Chapter 509 Doing big things in silence

Wang Xingzhi became anxious, "Your Majesty, how can this be interference in politics? We are just cooperating with the Tianxia Rural Chamber of Commerce on commercial matters."

Ji Wujie said nothing and silently glanced at the other ministers.

Wang Xingzhi immediately understood and quickly asked the Ji Nongguan of Sinong Temple to pass several books on the art of improving the people that he copied out in the past two days to the ministers around him for circulation.

Although he and some other ministers have discussed this matter in the past two days, there are still many ministers who have never seen this book.

"The World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce is now providing the people with a variety of handy and convenient farm tools. This year, it will also provide free potato and corn seeds to the people of Donglan Country. It is most appropriate for the World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce to promote this important skill!

"

"What's more, the World Agricultural and Commercial Association has also discovered a method that can print a large number of this book in a short time. We can't be biased just because the owner behind the World Agricultural and Commercial Association is the Queen."

Wang Xingzhi remonstrated with the emperor in a sonorous and powerful manner.

Grain production is low.

How many people are left without food every year because of this?

If it is just because the World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce is founded by the Queen and the Queen cannot bring this book to the people to avoid suspicion, it will be a loss for the Donglan Kingdom and the people.

Although the imperial court could send agricultural officers to the Thirty-Six Prefectures to teach slowly.

However, the number of books is scarce, and even manual copying is a drop in the bucket.

If you want the vast majority of people to actually apply this book to farming, it will take six or seven years, and I'm afraid it won't be effective at all.

Being able to print a large number of copies of this book in a short period of time is the key to this project.

Inside the main hall.

The ministers circulated to each other the essential techniques for improving the people's health.

They were all shocked by the detailed methods and output in the book.

I didn't expect that there would be such a strange person in Donglan Country who could write such a strange book.

Everyone started to discuss it one after another.

In the end, everyone thought that this book had extraordinary significance to the Donglan Kingdom.

However, it is true that as Mr. Wang said, if this book is to be promoted, the World Agricultural and Commercial Association's method of mass printing of books is indispensable.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is just for the World Agricultural and Commercial Association to print books, and there is really no harem interference in politics.

But the emperor chose to mention this alone.

The ministers all speculated on the intention of the emperor's words.

Many smart people have thought that the emperor's move was just to silence some ministers, and to prevent anyone from making a fuss about it in the future.

However, there were many who did not understand and thought that the emperor had begun to be wary of the Tianxia Agricultural and Commercial Association behind the Queen.

Many people followed Ji Wujue's intention and finally said, "The Queen's identity should not be involved in this matter. Such wonderful agricultural books should be in the hands of the imperial court. Why must it have to be

Do you want to go to the World Rural Commerce Association?"

Wang Xingzhi snorted coldly, "To put it lightly, do you have a way to print a large number of books in a short time?"

"Sir Wang, how short a time and how much volume can we print a large number of books in this period of time? If you ask me, nine times out of ten, it's just faster to copy by hand." Master Liang, the chief censor, said.

"Manual copying? Mr. Liang, you underestimate the World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce." Wang Xingzhi handed a booklet in his hand to the official who was passing the documents. "Your Majesty, I sent someone to inquire about the World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce yesterday.

Then I learned that the World Agricultural and Commercial Association had developed a movable type printing method. An ordinary person can print seventy brochures in one day. And this workshop, with a total of one hundred workers, can print in one day.

To produce 7,000 books, that’s 210,000 copies a month, and this is just a workshop.”

What?

Can 210,000 copies be printed in one month?

All the ministers were immediately shocked by this number!

Even Lu Dingyuan, who had been standing by silently, couldn't help but look at Wang Xingzhi.

Two hundred and one thousand copies!

This girl Luoer is really a person who does big things quietly.

No matter what happens, it will be a major event that shocks the whole world!

The emergence of movable type printing may have extraordinary significance for the dissemination of knowledge books in the future.

He stroked his beard thoughtfully.

He calmly accepted the envious and jealous looks from the ministers.

There is no way, his daughter is so outstanding!

Next, there was almost no need for Wang Xingzhi to say anything else. The ministers almost unanimously supported allowing the World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce to print this book. Naturally, a detailed plan on how to cooperate with the court was still needed.

In this situation, Mr. Liang, even though he was very reluctant, could only shut his mouth and stand aside.

This queen is more powerful than he imagined.

However, the fact that the emperor was able to say in public today that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics shows that he does not love the empress as much as the rumors say.

As long as the emperor has a grudge and is defensive about the queen, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Lord Liang glanced at Prime Minister Lu standing in front.

The flickering eyes were quickly covered up.

Before leaving the court, Cao Zhongquan brought over a familiar satchel.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that this bag was exactly the same as the bag they had been carrying for the past two days.

Their bags were all sewn by their daughters. The emperor had no heirs, so where did his bags come from?

The ministers all looked at Lu Dingyuan in unison.

One by one, they started to feel sour again.

This queen is really giving credit to the Lu family.

With such a capable and favored daughter in the harem, even if Prime Minister Lu goes sideways in the future, the emperor will probably turn a blind eye.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Lu only has one son, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Otherwise, if his son has any potential, he will be really angry.

The plan to promote the art of Qi Min was quickly formulated, but what the ministers didn't expect was that the Empress also refused on the grounds that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

As a result, a group of ministers who were committed to doing a great job in agriculture scolded those ministers who had been opposed from the beginning in the court. In the end, everyone agreed to promote the art of improving the people.

The plan did not declare that the matter had nothing to do with the Queen's political affairs, so the Queen reluctantly agreed.

The agricultural officials at Sinong Temple are happy.

If this thing is done and the people's food production doubles, this will be a major event that can be recorded in history.

But before they had time to be happy, they encountered another problem.

All of them ignored the fact that most of the common people were illiterate.

You must know that reading and literacy can only be afforded by those with spare money at home.

Illiterate people were caught in large numbers.

Under such circumstances, how can this important art of improving people's health be publicized?

No matter how much you print, it is useless if no one can understand it.

And trying to solve the literacy problem of the common people is even more difficult than reaching the sky.

There are more than one problem to be solved here, and it cannot be solved overnight.

If you can't print books for large-scale publicity, you can only teach by word of mouth and example. But in this way, you won't be able to see any results for six or seven years.
