Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 124

I don't know when!

When Li Gen called his grandpa a brat, he felt very kind!

Li Gen raised his head with a smile, looked at his grandfather's kind face, and said.

"Grandpa, grandson will do another big thing. Once this thing is successful, it will benefit future generations. Your Majesty must reward grandson heavily!"

Li Gen's words revived Li Yuan instantly.

"How big is it? Is it bigger than the number one scholar you took the exam?"

"Grandpa, it's much better than being admitted to the number one scholar. The number one scholar is only for a while, and once this matter is successful, it will be more than a lifetime fame, enough to last forever!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan moved his head closer.

"Stinky boy, so powerful? What's the matter?"

Li Gen's fingers were sore when he was engraving, so he sat down and looked at his grandfather and said.

"Grandpa, why are you illiterate?"

"Stinky boy, grandpa sees you as begging for beating."

Li Yuan raised his palm high, but finally dropped it lightly.

How could he be willing to beat this child!
"Grandson, it's not just grandpa who can't read. In this vast land, there are too many illiterate people like grandpa."

"The countryside is no better than Chang'an City. There is no teacher. Even if there is a teacher, you can't afford Shuxiu! Even if you can afford Shuxiu, you can't afford paper, inkstone, pen and ink..."

Grandpa's words made Li Gen fall into silence.

In this era, knowledge is only in the hands of a few people.

That's why Lu Rong and Cui Can, who have five surnames and seven Wangs in the imperial examination, are so proud and confident.

Although the reality was slapped in the face by Li Gen.

However, Li Gen knew that if he was not a time traveler.

I couldn't pass the poetry test at all.

My real material is just a few limericks!

What moonlight in front of the window, two pairs of shoes on the ground!

There is also Chunmian unconsciously, and mosquitoes bite everywhere!
This is also plagiarized and adapted!
"Looking at it now, your father was right to run away from home, otherwise, grandpa wouldn't be able to see what he looks like today!"

After listening to his grandfather's words, Li Gen moved closer to his grandfather and spoke.

"Grandpa, my grandson's engraving these clays is to engrave characters on them. If they are successful, they can be used to engrave books."

"What? Printed books?"

Li Yuanteng stood up immediately.

"Grandpa, don't get excited, sit down and listen to your grandson speak slowly!"

It's no wonder Li Yuan isn't excited.

If Li Gen can really use this clay to engrave books.

That was a really big deal.

"Grandpa, my grandson has already started to teach Lele her homework. Lele is still young, so she has been copying with a brush. It is indeed very hard."

"If the grandson can engrave the books, Lele will not have to copy so hard in the future, and it can save a lot of paper."

"At that time, my grandson will go to the Imperial College to ask Master Kong for advice, and ask the master to produce a few sets of textbooks, and my grandson will engrave all of them into books. Wouldn't it be much easier for Lele to study?"

"The grandson only needs to explain to Lele according to the teaching materials. Lele can also study with books in his spare time."

"The engraved books, bound into volumes, must last longer and be more durable than hand-copied books!"

"And because of its small font size, one book can equal the number of words in several handwritten books..."

Li Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter!

This grandson is full of wisdom!
Is this really something he could come up with?
Li Yuan began to doubt life more and more.

"Okay, grandson, work hard, grandpa supports you."

Li Yuan said solemnly

"Well, grandpa, grandson will definitely work hard and succeed."

Changle learned that it turned out to be using clay to engrave letters and engrave books for himself.

I was moved to tears.

Early the next morning!

Zhao Si and Feng Wu led a group of people from restaurants and shops to Chang'an City!

After arranging everyone, Zhao Si and Feng Wu explained a few words.

Then, go straight to the palace!

"Brother Chang, why did that person look like a guy from Fulgen Restaurant just now?"

Chang He and Ma Zhou, who had just retreated from the court, passed by Zhao Si on the Imperial City Avenue!

Ma Zhou is in an infinitely good mood!
Today, when he took office as the censor for the first time, he was assigned a house.

Although it was only a remote house in Chang'an City closest to the west city wall, Ma Zhou was very satisfied.

"Bin Wang, you must have misjudged the person, Bin Wang is so happy!"

"Come on, let's hurry up and go back and tidy up your house first!"

Chang He naturally recognized that the person galloping past just now was the guy from Fugen Restaurant yesterday.

Judging from this posture, he must have gone straight to the palace.

A fellow dared to be direct, and galloped straight to the palace.

Chang He became more certain that his guess yesterday was true.

"Brother Chang, King Bin is really happy, maybe it's because King Bin is dazzled!"

Ma Zhou laughed, and the two walked side by side to the carriage.

For officials like them, carriages are not allowed to enter the palace.

Of course, if it is due to illness or inconvenient legs and feet, that is another matter!

Tai Chi Palace!
In the royal study!

Li Shimin flipped through the memorial with great joy.

This morning, Cheng Yaojin made an urgent report!

According to the art of making salt.

Last night, it was successfully extracted from the former poisonous salt mine into snowflake-like refined salt.

Li Shimin acted decisively and canceled the salt supply and sales restrictions.

The biggest problem has been solved, and Li Shimin has decided that when the severe drought and locust plague are over, he will deal with Tuyuhun and Turks severely.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Si begs to see you!"

Hearing the words of Li Delu, the chief servant, Li Shimin immediately put down the memorial in his hand.

"Let him in!"

Li Shimin knew that once Zhao Si entered the palace, there must be something important to report.

"Your Majesty, His Highness is preparing to print books, and the Supreme Emperor asked his subordinates to report to His Majesty."

When Li Shimin heard the words, he immediately bounced off the ground.

"Zhao Si, say it again!"

After getting Zhao Si's affirmative answer.

Excited, Li Shimin circled around the imperial study.

Print books!

This simply made Li Shimin unable to believe or imagine.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Your Highness did this is to make it easier for His Royal Highness to study her lessons!"

Li Shimin nodded excitedly.

Once this is accomplished, it will be more convenient for Changle to study his lessons!

This is a great event that benefits the country, the people, and future generations!

Li Shimin regretted that he left the manor too early.

"Come here, send an order to Duke Su!"

At this time, Li Shimin felt that Cheng Yaojin was still reliable.

"Your Majesty, Su Guogong just went to the Weishui River to make salt yesterday, and now I am afraid that the edict will not arrive in a while?"

After hearing the words of Li Delu, the chief servant, Li Shimin remembered that he was happy and confused.

"Go to the Chuanzhao Cheng to meet silently!"

After Li Shimin asked about the manor, he asked Zhao Si to withdraw.
