Xu Yanbo always thought that he was brilliant, and often crushed Cheng Zheng.

"how?"

Cheng Zheng asked him.

Xu Yanbo shook his head, "Just two poems to encourage learning, this kind of talent... it should be a gift from heaven."

Cheng Zheng joked: "This is brilliant."

"what is that?"

Xu Yanbo pointed to the table.

Xu Xiaoyu had already lined up and got up to ask for instructions.

Jia Pingan said to Li Ji: "Those people clamored that the textbooks could not be prepared, and the cost was too high. I went home and thought about it, and found it simple, so I will verify it today."

Simple?

A group of bigwigs couldn't help but smile wryly.

We racked our brains in the courtroom and didn't think of a solution, yet you said it was simple.

Lu Shunyi chuckled and said, "This old man will wait and see."

Jia Pingan nodded, Xu Xiaoyu took a small cloth bag, opened a porcelain bottle, and dumped the contents on the small cloth bag.

"Is it ink?"

Xu Jingzong asked.

"Yes, it's ink."

Jia Ping folded his arms with both hands, looking calm.

Xu Xiaoyu patted the words several times with a cloth, then picked up a piece of paper to cover it, and brushed it back and forth with a brush...

Later he uncovered the paper. Get up and slowly turn the side with the writing facing the outside.

"This is……"

"It's the poem encouraging students from Juncai Jia just now."

A group of people were stunned.

Li Ji looked at those words, and suddenly trembled, as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, "Xiao Jia!"

Jia Ping turned around and smiled, "British Duke."

Li Ji tremblingly said: "Those words...those words... can be changed?"

People say that those who keep quiet are the smartest. Li Ji usually doesn't like to talk, but at this moment he is the first to wake up.

Jia Pingan nodded.

Ren Yaxiang closed his eyes, carefully recalling Xu Xiaoyu's previous actions.

Arrange the words one by one in order...

These words are one by one.

Can be replaced, can be increased or decreased.

He opened his eyes, and there was a look of shock in his eyes, "Every word can be changed, so the arrangement can be increased or decreased at any time... Even an article written on the spot can be printed out..."

"What a fantastic idea!"

Even Li Yifu was stunned.

"How long will these words last? How much will it cost?"

Li Ji's question hit the nail on the head.

I said it's too cheap, will it give you a cerebral hemorrhage?

Jia Pingan said: "It's cheap...it's unbelievable, and it doesn't hurt to replace it."

He didn't want to tell the cost, but his attitude told everyone.

"A set of cheap characters... If one is broken, replace another one. The only thing it costs to print like this is ink. How much is the ink worth? So... so..."

Everyone looked at Jia Ping'an with horror.

Li Ji couldn't help but want to slap Jia Ping'an, "When state and county officials pass the exams, they mostly focus on culture and education, and promoting education is political achievement. But how to promote education? People can't afford books, can't read books..."

"Books are too expensive."

Xu Jingzong couldn't help sighing, "The common people are worried about the high cost of studying."

But from then on, the common people could read books.

Jia Pingan casually picked up a movable type, "This is called movable type printing. The movable type can be fired with clay, or wooden, copper, tin movable type, lead movable type... Once the engraving block printing is broken, it can only be used to print the whole thing." The editions are all discarded. But movable type is different, and if it is broken, it will be replaced, which is simple and cheap.”

Wang Kuan couldn't help but said: "The old engraving master also knows, for example, if you print a book, after the engraving is finished, even if you only print ten copies, then the set of engraving blocks will be useless. But movable type is different, take out movable type and reprint it. Other books can be printed by arranging, this..."

Shocked in Wang Kuan's gaze, he cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Mr. Jia's actions will be of great merit."

Everyone bowed their hands silently.

Jia Pingan nodded, "It's just a random idea, it doesn't need to be like this."

Get away now!

Jia Pingan felt that if he didn't slip away, he would be surrounded by the students.

"Jia has something else to do, that little fish,

He gave all the movable type to the Imperial College. "

This atmosphere is awe-inspiring!

Jia Pingan got on his horse and left.

Someone asked: "Then what should I wait for?"

Shouldn't it be for us?

Han Wei lowered his voice, "Such methods can be learned as long as they are developed."

Mr. Jia is slapping his face!

"Mr. Jia repays grievances with virtue, with great generosity."

yes!

Jia Ping'an was besieged by the Imperial College, but in the end he didn't care about it, and instead gave him a set of movable type.

Wang Sheng stepped forward quietly, and said in a low voice, "Sacrifice wine should not increase other people's prestige."

