After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Zhi said: "At present, Erchen's new workshop has been completed, and the previous industry is enough to cope with the current situation. ”

Li Shimin nodded silently.

Then he continued to ask, "I heard that you have opened a free school in the resettlement site, how many people have copied so many books?" ”

Li Zhidao: "The books in the school were all printed by the sons themselves, and they were not copied. ”

Li Zhi's words made everyone stunned again.

Printing, a word that no one had ever heard of, came out of Li Zhi's mouth like a settlement.

Settlements are now accepted and widely used, but what does the word print mean?

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth at this time and asked, "What does His Highness mean by printing?" It was as if they had never heard of it. ”

Li Zhi explained: "The so-called printing is the use of machinery to reproduce the contents of a book, so as to save the manual copying. ”

Fang Xuanling continued to ask: "I don't know if this method is easy to operate?" Can I save time? ”

Li Zhi said: "This method only requires two or three literate people to typeset and check, and a few more people to print and bind. ”

Speaking of which, he mentally calculated the efficiency a little.

Then he continued: "It should take two days to print 10,000 books. ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair with a sudden.

He shouted in a voice that had been transposed, "What did you say? Two... Two... Two days... Ten thousand... 10,000 books? ”

Everyone else's minds are blank at the moment, and they have lost the ability to think.

Li Zhi said: "Movable type printing is suitable for printing words, and engraving printing is suitable for printing patterns, in general, two days is enough." ”

The hall fell silent again.

Soon, though, heavy breathing began to occur.

The voice grew more and more urgent.

Finally, at a certain moment, Wang Jue took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, great luck, great luck!" With this invention, the literature of my Tang Dynasty will be greatly prosperous, and it will be greatly prosperous! ”

He seemed a little incoherent at this point, but it was already the best performance of the group.

Fang Xuanling and the others hadn't been able to think of how to express their opinions until this moment, and they all felt a little short of words.

After Li Shimin heard Wang Qi's words, he immediately laughed happily.

It wasn't until half a day later that he spoke: "What Uncle Jie said is extremely true, this is the luck of my Tang Dynasty, and it is the luck of all the people!" ”

The others finally had a normal reaction by this point.

Everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin laughed "haha" again.

After another half a day, Li Shimin happily said: "Draft." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately bowed respectfully and stood up.

Ananda quickly found a pen and paper.

I only heard Li Shimin speak: "Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is intelligent, good at things, and loves the people like a son, first has the merit of placing all the people, and then comes out with the law of popularizing literature, and now he is crowned as the governor of the state and the governor of Zuo Wuhou, and the food has increased to 20,000 households. ”

After Li Shimin's will was finished, everyone's eyes looking at Li Zhi were full of complexity.

After this reward, Li Zhi can be regarded as a peerless among the princes.

It's just that all this is earned by people themselves, and everyone can't say anything against it except envy.

However, everyone can't help but worry that Li Zhi's performance now is not only the best among the kings, but even the performance of the crown prince is far inferior to him.

If this continues, I don't know what kind of chaos will happen in the DPRK and China in the future.

Not to mention others, even their own hearts at this time will inevitably have great fluctuations.

As everyone expected, Li Zhi's sealing really caused a sensation in the DPRK again.

Among them, the two who felt the most pressure were the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Li Chengqian has decided to temporarily give up his long-cherished martial arts and the art of war, and instead devote more energy to governing the country.

Li Tai, on the other hand, recruited more people and wanted to speed up the compilation of geography books.

He still thinks about competing with Li Zhi in literature.

It's a pity that the next situation didn't give him the slightest chance.

With the continuous consumption of many disaster victims, the imperial court's food stocks are almost insufficient.

Li Zhi began to ask people to go to various places to buy grain.

At this time, the price of food in various places has risen a lot.

Among them, the major grain merchants in Chang'an City even set the price of rice to 150 wen per bucket, which was double the previous price.

Not only that, but these grain merchants actually sold the cheapest corn for 90 wen a bucket, which was nearly three times more than before.

Behind these grain merchants are the figures of the major clans, and they are very aware of the current situation of the imperial court.

Therefore, they unanimously decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

By the way, take revenge on the imperial court's suppression of them.

At first, Li Zhi did not want to deal with these grain merchants, and he was ready to rely on the grain purchased from other places to support the settlement.

However, it didn't take long for him to realize that he had grossly underestimated the influence of these clans.

They actually controlled the price of food in the whole country.

The news came back from all over the country and was pretty much the same.

Although the price of grain is slightly cheaper, if you include the cost of transportation, the price is not much different from that in Chang'an City.

Even in some areas where there is obviously a high yield, the price of grain is excessively high.

This made Li Zhi a little unacceptable.

You clans are planning to join forces and demonstrate to the court, right?

In that case, don't blame this king for being ruthless.

I'm going to let you see what a price war is.

So he immediately ordered those who had been sent out to go directly to the local temples and people to buy food.

Prices are based on the original market price.

The same money is spent, and the king spends all this money on the people.

As a result, the grain collection teams that had appeared in the various cities were transferred to the countryside overnight.

The price they offered quickly attracted some people who had surplus food.

It didn't take long for the acquisition to pay off.

Truckloads of grain are shipped directly to the capital or to the nearest shipping terminal.

The biggest harvest is the team that goes to the temple to buy.

There were already many fertile fields in the temple, but after the relationship with the clan deteriorated, the grain shops they set up in various places were suppressed by the clan.

Therefore, the major temples have a lot of grain in their hands.

Now the imperial court has taken the initiative to come to the door to buy, although the price is far less than the price of the grain store, but the quantity demanded is far beyond the ordinary people.

Selling grain to the government not only showed that it supported the imperial court, but also cleared a large amount of inventory for itself.

Where do you usually find such a good thing to have the best of both worlds?

So when the first batch of grain purchased from outside appeared in Chang'an City, those black-hearted grain merchants were dumbfounded.
