Chapter 246 Entering Zhao’s Door on New Year’s Eve

It's really hard to imagine Li Jing.

What method did Zhao Chen use to get so many books?

After all, he received news that Zhao Chen offended several shopkeepers of aristocratic families and all the paper sources of the bookstore were blocked.

Even the printing workshop does not help Wangyou Bookstore.

But just like Zhao Chen’s bookstore has produced so many books today.

This is really hard to believe.

"Zhao County Marquis, I just heard that those shopkeepers of those aristocratic families bought 100,000 books. How many days have passed?"

"Even if you have enough paper, it is impossible for you to carve the contents of books on bamboo slips so quickly."

"Do you have any other way?" Changsun Wuji looked at Zhao Chen carefully and asked slowly.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also stared at Zhao Chen tightly, waiting for his answer.

Like everyone else, the two of them were also very curious.

They even had a guess in their minds whether Zhao Chen had any advanced printing methods.

Seeing that everyone was so curious and even couldn't wait, Empress Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a look of relief.

Anyway, she knew that Zhao Chen not only made cheaper paper herself, but also innovated printing.

All of this was done by Zhao Chen alone.

Li Ruoshuang stood behind Li Jing and thought about telling everyone about Zhao Chen's achievements several times.

But in the end I held back.

But the joy in my heart could no longer be suppressed.

Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, wanted to say it at this moment.

After all, he is the one who witnessed Zhao Chen’s movable type printing technique in front of him.

"That, several dukes and empresses, I can explain the printing matter." Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Oh? Shangshu Duan actually knew about this?" Fang Xuanling looked at Duan Lun curiously.

"But the Ministry of Works helps carve the content of the book and then print it on paper?" Changsun Wuji also asked.

Wei Zheng and Li Jing had neither spoken, but they also looked at Duan Lun for inquisitiveness.

They also felt that Zhao Chen's bookstore could print so much in such a short time, so it must be helped by the Ministry of Works.

Otherwise, how could Duan Lun say that he could explain it?

Queen Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes full of relief.

"Where can my Ministry of Works help such a big deal? It was Zhao County Hou himself who made a printed and engraved plate with movable type..."

"Mobile type printing and engraving plate? What is that?" Before Duan Lun finished speaking, he saw Fang Xuanling standing up with a curious face.

Changsun Wuji had the same expression.

Li Jing and Wei Zheng were even more staring at Zhao Chen.

Just now, Duan Lun meant that Zhao Chen had invented a new printing method himself.

Is it called movable type printing?

"Zhao Chen, why don't you let someone take it out for everyone to see?" Empress Changsun said to Zhao Chen with a smile.

There was a hint of complacent expression in the words.

The few people here were stunned when they heard Empress Changsun’s words.

After a moment, they realized that Queen Changsun had known this thing for a long time.

That means the emperor also knew it a long time ago.

So, there is still the shadow of the emperor behind this incident today?

A servant from the bookstore went to the backyard to bring a small set of ink characters and placed them on the table in the center of the living room.

Everyone immediately jumped up as soon as they saw the small ink words.

Even though he was quite old like Li Jing, he got close to the table.

His eyes were staring at the row of small ink-cubic characters in front of him.

Then he just took a look and everyone understood how to operate this thing.

It just so happened that the servant brought the paper and ink.

Then he saw Fang Xuanling pick up a piece of paper and painted ink with small ink words.

The paper is slowly printed and then slowly lifted.

Then I saw a neat row of small characters appearing on the originally empty paper.

Then adjust the order of the ink characters.

Then there is another row of new sentences.

"This...this...this..." Fang Xuanling held two pieces of paper in his hand, his arms trembling slightly.

Fang Xuanling never thought that this printing process would have such a convenient day.

Just rearrange the font order to easily print out new sentences.

This is much time-saving than carving on bamboo slips and printing before!

This thing is really amazing.

"Good guy, today I'm really eye-opening. There is such a magical method in the world." Li Jing even called him a good guy.

The look he looked at Zhao Chen was getting more and more satisfied.

I was wondering if I could ask Zhao Chen and his daughter to decide the marriage as soon as possible so as not to be coveted by those who are interested...

"Zhao County Hou Dacai, this invention is beneficial to the country and the people. Empress, since Zhao County Hou calls you aunt, it is better to marry him. Princess Jinyang is also at the age of marriage, so it is better to..."

Li Jing was worried, but he didn't expect that Changsun Wuji, a shameless guy, would directly persuade Empress Changsun to betroth Princess Li Mingda to Zhao Chen.

Li Mingda's nickname is the princess who is most loved by the emperor and the queen besides Princess Li Lizhi.

When Li Jing betrothed her to Zhao Chen, he felt that this was Changsun Wuji's provocation to him.

Didn’t he know that his daughter had fallen in love with Zhao Chen?

Even Li Jing, he is very optimistic about this marriage.

"Changsun Pushe is such a bad word. Princess Changle is older. I think it's better to betroth Princess Changle to Zhao Chen, so that she can be more compatible. What about Changsun Pushe?" Li Jing immediately retorted Changsun Wuji.

The purpose is to capture Changsun Wuji's pain.

After all, it has been so long since the emperor promised to betroth Princess Changle to Changsun Chong, but there has been no reply yet.

But Changsun Wuji would never agree to let Zhao Chen marry Li Lizhi.

Otherwise, what should his Changsun Chong do?

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

He glared at Li Jing fiercely, turned his head and didn't want to look at him again.

Li Ruoshuang frowned, and at this moment she felt a strong crisis.

They were standing here, but they arranged a marriage for Zhao Chen in front of themselves.

Do you really think that you don’t exist?

"Auntie, I decided to enter the Zhao family's door on New Year's Eve this year."

"puff--"

As soon as Li Ruoshuang said this, Wei Zheng, who was still drinking tea and watching the show, couldn't help but spit it out.

I had known that the daughter of Li Jing's family was tough, but who knew that she would say such words in front of so many people.

It's really...

"Ahem, I'm really a tiger girl in the general, dare to fight and rush." ​​Wei Zheng coughed, covering up his embarrassment.

Li Jing was also stunned by his daughter.

I was obviously urging the old guy Changsun Wuji, because Changsun Wuji could not let Princess Changle marry someone else.

But this girl actually said that she would go to Zhao Chen's mansion on New Year's Eve this year.

Li Jing thought he could speak without hesitation, but his daughter's words were unable to answer.

Even Li Jing didn't dare to raise his head.
