Li Shimin snatched a copy from his arms, flipped through it, and there was still a faint smell of ink in the book, obviously these books had just been printed.
He looked at Li Chengqian in a daze, "Are all your books new?"
"Yes." Li Chengqian said lightly, "These books were all printed by Luban Pavilion in the past few days."
"What." Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, "You said that all the books in this library were printed by Lubange, or they were printed in the past few days!"
boom!
All the books in Kong Yingda's arms fell to the ground, which was shocking and earth-shattering.
This warehouse is full of tens of thousands of books, all of which were written by Lu Bange.
Listening to Li Chengqian's words, all the civil servants who ran into the book warehouse also came out, looking at Li Chengqian dumbfounded and dazzled, this is really unbelievable.
Li Chengqian said calmly: "Father is right, these books are indeed from Luban Pavilion, and they were indeed printed in the past few days."
Li Shimin turned his attention to Sun Liuchuan again, "Is what the prince said true?"
In an instant...
All eyes were on Sun Liuchuan. At this moment, he lost all cowardice and trembling, and said bluntly, "Return to Your Majesty, what His Majesty said is true, the place where the book is printed is in that yard!"
Following the direction of Sun Liuchuan's finger, Li Shimin walked away quickly without any hesitation. This matter is really too big.
All civil and military officials followed closely behind, striding towards the courtyard.
Li Chengqian looked at the anxious crowd and followed them slowly, he knew that with the insight of this group of people, they must be shocked.
This is why he arranged for everyone to visit the wool degreasing machine and wool spinning machine first.
Soon...
Everyone came to the paper making institute and printing institute.
Looking at the pond full of paper pulp and the paper piled up like a pile of weeds in the yard, they were like a bolt from the blue, unable to return to their senses for a long time.
Trembling, Kong Yingda staggered towards the paper that was drying.
To him, these things are more precious than gold and silver.
Even Xiao Yu who questioned him just now showed a look of surprise, all this was simply too shocking.
"Oh my God! I... I'm not dreaming, the papers in this courtyard are piled up in the courtyard like this..."
"How could this happen! Is His Royal Highness really a god descending from the heavens! He was able to transform the art of papermaking to such a proficient level..."
"Impossible...it's absolutely impossible...I've been to this paper-making place! I'm afraid I won't be able to make so much paper this year, and how much money will it cost..."
At this moment, the mood of the civil and military officials cannot be expressed in words, and the things in front of them have surpassed their cognition.
"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen Your Highness, I have seen all my lords..."
The paper workers watched Li Shimin and all the civil and military officials rushing to pay their respects.
Chapter 176 Daru apologized and opened a college
Why are you guys still staring blankly, these stacks of paper are relatively soft, hurry up and move them to the Huan Fan of His Royal Highness ("
At the same time, Qin Feng came out of the house with two people, who were still holding several stacks of papers in their arms.
The moment Qin Feng stepped out of the door, he felt that the air outside was much colder, and cold sweat dripped down his back.
He looked up and saw that Li Shimin and all civil and military officials were standing in the courtyard, looking at him coldly, their eyes were extremely sharp, if eyes could kill, then he would have died countless times.
Among them, the great Confucian Kong Yingda has the sharpest gaze, as if Qin Feng had a hatred for killing his father.
Qin Feng ran out in two steps in three steps, stepped forward and bowed and said: "My minister, see Your Majesty, see Your Highness the Crown Prince, and see your lords..."
Before Li Shimin and Li Chengqian spoke, Kong Yingda couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, "What were you talking about just now! Cough... Cough cough... What is this paper used for..."
With Qin Feng's words, Kong Yingda was so angry that he, who is usually very well-educated, is here, exhaling fragrance, how much hatred is there.
Li Chengqian's face darkened when he heard the words, he was so arrogant in Lao Tzu's territory, and even scolded Lao Tzu's people, "Master Kong, this is the Prince's Mansion, Qin Feng is my subordinate, please pay attention to your words, you are not qualified to reprimand my people .”
The words were filled with chills.
Everyone present knows that Li Chengqian is happy and angry, as long as his rules are broken, no matter whether you are civil servants, generals or nobles, he will definitely not save you any face.
