Li Shen was very satisfied with everyone's praise, and his heart was greatly sublimated.

"Okay! Since everyone agrees, let's sign the contract now. At present, we have only found seven or eight places in the northwest that are suitable for building cement plants.

But don’t worry, everyone. There should be some of you from Henan Province. I will let people find a place to build in your hometown.

At that time, your cement can be used to build cement roads in Goguryeo.

This king will not interfere with your management. You can sell it to whomever you want, even if it is to a noble family.

You have the final say on the price, I only want 50% profit.

But there is one thing, you cannot sell cement to other countries. As we said earlier, if I, the king, find out that you sold cement to other countries,

Then don't blame me for being rude, think about it if you have this life flower.

As for the recipe, I hope you won’t spread it to anyone else, and don’t let the small things make the big mistakes. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, Wang Hongfu took out all the contracts that had been prepared and gave each person one copy.

What is left is that Wang Hongfu is responsible for discussing specific matters with them, who is in which state and county, and when to start construction.

The negotiation was quickly completed, and Wang Hongfu signed a contract with them as the spokesperson of Prince Ji's Mansion.

The wine and food were also prepared, and Li Shen said a few words briefly before letting everyone enjoy it together.

After three drinks and five dishes, Li Shen put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass.

"Ahem~ Come on, let's have a drink for our happy cooperation." Li Shen said and drank it all in one gulp.

Others followed and drank from the glasses.

Li Shen put down his glass and continued:

"Since we are all in a cooperative relationship, I will say it bluntly. I hope you will recruit more people from poor areas when selecting craftsmen.

The places we choose to build factories are all areas with poor soil and cannot grow much food.

The people there are poor. I chose to take out the formula and build a factory. In fact, I also want those poor people to make more money.

Change their lives. Although we are businessmen, they all say that we businessmen are only interested in profit, but I don’t think so.

We want to show them that businessmen are not unkind because of their wealth. We also have a conscience and do what we can for the people of Tang Dynasty. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, others nodded in agreement. They often built bridges and roads in their hometowns, and some even built colleges like Li Shen.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, we will always follow Your Majesty’s example and comply with the management of Prince Ji’s Mansion.

According to what the prince said, young men from poor families were recruited to work and paid normal wages. "

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

"Okay, then I am here to thank you all on behalf of the people in the northwest." Li Shen stood up and picked up another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Li Shen is a good person. Although he is at the top of the pyramid, Li Shen still wants to make this society better.

If Li Shen was also a poor person, he would never give food to others, but now he has the strength.

He just wanted to do something for the people at the bottom, even a little bit.

After the negotiation ended, Li Shen took Wang Hongfu back to the palace.

Everything was going on in full swing. Wang Hongfu came to report that more than 26,000 young people were registered in Nancheng.

And hundreds to thousands of people arrive every day, and the more people come, the more people come.

Li Shen immediately ordered the implementation of his previous plan, with fifty bodyguards and cavalry escorting a team of 1,000 people to Chiling.

Each team does not leave empty-handed. They are responsible for escorting supplies, including tools for laying foundations, tools for building city walls, etc.

Each team should bring a little so that they have something to do.

Each team followed the person in charge of Prince Ji's Mansion over there. These people were Li Shen's residents and they were all educated.

The supplies had already been prepared, and operations started on the same day as Li Shen ordered, with each team setting off two hours apart.

Three thousand people left on the first day.

Li Shen's purpose was not to let these people gather together to avoid causing trouble.

The entire city of Chang'an is paying attention to Prince Ji's Mansion because there is too much movement in Prince Ji's Mansion.

Li Shen is the only one who doesn't know it yet and still goes his own way.

"Your Majesty, Wang Changshi wants to see you." Shitou ran into Li Shen's study.

Li Shen is currently cultivating his sentiments and practicing calligraphy.

"Let him in." Li Shen put down his pen.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Well, come to Xuance, let's see if my handwriting is very good." Li Shen picked up the small regular script he wrote and showed it to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance took one look and immediately looked away. He felt a little dizzy, but he still praised:

"The prince's calligraphy has improved again, and now it has reached the state of transformation. After many years, the prince's calligraphy will definitely become a genre of its own and open up a new line."

"Hahahaha, Xuance, you still have vision. They don't understand me. I give you this calligraphy. You must keep it well." Li Shen was very happy.

Finally someone understood him.

"By the way, Xuance, do you have something to do with me?" Li Shen asked.

"Back to the prince, news has come from the printing factory. The dictionary that the prince asked to be printed has been printed.

According to the prince's request, the first page was written by Kong Yingda and other writers.

The three characters "Kong Yingda" are the biggest. Wang Xuance replied.

"Well, very good, you immediately send someone to send all these dictionaries to the Imperial College, and say that these dictionaries were printed by me for free for Master Kong.

Just let Mr. Kong handle it by himself. If you need to transport it, we can also handle it for free. But remember, we do this for Master Kong for free. "

Li Shen ordered that he could not get involved in this matter anyway. If the dictionary was used properly, it would be more powerful than the reform of the imperial examination.

Li Shen doesn't like to appear in public, he just likes to make plans behind the scenes and enjoy the fruits of victory.

Those who play the king are the ones who choose the mage, never in the front.

Wang Xuance immediately understood what Li Shen meant and took the order to do the work.

But before leaving, he was stopped by Li Shen.

"What other instructions does the prince have?" Wang Xuance asked.

"Look at your memory. You haven't taken away my king's writing yet? You must keep it well, you know? It's very valuable."

Li Shen blamed.

Wang Xuance picked up the paper on the table, turned around and left silently. When he went back, he would find a craftsman to frame it.

No matter what, these are words rewarded by a prince. Just like an imperial edict, it is useless after reading it, but you still have to offer it.

After Wang Xuance returned, he did not transport all the dictionaries to the Imperial College. Li Shen originally ordered one million copies to be printed.

Li Shen built a total of more than 600 colleges. One college has 1,000 people, which is 600,000 people.

Wang Xuance sent 700,000 books to the Imperial College, including some official books.

When Kong Yingda, the wine minister of the Imperial College, smiled when he saw the mountain of dictionaries in the warehouse, and when he saw his own fictional characters written on the first page, he was even more happy and excited.

As long as this dictionary can be popularized, Kong Yingda, like his ancestors, will be remembered for generations to come.
