People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 135
Zhang Qi, the foreman, was called to transfer the artisan class.

Looking at a blueprint, Zhang Qi, who has many years of experience as a craftsman, saw the purpose at a glance, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, is this for rubbing?"

"This is called movable type printing." Li Zheng said.

Zhang Qi stared at the drawing for a long time, "It's really a good thing."

Could movable type printing be a good thing?This thing is flexible and effortless to use, and the typeface can be taken down and replaced at any time for repeated use, which is much easier to use than those bulky engraving boards.

Zhang Qi looked at Daniel's slightly clumsy printed book and said, "Master Hou, why don't you use the method of dyeing cloth?"

"Dye cloth?" Li Zheng thought to himself.

Zhang Qi continued: "However, it is really troublesome to build and it will take some time. Lord Hou must have considered it carefully, but first print the book to see the effect."

"Yes, yes, I have to think carefully." Li Zheng nodded awkwardly.

Zhang Qi redraws a drawing, which looks like a roller used to brush cloth in a cloth dyeing workshop.

After seeing it clearly, Li Zheng seemed to be enlightened.

It turns out that it is used in this way. In order to ensure the uniform color of the cloth, the current dyeing workshop will brush the dyed cloth again.

This is the origin of Zhang Qi's idea.

I still have a specialization in the art industry. If I didn't have this piece of paper, maybe I would still be confused and laborious page after page of rubbings.

After reading the blueprints, Zhang Qi said, "What does the county marquis think of this method?"

Li Zheng said with a little embarrassment: "It's not bad, I can barely make use of it."

Zhang Qi smiled quickly and said: "If there is a better way, the county lord must tell my subordinates, we will rely on craftsmanship to make a living, and brothers with more skills will also be able to eat more in the future."

Shaking the cattail fan in his hand, Li Zheng smiled strangely and said, "Of course."

Although it is still manual, it has tended to be semi-automatic, and the efficiency will be much better.

It's like semi-automatic stamping on the assembly line.

The paper rolls in long strips with the roller, and the rubbing becomes like a stamp, just cover it.

It saves a lot of trouble, but it must be done under the condition that the paper is absolutely tough.

Zhang Qi looked at the paper that had been dried. This kind of paper was very rough, and it was easy to turn yellow after being left for a long time.

Although the quality is a bit poor, there is still room for improvement.

Zhang Qi took his own carpenter class and started building the workshop.

The rest of the work can be left to the people in the carpentry class, and Li Zheng is free again.

Money is a good thing, and Li Zheng fully understands its importance.

In this Tang Dynasty that lacks books.

Li Zheng is sure that he can make paper books sell well.

Li Tai came eating an unknown fruit and said, "Li Zheng, I heard that some ministers in the court suggested that the royal father reduce the expenditure of the army."

"What?"

"It's because the northwest direction is peaceful and the Hexi Corridor has been recovered. Next, we should rest and recuperate, and we should not resort to military action."

Li Zheng sat up and said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"

Li Tai whispered, "What do you think? What should we do?"

Li Zheng shook his fan and said with a smile: "Of course I don't think so, such words are fallacies."

"how do I say this?"

"Even if the opponent seems to be weaker than us now, we can't take it lightly. Peace is the source of arrogance. We should never underestimate our opponent. We live in sorrow and die in peace."

"There is a very powerful person who said that not having a sword in your hand is not the same as having a sword without using it."

Li Tai nodded, "Born in adversity, died in peace... There is no difference between having a sword in your hand and having a sword. It seems to be a simple sentence, but it makes sense, and..."

After a pause, Li Tai said, "I might be going back to Chang'an soon."

"real!?"

Li Zheng stood up excitedly and immediately regained his energy.

Seeing Li Zheng's happy face, Li Tai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will come to your house for dinner often. After all, I am used to eating at your house, and I am not used to eating at other places."

Li Zheng: "..."

"Hahaha!"

After laughing three times, Li Tai turned around and boarded a carriage to head to Chang'an.

In Chang'an, Li Tai came to the Ganlu Hall and saw Li Shimin bowed and said, "Father."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "From tomorrow onwards, you will go to court to listen to the government."

Hearing this, Li Tai was delighted, and immediately saluted, "Thank you, Father."

"Back off." Li Shimin said without raising his head.

For a long time, among the princes, only the prince Li Chengqian was able to go to the court to listen to the government.

Unexpectedly, this time the emperor also asked himself to listen to politics.

But without saying a few words, he let himself back down.

Before Li Tai left, he took another look and found that his father was reading the Legend of the White Snake.

Also fascinated.

Leaving the Ganlu Hall to greet his mother.

When he came to the Lizheng Palace, he greeted his mother, the eldest grandson, the empress, and let himself back down without saying a few words.

Li Tai looked at the situation here, and found that Li Zhi and the queen mother were holding a copy of The Legend of the White Snake and watching intently.

Walking in Chang'an, I haven't been to Chang'an for a long time. I didn't expect that everyone in Chang'an is talking about the story of the White Snake.

Chang'an became lively again because of the story of The Legend of the White Snake.

I don't know why Jingyang stopped after selling a batch of books.

The price of the book "Legend of the White Snake" was getting higher and higher.

Paper books are too rare in Datang.

Binding a book with paper is too luxurious for people nowadays.

Some people even bought it at a high price and directly used it as an orphan copy in the future.

On the second day at the court

Li Tai walked into the Tai Chi Hall and looked at Li Chengqian, "Brother Emperor, long time no see."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai vigilantly, "Being able to listen to politics is a good opportunity to learn about politics, so don't neglect your father's expectations of you."

"That's natural." Li Tai said respectfully to Li Chengqian.

Fang Xuanling listened to the conversation between the crown prince and the two brothers, King Wei, and could see the expressions between the two brothers.

Will Li Chengqian really be happy when Li Tailai takes over the administration?Not necessarily.

The two brothers have always been at odds, and it has been like this since childhood.

Fang Xuanling could hear the mutual targeting between the words.

With the arrival of Li Shimin, the court meeting began.

Each of the six departments reported their own affairs.

Li Shimin's spirit is not very good, a little drowsy.

A chapter-style book like The Legend of the White Snake can't stop reading it.

I saw Late Night last night, and I have to say that it is really a very touching story.

When it comes to the issue of Wubing stationing troops, the DPRK and China began to quarrel again.

The Minister of War, Hou Junji, and other generals disagreed with reducing the number of troops and abolishing the army.

The civil servants were filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, Jianwu Lu Kang's militarism, its fate can be imagined, and now the border has been closed."

"Your Majesty, if the army is abolished, what if the Turks and Tubo fight again?"

"Your Majesty! This is also to reassure the Turks."

"Your Majesty, it is time to rest with the people and let the people of the world rest and recuperate."

……

Chaotang could not stop arguing again.

Li Tai glanced at his father's face, which seemed to be a little angry.

Standing out of the court hall, Li Tai saluted and said, "Father, my son has something to say."
