Chapter 122

After Helan Chushi left, Li Chengqian sat there and smiled, and trusted Qin Huaidao in his heart. He knew that Qin Huaidao was a steady person. He might not be able to gain Qin Huaidao's support through friendship.

Of course, Qin Huaidao will definitely help, but it depends on what kind of care it is. Qin Huaidao will definitely not take action easily when it comes to the interests of their Qin Mansion. Li Chengqian is clear about this!

Li Chengqian sat there and continued reading for a while, then returned to the room to go to bed.

"Your Highness, there is news that the Ninth Brother has been in the Qin Mansion for a long time. It is said outside that Boping is more optimistic about the Ninth Brother!" Crown Princess Su said to Li Chengqian.

"My ninth brother needs to make such a gesture now, otherwise, who would surrender to him?" Li Chengqian said and went backwards, and the Crown Princess laid on his arm.

"That's right, but Boping is still willing to use it for the ninth brother, right?" the Crown Princess continued to speak.

"If you were Boping, what would you do? Get out of here? No one knows what Boping and Ninth Brother have talked about now? Maybe nothing has been discussed!

No matter what, Bo Ping and Ninth Brother had a good relationship before. Now that Ninth Brother is out of the palace, there is no reason why Bo Ping doesn’t accept him!

As for being willing to be used, who knows whether he is really willing? There are many things, don’t look at the surface. Helan Chushi just now told Gu this, and Gu said, Gu wants to see what they do, not look at this!" The prince sat there, turned his head and said to the princess.

"That's true, but Your Highness, have you negotiated with Boping?" The Crown Princess heard Li Chengqian helping Qin Huaidao, thinking to herself that it must have been negotiated.

"It doesn't make much sense to talk or not. I don't need to make a promise, and he Boping doesn't need it!" Li Chengqian said with his eyes closed.

"Well, I understand!" The Crown Princess nodded when she heard this, and was sure that she had agreed, otherwise Li Chengqian would not have been so calm.

In the next few days, Qin Huaidao would either go to his new house to take a look, or teach those students in his study!

The weather began to get colder. Cheng Chusi, who had come to report to the printing factory, was ready and could start construction at any time. The machinery that Qin Huaidao had made was already installed. Of course, Qin Huaidao had not taken out the live lead type yet!

That morning, Qin Huaidao was still teaching students in the study, and Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin came together.

The students heard the butler's notice and went out.

After a while, the two of them arrived at Qin Huaidao's study.

"Boping! You are so idle!" Cheng Chusi walked over and said with a smile.

"Well, you are not busy either. Come and sit down!" Qin Huaidao greeted them with a smile.

"Who said we were not busy? We both had to go to the East Palace to work, but also to the paper mill and the printing factory. In the past two days, King Wei has always looked for us and said, "What is the best construction of the printing factory? We block us every day!"

This morning was the same. I was so angry that I told him, this matter depends on your attitude!" Cheng Chusi sat down and said to Qin Huaidao.

"I have sent the ink memorial. I guess His Majesty has seen it, but His Majesty has no instructions, so it will be difficult for me to do it. In fact, it can start construction now!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi and the others,

The two of them heard it and looked at Qin Huai with some ignorance. Since the ink is ready, we will start printing. What are you waiting for?

"Ink? What are the instructions?" Yuchi Baolin looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"The ink must be kept confidential. The key to printing is to add it to the ink. So, I don't plan to hand it over to the King of Wei. I can hand it over to His Majesty. His Majesty appointed someone to do it, but I'm not relieved!" Qin Huaidao sat there, looking at Yuchi Baolin and said.

"You, that's what you wrote in the memorial?" Yuchi Baolin looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and asked.

"How is it possible? I'm not stupid. I mean, ink is very important and needs to be built separately to produce it. It needs to be kept confidential. If ink cannot be kept confidential, then printing technology will be difficult to control!" Qin Huaidao said to Yuchi Baolin.

Yuchi Baolin heard this and nodded.

"Then Your Majesty hasn't submitted the report yet?" Cheng Chusi asked at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao shook his head.

At this moment, at the Ganlu Palace, the King of Wei was telling Li Shimin that Qin Huaidao was passive in treating the printing factory.

"Father, Qin Huaidao told me before that the printing factory is ready and he can start printing at any time, but several days have passed and there is still no movement. This minister doesn't understand?

The son-in-law knew that Qin Huaidao had an objection to the son-in-law, and we had some minor misunderstandings, but this was related to scholars all over the world. Qin Huaidao was still so negative, which was very inappropriate!" Li Tai sat on the pier and said to Li Shimin.

