874. Movable type printing, finished

After talking with Li Xiaogong for a long time in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Li Pojun returned to the East Palace, his one-month confinement period has arrived, and he can already "get out of prison", Li Pojun can just go out to see, although he hasn't gone out for a month, but everything is remotely controlled, and Li Pojun is not afraid of what moths will come out of the villa and those industries.

But there are always some surprises in the ordinary life inadvertently, Li Pojun just returned to the East Palace, and he saw Qiu'er greet him, "Lang Jun, Li Lang Jun and Ah Zheng have been waiting for a long time."

Li Pojun picked it up when he heard this, and strode in, Li Zhen was holding a book and reading it excitedly, and Li Zheng was also holding a book to look at it here, and he was amazed.

"What books are you so fascinated by?" Li Pojun walked in, and they didn't notice it yet.

"Ah, Lang Jun is finally back, come on, look at this." Li Zheng saw Li Pojun coming in, and he also excitedly handed over the book in his hand.

Li Pojun looked at it suspiciously, isn't this the Analects, there is something to see, but he soon found the problem.

The book is printed, the text is neat, the size is uniform, the typography is clear and orderly, the handwriting is clear and visible, and the same words look exactly the same.

Li Pojun quickly thought of it and shouted, "Qiu'er, bring this copy of the Analects." The books in Li Pojun's study filled the whole room, and there were basic Confucian books like the Analects.

Soon Qiu'er came over with a copy of "The Analects", and Li Pojun opened it and looked at it, and he was even more excited when he compared the two.

Li Pojun's original "Analects" was also printed, but the engraving printing, there are many ink marks, the handwriting is not very clear, and there are often ink stains.

Looking at this book again, it is much more sophisticated, Li Pojun immediately asked with great joy: "Movable type printing is done?" ”

Li Zheng was also amazed, "Yes, I didn't expect this movable type printing to be so good, the printed words are very clear, the quality is good, and it will definitely be able to sell it at a good price."

Li Zhen also said in amazement on the side: "And according to Ah Zheng, the efficiency of this printing is very high, a set of molds carved out, you can print continuously, and even if a word is wrong, you don't need to re-engrave the whole plate, this movable type printing saves time, effort and cost, it is simply a feat for the benefit of all people, and the books that scholars read in the future will not be so expensive, it is really a great creation."

Li Pojun glanced at Li Zhen appreciatively, and glared at Li Zheng angrily, this kid's attention was not on the right place, and he only had to make money and make a fortune in his eyes.

Looking at the Analects printed with movable type in his hand, Li Pojun thought for a while, and said straightly: "Ah Zheng, are the craftsmen's families all in the villa?" ”

"Here, didn't Lang Jun say that he wanted to keep it secret, those craftsmen are all white, and their families are also arranged in the back mountain." Li Zheng replied.

"Well, in the future, each family will increase their money by ten times a month, and they must be caught, you must remember one thing, the secret of printing technology cannot be revealed, at least not without my order", Li Pojun said with a very serious face.

Li Zheng also responded solemnly when he saw this, and Li Pojun said: "Jingyang, go back and let Dingfang increase the protection of the back mountain, be sure to ensure the safety of printing, and the shadow must also be strictly supervised."

Li Zhen also responded, his eyes were shining, and with his wisdom, he knew the importance of movable type printing as soon as he learned about it.

"Go back and let the craftsmen print a large number of four books and five classics, and then print thousands of sets of each book first." Li Pojun looked at Li Zheng again and ordered. Li Zheng's face was bitter when he heard this, and he said distressedly: "How many sets of paper do you need to print each book, and how much does it cost?" ”

"Nonsense, how can this be measured by money, you can find some innocent craftsmen and build a paper mill in the back mountain, which is the same as the printing factory, with preferential treatment and strict supervision." Seeing this, Li Pojun shouted, Li Zheng is okay with money, but the pattern is too small, and he still hasn't realized the importance of printing technology to the world's readers.

Li Zheng saw that Li Pojun became serious, and he also scratched his head and said: "Lang Jun, hehe, I'm just talking, just talking", after saying that, he seemed to remember something, and said directly: "Lang Jun, Cuihua Mountain is big enough, but a lot of land is not ours, the land we bought from Song Guogong is only this piece of the villa, in fact, the big piece of land we use in the back mountain is someone else's, and the entire back mountain of Cuihua Mountain seems to be the land in the former Guogong's house."

Li Pojun patted his head when he heard this, too, although the mountains behind Cuihua Mountain are mostly mountainous, they also have masters, but they can't be used at will, even if he is the prince, he can't encroach on other people's places at will, it's just ...... Predecessor... What the hell is Guogong?

"What former Guogong? What is the last name? Make the words clear". Li Pojun was a little confused, he was not familiar with many officials in the current dynasty, and besides, did he have a predecessor? Even if it's the predecessor, but the prince of the country must have a title.

Seeing this, Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Ren Guogong Liu Hongji, wasn't he dismissed from office, so I said before... Ren Guogong". Saying that, Li Bai wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Liu Hongji's land? Oh, yes, Liu Hongji was dismissed from office, and Li Pojun knew that when he heard the news, he felt that Liu Hongji was very aggrieved. Why was he dismissed? It's all a good friend of the North Black Pit.

Liu Hongji has a good friend named Li Xiaochang, do you think this name is very familiar, that's right, this is Li Shimin's accession to the throne, trying to beat the tiger beard to rebel Li Xiaochang, after Li Xiaochang was defeated and killed, he naturally wanted to clean up the rest of the party, as a result, Liu Hongji was involved in his close relationship with Li Xiaochang, and he should be beheaded, or Li Shimin felt that Liu Hongji had the first merit in founding the country, remembered the old feelings, and spared his life, but he was dismissed from office, and his family property and property were kept for him, so that he became a rich man in the capital.

In fact, Liu Hongji is really wronged, he just has a good relationship with Li Xiaochang, and he has absolutely no intention of participating in the rebellion, Li Shimin also knows this, otherwise it would be impossible to spare him, but who told them to have a good relationship, the big crime of rebellion, but it can't be accommodating, so Liu Hongji will be wronged.

By the way, Liu Hongji is also a powerful person, he followed Li Shimin when Li Shimin had not rebelled, after Li Yuan's father and son rebelled, Liu Hongji, as a vanguard, personally killed Song Laosheng, the defender of Huoyi, the Tang army won the first battle, and later conquered Feng Yi, occupied Fufeng, all the way to Chang'an, directly defeated Wei Wensheng, the guard general of Sui Chang'an, took the lead in breaking Chang'an, and made the first contribution to pacifying Chang'an, that is, the first merit of opening the Tang Dynasty.
