The three people were squatting obscenely in the hot spring bath, chattering, and above the hot spring well, Li Yuan's even snoring was making his presence felt.
It was this big boss who overthrew all those who wanted to be kings and hegemons and founded the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Chubi just silently uttered a few words in his heart. Now, what he needs to pay attention to is the life and death of Cheng's printing house.
After all, Yu Zhining's analysis made him have to be vigilant. If it were those wealthy families, because of the great changes in the inheritance of writing brought about by movable type printing.
They must realize that this will make books, the carrier of culture, very cheap and high-quality, leading to unreasonable cultural expansion.
Once the carriers of culture are no longer valuable, more and more poor scholars will be able to inherit a large amount of knowledge without being restricted by them.
This kind of technological innovation, which is also poaching their lifeblood, will not make them stare blankly and only dare to make small moves like the reform of the imperial examination system by the imperial court.
Those aristocratic families that can stand for thousands of years are definitely capable of doing tricks and deeds that Cheng Chubi could not imagine, just to prevent the spread of movable type printing.
Just like engraving and printing, even engraving and printing can be regarded as a technological innovation, but those aristocratic families who control the printing house.
They are more willing to use it to print various Buddhist scriptures and classics, but are not willing to use it to print books that carry the spread of cultural ideas.
Even if they can't stop it for a while, as long as there is a chance, they will try their best to stop it.
To put it bluntly, if you are a little careless, a bottle of kerosene or a huozi will be enough to wipe out the hard work of Cheng Chubi and Li Ke these days.
"Then, what should we do?" Li Ke's face also looked a little ugly. Yes, after Yu Zhining said this, the only way he could think of was to take precautions.
But the problem is that he is only a prince, and because of the privacy of the printing shop, he does not dare to go in and out of the printing shop often.
After Cheng Chubi moved his eyes furtively for several times, his eyes lit up and he looked at Li Ke, an excellent royal toolman.
"In this case, we can only ask His Majesty to take action."
"My father, is this, is this appropriate?" Li Ke saw the look from brother Chu Bi and already knew in his heart that his father must have leaked something.
Yu Zhining looked at Cheng Chubi with a sincere look on his face, and nodded with deep approval.
"General Cheng is indeed astute. If we offer the Cheng's Printing House to His Majesty, it will make those wealthy families fear His Majesty's power and not dare to take action.
Then we can rest assured and build momentum for His Royal Highness. This is really a way to get the best of both worlds."
Cheng Chubi slapped his face and mouth, looked at Yu Zhining unhappily.
"Just wait a minute, Yu Zhanshi. Do you mean to let me give it to His Majesty for free?"
Yu Zhining couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cheng Chubi's expression. "What else?"
Li Ke also tilted his head and looked at Brother Chu Bi, thought about it, and gave a sincere suggestion.
"Yes, it's dedicated to my father. When my father is happy, he might even give you a promotion or something."
"???" Cheng Chubi glanced at Yu Zhining and Li Ke with a dark expression. Oh my god, why don't you think I just got my money in vain?
As for the father who is dedicated to you, the bad prince, haha, I haven’t received my salary for more than a year. How can your father, a stingy man, give out five thousand guan?
"Impossible, what if this is the printing house that I built with all my heart and blood?" Cheng Chubi said resolutely. "Even if it is Your Majesty, I can't give it away for nothing."
I am determined not to give it up to anyone else, even if that person is the emperor or a boss.
"..." Yu Zhining and Li Ke stared blankly at Cheng Chubi who looked unhappy.
After Cheng Chubi uttered these words, he saw the strange expressions on the two people's faces and quickly volleyed up a step for himself.
"Of course, it's not impossible to give it with conditions."
"..." Yu Zhining and Li Ke looked at Cheng Sanlang with dark expressions on their faces. One blink of an eye he was extremely tough, and the next blink of an eye he seemed to be cowardly.
I almost wanted to give him a slap in the face, but unfortunately, this guy also boasted that he was a child of the Wu family with bones stronger than steel, and a coward softer than noodles.
"What? Is what Cheng said wrong?"
Cheng Chubi stared with some displeasure. I can't offend the great emperor, so why can't I offend you two?
"Brother Chu Bi, I really admire you, really..." Li Ke looked dumbfounded and surrendered to Brother Chu Bi.
If I had Brother Chubi's ability to change the situation in the blink of an eye and be shameless, I don't know how much I could have suffered less and suffered less beatings.
Just when Yu Zhining was about to say something, Cheng Chubi's face changed slightly and he quickly stood up.
His hands stirred the water, stirring up splashes and foam, covering up the bubbles emerging from the bottom of the water.
Then he stood up and looked around curiously. "Huh? Where is the Emperor?"
Li Ke shrugged his nose with a slightly puzzled expression.
"My grandpa Huang seems to have asked those people to carry him back to the house to rest... Hey, what does this smell like?"
After all, Yu Zhining was a well-informed veteran driver. He laughed happily, scraped the water surface, took a handful of water and wiped his face with a smile.
"This smell should be the smell of sulfur... I smelled it once a few days ago. It's not surprising to smell it again today."
Li Ke nodded with a sudden look on his face. "Yes, yes, I have heard it too. I remember an official from the Ministry of Industry said it.
There are hot springs in some places in the Tang Dynasty. The smell of sulfur can almost make people faint. That kind of spring can be called a poisonous spring..."
Having said this, Li Ke turned his head and saw Chu Bi rubbing his face with one hand and touching his belly with the other, and he couldn't help but say suspiciously.
"Brother Chu Bi, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Chubi wiped his face fiercely, then let go of his big hand rubbing his stomach, and raised his thumb sincerely towards Yu Zhining.
"No, no, no, no, no, I just feel that Yu Zhan is indeed a knowledgeable and well-informed person. His knowledge is superior to that of Cheng. I admire him."
Yu Zhining was suddenly praised by Cheng Chubi. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he could only hum and say a few polite words.
Of course, as a responsible member of the Cheng family, Cheng Chubi can swear to God that what he did just now was definitely not intentional.
But since these two people already think that this is a beautiful misunderstanding, do they want to uncover this beautiful lie and reveal the truth?
It's better to continue to let this misunderstanding continue, so as to avoid them smelling sulfur and thinking it was a fart next time.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi looked at Yu Zhining and Li Ke who were still bragging and spanking enthusiastically in front of them. The smiles on their faces were so gentle and peaceful.
