Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 310 Going to the Office of Officials

On the second day, Wang Pingan took the movable type book and Zhao Hao and set off for the Prince's Mansion.Unfortunately, Li Chengqian is not in the Prince's Mansion, he is currently working at Zongzheng Temple of the Ministry of Officials.

"Master, what should we do if the crown prince is not here?" Zhao Hao asked.

Wang Pingan said without thinking, "The crown prince is not here, let's go to the Ministry of Officials."

The two of them took the movable type and turned a few streets to the gate of the official office.

I saw two stone lions guarding the entrance, and four heavily armed soldiers on the left and right. The yamen is still very high, and you need to climb ten steps to enter the yamen.

The plaque on the door is painted with gold paint, and it is said that the words were written by Li Yuan himself.

The entire entrance can be described as high-end, atmospheric, and upscale.

A guard stopped Wang Ping'an and said, "The yamen is an important place, don't intrude."

Wang Ping'an said, "I am Wang Ping'an, the Flying Tiger General. I am here to look for the prince. Please inform me."

The guard looked at Wang Ping'an suspiciously, and said, "Wait." Then he said to the guard beside him, "Quickly report, I'll watch here." After speaking, he looked at Wang Ping'an and Zhao Hao vigilantly. two people.

After Zhao Hao saw it, he wanted to go forward to argue, but was stopped by Wang Pingan, saying: "He is dedicated to his duty, there is nothing wrong."

After hearing this, the guard felt respected and said, "General, thank you for understanding us."

Wang Pingan responded with a smile: "Occupation does not distinguish between high and low, this general understands."

Soon Li Chengqian came out, and he walked in front of Wang Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, what are you doing looking for Gu?"

Wang Pingan said: "His Royal Highness, are you planning to just let me stay at the door to talk to you?"

"Look at Gu's brain, let's go and sit in Gu's office." Li Chengqian dragged Wang Ping'an into the official office.

Li Chengqian took Wang Pingan to his office room, and saw many people looking at him with strange eyes along the way.

As he walked, he introduced the organizational structure of the Ministry of Officials, one minister, two servants, two doctors, and two Yuanwailang.

There are four chief officials in the Ministry of Officials, 30 Lingshi of the Ministry of Officials, 60 Lingshi of Shuling, 14 Lingshi of Shushu, 11 Lingshi of Jiaku, eight Pavilion Chiefs and 12 Zhanggu.

There are two chief ministers, four commanders under the banner, nine secretary officials, and four Zhanggu.
There are four directors of Si Xun, 33 under his command, 67 of Shu Ling Shi, and four of Zhang Gu.
There are three people who are in charge of the examination of merit, 15 people who are responsible for the examination of meritorious deeds, 30 people who are responsible for the history of Shuling, and four people who are responsible for Zhang Gu.

Li Chengqian's introduction was very detailed. He was arranged by Li Er as one of the heads of the official department. Fortunately, he had a separate room, which Du Ruhui arranged for him alone.

But Wang Pingan couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said in his heart: "It seems that in the next few days, I will become the after-dinner talk of these officials."

After the three of them came to a small room, Li Chengqian was curious about what Zhao Hao was carrying, so he asked, "Ping An, what is this box Zhao Hao is carrying?"

Wang Pingan pretended to be mysterious and said: "Your Highness, do you still remember that Ping An told you about the newspaper last time?"

"Remember, how can I not remember, Gu Ke has prepared everything and has been waiting for your news. Could it be that this is the printing tool you mentioned." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, this is a printing tool, I call it movable type printing." Wang Pingan said proudly.

"Haha... Ping An is here, why didn't you notify the old man?" A hearty laugh came.

Wang Pingan was very depressed, and whispered dissatisfiedly to Li Chengqian: "I was discovered so quickly. It's all your fault. I wanted to meet you secretly to talk about the situation, but now I have to face the old fox Du Uncle."

Li Chengqian suddenly realized that the matter of the newspaper should be kept secret, at least before the opening of the business, but now it seems a bit impossible.

He could only show a wry smile and said, "This time it's all Gu's fault, it's all Gu's fault."

Seeing that Li Chengqian had admitted his mistake, Wang Ping'an couldn't say anything more, so he stood up, opened the door, and smiled at the person in front of him: "I didn't know that Uncle Du was here. I'm sorry that my nephew didn't come to visit. It's really rude, please." Don’t blame Uncle Du! ”

Du Ruhui laughed and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, how can I blame the old man, I heard that you came to look for the prince, so I came to have a look."

"Master Du, please sit down." Li Chengqian invited Du Ruhui to sit down.

"Thank you, Prince." Du Ruhui sat down without any affectation.

He saw that Zhao Hao was carrying a big box, so he asked curiously, "Nephew Ping An, what kind of treasure is Zhao Hao carrying?"

"Here we come, here we come. I finally got an idea." Wang Pingan groaned inwardly. He intended to expire, but he knew that Du Ruhui was too shrewd and could easily expose lies. It would be bad for both parties, so he cheated. Better to tell the truth.

He didn't answer Du Ruhui's words, but said to Zhao Hao: "Zhao Hao put down the box, then opened the box and took out the things."

All I saw was that Zhao Hao put down the box in his hand, then opened it, and took out a dial from it.And also took out dozens of positive script molds that were made into single characters.

Du Ruhui and Li Chengqian curiously picked up the typeface, and found that the bottom of the word was engraved with characters backwards, and a word was also engraved on the front.

Du Ruhui asked curiously: "Ping An, what are you doing with so many seals engraved with individual characters, and what's the use of this square plate?"

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but rolled his eyes, thinking, "It's terrible to be uneducated."

Randomly said: "Uncle Du, Prince, this is a set of wooden movable type printing made by my nephew. These are all type blocks, and there are already [-] such type types."

"Movable type printing? Did you create Pingan again? Can you demonstrate its function on the spot?" Du Ruhui was really curious and couldn't wait to learn the function of movable type printing.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Of course, Zhao Hao paper, pen and ink."

"Yes, sir."

When Zhao Hao was preparing the paper, pen, and ink, Wang Pingan selected the individual characters according to the leaflets in the commercial plaza in his mind, arranged them and put them in the type tray, took the brush to paint the ink, and then printed on white paper. After printing, the fonts are removed, and then re-arranged for printing.

Soon two leaflets with the same content but different sentences appeared in front of Du Ruhui and Li Chengqian.

Du Ruhui stood up excitedly, and said: "This... this... this is movable type printing? It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really amazing, it's a great pioneering work, it's a great pioneering work for scholars, peace, you want to go through the ages Leave a name!"