Wang Kuan turned around, with dissatisfaction in his eyes for the first time, "The conflict between the old man and Jia Ping'an is about orthodoxies. Guozijian teaches Confucianism, and the old man is also a disciple of Confucianism. It doesn't matter if there is blood in the orthodox dispute. But Jia Ping'an invented movable type." Printing, books will be cheaper from now on... This is a cultural and educational event, and it is a sharp tool to educate the world. At this moment, the old man is willing to lead his horse and shoes for him..."

...

Li Hong felt that since his younger sister was born, his status seemed to be lower, like now, he was standing in front of A Niang, but A Niang only had her younger sister in her eyes.

"Peace."

Wu Mei teased the child with a smile.

The child babbled in response.

"Auntie."

"Auntie!"

Wu Mei raised her head, "Goro!"

"That's right!" Li Hong said with a bitter face, "Aniang, I'm an alchemist after all, so I want to go and have a look."

"What are you watching? Watching a fight?"

Wu Mei said angrily: "All the prime ministers have gone, what are you going to do?"

Li Hong felt itchy, "They said that the Imperial College was here to gloat and want to see uncle's jokes. A Niang, are books really expensive?"

Wu Mei nodded, "Of course it's expensive, so having a collection of books at home is the foundation of success, and without books at home, there is no heritage."

Books are the most worthwhile investment these days.

Li Hong sighed: "Why don't you find someone to copy it."

"Don't worry about it."

Wu Mei also had a headache.

The news she received was that the school in Chang'an was fine, and the household department could handle it. But what Dou Dexuan is worried about is that the education of the entire Tang Dynasty will cost too much once it is rolled out, and the textbooks are helpless.

With the scale of more than ten thousand people in Chang'an, how big is the world? Hundreds of thousands of people have to have it, right?

Thinking about hundreds of thousands of textbooks makes people collapse.

"Aniang, how about... I have some money over there, or donate it."

This child!

Seeing his sincerity, Wu Mei smiled and said, "Where did it get to this point?"

"Aniang, last time you said that Aye has a lot of money..."

yes!

The emperor has a lot of money, what can I do with it?

Save the rewards for those women, especially those two shameless sluts of the Wu family!

It's time to get it out!

Shaopeng added in a low voice: "Queen, Mrs. Jia once said... a man becomes bad when he has money."

These words... are really incisive!

Li Zhi, who was dealing with political affairs, suddenly shuddered.

"His Majesty!"

A servant came in, "Prince Teng was entrusted by Duke Jia to offer some treasure."

Li Zhi was taken aback, "How did he learn these ways of flattering?"

The so-called way of flattery is that Li Yi's mansion is flattering, offering some treasures every now and then, in order to gain the king's favor.

This is what the courtier did. When did Jia Pingan change?

Li Zhi shook his head, "Look."

Li Yuanying is here.

A servant behind him was carrying a large wooden box with great difficulty, sweating profusely.

"Ahem!"

Seeing this Uncle Wang, Li Zhi couldn't help thinking of another Uncle Wang, Li Boyi.

"What baby?"

Li Yuanying is now in charge of the smuggling business and can be regarded as the emperor's confidant.

"Your Majesty, this is a priceless treasure!"

Li Yuanying looked solemn, and then opened the wooden box, took out the plate, arranged the movable type...the printing started.

Li Zhi was careless at first, but gradually became confused.

"The words are used one by one."

The biggest disadvantage of woodblock printing is that if one part is damaged, all the boards have to be replaced. The bigger disadvantage is that only one book can be printed in one edition, and all the boards are discarded except for this book.

"type……"

Li Zhi suddenly got up and walked over.

"Get out of the way!"

On weekdays, the gentle and gentle emperor would lick him as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Li Yuanying is not that kind of thin and weak person nowadays, he has already gained weight at an early age, so Li Zhi's pulling is useless, and he doesn't even move.

but……

Just like when a Shangguan tells a joke, you have to laugh, and when the emperor paws you, you have to respond.

Li Yuanying took advantage of the trend and rolled, rolled again, and kept rolling...

Wang Zhongliang was dumbfounded.

You don't move when His Majesty is pulling, but you roll on the ground when His Majesty lets go, can you be more fake?

But His Majesty seems very happy!

Li Zhi looked at his hand, was confused for a moment, and was immediately overwhelmed by great surprise.

"It's movable type!"

He took out a movable type from the wooden box and looked at it carefully.

"This is wooden movable type."

