smile.

"This is the owner of this workshop."

The owner of the workshop? The owner of such a large book printing workshop is just a little girl? Li Er, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others were all surprised, Wang Jiu'er's elegant blessing.

"The daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family meets the saint!"

Taiyuan Wang's daughter? In an instant, Li Er knew who this was, Wang Jiu'er of the Taiyuan Wang family, this girl and Li Yong were a little involved! How could Li Yong be here with Wang Jiu'er? Li Er couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, he didn't care no matter how many concubines Li Yong had, because it couldn't pose any threat to Changle, but this Wang Jiu'er was a daughter of a family! And he was born so beautiful, Li Yong didn't want to be hooked up and run away, such a good son-in-law, it's no wonder that the family is not greedy.

Li Er said with a smile.

"It turned out to be the young lady of the Taiyuan royal family! Since you are the owner of this workshop, then you are also considered meritorious, what reward do you want? ”

At this moment, Li Er was a little hesitant in his heart, it stands to reason that he should give the workshop a reward, after all, movable type printing is available here, if it is not a reward, wouldn't it seem that he, the emperor, is too stingy? What will future generations think of history books? However, Wang Jiu'er is the eldest lady of the family, how can he reward him? The gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin are not seen by the eldest lady of the family at all, Wang Jiu'er smiled slightly.

"Rongfu Jungong improved printing technology for the sake of the world's scholars, so selfless, it makes people break their hearts, I just provided a workshop for him to experiment, how dare I take credit?"

Li Er said with a smile.

"Li Yong's improvement of printing technology is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, how can a certain person who is the lord of the Tang Dynasty be stingy with rewards?"

Wang Jiu'er was moved in her heart when she heard this, and said with a smile.

"Then ask the sage to reward a pair of calligraphy treasures of the Rongfu Jungong, I like the calligraphy of the Rongfu Jungong the most!"

"Okay, then let Li Yong write a pair of words for you!"

Li Er glanced at Li Yong and nodded, although he was very reluctant in his heart, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow.

"Each of the craftsmen will be rewarded with a hundred pieces of money!"

After Li Er finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside.
