"Oh, fifty carriages. That's not a small number. Brother Ma, get someone to write an advertisement for our carriages and put it in the Datang Daily tomorrow! Oh, and the advertisement for the Tang Dynasty Dictionary. You can start publishing it tomorrow as well. Do the initial publicity first. Once we have printed a thousand copies, we can put it in Qiqu Culture and sell it! "
In the front yard of the workshop.
Li Zexuan nodded in agreement after hearing Faubert's suggestion.
"Yes, no problem! But didn't you ask Old Mr. Li to write the introduction for the Tang Dynasty Dictionary? Why did you … "
Ma Zhou was puzzled.
"Haha! What we are doing now is only the initial publicity. The printing of a thousand copies of the Tang Dynasty Dictionary is not something that can be done in a day. Even if the workshop is much larger than before, it will take at least two to three days! We need to let people know what the Tang Dynasty Dictionary is first. Then, when we have enough copies, we can release Old Mr. Li's introduction! After all, he is one of the most honorable writers for the Datang Daily! "
Li Zexuan chuckled and explained.
Although Li Gang had retired many years ago, his qualifications were still there. He was still at the top of the pyramid of Tang Dynasty's literary world. Since such a big shot had taken the initiative to support the Tang Dynasty Dictionary, Li Zexuan naturally had to save his introduction for the finale!
"Yes, Lord Jue is right. Then I will personally write the publicity for the new carriages and the Tang Dynasty Dictionary!"
Ma Zhou thought for a while and felt that it was reasonable. He nodded in agreement and prepared to go back to write the advertisement. After all, it was already evening. Time was tight and the task was important!
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Brother Ma!"
Li Zexuan patted Ma Zhou's shoulder and watched him leave. Then, he said to Faubert beside him, "Faubert, send ten carriages to Qiqu Pavilion tomorrow and hand them over to Manager Sun. With the publicity of our newspaper and the quality of the carriages, it won't be a problem to sell them!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Faubert heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands.
…
"Your Majesty, Li Siye requests an audience!"
Within the Sweet Dew Hall.
With great difficulty, he finally finished dealing with today's memorials. Li Er stretched his body tiredly and moved his wrists. Suddenly, an eunuch came in and reported with a bow.
"Oh ~? This brat actually took the initiative to look for me? "
Li Er felt that the sun must have risen from the west today. He had met Li Zexuan so many times. Which time was it not because something had happened that he asked someone to call Li Zexuan over? From the beginning to the end, Li Zexuan had never taken the initiative to enter the palace to look for him.
"Summon him in!"
Li Zexuan put down the red brush in his hand and leaned against the dragon throne. He closed his eyes and rested, calmly waiting for Li Zexuan to come in.
A moment later, Li Zexuan walked in with a thick book in his arms. After greeting each other, Li Zexuan looked at the book in Li Zexuan's hands and curiously asked, "What is it?
"What book are you holding in your arms? Are you here today to present a book to me? "
"Your Majesty is wise. I am here today to present a book to you!"
Li Zexuan smiled.
"Oh ~? What book? Quickly present it to me! A book that you have personally come to deliver must be extraordinary! "
Li Er was energized and said excitedly.
Zhao Song, who was beside Li Er, hurriedly went to take the book and presented it to Li Er with both hands.
Li Er took the dictionary with one hand. It was slightly heavy in his hand. He saw that on the red cover, there were four flamboyant golden words — Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty. These four words were as graceful as silver hooks, moving like a startled phoenix, floating like clouds, and as vigorous as a startled dragon. The strokes were powerful and intoxicating.
The "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" that Li Zexuan gave was the first dictionary that the workshop had just printed. It even came with a cover. As for the four words on the cover, it was written by Li Gang himself. Naturally, it looked very cool.
"Oh ~! It's actually the "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty"? It's done so quickly? "
When Li Eryi saw the words' Dictionary of the Great Tang 'on the cover, he instantly recalled that a month ago, Li Zexuan had mentioned to him that he wanted to compile a dictionary to help the children of poor families learn how to read and write. At the time, not only had he praised Li Zexuan greatly, he had also specially asked the two brothers, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, to send people to help Li Zexuan complete the compilation as soon as possible. However, he truly had not expected the progress to be so fast.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The" Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty "has just been compiled today. I have specially brought it here for you to take a look. After that, we will print it in large quantities and send it to Qiqu Pavilion to be sold. By then, countless people will learn how to read!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said.
"Haha! Good! Good! Good! "
Li Er was so happy that he shouted three times. He laughed and said, "You have done well this time. You have done well. I am very pleased!"
"Your Majesty is too kind, too kind! Hehe! "
Li Zexuan was so happy that he could not find north and laughed.
"Who wrote the words" Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty "? Looking at this handwriting, I … Why do I feel that it is very familiar? "
Only then did Li Er ask about the four words that were full of pretentious style on the cover.
"Your Majesty, the person who wrote these four words is Old Mr. Li Gang! Old Mr. Li is a person of virtue and prestige, so I invited him to come out and nominate him for the cover of the "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty"! "
Li Zexuan talked nonsense as if he was running around and visiting famous scholars for the publication of the "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty".
"Li Gang!!"
Li Er was stunned and muttered to himself as if he had suddenly realized something. After being stunned for a good half an hour, Li Er stared into Li Zexuan's eyes and said with a complicated expression,
"You are really capable, kid! Mr. Li Gang has been in seclusion for many years. I have always wanted to invite him back to be Chengqian's teacher, but he has always refused. I didn't expect him to run over to you. Really … "
"So Li Er had the intention of letting Li Gang be Chengqian's teacher for a long time. Tsk tsk, but this progress doesn't seem to be what Li Er wanted!"
Li Zexuan muttered to himself. He did not expect that as the Emperor, Old Li would also have a time when he was ignored by others! How rare!
"This kid is not really that capable. It is just Old Mr. Li's great favor!"
Li Zexuan said humbly.
"Haha! Let's not talk about this first. Let me see the content inside first! "
Li Er shook his head and said that. He opened the "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" and began to read.
After realizing the superiority of pinyin, Li Er had spent a period of time specifically learning pinyin.
Similar to when Li Zexuan first saw the "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" today, Li Er first looked curiously at the pinyin table of contents in front of him and the table of contents in front of him. Then, he thought of a few random Chinese characters for himself and began to look them up for fun.
The results were without a doubt. There were no mistakes in the page number annotations. They were all accurate!
"Haha! Good! This "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" is really good. I will leave this to me! Kid, quickly arrange for people to print this dictionary in large quantities and promote it as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will reward you handsomely! "
