In ancient times, it can be said that writing a book was a lifelong dream of a literati, and no matter what kind of thing was written, it was not easy to be able to record one's thoughts, thoughts and feelings on paper and circulate them to the world.

Luoyang paper is not a simple idiom, but also represents the ancient people's thirst for knowledge, books such a precious thing itself is controlled in the hands of the family, the book is said that it is read by the sages, condensed the wisdom of the predecessors, to be able to squeeze out new things, so this point is precious.

Before the Tang Dynasty set up a primary school, subject to the constraints of conditions, the literacy rate of the ancient people was not high, and the scholars were already very noble, and writing books was an even more difficult thing.

First of all, without a source of livelihood, hunger and poverty are the primary problem, and people cannot live by writing and not eating. Moreover, in ancient times, those who could write books and speak were very rare among scholars.

In addition, a person's energy is always limited, and if you want to really, complete a book without the help of outsiders, it will almost cost a person's life.

But once the book is written, of course, it will also be of great help to fame.

Li Tai was able to write a successful book, Lao Li was naturally happy in his heart, no matter how Li Tai was his son, he didn't want future generations to say that when they evaluated his old Li family, they would only say that their family was just a royal family, and they couldn't even get something decent.

"I'm so happy, I'm so happy! Qingque, you sent someone to send the books you compiled to the imperial study, and I will read through the books written by Wu'er himself all night. Comrade Li Er was so happy that his eyes were gone.

When the ministers saw this, the first thing they naturally did was to congratulate Comrade Li, who could have such an outstanding child, and listening to the praise of the ministers, Li Tai actually blushed.

"Qingque, you don't have to be absolutely embarrassed, you naturally deserve these compliments." Li Er also saw Li Tai's embarrassment and said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Tai gave up.

"Alright, it's time for Ke'er." After Comrade Li Er finished speaking, he set his eyes on Li Ke.

"Father, Erchen is not as good as his eldest brother, he can have so much experience, and he does not have the talent of Qingque, but Erchen has also worked hard for this gift, I hope you can like it." After Li Ke finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his arms.

After Li Er saw it, he motioned for Liu Bing to fetch it for him to see.

Since Li Ke didn't say what was written in this booklet, it means that Li Ke didn't want to let what was written in this booklet see the light, and Li Er naturally could understand.

Looking at Lao Li's shocked appearance when reading the booklet, Zhang Nan also roughly guessed what Li Ke had delivered.

Combined with Li Ke's current official position, it is not difficult to guess that what Li Ke gave to Comrade Li Er is likely to be a large list of corruption, and it can be seen from the shocked expression on Lao Li's face that Li Ke has definitely dug up a big fish.

"Well, yes, yes, I'm very satisfied." After Li Er finished speaking, he put the booklet in his hand and slapped it a few times from time to time.

After Li Ke, Li Yu and the others gave Comrade Li Er gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and other things, although Comrade Li Er was also very happy, but with the first three of them, it would be much inferior.

"Very good, Cheng Qian, Qingque and Ke'er, I am very satisfied with what the three of you have sent. Yes, I want to reward you heavily, a thousand taels per person, and a thousand households in the city, and this money will come from the inner treasury, and it will be regarded as a reward from your father himself. Comrade Li Er waved his hand.

"The son thanks his father for the reward." The three of them bowed.

When Comrade Li Er's children finished offering gifts, Comrade Li Er turned his gaze to Zhang Nan and said with a smile: "Okay, Qingquan, it's always your turn now, the gifts given by Chengqian, Qingque and Ke'er today are very satisfying, if you can't give something decent today, I won't let you go easily." ”

Zhang Nan also smiled slightly after hearing this: "The minister has a truth and a lie, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”

"Falsehood." Lao Li is also straightforward.

"Your Majesty, why don't you play your cards according to the routine?" Zhang Nan looked at Lao Li with some surprise and said.

"Hmph, how can I be easily guessed by you?" Comrade Li Er gave Zhang Nan a blank look.

"Well, if it's a lie, you absolutely like the gift that the minister prepared today, Your Majesty." Zhang Nan said.

"And what about the truth?"

"The truth is, the minister didn't prepare a gift today.

“……”

"Lang Jun, what nonsense are you talking about, I feel like take out the gift, otherwise my father will be angry later." Li Lizhi also saw that Lao Li's face began to turn from red to black, and hurriedly reminded.

"I'm not talking nonsense, we entered the palace together today, and your eye saw me taking a gift?" Zhang Nan spread his hands and said.

"Hehe, okay, come on, drag An Guogong down to me, I don't want to see him again today." Comrade Li Er was also too lazy to be idle with Zhang Nan, out of sight and out of mind.

"Don't, Your Majesty, the minister's words haven't been finished yet." As soon as Zhang Nan saw that the guards had come over, he knew that Lao Li was going to come to the real one, so he hurriedly said.

"Oh? What else do you have to say? I'm listening. Li Er laughed angrily at Zhang Nan.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to reward your ministers?"

As soon as Zhang Nan's words came out, the whole hall was shocked, even Lao Li, who had always known Zhang Nan's thick skin, was also angry and raised his finger to point at Zhang Nan, Lao Li knew that Zhang Nan was thick-skinned, but he didn't expect Zhang Nan to be so thick-skinned.

He, the old man, celebrates his birthday, not only does he not give anything, but he also asks for a reward with a shy face, which is simply appalling.

"Drag it out, drag it out, don't let me see you for nearly a month." Li Er waved his hand, as if he was chasing flies, and now Comrade Li Er even felt that if Zhang Nan stayed in this hall for one more second, he would have the possibility of being angry to death.

"Don't, Your Majesty, this reward is not for yourself." Zhang Nan said.

"Then you're going to give Liz?"

"It's not for Liz?"

"Is that for Chengxia?"

"It's not for Chengxia?"

"And who the hell are you going to give it to!?" Comrade Li Er was furious by Zhang Nan's words.

"To the emperor your unborn grandson, ah no, I don't know if it's a man or a woman yet, do you want to give you a grandson or a granddaughter?" Zhang Nan looked at Li Er with a smile and said.

Li Er was confused by Zhang Nan's anger for a while, and he didn't react to what Zhang Nan said. However, Empress Changsun reacted quickly, and asked with a look of surprise: "Do you have a beauty?" ”
