Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 332 Adviser Xue Lang
"Movable type? What is movable type?"

asked the saint.

Xue Lang explained the movable type printing method to the saint.A sage is not a fool, and he can understand the benefits as soon as he hears it.Compared with woodblock printing, movable type printing only needs to make a good type model, which can be done once and for all.

"...Compared with engraving, the biggest disadvantage of movable type printing is that it cannot print pictures. If you need to print pictures, you can only continue to use engraving."

Xue Lang added.The sage nodded, looking at the "Thousand Characters" in his hand, his mind turned.Xue Lang quietly raised his head to look, took out his play, and handed it up: "Please read it, the sage!"

The sage took it, frowned to calm the anger in his heart, and just started, the servant came to report: "Everyone, King Qin and Duke Pei are here!"

As soon as he heard that King Qin had arrived, the sage showed anger on his face, so he didn't look at Shu Zuo, and said directly: "Let King Qin and Pei Ji come in!"

Xue Lang and Princess Pingyang looked at each other, Princess Pingyang's red lips tightened a bit, Xue Lang felt a little regretful, and was a little disappointed in the saint.

"I have seen my father."

King Qin hadn't gotten up before saluting, he felt something bumping towards him, subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, a teacup hit his shoulder and fell to the ground.The king of Qin dared not get up, and prostrated himself again: "Father, calm down."

Princess Pingyang, Xue Lang, and Pei Ji also bowed: "Father (saint) calm down!"

The sage scolded angrily: "Calm your anger? Shimin, do you still have my father in your eyes?"

The king of Qin was puzzled, but he still respectfully said: "I don't know what angered my father? It's because my son is not filial. Please calm down my father so as not to damage the dragon's body."

Li Yuan ignored him, and asked angrily: "Zhang Jieyu's father took my edict to ask for the property, and you have already promised it to others. My edict is not as good as your king's teaching?"

This is serious!

"Aye!"

Princess Pingyang called the saint directly, as if she wanted to remind the saint.The King of Qin knelt down without saying a word, and said with a straight neck: "This matter is not a father's decree, but the son's king's instruction. Land property should be given to meritorious ministers. Can Zhang Jieyu's father have a meager contribution? Why reward it? What qualifications do you have to compete with heroes for land property!"

The sage's face became more angry, and he reprimanded: "I am the lord of the world, and I am an emperor. Isn't it okay to reward those close to me with land?"

King Qin knelt down without saying a word, but expressed his protest in silence.

Princess Pingyang frowned, and was about to speak, when Xue Lang stretched out his hand to pull her, shook his head in the face of her unclear gaze, pointed at himself, did not make a sound, only made mouth shapes——

let me!
Princess Pingyang withdrew her steps and waited for Xue Lang to deal with her.

Xue Lang didn't speak, just took two steps forward, bowed to the saint, and then, without waiting for the saint's words to excuse him, he straightened up, stood upright, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, and untied his head in a calm manner. He took a step forward respectfully and carefully placed the crown of advancement on the ground.Then, he stepped back again, untied the belt around his waist, folded the round collar robe neatly, and placed it next to Jinxian Crown.

"Xue Qing's family, what do you mean by this?"

The sage was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't care to be angry with King Qin, so he asked quickly.Pei Ji, who almost regarded himself as an invisible person when he came in, looked at Xue Lang silently, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

With a solemn expression on his face, Xue Lang bowed and bowed his hands in salute: "Please ask the sage to beg for the bones!"

"What?"

The sage had an expression of "Did I hear you wrong?", Pei Ji's mouth was so startled that he could see the back molars.King Qin, who was kneeling, couldn't help but look up at Xue Lang, his face full of surprise.Only Princess Pingyang glanced at Xue Lang, understood his meaning in her heart, and remained silent decisively.

