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

Chapter 167 This brat, even his father cheated
Changsun Wuji was frightened.

If Li Ke uses this to force Li Shimin, Li Shimin may really agree to Li Ke.

If the amount of paper just now was not enough, then now, with this special printing technique, it is enough.

If Li Ke insisted on making such a request, Li Shimin would definitely agree.

With paper, there is such a clever printing technique.Since then, Datang has no shortage of scholars.

With scholars, Li Shimin is no longer afraid that someone will dismiss him from office.

It's a bit scary to be a boss who can't find a part-time job.

But if there are more people working part-time, the boss doesn't have to be afraid.

If you don't do it, someone else will.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry! I won't do this kind of thing that offends my father."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh of relief.

However, his heart quickly raised again. If he didn't do this, what would he do?

At this time, Li Ke said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. This is called movable type printing. You have also seen that the printing speed is very fast, right? If there are enough materials and tools, books like the Analects of Confucius can be printed in one day. A 1 copy is not a problem at all.

Of course, there is no problem in printing other books. Here, I undertake the business. If anyone has a masterpiece and wants to publish it, you can come to me to discuss it. The printing fee is very cheap. "

When Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and other scholars heard this, their eyes lit up.

They are all scholars and have written many books.But it is almost impossible for this stuff to be published.

No way, engraving is too difficult.A block, if you engrave a word wrong, or make a slight mistake, then this engraving block will be invalid.

This kind of work is not a sculpture that has been done for more than 10 years, and a master craftsman can't do it at all.

How much does it cost to ask such a person to carve a copy of a book for you?

The main thing is that you throw it away when you're done using it, and it's useless.

The cost is too high, it might as well be copied!

Kong Yingda quickly stood up and asked, "How much does it cost to print a book?"

Li Ke said: "Mr. Kong, you are not professional. How can you print a copy? At least 1 copies! For books with less than 1 words, 50 copies are printed, and the minimum charge is [-] yuan per book. Sample?
Of course, this is the minimum charge, such as those with few words.We still need to talk about the specific situation. "

50 coins a book?
Above the court, all the scholars' eyes lit up.

Which of them has not written a masterpiece?Who doesn't want to print it out and distribute it?

Writing a book can't be done on a stand-alone machine. It must be printed out for others to see, so as to have motivation and a sense of accomplishment.

For a while, the civil servants were in chaos.

Yes, it was noisy, like coming to a vegetable market.

Li Shimin stepped up to the high position and pressed his hand.Only then did everyone quiet down.

Li Shimin said: "Ke'er, this time, you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Tell me, what reward do you want. This time, as long as the father can do it, I will promise you."

Li Ke said with a smile: "The reward I want is very simple, I'm afraid you won't agree, father."

Li Shimin's face darkened immediately.

Said: "You are not allowed to make such a request. Ke'er, you and your uncle just have different political opinions. If it doesn't make sense, let's talk about it. Why do you want to punish people to death? This is not acceptable."

Li Shimin was right.Normally, these people would quarrel in the court hall and their faces would be red.It seems that there is a big hatred.But after the court, they drank together again.

Different political views can be noisy, but it does not affect their friendship.

If the political views are different, and the other party is punished to death, the people in the court will have died for a long time.

This is the Zhenguan Dynasty.Except for Changsun Wuji, basically no one has ever heard of anyone who killed anyone.

The reason why Changsun Wuji was scolded as an old man and a treacherous minister.The biggest reason is also because he later killed Li Ke.

Everyone aired their opinions on the court, and their faces were flushed, largely for the emperor to see.

This is a bit like those PK anchors in later generations, no matter how noisy they are, they just want to make money, and they are still good friends after it is over.

When Changsun Wuji heard Li Shimin's words, his heart was at ease.

Li Ke knew that it would be difficult to move Changsun Wuji, but he still wanted to try.No way, who made them natural enemies?
Li Ke said: "Father, I'm sorry, I, Li Ke, have always wanted to do what I said. Since you disagree, let's ask the opinions of the officials, and the officials will decide, how about it?" ?”

Li Shimin didn't know there was a pitfall, so he nodded and said: "Okay, as long as more than 20% of the officials stand up and ask them to dismiss, then I will agree. Is this the head office?"

What Li Shimin said is the truth, as long as 20% of the officials stand up, it is not up to Li Shimin to decide.

Li Ke smiled: "Father, this is what you said, don't blame me later."

Seeing Li Ke's smile, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

Li Ke turned around and said loudly: "My lords, how about my printing technique? I promise you, today, as long as you help me, I will not publish this printing technique, and keep it for my own use. I, Li Ke, said When it is done, there is no more nonsense, you can choose for yourself!"

bang.

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened immediately, and he stared at Li Ke.

Wang Gui also stared wide-eyed, looking at Li Ke in disbelief.

It's over, their official career has come to an end.

They are so smart, how could they not figure it out.

What are the great families most afraid of?That's right, I am most afraid of the flood of books.

As long as there is a flood of books, officials from poor families will spring up like bamboo shoots, and even commoner families can afford to read books.Their aristocratic family has no foundation to stand on.

From then on, the emperor no longer needed to rely on their family to transport talents.

If there are more officials in civilian families, their aristocratic families will not be able to call the wind and rain in the court.

Li Ke got the books out, which can be said to be a drudgery to their aristocratic family.

But now, Li Ke gave them a chance.As long as they, family officials, help him, Li Ke will just play by himself.

As long as the books come out slowly, their aristocratic families still have a chance. At least within the next ten or twenty years, they can still dominate the court.

But if Li Ke announces the technology, it will be completely over.

At that time, paper mills and book factories will bloom everywhere.Books instantly entered thousands of households.So what chance does their family have?
Sure enough, an official surnamed Cui came out and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I also feel that Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji are old, and they should be allowed to go home to take care of themselves."

Immediately afterwards, the officials of the aristocratic families came out one by one, bowed their hands to Li Shimin and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

All of a sudden, almost all the family officials stood up, including those from the Taiyuan royal family.

Above the court, the situation changed suddenly.

Those who stood up and asked Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji to resign directly exceeded 60%.

gah...

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

This brat, even cheated on his father!