Next to him were the crown prince Li Chengqian, Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji, Dali Minister Wei Cong, Minister of Personnel Li Daozong, Minister of Personnel Xu Shiji, Minister of War, and Minister of Ma Zhou.

"I have told you that everything about the printing factory is something that is followed by Boping. What do you urge? Printing is so easy to solve? If it is easy to solve, it will take until now. When Boping says it will start, it will start when!" Li Shimin stared at Li Tai and said.

Li Shimin was dissatisfied with his story about Qin Huaidao here. After only a few days of work, he began to say that Qin Huaidao was not good, so how could he manage the printing factory in the future?

"Yes, my son is also anxious!" Li Tai heard Li Shimin say this and quickly admitted his mistake.

"I have to divide the place even if I am anxious. Such a matter cannot be solved by being anxious!" Li Shimin finished speaking to Li Tai, and looked at Dali Qing Wei Cong: "Have you handled the matter of death row prisoner?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I'll handle it and compensate each of the death row prisoners with 10 guan. The family members have no objection. Originally, these people needed to be executed by Qiu Hou, but they were asked to die first!" Wei Cong stood up and bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Just handle it, after all, there is no time left, so let them die!" Li Shimin nodded and said, then looking at Li Daozong, "Are you ready for Princess Wencheng? Are all the dowry items ready?"

"Your Majesty, you have basically prepared all the scriptures and copied them. However, in Tubo, I hope we can get 500,000 pieces of paper, but this minister cannot agree! After all, the papers in my Tang Dynasty are also very in short supply now!

I also ask the servants to queue up to buy them from time to time. Now the paper is cheaper, and the children at home have started to write with paper, and the amount is even greater!" King Jiang Xia stood there, bowing to Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin pressed his hand and signaled him to sit down.

"Well, paper is not good. In a few years, the Tang Dynasty is not enough now. The papers ordered by our court have not been handed over yet!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin is not stupid to give them papers. Qin Huaidao had reminded him before.

"Your Majesty, my son thinks that even if you can't give 500,000 copies, it's okay to give 100,000 copies!" Li Tai stood up at this moment and bowed to Li Shimin.

"The papers in our dynasty are not enough, how can we give them to Tubo?" Li Shimin said to Li Tai unhappily.

If Qin Huaidao hadn't reminded him, Li Tai would have sold the Tang Dynasty to the sky.

"This!" Li Tai was puzzled. What's the point of giving paper? One hundred thousand pieces of paper can be produced in less than half a day!

"Your Majesty, according to me, this paper matter still needs to be considered!" Changsun Wuji also touched his beard and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin just looked at him.

"After all, they admire the culture of our dynasty, and we gave them so many Buddhist scriptures, so they also need to copy them. Besides, there are not many 100,000 sheets of paper, so you can give them!" Changsun Wuji suggested to Li Shimin.

"Well, I'll consider it. Now there are a lot of paper needed everywhere. I also want to open a tribute this winter. I hope to select more knowledgeable people for the court and enrich the officials of the court!" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said,

When Changsun Wuji heard this, his heart was shocked. This was the first time that Li Shimin talked about Kaienke in front of so many people.

"Your Majesty, there is too little time to get a tribute? Now many poor families have just obtained books and have no time to read them. I'm afraid it's difficult to get qualified scholars!" Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"It's okay, take one, calculate one. If you can read books in a short time, then this person is also a talent. I will hold another enrollment next year!" Li Shimin said indifferently.

Changsun Wuji heard this, nodded, and then wanted to see Li Chengqian.

But Li Chengqian sat there, like an old monk entering into meditation, and said nothing, which made Changsun Wuji helpless.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Li Shimin sat there and continued to ask.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Ma Zhou, a member of the Secretariat, stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.

Ma Zhou is a man who is good at criticizing the past and present, and is very good at writing articles. Li Shimin has already promoted him as the Zhongshu Sheren, and this position is very important. Zhongshu Sheren is all candidates for the position of several Shangshus in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Well, tell me!" Li Shimin nodded and looked at Ma Zhou.

"Return to Your Majesty, three days ago, Duke Hu Qin Huaidao wrote a memorial and sent it to His Majesty's case. But it has not been approved yet. I would like to ask when will it be approved? In addition, I have attached opinions to several other ministers of the Secretariat. I wonder what your Majesty has made!" Ma Zhou stood there, looking at Li Shimin and asked.

"Oh, I have forgotten this matter, Gao Ming, you can deal with this matter!" Li Shimin laughed at him, and then said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, Father!" Li Chengqian stood up and bowed.
