Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 127
"Dr. Li listened to the decree:

Under the sect: Tang imperial physician order, imperial court doctor, founding Chang'an County Marquis Li Ze, with superb medical skills, and made great contributions to stabilizing Du Village. 20 victims of the disaster in Du Village were unable to return home for some reason, so Du Village was used as the original site, and 20 victims of the disaster were merged to establish Gaoling County , and specially conferred the post of Li Zeju County Magistrate. All matters in the county were decided by Li Mingfu alone, and Gaoling County was exempted from taxes for three years. "

"The third year of Zhenguan, in August. Kaifu Yi and the third secretary, Zuo Servant, shot Wei Guogong Fang Xuanlingxuan"

……

"The imperial edict is as above, and the execution is carried out!"

After Wang Sheng's words fell, Li Ze hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Your Majesty, run away!"

The internal servant Wang Sheng smiled and gently rolled up the imperial edict, and handed it to Li Ze, and immediately took out a cloth bag from his arms, and handed the county seal of Gaoling County to Li Ze.

"This item must be kept in a safe place. It is the proof of your tenure as the county magistrate. This Gaoling County has grown from scratch, but you have to bother Mr. Li. His Majesty also said that if there is any need, you can report it at any time. Li Gong is a great hero of the Tang Dynasty, if there is any difficulty, the court will never sit idly by!" Wang Sheng looked at the teenage young man in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Since he entered the palace, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been valued so much by Li Er.

"Thank you, prince!" Li Ze thanked Wang Sheng again and again.

After announcing the edict, Wang Sheng looked at the Imperial Physician Cheng Jiang Shaoqing and other imperial physicians and said: "Your Majesty knows that you have worked hard in Du Village for many days, and your achievements have not been made public. Your Majesty said that when the military doctors return After Beijing, I will give you a reward together."

"The Li Ming Mansion is now the county magistrate of Gaoling County. All the official positions under the county magistrate are selected by the Li Ming Mansion itself, and the salary is allocated by the imperial court."

"We still have something to do at home, so we won't bother you any more!"

Li Ze and 20 people sent him off together. After Wang Sheng left, everyone almost jumped up with excitement, especially the village chief Du Mao. Although he was the head of a village, 20 people entered the household He couldn't be busy with naturalization by himself.

Du Mao held Li Ze's hand tightly and said, "Ah! I'm finally looking forward to this day. The household registration of these 20 people has already registered more than [-], and I will hand over the position to you later."

"Congratulations to Li Mingfu for taking up the post of Gaoling County Magistrate!"

After the village chief finished speaking, the rest of the crowd bowed their hands to Li Ze one after another, congratulating him repeatedly.

Congratulations were heard endlessly for a while, making Li Ze dizzy.

But Li Ze's face is not very excited. This Gaoling County has grown from scratch, and it is just a piece of paper work with Li Er, but here, it is not a big deal to call on 20 people to build this county. Easy thing!

"Everyone, hurry up and slaughter the pigs and sheep, and congratulate Li Ming's mansion! Clean up the dust for Li Ming's mansion!" Du Mao hurriedly made arrangements, and many people were ready to squeeze out from the crowd.

After Li Ze heard this, he immediately refused sternly: "Fellow folks, I appreciate your kindness, but I am here today not only to take up the post of county magistrate, but also to take care of a major event."

"Nowadays Gaoling County is full of waste, and we have to create everything ourselves. The process of starting from scratch is very long, but there is not enough time right now, so we must hurry up."

After finishing speaking, Li Ze took out a stack of papers from his arms, on which were some handwriting written in square regular script.

These are all excerpts from the "Book of Rites" and sorted out into square fonts of appropriate size.

Li Ze looked at everyone solemnly and said, "Everyone, I know that you have worked very hard these days, but right now, there is still one big thing to do."

"Among you, is there a carpenter or someone with superb carving skills?"

Everyone looked around suspiciously, and the old man Liu Pei standing next to Li Ze hurriedly saluted Li Ze: "The old man is a carpenter from Luoping County. What's the use?"

Li Ze quickly helped the old man up and said, "If you engrave a seal according to the handwriting, how long would it take for a seal?"

The old man hunched over, raised his head and thought for a while and said, "If it's extremely fine, it will take a quarter of an hour; if it's relatively rough, it will take half a quarter to produce one."

Li Ze nodded slightly, then looked at the others and said, "I need a lot of carpenters or craftsmen who are good at carving here. I can pay six cents a day. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

"Six Wen?"

"My God! Six coins, two buckets of rice a day!"

Several farmers looked at Li Ze enviously, and were very excited for a while.

The carpenters lined up one after another, walking behind Li Ze and consciously lined up.

Afterwards, Li Ze said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, there will only be more and more jobs like this in the future."

"I still need bamboo strippers, clay sculptors, and a large number of people who are responsible for cooking, pounding, grinding, etc. When the time comes, I will ask Village Chief Du to help me choose people. I will slowly explain the following processes to you. .”

"Let's leave, everyone!"

Li Ze waved to all the people in Gaoling County, and then led the village chief, Liu Pei, and a few younger carpenters towards the depths of the village, while the servants started to tidy up the medical hall where Li Ze lived before.

Everyone came to the temporary thatched huts outside the gate of the medical hall. Although the smallpox patients in this village had all recovered, they did not remove the huts that were suggested for shade and sun protection.

Li Ze and others walked under the thatched shed, cut off a piece of wood with a saw, and gave it to Liu Pei to try carving.

Holding a square block of wood in his hand, the carving knife in Liu Pei's hand immediately flew up and down, and after a while, a anti-yang engraved word "Li" appeared on the block.

"Li Mingfu, this is the finely carved seal. Please take a look." Old man Liu Pei handed the square wooden block to Li Ze. Li Ze immediately took out the ink block, poured a few drops of water on it, and found a random place. Ink is ground on the stone.

Immediately afterwards, he dipped in the ink and pressed lightly on the paper, and a square "Li" appeared on the paper.

"Brother Gongsun, please take a look, how good is this?" Li Ze hurriedly spread the paper on the ground, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the word "Li" on the paper.

"That's right! Doctor Li is really smart. This method is indeed much faster than copying books!" Gongsun Yu looked at Luo Heng and Zhou Song, and was immediately excited.

This is almost a blessing for these scholars.

Once such technology is promoted, the price of books will inevitably plummet!
"Since this is the case, without delay, the three of you, Gongsun Yu, extracted these individual characters from the book, printed them on the square wooden blocks, and asked the carpenters to carve them. Liu Gong, you don't have to do this, there are even more Important things need to trouble you!"

After Li Ze finished speaking, Gongsunyu and the others took the paper and led a group of carpenters to cut wood and carve characters.

If you want to print a complete book, you need such a small number of seals. Although there are only a few dozen characters on a page, if you need to print a large number of characters, you must engrave more characters.

A "Book of Rites" has more than 20 characters, a "Book of Songs" has nearly [-] characters, and "Zuo Zhuan" has nearly [-] characters.

This huge workload is destined to take a lot of time.

At the same time, to make paper, you must not let the servants grind and pound the pulp by hand like in the Suzaku Mansion before. Li Ze has a bigger plan, a plan that can guarantee a complete change of the entire Gaoling County!