Xue Lang said: "A virtuous and sage king does not privately care for his relatives, but bestows them on those who have made a lot of achievements; he does not follow his love for officials, but treats those who are able to do so. Therefore, those who are able to award officials are successful kings; Those who make friends are also people who are famous. Those who are in power do not reward private labor, and do not punish private grievances. Rewards must be added to meritorious service, and punishments must be judged for crimes!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Lang raised his head and glanced at the saint. The saint's face was burning hot, and he was speechless for a moment.Xue Lang continued: "I am not talented. Apart from a full stomach of knowledge, there is no sister in my family who dedicated to the saint. Even if there is some meager credit, if you receive a reward based on your merit, if you are in the saint's personal favor in the future, you will not be able to do the credit." There are too many to count, and the rewards you get may have to be given to others."

After finishing speaking, he paused, not caring about the sage's hot face, and continued: "Since making contributions to the country and the people, going through life and death to expand the territory for the sage is not as good as having a beautiful and loving daughter, so it's better to say goodbye The official will go home and be a happy and rich man, enjoying the blessings. Please ask the saints to beg for the bones!"

"Xue Lang! You...you...Tian Shelang! How dare you rely on favors and merits to be arrogant?"

The saint was furious. While his face was hot, he was a little bit annoyed, and couldn't help scolding Xue Lang.

Tian Shelang, in the Tang Dynasty, it was tantamount to scolding a country bumpkin. Attacking people from their origin is a very heavy curse!Xue Lang's face was serious and he said: "The words of a sage, I don't dare to be a minister. The minister is just prepared for danger in times of peace, planning in advance, and being prepared!"

"You...! Pingyang! This kind of person who has no king in his eyes is the one you recommended! Are you trying to piss me off?"

This is definitely venting anger!
Xue Lang made no secret of this meaning, looking at the saint without speaking.Princess Pingyang's face was serene, her expression was calm, and she knelt down gracefully and freely: "I was studying when I was young, and my mother once let her read the book "Xunzi". If the mouth cannot speak, but the body can do it, it is a national weapon; if the mouth can speak, but the body cannot do it, it is used by the state; if the mouth speaks good, but the body does evil, the state is also a monster. Those who rule the country respect their treasures, love their tools, and let them be. Use it to get rid of its demons. Aye, as the son of heaven, should be like this. My young Yang, a national treasure, is recommended by my son to Aye. It is because of loyalty to my ministers and filial piety to my children. Where did Aye come from? Blame it?"

What Her Royal Highness said——

The saint was speechless.Xue Lang couldn't keep the serious expression on his face, and his smile was as bright as a flower.Qin Wang was obviously also quite frightened, looking at his elder sister, he was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Pei Ji...Pei Ji, this old cunning, looked at the saint, then at King Qin, Princess Pingyang, and Xue Lang who were kneeling on the ground, carefully pondered what Princess Pingyang said just now, and decisively stopped pretending to be a fool, took a step forward, and gave a big gift Prayer: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint!"

The sage gave him an unhappy look: "Where does my joy come from?"

Pei Ji laughed and said: "A saint has beautiful sons and daughters, loyal ministers, and a good son-in-law. Isn't it a great joy? Shouldn't we congratulate him?"

The sage snorted arrogantly, and said angrily, "What kind of girl is such a good girl, she will only anger me!"

But he didn't refute Pei Ji's theory of a loyal minister and virtuous son-in-law!Xue Lang, who was kneeling with a smile all over his face, couldn't help but widen the smile on his face, grinning almost to the ears!

The saint gave him a disgusted look, but didn't say anything.Pei Ji smiled and said: "The sage has a son King Qin, who is loyal to his ministers and filial to his son. Isn't it a joy? The sage has a daughter, Princess Pingyang, who expands the territory for the sage, guards the land and consolidates the border, recommends good talents, and assists the sage. Wouldn't it be another joy? To have good ministers who can offend Yan Zhizhi and not avoid them because of the prestige of a sage, wouldn't it be another joy for a sage to hear that the Ming ruler has admonishing ministers?"
