Chapter 307

Comrade Li Er's excitement is justified. If this color map is popularized now, it will be a great thing. Whether it is marching and fighting or daily internal management work, it will be beneficial, at least when it comes to roads or roads. When it comes to building something, you can make a decision based on the map.

Seeing the joy on Comrade Li Er's face, everyone in the room knew that Comrade Li Er was quite happy today, but Wang Ke was not overly happy, after all, in his opinion, this is also a very normal thing , if I can't even handle such a thing, it would be a waste of my time to come here through the millennium.

But Li Jing's heart is different from Wang Ke's. He didn't expect that he found a few craftsmen that Wang Ke didn't need much on weekdays, and Wang Ke actually made such a big commotion. Comrade Li Er became so excited when he saw Ye. Now Li Jing is more and more convinced that as long as Wang Ke knows his mistake a little, Wang Ke will definitely play an unexpected surprise for himself.

Just when Li Jing was thinking about what else he could do to help Wang Ke, he heard Comrade Li Er speak, quickly put away his thoughts, and listened intently to Comrade Li Er who said to Wang Ke: "Boy, how did you come up with this idea?" This method came, which is considered a good thing.”

Wang Ke could tell that Comrade Li Er was really interested in this matter, and knew that talking about this matter at this time was the easiest way to please Comrade Li Er. Erase it for yourself, but you can't take all the credit for this matter, you have to leave some for others.

Since ancient times, China has followed the doctrine of the golden mean. If there is any good thing, everyone’s interests should be equally shared. In this way, although no one’s contribution may be great in the end, who would care about what they can get from this contribution? How much in return?

Now their status has reached the peak, and now what they value most is their own reputation. What they want now is an affirmation from Comrade Li Er, saying that they have a discerning eye, which is more rewarding than giving him so many rewards. I'm happy, I just did it after doing this favor, and when I want these people to come forward to help me in the future, it will be easier for me to speak up, so why not do it!

Wang Ke quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter should be said to be the credit of Lord Li Jing and the others. When the ministers were ordered by the Emperor to set up the Map Printing Bureau, Lord Li Jing and the others took care of them. All the craftsmen were assigned to Xiaochen, including several craftsmen who specialized in printing. After seeing these craftsmen, Xiaochen thought of what Xiaochen once told the emperor. There are many types of maps that can be used There are also many places. If every map is drawn manually, I don’t know how long it will take to draw it. When the time is tight and the demand is high, I am afraid that there is no way to complete the task. So Xiao Chen then considered whether printing could be used instead of hand-painting."

When Wang Ke said this, he glanced at Li Jing and the others, and saw that Li Jing and Li Ji hadn't expressed anything. He knew that they hadn't heard what he said, and he just thought that he was telling Comrade Li Er to do this matter. What happened, I smiled secretly in my heart, and opened my mouth to continue talking.

"But after the monochrome map was printed, I felt that such a map looked a bit inconvenient, especially the military map, which could not show the terrain on the battlefield, so I came up with a bold idea, whether it can be printed To produce a colored map, first use color to represent various landforms, so that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces can see clearly at a glance what terrain is around the battlefield, which is more conducive to our army's garrison, attack and defense. For this idea Li Jing, they are very supportive, and they also encourage the little minister to experiment boldly, and they will bear any consequences, which is why the little minister is successful today."

Li Jing and Li Ji were stunned by Wang Ke's nonsense.Li Jing understood that what Wang Ke said earlier was the truth, but in the end it was completely nonsense. In this matter, he had nothing to do with him except for a few craftsmen for Wang Ke, let alone Said to encourage Wang Ke or something, Wang Ke said this, it is completely to give credit to himself, this can be heard without thinking.

"Oh, did Li Qing know about this a long time ago?" Comrade Li Er squinted at Li Jing and said, "Since Li Qing knew about it a long time ago, why didn't she tell me sooner? Could it be that she still wanted to give me a surprise? ?"

What Comrade Li Er said was not to blame Li Jing, but Comrade Li Er felt that everyone knew about this a long time ago, but they kept it from him, and only told himself when he succeeded in the end. It seems that something is missing. If I knew it early in the morning, even if I have to endure the suffering before success, it will be much more delicious than enjoying the joy of success now. The kind of enjoyment that starts with bitterness and then sweetness , It is much thicker than the one that can only enjoy the joy of success.

Li Jing and Comrade Li Er have not been thinking about getting along for a day or two. Of course, they know what Comrade Li Er said. Now that Wang Ke is putting gold on his face and reciprocating, he should help Wang Ke to talk: "The emperor Forgive me, I also thought about this matter, and I wanted to report it to the emperor beforehand, but Mr. Wang was worried that this matter would not succeed, and the emperor worked hard every day. If the experiment failed, the emperor would be in a bad mood, so the minister It was only then that I boldly suppressed this matter, thinking that I would announce the good news to the emperor after Lord Wang’s trial production was successful. Fortunately, it was not long before Lord Wang’s trial production was successful, so I came to report to the emperor as soon as I got the news today. .”

