Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Tell me as soon as you hear the news."

"Yes." Tian Meng immediately bowed and saluted.

"By the way, let Zhang Xi's people keep an eye on the inside of Chang'an City. Every day when posting small-character posters, see if there are people with ulterior motives asking around, and remember these people."

"Yes!"

"Also, tell those scholars, just tell them that the current situation in the court is like this, but this is not the end, this is just the beginning of the war! An invisible war has begun! This is a struggle between us and them The pens in their hands are the most powerful weapons, and my highness is injured, so I can't control this matter for the time being, so it's up to them!" Li Ke said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."

Li Ke's order quickly spread to every corner of Chang'an City, and the local snakes all over Chang'an immediately dispatched and quickly posted the prepared things in every corner.

In fact, many people were waiting today, but it was not so early today, and as soon as the small-character posters were posted, many people gathered around.

"Is it Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng?"

"Yes, yes, here we are, let's see what the boss said today."

……

"I won't tell the story today. After analyzing the situation in the imperial court, I feel that there is a high probability that the Datang Weekly will be nationalized. Most of the civil servants in the court have shadows of powerful families behind them. It is impossible for them to allow this kind of thing that speaks for the people. Come out, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu should not be a good stubble, and he will probably get some things back."

"The most important thing is that the emergence of the Datang Weekly and the fact that His Royal Highness the King of Shu started selling cheap paper on a large scale yesterday means that the technology of papermaking has made greater progress. The many poor students of Datang are blessed. More cheap books for ordinary people to read."

"On this point, many ordinary scholars like me should thank His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Maybe the imperial court will open up the imperial examination restrictions a little bit, and we children from poor families can also participate in the imperial examination!"

Today's content is very short, but it has caused quite a stir, because many ordinary literati already know that such a small place can see many novel viewpoints, and can also communicate anonymously with other people in different ways, Feel free to express your views here.

And there are many people around who can understand it.

As Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng was the first to appear, everyone was eager to watch it, and today's content can be said to have instantly opened the eyes of many people!

"Mr. Lan Ling's analysis is really thorough. I didn't expect him to be an ordinary student like us."

"Actually, there are many strange people in the folk, and there are also powerful people. Look at Han Xin, isn't he just an ordinary person?"

"Yes, Mr. Lanling is right, we should thank His Highness King Shu."

"It's a pity that Datang Weekly was taken back by these people."

"Shh, be careful! Of course they want to control their own power!"

……

After the court was lowered, what happened above the court quickly spread throughout Chang'an City. Even if someone wanted to conceal it, how could Li Ke let the news be concealed.

What Li Ke said in the court hall was spread throughout the entire city of Chang'an verbatim.

"Sure enough! I didn't expect His Majesty the King of Shu to be punished by His Majesty because of this! But His Royal Highness Shu's poems are really good! You must be happy when you are happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon! I am born to be useful, Come back after all the money is gone, Mo Chou has no confidant in the future, no one in the world does not know the king. Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through."

"That's right! This is written with a lot of pride! I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Shu to be so talented!"

"Happy! So happy! His Royal Highness the King of Shu scolded the government and the public! These people should be like this, and they are plausible when they rob other people's things."

"His Royal Highness King Shu's cursed poems are too vivid! Their faces are really ugly!"

"I don't know how Mr. Lanling will comment tomorrow."

"How can I comment? It must be a little more subtle. Otherwise, if you are caught, it will be troublesome. Wouldn't it be good if you didn't see the final result of His Highness the King of Shu?"

The ever-procrastinating Tang court handed over the relevant information of the Datang Weekly to Li Ke with unprecedented efficiency. In fact, there is nothing to hand over. After the paper and printing are solved, the newspaper has no technical content. The ancients can see it at a glance clear.

It's just that what Li Ke didn't expect was that at the same time as the handover, there was an imperial decree from Li Shimin, strictly prohibiting Li Ke from tossing about Datang Daily, Datang Monthly and the like.

Seeing this edict, Li Ke felt a little emotional, who said the ancients didn't understand?Isn't this very good at drawing inferences from one instance?The ancients knew how to play this kind of small trick, they were only limited by their vision. Behind the imperial decree must be the result of mutual compromise between Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others.

As for the fact that Datang Weekly will no longer use Li Ke's printing factory in the future, he doesn't care. Originally, printing technology had already taken shape at this time. The ancients really didn't understand anything and couldn't see through these things.

But now that Li Ke has made it out, there is no need to cover it up.

It took nearly 400 years to improve from woodblock printing to movable type printing in history. Is it because the technical difficulty is really so high?

No, the main reason is that there are enough craftsmen but not so many printed materials. Aristocratic families control the printing technology. At most, it is for internal circulation or printing for the royal family, and the demand is small.Engraving is less difficult and more usable, enough.

Second, there is no motivation, so why improve these?Not to mention that there are no rewards, and it will be controlled by others. Of course, no one will improve it. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the reform of the imperial examination, the gradual expansion of the number of poor families, and the increasing number of printing, the movable type naturally came into being.

Now the printing technique developed by Li Ke is a combination of both. Movable type printing is used to play newspapers and the like, and the content needs to be changed frequently, while engraving printing is used to print books, and the content will not change. After engraving a board, it can often be used. .

After the imperial court handed over the Datang Weekly, Changsun Wuji had already contacted the Zheng family in Xingyang immediately.

"How low can your printing cost be?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"15 essays is already the limit."

"Paper costs 2 coins, printing can only charge 3 coins, so a newspaper loses 12 coins." Changsun Wuji said.

"Don't worry, my lord, money is not a problem. It's only less than 5 guan a year. I have already rewarded these craftsmen to improve printing technology, and I believe the cost will drop in the future." The person in charge of Xingyang Zheng's is a middle-aged man, Zheng Qiang, although he is not the head of the family, he can represent the head of the family.

"I'm not worried about this, but if the sales of the newspaper increase, can you bear it?" Changsun Wuji glanced at the other party and said.

Zheng Qiang laughed when he heard this, and he said, "Before I came, the Patriarch explained it to me. Don't worry, we will bear all the losses."

"Well, there is one more point. If the printing is to be accelerated in the early stage, can the finished product be produced within a few days at the shortest?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"If the content is ready, it will take three days." Zheng Qiang thought for a while and said, "We can continue to expand the scale."

"Expand, the king of Shu won't give up so easily." Changsun Wuji waved his hand very simply and said, "We don't wait seven days, we will release one issue within three days, and the reason is to change the printing after the imperial court operation. In the first issue of the newspaper, we want to praise the King of Shu."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sneered, they just didn't have these methods before, but when it comes to playing tricks on people's hearts, building up momentum with public opinion, and talking with swords, His Royal Highness, you are still a little tender.Didn't history teach you?The allusions of buying bones with a thousand dollars, and Tumu Lixin all use these methods.
