A group of ministers were like children who had never seen the world, each holding a piece of printed paper and looking at it.
They couldn't help but praise loudly.
"With the movable type printing technology and the rice paper from Majiazhuang, the price of books can be greatly reduced in the future. My students in the Tang Dynasty will be blessed."
Wei Zheng stroked his beard, He looked at Wang Jian with admiration.
There is simply no limit to this little guy’s talents.
Judging from the internal affairs talents currently displayed, Wei Zheng feels that Wang Jian can be ranked among the top five, or even the top three, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Li Jing also nodded and said: "Wei Shizhong is right. Movable type printing and papermaking complement each other. It can be predicted that in the near future, our Tang Dynasty will usher in a prosperous age!"
" Congratulations to Your Majesty for creating a prosperous era!"
The surrounding civil and military officials shouted in unison.
Li Shimin’s eyes were shining with stars, and his face was red with excitement.
He waved his hands and said loudly: "Hahaha, all my dear friends, no courtesy, let us work together to create a prosperous world!"
"We will go all out!"
The civil and military officials shouted loudly again.
The prosperous age is not so easy to open.
Thousands of years have passed since ancient times. Except for the rule of Wen and Jing of the Qiang Han Dynasty, there has not been any prosperous era.
Now that Wang Jian was born, Li Shimin also saw a hint of ambition from the calls of the courtiers.
Create a prosperous era!
If he can do it, then all the stains in his past life can be washed away.
Li Shimin was so excited that he wished he could open a large workshop now and start printing books in batches.
Let everyone in the world be able to read and write.
Li Shimin patted Wang Jian on the shoulder happily, the admiration in his eyes almost overflowing.
"Wang Aiqing, you have made another great contribution. I said that I will reward you heavily!"
At this moment, the words Du Ruhui said before his death came to Li Shimin's mind again. .
Wang Jian is a capable minister in governing the country, and he is a pure and kind man, and is loyal to both him and the prince.
Facts have proved that what Keming said was absolutely correct.
Wang Jian pointed at Ma Zhou and a group of craftsmen and said: "Your Majesty, the movable type printing technology is dominated by the prince. Ma Zhou, the director of the institute, is responsible for the specific arrangements. 35 craftsmen are working on it day and night."
"If you want rewards, you should also give them rewards."
Hearing Wang Jian take all the credit, Ma Zhou and a group of craftsmen became anxious, and they spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty, all the movable type printing technology comes from the hands of Dr. Wang Yushi."
"And the difficulties encountered can be solved by him alone."
< p>"In terms of credit, Dr. Wang Yushi has the greatest credit!"Seeing his subordinates shirk credit from each other, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes happily.
He nodded slightly and said loudly: "You don't have to shirk, you are all rewarded."
"Stop, follow me back to Tai Chi Hall to accept the reward!"
A large group of people followed Li Shimin's footsteps back to Tai Chi Hall.
On the way back, Li Shimin also exchanged opinions with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian, and decided to reward Wang Jian and others.
Wang Jian has just been promoted to the imperial censor. He has already been promoted from the third rank official position. The next promotions are Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong and Liubu Shangshu.
Except Wei Zheng, the servant, the rest of the current core positions are all meritorious officials of the Qin Palace.
Moreover, several people, such as Gao Shilian, the Minister of Personnel, Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, and Hou Junji, the Minister of War, were just promoted some time ago.
Therefore, there are currently no vacancies for the actual official positions of the third rank.
They unanimously decided to upgrade Wang Jian to a noble title.
If official positions fluctuate, the title is relatively stable.
As long as one does not commit a serious crime of treason or beheading, the title will basically not be reduced, and it will remain hereditary.
The descendants of Wang Jian can rely on the fiefdom of the title to live the life of landlords for generations.

Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin did not delay, he spoke in person and directly announced the reward.
"Wang Jian innovated the printing technology and benefited the country and the people. He should be regarded as the first to be awarded the title of Duke of Longmen County, with 2,500 households in the city, from the second grade."
"Again Reward thousands of pieces of silk and satin, and thousands of gold and silver!"
Wow~
All the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
So he was awarded the title of Founding County Duke?
Longmen County was also awarded as a fief.
What a favor your majesty shows Wang Jian!
Wang Jian's expression did not change, and he stood up to receive the reward: "Your Majesty, Wang Jian, thank you for your kindness!"
He used to be a third-grade Founding County Marquis, but now he has been promoted to Founding County Marquis. The title of County Duke has been promoted to one level.
Nothing to be proud of.
If Wang Jian’s true thoughts were known to the courtiers, they would definitely be drowned in saliva one by one.
The Tang Dynasty had been established for such a long time, and the people who had received titles were only a few important ministers who had the merit of following the dragon, except for those relatives of the emperor.
As a grassroots man, Wang Jian started from scratch and rose to the position of founding county magistrate in just half a year.
The speed of knighthood and promotion are comparable.
The civil and military ministers on both sides all looked at Wang Jian with envy as he accepted the reward, and many of them also had thoughts of fawning in their hearts. .
Wang Jian is only 18 years old this year and has climbed to this high position by virtue of his own ability.
They really couldn’t imagine how far Wang Jian could go if they were given another three to five years.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Jian who had returned to his original position with a smile on his face, and continued to reward him.
"To Ma Zhou, who serves as the dean of the Zhenguan Research Institute and is responsible for the advent of movable type printing, I will reward him with hundreds of pieces of silk and satin, and hundreds of gold and silver!"
Ma Zhou's face lit up and he quickly stood up to receive the reward: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Ma Zhou knew very well that this time he just followed Wang Jian to drink some soup, which was not enough credit. So that he can be promoted.
And being able to obtain so much wealth was beyond his expectation.
Immediately afterwards, Wang De rewarded 35 craftsmen on behalf of Li Shimin.
Those who performed outstandingly, such as Wu Songzi and Lao Wei, were each rewarded with 10 pieces of silk and satin and 50 pieces of gold and silver.
Each of the remaining 30 people also received a reward of 30 strings.
This is a huge sum of money, enough for them to buy a large house in a mid-range area.
After the court meeting, Li Shimin called Wang Jian, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan to Ganlu Hall.
The first location of Ganlu Hall.
Li Shimin looked at the think tanks on both sides and said with a smile on his face.
"I called you here this time to discuss and decide how to use movable type printing."
"In short, it is the printing of books. Which department will be responsible for it in the future? ! ”
Because there is no special printing method in the Tang Dynasty, books are basically copied by hand.
Therefore, there is no institution dedicated to writing books. Anyone can write a book as long as they are literate.
Now that there is movable type printing, it can no longer be carried out in the previous way. A department must be responsible for the printing of books.
Secretary Supervisor Yu Shinan, as the person in charge of the Tang Dynasty’s collection of books, took the lead in speaking.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Secretaries is responsible for the entry and collection of books. Why not leave the book printing to our Ministry of Secretaries?"
Li Jing, the right servant of Shangshu, smiled and retorted: "So we Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for the Ministry of Education to be responsible for the civil service examinations?
Both of them have their own opinions. .
Li Shimin set his sights on Wang Jian: "Wang Aiqing, you created movable type printing. Tell me what you think."