"Print an article and then get it back and rearrange it for another article... Wonderful!"

Li Zhi simply tested it himself.

But he is not a skilled worker, and typographical errors occur from time to time.

Li Yuanying had already got up, patted his buttocks and came over, "Your Majesty, come here."

Li Zhi shook his head, "I'll try it myself."

After finishing the arrangement, brush the ink, load the paper, and then brush...

What was printed on the paper was the poem that the emperor had just composed.

Li Zhi's body shook, his face was burning red.

"From ancient times to the present, what emperors want most is to educate the world, but the price of enlightening the world is so high, the common people can't afford books, and a wealthy family can break the family by supporting a few children to study... But with such movable type, books The price will plummet, and I seem to see children reading aloud in thousands of households..."

"His Majesty."

When Wu Mei heard about what treasure Adi Jin had offered, she couldn't help muttering in her heart...why didn't she give it to me?

"Mei Niang!"

Li Zhi's complexion seemed to be ill, Wu Mei hurried in, "But is it ill?"

Li Zhi shook his head, "Come and see."

The second time the emperor played with movable type printing, Wu Mei was dumbfounded.

"How could it be like this?"

Li Zhi nodded, "This is not a treasure, but a priceless treasure. Meiniang, with such a priceless treasure, it is possible to educate the world. I have never been so full of ambition!"

Holding Wu Mei's hand, he only felt that his eyes were bright.

Wu Mei said happily: "The common people can read, Your Majesty, the common people can read, what about those gentry? They have monopolized knowledge, monopolized education, but once the common people can read, all these will disappear. We are thinking hard about how to weaken the gentry, But it is not as good as an invention of Ping An, Your Majesty, Ping An has the appearance of a prime minister."

My younger brother is so outstanding, can you still turn a blind eye?

Li Zhi was full of emotion, "This utilitarianism is in the world, and it will be in the future. Jia Ping'an can be the Duke of the country."

I can't go back on my word.

Wu Mei blessed her body, "The concubine thanked you on behalf of Ping'an."

The emperor is overjoyed!

Immediately, the people from the Ministry of Rites went to Jia's house, and the leader was Shangshu Li Boyi.

"Duke Feng!"

Li Boyi was envious.

The little official beside him said: "Shang Shu, you are the king of Longxi, why bother to envy a duke of the state."

Li Boyi shook his head, "Although the old man is proud of his life, he also knows that this is the wealth and honor brought about by reincarnation. Jia Ping'an was awarded the title by relying on military merits and great achievements. After a thousand years, future generations will remember this person's achievements , and the old man can only show his face in the royal family's genealogy, what a world of difference!"

This old dude still has some self-knowledge.

"Feng Guogong?"

Du He was ecstatic!

"Mr. Lang!"

This was the first time Du He violated the rules, rushed into the backyard and shouted, "Mr. Lang, the Ministry of Rites is here."

"Feng Guogong?"

Wei Wushuang and Su Ho congratulated happily.

The blessing body that even goes around is fake, but it's a little crooked, "Aye is so amazing!"

Ah Fu also yelled and yelled to join in the fun.

Jia Pingan was startled, then shook his head, "It's still early."

He went to the front yard, and Li Boyi cupped his hands in congratulations, "Congratulations, Duke Jia."

Amidst countless envious eyes, Jia Pingan said calmly: "Wait for a while, I will enter the palace now."

He went all the way into the palace, Li Zhi smiled and said: "According to the time, he came to thank you just after receiving the award, which is much faster than last time."

"Peace and courtesy."

Wu Mei felt that brother was trying to win face for herself this time.

"Your Majesty, Duke Jia is here."

Jia Pingan entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to take back your order."

Li Zhi's face gradually stiffened.

"Safety!"

Wu Mei gave a deep drink.

In the past, Jia Ping'an would have trembled, but today he said very seriously: "Your Majesty, I want to be conferred more on military merit."

Military exploits?

Where did the military merit come from?

Wu Mei's neck had blue veins bouncing.

Angry!

Shaopeng was frightened at the side, thinking that Jia Ping'an really wanted to die this time.

The queen tried her best to plan for his promotion, and finally succeeded, but in a blink of an eye, you, Jia Ping'an, didn't want it.

The empress probably wanted to hang him on the door of the bedroom and beat him up severely at this moment, it would not be the same as last time with a few fake whips to finish the job, but a genuine beating.

The emperor looked at the courtier with a slight frown, and had other thoughts in his mind.

