"Congratulations to the saint!"

Li Yong and Li Jingheng hurriedly saluted, Li Er walked a few steps as if he remembered something, stopped and turned around.

"Li Yong, you come with so-and-so, so-and-so still has something to ask you!"

Originally, Li Yong still wanted to stay and thank Wang Jiu'er well, if it weren't for Wang Jiu'er's presence, he wouldn't have come up with movable type printing so quickly, but since the emperor had something to ask him, then he naturally had to follow, the little eunuch came to pass the decree and he dared to refuse, but now the emperor spoke directly, if he refused again, maybe Li Er would kick him over directly.

"Thank you for your help this time!"

Li Yong said with a smile, in fact, Wang Jiu'er also felt very honored in her heart, after all, she was fortunate to participate in an incident that went down in history, but when she saw Li Yong's thanks, she couldn't help laughing.

"It's not okay to just talk about it, you still have to think about how to thank me!"

Li Yong felt a little headache while walking, how to thank Wang Jiu'er This is indeed a difficult problem, speaking of which, he still owes Wang Jiu'er a big favor because of Bai Diehua, and he hasn't paid it back yet, Li Yong is gone, Wang Jiu'er pouted slightly, a little stunned, how good it would be if the emperor didn't come!

"Miss?"

The steward asked respectfully, Wang Jiu'er came back to her senses and smiled slightly.

"You have all worked hard today, each person will be rewarded with 500 pieces, and the ink suitable for lead printing will be transferred out as soon as possible, and each person will be rewarded with another 500 pieces!"

Just now I heard the emperor say that each person will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and these stewards are very excited, and now when they hear the young lady say that they will be rewarded another 500 yuan, they are even more excited, or the young lady is generous! More generous than the emperor! Thinking that there would be a reward of five hundred times after the deed, everyone was suddenly full of enthusiasm, who still thinks that there is a lot of money, and finally there is an opportunity to make a fortune, of course, you must take advantage of it, and when she walked out of the book printing workshop, Li Er looked at Li Yong fixedly and asked.

"Why did you kid go to the workshop of the Taiyuan Wang family to experiment with movable type printing? Can't you buy a book printing workshop? It's really not possible to buy a printing workshop for you to test! ”

Li Jingheng couldn't help but shrink his head in fright after listening to it, if the emperor knew that it was the workshop he brought Li Yong to, would he just hit him with the board? Now he can only count on Li Yong not to confess him, otherwise, he will be miserable, Li Yong spread his hands.

"How do I know that the owner of this workshop is the eldest lady of the Wang family? I just found a workshop at random, who knew it would be such a coincidence! I also said I wanted to buy it, but they wouldn't sell it! ”

It turned out to be just a coincidence, but now Li Er felt a lot more relieved and instructed.

"Don't forget the reward you promised just now, just write a piece to her!"

In fact, Li Yong really wants to ask, what does the reward you promised to do with me Li Yong? However, thinking that he had just resisted a holy decree at that time, Li Yong felt that he still couldn't die like Lao Wei, after all, not everyone was as hard as Lao Wei.

"Obey the order!"

Li Yong bowed slightly.

"Are you okay now? Let's go into the palace with someone! ”

Li Er commanded.

"Ah, this, the Enlightened Sage, the minister really has important things to do, so the minister doesn't have to participate in this discussion, right?"

Li Yong coughed dryly, and Li Er asked with great interest.

"Oh? Do you have something to do? What is it? ”

What can I tell you? Li Yong coughed dryly.

"Well, the secret of heaven must not be revealed!"

If someone else said this, Li Er would definitely kick him to death, but it was Li Yong who said this, Li Yong who had just improved his printing skills! Li Er can't wait for Li Yong to be busy every day, as for the resistance, heh, can that be called a problem? Li Er's face was pleasant, and he smiled.

"Since you still have something to do, then go and get busy, be busy!"

I don't know why, Li Yong always felt a little weird when he heard it, and he arched his hand.

"Congratulations to the saint!"

Looking at the emperor's back gradually moving away, Li Jingheng, who had always been well-behaved like a kitten, finally recovered his original appearance, but their eyes were a little hot when they looked at Li Yong, look, what kind of card is this? Even resisting the decree is so justifiable, and even the emperor agrees with a pleasant face, who else in the government and the opposition can have a card like Li Yong?

