The four great inventions that Hua Xia people were proud of were the paper-making technique, the compass, gunpowder, and movable type printing. The compass and paper-making technique had been invented in the dynasty before the Tang dynasty, and gunpowder was invented by Ang Lee in advance. Next, Ang Lee wanted to promote movable type printing.
Ang Lee was undoubtedly very excited when he thought that two of the four great inventions of Hua Xia would be 'invented' by himself. Such a great achievement would definitely be recorded in the annals of history and be admired by future generations.
After getting up early in the morning, Ang Lee wrote down the knowledge about pinyin simply by the candlelight. He was going to present the technique of pinyin to the emperor when he went to the imperial court to promote it throughout the Tang dynasty and directly serve the movable type printing.
After gently kissing Yan Ruyu, who was sleeping soundly, Ang Lee went to the imperial court with Zhao Liu. This time, Zhao Liu stayed outside the Daming Palace and brought the movable type printing sample that Ang Lee had prepared.
"Oh, this mirror is so clear. Where did Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon buy it?"
"Hey, the Fourth Prince also has one. It's so beautiful."
"This mirror can actually reflect people as if they were real people. It's amazing."
"The surface is so smooth. It seems to be medicinal jade. Yes, it's medicinal jade."
As soon as Ang Lee walked into the Political Announcement Hall, he saw a large group of ministers gathered together and admiring something new.
When Ang Lee found that the thing that the ministers were admiring was the small mirror that he had given to Li Yu and Li Qiu, he immediately shook his head helplessly. These two guys were still too weak. They couldn't hold back and took out their treasures to show off.
However, there were some good things that couldn't be taken out casually to show off. In the case that he didn't have enough strength, showing off meant losing. Therefore, Ang Lee never brought Yan Ruyu out to show off.
"Assistant Minister Li, Assistant Minister Li is here."
When the ministers heard that the mirror was given to Li Yu and Li Qiu by Ang Lee, they immediately came over to greet them warmly.
"Assistant Minister Li, could it be that you invented this mirror?"
Because they had never seen it before, and it wasn't available on the market. Moreover, Ang Lee's invention of gunpowder had greatly shocked these ministers. Therefore, they naturally thought that this mirror was invented by Ang Lee.
Ang Lee didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "That's right, this mirror was made by me. When I make more in the future, I will definitely give one to each of you as a souvenir."
"Oh, thank you, Assistant Minister Li. Thank you, thank you."
Although these old men didn't have the nature to love beauty, which family didn't have a woman who loved beauty? It was also a good choice to give a small mirror to make his wife happy. Of course, such a good thing could also be used as a dowry. Moreover, it was a high-class dowry.
"His Majesty has arrived."
With the arrival of Li Longji, the ministers immediately took their places and prepared to discuss national affairs. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ w]

Most of the so-called national affairs had already been decided by the various ministers. They only needed to inform the Emperor when they went to court. Of course, they also needed to see if there were any objections before they were officially announced.
"Assistant Minister Li, has the railway line from Daming Palace to Hot Spring Palace been decided?"
After dealing with some national affairs, Li Longji asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, everything has been decided. We can start work immediately after the spring plowing."
Ang Lee answered confidently.
"Well, very good. How long will it take to finish?"
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say. It depends on how many people the imperial court can mobilize. The more people there are, the faster it will be. However, it won't take less than a month."
Ang Lee gave an approximate time. This railway line passed through Mount Li, and some places required a lot of earth and stone. It would be difficult to complete it in a short time no matter how many people there were.
"Well, I'll prepare enough manpower for you. After the spring plowing, I'll have to trouble Assistant Minister Li."
Li Longji attached great importance to this railway line. He was nearly 60 years old and often went to the Hot Spring Palace for leisure. However, every time he was jolted along the way, he felt uncomfortable all over. Therefore, he had a very urgent need for railway lines.
"Your humble servant obeys."
Ang Lee accepted the order and said with cupped fists, "Your Majesty, I recently invented movable type printing. Today, I'm presenting it to Your Majesty."
"Movable type printing? What's movable type printing? "
Li Longji didn't quite understand. After all, he had never seen such a thing before. It was natural that he didn't understand.
