As soon as Li Longji's voice fell, several brothers present subconsciously remained silent.

After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he adopted Yao Chong's ten admonitions, made great efforts, and the national strength continued to rise, quite the style of the rule of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, however, behind the prosperity, the border in the early days of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was far from being as stable as Mount Tai when Zhenguan.

Taizong Li Shimin has both civil and military skills, is on horseback to seize the country, under the command of a large number of talents, famous generals, Li Jing, Cheng Biting Jin, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Shubao and other generals are all in charge of the generals, specializing in all kinds of disobedience, with their own cultural and martial arts, to play a "heavenly Khan" reputation, adjacent small countries under Li Er's edge, too late to hide, how dare to provoke?

After several generations of stable days, the former famous Tang Iron Cavalry seemed to have been worn away by the comfortable days, and the generals were adjusted to zero, that is, last year, the general Xue Ne led 60,000 elite soldiers in the battle of Luanshui Valley and wiped out the whole army, and only a few hundred people escaped, which gave Li Longji, who worked hard, a blow to the head.

After the battle of Luanshui Valley, the Khitan became more and more rampant and repeatedly provoked, and Tubo saw that the Tang Dynasty was "weak", and people also had signs of stirring up trouble.

The general Xue Ne's army was defeated in Luanshui Valley, and he was just reduced to a mortal, and he came back again when he fought against Tufan, why, it was that there were too few generals that the Tang Dynasty could use, so that Li Longji kept his life and let him put on armor again when necessary.

If there were famous generals like the early Tang Dynasty, would it be?

Li Chengyi suddenly spoke: "On behalf of the national public security, these rats dare to be so presumptuous?" ”

"It's my fault." Thinking of Guo Yuanzhen's past achievements, Li Longji said with some sighs.

When Guo Yuan Zhensheng, he was good at dancing with long sleeves, dividing Tubo, governing Liangzhou, and protecting Anxi, repaying the court and the emperor's trust in him with a stable border defense, and assisting Tang Xuanzong to kill Princess Taiping, and supporting Xuanzong to ascend the throne, making great contributions to the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but it is a pity that .....

Li Chengqi, the king of Song, nodded and said: "Dai Guogong is indeed a rare talent, but he is a little self-controlled, and the third brother does not need to blame himself." ”

"Yes, the third brother" Li Longfan, the king of Xue, also spoke: "Dai Guogong is gone, the third brother is not thin on his descendants, and Dai Guogong has a spirit under the spring, and he will be grateful to Dade." ”

In the Calyx Building, surrounded by his own brothers, Li Longji didn't have so many scruples when he spoke, and said when he heard the words: "In all fairness, Yuan Zhengong is greater than his fault, Datang can have today's situation, he can't erase it, if it weren't for the change in Lishan, he would definitely go further, forget it, I hope his descendants don't resent me." ”

"Third brother, this..."Li Chengyi wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Longji immediately said: "Second brother, what's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it, in Calyx Tower, there is no difference between monarchs and ministers, only brotherhood." ”

"Okay, but before I say that, please allow a certain person to sell a little pass, and it will open your eyes later." Li Chengyi said mysteriously.

As soon as he heard that there was something new, Li Longye, the king of Qi, immediately came to his senses and asked anxiously: "Second brother, what is the good thing, seeing that you are so mysterious, it makes you anxious." ”

The brothers were born in the emperor's family, and they can be said to be well-informed, and when they heard Li Chengyi say that everyone opened their eyes, everyone was a little unconvinced.

The eldest brother Li Chengqi coughed dryly, and mentioned on the side: "Second brother, you can't fool us with those spring palace pictures or beauties, if you let the minister know, you will have to die again." ”

A few brothers have a very good relationship, they have nothing to say in the calyx building, often the five brothers cover a big quilt and sleep together, once the fourth Li Longye said that there are new things, the result is a well-painted spring palace map, see half of the brothers scattered separately, go back to find a beautiful woman to vent the fire.

Li Chengyi laughed and said with confidence: "How can it, there is no such nonsense as the fourth brother, this new thing is not only novel and interesting, but also a good thing that is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, so it should be regarded as a relief for the third brother." ”

"And this?" Li Longji also became interested: "Second brother, I am distressed in my heart, please quickly let me see what is so mysterious." ”

"Brothers, come with so-and-so."

Soon, several of the most distinguished people in the Tang Dynasty appeared in the Shenwang Mansion together, and in a somewhat remote room, Li Longji finally saw the new things Li Chengyi said: a stereotype and a few craftsmen.

"Second brother, is there a new work again?" Li Longye asked with some disappointment.

