The next morning, Li Longji left with his belongings. He was not happy at all.
During the court meeting in the palace, his face was gloomy. When the other officials left and only Yao Chong and the other two were left, he was still as serious as ever.
He said to Gao Lishi, "The officials from the Li Family Zhuangzi in the twenty counties. Keep an eye on them. Record down the names of those who are plotting against us."
"As you command." Gao Lishi bowed in response.
Li Longji then looked at Yao Chong, "Minister Yao Chong, Guo Bin from the Censorate is not bad. He impeached my younger brother Yi for being arrogant and taking advantage of the army's weapons to become the guards of the Winged Knights.
There are not many officials who can speak frankly. Very good, the Tang Dynasty needs people like this, just like Wei Zheng.
However, I feel that Guo Bin is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut in the Censorate. Leizhou is guarding the sea, an important place for the country. He can be the head of a county. "
"I understand." Yao Chong said as quickly as he could.
At the same time, he mourned for Guo Bin. He was thrown to Leizhou with just one impeachment. Could the Tang Dynasty be any further?
Moreover, he was only a county magistrate in the past, not a provincial governor. Who could a county magistrate control?
Zhang Shuo looked at Lu Huaishen and communicated with his eyes: What's wrong with His Majesty today?
Lu Huaishen: I don't know. Maybe it's because of the newspaper?
Zhang Shuo's eyes were blank: What did you say?
Lu Huaishen mouthed: Newspaper.
At the same time, he made a gesture of reading a newspaper.
Zhang Shuo shook his head: Impossible. That's not worth it.
Lu Huaishen: Maybe …
"Minister Lu." Li Longji's voice interrupted Lu Huaishen's' eye contact '.
"I'm here." Lu Huaishen responded.
"I heard that the newspaper has the ability to confuse the people. It should be banned. These people are able to see the smallest detail. They should be the pillars of the country.
Coincidentally, there is a stone mine in Lantian County. I'm afraid that there might be some loopholes. I can order these people to patrol the area and record every day. "
Li Longji praised others again, saying that the newspaper should be banned. He was too amazing, far-sighted, and sent to guard the mine.
"I'll definitely get it done." Lu Huaishen also observed a moment of silence for them. He understood that His Majesty's intelligence was not ordinary.
Without waiting for Li Longji to call him, Zhang Shuo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this subject is willing to share Your Majesty's burdens."
"My Younger Brother Yi wants to promote the new papermaking technology in all the papermaking workshops in the capital. If anyone disagrees, it means that they don't want the Tang dynasty to use new good paper. Minister Zhang, you'll have to work hard."
Li Longji ordered Zhang Shuo that if Brother Yi wanted to stir up trouble, he could not delay. Whoever found fault at the crucial moment, regardless of whether they were from the public or the government, would be dealt with.
"This subject is willing to help the people of the Tang dynasty use paper, learn, and receive education." Zhang Shuo accepted the order.
"Hmm!" Li Longji gently nodded and made a sound through his nose.
The three of them understood and took their leave.
Turning his head, Li Longji said to Gao Lishi, "Send another one thousand Winged Knights. They must be new. Learn from the old and learn to endure hardships."
"This subject understands." Gao Lishi understood Li Longji's meaning. The old would take care of the new, one would take care of two.
Enduring hardships meant that they would have to do hard work.
"Don't go yet. Come with me. Install some things. Do it quietly and don't let anyone notice."
Li Longji saw that Gao Lishi was about to leave and stopped him.
Now that the things were brought, they had to be set up properly.
The surveillance cameras were all charged and could be directly connected to the wires. The palace was too big, and the wires were not long enough.
They could only charge some unimportant parts during the day and put them back when they were full.
The wires were the most important parts, so they had to be watched at all times.
When Li Longji showed Gao Lishi the images displayed on the screen and in the backup battery, Gao Lishi was numb.
He had no blood in his limbs, and his head was buzzing. How could there be such things in the world?
Among them, he completely blocked out the surroundings of a room. It was pitch black, but the surveillance cameras could still be seen clearly.
"How is it?" Li Longji asked.
"Anyone who is hostile to Li Dongzhu will be killed!" Gao Lishi replied.
He did not say whether the things were useful or not. He knew that they were from Li Yi. No wonder His Majesty dealt with people today.
The two of them discussed where to put them and felt much more at ease.
In front of the palace, at the end of Vermillion Bird Avenue, Song De brought eighty-one thousand copies of the newspaper. The others went to the various shops to sell.
One thousand copies were directly taken away by the people in the palace. Eighty thousand copies took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the border crossing with the Tubo people.
The capital's papermaking workshops received new technology and orders that day. They found that according to their labor, they could make a profit of one copper coin for every three or four sheets of paper they produced.
They could not compare to the efficiency of the Li Family Zhuangzi's papermaking workshop. The cost of one sheet of paper from the Li Family Zhuangzi was ten copper coins.
More importantly, it was difficult for them to find the stones needed to make paper. The most convenient place was Lantian County.
Li Yi took eighty percent of the shares and eighty percent of the gross profit from buying the stones from Lantian County.
In summary, Li Yi spent more than fifteen copper coins on each sheet of paper. He earned back part of the profits from the stones.
After buying eighty thousand copies of the newspaper, the Tubo people were not as happy as they were yesterday.
They felt that something was wrong, but they could not figure out what the problem was.
Obviously, the cost of the newspaper was high and the selling price was low. Why did they feel scared after buying it?
For the next few days, the Li Family Zhuangzi's newspaper increased.
On the 30th day of the fourth lunar month, the Li family's village sold three hundred thousand copies of the newspaper to the Japanese.
According to Song De, the owner knew that you wanted to take it back and show it to your people. This was the proof of the friendly relationship between the Tang dynasty and you. It could not be cheap or expensive.
The paper from other places of the capital's government was delivered to the Li Family Zhuangzi one after another. They received the money and left happily.
Although it took three or four sheets of paper to make one copper coin, there were a lot of them.
Moreover, after mastering the technology, they could sell it to others, especially to the outside world, at a higher price.
On the morning of the first day of May, Empress Wang came out. She pushed the baby carriage that Li Yi designed and let the workshop know about.
There was a canopy above the baby carriage with a mirror facing the sky. It was surrounded by thin sand.
The baby lay inside and looked at it with his eyes wide open. In fact, he still could not see anything. His eyesight was not good.
Even though Empress Wang had been eating nutritious meals and the baby absorbed them well, he was still developing. He still could not see clearly what he should not see clearly.
Empress Wang followed Li Yi's instructions and talked to the baby from time to time. His hearing developed faster than his eyesight.
The little guy's eyeballs would move, especially when he waved his hand in front of him. His eyeballs would move, but in fact, he still could not see clearly.
Ordinary people should be in confinement for a month. Empress Wang was checked by Li Yi. Okay, no need.
"Mother will take you to the cafeteria. The smell there is so good. You won't even know what kind of dish it is."
Empress Wang pushed the baby carriage to the cafeteria. She was going to eat in the cafeteria today.
The baby had already been breastfed and his diapers changed. He could hold on for a while.
After entering the cafeteria, the little guy's breathing changed, even if his understanding of the smell was not that good.
The temperature in the cafeteria was lower than outside. The little guy who had just felt the warmth of the sun finally cooled down. The expression on his face changed slightly.
"Uncle, seeing the baby's appearance, as a mother, it's worth it to do anything for him." Empress Wang sighed to Li Yi.
Li Yi smiled and nodded. He did not say anything. He wanted to say Wu Zetian. That woman was not ordinary.
