"The Holy Emperor has an edict: King Li Zhen of Han is loyal to the country, diligent and pure, and he will be rewarded with a handle of jade, three pieces of silk, two pieces of silk, and satin... Li Zhen is responsible for in charge of printing affairs, coordinating various ministries and departments, and striving for perfection...
Two thousand volumes each of "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", and "Shangshu" will be printed first, and they must be completed before August 15th. I hereby express my gratitude!"
What? Instead of making a board, you are giving sweets. Uh-huh, what kind of drama is the old man singing? Haha, two thousand copies, what can be done with such a quantity? It’s not enough for the local consumption in Chang’an. What kind of airplanes are there!
Li Zhen knelt on the ground, and the more she listened, the more confused she became - supposedly the reward from the old man was a good thing, but the strange thing is that the total value of the few prints was less than half of the reward given by the old man, even Li Zhen
Although he was very clever, he didn't understand what the old man was trying to do. After the edict was announced, Li Zhen was still kneeling there in a daze, forgetting to thank her.
"Your Highness, King of Han, Your Highness." Gao Yao, the eunuch who came to announce the decree, saw that Li Zhen had not made any movement, and hurriedly reminded her a few words in a low voice, finally waking Li Zhen out of her reverie.
"I accept the edict and thank you. Long live our emperor, long live, long live!" Li Zhen hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, took the imperial edict in Gao Yao's hand with both hands, and waved with a smile to Liu Dequan, who had been waiting for a long time.
He called him to his side and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Liu will go back and take my handwriting to "Yanji Trading Company" to deliver the newly made complete sets of furniture to Eunuch Gao so that Eunuch Gao can try it out."
Everyone was a sensible person, so they naturally understood what Li Zhen meant. Liu Dequan just nodded, without any special expression, but Gao Yao was so happy that he said, without any other reason, Li Zhen’s new furniture is now in high demand.
Goods, a complete set of furniture can cost dozens of guang, but it is impossible to get it. Gao Yao naturally has no need for such luxurious furniture, but if it changes hands casually, the people who are rushing to get it will be gone. This is terrible
It was a heavy gift. Although Gao Yao often received reward money on weekdays, he had never received such a big gift at once. It was natural to be overjoyed, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said.
: "Your Highness, King of Han, what are you doing..., well, how can I ask this old slave to bear this?"
Hey, you old thing, you are already used to taking money, and you are still pretending to be embarrassed. Li Zhen despised Gao Yao in her heart, but she said in her mouth: "It doesn't matter, Eunuch Gao is well-informed.
, I have a high vision, and I hope Mr. Gao will give me some advice on the new products under Xiao Wang’s brand after using them. Isn’t it easy for Xiao Wang to improve them? Hehe, it’s a big help to Xiao Wang that Mr. Gao is willing to try them out.”
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." Gao Yao immediately got off the slope and smiled so much that his old face was covered with chrysanthemums: "The prince's business is my slave's business. If I can help the prince, I will never give up.
Ha ha……"
Well, you have also taken the old money, so the matter should be done, right? Li Zhen laughed a few times, then lowered his voice and asked: "Eunuch Gao, this imperial edict..." Gao Yao looked around the formation.
He lowered his body, put his mouth to Li Zhen's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, we haven't finished the rule of law yet. These three books are just like this. You'd better hurry up and don't delay.
It will be difficult to explain to the Holy Spirit if you don’t turn around."
Nonsense, we are too lazy to get involved in the matter of governing the code. Damn it, this damn eunuch really thought I was going to fight over the matter of printing books. Well, the editor-in-chief hasn’t been decided yet, haha.
It seemed that the court was going to be lively for a while. Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, that's it. Thank you Eunuch Gao for the tip. Xiao Wang can only print books, what else?
I don’t even understand, haha, see you later, Eunuch Gao is leaving well.”
Gao Yao had received great benefits and returned home satisfied, but Li Zhen was a little worried. It was not because of the small print run. In fact, as long as the imperial court was willing to come forward, even if it was just one copy, it would be a big deal for him.
For Li Zhen, it is a victory - this is a matter of justice. Since the court has taken action, it means that the old man has approved the printing factory. In this way, Li Zhen can be more bold in doing business - help
In fact, printing books for the imperial court did not make much money, and Li Zhen did not expect to make a living by working for the imperial court. There were many ways to make money, not just Confucianism, printing Buddhist scriptures, and writing articles by contemporary people, etc.
It's the big head. The real headache for Li Zhen at the moment is actually the matter of administering the law.
In fact, Li Zhen didn’t want to care about nonsense like whether the canon should be cured or not, and who should be the editor-in-chief. Especially now that the old man’s imperial edict had been obtained, Li Zhen didn’t want to have anything to do with the canon.
It's just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. In the end, I'm afraid it won't be up to Li Zhen. Who made Li Zhen so popular today? It's all Li Zhen's fault. Now, Li Zhen
Zhen had no choice but to take it one step at a time. No, as soon as she received the imperial edict, Li Zhen didn't even have time to take a breath. As soon as Gao Yao was sent away, she immediately led the people straight to "Yanji Commercial House".
They summoned a group of backbones to discuss countermeasures and arrange various preparatory tasks. They were so busy that they were dizzy. Fortunately, everyone at "Yanji Trading Company" had prepared a large number of necessities in advance. After a long afternoon of busy work, they finally completed all the necessary tasks.
Things were somewhat arranged, but it was already dark.
"Your Highness, you are back. The King of Yue, the King of Shu, the King of Liang, the King of Qi, and the King of Jiang have all sent people and left messages." Li Zheng just returned to Min'an Palace, and before he could sit down, the palace maid Ling Dang stood next to him.
He hurriedly came up with a stack of invitations. Damn, these idiots have very good noses. How long did it take before they all jumped out? Damn it! Li Zhen knew what he was doing today.
His performance was bound to attract the attention of the brothers, but he didn't expect that only half a day later, a group of brothers came to the door, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly - what was the idea that those brothers had in mind? Li Zhen used her toes
He could think of it all in his head. There were so many things going on at the moment. How could Li Zhen have any intention of messing around with those gangsters trying to seize the rightful heirs? She casually took the stack of invitations, not even bothering to take a look at them, and pondered for a moment.
He said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll ask Li Dequan to send people to each government later and tell him that I have a lot of things to do and can't spare any time at the moment. I'll just ask you back when I have time some other time."
"But..." Lingdang obviously refused to give up and tried to say something else. "Yeah." Li Zhen was already tired and panicked. She had no time to explain to a palace maid. She lowered her face and waved her hand, "No need."
Tell me more, I have my own opinion, please bring me your dinner."
"Yes, Your Highness." The corners of Lingdang's mouth twitched for a while, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to contradict Li Zhen. He lowered his head and said yes, and exited the room. However, when his back was turned to Li Zhen, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed.