Wouldn't it, to put it so mysteriously, just look at a bland printing plate?

The rest of the people all looked at Li Chengyi with a curious expression, including Li Longji, and everyone was thinking: Isn't it just a printing plate, who doesn't have a few craftsmen who print plates, and it was said earlier that it is so mysterious that it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

It's too good to blow.

"Hehe, don't make a sound, everyone, watch quietly, soon you will see the wonders, Your Majesty, if you are not willing to say a good word for a while, the minister is willing to admit punishment." Li Chengyi said confidently.

"Then according to the words of the imperial brother." Li Longji added: "I have clear rewards and punishments, just punishment can't do it, if it's really that good, don't you like my jade toad, third brother, I'll give it to you then." ”

Li Longji's desk has a jade toad paid tribute by Songzhou, carved from the high-grade Hetian mutton fat jade, the shape is cute, lifelike, Li Chengyi has been hungry for a long time.

"Hehe, the minister thanked the emperor first." Li Chengyi said confidently.

Seeing Li Chengyi so confident, several people were patient and looked at what kind of medicine Li Chengyi was selling in this gourd.

The speed of printing is fast, and nothing surprising;

It was printed out of the song "Mochizuki Nostalgia", which the kings had already appreciated, and it was not worthy of applause;

It wasn't until the craftsman finished printing the first plate, loosened the frame, and retyped the typesetting that the faces of the crowd changed.

"Oh my God, this version can be reused?"

"After printing, it can be recycled and reused, and dead words become movable type, which is amazing."

"Hey, you see, this mold seems to be burned by cement, how much cost you have to save."

"Wouldn't it be possible to print all the books of the world with a few plates and enough fonts in this way?"

"Second brother, this, what the hell is this, tell us about it."

The new printing technology suddenly refreshed the understanding of printing among the people present, and an emperor and several princes all watched around like children, asking and touching, especially Xuanzong Li Longji, who couldn't put down those hard characters.

Li Chengyi did not dare to whet everyone's appetite, and brought out the benefits and wonderful uses of the new printing method one by one, hearing the kings nodding frequently, when Li Chengyi said that the cost of the new printing had been reduced to one-fourth of the original, Li Longji suddenly said loudly:

"Okay, it's really good, with this artifact, then the world's people who read books, people who love books will be blessed, read more sage books, can let the people open up the people's wisdom, understand etiquette, know honesty, second brother, your new printing method, it's really wonderful."

Speaking of this, Li Longji said excitedly: "This is a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future, second brother, the jade toad is yours, if you want anything, just open your mouth, I will reward it well." ”

With the new style of printing, not only did the imperial court save a lot of money in printing, but it was also beneficial to the world's scholars, which could greatly promote the progress of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengyi suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"There are no outsiders here, second brother hurry up and talk." Li Longji helped Li Chengyi with his heart.

"The emperor, the Guixiang Guo family, that is, the descendants of the Dai Guogong, did not complain about the court, but devoted himself to serving the court, this is the son of the Dai Guogong Guo Hong, the new printing method dedicated to the emperor by the ministers, and the emperor is also asked to decide." Li Chengyi said respectfully.

Li Chengyi is open-minded by nature, easy to make friends, quite chivalrous, and Guo Yuanzhen can be said to be sympathetic, smelly and set up, and formed a deep friendship, after Guo Yuanzhen's death, the righteous Li Chengyi took care of the Guo family, knowing that Li Longji did not like his brother to interfere in political affairs, or found an opportunity to personally dedicate it.

There is no greed for any credit.

Li Longji looked at the word mold in his hand, coincidentally, the word mold in his hand was a word "loyalty", he couldn't help but sigh a long time, and said: "It's really a loyal and good thing, Datang has a little more loyal ministers and good people like Guo's, why worry about the Tang Dynasty, Guo Hong is loyal and good, and after Guo Hong is loyal, he has the merit of offering new printing, coming to people, spreading my will, summoning your hometown Guo Hong into Beijing, and waiting for reuse." ”

After the eunuch received the order, Li Longji took Li Chengyi's hand and said, "The second brother has made a meritorious recommendation, and I must reward it well." ”

Li Chengyi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, this is the important part of the minister's brother, your majesty, it's rare for the brothers to be so together, it's better to eat here." ”

"According to the words of the second brother, I and all my brothers will not be drunk today." Li Longji, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and settled the matter.

The emperor drove the Shen Palace, and the Shen Mansion was full of joy, but no one knew that Zheng Peng, the real developer of the new type of printing, was riding a high-headed horse at the moment and was galloping on the official road leading to Chang'an......