And Li Chengqian is extremely defensive, he may not give a minister a smile, but he treats the maids, eunuchs and guards in the palace very kindly, never reprimands, let alone beats and scolds, except for those who are arrogant people.
As soon as these words came out, Kong Yingda couldn't hold back his face immediately. At this moment, he also realized that he had lost his composure. In front of Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, he had spoken a little rudely.
Kong Yingda bowed to Qin Feng and said, "Qin Feng, I hope you will forgive me for my rude remarks just now."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone including Li Chengqian cast respectful glances at Kong Yingda.
As worthy of being the grandson of Confucius, a great Confucianist in the world, this kind of heart alone made most of the audience secretly ashamed.
Kong Yingda's move also disappointed those who originally wanted to watch the excitement.
Qin Feng hurriedly replied, "Kong...Master Kong is too serious, Qin Feng will never dare to take it seriously."
Li Shimin hastily interrupted: "Chengqian, your prince's courtyard is really rich. You use such expensive paper to go to the toilet. You are more expensive than me."
"Expensive?" Li Chengqian said indifferently: "I think my father must have misunderstood the paper? The paper made by Luban Pavilion is extremely cheap, so cheap that it can be used for toilet use."
"Look at the paper in this yard, it's just a day's output in this yard. My son is planning to build several large-scale papermaking workshops and printing workshops in Chang'an City. In time, books can be freely circulated in the Tang Dynasty. That's not too difficult."
After hearing Li Chengqian's words, all civil and military officials were amazed.
"This... I heard it right, Your Highness actually said that books can be freely circulated in the Great Tang..."
"Look at the papers in the yard, and think about the books in the library just now, it's not difficult..."
"It seems that the pattern of education in this world is about to change dramatically..."
Li Shimin frowned into Sichuan characters, thinking very hard, "Chengqian, let me take a look at your printing skills."
At this point, he was a little impatient.
Li Chengqian looked at Sun Liuchuan, "Liuchuan, lead the way."
Soon...
Everyone passed through the paper making courtyard and came to the printing courtyard.
In the shed of the printing house, everyone finally saw the true face of movable type printing.
In fact, this movable type printing technique is not difficult. First, make a single-character model of Yangwen and reverse-text, and then select the individual characters according to the order of the content in the book, arrange them in the type plate, and print them with ink.
But this level of convenience is much higher than that of rubbing. Only this set of characters can print all the books.
At this moment, everyone finally understood the meaning of what Li Chengqian said, "The only way to rejuvenate the country is heavy industry", whether it is wool degreasing machines, wool spinning machines, or papermaking and printing techniques.
The shock that these things gave them was too great, too great.
Industry can improve the original work efficiency many times, and eventually this thing can be popularized in Datang.
One person owns it, and ten people own it. This is not considered ownership. Only when everyone owns a precious thing can it be regarded as a proof of the country's true development.
Civil and military officials think about how the country can use the best things to serve their upper class.
What Li Chengqian thought was how to serve all the people in Datang with the least cost. This was his original intention of developing industry.
They finally realized how short-sighted they were and how small the pattern in their hearts was.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, and said solemnly: "Chengqian, tell me, how can you hand over these industrial technologies to the court."
He had long since realized that in Li Chengqian's place, he should never think of whoring for nothing, the more he wanted to go whoring for nothing, the more he would pay, it would be better to negotiate the conditions straightforwardly.
Li Chengqian smiled heartily: "This cheap old man is really getting smarter."
He chuckled and said, "Father was joking. Is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's subject on the shore of the land? Naturally, the things of the sons and ministers are the things of the father. There is nothing to hand over. The father likes it. Just take it."
Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian, I believe you ghost, if you are so generous, then I don't want to be the emperor anymore.
"Hehe." Li Shimin said with a fake smile: "If you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded. This is my rule. I can't deprive you of your merits just because you are a prince. Say it, as long as it is not too much. I promise you everything."
As the saying goes, it is short to take people and short to eat people. Li Shimin thinks that it is better to exchange with Li Chengqian at an equal value.
Li Chengqian murmured: "Since this is the case, the emperor will reward the courtyard in Kangping, Chang'an City, to my son."
Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Kangping Courtyard? What do you want that place for? Isn't the Prince's Courtyard big enough?"
