875. Not good

Although Liu Hongji is now dismissed from office, this does not mean that he is completely finished, like Xiao Yu, an old stubborn who does not meet Li Shimin's wishes, can be dismissed twice six times, and it is reactivated, Liu Hongji, as Li Shimin's old comrade-in-arms, how can the descendants of the generals step down like this, Li Shimin's meaning is to let Liu Hongji retire first, and then use him after the limelight of King Yi'an's rebellion.

Li Pojun vaguely remembers that Liu Hongji made great achievements in the later expedition to Liaodong, and was awarded a coaxing auxiliary general, this is the rank of Zheng Erpin, and it is exclusive to Li Pojun Zhengyipin Tiance General and the unique generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, so although Liu Hongji's reputation is not as loud as Qin Shubaocheng's bite gold, but he is a full boss, Li Pojun did not guess wrong, if nothing else, in a few months, Liu Hongji will be enabled by Li Shimin, Or reuse.

With such a character, it is naturally impossible for Li Pojun to force his land, and he has to go to Li Shimin. It just so happened that the results of this movable type printing were going to be reported to Li Shimin.

"You go back first, do as I tell you, be sure to keep it secret, and those who are afraid of spying, arrest them first." Li Pojun looked at Li Zheng and the two and said directly.

After the two left, Li Pojun picked up two different copies of the Analects and went straight to the Liangyi Palace.

"Ayah, heck, don't review those notes yet, take a look at this first." Li Pojun didn't need to be informed, and when he entered the hall, he saw Li Shimin sitting crookedly with a pen in his hand, and he seemed to be very skinny.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Pojun helplessly, looking at the whole world, the one who dared to snatch the pen from his hand was this kid.

"What's that?" Li Shimin took the two books curiously and looked at them, frowning, "Analects? You kid want to test me? Li Shimin glanced at Li Pojun and snorted twice.

"Hehe, this one, Aya opened this one and looked at it, and saw what was different." Li Pojun said with a smile and pointed to the movable type printed.

Li Shimin opened the letter suspiciously and looked at it, isn't this the Analects, he looked puzzled, and finally became a little impatient, and looked at Li Pojun, "Tell me quickly, Lao Tzu still has a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to grind with you."

Li Pojun was sweating profusely, and his father's observation was not good, so he hurriedly pointed to the book and said: "Aya, didn't you see that the handwriting in this book is the same size, and all of them are clearly visible, and there are no ink stains?" And you can see that the same character looks exactly the same, even the stroke of the pen is the same."

Li Shimin finally noticed this problem, looked at the book and nodded, "This book is really well printed, and it must be engraved by a clever craftsman."

Li Pojun sweated again, pointed to another book and said with a smile: "This book is engraved by the most skilled craftsman in the palace, Aye, you can compare it again."

Li Shimin is still more obedient, and opened another book, a comparison, is a slight frown, these two books are completely in stark contrast, the whole good and inferior products of the sense of sight.

"Well, this print is really different, and the words "sub" in this article are exactly the same, square. Well? Same...... Could it be? Li Shimin seemed to think of something, suddenly sat up straight, and stared at Li Pojun.

Li Pojun nodded with a smile and said, "Aya, movable type printing, successful."

"Success, that means there will be all the books in the future?" Li Shimin also grabbed Li Pojun's hand and asked in surprise.

Li Pojun naturally understands why Li Shimin is so excited, as soon as movable type printing comes out, the price of books will no longer be so expensive, everyone will be able to afford it, and it will no longer be monopolized by the family, with cheap books, the children of the poor can also study, and more poor officials like Ma Zhou can be promoted in the future, this is a big killer against the family, how can Li Shimin not like it.

"As long as there is paper, books will be all over the world, and the prices will be very low." Li Pojun also couldn't bear to hit Li Shimin's enthusiasm, and said bluntly.

Li Shimin frowned again when he heard this, and said: "Printing has been improved, but paper is still expensive, but ordinary people can't afford it."

Li Pojun listened and said: "Haha, paper is easy to solve, today's papermaking raw materials are only bark, hemp and bark open cloth, etc., plus the monopoly of papermaking merchants, so the price of paper is high." In fact, these are not the only raw materials used to make paper."

Li Shimin was excited again when he heard this, and said with great joy: "Since Cai Hou's improvement, the raw materials for papermaking for hundreds of years have only been these, is there anything else?" ”

"Of course, rattan, mulberry, bamboo, rice stalks, wheat straw and so on can be paper-making, paper-making methods are similar, simple operation, we only need to spread the paper-making method and raw materials to the world, the people of the world have many hard-working and intelligent people, how can they not make paper." Li Pojun said excitedly, as if he saw the day when every household in the world could afford to buy paper and read.

Li Shimin's face turned red with excitement when he heard this, and he looked at the printed Analects in his hand, clenched his fists and was silent.

After a long time, Li Shimin looked up at Li Pojun, "Hu slave, this matter is related to my Li Tang national fortune, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not cause chaos." How do you plan to operate? ”。

Li Pojun also said solemnly: "I mean don't make a noise first, I have a paper mill and a printing factory in the back mountain of Hulong Villa, and I will first print the four books, the five classics, the law, and arithmetic, and then open a bookstore in Chang'an to sell books at a low price." Then slowly expand the business. Then the imperial court stepped forward to provide papermaking technology and advocate papermaking for all. I believe that in the near future, the price of paper and books in Datang will be very low."

Li Shimin nodded slowly when he heard this, what Li Pojun said was indeed the safest way, suddenly, Li Shimin paused, looked at Li Pojun, pointed and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a money fan, sell books at a low price, this is another big source of wealth, and you have to make a lot of money." After that, he said: "This is very important, and it may be impossible for you to run it yourself."

Li Pojun scratched his head and smiled when he heard this, "Aya, it's funny, how can I swallow this alone." After that, he casually took out a blank piece of paper from the dragon case, picked up the pen and planned: "This bookstore is also assigned to the Tang Royal Commercial Group. The treasury of the palace accounts for 30%, the treasury accounts for 30%, I only account for 10%, one component is given to the royal family, and the remaining 20% is divided by the eldest grandson Fang Du and several other families, and the list is set by Aye. Aya, what do you think? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he blew his beard and glared, slapped the desk angrily and said, "It's not good, what about mine?" And your mother's."