In front of Li Longji and the officials, Ang Lee explained the limitations and shortcomings of block printing one by one. He also told everyone the advantages of the movable type printing he created.
When Li Longji heard this, he naturally looked forward to it. He immediately sent for Zhao Liu to enter the hall and let Ang Lee personally demonstrate how to use movable type printing.
Looking at the neatly printed characters, Li Longji and the officials were very happy. The appearance of this thing would greatly reduce the difficulty of printing books and the cost of block printing. Many scholars who lacked financial resources could also publish books. It would greatly promote the cultural development of the Tang Empire.
"Assistant Minister Li, the effect of movable type printing is no different from that of block printing. But how should these movable type be stored and found? If it takes a long time to find a word when printing, wouldn't it be more troublesome? "
"Yes! Yes! How should we find these words? "
After a minister asked this question, many ministers immediately agreed.
Of course, Ang Lee was already prepared, so he immediately explained the knowledge of Pinyin. However, everyone, including Li Longji, was confused. They didn't understand Ang Lee's Pinyin, but they understood Ang Lee's meaning. As long as all the words were marked with Pinyin, it would be very easy to find the words. In this way, the efficiency would be greatly improved, and it would be much faster than block printing.
"Movable type printing is really good. I'll ask the Imperial College to send someone to learn from Assistant Minister Li and then promote it throughout the Tang Empire. I'll leave this matter to Assistant Minister Li."
Li Longji pretended to be very knowledgeable and approved of Ang Lee's invention of movable type printing and planned to promote it throughout the Tang Empire.
Many ministers were shocked and delighted when they thought that after mastering the Pinyin technology, they could use movable type printing very easily and quickly. As long as movable type printing was promoted, printing would become very easy. They only needed eight or ten copies of small batches of books to print.
At the same time, many people cast admiring gazes at Ang Lee. They really admired Ang Lee. Ang Lee was so young, but he had invented so many practical things in succession. It was a little unbelievable.
"Everyone, my wife …"
Just as the ministers were discussing movable type printing, a young eunuch quietly walked to Li Longji's side and whispered something.
Hearing this, Li Longji was stunned. He immediately looked at Li Yu and Li Qiu, who were the youngest among the ministers, and said seriously, "Yu 'er, Qiu' er, come here."
Li Yu and Li Qiu were startled. They looked at each other, stepped forward a dozen steps, and stood in front of everyone.
Li Longji pondered for a moment and asked, "Yu 'er, Qiu' er, these days, have you increased your knowledge by following Assistant Minister Li?"
"Your Majesty, I've learned a lot from following Assistant Minister Li these days. I've understood a lot of things that I didn't understand before, and I've also seen things that I've never seen before."
Li Yu was the first to answer.
"Your Majesty, I've also learned a lot, just like Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon."
Li Qiu nodded in agreement.
Li Longji nodded with satisfaction. "Well, since you've all learned a lot, you can continue to follow Assistant Minister Li in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"By the way, I heard that Assistant Minister Li gave you two gifts yesterday. Is this true?"
Li Longji got to the point.
"Your Majesty, it's true. It's this mirror."
Li Yu obediently took out the mirror. Li Qiu also took out the small mirror from his pocket and held it up.
Li Longji gave the young eunuch beside him a look. The young eunuch understood and immediately walked forward. He took away the small mirror from Li Yu and Li Qiu and presented it to Li Longji, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"This …"
Li Longji was shocked when he saw his real self in the mirror. The image was so clear that he couldn't believe it.
"Take it."
Li Longji handed one mirror to the young eunuch who hurried in and had him give it to Yang Yuhuan. As for the other mirror, Li Longji directly placed it on the imperial table in front of him. He had no intention of returning it to Li Yu and Li Qiu.
The young eunuch hurried to the Political Announcement Hall because Li Yu and Li Qiu showed the mirror to a few palace maids in the harem who were familiar with it. The palace maids were very surprised after seeing it and quickly spread the news in the harem. Yang Yuhuan quickly learned about it and immediately sent her personal eunuch to tell Li Longji, indicating that Li Longji wanted the mirror that could reflect the real person.
