The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1753 Type
"Well, that's the reason." Xuan Shijing said: "Besides, things won't be as bad as we imagined, and there are other things."

"What else?" Li Tai asked.

"Movable type printing technology, lead type is for you, isn't there wooden and clay characters? Chang'an City has a plethora of merchants, and there are also bookstores in this industry. At that time, the printing workshop will not only be your Highness, King Wei One person, if the aristocratic family attacks this matter, they will uproot the entire Chang'an City, and even the entire printing workshop in Guanzhong? Are you really not afraid that scholars all over the world will scold them?"

"It's true, so speaking of it, no one will touch the interests anyway." Li Tai laughed.

That's kind of a good thing.

The world is bustling with fame and fortune. For such a thing, fame and fortune are all taken up. What else can he complain about?As a member of the royal family, he would never stand in the same place with the family, and he was afraid of offending others.

His own imperial brothers, or those family relatives who have nothing to do with him?

"By the way, after the workshop is opened, first print a few batches of books for the academy on Zhuangzi, for urgent use." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Since there is this way, why not find some convenience for the academy, and it is also convenient for the students of the academy. In this way, the students who are still studying in Zhuangzi will be the first to benefit, because the cost of studying can be reduced. For the academy, it doesn't do much, but for the students' families, it can save some money.

For a student, the money may not show much, but how many students are there in the academy that Zhuangzi attended.

"You." Seeing that Xuan Shijing had gone to the academy in Zhuangzi again, Li Tai smiled helplessly and said, "Succeed, when the workshop starts up, I will do my best at your academy at any time, but the movable type For the fee, there is no need to pay the engineering school for the workshop, right?"

"These things are all made by the students of the engineering college. You are a majestic prince, and you have the heart to embezzle this little money from others?" Xuan Shijing asked back.

Li Tai waved his hand: "Yes, I should just take the things and go straight away. I won't mention this to you, and I can save a lot of money."

"Then Your Highness, you are thinking too much. After all, you are the dean of the engineering school. How can you harm the public and private interests? This is to make money with the achievements of the students. If you feel that the money is solid, then you don't have to pay it. Money." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Li Tai smiled, this little money, he can still pay for a dignified King Wei, just now and Xuan Shijing, the two of them were just joking.

"At first, I thought it would be difficult to print the moveable type that you proposed." Li Tai said with a smile, "It's not difficult to say such an experiment, but why didn't anyone think of it before?"

"Lack of the spirit of detection." Xuan Shijing said: "The other thing is that the court doesn't pay attention."

For this, the students of the College of Engineering have already practiced it personally, but no matter whether it is thinking or concept, it cannot be changed overnight. The students of the Academy come in and leave generation by generation. The predecessors lay the foundation for the future generations. Later generations consolidate while developing on the basis of predecessors. This is the true meaning of the existence of engineering colleges, rather than simply cultivating excellent craftsmen for Datang.

In fact, the people in the Central Plains have never stopped moving forward. At least in the Ming Dynasty, they have always been at the forefront of the world.

It's just that after the Manchu Qing entered the customs, they made one wrong step and another wrong step, until the western powers opened the country's gate with cannons.

The ridiculous thing is that after being awakened by the cannon, those in power still think it is a dream, and feel that their country is long.

"The court doesn't pay attention?" Li Tai asked.

"Yeah, do you think that the court values ​​craftsmen? Does it value the things produced by craftsmen?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "The court's reward system for craftsmen, isn't the prince ignorant?"

Li Tai nodded: "I know that."

"So? Folk artisans work hard to make new things. It takes at least three to five years, and at most it takes a lifetime of effort. Some even need to be passed on for several generations. After they are made, what is the reaction of the court? If your highness is a craftsman, would you be willing? Is it worth it?" Xuan Shijing said: "Your highness has been working in the engineering college for several years. How are the craftsmen in the engineering college? How about the craftsmen, you will know when you compare them, and His Highness also knows how the college rewards the students of the engineering college after they research new and useful things, so when you compare them, you can make a decisive decision."

The skills of craftsmen are not valued, this is the fault of the imperial court, what is said about scholars, farmers, businessmen, people originally proposed this concept to include the people of the world, not to rank people, but later generations misinterpreted it into this appearance, which is also intoxicating .

"This issue has been mentioned before, and now it is so intuitively displayed in front of our eyes, the court should indeed reflect on it, especially the Ministry of Industry, like a blood-sucking bug, it sucked the blood of craftsmen at first, and now there are After entering the Engineering College, I started to absorb the blood of the Engineering College, but there is no way, the Engineering College does not belong to the imperial court, and there is no way to give jobs to craftsmen, so the many names of the Ministry of Industry are still attractive to craftsmen." Xuan Shi Jing smiled helplessly.

The Ministry of Industry extended an olive branch to the artisans of the Institute of Technology, offering official positions and money. Although the money may not be earned as much in the Institute of Engineering after arriving at the Ministry of Industry, many artisans have rushed to official positions because they can honor their ancestors and have a good Mingtou, once he returns home, he will be a shining star in the village.

People need face, trees need bark, telephone poles need cement, windows have paper, and kangs have seats. I would rather suffer wronged stomachs than lose face.

How many people's inner portrayal is this?

The engineering college has a lot of money, and the Ministry of Industry has official positions, but the money is less, but most of the people in the engineering college still choose the Ministry of Industry, so that they can live up to their face.

"Then is there anything to change in this situation?" Li Tai asked.

"Your Highness is the dean of the engineering college, think for yourself." Xuan Shijing said: "I will be busy in the future."

Everything is counted on him, so he must not be exhausted. The Institute of Engineering has existed longer than the academy attended by Zhuangzi, and its development is becoming more and more mature. Xuan Shijing has already let go. It makes no sense to grab him, and he is also busy. But come on, besides, it's not that the Tang Dynasty is not peaceful in the east and west, where does Xuan Shijing have so much spare time to give advice to Li Tai.

Li Tai is not stupid, just lazy.

Otherwise, can you be so rich?

"Yes, I know you are a busy man, so I don't need to bother you. Anyway, in the future, you will have a lot of space in the engineering college. At that time, hehe." Li Tai looked at Xuan Shijing with a malicious smile and said .
