In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 166 Give way, everyone, I'm going to start performing
Li Ke smiled and said, "Uncle, I didn't say that there is a problem with the Ministry of Rites. It is your responsibility. I just think that you are old and let you go back to take care of yourself. What? Do you have an opinion?"

Changsun Wuji was speechless.

Said: "Okay, I want to see, how do you let me go back to retire?"

Li Ke smiled and said: "Okay, everyone make room, I'm going to start the performance. Everyone go back to their positions and make room for me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the hell this Li Ke was trying to do.They all retreated to their positions.

Li Shimin also looked at Li Ke suspiciously.

After Li Ke waited for everyone to return to their positions, he rushed outside and shouted loudly: "Liu Hong, it's time for you to play."

Outside, Liu Hong led several people and walked in carrying things.

"The minister waited to see His Majesty."

After everyone came up, they bowed their hands to Li Shimin and saluted.

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Ke'er, what are you doing?"

Li Ke said: "Father, I brought you what you asked for. You can find out when you look down. Liu Hong, please start your performance."

Liu Hong quickly said, "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hong opened a stack of things wrapped in cloth.

As soon as the cloth was opened, white paper was revealed, which was neatly folded.

The people present, one counts as one, all stared wide-eyed.

What is this?Is this paper?Why is it so white and so bright?
Omg what did I see?This seems to be really paper!
Li Ke walked over to pick up a piece of paper, came to Wei Zheng, and said, "Master Wei Zhengwei, you are also a scholar, you should be familiar with paper, right? Come and appraise the quality of these papers?"

My goodness!

Wei Zheng took the paper with trembling hands.Carefully stroke it with your hands, as if you are touching your beloved concubine.

The paper is fine and smooth, white and bright.

Wei Zheng said that he has never seen such a good paper in his life.

"Good paper, good paper!"

Kong Yingda, the Guozijian offering wine in the queue, couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and took the initiative to pick up a piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and stroked it carefully.

"Okay, okay, this is really paper. I'm not mistaken, it's really paper! Your Highness, King Shu, where did you get such good paper?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot, Mr. Kong, you are the expert."

Li Ke said very apologetically: "Mr. Kong, I newly produced this thing. There are plenty of it in my house. If Mr. Kong likes it, please follow me to the house after the court. I will give you some. What do you want?" Take as much as you want, and I will give you as much as you can."

"Really? That's great, then I'll thank His Royal Highness King Shu here first."

Kong Yingda was really excited. To get so much paper, he was even happier than getting Wanguan wealth.

Li Shimin was also very excited. He walked down from the high position himself, picked up a stack of papers, and started playing with them excitedly.

"Ke'er, can this thing be mass-produced?"

Yes, Li Ke had told Li Shimin about this a long time ago, and Li Shimin was also looking forward to it.

After waiting for so long, I can finally see it today. Do you think he is excited?
Li Ke replied: "Father, it's perfectly fine. You can produce as much of this thing as you want. And the cost is very low. I can guarantee that from now on, my Tang Dynasty will never be short of paper again."

"Okay, good, great. Haha, my Tang Dynasty is no longer short of paper, haha... Ke'er, well done, you have done another great thing for my Tang Dynasty, and made great contributions..."

Changsun Wuji also noticed something was wrong, seeing Li Shimin as if he was about to reward Li Ke.

He quickly stood up and said: "His Royal Highness, congratulations, you have indeed done a great thing for my Tang Dynasty. But, what does this have to do with letting me go home to retire? You don't want to use this to force Your Majesty, If you don't dismiss my official position, you won't give birth, right?"

Changsun Wuji is so smart, he blocked Li Ke's way as soon as he opened his mouth.

If Li Ke insisted on doing this, Li Shimin would be very embarrassed and very unhappy.

If Li Ke insisted on doing this, then he would offend Li Shimin.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry! Why are you in such a hurry to go home for the elderly? Liu Hong, please start your performance."

"Here."

Liu Hong agreed, and began to direct those people to get busy.

Yes, these are book printing workers. They have been doing this job for a month or two, and they are already quite proficient.

Li Ke said: "Liu Hong, first print ten volumes of Analects."

In the next moment, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded.

I saw those workers holding the printing plate and brushing ink on it once. When a piece of paper was pressed, the paper was filled with words.

Press it again, another one, and repeat this 10 times.

They stopped, and then looked for words in that frame again.Replace the words on the second page of the Analects of Confucius, and then start printing the second page.

After printing 10 pages, I started to look for the words on page 2 on page 3, and then replaced them, and started printing page 3.

All the civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded.

What are they doing?If I'm not mistaken, they should be printing books.

My goodness, they're actually printing books, and they're printing them so fast.

Li Ke picked up a piece of printed paper, brought it over, and handed it to Changsun Wuji.

"Uncle, you can be regarded as a scholar, you come to appraise it, how is this printed?"

Changsun Wuji took it and took a look.I saw that the writing on it was neat and tidy, very clear, even better than their handwritten ones.

Hand-copying is okay at the beginning, but after copying, the characters start to deform or become irregular.

No way, human energy is limited after all.

But every word printed by this thing is so neat and neat.It can even be said that every book is the same.

There will be absolutely no lack of words or words.

The most important thing is that Changsun Wuji also discovered that there are punctuation marks at the end of the sentence on this piece of paper.

He is a scholar. Although he doesn't know what it is, he can guess that it is almost inseparable. This is the meaning of the sentence.

Changsun Wuji was completely dumbfounded.Standing there holding a piece of paper, I really don't know what to say.

At this moment, an ominous premonition filled his heart.

A group of ministers gathered around, picked up the paper that had just been printed, and they were also full of praise there.

As these workers had already prepared, the ten Analects of Confucius were printed soon.

It's just that the ink on it hasn't dried yet, so it can't be bound yet.

Changsun Wuji turned his head to look at Li Ke, and whispered in his ear: "Ke'er, are you going to use this to force uncle to resign?"

Yes, Changsun Wuji's address has changed.

He was really a little scared.