Li Longji was the Emperor of the Tang dynasty. No one dared to refuse him what he wanted. Li Yu and Li Qiu saw that their beloved mirror was taken away by Li Longji. Although they were reluctant, there was nothing they could do. It was like a student in the future who bought a novel but was confiscated by the teacher. Although they were angry, there was nothing they could do but accept it.
However, this also taught Li An an even more important lesson. It made Li An even more aware of what kind of person Li Longji was. This old man was truly too selfish. For the sake of his own throne, he killed three of his own sons in one go. For the sake of lust, he actually snatched his own daughter-in-law. And now, in order to curry favor with his former daughter-in-law, he actually took his grandson's belongings for himself. Moreover, he didn't even have the intention to negotiate.
"This old man, I can't let him see my treasure. Otherwise, my head will change color."
Ang Lee immediately became vigilant. He felt that he had to be more vigilant against Li Longji.
"Assistant Minister Li, stay here. The court is dismissed."
As expected, Li Longji didn't return the small mirror. Instead, he directly announced the dismissal of the court and asked Ang Lee to stay. Needless to say, the reason for asking Ang Lee to stay must be because of the mirror.
Li Yu and Li Qiu looked at each other and left the Political Announcement Hall in disappointment. When they passed by Ang Lee, they nodded and said that they would go to the processing factory to visit Yuan Jing the next morning.
"Assistant Minister Li, you didn't invent this mirror, did you?"
Li Longji picked up the mirror again and looked at himself.
"Your Majesty is wise. This is something that I just developed yesterday afternoon."
Ang Lee answered truthfully.
"Haha! It is indeed developed by my beloved Minister Li. This smooth surface must be the medicinal jade! How did Assistant Minister Li find such a smooth medicinal jade? "
Li Longji asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, this medicinal jade was made by me."
"What? Assistant Minister Li can make medicinal jade?"
Li Longji was shocked. Medicinal jade was passed down from the west of the Western Regions. No one in the Tang dynasty could make medicinal jade.
"Medicinal jade requires a lot of materials and is extremely precious. How did Assistant Minister Li collect all of them?"
"Your Majesty, there are dozens of materials needed to make medicinal jade, but compared to the composition of black gunpowder, they are just a small fry. They are about two-thirds of the materials needed to make black gunpowder."
Li An said as he sent him off.
"Two-thirds of the materials needed to make black gunpowder?"
Li Longji repeated and was immediately stunned. After a while, he looked at the eunuchs and maids beside him and said, "All of you, leave!"
The eunuchs and maids slowly left the Political Announcement Hall and closed the door behind them.
"Assistant Minister Li, you mean that only two materials are needed to create the medicinal jade. But what are those two materials?"
Li Longji certainly understood Ang Lee's meaning. After the eunuchs and maids left, he asked.
"Your Majesty, these two materials are very common. They are soda ash and sand."
Ang Lee said casually.
"Only soda ash and sand are needed?"
Li Longji couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, only these two are needed."
"Humph, these hateful Persian merchants dared to deceive me. They said that the medicinal jade needed Snow Mountain Mysterious Ice. These materials that I have never seen before are really hateful."
When Li Longji heard that the medicinal jade materials were so simple and very common, he immediately felt that it was a great shame that he, as an emperor, was deceived by the Persian merchants.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You can't blame the Persian merchants. In order to keep it a secret, they used the medicinal jade to exchange for the silk and porcelain of the Tang dynasty. Besides, didn't Your Majesty tell the world that black gunpowder needs hundreds of materials? When the foreign tribes of the Barbarians know the truth, they will be furious. "
Ang Lee explained with a smile.
"Well, Assistant Minister Li said that the Persian merchants deceived the Tang dynasty in order to make profits by using the medicinal jade to exchange for the silk and porcelain of the Tang dynasty. I don't blame them. However, now that Assistant Minister Li can invent medicinal jade, this source of income of the Persian merchants will be cut off. Haha!"
Li Longji's heart immediately calmed down, and he said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the medicinal jade was invented by me. Why don't you leave this opportunity to me to make money? I won't promote it, lest it be studied by other small countries. "
Ang Lee asked greedily.
Li Longji frowned, picked up the remaining small mirror, and said unhappily, "Assistant Minister Li invented the mirror with the medicinal jade and gave it to Yu 'er and Jin' er, but forgot about me. This …"
