late at night.

Li Chengqian returned to his Eastern Palace, but was called to Liangyi Palace by He De.

He was a little confused.

At this time, my father had already rested...

Is it because I am so abnormal today because I am worried about my sister who has been away for the first time?

But no matter what, when the father shouted, he still had to go.

Inside Liangyi Hall.

His Majesty Li Er looked at his son in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"I asked you to discuss the matter with Lu Risheng about the Chang'an newspaper before. Is there any result?"

Li Chengqian was stunned.

He recalled carefully and it seemed that this was indeed true.

However, what Lu Heng said to him later was probably just to do whatever he wanted. Anyway, His Majesty Li Er's strategic vision would definitely not be bad. They can no longer continue to build a new bookstore for a while, so it would be okay to give it to him.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian bowed:

"Father, my son has already discussed it with Risheng. This technology can be given to you at any time."

"only……"

"I want to ask, what are you going to use for?"

Li Shimin was also stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that Li Chengqian, who had always obeyed his own words, would take the initiative to ask about his follow-up plans today.

This was a bit unexpected.

After thinking for a while, His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's a good thing to know how to ask."

"But you can first talk about what this technology is, how much expenses it costs, how mass production is, and how much investment is required at the beginning."

"If not, I can't just say what I have plans, right?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian also felt that this is the reason.

So he told the story.

"This technology was developed by Lu Heng himself, and he called it movable type printing."

"Our Tang Dynasty originally had printing, but it was just carved plates made of whole pieces of wood, and most of them were used to print Buddhist scriptures and other objects."

"He said he got inspiration from the seal, changed it, divided the entire template, and let the craftsmen engrave the small square clay blocks, and then baked it into a half-porcelain and half-ceramic."

"If you use more words, engrave more words, and if you don't use them frequently, engrave less words."

"When you need to print, just stick the cubes into the wooden frame and print them one by one on the paper."

"After printing, use fire to roast the sticky area for a short time, and the cubes can be removed again, and you can continue to use it afterwards."

"The reason why Chang'an News can be printed so quickly and in large quantities is because of this technique!"

Li Shimin was shocked and confused when he heard this.

Although I had already guessed before, it must be a very novel technology that allowed Lu Heng to create the World Bookstore and the Chang'an Daily in a short period of time...

But this movable type printing is indeed a bit beyond his imagination!

The reason why he was jealous of this technology was because he saw the speed and quality of Lu Heng and his friends' books.

The books from Tianxia Bookstore were sent to His Majesty Li Er when they opened. The text contents were all from the study of the East Palace, so there was no problem. The words were not handwritten by people when they saw them.

As for the Chang'an News, which only released two issues, it shocked Chang'an City with its speed and quantity!

If this technique is mastered in the hands of the court, what would it be nice to do?

Just the national documents distributed to various roads, prefectures and county governments every year can save a lot of money and save a lot of time.

Not to mention it is used to print books!

Li Shimin was sitting and listening before.

Thinking of this, he stood up!

"How many people know about this technology now?"

His Majesty Li Er stared at his son:

"I heard that the Cheng family has invested a lot in that Tianxia Bookstore..."

"Does his family know?"

Li Chengqian shook his head.

"Father, this matter was done with us. Duke Lu didn't actually participate much."

"You also know that Chumo is a person. He is not very careful. He hasn't asked, so we didn't say anything."

"Now, only Erchen, Risheng, Yuer, and the craftsmen who know this technology."

Li Shimin was excited.

He asked:

"Those craftsmen are nothing, right?"

"When the bookstore was burned, were they in the yard of your bookstore?"

Li Chengqian continued to shake his head:

"Risheng had already placed them in his yard, and recently asked his son to invite the Hundred Riding Division's people to guard them."

"The original arrangement was to place the children of the craftsmen in the Lu house in the suburbs of Beijing, but now they have left Chang'an, and the children are sent to the Hutou Gang first."

"By the way... those craftsmen were originally found by Master Zhang of the Hutou Gang."

"But don't worry, they have never taken a step out of the courtyard so far, so it's OK!"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment.

He thought that a reckless man like Lu Heng would be reckless in his mind in everything he did. Although he had some wisdom from heaven, he still needed to clean up the mess himself in many things.

Unexpectedly, the arrangement was quite appropriate.

After a while.

He said in a deep voice:

"Gao Ming, I'll give you an errand."

"Transfer all the craftsmen in the yard out of Chang'an City as soon as possible, and find a suitable place outside the city. The place should be large enough to allow the craftsmen's family to live there, and it should not be eye-catching and don't notice it."

"Their daughter-in-law and children are all taken back and sent together, and they will settle down there."

"I will specially send the Hundred Horsemen to protect the nearby areas."

"A craftsmen only need to work and pay all their money and food, and they don't have to worry about anything else!"

Li Chengqian was a little surprised.

He knew that movable type printing was a good thing.

But he didn't expect that after hearing this, his father would attach so much importance to it.

"Father, can you tell me what you are going to do with them?"

After hesitating for a long time, Li Chengqian finally asked again.

Li Shimin looked at his son and whispered:

"Lu Heng handed over this thing to you. I think he hoped to pave the way for you. I don't mind this."

"Since you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, you will naturally have to accumulate enough prestige before ascending the throne."

"Whether reputation or merit is considered in it."

"That kid made a big decision. I knew that I would not have rashly moved the five surnames and seven hopes before, so I only told you one person."

"But it's different now."

"They have already touched my bad temper, and I am not that easy to bully."

"I think so, too."

"The book is printed and sent to various prefectures in the Tang Dynasty. It will be distributed for free for a while before talking about it."

"It's great to support poor children to become upstarts and wash the Tang Dynasty's court!"

Li Chengqian was shocked.

He heard what Li Shimin wanted to do.

This is fucking...

Isn’t it just like Lu Heng’s plan to use a large number of cheap books to support poor families?

However, His Majesty Li Er's methods are just going to be more ruthless!