"Yes, Li Yong, just carved a copper plate and burned a few pieces of lead, and it can go down in history!"

Li Jingheng sighed, and Li Yong was speechless.

"You know what? This is an improved printing technique, and it makes a lot of sense! In the future, books will not be as expensive as they are now, and children in the future will be able to read more books! ”

Zhang Zhilong's face turned white when he heard this, and he muttered.

"What kind of sins have the children created in the future!"

Li Chongyi asked expectantly with wide eyes.

"Li Yong, where do you want to go next? What are you going to do? If you need help, just ask! ”

"Yes, yes, if you need help, just ask!"

Li Jingheng and the others pounded their chests as they spoke, what are they kidding, they just followed Li Yong and got the emperor's reward, who is not active? Li Yong waved his hand again and again.

"It's nothing, I'm going home, you guys should hurry home!"

Li Chongyi and they couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, Li Yong wants to go home? What do you do back home? Didn't Li Yong say just now that he still had something to do? Even the saint refused to let him enter the palace for this reason, why did he have to go home at this time? Li Jingheng scratched his head a little and said.

"Li Yong, you don't want to take us, do you?"

Li Chongyi hurriedly said.

"We're a little stupid, but we can run errands or something for you with you, and get some light by the way!"

Li Yong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Am I that kind of person? I'm really going home! ”

Zhang Zhilong wondered.

"It's still early, why are you going home?"

"Go home and shower, then sleep!"

Li Yong said calmly.

It always feels weird, Li Jingheng scratched his head and said.

"Are you really going home?"

Li Yong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Really? If you don't believe me, follow me to see if I really go home! ”

"Anyway, we don't have anything to do, so I'll follow you!"

Li Jingheng and the others said with a smile, they were thick-skinned and didn't know what embarrassment was.

The palace, the Lizheng Palace, the eldest grandson queen was very puzzled when she listened to the reply of the chamberlain.

"The saint has already left the palace? Why did you suddenly leave the palace? ”

Empress Eldest Sun asked suspiciously, and the attendant said respectfully.

"Originally, the sage wanted Lord Du and others to enter the palace to discuss matters, and also ordered the Duke of Rongfu to enter the palace, but the attendant who passed the decree came back by himself, and the Duke of Rongfu said that he was very busy and had no time to enter the palace."

Say you're busy? Don't have time to enter the palace? Thinking that Li Yong could really say such a thing to the servant who passed the decree, Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously.

"What is Li Yong busy with? I didn't even have the time to enter the palace? ”

Li Lizhi next to her suddenly turned red when she heard this. Li Lizhen didn't know what Li Yong was doing, but she knew why she was busy, but she didn't expect Li Yong to even refuse the will of her father to summon her for this, could it be that she, Zheng Liwan, and Wu Cao were so attracted to Li Yong together? So much so that Li Yong couldn't even take care of entering the palace? The attendant next to him hurriedly said.

"Queen Qiyu, this slave doesn't know either, I only know that after the saint heard the report from the servant, he hurriedly went out of the palace with Lord Du, Lord Fang, Lord Changsun, Lord Wei and others!"

Empress Changsun became more and more curious when she heard this, and looked at Changle and asked.

"Changle, what is Li Yong busy with?"

Li Li's little face was red and hot, and she shook her head again and again.

"This daughter doesn't know."

"Why are you so red? Uncomfortable? ”

Empress Eldest Sun asked with concern.

Li Lizhen shook her head again and again.

"No, no, Queen Mother, I'm fine."

Facing the concerned and puzzled eyes of the queen mother, Li Lizhi had an idea and hurriedly said.

"Although I don't know what Lang Jun is busy with, I must have something important to do before I entered the palace to discuss matters, my father shouldn't have gone to find trouble with Lang Jun, right?"

It turned out that she was worried that Li Yong would be beaten up, and Empress Changsun smiled.

"If the sage really wants to beat Li Yong's board, he will also let the guards escort him to the palace, how can he personally go out of the palace to find Li Yong, and also bring Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wuji, Wei Zheng and other important ministers."

Li Lizhen nodded after listening.

"What the queen mother said, then I will be relieved."

Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"It must be Li Yong tossing something good, your father knew about it, so he couldn't wait to leave the palace. I just don't know what Li Yong is tossing. ”

In the end, Empress Eldest Sun looked curious, because Li Yong must be extraordinary every time he makes a move, so it is even more expected, Li Li said with a smile.

