My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 418 Type
"Your Highness is so energetic!"

"Mother-in-law, this king is full of energy now, and he has nowhere to vent! The only thing he can do is chop wood."

As Li Zhi said, he raised his sword, and slashed forward heavily with one sword, followed by the second sword, and the third sword, each time he cut a sword, no, it was a sword, and took a step forward.

"Your Highness, my sister has come to the mansion."

Mrs. Wang saw that her son-in-law was indeed too energetic, and she couldn't help but praise it in her heart. It's good to be young.

But at this time there is still business, so naturally he can't let his son-in-law continue chopping like this, and a good sword is used by him as a hatchet.

"Oh, tell Mrs. Zheng to wait a moment, the king wipes off his sweat, changes his clothes and then goes over."

When Murong Xueying put on her clothes and got up, the yard outside was already covered with sawdust.

"Come to Xingyang, all the firewood in this firewood room has been split by His Highness."

At this moment in the living room, Mrs. Wang accompanied King Jin, and Mrs. Zheng had been sitting here for a while.

Seeing King Jin coming, Mrs. Zheng got up quickly and gave a little blessing to King Jin.

"Have you discussed it with the fourth master of the Zheng family?"

"It's been discussed. My husband feels that it's a bit of a disadvantage to His Highness to let His Highness take [-]% of the silver. My husband arranged for people to print books, and all the printed books were sold by His Highness's people. What does His Highness think?"

"The king said that he only got [-]% of the achievements, so there is no need to say more about that."

"That's okay. My husband has some trustworthy people at this time, but it's still a lot short. My husband wants to recruit some people. I wonder if His Highness can help?"

"Mother-in-law, call Cui Yan!"

"I'm going right now."

"Madam Zheng, I'm relieved to leave this matter to the fourth master of the Zheng family. If you are really short of manpower, this king can help you. If you are afraid that this king will not trust you, there is no need to do so."

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. There is a real shortage of manpower. Your Highness also knows that although my husband has some status in the family, he is only the fourth wife."

"Well, I will let Cui Yan think of a way. If there are not enough manpower, I will dispatch from the Luoyang government army."

"Your Highness, let me say a few more words. If Your Highness entrusts this skill to my master, you won't be afraid that we will lose His Highness's silver. Don't you send a few cronies to the printing workshop that is about to start?"

"Haha, if I dare to hand it over to you, I won't be afraid of any manipulations by you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

At this time, Cui Yan had already arrived here with Mrs. Wang, so Li Zhi naturally introduced Cui Yan to Mrs. Zheng.

"It's really the second miss of the Cui family. We haven't seen each other for many years."

"Aunt Liu, I haven't seen you for many years."

"Oh, you know each other, that's the best, Yan'er, you can talk to Mrs. Zheng about the book printing, if the fourth master of the Zheng family needs any help, just do your best to help."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he had already walked out, and brought his mother-in-law out as well.

"Yu'er, you also followed His Highness the Ninth Prince. I heard the news in Xingyang before, but I didn't think it was true. Your heart is high. I thought those words were just rumors. By the way, I have been here several times. , why didn't I see you before?"

"A few days ago, I went to Luoyang to do some work, and I entrusted all the business of His Royal Highness Yinzhuang to me."

"All entrusted to you, by the way, last time His Highness said that the women's small clothes and the new cheongsam from Zhuyuan are also true?"

"As long as your highness is related to money, you will entrust me to take care of it."

"His Highness trusts you so much?"

"Aunt Liu, if you spend more time with His Highness, you will understand what kind of person His Highness is."

"By the way, Aunt Liu, let's not talk about this. Since the fourth house of the Zheng family has agreed to cooperate with His Highness, I will tell Aunt Liu about the movable type printing now, so that Aunt Liu can prepare earlier. Start printing immediately."

Cui Yan said that he had already taken a purse, and when the purse was opened, several carved wooden types fell out of the purse, Cui Yan took one and showed it to Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng looked at it, and saw that this wooden movable type was like a small seal, with only a letter engraved on it upside down.

"Yu'er, how do you use this? It's like putting a stamp on the paper?"

"In that case, it's not much faster than writing, and it takes more time to find movable type. Aunt Liu is watching!"

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly looked at it carefully, this is a serious matter, whether her husband can make a difference in the Zheng family depends on this thing!

Cui Yan took other movable type and arranged them in one place, with the engraved side of each movable type facing up, then Cui Yan dipped a brush in ink, drew on the movable type, and then directly covered it with a piece of paper.

When the piece of paper was taken off, the words "Li Yi Ren Zhi Xin" appeared on the paper.

"Aunt Liu, do you see clearly?"

"See clearly, this method is indeed wonderful. As long as there are all the words on a page of a book, you only need to arrange them and brush the ink, and then a page of a book can be formed."

"Aunt Liu, this method needs to print at least a few hundred copies at a time. I will help Aunt Liu gather enough manpower in the next few days. Aunt Liu will go back and find a few trusted carpenters to make this movable type first. The movable type must be of the same specification. Prepare more commonly used words."

"Okay, Your Highness's method is not only wonderful, but also simple. This method was conceived from the seal. How come no one thought of it before!"

"Aunt Liu, His Highness has specifically instructed you not to tell others that His Highness passed it on to you."

"Okay, I'll keep this in mind. Yan'er, Aunt Liu is leaving now, and I have to hurry up on this matter."

"Well, I'll take Aunt Liu out!"

Cui Yan sent Mrs. Zheng away, and when he came back, he came to Li Zhi's place. Seeing Li Zhi practicing arrows, he stood aside.

"Yu'er, this king finds it strange that Mrs. Zheng and my mother-in-law are sisters, and you were not familiar with my mother-in-law before. Why do you call her Aunt Liu? She looks very familiar."

"Who said I'm not familiar with His Highness's mother-in-law! It's just that His Highness married Wang Yan's sister, so I don't want to meet your mother-in-law, let's talk about Aunt Liu!"

Li Zhi patted his forehead with his hands, that's all, let's not mention this matter, these aristocratic families are really intertwined, and they can't even make sense of them.

At the level of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, there are all kinds of relationships among the top clans, the most important of which is the relationship of in-laws. Through mutual marriages, these top clans gradually form a relationship based on blood relatives. Interest groups linked by various interests.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, the most important interest groups were the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Clan Group.

Cui Yan was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, so he really doesn't know the Liu family, how could it be possible.

"Okay, okay, it's the king's fault, Yan'er, you're going to be busy too, this time the printing of the Zheng family's fourth room is also an important matter, so don't be sloppy."

"Well, this Yan'er knows that I have called Ying'er back from Yangzhou. I originally asked her to be busy with Luoyang and Chang'an Yinzhuang. Now it's just right to let her go to Zheng's house first."
