"Oh? What did the mother say? ”

Liu Zhi was a little surprised, his mother had always refused to enter Yong'an Palace before, and now she began to put forward conditions.

This is a good thing, it shows that her thinking has changed and there is a door.

"Mother Says ......"

Deng Meng's face blushed rarely, and his eyes wet with water vapor were full of moisture, "She said that if I am pregnant, I will come to take care of her." ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, this was indeed like his mother's style, but Deng Meng also obviously had the intention of using chicken feathers as an arrow.

It seems that the women in the harem, only the children are the biggest reliance, even if she is the only woman in the harem at present, she is still insecure.

In fact, don't talk about her, even himself, there is no guarantee that he will not spoil more beauties in the future, now he is just too young, and he doesn't want to indulge in the gentle country, and excessive indulgence hurts his vitality.

What's more, his top priority now is how to centralize power, make the country rich and the people strong, and sit firmly in this country.

And he never thought that women should be stupid and sweet, in this palace, how can they live without a snack machine and means?

It is impossible for him to shelter her from the wind and rain all the time, when there are more beauties in the harem, how can he have so much energy to take care of them.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart, stretched out his hand and pulled it gently, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Oh? Why don't we get my mother's wish as soon as possible? ”

Deng Meng was overjoyed, and fell into his arms, and the two of them played in the water.

For a few days, after Liu Zhi finished his state affairs, he stayed in the Hehuan Palace, and everyone in the palace saw it in their eyes and became more and more respectful to Deng Meng.

On this day, Captain Gu Ying under Shan Chao came to report, he was responsible for monitoring the Empress Dowager Liang and others, and its content was naturally related to this matter.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Liang does not go out every day, occasionally walks around the garden, and does not contact outsiders, but the queen is rehearsing every day, and recently she has become obsessed with playing herself."

Gu Ying was Shan Chao's subordinate before, and the two had a good relationship, and although this person was young, his ability to do things was relatively strong.

"Liang Budo has been busy completing the tasks assigned to him by His Majesty, and his engraving printing skills have begun to bear fruit, and he is trying to print them."

Liu Zhi nodded, for the time being, they really have no suspicions, but they can't stop there, and they can't relax their surveillance of the Liang family until the matter is clear.

"His sons and daughters are also very low-key, they don't interact with outsiders, and they all go to Dumen."

"Well, keep staring, have you been in charge of Jingshi's affairs recently?"

Shan Chao took people to Yanzhou, busy consolidating the situation, the person behind the scenes temporarily lost this game, although he was very calm on the surface, but he had to always be on guard against the other party's new tricks.

The capital can't relax here, and now it seems that this person is good at playing with people's hearts, and he can't prevent it, and he doesn't know what tricks he will play in the future.

After all, they are in the light, and those people are hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to move, and they are very passive in doing things.

"Yes, the right guard of Longlin is under my command for the time being."

Gu Ying rarely dealt with the emperor, so he was very cautious in his words and actions, for fear of leaving a bad impression on him.

"The situation has been bad recently, I've worked hard for you, and when this matter is over, I will celebrate you."

Now is the time to win over people's hearts, and Liu Zhi is now more and more comfortable in this regard.

"Oh, thank you for your care, and the ministers will go all out."

Gu Ying's spirits perked up, and he promised loudly.

After he left, Liu Zhi remembered that Shicai seemed to say that engraving printing had achieved phased success and was in the trial printing stage.

This is an epoch-making event, and I have been busy with government affairs recently, and I have long forgotten about it.

"Someone, summon Liang Budo, editor-in-chief of Hanlin Garden."

Soon, Liang Budo hurried over, with a faint look of excitement on his face, holding a thread-bound book that still exuded the fragrance of ink.

"Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the latest print."

As soon as Liu Zhigang got it in his hand, he found the difference, first of all, the paper was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, much more high-end than the usual paper.

"Huh? Was the trial production of mulberry paper over there successful? ”

Liang Budo smiled happily, "It's rattan paper, I just got it, this is the first batch, and I happened to use it to test the new book." ”

The papermaking technology invented by Cai Lun before has indeed greatly reduced the cost of papermaking and expanded the source of paper.

But the paper he made had a fatal flaw, it was not tough enough, it was easily destroyed, and it was too absorbent to make mistakes.

This time, he instructed Shaofu to make new paper, especially emphasizing that the pulp must be delicate, and vegetable glue should be added to it appropriately to increase the finish.

The toughness of the rattan paper itself is very good, but the paper made is smooth and strong, which is very suitable for printing.

Turning the pages of the book, the layout inside is also very exquisite, and it does break the sentences and empty lines, no longer like before, densely packed with a whole article, which makes people dizzy.

"Great, this time I will make a contribution to you and Shaofu, stabilize the manufacturing process as soon as possible, and then print a large number of books such as the subset of scriptures and histories."

After receiving His Majesty's praise, Liang Budo's mood was even happier.

"This is a matter within the minister's duty, not to mention that it is all made according to His Majesty's thoughts, and the minister dares to take credit?"

This guy is good for everything else, but he is too cautious and not interesting.

Liu Zhi waved his hand and sent him away, but he was very excited in his heart, improved the paper, and then came up with engraving and printing, and the matter of this autumn's big exam should be put on the agenda.

No matter how serious the bandit problem in Qingzhou is, it can't stop his determination to hold the first national examination of the Han Dynasty.

This matter was handed over to Taiwei Huang Qiong before, and he didn't bother to follow up these days, so he didn't know how to prepare.

Just as he was about to announce his entry into the palace, the outside reported that the captain asked to see him, and this old guy wouldn't want to go with him.

Sure enough, after Huang Qiong saw the ceremony, she directly expressed her intention.

"Your Majesty, the matter of inspection and assessment is basically ready, just wait for your next edict, and you can start."

Unexpectedly, he was very efficient, and the recommendation work at the grassroots level below was quietly completed.

"Very good, Taiwei's work is in line with my wishes, I will draft an edict today, and announce the edict publicly tomorrow, and the counties will be publicly assessed on a certain day."

He didn't worry about whether there would be fraud, anyway, the final invigilator was himself, to see who had the guts to do a ghost under his nose.

This is not something that can be filled indiscriminately, and when the time comes, you will see the real chapter on the paper, and you will not be able to hold back a fart.

According to what they had agreed before, after the county assessment, the winners will take the state test, and then come to Kyoto, where Liu Zhi will personally preside over the final assessment.

Basically, it is already the prototype of the imperial examination system, but the popularity of education in Dahan is too low, and the problem of student origin can only rely on recommendation for the time being.

Alas, it's still the same sentence, there is a long way to go.
