Wenyi said: "It's not difficult to print enough albums. A kid can do it. If you want to spread it, you have to borrow the power of the government. It should be possible to propose to His Majesty in your name."

Although the people are illiterate, there are so many scholars in the world, and it is much easier for the people to find scholars than to find doctors.

With illustrations, it should work.”

Sun Simiao looked at Wenyi with burning eyes and said: "Xiaoyi, do you know how much money it costs to print such a huge amount of books?

You take it too much for granted."

Wenyi smiled and said: "Today's books are all engraving printing, and the paper is expensive, so the price of books remains high.

But the boy figured out a new printing and papermaking technology that could reduce the current price of paper to about 100 sheets and ten cents.

Isn’t this problem solved?”

Sun Simiao was surprised and said: "Seriously?"

Wenyi nodded and said: "Grandpa Sun, do you think that now the engravings are carved as a whole. If there is a mistake, it has to be destroyed and started again. What if every word is taken apart and carved?"

Wouldn’t it be convenient to make a mold, select the words you need to use, put them into the mold, and then print them on paper?”

Sun Simiao thought for a while and said: "This method is feasible.

Without further ado, Pindao will start sorting things out right now.”

Wenyi said: "Grandpa Sun, I am fortunate to know His Highness the King of Qin.

You stay at my house for a few more days and sort out the prescriptions. I will go to His Highness the King of Qin to discuss this matter.

The King of Qin is kind and should agree to this matter."

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "Okay, please be careful on the road and go back quickly. I'll be staying at your house recently."

After Wenyi agreed, he went to the bullock cart and put the revolver and bullets for Li Shimin. Thinking of the quirky little girl, he also put the music box that he had made in his spare time and told Shitou to serve Sun Simiao well at home.

Then he drove the ox cart straight to Chang'an.

After Wenyi entered Chang'an, he rushed directly to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

After informing the guards of the palace of his name, King Qin Li Shimin strode out soon after, laughing and saying: "Xiaoyi, you are here, I miss you so much."

Wenyi quickly saluted and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have come to ask for something today, and I hope Your Highness will grant it."

Li Shimin grabbed his hand and dragged him into the house, saying, "Xiao Yi, why are you so polite? If you need my help for anything, just ask me and I will help you."

After the two of them entered the living room and separated the host and guest, Wenyi said: "Your Highness, I went to the mountains to collect herbs a few days ago and met Taoist Sun Simiao by chance, so I invited him to my home.

When Grandpa Sun and the boy were discussing medical skills, they mentioned that they wanted to print the diagnosis and treatment methods and types of medicines for some common diseases and spread them throughout the country. Now that Grandpa Sun is sorting out the prescriptions at home, the boy came to ask your highness to help print and distribute them all over the world."

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Xiaoyi, you are lucky to have met Sun Shenyi, but do you know how much money it will cost to spread it across the country?

Even though I try my best, I can't do it."

Wenyi said: "I have new printing and papermaking techniques. I would like to present them to His Highness. I hope Your Highness will accept them."

Li Shimin was surprised and asked: "What is the difference between your new printing and papermaking technology and now?"

Wenyi replied: "Your Highness, the boy's new printing technology does not require engraving, but only typesetting. Papermaking technology can produce paper with better quality than most papers on the market, and the cost should be reduced to about ten cents for a hundred sheets."

Li Shimin suddenly stood up and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoyi, this matter is of great importance, you can't talk nonsense."

Wenyi also stood up and saluted, saying: "Every sentence in this little clause is true, I don't dare to deceive it."

Li Shimin was indeed a born superior. He immediately controlled his emotions, sat down again and said, "I need to discuss this. Xiaoyi, please go to the wing to rest first."

Wenyi bowed to Li Shimin again and followed the servant to the side room to rest.

Li Shimin immediately ordered people to invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other advisers, and held secret discussions for a long time until sunset, and then called Wenyi to the meeting hall.

Li Shimin said directly: "Xiaoyi, I have decided to support this matter with my power. Tomorrow, I will return with you and I will handle this matter personally."

Wenyi was overjoyed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness! I am very grateful!"

Everyone dispersed, and the art was delayed until the end. Seeing that he and Li Shimin were the only ones left, he said to Li Shimin: "I have something to trouble your highness when I come here this time."

Li Shimin said generously: "But it doesn't matter."

Wenyi glanced at the servant and maid.

Li Shimin understood and waved for them to go down.

Only then did Wenyi take out the new revolver from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin played with it curiously for a while and asked, "What is this?"

