Chapter 322: Two Interesting Facts
"Actually, I still have a lot of suggestions about the Qi Workshop, Lao Li, don't think I'm overstepping my authority, I just think that if you don't change the existing model, it will be difficult for the people in the Qi Workshop, including you and me, to have a chance to get ahead."
Li Zhuo put down the wine and waved his hand carelessly: "Don't be polite to me, my old Li is not an unreasonable person, I know how many catties and taels I have." As for me, I am a mediocre talent at most, and I can't have too many achievements in this life, but you are different, you kid is a capable person, and you will definitely have a future if you follow! Although you are still below me in terms of official position now, but one day you will surpass me, it is just a matter of time, I might as well be at ease with my mentality as soon as possible! Ha ha! Let's take one! ”
Chen Fei hurriedly touched a glass with Li Zhuo, drank a little wine, quietly observed Li Zhuo, and found that his expression was very sincere and unpretentious, and he immediately put his mind at ease.
It seems that Li Zhuo is a relatively enlightened person, and he clearly knows his ability and the height he can reach, so he simply expressed his attitude - I will follow you! Whatever you say, I'll listen to you anyway!
It is a very comfortable thing to deal with people who can think of it, and comparing Li Zhuo with Yang Qingzheng is simply a heaven and a place.
Li Zhuo was able to calmly face Chen Fei and climb on top of his head, because he admitted that Chen Fei had this ability. And what about Yang Qingzheng? He didn't surpass Chen Fei's ability, and the two didn't have any conflict of interest, so they still thought of a way to frame him, but they were really small enough to be at Grandma's house.
Chen Fei gave Yang Qingzheng a disdainful expression in his heart, and then poured Lao Li's wine with a smiling face.
As the saying goes, if you respect your leader, you have to put it on the wine table! That's exactly what Chen Fei is doing now. Although his amount of wine is not very good, there are quite a lot of oily roads on the wine table, and a "mouth cannon" bombarded down, coaxing Li Zhuo into a daze, and drank several glasses of wine in a row, and the whole person was drunk and fluttering.
In the end, it was Chen Fei who called his own subordinates and sent Lao Li back to the Qi Workshop.
He shrugged helplessly at Li Zhuo's distant ox cart, and let out an exclamation for countless working dogs in later generations.
"Hey! I'm going to work tomorrow, and the days of hard work are about to begin~"
.......
In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin had just finished dealing with the day's political affairs, put down the case file in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and asked the palace maid to beat his back for him, squinting and enjoying it.
The eye-catching eunuch hurriedly ate fruit on the ground and respectfully placed it in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin picked up a small bunch of grapes, put a few in his mouth, and suddenly asked the eunuchs beside him. "Wanfu, what interesting news has come out of Chang'an City recently? Let's talk to me. ”
The eunuch named Wanfu rolled his eyes to show a look of embarrassment, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, he thought of some things, leaned into Li Shimin's ear, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are no other things in Chang'an City, but there are two things that come out today, maybe Your Majesty will be a little interesting, these things are related to Chen Xianbo." ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin suddenly became a little interested, turned his head slightly, and asked, "Uncle Chen?" Is it Chen Fei's stinky boy? ”
The eunuch hurriedly nodded and responded: "Yes, it's Chen Fei, Uncle Chen County." It's also interesting, a few days ago, the slave maid happened to hear a few people out of the palace to procure, saying that Chen Xianbo opened a book club that sells paper, and recently added a new business, not only selling paper, but also printing books, no matter what book, as long as the number does not exceed a thousand, it can be printed within seven days, and I don't know if it is really so magical. ”
"Printing?" Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and said to himself: "I really remembered that when I said this, that kid said before that he invented something... What printing technology can speed up the printing of books, and any book can be printed, hiss... Could it be that this kid really did it? Hail Blessed? Have you ever verified whether the book printing you said is true or false? ”
"Uh..." Wanfu looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been serving Your Majesty by his side, and he has no time to verify, why don't the old slaves let some little eunuchs go out tomorrow to see if the book club is as magical as the rumors say?" ”
Li Shimin nodded and responded: "Well, you have done this for me, if it is really so magical... This method must be used by my royal family! ”
What does it mean to master the method of fast printing? It represents the ability to quickly win the hearts of the world's scholars, and for Li Shimin, who is full of confusion from the family, this way is urgently needed to fight the existing family forces!
The eunuch sent a sycophant in time: "Yes, Your Majesty is wise!" ”
Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned to the eunuch to continue: "Isn't there another interesting thing?" Let's talk to me. Hmph, this kid is really restless, he has to do something every once in a while, otherwise it's not his style. Go on. ”
"Yes!" The eunuch replied respectfully. "The old slave also heard something about Uncle Chen, but this matter is too fantastical, and the old slave thinks... I think it's unlikely. ”
"Huh? Didn't he jump to the moon? Yes? Hahahahaha. Li Shimin laughed.
The eunuch also laughed with Li Shimin for a while, and then said: "It's not that Uncle Chen jumped to the moon, but... It is said that his family's field has a grain output of more than 4,000 catties per acre! ”
"What!" Li Shimin was so shocked that he stood up directly from the chair, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him knelt on the ground one after another.
Li Shimin grabbed the eunuch from the ground and sprayed saliva on his face. "What did you just say? One acre of land produces 4,000 catties of grain? Are you telling the truth? Aren't you talking about me? ”
The eunuch was so frightened that his face turned bitter, and his body trembled unnaturally. "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins, the old slave also heard others talk about it, and the old slave doesn't know whether it's true or not, Your Majesty forgives your sins..."
Li Shimin let go of the eunuch and snorted. "Okay, okay, I'm not trying to kill you, what are you afraid of? I just want to know if the 4,000 catties per mu you said is true or false. Four thousand pounds! How many people can be fed? If every acre of land in the world can have such a yield, why should I have gray hair every day for the suffering of the people's livelihood? ”
The eunuch swallowed a mouthful of water with difficulty, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave will go to the village where Chen Xianbo is located tomorrow to check whether the statement of 4,000 catties per mu is true." ”
"No!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand to interrupt the eunuch's speech.
"Your Majesty?"
"I... Go for yourself! ”
It's late again today, sorry sorry!
