In one afternoon, Wenyi drove more than 300 kilometers, passing Baoji towards Tianshui, avoiding pedestrians along the way and driving exclusively in deserted areas.

At around 6 p.m., we arrived near Qingshui County.

Wen Si went to ask for directions and was surprised to learn that he had arrived in Qingshui County.

He hurriedly came back and reported: "Young Master, we have arrived at Qingshui County."

Wenyi nodded and said: "Wen Er and Wen San are responsible for checking the condition of the vehicles and making good records. Wen Yi and Wen Four are going to hunt some rabbits and make a fire for cooking."

Everyone took their orders and started busy.

After they had had enough wine and food, Wenyi took them all the way back.

The tungsten light is too weak to see very far, so I drove it slower this time.

It wasn't until early in the morning that I felt "hope".

The remaining men stood at the door anxiously waiting for them to come back. When they saw the lights coming from far away, they shouted in celebration. After all, the car was a fairy treasure to them.

Such a treasure comes from their hands. How can you not be excited if the test drive is successful?

Wenyi followed them around for a while and then ordered everyone to rest and return to the village tomorrow to continue the celebration.

Something unexpected happened, and when Wenyi and the others happily returned to Wailiu Village, they saw Changsun Wuji standing anxiously pacing in the courtyard.

Wenyi stepped forward and saluted: "Young man Wenyi has met your eldest grandson uncle."

As soon as Changsun Wuji saw Wenyi, he hurriedly came up, pulled Wenyi and walked out, and said: "Xiaoyi, something happened, I moved the printing factory to Chang'an, but who knew that it was burned down as soon as I moved there.

"

Wenyi was a little confused. He came back too late last night. He originally planned to go home and catch up on his sleep. Who knew that he was pulled into the carriage by his eldest grandson as soon as he got home.

Only then did we know the whole story: It turned out that Li Shimin worked overtime to print books in order to promote the promotion of "Qianjin Prescription" as soon as possible. As a result, he was found out that he could print 50,000 copies a day. In this era, such a printing speed was unimaginable.

of.

Various aristocratic families began to panic. The popularity of "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" had no impact on them. However, if educational books such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Shuowan Jiezi" were printed in large quantities, it would have a devastating blow to the status of their families and their soldiers.

Therefore, as soon as Changsun Wuji moved the printing factory to Chang'an, it was completely destroyed.

It has not yet been found out who it is, but Changsun Wuji speculates that it should be Li Jiancheng's subordinate.

This time we called for literature and art because all the craftsmen who knew how to repair and repair the production machines in the printing factory were killed.

Li Shimin no longer had any craftsmen who knew how to make printing presses, so he asked Wenyi to rush over and repair the printing factory.

The paper mill was not destroyed because the family wanted to monopolize new paper and was fighting with Li Shimin. The destruction of the printing plant was also a warning to Li Shimin.

Wenyi sat on the carriage, thinking about countermeasures and regaining his energy. After all, he was a little overwhelmed after staying up most of the night.

After Changsun Wuji finished explaining the cause and effect, seeing that he was in low spirits, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

When I arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion, my literary and artistic spirit improved a lot.

He went straight to Li Shimin's study and bowed first when he saw Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's originally gloomy face put on a smile the moment he saw Wenyi, and said: "Xiaoyi, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for several days. Without you, the printing factory cannot be built."

Wenyi smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't panic. I've already thought about this. It's easy to build a printing house. The difficulty lies in how to prevent people with ulterior motives from destroying it again."

Li Shimin quickly asked: "Has Xiaoyi paid attention?"

Wenyi nodded and said: "Your Highness, I have some suggestions.

What is the purpose of building printing and paper mills?

It is to enable the common people to be able to read and write.

So why do we have to keep the technology of paper mills and printing plants in our hands?

If everything is announced, those families who want to block paper books will definitely set up their own paper mills and printing plants for their own selfish purposes. With the current technological capabilities, they cannot completely digest the paper they produce internally, so they will definitely use some of it.

Sell ​​in the market.

By then there will definitely be discord between their aristocratic families, and then we can sit back and watch the tigers fight, and we can also use their hands to complete the promotion of paper and books."

Li Shimin thought for a long time and said: "No, what if they reach a consensus and resist unanimously?

Also, now that all the books are locked inside the family, it is impossible for them to print books and sell them."

Literary Art said: "First, human nature is greedy. As long as we spread rumors about papermaking and printing profits, they may resist unanimously on the surface, but behind the scenes they will definitely build paper or printing workshops privately.

Second, I met a storyteller not long ago and got some inspiration from him. We can guide people's public opinion and make up some stories to make people support those families who are willing to print books and hate those families who are unwilling to print.

Sometimes they are forced to print books due to pressure and to protect the reputation of their family."

Li Shimin thought for a while before he said: "The profits from paper and books are indeed attractive. That's why I don't want to hand them over. However, after listening to your analysis, I feel that I am a bit petty. I am not short of money. As long as the purpose is

Just reach it.

I wonder why Xiaoyi has any specific plans?"

Wenyi nodded and said: "First of all, let's spread the word that the technology and profits of papermaking and printing will be disclosed, but not completely. The printing technology will be handed over to a big family.

