"Where can I be, Your Majesty!" Xia Hongsheng smiled and salivated and said to Li Laoer: "Isn't this with Master Li in front, what can those Shandong scholars do to Weichen?" Besides, this is not something that Weichen wants to take advantage of, this is a win-win situation. Not only can you get the benefits of money, but also can help those poor scholars, but also can make those who profit from the poor scholars feel His Majesty's care and love for them, even if they are not able to publish articles to earn manuscript fees, they can also see the care of His Majesty the Tang Emperor for the poor scholars, in this way, isn't the world to the heart? How could those poor scholars not be grateful for His Majesty's kindness? To go deeper, those disciples of the family would not do such a thing, so how many talented people among the scholars of the Han Sect can be found by this move? This is a blow to the clan's control over talents, and it is also a way for His Majesty to discover talented people who are separated from the soldiers, so that they can select talented scholars from the Han clan to be cultivated and used to fight against the clan lords. In this way, Weichen has obtained small profits, and His Majesty has obtained talents, isn't it also good? And in business, if the printing house makes a profit, it also has to pay taxes, and if Your Majesty becomes a shareholder, you can also get dividends, hehe, no matter how you think about it, it is a good and harmless thing, why not do it?

Li Shimin looked like this, and shouted at Xia Hongsheng: "I know that you don't have a good heart!" The person who dares to deceive Master Li and openly does this in front of me is you, Xia Hongsheng. Hmph, it's really bold, it's really a businessman's behavior, a guy who wants money and doesn't want his life! ”

"Your Majesty's words are unfair. What Weichen is doing is something that is beneficial to His Majesty and the court! And even the top cylinder has been found for His Majesty! Your Majesty. It can not only discover talents from the world's poor scholars. Crack down on the monopoly of Shandong scholars on talents. He also got a reputation for caring about the poor scholars, and collected the hearts of the poor scholars. What a good reason for the world's poor scholars to exchange articles for assets and live well and study hard, and with the support of Confucians like Li Shi, no one can speak, which is called reasonable, evidence-based and modest......" Xia Hongsheng understands Li Laoer's temper, and the benefits of this matter are indeed obvious. Not to mention the benefits, the mere fact that the clan has confronted the control of human resources is enough for Li Shimin to take a good look at this method. So Xia Hongsheng dared to let go of his words, but he was interrupted by Li Laoer.

"Come on!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said impatiently: "I'm too lazy to care about your business, hurry up!" I don't want to see you again, I don't want to be calculated by you like Master Li and stand up for you! ”

As soon as Xia Hongsheng heard Li Laoer's words, he was happy, and hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Besides. What kind of person is Master Li, how can Weichen calculate. It's just that he thinks that this matter is beneficial to the court and the world's poor scholars, so he pretends to be confused and is willing to be used by Weichen once. Li Shizhi is so broad-minded, Weichen should remember this kindness. ”

"That's a bit self-aware. Go ahead, but remember to be rigorous and don't pay lip service. Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Xia Hongsheng.

"Wechen thank Your Majesty, Wechen retires." Xia Hongsheng gave Li Shimin another salute, and then withdrew from the Taiji Palace.

Came out of the Taiji Hall and went straight to the palace gate. It was already nearly noon at this moment, and Xia Hongsheng was anxious to go back to see how much money he could spare now to invest in the printing hall. Li Shimin's attitude just now actually acquiesced to Xia Hongsheng's matter. Behind this incident, it is not so much that it will be opposed by the literati, but that it will actually be opposed by the world. Because anyone with a far-sighted vision can see the impact of this move. Letting scholars write articles in exchange for money to make a living is actually not a big deal. Even if someone would jump out and say insulting Sven, it would be just a few different voices. And the possible consequences of this are what matter. Seven or eight out of ten of the people in the Manchu Dynasty were born in the world or were related to the world. In order to have a good future, many literati have to rely on the family in order to obtain the way to enter the official career. And Xia Hongsheng's move can be regarded as opening a way for those poor scholars who don't want to be attached to the world to show their talents, through this way, the talents of the cold scholars can be directly discovered and noticed by the public and even the emperor without being blocked by the world. This broke the monopoly of the Shi clan on the road of talent discovery, and also provided a new force for Li Shimin to fight against the Shi clan.

Xia Hongsheng understands this truth, Li Gang also understands it, and Li Shimin knows it even more. However, objectively speaking, it is really beneficial to do so. So Li Gang was willing to let Xia Hongsheng take it as a gunman, and Li Shimin also acquiesced to what Xia Hongsheng wanted to do.

