Chapter 321 What Monster
Xu Jingzong's action was very fast. The next day, he delivered the revised newspaper to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, this is a newspaper that I printed according to what the Marquis of Jingyang County said. Please have a look at it," Xu Jingzong said.
He was not stupid enough to take all the credit for it, and directly stated that this was done according to Lin Xuan's request, and if there was anything wrong, he would not be responsible.
Li Shimin unfolded the newspaper and read it carefully.
After a cursory look, Li Shimin skipped other content and looked directly at the content about the imperial examination.
"Okay!" Li Shimin shouted happily after reading it.
Seeing the latter paragraph, he was very happy to praise him overtly and secretly.
Seeing Xu Jingzong looking at him, Li Shimin coughed dryly, and said seriously: "This man's family is so difficult, he can still study hard, and he passed the No. 1 county examination, which is very good."
Li Shimin is a person who is a little overjoyed, but he doesn't want to show it.To put it bluntly, it is hypocritical.
Xu Jingzong said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this is fake."
He didn't dare to lie to Li Shimin, this is what he specially emphasized before that he did what Lin Xuan said.
"Fake?" Li Shimin looked at Xu Jingzong fiercely.
What do you mean, those words of praise to me are all false?
Xu Jingzong was sweating coldly, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He said, "Return to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang County said that this will make the common people have a sense of substitution, and they are more willing to let their children study."
That's it!
Li Shimin realized this time that Xu Jingzong was talking about this.
It wasn't that he reacted slowly, but that after reading those praises, he was a little flattered, and didn't listen carefully to what Xu Jingzong said.
"Well, what he said makes sense. I read it once and there is no problem. Let's print it like this. When can it be sold?" Li Shimin asked nonchalantly.
As for falsification or something, he doesn't care at all.
Are there still few court frauds?As long as everyone who doesn't do it knows it, it doesn't matter at all.
Li Shimin was very excited when he thought that after the newspaper was sold, those common people learned about the benefits of the imperial examination in detail and were grateful to him.
All these years of hard work, isn't it just to eliminate the influence of improper position.
Xu Jingzong heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang County said that you can print a thousand copies first to test the effect. It can be printed tomorrow."
"Then let's start selling the day after tomorrow. If you have any problems, report to me immediately." Li Shimin said.
Xu Jingzong was overjoyed and said, "I obey!"
……
After Lin Xuan had practiced martial arts in the morning and had a good meal, he rolled out his bicycle.
Today he is going to go for a stroll in Chang'an by bicycle.
"What monster is this?"
"Two wheels one behind the other, why can they get inside?"
"This thing seems to be made of iron. It can run without being pulled by any animals. Isn't Hou Ye a fairy?"
"Master Hou is the reincarnation of an immortal, this must be the treasure of the immortal family!"
……
When Lin Xuan passed by Zhouzhuang on a bicycle with his own soldiers, it caused an uproar.
Seeing Lin Xuan riding a monster that had never been seen before, and running so fast, the people of Zhouzhuang began to talk about it.
Many people even regard Lin Xuan as a fairy, thinking that the bicycle is a treasure of the fairy family.
Lin Xuan also heard these comments, but he didn't mean to explain.
Tell them what is a bicycle?What is balance?They don't understand at all.
When it came to Chang'an, it caused a great sensation.
There are often businessmen from various countries in Chang'an, who bring many novelties.
But this is the first time they have seen such an iron frame that can run on its own.
Many people are curious, ready to go back and ask where they bought it.
Some people even said that this is not a wooden cow.
Lin Xuan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this discussion.
It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, it was difficult to transport grain on the mountain roads in Shu.
Zhuge Liang thought hard and invented a grain transport tool that can walk by itself. Because its shape is similar to that of a cow and a horse, it is called a wooden cow and a horse.
This thing is so magical that it is actually the earliest unicycle.It's not as magical as the legend says.
Besides, wooden cows and horses are made of wood, and bicycles are made of iron. What kind of eyes are there.
Lin Xuan ignored those people and rode his bicycle to the furniture shop.
He was going to let Chen Guangli see if he could make a bicycle out of wood.
"I've seen Lord Hou!" Chen Guangli bowed his hands.
Because of Chen Guangli's second career, his complexion is very rosy, and he is not as old as ordinary old people who are over [-] years old.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and asked, "Don't be too polite, old man Chen, have you made the second set of fonts yet?"
Chen Guangli smiled and said, "Back to Lord Hou, the second set has already been made, and the third set is already half done."
A set of fonts does not just need to do all the characters once.
After all, when printing, many words will be used repeatedly.
Just one is simply not enough.
After all, there are many general applications, so you need to make ten, and you need to make five for those with less use. For those unpopular ones, you only need to make two or three.
A set of fonts needs to make 10,000+ individual fonts, which is very complicated.
Even so, it is more convenient than engraving.
"Thank you, Old Man Chen, I'll take this set away in a while." Lin Xuan said.
Now I am in a hurry to use it, so I can only do it like this first, and when more are made later, I can make hundreds of each character and put them together.
"Old man, let people prepare." Chen Guangli said.
Lin Xuan said: "It's fine to tell others to do these things. I'm here this time, and I want to trouble Old Man Chen with something."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. If you have anything to do, just give me an order." After Chen Guangli finished speaking, he ordered someone to pack the font into a box, waiting for Lin Xuan's order.
Lin Xuan asked someone to push the bicycle over.
Those soldiers also regarded the bicycle as a treasure of the fairy family, and they didn't dare to push it at all. The two men carried it over carefully, for fear of breaking it.
Lin Xuan had already explained it to them before, and now he didn't bother to explain it. When they put down the bicycle, he said, "Old man Chen, let's see if we can make this thing."
Chen Guangli didn't speak. He looked around the bicycle carefully, touched it again, and said: "Master Hou, although this old thing doesn't know what it's used for, it looks like it's made of iron, and it's not ordinary iron. Old man I can’t make it, and no one I know can make it.”
Although he is not a blacksmith, he knows a little bit, and he also knows many blacksmiths.
He really couldn't think of anyone who could make it.
Lin Xuan said: "Old Man Chen, I didn't mean to use iron to build it, but I want you to try it with wood. Of course, some places still need to be built with iron, just use some good iron. Try it, even if you can't make it, it doesn't matter."
Not to mention the gears and the like must be made of iron, and the chains and the like need to be made of wood.
With the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty, such fine things as chains could not be made with iron.
And wood is much better, and there are many kinds of wood that are very hard, which is completely fine.
He didn't plan to make too many, he planned to make one for Li Lizhi's daily play.
Chen Guangli nodded and said, "Master Hou, can you tell me the specific purpose of this thing?"
Lin Xuan said, "I'll know it with old Uncle Chen."
Lin Xuan got on his bicycle and started riding in the yard.
Chen Guangli looked at the bicycle and was very excited. If he can build this thing, it will definitely be famous through the ages.
Seeing that Chen Guangli was so excited, Lin Xuan stopped quickly and said, "Uncle Chen, are you alright?"
Chen Guangli breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm fine, Lord Hou, this is the first time I've seen this thing, and I need to study it carefully."
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "It's okay, the car can stay here, old man Chen can just study it, as long as it doesn't dismantle it."