Li Chengqian responded: "The courtyard is not intended to be used for living, but I intend to open a college there."
"College?" Li Shimin was even more confused, "What kind of college do you want to open?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with firm eyes, "I want to open a school for the children of poor families."
As soon as the words fell, the faces of those family officials suddenly darkened. Li Chengqian wanted to break their educational monopoly!
Chapter 177 The academy is officially opened
Your Royal Highness, this is absolutely impossible. "
Li Chengqian's words didn't allow everyone to think, and Shangshu Youpu Shefeng Deyi couldn't wait to stand up.
He turned his head to look at Feng Deyi, with a cold light in his eyes, Feng Deyi came from a famous family, and was a veteran of the three dynasties, with high morals and high prestige.
But others don't know, but Li Chengqian knows that this guy is not a kind person.
During Li Yuan's reign, Feng Deyi was well received by Li Shimin, and offered his loyalty to Li Shimin several times.
But at the same time, he secretly supported the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan once planned to depose Li Jiancheng and make Li Shimin the crown prince, but Feng Deyi's dead remonstrance stopped it.
Therefore, Li Chengqian did not have a good impression of him.
"Hmph." Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "I would like to hear, why this matter came about is absolutely impossible."
Feng Deyi said sternly: "Your Highness, you want everyone in the world to read books and let the people know how to read and write. This is a good thing that is conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty. The old minister does not object, but if you open a college for the poor, this matter will be difficult." Absolutely impossible."
"There are no poor families in the top class, and you should pay attention to the family background. This is the rule passed down by the ancestors for hundreds of years. There are so many elites from wealthy families who don't teach, but open colleges for the poor families. Doesn't it appear that the court is deserted!"
"His Royal Highness, the ancestral system cannot be changed. To open a college for poor families is a matter of embarrassing the ancestors."
In the words, the righteousness of the family background is awe-inspiring.
It's as if all the officials in the world should be occupied by wealthy families.
"That's right, setting up a college for the poor family, isn't that letting the poor family suppress Yingjie from our aristocratic family..."
"His Royal Highness really did not consider this matter. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for the royal family to open an academy for poor families..."
"This matter has not been discussed, we must not agree to it, and we cannot allow His Highness to mess around..."
Except for the brachial minister who had a good relationship with Li Shimin on weekdays, almost all the others stood by Feng Deyi's side.
However, Li Chengqian had expected this situation a long time ago. If they didn't come out to object, then Li Chengqian would really be a little uncomfortable.
Hearing what Feng Deyi and these family officials said, Li Shimin's face suddenly became gloomy.
He understood Li Chengqian's idea, based on breaking the family's monopoly on education, in order to finally eliminate the monopoly of the rich and powerful families on officialdom.
The original intention of the imperial examination system was to be suitable for the virtuous, but the educational resources of this poor family were completely different from those of the aristocratic family.
Therefore, this officialdom is still firmly in the hands of family officials.
But after Li Chengqian opened this academy, it will be different. With the academy, the humble family will have the confidence to compete with the children of the aristocratic family.
Moreover, with papermaking and movable type printing, the replicability of this academy is too high, and it will not take long for education to be popularized in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the control of the court by the officials of the aristocratic family will be broken by itself.
And Datang can truly be held in Li Shimin's hands, such a high degree of unification is conducive to the rapid development of Datang.
The influence of the family officials in the court can be seen from their words. They said without hesitation that Li Chengqian's move was to suppress them.
Before Li Chengqian could speak, Li Shimin interjected: "Deyi, from my point of view, the prince's establishment of a college is not as serious as you said."
"The children of aristocratic families have been pampered and spoiled. There are not a few people who are idle and promiscuous. If there is really a poor family academy to restrain them, it would be a good thing."
Although Li Shimin tried to smooth things over, he also refuted Feng Deyi's face.
Feng Deyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. The old minister admits that there are some ignorant people among the children of the aristocratic family, but most of them are still very hardworking."
Li Chengqian was really ashamed when he saw Feng Deyi's serious and nonsense face.
This is so shameless.
At this moment, Wei Zheng couldn't listen any longer, and stood up and said, "Lord Feng, if the children of this family have told you, all the money-selling places in Chang'an City that are drunk with money will probably have to close their doors."