The mutual flattery of Wang Ke and Li Jing made Comrade Li Er, who didn't know the truth, feel really satisfied. After all, from the words of the two, Comrade Li Er could tell that these courtiers cared about themselves very much, and wanted to let themselves I am happy, but I am afraid that I will be unhappy if the trial production fails, and I am willing to take the risk of being reprimanded by myself, insisting on doing this successfully before I come to report the good news to myself, and I cannot fail to understand their good intentions. what!

Comrade Li Er can think this way, and he can also be happy because this matter is very complete, and the courtiers are also very thoughtful for themselves, but Li Ji, who knows the details of this matter and can see the cause and effect clearly, listens to it. It's different. Hearing Wang Ke and Li Jing's words, he just felt chills.

However, things in the imperial court have always been concealed. It is not uncommon to say good things to each other in front of Comrade Li Er. , That’s really trivial, it’s just an ordinary narration, and you say it quietly, and you won’t let others notice it, if you haven’t been involved in this matter from beginning to end Li, who is very clear about the whole matter, probably will be deceived by their words, so the expression now must be exactly the same as that of Comrade Li Er.

Wang Ke and Li Jing looked at each other tacitly, knowing in their hearts that the other party was saying good things for themselves, but there was no expression on their faces, they sat there calmly, waiting for Comrade Li Er Continuing to talk, the calmness shown by the two really made Li Ji feel ashamed.

Comrade Li Er looked at each map carefully before placing it on the imperial case, and then picked up the scroll that Li Jing and the others had read before they came in, looked at the map from time to time, and then looked at the scroll in his hand , all the people here don't know what he wants to see.

After a while, Comrade Li Er raised his head and asked Li Tai, "What does Tai Er think about these concentrated injections?"

When Li Jing and the others were talking happily just now, Li Tai had been sitting there silently, unable to get in a word. After all, he had never been in contact with these things on weekdays, so he had no idea what these things were useful for.

Mrs. Li's face seemed calm, but she was a little annoyed in her heart. She entered the palace excitedly, just to let Comrade Li Er see her achievements, but who would have thought that these blind people would come here Putting in a stick, he diverted Comrade Li Er's attention from the notes he had compiled, and he could still see that these things were more interesting to Comrade Li Er than his notes. Li Tai really felt resentful in his heart.

Now seeing that Comrade Li Er turned his attention to his focus again, Li Tai quickly stood up and said, "Father, this is what I think. When my son reported this matter to Father, Father There is the intention to let the minister use this collection of notes to educate the world's students. The minister thought that as long as the father and the emperor have reviewed the collection of the annotations of the son, the minister will arrange for someone to copy the collection of one or two thousand copies as a teaching material. For those who study in the academy Mr. Wang mentioned, I wonder what my father thinks?"

Li Tai's calculation is quite good. Last time, Wang Ke suggested that Comrade Li Er establish a college for students from all over the world to study in. Comrade Li Er also intends to let Li Tai be the person in charge of the college. Li Tai used this collection of annotations for these students as a model. This book was compiled by his organization. Li Tai's name is bound to be widely circulated among these students. This can be regarded as giving him a reputation. If you take any action, there will definitely be a lot of people who will respond, so that you won't fight because you are alone. This can be regarded as a very good idea.

When Wang Ke first proposed this idea, it actually had a deep meaning. In the era of the Tang Dynasty, literati did not have the same high status as later, and military officers in the army also had the same status as civilian officials. Talking is sometimes more effective than civil servants, so I don't have any objections to Li Tai wanting to jump out and get a place in the court, so I agree with Comrade Li Er's idea, at least in this way. It is possible to use Li Tailai to contain Prince Li Chengqian and get some benefits for Li Ke who is standing in the dark.

Comrade Li Er seems to have no objection to Li Tai's thoughts, but he does not agree with some things in Li Tai's words. From Comrade Li Er's expression, Wang Ke knows that Comrade Li Er must have something. What do you think, but Comrade Li Er didn't say it, so I can't guess it.

After a while, Comrade Li Er asked Wang Ke in a hesitant tone: "Boy, I see that there are a lot of words on your map, and they are also printed on it. I don't know that pure words can also be printed. ?"

As soon as Comrade Li Er said this, Wang Ke immediately understood that Comrade Li Er wanted to help Li Tai to print these annotated notes, but this is also very normal. There are so many volumes in this annotated book. According to Li Tai, there will be more than 1000 or [-] copies, so how many people will it take and how long will it take to complete the copying? It's really not as fast as letting Wang Ke come here to print it.

But now there is a problem that Wang Ke also thought of at the same time, that is, the current printing and engraving blocks are all carved into individual printing plates, and each page has to be carved with a printing plate. It is even more troublesome to make a map. If there is a wrong word, it will not work. As long as there is a typo, the whole board will be scrapped. The project of engraving the board is huge, and it will take a long time.

If there are too many printings, one set of printing plates may not be enough. Now I only have a few printing craftsmen in my hands, and they have to be rigid and print. We can't look at each other from head to tail.
