People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1197 Reconstruction of Printing Workshop

After Yan Liben and Li Tai discussed matters for the coming year in the academy, they followed Li Yifu to the engineering team.

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

Sitting on the throne, Li Shimin looked at a group of messengers underground and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Enjoying the salute of a group of tribute envoys, Li Shimin was also in a good mood.

Standing in front of the officials, Li Chengqian recited the first message of the new year.

The New Year's purpose is nothing more than some rewards, which have already encouraged the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

In terms of form, Li Shimin still has enough scenes.

After the envoys from various countries expressed their respect and offered gifts from various countries, a grand New Year's court meeting ended at noon.

Li Shimin returned to the Ganlu Hall wearily, and took down the heavy crown.

Wang Ding bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the things have been sent to Her Royal Highness and Chang'an Ling."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Is Li Zheng not disgusted?"

Wang Ding laughed and said, "Not really."

After Li Shimin sat down, he took a sip of tea, and said with a long breath of comfort: "Without the child, I always feel that this year is meaningless. I sent things over, and Li Zheng didn't think about giving me something in return?"

Wang Ding said: "Maybe Chang'an Order and they are already preparing."

"Prepare?"

Li Shimin smiled helplessly and said, "I don't believe he would be so thoughtful."

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "Yan Liben has returned to Jingyang, and now he has returned to the academy."

Li Shimin's eyes didn't change much when he heard Yan Liben's news while drinking tea.

Wang Ding said again: "There is one more thing, I don't know if this matter is serious or not."

Li Shimin put down the exquisite tea bowl in his hand, which was made of jade.

Li Shimin, who was diligent and thrifty in the early years, now has a full treasury, and the court has money and confidence, and he is somewhat arrogant.

Changing to a more comfortable sitting position, Li Shimin whispered: "You talk and watch."

"Here!"

Wang Ding saluted first, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness King Jin was casting a huge furnace."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, he naturally knew about it.

I saw this stove in Jingyang before, but I didn't know what it was for for a while.

Wang Ding said again: "When casting the stove, it seemed that some difficulties were encountered, so the King of Jin melted and cast some copper coins, and cast copper to build the stove."

Casting copper is indeed a felony.

And one is very strict.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "This kid won't be so ignorant, he knows that casting copper is a felony."

Wang Ding stood bowed and said, "Today, the Jingyang blacksmith shop melted and minted a lot of copper coins. The old slave doesn't know what to do with them. Hundreds of thousands of copper coins have been melted and minted."

Li Shimin's face darkened, "What is Li Zheng going to do?"

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "It is said that the furnace will still be cast."

"Stove? Still a stove."

Li Shimin held his forehead in distress and said, "How many people still know about this?"

Wang Ding replied: "I didn't make any rumors. This matter was done very low-key, but it cannot avoid being discovered by interested people and spread this matter."

If only Li Zheng could count the money at home obediently and honestly.

It's up to him.

If he messed around, Li Shimin would also have a headache as to how to deal with Li Zheng.

But this Li Zheng still controls the war between Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo.

Such a large piece of land in Goguryeo is still in the hands of Li Zheng.

If you want to touch Li Zheng, you can't touch him.

Li Zheng is my biggest wallet and biggest source of income.

The treasury of the central government can be so abundant, it is inseparable from Li Zheng's strategizing.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Tell Li Zheng, enough is enough."

"Here."

The copper coins minted by Li Zheng are also his own money.

But it's not good for this matter to spread.

If someone pursues it, will I protect him or not?

Stove, stove!
All because of the stove.

Why on earth is Li Zheng so obsessed with a stove.

Yan Liben repaired the road and went straight back to Jingyang, without saying that he came to see the Ministry of Industry in Chaozhong.

It's New Year's Eve, and the childish slave and little Sizi don't come to say hello either.

Do they still have me in their hearts?

As long as the number of copper coins minted is not large, Li Shimin will pass by with one eye closed.

It's just that I don't know what the Jingyang casting furnace is for.

Li Shimin felt that he had no bottom in his heart.

He took another sip of tea, as if swallowing the current gloom, and felt much more comfortable after a while.

With the huge country on his shoulders, there will be endless desertedness in the palace.

Recalling a letter written by Li Zheng many years ago, does Li Shimin think that my country is really so bad?

In the first few days of the new year, Chang'an City has become a city that never sleeps.

Li Shimin temporarily lifted the curfew.

From night to dawn, there are laughter and noises everywhere in Chang'an City.

This situation continued for half a month, and the carnival did not stop until the envoys of various countries were about to leave.

It's just that Shaoqing of Dali Temple didn't give money for staying overnight in Pingkangfang, and because he held an important position in the court, which corrupted the atmosphere, that was why Li Shimin took him into prison.

So much so that people in Chang'an City now think that Dali Temple is an evil place.

But everyone who holds important positions in Dali Temple seems to be very unlucky.

Zhao Guogong's mansion.

At this moment, Changsun Chong didn't think so.

When the weapon case was so critical, Shaoqing of Dali Temple was imprisoned for such a thing?
Is it because Dai Zhide, the young minister of Dali Temple, is not up to date, or is it deliberately arranged by someone?

As soon as he was imprisoned, the investigation of weapons lost a lot of help.

Jingyang
Half a month after the new year, the printing workshop in Jingyang is ready for renovation.

At the forefront of the assembly line, all the water-driven machine expansions have been removed.

Now it is necessary to increase the height of the printing house.

There is even a need to expand the space of the printing workshop.

The British prince Li Ji looked at this scene and said, "Do you think Li Zheng has something new? It's really a toss."

Zhang Gongjin didn't deny it, but said solemnly: "Li Zheng also came to see the old man before, and the old man also looked at the drawings. It seems that a big guy is going to be placed in the printing workshop."

Li Ji thought about it and said, "Do you think it might be the big furnace that was built before?"

Zhang Gongjin shook her head and sighed, "No matter what it is, the old man is quite old, and he came here to recuperate from his illness, not to worry about these things."

After speaking, Zhang Gongjin turned and left.

Li Ji stood there for a while, then left.

In the blacksmith shop, the three brothers of the Tie family are very busy now.

The parts distributed in various ironsmith shops in Chang'an City have also been delivered one after another.

After the previous few castings, Tie Da is now quite familiar with the casting of iron furnaces.

Put the melted iron materials from the furnace into the molds one by one.

Wait until the iron slurry in the mold solidifies and then cools down rapidly.

A decent part comes out, and this kind of part has to be polished until it reaches the proper size before it can be used.