Papermaking technology will be announced in the form of a secret auction, that is, everyone who wants to obtain papermaking technology can send their quotation to the house within a period of time, and the one with the highest price will get it, with a total of 20 places.

If we don’t announce the winning bidder, internal conflicts will arise when they complete the paper mill, and we can operate it well.”

Li Shimin slapped his thigh and said: "This method is feasible. I will recruit people to discuss it."

He shouted to the outside world: "Please call the auxiliary machine quickly. Fang Xuanling and others will come to the study to discuss matters."

After a while, everyone gathered together.

Li Shimin repeated the idea of ​​literature and art, and everyone thought quietly for a while. Du Ruhui said: "This method can be tried. The specific matters need to be arranged in detail."

Just when everyone was discussing intensely, a sergeant suddenly rushed in from outside, knelt down on one knee and reported loudly: "Reporting to the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince failed in the crusade against Wang Shichong and lost his troops and generals. He has now retreated to Jade City.

Your Majesty ordered the King of Qin to lead 20,000 troops to quickly support us."

Everyone was shocked. Li Shimin clenched his fists and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!"

Li Shimin sneaked out of the study very wisely. He didn't want to participate in the military yet. Besides, Li Shimin was a military genius. How could he, a young boy who had never been on the battlefield, compare with him?

When Wenyi Zuo had nothing to do, he went to see Shu'er to see what the girl was doing now. He promised her to bring her a gift last time, but was dragged to the ground by Changsun Wuji. He didn't prepare anything, so he hurriedly went to apologize to her, otherwise who would know

What kind of trouble will she cause again?

When we arrived at Shuer's small courtyard, Shuer appeared sitting in the courtyard, embroidering carefully, as quietly as a lady.

Wenyi was very surprised. He had never seen Shu'er have a quiet side. In his mind, Shu'er was just like the doted girls in later generations, quirky, naughty and willful.

Stopping the milk tea salute, he quietly walked to Shu'er and sat down, only to realize that what she was showing off was a small lotus.

I couldn't help but ask: "Shu'er, who are you embroidering for?"

Shu'er was startled. She raised her head and saw that it was Wenyi. She was surprised and embarrassed at the same time. She raised her fist and hit Wenyi twice. Then she raised the lotus to show off and said, "Doesn't it look good?

My aunt is going to give birth to a younger brother for me, and I am going to embroider a little bellyband for him.

What have you prepared?

And where is my gift?

No one told me when I came.

How disgusting.”

Wenyi touched his nose and said: "This time I have been thinking hard for three days and three nights to prepare a story for you as a gift, okay?"

Shuer became interested and urged: "Tell me quickly."

Wenyi then brought out "The Legend of White Snake" to perfunctory her. Sure enough, no woman can resist the beautiful love. By the end of the story, Shu'er was crying so hard that she kept asking Wenyi to take her to the West Lake in Hangzhou to rescue the White Snake under the Leifeng Pagoda.

.

This caused Literary and Art to rush to explain that this was just a story and should not be taken seriously.

He also asked Xiaomi to play "Wait for a Thousand Years" to comfort Shu'er, but Shu'er cried again... Wenyi had no choice but to run away in despair.

Not long after returning to the guest room, Changsun Wuji came over to find Wenyi and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has gone to prepare military affairs and will go on an expedition tomorrow.

Before leaving, I told you that you would be solely responsible for papermaking and printing matters.

I will help you."

Wenyi nodded and said: "Uncle Changsun, you can send people to spread rumors now, saying that we are going to publish all the technologies of papermaking and printing in order to make people all over the world read and write.

Your Majesty, please ask Uncle Changsun to explain."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

After Changsun Wuji left, Wenyi was bored in the guest room and prepared to make some baby products for Li Chengqian, who was about to be born, to pass the time.

In two days, Wenyi made a baby walker, a baby stroller and a cradle.

Shu'er was very happy to see it and insisted on trying it one by one. She said, "Try it for my brother to see if it works."

Her 18-year-old girl was sitting in a stroller and letting Wenyi push her around.

Wenyi had no choice but to ask Qin Wu and Milk Tea to move the remaining items to the princess's place, and he pushed Shu'er to follow behind.

The servants went in to inform the princess, and Wenyi came to visit the princess with gifts.

The eldest grandson walked out of the house with the help of the maid with a big belly. When he saw Shu'er huddled up and sitting in a small car, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Girl, you are so old and you are still so naughty. Come down quickly and throw it away."

No shame."

Shu'er obediently got off the stroller and came to the side of her eldest grandson, holding her hand and saying coquettishly: "Aunt, Wenyi has made a lot of fun things for my brother, please take a look."

Without waiting for Wen Yi to open his mouth, he explained to his eldest grandson the things that Wen Yi did.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson smiled and said to Wenyi: "Sorry for bothering Xiaoyi, these are really good, I like them very much."

After saying that, he ordered people to accept these gifts, and took Shuer and Wenyi to the living room to sit down.

He patted Shu'er's head lovingly and said, "Shu'er, this child is used to being pampered by King Qin and me. Please don't take offense to Xiaoyi's rudeness."

Wenyi smiled and said, "The princess is joking. Shu'er is quirky and very lovable. How can I be surprised?"
