Chapter 617
Li Ke nodded when he received the words, "I will remember your instructions, don't worry."

Songtsan Gampo stood in the distance and kept staring at Li Zheng, Li Ke and Wang Xuance discussing something.

Originally thought that some experienced generals would be sent, but it turned out to be such young two people.

Songtsan Gampo looked at Li Ji and said, "Can't the court send more experienced generals?"

Li Ji whispered, "Don't underestimate these Jingyang guards."

Songtsen Gampo asked again: "Do they have any special skills?"

Li Ji didn't really want to continue talking to Songtsan Gampo. Li Zheng's Jingyang guards looked mediocre, but they never failed in every duel with the Longwu Army. Even the Army Zhongwei was under Li Zheng's guard. The team suffered a loss.

Although it was the first time he went out to fight outside the customs, Li Ji was also a little worried.

At the same time, I also have some expectations about what kind of achievements this escort team will make.

There were quite a few people in the army and in the DPRK waiting for Li Zheng's guards to laugh at him.

Seeing that Wang Xuance and Li Ke had gotten on their horses, Songtsan Gampo also got on their horses.

Li Yifu came running and said: "Chang'an Order, you can go."

Li Zheng glanced at the team again and said, "Let's go."

"Let's go!" With Li Ke yelling, a thousand guards got on their horses and left the village on horseback.

The horseshoe stepped on the ground, leaving deep horseshoe marks one by one.

Looking back, the team had already gone a little far.

Li Zheng walked all the way back to the village, and the printing factory also started to take over the business of the book printing workshop.

The business of the original book printing house was all connected to the printing house.

Looking at the sample books, Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "In the future, whenever there are books to be printed, we must also distinguish which books can be printed and which books cannot be printed."

Li Yifu asked curiously: "Then what books can't be printed?"

There are too many books that cannot be printed, such as those that spread rumors.

"You can ask Zhang Gongjin for help." Li Zheng thought for a while and said.

The printing factory was officially put into operation, and the speed of printing books was more than five times faster than before.

Sheet after sheet of paper comes out of the rotary machine, saving a series of complicated steps such as pulping and cutting of paper.

Except for movable type printing, this hurdle is hard to pass.

Today's movable type is the same as before, requiring inverted molded characters.

It is already very good to be able to do so at the current level.

A clever woman can't cook without rice. Even if you know how the printing presses of later generations work, you can't make fully automatic ones without that kind of industrial level.

The speed of printing books in Jingyang has increased several times.

Thousands of books are sent to Chang'an every day.

As a result, many booksellers had to lower the prices of books repeatedly.

This incident also shocked many people.

When Li Shimin received this news, he knew that he had already done what he asked Li Zheng to do.

Putting down a book in his hand, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the hall and said, "There will be more and more scholars in the future."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "That's right, books will be cheaper in this way, and more people will be able to read, and more and more people will be able to read."

Du Ruhui also said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are more and more literate people in the Tang Dynasty now. Li Zheng's magazine sells very well every time it comes out. Many people are willing to listen to what the magazine says, and some people want to read it. To understand magazines is to take the initiative to learn to read.”

Hearing Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin felt that he could take the next step.

"Is it possible to set up more bookstores in various parts of the Central Plains now, hosted by counties and counties, to recruit teachers and children to study?"

In fact, Li Shimin had this idea a long time ago, and it has not been implemented because most of the scholars are in the hands of the aristocratic family.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think I'm a little too anxious."

Du Ruhui also said: "I also thought it was too anxious."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Are you really in a hurry?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and fell silent.

Li Shimin took out eye drops and said to Wang Ding, "Give some eye drops to both Xuan Ling and Ke Ming."

Wang Ding nodded, "Here."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't understand what Li Shimin meant.

Fang Xuanling was unwilling until he realized that Wang Ding was going to drip medicine in his eyes.

Wang Ding smiled and said, "Both of you, the eye drops are very comfortable to use, and His Majesty also uses them often."

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin's expression.

Li Shimin felt a little helpless seeing his right-hand man in such embarrassment.

Wang Ding tried it himself, and seeing that everyone was fine, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also mustered up the courage to open his eyelids.

Two drops of eye drops were dripped in, and another two drops of eye drops were given to Du Ruhui.

After a while, the two of them opened their eyes and confirmed that they were not blind.

Li Shimin said: "Okay, you two should step back."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walked out of Ganlu Hall together.

Fang Xuanling walked all the way and said, "Keming, do you think we have said something that His Majesty doesn't want to hear?"

Du Ruhui also said with a melancholy expression: "Maybe, Your Majesty has had this idea for a long time."

Fang Xuanling also had a melancholy expression on his face, "Then why did His Majesty give medicine to our eyes? It's unbelievable."

Du Ruhui nodded, "But the eyes are quite comfortable."

Fang Xuanling also nodded, "It's really comfortable."

Walking to Zhuque Street, many scholars went to various booksellers in Chang'an to buy books.

A few days later, there were more and more books in Chang'an. Before, there were only three or four hundred books a day.

But now thousands of books are sent to Chang'an City every day, and the price of printing books is cheaper than before.

Scholars and scholars who want to buy books are even more happy.

Those who want to print books also save money, and are more willing to take out various books to print.

The booksellers in Chang'an are going crazy, and they will not make money selling books.

Books are so cheap.

Duan Lun and several descendants of the aristocratic family are gathering together, and everyone is discussing the speed of printing books in Jingyang.

Yan Qinli is now a writer, so he is naturally very popular with the children of the family.

But he was originally a taciturn person, not very good at chatting with others, and not good at words.

So although Yan Qinli is in this circle, he also belongs to the kind of person who has few friends.

The only friend is Duan Lun.

Duan Lun sipped his drink and said to Yan Qinli, "Why don't we go back first."

Hearing what Duan Lun said, Yan Qinli heaved a sigh of relief, "Then go back."

Duan Lun stood up and said goodbye to the children of the aristocratic family here, and walked out of Pingkangfang with Yan Qinli.

Yan Qinli, who didn't like the place of flowers and wine, walked out of Pingkang Square and felt much more at ease.

Walking along the way, Yan Qinli said: "Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with Jingyang sending more and more books. In the past, when I was reading books, I always asked others to borrow them. I didn't have my own books at all. Nowadays, books are even cheaper. Isn't it better?"