"I'm also curious, yesterday I talked about the success of the literature, and I also thanked Lang Jun for coming, but Lang Jun said that it is very simple to do something that will go down in history, and I will do another one in the next few days."

Do one more thing that will go down in history? Although she had already guessed in her heart, Empress Eldest Sun was still shocked and hurriedly asked.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I went out early this morning, mysterious."

Li Lizhi pouted slightly, in fact, she was also very curious in her heart, once people's curiosity was aroused, it was like a seed falling in the heart, which would sprout and thrive, Li Er strode into the Lizheng Palace, and found that the queen and her daughter were looking at him with blank eyes, Li Er asked with some confusion.

"Why do you look at so-and-so like that?"

Empress Eldest Sun pursed her lips and smiled.

"I heard that the saint suddenly left the palace? Why do you also tell your concubine? ”

Li Er said happily when he heard it.

"A certain originally wanted to summon Li Yong into the palace to discuss matters, but this kid said that he was not free to enter the palace and was improving the printing technique in the printing workshop, so he took Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to see them."

"Modified printing?"

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this.

Li Er said excitedly.

"Yes, improve printing! Nowadays, books are printed with engraving, and each book printed has to be carved out of the original, which is time-consuming and laborious, but Li Yong's method is to use movable type printing to carve out a movable type, and then no matter what book is printed, the movable type is rearranged and combined. ”

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but light up when she heard this, and suddenly said in surprise.

"Yes, it's so simple, carve a single word and then you can combine it at will, how easy it is! Why didn't anyone think about it before? I have to say that Li Yong, this kid, is really smart! ”

Li Er listened and waved his hand.

"How can it be that simple? The carving is woodcut, woodcut can not be used for a long time, soaked in ink will not take long to deform and rot, those craftsmen have thought of using movable type to print books, but can not solve this problem. ”

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard this, they thought that Li Yong had come up with movable type printing, it turned out that they couldn't use woodcuts, and the slightly disappointed Empress Changsun saw the emperor's happy look, and suddenly understood, Li Yong must have solved this problem, otherwise how could the emperor be so happy?

"Presumably Li Yong must have solved this problem, right?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked in surprise, and Li Er nodded.

"I don't know how this kid came up with it, but he really let him come up with it! First, the copper plate is used as a mold, the lead is burned into lead water and poured into the mold, and after cooling, a little polishing is used to get the lead letter, which can really be printed. ”

Empress Eldest Sun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she was pleasantly surprised.

"The lead word is not easy to damage and can be used for a long time, and there is a copper plate mold, and it is very simple to make another set of lead words!"

Li Er nodded with a smile.

"Yes, that's the truth, with this lead type, it will be much more convenient and faster to print books, there will be a lot more books on the market in the future, the price of books will be reduced a lot, and poor scholars can also buy books!"

Empress Eldest Sun said with emotion.

"With readers, people all over the world are very lucky! They should really thank Li Yong! ”

Li Er laughed.

"Of course, today Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang bowed down to Li Yong on the spot, saying that they thanked Li Yong on behalf of the world's scholars."

"This worship, Li Yong really deserves it! Not only the current scholars should thank Li Yong, but the future generations should also thank Li Yong! ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled brightly, looking proud, Li Er said happily.

"First there is a great success of literature, and then there is movable type printing, my Datang not only has great martial arts but also brilliant culture!"

Li Lizhen's pretty face has been red to the root of her ears, yesterday Li Yong bet that she would be able to do something that would go down in history within five days, she originally thought it was unlikely, but because Li Yong looked very confident, so she was a little skeptical, but she would never have thought that Li Yong tossed out movable type printing the next day, Li Lizhi of course knew the meaning of movable type printing, and it would definitely go down in history, so this bet, she and Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao had already lost, although the bet was lost, but she was not frustrated at all, but very happy, originally made this bet, she just wanted to give Li Yong some motivation, happy, she felt very shy, Li Yong won too fast, she was not ready yet.

"What makes a certain person feel the most is that Li Yong did not plan to make money with movable type printing, but announced movable type printing to the public."

Li Er said with emotion, and Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but sigh when she heard it.

"The duke is selfless and has the world in mind, Li Yong is really a good boy!"

Li Er said with a smile.

"If it weren't for that, I would have protested against him today, and I would have beaten his ass a long time ago!"
