Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

And the most difficult thing is the fertilizer, this difficulty can be called terrifying! !

Chapter 76 Changes in the Bookstore

After Li Tai dismissed Li Chunfeng.

Wei Zheng, who had been waiting outside the door for a while, came in.

He spread his hands and pinched the two sides of the newspaper, and said to Li Tai happily.

"Master, I've already prepared the newspaper. Let's take a look?"

While speaking, he moved the newspaper in front of Li Tai.

"It's finally done!" Li Tai turned his head to the side with a face full of satisfaction.

The size of this piece of paper is 39cmx54cm, and the thickness is as thick as a normal book page. The paper is also white, and you can smell a faint scent of sesame seeds when you get close.

Seeing Li Tai lightly sniffing his nose, Wei Zheng explained.

"Printing such a large paper, it is easy to paste together with ordinary ink.

So I switched to ink, and the smell you smell is the smell of oil. "

"Ink? No wonder it doesn't smell like rosin anymore."

Li Tai nodded in relief.

Some things don't need to be developed by ourselves, and will appear naturally with the advancement of technology.

"Using ink, is the price expensive?"

"It's not that expensive, it only costs five cents."

"So cheap~?"

Li Tai couldn't believe it, the price was a bit too low.

There are records in the Three Kingdoms that sesame oil was used as a strategic material for fire attacks. Sesame oil, also known as 'flax oil', is a necessary weapon for setting fire in film and television dramas.

"As a newspaper, the Taoist temple is staffed by maids and eunuchs from the palace, and the movable type is printed by the Ministry of Industry, all of which do not cost money.

The only thing that costs money is a few sheets of paper and ink, which is not that expensive. "

"I see..." Li Tai nodded and began to read the content.

On the front side are major national events, such as how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, how many countries came to pay tribute, and how wise Li Shimin is....

The more I look at it, the more I feel that this is Li Shimin's pure wish to pretend.

On the back are some rumors about Chang'an, and Li Tai saw himself the first to bear the brunt.

On it is written the glorious deeds of saving two hundred Silla maidservants and Bodhisattvas...

This... are you still my teacher? ?Write me like that? ?

Li Tai looked at his eyes and twitched... Wuyu looked up at Wei Zheng and asked

"Teacher, isn't this... wrong!?"

I can't help complaining in my heart, my image~

Li Tai tried to save it: "Either the matter of the students was withdrawn, and it would be ridiculous to write it out."

"Indeed, it will misunderstand those who don't know the truth, and it should be removed, but what should be written about the people's livelihood?

After all, you are the only one who has caused such anecdotes that have spread throughout Chang'an recently. "

"... If it really doesn't work, then find a commoner to go to his house and ask him if he has used the god's plow, whether it feels good to use, whether it takes effort or not.

It is really impossible to make up a story. "

"Then let's make up a story. Recently, there are many businessmen from other countries, so it's better not to attract their attention to things like sky trains."

"Alright."

"Then I'll leave the story to you, how about it?"

"..." Li Tai directly refused, "There are many things about students..."

"Then find an ancient book and write it down for the teacher." Wei Zheng could only nod his head.

"Student, thank you teacher." Li Tai said with a sigh of relief.

Wei Zheng, who really deserves to be the top iron, wrote me all up...

"I'm going to change it here as a teacher." Wei Zheng took the newspaper and retreated.

The next day, Wei Zheng found Li Tai with the revised newspaper.

Wei Zheng asked with dark circles, "How is this time?"

"The students think there is nothing wrong with it." Li Tai nodded and said.

"Let's go, follow the teacher to meet His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the two rode their horses and headed towards the palace all the way.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Li Tai and Wei Zheng met Li Shimin.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

"Excuse me." Li Shimin said to Li Tai eagerly, "Give me the newspaper to read."

"Yes." The eunuch presented a newspaper to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin picked it up carefully, and carefully began to read the contents of the newspaper.

He squinted his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at the newspaper carefully, which was a bit weird.

If you are cutting a cropped head, changing clothes is a bit modern.

Li Shimin said after carefully reading it two or three times.

