Chapter 760 The First Meeting

General Li Ji also came, followed by Zhang Gongjin.

Zhang Gongjin said: "The old man also came to join in the fun?"

"Zou Guogong can do as he pleases."

Seeing that Li Zheng did not refuse Zhang Gongjin to be in the barracks, he kept observing Wang Ding, the most trusted eunuch of His Majesty, who followed Li Zheng, it seemed that His Majesty attached great importance to what Li Zheng was going to do.

Seeing this, Zhang Gongjin became interested and wanted to see what Li Zheng was going to do?
Shangguanyi and Xu Jingzong also rushed over.

Xue Rengui and Cheng Chumo rushed to the barracks sweating profusely.

Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, Li Ji, Shangguanyi, Zhang Gongjin, Li Ke, Yan Liben, all have arrived.

Abandon Zhang Gongjin and Li Ji.

Li Ke, King of Shu, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, and Yan Liben were all second in command in Jingyang, and Duo closed the door of the barracks.

Nodding his head and looking at the crowd, Li Zheng said, "I haven't arranged anything properly. Recently, we have a lot of things to do, and this is the first time we have gathered everyone to do things together."

Seeing that everyone is silent, there should be no objection.

Li Zheng said: "I plan to expand the book printing workshop and increase the number of books we print. The court will set up a new book workshop. This book workshop ranks among the six temples and nine temples. Of course, it is independent of the court hall and can go directly to the palace. The person in the palace reported it, and the prince can testify."

Wang Ding said: "Your Majesty's intention is indeed so."

Zhang Gongjin said in a low voice: "Have you made up your mind?"

Li Zheng still nodded.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, who understood the stakes, looked worried.

But it's likely they're worrying about themselves.

Li Zheng said to everyone: "There is still an open space in Jingyang, just next to the book printing factory. According to my expectation, five more book printing factories can be expanded."

Yan Liben said: "I have seen that piece of land, and it should be possible to build seven buildings."

Li Zheng said: "Just build five, and leave enough distance between each printing factory, also for the sake of safe production."

Safe Production?Yan Liben pondered over this word in his mind.

Li Zheng went on to say: "The printing factory still needs to undergo some transformation. In addition to the existing hydraulic semi-automatic, I plan to use a steam engine. I will discuss the manufacture of the steam engine with the Iron University."

Everyone didn't know what a steam engine was, so they didn't express much.

Li Zheng looked at Zhang Gongjin and said, "As for the management of the book printing factory, I want to hand it over to Zou Guogong. What does Zou Guogong think?"

Zhang Gongjin said with a smile: "The old man is old, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

Li Ji who was sitting on the side said: "Zou Guogong is not much older than this old man."

Li Zheng said: "Zou Guogong only needs to be the officials in charge of dispatching."

Zhang Gongjin saw that it was not easy to evade, and said: "Then I will try."

Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, Zhang Gongjin was Li Shimin's counselor, and the book printing shop was also Li Shimin's most concerned thing, so Zhang Gongjin would not be too pushy.

It can also reassure Li Shimin, and it is also good for the future to have such a scheming person like Zhang Gongjin in the printing factory.

It can also hold down Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu.

Li Zheng went on to say: "Xu Jingzong is responsible for collecting books and letting the book printing workshop print them. Every book printed in each issue must pass Zou Guogong's eyes. It is not a book that can be printed. Only books that Zou Guogong nods can be printed."

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "I understand."

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "In terms of personnel scheduling and manpower allocation in the printing factory, Li Yifu is responsible for the manpower arrangement, the manpower for the construction of the book printing factory, and the manpower and goods dispatching of the book printing factory. Li Yifu will arrange it."

Li Yifu took a pamphlet to record Li Zheng's words.

Looking at Wang Ding again, Li Zheng said to him: "Your Majesty must communicate well with the palace, and please trouble me to pass on the news from the palace."

Wang Ding nodded.

Looking at Li Junxian and Li Ke, Li Zheng went on to instruct: "The Longwu Army and the Jingyang Guards have now merged, and our manpower is sufficient now. We can add more manpower for patrolling and guarding around Jingyang on weekdays. "

Li Ke also recorded Li Zheng's words in the booklet.

Li Zheng said to Shangguanyi: "Brother Shangguan, you are the county magistrate of Jingyang, and all the newly arrived Longwu soldiers are incorporated into Jingyang's household registration, and all relatives and family members of Longwu army can be incorporated into Jingyang household registration. Time, you will be very busy, if you are too busy, you can ask the children of the academy to help."

Shangguanyi also wrote down Li Zheng's words.

"The manpower responsible for the construction of the book printing factory can be drawn from our Jingyang guards first, and how many manpower will be needed to complete the project before the busy season next year."

Yan Liben thought about it and said, "3000 people are enough."

"Then there will be Master Lao Yan."

Yan Liben said: "This is what this old man is doing. Since the completion of the new academy, this old man has not been doing anything."

Li Zheng said again: "Let's do this first, this is our first meeting, and we may ask everyone in the future."

Li Ke said: "Then I'll go to work on the guards first."

Xue Rengui also told Li Ke to leave.

Cheng Chumo was sleepy and didn't know how much he had listened to after a meeting.

Everyone also left one after another.

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were left behind.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Li Zheng said: "I will let Wang Ding report to His Majesty, and let you two be incorporated into the printing workshop. From now on, you will be the officials of the printing workshop. The printing workshop does not need to report to the court, but can Report directly to His Majesty, the two of you should understand that the printing house is important."

Li Yifu nodded and said: "I am willing to die for Chang'an Order."

Xu Jingzong also said hastily: "I am willing to die for the order of Chang'an."

Looking at the two of them, Li Zheng said in a low voice: "I know what you are thinking. At the beginning, I also promised to give you a bright future. You can rest assured that Jingyang will not be worse than now. We are all in the same boat, if you dare to betray me, I will give you to the prince and let you be eunuchs."

"Don't dare. How dare I betray the Chang'an Order." Xu Jingzong said.

"I swear to the sky, even if I die without a whole body, I will not betray the Chang'an order."

Li Zheng patted the two of them on the shoulders, "What should be done is still to be done, whether it is business matters or intelligence matters. As for the matter of collecting books, you can do whatever you want. What we have to fight against is five Family name, do you know what kind of book you want?"

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "I understand."

Cheng Chumo looked at Xu Jingzong from a distance, Li Yifu and Li Zheng were chatting and laughing, always felt that the smiles of these three people were full of conspiracy and tricks, and couldn't help fighting a cold war.
