Chapter 118: Your Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are still a little tender

"Tell me as soon as you hear the news."

"Yes." Tian Meng immediately bent down and saluted.

"By the way, let Zhang Xi's people stare at some of the inside of Chang'an City, and when they post small-character posters every day, see if there are any people with ulterior motives who ask around and remember these people."

"Yes!"

"Also, tell those scholars, just tell them that this is the current situation in the court, but this is not the end, this is only the beginning of the war! An invisible war has begun! This is the fight between us and them! The pen in their hands is the most powerful weapon, His Highness is injured, and he can't manage this matter for the time being, so it's up to them! Li Ke said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."

Li Ke's order soon spread to all corners of Chang'an City, and the local snakes all over Chang'an immediately dispatched and quickly pasted the prepared things in all corners.

In fact, there are many people waiting today, but today is not so early, and as soon as the small print poster is posted, many people will surround it.

"Is it Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng?"

"Yes, yes, it's coming, let's see what the big guy says today."

……

"I won't tell the story today, analyze the situation in the court, I feel that there is a high probability that the Tang Weekly will be taken back to the state, and most of the courtiers have the shadow of the gate valve family behind them, and they can't allow this kind of thing to speak for the people to come out, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu should not be good at stubble, and it is estimated that he will take back some things."

"The most important thing is that the emergence of Datang Weekly, and yesterday His Royal Highness the King of Shu began to sell cheap paper on a large scale, which means that the technology of papermaking has been made greater progress, and many poor students in Datang are blessed, and there will be more cheap books for ordinary people to read in the future."

"For this point, many ordinary scholars like me should be grateful to His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Maybe one day the imperial court will open the restrictions on the imperial examination, and we, the children of the poor family, can also participate in the imperial examination! ”

Today's content is very short, but it has caused quite a stir, because many ordinary literati already know that there are many new ideas that can be seen in such a small place, and they can communicate anonymously with others in different ways, and they can boldly express their opinions here.

And there are many people around who can understand it.

And Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, as the first to appear, is naturally everyone vying to watch, and today's content can be said to have instantly opened the eyes of many people!

"Mr. Lanling's analysis is really meticulous, I didn't expect him to be an ordinary student like us."

"In fact, there are many strange people in the people, and there are also powerful people, you see Han Zhihan Xin, isn't it just an ordinary person?"

"Yes, Mr. Lanling is right, we should thank His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

"It's a pity that the Datang Weekly was taken back by these people."

"Shhh Of course, they have to control their own power! ”

……

After the court went down, what happened in the court soon spread throughout Chang'an City, even if someone wanted to hide it, how could Li Ke let these news be concealed.

The words that Li Ke said above the court were spread word for word throughout Chang'an City.

"Sure enough! Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was punished by His Majesty because of this! However, His Royal Highness the King of Shu wrote these poems really well! Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon! I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone, don't worry about the road ahead without a confidant, and no one in the world knows you. Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. ”

"Yes! This is written with great pride! I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Shu to have great talents! ”

"Rejoice! It's so exciting! His Royal Highness the King of Shu scolded all over the government and the opposition! These people should be like this, snatching other people's things and saying good words. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu scolded the poem that was too vivid! Their faces are really ugly! ”

"I don't know how Mr. Lanling will comment tomorrow."

"How can you comment, it must be a little more subtle, otherwise if you are caught, it will be troublesome, don't you see the final result of His Royal Highness the King of Shu?"

The Tang Dynasty, which has always been procrastinating, handed over the relevant information of the Tang Weekly to Li Ke here with unprecedented efficiency, in fact, there is nothing to hand over, after the newspaper solves the paper and printing, there is no technical content, and the ancients can understand it at a glance.

It's just that what Li Ke didn't expect was that at the same time as the handover, there was also a holy decree from Li Shimin, strictly prohibiting Li Ke from tossing any more things like Datang Daily and Datang Monthly.

Seeing this holy decree, Li Ke sighed a little, who said that the ancients didn't understand? Isn't that quite a way to draw inferences? This kind of small means, the ancients would play, they were just limited by their vision, and behind the holy decree must be the result of mutual compromise between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji and others.

As for whether the Tang Weekly will use Li Ke's printing house in the future, he doesn't care, printing technology has a prototype at this time, and the reason why it is not popularized so quickly in history is because some people don't want it to be popularized, don't think that the ancients really didn't understand anything and couldn't see through these things.

But now that Li Ke has figured it out, there is no need to cover it up.

It took nearly 400 years to improve from engraving printing to movable type printing in history, is it because the technical difficulty is really that high?

No, the main thing is that there are enough craftsmen and not so many prints, and the gate valve family controls the printing technology, at most it is internal circulation, or it is printing for the royal family, and the demand is small. The engraving is less difficult, and it is easier to use, which is enough.

Second, there is no motivation, why improve these? There is no reward, not to mention, and it will be controlled, of course, no one will improve, to the Northern Song Dynasty, the reform of the imperial examination, the gradual expansion of the number of cold doors, the number of printing more and more, movable type naturally came into being.

Now the printing technology developed by Li Ke is both, movable type printing is used to play with newspapers and the like that need to change the content frequently, while engraving printing is used to print books, the content will not change, and it can often be used after engraving a plate.

After the imperial court handed over the Tang Weekly Report, the eldest grandson Wuji had already contacted the Xingyang Zheng family as soon as possible.

"How small can you do with your printing costs?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"15 Wen is already the limit."

"Paper is 2 wen, and printing can only be charged 3 wen, so a newspaper loses 12 wen." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Lang Jun rest assured, money is not a problem, it is only less than 50,000 yuan a year. I have already rewarded these craftsmen for improving their printing techniques, and I believe that the cost will decrease in the future. "The person in charge of the Zheng family in Xingyang is a middle-aged man, Zheng Qiang, although he is not the head of the family, he can represent the head of the family.

"I'm not worried about this, but if the sales of the newspaper increase, can you handle it." The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the other party and said.

Zheng Qiang smiled when he heard this, and he spoke: "Before I came, the head of the family explained it, don't worry, we will bear the loss." ”

"Well, one more point, if you want to speed up the printing in the early stage, you can get the finished product in a few days at the earliest?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"If the content is ready, it takes three days." Zheng Qiang thought for a moment and said, "We can continue to expand. ”

"Expand, the King of Shu won't give up so easily." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand very dryly and said, "We don't wait for seven days, we will issue an issue within three days, and the reason is to use the reprinting after the operation of the imperial court, and in this issue of the newspaper, we want to praise the King of Shu." ”

After finishing speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but sneer, they just didn't have these means before, but when it comes to playing with people's hearts, building public opinion, and arguing with each other, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are still a little tender. Didn't history teach you? Thousands of dollars buy bones, and these allusions are all used by these means.