And Xia Hongsheng himself can also use this to get what he needs.

The printing hall is destined to become the place where the mainstream public opinion of Datang is generated in the future. controlled the printing hall, and in the future, public opinion guidance could be carried out through the printing hall to achieve Xia Hongsheng's goal.

So this matter is beneficial to everyone except those families.

Xia Hongsheng was planning in his heart how to run the printing house specifically, and was going to go back and sort out a charter, and then absorb some people to do it together, find some allies for himself, and find some people to bear together.

There must be a few royal people coming in for this matter, such as Li Chengqian and Li Ke. It is best to bring Changsun Chong in, listen to Cheng Chu silently, his family has a paper mill in Luoyang, and printing is inseparable from a large amount of paper, so it will be very beneficial to let Changsun Chong join in.

Xia Hongsheng lowered his head and thought about it, but he didn't pay attention to his surroundings, but suddenly heard a voice with joy: "Young Master Xia? ”

Hearing someone shouting to himself, Xia Hongsheng stopped, looked left and right, and saw a few people coming from under the palace wall next to him, and it was Li Lizhi in front of him, wearing a long aqua blue dress, which looked like a fairy descending.

Secretly sighing, Xia Hongsheng took a step back, and then bowed down: "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Li Lizhi, who was walking over, froze at her feet, looked at Xia Hongsheng in amazement, bit her lip, and then smiled a little reluctantly, and said softly: "Xiahou doesn't have to be polite......

Xia Hongsheng straightened up at this time, looked at Li Liqing, and saw that her eyes were a little gloomy and flustered, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Since Xia Gongzi came back, Li Zhen has never met Xia Gongzi, I don't know what Xia Gongzi is busy with when he comes in?" Li Lizhi still smiled and asked. It's just that the smile is a bit far-fetched, with a sense of loneliness, but it is a ninja who is biased, and he still shows a smile, but he sees Xia Hongsheng in his heart.

"Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, since the minister came back, many things have been put on hold due to the minister's trip to Shuofang, and after returning, he seized the time to re-solve the shelved things, and he was very busy." Xia Hongsheng replied to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhen's eyes became darker and darker, and she was silent for a while, before she bit her lip again and said, "Then, then Lizhi won't bother Xia Gongzi." So he went to see his mother. ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed down again: "Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Li Lizhen's face stiffened again, and then her voice trembled slightly, and she said, "Xia Hongsheng, please please, Lizhi will leave." ”

With that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

"Alas......" Xia Hongsheng looked back at Li Lizhen's figure in a hurry, and shook his head: "I'm sorry......"

Xia Hongsheng sighed, then turned around and walked out of the palace, and the excitement that had just been acquiesced by Li Shimin was gone, and he only felt a trace of melancholy and gloom in his heart.

Who knew that as soon as he walked out of the Suzaku Gate, he was immediately intercepted by several people, and when he looked up, it was a guard leader who was often followed by Li Chengqian, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Humility to meet Xiahou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered Humility to come and tell Xiahou, saying that you are invited to wait for a while in the palace of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and His Royal Highness will meet Xiahou." ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said it for what?" ”

"This ......" the guard hesitated and said, "Back to Xiahou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted ...... Go play ......."

Xia Hongsheng suddenly rolled his eyes, the grounding of this goods just ended today, but he thought about playing again, can he still be a qualified successor of the Tang Emperor!

"I know, you can go back." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.

Seeing the guard leave, Xia Hongsheng was a little bored in his heart, and he wanted to drink a few cups, so he also asked Qi Yong to drive him to Li Ke's house.

Li Ke seemed to know that Xia Hongsheng was coming, and was already waiting for him there. The two didn't say a few words, and they saw that Li Yexu was also here, and after a while, these gentlemen arrived.

"I said Brother De, what are you going to do?" Xia Hongsheng was a little curious, so he asked.

Li Ke looked at Xia Hongsheng and was a little surprised: "What, you went to the palace to study, didn't the eldest brother explain it to you?" It is said that Baihualou didn't know where to get a few Turkic women, and we are all novelty tight. This Turkic has always been fierce and brutal, and extremely rude, and I have never seen how a Turkic woman scratches her head and gestures, haha! ”

Turkic woman?

Xia Hongsheng frowned slightly, and asked again, "Who proposed to go and see it?" Cheng Qian? ”

Li Ke nodded: "Yes, eldest brother doesn't know where to get the news." ”

Xia Hongsheng didn't speak again, but some of his hearts became more gloomy. (To be continued......)
