"If the scholars of the world knew this news, I don't know how happy they would be."
Li Shimin was deeply moved. He was already in a good mood, and this would directly reach the top, second only to him ascending to the throne of God. That moment of position.
After the advent of movable type printing, it broke the family’s monopoly on books.
Coupled with Wang Jian's innovative papermaking technology, the cost of printing books was greatly reduced, and ordinary people also had the opportunity to buy books and study.
In order to weaken the power of the family members, Li Shimin strongly supported the imperial examination and allowed Jinshi to compete with the family members.
It’s just that books are expensive these days, and those who can study are the children of aristocratic families, and the proportion of poor families is very small.
Therefore, the Jinshi selected by the imperial examination ran counter to Li Shimin's innermost thoughts.
Now that Wang Jian has lowered the price of books, Li Shimin can flex his muscles in the imperial examination.
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to wait until the book is officially printed before mentioning the reward."
"Now that we have just produced a version, the ministers can't see the movable type. The effect of printing."
Wang Jian interrupted Li Shimin who was laughing from ear to ear.
After hearing Wang Jian's words, Li Shimin also recovered from his laughter. He thought for a while and then nodded.
"Wang Aiqing is thoughtful, I will wait for your good news."
Look, this is my good minister.
He regards fame, fortune and wealth as rubbish and only wants to share his worries and seek welfare for the Tang Dynasty.
If Wang Jian knew what Li Shimin was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.
The main reason why he proposed to postpone the reward was that he had just been promoted to the imperial censor today, and the reward would not be as high if he were to be awarded it tomorrow.
It’s better to wait a few days, maybe the reward will be higher.
Secondly, the current movable type printing technology has not yet been perfected, and it is really hard to imagine its effect.
When the time comes, Changsun Wuji and others will jump out to stop him, and they will waste their time arguing.
Li Shimin walked around the research institute, frowned and said to Wang Jian.
"When the technology of movable type printing takes shape, we still need to build a large printing shop, and you will still be fully responsible for it."
"From now on, all the books in the imperial court will be handed over to The printing shop will complete it."
"Wang Aiqing, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders!"
At the end, Li Shimin patted Wang Jian on the shoulder, his eyes full of ambition. .
This research institute is too small. It is okay for research, but there is no space for mass manufacturing.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best!" Wang Jian said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin stayed at the research institute for a short while, praised Wang Jian a few words and then left.
He has a lot to deal with, and he can't stay here for too long.
After Wang Jian sent Li Shimin away, he returned to the research institute and told Ma Zhou.
"Brother Ma, please work hard these days and ask the masters to make more movable type. Printing will begin in a few days."
"Tell the masters that they are done. In the next few days, I will apply for generous bonuses for everyone."
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian both value Zhenguan Research Institute.
In addition to funding from the imperial court, there is also financial support from the East Palace, so the liquidity is very abundant.
"Okay, Brother Wang, I'm going to get busy now." Ma Zhou nodded and then dove into the research institute.
Wang Jian was in a good mood today because of his promotion and the breakthrough in movable type printing.
"Today is a good day, tomorrow is a good day..."
Wang Jian put his hands behind his back, hummed a song, and walked to his office, shaking his head.
"Brother Wang, you are in such a good mood, is there any good news?"
"His Majesty just left the institute with a smile on his face. Is it possible that you have made meritorious deeds again?"

Yu Zhining saw Wang Jian's proud expression and couldn't help but ask.
"It's a small achievement, not worth mentioning." Wang Jian waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Hey, you have made a small contribution in these three days and a big contribution in ten days. How can we live?" Yu Zhining put down the brush in his hand and stopped working for a moment. thought.
He stood up, dragged his tired body to the tea table, waved to Wang Jian and said.
"Brother Wang, come over for tea. You can show me how to move up."
Yu Zhining is not the original team member of Prince Qin's Mansion. , and the Xuanwumen incident did not help Li Shimin.
It can be said that as long as the group of third-rank ministers with the ability to follow the dragon do not die of illness, Yu Zhining can only stop being a fourth-rank official, Zhongshu Shilang.
As for the position of Prince Zhan Shi, although he is a third-rank official, he only has jurisdiction over the small court of the East Palace, which is completely incomparable with the other third-rank officials in the imperial court.
Moreover, Prince Li Chengqian is only 12 years old, and he can only ascend to the throne in the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse.
During this period, his position will definitely change, and he will not be allowed to hold the position forever.
Yu Zhining himself sees it very clearly. He knows that without external support, there will be no changes in 10 years.
Now seeing Wang Jian, a great talent, Yu Zhining also saw an opportunity.
"Okay, I have some free time now. Let's have a cup of tea." Wang Jian said with a smile, and then walked to the tea table and sat down.
When Wang Jian was still Prince Si Zhi, Yu Zhining showed his affection for him and did not dislike his low rank..
Moreover, Yu Zhining is also a supporter of Li Chengqian, so it is beneficial to him to be in a high position.
The two drank tea and chatted openly.
"Brother Wang, I was promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Zhongshu last year, and concurrently served as Prince Zhanshi at the beginning of this year."
"The official career seems to be stable, but I have seen the end, and the future is very bright. I’m afraid it won’t move up for a long time.”
“I am already 42 years old and want to make further progress before I turn 47. I wonder if Brother Wang can give me some advice?”
< p> After Yu Zhining poured Wang Jian a cup of hot tea, he looked at Wang Jian expectantly.He knew that he would not be promoted in a short time, so he wanted to change his official position within 5 years.
"Brother Yu, with official positions of third rank or above, Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, is 58 years old, and Wen Yanbo, the Secretary of the Zhongshu Ling, is 56 years old. The other ministers are relatively young."
"Not to be registered as a householder." The Secretary of the Ministry and the Secretary of the Central Committee are both positions of the third rank. Unless you can make great achievements, your chances are slim."
"After all, there are those above you who are the Secretary Supervisor and the Fifth Supervisor of the Nine Temples. Chief officer, these people are all from the third-rank official position."
Although Yu Zhining holds the post of Zhan Shi of the third rank in the East Palace, he is only the secretary of the fourth rank in the court. As a minister, compared with other people from the third grade, his advantage is not obvious.
Wang Jian took a big sip of tea and saw the frustrated look on Yu Zhining's face, so he comforted him.
"Brother Yu, don't be discouraged. When Wang Gui was serving as the Huangmen Chamberlain, he was promoted to Acting Chamberlain by His Majesty and became a full-time official a year later."
"The imperial manpower When the situation is insufficient, His Majesty can be promoted."
"With this precedent, I believe that with your ability, there will be no problem."
Wang Jian discovered that in Datang. In promotions, sometimes people are not promoted step by step.
As long as he has connections and is valued by Li Shimin, it is not uncommon for him to be promoted beyond his level.
"Brother Wang, you have left out one person, and this person has a higher advantage than anyone else." Yu Zhining shook his head and said with a helpless expression.
"Who is it?" Wang Jian raised his head with curiosity on his face.
"That's you!" Yu Zhining pointed at Wang Jian, and then said in a dumbfounded voice, "If there is a lack of third-grade official positions in the court, wouldn't you, a third-grade imperial censor, be His Majesty's first choice?" "
"Ahem..." Wang Jian coughed twice and smiled awkwardly but politely.
The two chatted about official positions for a while, and then turned to the secret affairs of the DPRK.
During the chat, Wang Jian got an important message from Yu Zhining.
The people in Yushitai are now attached to Changsun Wuji and follow his lead.
