"Liu Xiucai, can you do it quickly? If these Buddhist scriptures are not printed in the Ten Yao, I and you will have all lost the bonus this month!" In the busy printing factory, a tall middle-aged man shouted loudly, while stretching out his only one arm to direct the surroundings to speed up.

"Teacher Sun, don't urge me. Who doesn't know that our layout group is the busiest, and our group has been in a row for five hours. There is no rest time except for eating and going to the cottage. If this continues, I can't stand it anymore. You must let us go back and sleep for a while, otherwise this will be blind!" A tall and thin young man replied without raising his head, and at the same time, he quickly picked up the wooden movable type with both hands...

Liu Xiucai was not a real scholar. If he could pass the exam for the scholar, he would not have come to work in the printing workshop. However, this young man named Liu had read several books of sages and was considered knowledgeable in the entire printing factory. In addition, he looked gentle and elegant, so if he knew him, he would give him a nickname for scholar. In this printing factory, Liu Xiucai was the leader of the layout group, and he brought seven or eight literate books to be responsible for printing and layout.

"Okay, okay, you guys quickly arrange the last few remaining pieces, and I'll let you rest immediately!" The one-armed middle-aged man named Sun shouted loudly. He was the manager of this factory. He used to be a corps and lost his arm on the battlefield. He was arranged to work in the printing factory. He was originally fair and cared about his subordinates very much. He would never urge his subordinates to enter like this. However, this batch of Buddhist scriptures to be printed were pressed down by the top. If he couldn't finish printing, he would not be able to afford to be guilty.

"Tao Sun, our highness has always been very generous. This group of jobs is so tight. If we can complete them on time, will there be an additional reward?" At this moment, a worker who was putting ink on the printing plate next to him spoke. As soon as he said, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion among other people in the factory.

This is a printing factory under Li Yan's name. Sun Tou and Liu Xiucai and others are all workers in one of the factory buildings. Since the first few people received orders from the superiors to print a large number of Buddhist scriptures, the subordinates in the factory have not had a good rest. They have worked overtime, but even so, the time given by the superiors still feels tight.

Seeing that his subordinates were busy with their work because of discussing the rewards, Sun's face sank, knocked on the table beside him and shouted: "Okay, stop discussing it anymore. Jinyao I will give you a correct letter. The superior has already said that as long as this batch of Buddhist scriptures is completed on time, the bonus will double this month, which is what Your Highness personally promised!"

When the entrance to the factory heard that His Highness King Qi personally promised, everyone immediately cheered, feeling that his whole body was filled with energy. At the same time, they were thinking about how to spend the extra bonus? Should I buy a large bag of snacks for the children at home and add a few new clothes, or pull a few feet of good cloth to make a piece of clothing for my wife?

Seeing that the worker in the factory suddenly lifted Qianjin up, Sun Tou, who had one-armed, breathed a sigh of relief. As a manager, his wages were naturally much higher than those of ordinary worker. When the salary this month was paid with double salary, he would have raised enough fifty knots of money. He had a brother in the army who was raising money to buy a sea boat and could invest the money to him. As long as the other party could run safely on the sea several times, the fifty knots would be able to make a profit, and the future dividends would be all net profits.

Just as Sun Tou was happily calculating the huge profits of investing in the sea ship, he suddenly heard a voice from outside, and it was very familiar. One of them seemed to be the voice of the manager of Wang Da. The so-called manager of Wang Da is exactly what the outside world calls Wang Zihao, but in fact, Wang Zihao is not the entry into the royal palace, but a

Your business owner was only because he was trusted by Li Yan and took charge of the business of the Qi Palace. In addition, his daughter was Li Yan's harem, so he had long been regarded as the entry of the Qi Palace. Moreover, this great manager was just a respectful title. None of the other great managers in the royal palace could compare with him.

When Sun Tou heard the voice of Manager Wang Da, he naturally did not dare to neglect. He was about to go out to see him, but unexpectedly, the door of the factory was darkened, and Wang Zihao walked in with a group of people, and introduced him to the young people beside him while walking.

Seeing the young man beside Wang Zihao, Sun's head trembled immediately, and he hurriedly walked forward a few steps and said, "Sun Hong, the supervisor of the printing factory, pay homage to His Highness, King of Qi, the supervisor of Wang!"

