broken!Li Er's son turned out to be a hidden boss

"Uncle Shan, bring me all the people in Zhuangzi who can carve."

"it is good!"

Shan Xiongxin didn't ask any more questions, and after a while, Shan Xiongxin brought about forty craftsmen over.

"Everyone, can you read?"

"His Royal Highness is joking, we are all born in Kuhaha, how can we have the opportunity to know how to read, and it would be nice to be able to write our own name."

Said one of the older craftsmen.

"It's best to be illiterate. If you can read and write, you might not understand the work arranged for you today."

"I want you to carve something for me. Remember, there must be no mistakes."

Li Wenhao casually flipped through a book on the table and asked Shan Xiongxin to find the teacher in Zhuangzi. After he taught them how to print reverse characters on wooden blocks, he began to make the first batch of movable type. .

Forty craftsmen, each with 25 characters, within a day, a thousand engraved printing blocks were placed in front of Li Wenhao.

He picked up the completed template, put the small pieces in it, brushed ink on the paper and printed it, and a complete article came out.

Seeing his masterpiece, Li Wenhao laughed heartily.

"Don't tell anyone what happened today, or you will kill the nine clans."

"Uncle Shan, Zhuangzi is entrusted to you. I guess that in the future, someone will take the risk and even pretend to be a bandit to attack Zhuangzi. Don't be lenient and let the army in Zhuangzi take action."

"Also, you must do a good job of keeping secrets. Don't let outsiders know everything in the Zhuangzi. Especially in the recent period, you must be more careful. I am going to do something big soon."

Satisfied, Li Wenhao rushed towards Chang'an City with the first book-like stereotype.

His first target was Changsun Wuji's mansion.

He has considerations for finding Changsun Wuji first instead of Li Shimin.

Because he has two bookstores in Chang'an City, and the other one is that if this matter is in the hands of Li Wenhao, Li Shimin and his son will inevitably have other ideas. I feel that this is a cooperation, not an intentional monopoly by the royal family.

"Uncle, come quickly, I'll show you something nice."

As soon as Changsun Wuji came out and wanted to salute, he was pulled up by Li Wenhao.

"Go, uncle, to your study."

"Li Junxian, I don't want outsiders within a hundred paces, and trespassers will be killed without mercy."

After entering the study, seeing Li Wenhao's serious expression, Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his daring nephew made some trouble again?
"Look, uncle."

Under Changsun Wuji's suspicious eyes, Li Wenhao assembled the template, brushed ink on the white paper and printed it lightly, and a thousand-character essay was published.

"This is Dalang?"

Seeing the words neatly arranged on the paper, Changsun Wuji suddenly remembered what Li Wenhao had said to him.

"Printing, I call movable type."

"Look, these characters can be disassembled and assembled at will"

"With this movable type printing technology, let me see how those aristocratic families can achieve cultural monopoly?"

"This movable type printing is another way I have opened up for the poor students in this world."

"A road where everyone has books to read."

"This……"

Changsun Wuji's heart was shocked, Li Wenhao directly dug the foundation of those aristocratic families, no accident, Li Wenhao will be the target of these aristocratic families' attacks next.

Unless one person completely collapses.

"Don't talk about it, take something and follow me into the palace, this thing is too important."

Changsun Wuji didn't care what the weather was like, so he dragged Li Wenhao to the palace. He didn't even take a carriage in order to save time, and rode directly to the palace.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the east light in Chang'an City was flickering, and the lights in the palace were also lit. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were talking about their own words in the study, when the door was suddenly knocked open.

"Who……"

"You son of a bitch, won't someone report it?"

"Auxiliary machine? Why are you messing around with this kid?"

Li Shimin said displeasedly, thanks to his uncle and his son who came in, if an outsider came in, his old face didn't matter, the empress wanted face.

"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, so don't worry about it that much."

"Look, Your Majesty."

Li Wenhao painted gourds in the same way and once again demonstrated his newly developed movable type printing technique.

"According to Dalang's words, the printing plate of the thousand-character script was made by his forty craftsmen in less than a day."

"The font is still active and can be combined at will. If a character is broken, just replace it with another one."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin carefully looked at the thousand-character text printed in front of him, and took a sip of tea.

"No, I don't like drinking tea tonight, I have to drink."

"Da Lang is really my lucky star."

"Look at how arrogant those families will be in the future."

Li Shimin immediately thought of the value of this thing and said happily.

Empress Changsun was also very happy. After all, the three men in the house, one is her husband, one is her eldest son, and the other is her own brother. They can be said to be the most important people in this world. Happy, she is naturally happy too.

"You guys sit here for a meeting, and I'll cook some side dishes for you myself."

After Empress Changsun left, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's eyes fell on Li Wenhao.

"Look at me for what?"

"There's no way to go whoring for free. I'm going to sell books to make money. Why don't you give me some patent fees?"

"patent?"

Seeing the two people questioning, Li Wenhao really wanted to give himself two mouths, why would he say these words they don't understand?

This is all right, I have to explain it hard.

After explaining the meaning of the patent, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji nodded.

"Since this is the case, I will account for [-]% of the book sales. How about you and the auxiliary machine with [-]%?"

Li Shimin asked.

"It's not good, how can you be such a cheating son when I'm an old man?"

"I have tens of thousands of troops to support, and you don't pay for food, I have to pay for it myself. Now that I have finally found a profitable business, you still want to squeeze it?"

"Then how much do you want?"

"My father is [-]%, my uncle and I are each [-]%"

"How about this, Your Majesty, you will get [-]%, the crown prince will get [-]%, and I will get [-]%."

Just when Li Shimin and Li Wenhao were in a stalemate, Changsun Wuji spoke generously.

"Huh! You old man, you are very bad. You will leave this Tang Dynasty to me in the future, and now you have to settle accounts with your son because of the little money for buying books."

Li Wenhao curled his lips at Li Er, his face full of disgust.

"Is your skin itchy?"

"Okay, let's stop making trouble, Dalang, let me ask you, is selling books so profitable?"

"Books are not consumables. After a family has a book, it can be passed down as a family heirloom."

No wonder Li Shimin asked this question. In this era, the status of scholars is very high, and it is not easy for a family to have a book. Naturally, cherish it and pass it down as a family heirloom, so the consumption time of this book is also very long.

"Look, with this look, I doubt how you brought down the world in the first place."

"Did I say that I sold books to earn money from those poor people?"