So weird?"

Wenyi took out another bullet and put it into the magazine, and said to Li Shimin: "This is the boy's sect's unique hidden weapon, called the 'revolver'.

It can fire 6 rounds of bullets continuously, and there will be no missed bullets within fifty steps, and anyone who is hit within a hundred steps will be killed!"

Li Shimin opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Quickly demonstrate it to me."

Wenyi nodded, took the revolver and loaded the magazine, looked at the rockery outside the door and said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, please take a look at the small tree on the rockery."

Literature and art are just a shot at a small tree.

The small tree broke in response, and a large piece of the stone on the rockery was also broken into pieces.

Li Shimin dismissed the guards who came to protect him for unknown reasons, took the revolver and said to Wenyi: "This is indeed a good weapon.

It can be carried anywhere and has extraordinary power. I wonder if it can be produced in large quantities?"

Wenyi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, this object is only suitable for self-defense, not for combat. The range is too close.

Moreover, making bullets is very difficult and costly, and the boy only made a hundred rounds.

If it is produced in batches, it will cost a lot, and it will be troublesome if someone gets it and hurts himself, so I suggest that your highness just use it yourself."

Li Shimin nodded a little disappointed and said, "Okay, with this thing, it's much safer.

Do you want to give it to me?"

Wenyi said: "Exactly, I want to present this thing to His Highness.

I like to make some weird things, but I don’t have reliable manpower now, so I would like to ask Your Highness to arrange some loyal people to assist me.”

Li Shimin thought to himself: What a good boy, he is so trusting of me, isn't he afraid that this king will take away his treasure?

No matter what, if you treat me with integrity, I will not fail you.

Said: "Okay, I will bring fifty absolutely loyal family generals this time, and then I will leave them all to you. Is that enough?"

Literary Art was overjoyed. He nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "That's enough, that's enough."

Li Shimin immediately issued countless orders to all the craftsmen in the house, as well as various tools and materials.

Wenyi went to give gifts to the little girl Shuer.

The little girl had a great time playing with the music box. When she heard that Li Shimin was going to his house, she hurriedly went to Li Shimin to play coquettishly and said that she wanted to go with him. Li Shimin had no choice but to take her with him.

The next day, he led 500 people and returned to Wailiu Village with Wenyi.

Also accompanying him were Changsun Wuji, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other close associates.

The literary ox cart was handed over to the logistics camp, and Li Shimin personally found him a docile war horse and taught him how to ride it.

He arrived home in just two days. Li Shimin had the army stationed outside the village, and he only entered the village with Zhang Sun Wuji and a few others.

When Mr. Fang saw Li Shimin, his legs trembled with fright, and he saluted cautiously. Li Shimin hurriedly supported him and said, "I don't need to be polite, I am just a guest at Xiaoyi's invitation. I am a troublesome person, and I hope to atone for my sins."

Mr. Fang said bluntly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."

He hurriedly stepped aside.

Sun Simiao had already heard the movement and stood at the door to greet him.

Li Shimin stepped forward and bowed first and said: "Li Shimin, King of Qin, has met Sun Shenxian!"

Sun Simiao smiled and returned the courtesy: "I have seen the King of Qin, please come in."

Several people entered the courtyard and wanted to go into the room to talk, but found that the room was too small to accommodate everyone, so they had to sit in the courtyard. They borrowed a few chairs from Uncle Shuan Zi and Mr. Fang's house to get together, creating a literary stand.

I kept touching my nose on the side, which was quite embarrassing.

Li Shimin sat down and said to everyone: "The last time I met Xiao Yi, the king wanted to ask him to be a court painter and enjoy the glory and wealth.

But he cared about the people and was reluctant to leave the villagers here without anyone to treat him, so he decisively rejected the king.

I didn’t expect Xiaoyi’s life to be so simple.”

Wenyi smiled and said: "A person, a bed and a mouthful of food are enough. Anything extra will only make people greedy. My master once wrote a poem, which was slightly disrespectful. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a senior expert, and he must have good advice. I am all ears to listen to you."

Literary Art then slowly read out "Ten Insufficiencies", a Sanqu written by Zhu Zaiyu of the Ming Dynasty: Running around all day just to be hungry, to have food and to think about clothes.

I put the silk on my body and raised my head but thought the house was too low.

He builds tall buildings and mansions, but he has a beautiful wife in front of his bed.

I have married all my lovely wives and beautiful concubines, but I am worried about not having a horse to ride on when I go out.

Use your money to buy a horse with a high head, and follow the horse less often.
