"Your Highness, is there anyone who is proficient in engraving as a prisoner?"
"Those craftsmen who usually carve relief carvings for pavilions and pavilions will do."
Shangguan Yi obviously still didn¡¯t understand, but His Highness¡¯s order must have His Majesty¡¯s reason. At this time, he called someone to arrest the important person. Naturally, it was in the name of Your Highness. He, a secretary of Hongwen Pavilion, did not have such face.
A general would give face to His Highness, but he might not give him face as Secretary Lang of Hongwen Pavilion.
Naturally, there were people there who were going to be the supervisors and important people. Shangguan Yi also went to Hongwen Pavilion in person to find all the people here who could engrave seals.
Li Zhi randomly turned over the Four Books and Five Classics here. The so-called Four Books and Five Classics, the Four Books refer to "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius", and the Five Classics refer to the "Book of Songs", "Book of Books", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn". They are the main classics of Confucianism.
Of course, the Four Books and Five Classics at this time are still somewhat different from those of later generations, because Confucian classics are always changing and developing.
Li Zhi was flipping through a Book of Songs, the one he was most familiar with. After flipping through it for a while, Shangguan Yi brought a few people in.
"Your Highness, the people you want are all here. What other orders does Your Highness have?"
"Find the wood, it doesn't have to be very good, and then have it made into a small piece of wood that is so long and so wide."
Li Zhi waited for a moment with his hands, and Shangguan Yi nodded.
"You go quickly and make the supervisor and ask for some more carpenters."
Naturally, Shangguan Yi was busy here. Li Zhi casually flipped through half of the Book of Songs at this time and no longer went back to it.
"Sir Shangguan, ask the people in Hongwen Pavilion to sort out the words in the book that will be used. Sort out which words are used more, which words are used less, and which words are only used occasionally."
"Yes, Your Highness, this minister will prepare now."
"Well, you will be busy with this for the past two days. While you are sorting it out, you will have people carve words on small wooden blocks. The number will depend on the number of words in the book. You don't have to be too precise, just roughly."
"Also, the words must be carved neatly and then sorted out."
"Your Highness, this is really a lot."
"You come one by one, and you don't have to finish them all at once, and you don't need to engrave repeated words."
"Yes, Your Highness, Shangguan Yi has clearly remembered His Highness's instructions."
"By the way, one more thing. Since you want the carpenter who will be the supervisor, make a few more square cabinets, each with small squares, to store this batch of woodcut movable type."
Shangguan Yi still didn¡¯t understand why King Jin called this woodcut movable type, but he quickly agreed.
When working for the royal family, you often don¡¯t need to understand it very well. You just need to do what you are told.
After Li Zhi gave these instructions, he left. When he passed Changle Gate, he looked at the palace next to him. He didn't know how his aunt and cousin were doing in Xingyang and when they would come back.
It¡¯s snowing now, so we won¡¯t be able to come back soon. The journey is long and difficult.
Li Zhi returned to the Jin Palace. On each of these two days, Li Zhi went to the palace to meet his father, the emperor and his mother as usual. He first went to the Ganlu Palace and then to the Li Zheng Palace.
Li Zhi remembered what happened between himself and the emperor¡¯s sister. He went to Ganlu Hall in the past two days and always unknowingly checked his father¡¯s face. On the surface, he was naturally concerned about his father and wanted to see how his father looked.
In fact, it was just to see if his father was angry with him because of this matter. The fact was that Tang Zong always seemed very happy whenever the Jin Dynasty was here these two days.
He most likes to talk to Li Zhi about things in Xingyang, and Li Zhi has even told Li Zhi several times about some of his experiences.
Sometimes Li Zhi is confused. His father only gets excited after hearing some of these things once or twice. After telling them four or five times, why is his father still so happy?
Especially when Li Zhi told Mr. Zheng¡¯s wife about palming his wife and punching Mr. Zheng¡¯s wife at least seven or eight times, his father was still as excited as when he first heard it.
Did the ancients like to see slaps in the face so much?
Apart from the Zheng family¡¯s affairs, Tang Zong and Li Zhi talked most about bookmaking in Hongwen Pavilion. Li Zhi also went to Hongwen Pavilion every day for the past two days, and he was most concerned about this matter. When his father asked about it, he answered fluently.
Today, the movable type used in the Book of Songs is basically ready. Li Zhi specially stayed in Hongwen Pavilion for most of the day, asked someone to free up a big house, and then personally demonstrated how to make a book using movable type.
Li Zhi hand-printed five or six pages, so the people at Hongwen Pavilion have naturally learned it. Shangguan Yi naturally admired King Jin's printing method.
Li Zhi only heard that His Highness¡¯s move was comparable to Cangjie¡¯s creation of characters.
Li Zhi didn¡¯t want to accept such praise, so he asked Shangguan Yi not to say it again.
It¡¯s just that this secretary of Hongwen Pavilion at this time will become the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future.Wen Chen was still so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Li Zhi just asked him to go about his business and walked out of Hongwen Pavilion. It was getting late outside, and before he knew it, most of the day had passed.
Li Zhi was about to leave Hongwen Pavilion and prepare to return to Prince Jin's Mansion. Several people there were already chasing a snow-white figure.
"Brother Ninth, you are here!"
"You guys, be careful."
Seeing Li Fu, Li Ming and Heng Shan chasing the silver fox, Li Zhi quickly reminded them.
Looking at his younger brothers and sisters, Li Zhi smiled. Originally, these three princes and princesses, who were both born in the eighth year of Zhenguan, basically couldn't play together, but now they basically play together every day.
Among them, someone is naturally the one who deserves the most credit. The children are only a few months apart in age and have the same father. As long as they play together, they will definitely be able to play together soon, but Li Zhi is indispensable as an introduction.
Li Zhi saw that Hengshan had caught up with Silver Fox, hugged him in his arms, and walked towards him.
"Hengshan, are these silver foxes good these days?"
"Brother, they are so well-behaved, especially when you feed them meat, but they don't eat vegetarian food."
Li Zhi was also helpless. How could a carnivore be a vegetarian?
Li Zhi stayed with his brothers and sisters for a while and then left here.
What Li Zhi didn't know was that Shangguan Yi was still in Hongwen Pavilion when it was getting very late. At this time, Taizong also came to Hongwen Pavilion in person, inspected the printing process, and kept nodding.
"Your Majesty, this movable type printing is really a shocking move. Your Highness can come up with this method. I really can't think of any words to praise Your Highness."
Tang Zong was naturally happy that his ministers praised his son in front of him, and Shangguan Yi had always been a bit upright by nature.
How can a father be unhappy when others praise his son? Tang Zong was the emperor, but to the princes, he was first and foremost a father.
"You rarely praise others!"
"Your Majesty, Shangguan Yi really can't bear it this time. Every word and every word comes from the bottom of his heart."
"Then what do you think of my many princes?"
"I dare not comment."
"No problem, you are my close minister. You have been working in Hongwen Pavilion since the second year of Zhenguan. So many of my sons were here when they were studying. You are one of the people who know them best in the court." (Remember this.) Website address: www.hlnovel.com