All the courtiers rejoiced whenever they got the opportunity to be knighted. The improvement of the title means the improvement of the status, and the promotion will be faster, and the descendants can get more benefits, such as Yin officials.

This is a matter of great benefit to both the individual and the family.

Who can say no?

Jia Pingan!

The young man pouted and said that he wanted to be knighted for military merit.

But recently there is no place to fight, where are you going to make meritorious deeds?

Li Zhi took a look at Wu Mei, the person who had been sleeping with her for many years, and he knew at a glance that this shrew was going crazy, and she was about to go crazy later.

"Military merit can only be conferred with great merit."

Li Zhi pondered.

Movable type printing is a great achievement, and it cannot be justified without a reward. But Jia Ping'an turned out to be a rare stubborn appearance, if he mentioned it again...

Rejected again.

Don't want the emperor's face!

Li Zhi hesitated.

Jia Pingan knew his melancholy, "Your Majesty, I am willing to wait."

"wait?"

Wu Mei sarcastically said: "When will it be?"

Jia Pingan said seriously: "Wait until a fighter appears."

Wu Mei sneered, got up and said: "The concubine is tired, safe, come with me."

Li Zhi sat dumbfounded.

I don't know anything.

The queen's eyes swept over Wang Zhongliang, making him shiver.

Mr. Jia, have a good journey.

Later, news came from the palace.

"Jia Pingan refused the duke's canonization and was beaten up by the queen."

"He rejected the duke's title?"

"It is said to be a knighthood for military merit."

"Tsk tsk!"

There are not many opportunities to be knighted, but if there is an opportunity, even if the emperor drinks too much, he will get it!

The opportunity is never to be missed, and it will never come again, but Jia Ping'an seems to be crazy.

...

"Xiao Jia refused?"

Gao Yang and Xincheng were happily chatting together, and Xiao Ling sent this shocking news.

Looking at Xiao Ling's bewildered appearance, Gao Yang knew it was true.

"Did he drink too much?"

Gao Yang was so angry that he was going to explode, "Da Lang is also the Duke of the county, so I said he would become a Duke of the country as soon as possible, so that the father and son would be more proud when they go out. Who would have thought that he would... fight well!"

Xiao Ling also thought it was a good fight, "Maybe Mr. Wang has drunk too much?"

No, Gao Yang thinks he committed a crime.

"They say they want to be conferred with military merit."

Xiao Ling was a little desperate.

Gao Yang rubbed his forehead, "Liaodong subsided, and there was no movement in Tubo for a while, and the Turkic side was just making small troubles. Where did he go to accumulate enough military achievements?"

Xincheng frowned slightly, "Xiao Jia is not that kind of pedantic person, why doesn't he want to be knighted? Why don't you ask."

"Do not ask!"

Gao Yang said with a cold face, "The queen beat him up, so it's his fault."

Xincheng thought of Jia Pingan who was beaten up, and suddenly felt a bit chilly, "How old was he and he was beaten up..."

...

"Since then, reading has become a reality for people all over the world. The old man thought that this movable type did not appear today. The old man asserted that Jia Pingan proposed to let the people read after he invented this movable type."

Lu Shunyi had already thought clearly.

"Yes, those movable type will take some time to get out, and how long has it been since Dou Dexuan entered the palace to complain? It must be so!"

"It really is a villain!"

Wang Sheng was humiliated too much today, and now he raised his glass and drank heavily, cursing: "That low dog slave!"

A small official came outside, "Three gentlemen are invited to offer wine."

The three of them went to Wang Kuan's place, and all the officials of the Imperial College were there, even Guo Xin, who was a maverick in the Imperial College, was also there.

Wang Kuan coughed dryly, "As soon as movable type printing comes out, it is possible to teach people without discrimination. Our country Zijian should set an example... I am going to replace all the textbooks of Guozijian with movable type printing..."

Li Jingdu frowned, "Movable type printing seems cheap, but today I read it carefully, and the words are rigid, and I feel disgusted when I look at it."

The printing effect of movable type is not as good as engraving, let alone copying.

But it's too cheap!

Guo Xin said coldly: "To read a book, you have to have beautiful characters and a big face!"

This is even more true... Your parents let you read to learn knowledge, not to appreciate the quality of the textbooks.

Wang Sheng said indifferently: "The movable type must have come out a long time ago. Jia Pingan didn't take it out a long time ago. He just waited for this moment. What is he thinking? Movable type, this credit will be expanded, and then..."

He looked at Guo Xin, and said calmly: "Then you will be rewarded for your meritorious service."

...

Good night!