"Yes, I think the newspaper can be published, and the matter is well done.

However, we still have to look at the reactions of the common people and the gentry.

Release is just the beginning, understand? "

"I understand!"

"My son understands."

Li Tai and Wei Zheng quickly returned to the road.

"Okay, let's go release it!" Li Shimin sent it casually.

"Your servant will leave." Li Tai withdrew from the imperial study.

One thousand newspapers, after a morning of printing, have been completed.

Li Tai, Wei Zheng and Duan Lun felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Next, who will sell newspapers?" Wei Zheng asked a question.

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, it was impossible to sell it in person, it was too cheap.

Scanning around again, there are eunuchs and court ladies... It doesn't feel right either.

"Why don't you send it to the Wu family and let them find a clever guy to sell it." Li Tai suggested.

"Just do it!"

Soon, Li Tai, Wei Zheng, and Duan Lun came to Wu's bookstore with a thousand newspapers.

Li Tai glanced at it, and saw that the place has changed, and he couldn't help feeling: "The changes here are really great."

The servant who saw him hurried over and said.

"My lord, would you like me to introduce you?"

"No, I have something to ask your shopkeeper." Li Tai couldn't help but said with a smile.

Introduce to me, this pen is still made by me...

Randomly flipped through the books, all of them were printed with movable type.

In addition to this, there are inks, quills, fountain pens, and even sharpened bamboo pens.

Many people who come and go are curious about it and will come up to try the pen.

With the improvement of phonetic dictionaries and printing techniques, books began to become more numerous.

People come into contact with more books, and the way of writing begins to change.

The most obvious is the emergence of numerous writing instruments.

Chapter 77 Selling Newspapers

The clerk glanced at the group of people, and saw that Li Tai and the others did not seem to be looking for trouble, so he said.

"My lord, I'm going to find the shopkeeper right now."

After a while, the buddy came out with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper just approached, and after realizing that it was Li Tai, he hurriedly walked in front of Li Tai, and saluted with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, please pay my respects."

Before he finished speaking, Li Tai interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"This is not a place to talk, go to the back hall and talk."

"That's right... I'm a little abrupt, Your Highness and all the adults please come this way."

The shopkeeper warmly invited Li Tai and his party to walk towards the back hall.

After leading everyone to the back hall, he brushed the tables and chairs with his sleeve and said to a group of people.

"This place is simple, and I have wronged Your Highness and your lords. Please take your seat."

"Well, it doesn't matter..."

"My lord, please have some tea." With that said, the shopkeeper poured a cup of tea for everyone.

"Yeah." Li Tai looked at it expressionlessly and took a sip: "Drink together, drink together~"

After putting down the teacup, Li Tai said slowly, "This time I brought you here because I want you to help me with something."

The shopkeeper froze for a moment, came to ask me to do something?Do you want to notify Wu Meiniang?

But thinking of the identities of the two, the shopkeeper felt that they should not be used, so he rolled his eyes and said hastily.

"Don't say one thing, even if you go through fire and water, the younger one will not hesitate. Do you want to inform the Patriarch?"

Li Tai thought about it, and felt that there was no need for Wu Meiniang to make a special trip to this matter.

"Don't bother her, it's not a big deal, just let me know when the time comes."

"Yes."

Li Tai pointed to the newspaper on the table and said to the shopkeeper.

"This newspaper records the important affairs of the imperial court and is used to inform the people and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

You find two smarter guys, go out to sell them, and sell them for five cents a piece. "

When the shopkeeper heard it, he took it carefully, and looked at the contents of the newspaper. Sure enough, there was an official seal on it.

Seeing this, the expression on his face changed.

Recorded the important affairs of the court?Promoting the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty?

It was also handed over to the Wu family to sell. What is the court going to do?

Although he couldn't figure it out, he immediately took action and shouted outside the door: "Xiao Er, Xiao Er?"

"Come here, what's your order?" A man trotted in and bowed to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper carefully picked up the newspaper, glanced at Xiaoer and said.

"Wipe your hands clean, take the newspaper to the street and sell it for five cents, go!"