The only one who could let Wang Zihao accompany him and introduce him personally was Li Yan. A few days ago, he proposed to Li Shimin to support Buddhism in Tubo, and then provoke foreign Buddhism to fight against local Bon religions, so as to achieve the goal of making the political situation in Tubo unstable. However, since Buddhism is to be built, Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues are naturally indispensable. The printing factory under his name is only printing a small number of Buddhist scriptures, and the others are outsourced to another printing factory.

"Mr. Sun, you don't have to be polite. I and Mr. Wang are just walking around casually!" Li Yan said with a smile. He was not idle, because he had the idea, and because he was the most prestigious in the industry and business world, he had to buy all the Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, magic tools and other things he had to prepare. And the time was very tight, so he had to come down to inspect, for fear of delaying the major event.

Li Yan walked around the factory because it was not the first time he had come here, so everyone in the industry knew that the person in front of him was His Highness King Qi. However, Li Yan did not ask them to salute him, but asked them to work quickly, and also promised on the spot that as long as they could complete the work in advance, such as one early, the bonus for this month would double, two early, and so on.

As soon as Li Yan's reward method was released, the work in the factory immediately became boiling again. Everyone was full of green eyes, and their work efficiency was improved a lot. For example, the type-based Liu Xiucai, he wanted to become Nezha with three heads and six arms in his heart. As for the rest he just mentioned to Sun Tou, he threw all the rest aside and could rest at any time, but this kind of opportunity to make money is rare. If he didn't seize it, it would be a shame for himself.

Seeing this extremely busy factory, Li Yan nodded with satisfaction. Although the bonus for work income was nothing in his opinion, it was a great encouragement for these ordinary people. However, Li Yan did not expect that it was his loss move that doubled the bonus in advance, which made the entire printing factory look crazy. There were even several incidents of work experience fainting due to lack of physical strength. In this way, the work efficiency was reduced, which was a waste of time.

"Wow~" Carriages are unloading goods into the open space. The goods are all small Buddha statues. Due to limited time and cost savings, these Buddha statues are all made of soil, and a small part is carved from wood. Of course, there are also more advanced ones, such as metal and jade, but those are very small and are not with these mud Buddha statues.

After these mud Buddha statues are transported here, a layer of cheap incense powder will be placed on the Buddha statue, and then wrapped it with straw. This is to be transported to Tubo. There are inevitably some bumps and bumps on the road. Wrapped with straw can prevent collisions.

After inspecting the printing factory, Li Yan came here to take a look and found that the progress was pretty good and should be completed before the deadline. Now he finally felt relieved and cursed Li Shimin and the ministers in his heart. He had clearly expressed that he had only made suggestions but not efforts, but in the end the preparations fell on him. Fortunately, he did not let him do the task of selecting the monk, otherwise he would have been very busy.

Speaking of choosing a high monk, it can be said that there are joys and sorrows. Taoist scholars, as the enemy of Buddhism, applaud. Once these high monks leave, the power of Buddhism will inevitably be hit. Taoism has established a Taoist academy and is integrating the power of the Taoist sect. At that time, the influence of Taoism can be enhanced while the power of Buddhism declines.

Although some Buddhists are very dissatisfied with the court's move, more people think it is a good opportunity. Tubo is a big country and the domestic Buddhist power is weak. If you can take this opportunity to defeat the local Bon religion in one fell swoop, then this is also an immeasurable merit of promoting Buddhism, so many people are willing to go.

However, Li Yan knew that it was not that easy to select a monk this time. Among these selected monks, there were some Tang Dynasty spies who had just shaved their heads to bald. These spies would go to Tubo with these monks, and at the same time they were responsible for drawing maps, inquiring about information from all parties, and assassinating important objects.

When talking about these spies, we have to mention the shadow guards around Li Shimin. When they separated from Goguryeo last time, it was the efforts of these shadow guards. It was precisely because of that incident that Li Shimin saw the important sensation of spies that he divided the shadow guards into two parts, one of which was a specialized intelligence department called the Foreign Intelligence Agency. The spies sent out this time were all from the Foreign Intelligence Agency. And as far as Li Yan knew, these foreign Intelligence Agency had a large number of income, and there were nearly 10,000 internal members alone. There was even a secret training point similar to a military academy in Chang'an. As for the specific address, even Li Yan didn't know.

Just when the Tang Dynasty was in full swing to yin Tubo, Li Yan finished the preparations that Li Shimin had handed over to him, but he began to prepare for leaving Chang'an. Bi Jing had been in Chang'an for a long time, and Silla and Baekje still needed him to preside over the treatment of Silla, especially for him to go there personally. In addition, the construction of Taiwan and the exploration of southern sea routes also needed his guidance.
