Chapter 519 What, you don’t believe we can do it? (Please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi felt that he was still too lazy to deal with the Wu King Li Ke who was obviously envious, jealous, and hating his own talent, and who was obviously mentally divided.
He glanced left and right, and fortunately at this time, all the young eunuchs had retreated into the distance, leaving only Ning Zhong alone.
Apart from him, there were these four people present.
"Brother Chu Bi, this is obviously your own fault, not yours alone..." Li Chengqian had just finished speaking half of his words.
Yu Zhining on the side coughed twice with some recklessness, interrupting Li Chengqian's subsequent words.
He glanced at Cheng Chubi with a somewhat uneasy look, and said with a bit of shame.
"Your Highness, if it weren't for Your Highness being so excited today, he would be splashing ink at Lishan Tangquan Palace."
"How can General Cheng have such inspiration to relieve the suffering of poor scholars in the world?"
Seeing Yu Zhining take the initiative to stand up, although he was a little embarrassed, he still stubbornly said these shameless words.
This made Cheng Chubi very pleased, and his favorable impression of Zhining, the chief official of the East Palace, increased by five percentage points.
Although this guy is soft and cowardly, he is able to maintain his foothold while maintaining Li Chengqian's core interests, but he is much better than those like Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda.
Cheng Chubi bowed deeply to Li Chengqian and spoke sternly.
"Your Highness, what you said about Zhan is right. If it weren't for Your Highness's move of using brush and ink today, this movable type printing technology would definitely not have appeared."
"Yes, brother Huang, this is an honor you deserve. You must never refuse it."
Li Ke finally regained his senses, looked at his brother and advised him seriously.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Li Chengqian's indecisive look.
"Your Highness, you are the prince and the crown prince of the country. Since this matter has something to do with your highness, your highness must not give in."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at the three people in front of him, and after sipping for a long time, he smiled proudly and nodded heavily.
"In that case, then I will admit it."
Hearing this, several people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Zhining's eyes began to roll around.
"Your Majesty, you are staying at Lishan Tangquan Palace to recuperate on the pretext of accompanying you. Now that you have such a skill to benefit the country, how should you present it to Your Majesty..."
"Why don't you and your family go to Chang'an together?" Li Chengqian said without hesitation. Since he is already thick-skinned, there is no need to hide it.
After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Cheng Chubi saw Yu Zhining next to him raise his eyebrows. Although his expression was very calm, he could not hide the joy between his eyebrows.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Your Highness, I think it's inappropriate. It's definitely not the best time to offer this technique now."
"Oh? Why..." Yu Zhining was not over happy yet. Upon hearing this, he looked at Cheng Chubi with some displeasure.
"First of all, His Highness is still recuperating in Lishan Tangquan Palace, and presenting such a technique that will surely make countless poor men in the world cheer for the benefit of the country."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still staying in Tangquan Palace. It makes no sense and is not suitable both emotionally and rationally."
Yu Zhining's face couldn't help but look a little ugly, but he couldn't refute Cheng Chubi's words. Thinking about it, this was really the case.
Li Ke also nodded with deep understanding and said in agreement. "Brother Chu Bi's words are reasonable, but according to brother Chu Bi, is it possible that we have to wait until my brother's leg is completely healed?"
"Exactly. However, we are not doing nothing. We just took advantage of His Highness's recovery from illness in the past few months to come up with the movable type printing technology."
"If possible, print another three to five million books and present them to the court when His Highness returns to Chang'an."
"..." All four heads looked at Cheng Chubi with blackened and shocked faces.
It seemed as if he was accusing him, thinking that Cheng Chubi was seriously talking nonsense again.
"Why, you don't believe we can do it?" Cheng Chubi was unhappy. Why do these guys always like to look at themselves with such doubtful eyes?
If it weren't for the fact that everyone's relationship is pretty good, well, I really want to use physical means to make them all have a pair of black eye circles, and use it to find the bright stars in front of them.
"It's not us, it's you, Brother Chu Bi." Li Ke looked at this tall and mighty brother with a blank expression.
It seemed as if he saw the figure of a cow appearing behind him, getting bigger and bigger, flying higher and higher.
"No, no, it's us. To put it simply, it's me and you."
Cheng Chubi chuckled and looked at this royal tool, Humanity, which was very easy to use, with a look of relief on his face.
When Li Chengqian saw the confident Brother Chubi and the ugly-faced third brother Li Ke, who could only force a smile under the intimidation of Brother Chubi, he couldn't help but strike boldly with both palms.
"Since Brother Chu Bi is so confident, I don't know what I need to do. Whether it's money or manpower and material resources, whatever I can mobilize..."
"Then there will be no problem. But first, we must have a printing shop, preferably a ready-made printing shop with skilled craftsmen and experienced engraving masters."
"In addition, we also need to purchase a large amount of paper and various materials to support the printing of books."
As Cheng Chubi stated his plan clearly, Li Chengqian and others nodded frequently. Although everyone did not agree with it, Cheng Chubi wanted to print hundreds of thousands of books in just four or five months.
.
But everyone felt that it would be better to present the idea and concept of movable type printing to His Majesty than just to the court.
If we can present physical objects and have solid evidence, and even present a large number of books printed with movable type printing, it will naturally have a greater impact and sensation.
Even if it's not hundreds of thousands of copies, it's just 30,000 to 50,000 copies, that's still pretty impressive.
Yu Zhining stroked his long beard, nodded, and gave his own opinion.
"However, it is best to do everything quietly, and be sure not to let the movable type printing technology leak out in advance."
Cheng Chubi's eyes fell on Li Ke, and he gave the royal tool man a kind smile.
"Yes, this matter must be done, but it must be kept low-key. Therefore, if you want to buy the printing house, it is best to keep a low profile."
Li Ke saw everyone's eyes falling on him. His Highness King Wu, who was good at dancing and was well versed in various circles in Chang'an City, nodded helplessly.
"...The printing house, right? I'll do my best, little brother. After all, I haven't had any dealings with the printing house before."
"Then it's all your fault, Third Brother." Li Chengqian nodded and smiled at Li Ke, then turned his eyes back to Cheng Chubi.
"Brother Chu Bi, what should we do next?"
"Your Highness, I will remove your stitches tomorrow. After removing your stitches, please rest here quietly."
"Because His Majesty has said hello before, after removing His Majesty's stitches, I have to go to Chang'an to treat His Majesty the King of Wei's hidden hemorrhoids that he is ashamed of."
