Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 165 Li Shimin's Shock
Now that preparations have been made, it is time to increase production and speed up production.

As for the technology of movable type printing, Liu Sheng did not dedicate it to Li Shimin immediately, but stayed in Liu's house temporarily.

One reason is that Liu Sheng handed over the technology to Li Shimin. It is hard to guarantee that there are people with five surnames and seven Wangs in the Ministry of Industry. If they get the news, this trick may not have a better effect.

Besides, it is very difficult for the Ministry of Industry to not have people with five surnames and seven wangs. During the implementation period, if they deliberately slowed down the speed, wouldn't it be delaying time for the five surnames and seven wangs?

This is also one of the reasons why he cooperates with the royal family instead of the imperial court. At least there are definitely fewer people in the imperial family than the five surnames and seven Wangs in the imperial court, and the erosion of them by the noble families is also less.

What's more, the head of the royal family is Li Shimin, which also gives Liu Sheng other guarantees.

This also shows Liu Sheng's attitude, he is not at ease with the court.

Secondly, it's Liu Sheng's selfishness.

Taking advantage of this time, Liu Sheng can also earn some money to subsidize his family.

Even if you have mountains of gold and silver at home, can you still refuse money?
What's more, this time Li Shimin and the court wanted to make a fight between himself and Wu Xing Qiwang. Liu Sheng is not a temperless person.

Even if the money was their compensation to the Liu family, Liu Sheng was also very generous, and he didn't stalk them, anyway, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.

The people in Liu Sheng's mansion were all "old men" who were already here, and he was very relieved, at least much more at ease than the hole-like three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court.

During this period of time, he quickly summoned many craftsmen to use movable type printing technology to create ten or twenty sets of movable type printing iron plates, as well as an entire room of movable type.

In order not to attract attention, Liu Sheng specially opened several papermaking workshops and brush and ink workshops, all of which were prepared secretly.

If you don't investigate carefully, it is difficult to detect it.

Now that the fight between Wuxing Qiwang and Liu Sheng is in full swing, there are back and forth, how can the other party have the time and energy to investigate the paper-making workshop and brush and ink workshop that Liu Sheng secretly set up.

Today is the day when Liu Sheng intends to hand over these printed books.

Liu Sheng specially came to the outer suburbs. The craftsmen here are sweating profusely to print books. With enough monthly money to stimulate them, it is hard for the craftsmen not to try their best.

"What about the printed books?" Liu Sheng asked with a satisfied smile like a capitalist as he watched the craftsmen working in full swing.

The person in charge bowed to lead the way for Liu Sheng:
"My son-in-law, this way!"

Under the leadership of the steward, Liu Sheng came to a spacious warehouse, but the warehouse was smaller than the side hall where Li Shimin handled government affairs.

squeak~
With the opening of the heavy door, the dry but cool warehouse opened, revealing the piles of books neatly stacked nearly ten feet high.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but stepped forward, randomly pulled out a book from the side, and then flipped through it.

Feeling the touch of printed books and looking at the neat handwriting on them makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

For Liu Sheng, his feeling is even more profound. After all, such books are very common in later generations, which makes him feel familiar and unfamiliar.

"How many volumes have you printed in total?" Liu Sheng put away the emotion in his heart and asked the person in charge, who respectfully said:

"My son-in-law, over the past month, the craftsmen have worked hard and finally fulfilled the requirements of my son-in-law. A total of [-] volumes including the collection of classics and history have been printed, and there will be nearly a thousand more volumes when it is delivered tomorrow!"

A rare hint of pride appeared in his tone, after all, under his management, the task was accomplished supernormally.

Liu Sheng nodded in satisfaction, and praised the other party a few words, "Good job, keep up the good work."

The manager didn't dare to say anything, but he felt that it was very novel to see such a magical thing appear.

Regardless of the quantity or quality of these books, Liu Sheng is quite satisfied. Even though they have not reached the level of later generations, they are already high-quality goods for people of this era.

"Okay, my son-in-law will bring people here tomorrow, so hurry up and prepare these things!"

Before leaving, Liu Sheng carefully instructed the person in charge.

These books will soon be filled in the first library of the Tang Dynasty, many of which were secretly collected by Liu Sheng's people, covering all aspects, and he even printed a lot of ancient Chinese medicine books.

There are so many types, a large number, and high quality, Liu Sheng really can't find any reason for the scholars to refuse to use these books.

Now that the books are ready, the next step is to solve the address of the library.

Regarding this point, Li Shimin had already prepared for it.

For Liu Sheng who was doing business, Li Shimin was very relieved, so when Liu Sheng came to the door, he had already granted Liu Sheng a huge warehouse that had already been repaired.

"Here, what you want is already here." Li Shimin handed a document to Xing'an, who quickly passed it to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng opened the document and looked at the position displayed on it, which was in the center of Chang'an City.

The location is very suitable and spacious, and the government is not far away, so it is obviously safe and secure.

It was even built next to the river. If the library flooded, it would be extinguished soon.

I have to say that such a place is indeed very suitable as the location of the library.

Liu Sheng is very satisfied, since he is satisfied, then it is time for Li Shimin to be satisfied.

He took out a booklet from his pocket, which was neither thin nor thick, with a heavy ink fragrance, and handed it to Xing'an beside him.

The old eunuch Xing'an passed his hands to Li Shimin who was waiting above.

Li Shimin opened the booklet, and then flipped through it a few times casually, the look of surprise in his eyes rose, and he asked quickly:
"These brochures are no worse than the Royal Collection. How many do you have?"

Liu Sheng smiled, stretched out a finger, and then stretched out three fingers.

Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in shock:
"Thirteen hundred volumes? That's a lot!"

He thought that there were at most a few hundred volumes of this quality, even for the royal family, there were only a few thousand volumes, and some volumes were not as good as this.

But it seems that it is enough.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng shook his head and said a shocking number:

"Your Majesty misunderstood, I have [-] volumes in my hands!"

"What!" Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, "Is what you said true?"

Liu Sheng said calmly: "How dare a humble minister lie to His Majesty!"

Under Li Shimin's horror, there was great joy and sufficient self-confidence.

Then came Li Shimin's various temptations to Liu Sheng, but Liu Sheng's precautions were tight, that is, he did not reveal the technology of movable type printing.

Gradually, Li Shimin became a little angry.
