Chapter 246 Entering the Zhao family’s door on New Year’s Eve

It’s really hard for Li Jing to imagine.

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

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

Even the printing workshop did not help Wangyou Bookstore.

But unfortunately, Zhao Chen's bookstore actually produced so many books today.

This is just too hard to believe. .??.

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

"Even if you have enough paper, you can't carve the contents of the book on the bamboo slips so quickly."

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

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

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

They even had suspicions in their minds as to whether Zhao Chen had some advanced printing method.

Seeing that everyone was so curious and even impatient, Queen Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a look of relief.

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

All of this was done by Zhao Chen alone.

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

But in the end I endured it.

But the joy in my heart can no longer be restrained.

Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was full of things to say at this moment.

After all, he was the one who witnessed Zhao Chen developing movable type printing in front of him.

"Um, princes and empress, I can explain this printing matter." Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and held hands with everyone.

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

"But the Ministry of Industry helped carve

Engraving the contents of a book and printing it on paper? Changsun Wuji also asked.

Neither Wei Zheng nor Li Jing spoke, but they also cast questioning glances at Duan Lun.

They also felt that Zhao Chen's bookstore could print so many copies in such a short period of time because of the help of the Ministry of Industry.

Otherwise, why would Duan Lun say that he could explain.

Queen Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, her brows and eyes filled with relief.

"How could our Ministry of Industry be of such great help? It was the Marquis of Zhao County himself, who came up with a set of movable type printing and engraving plates..."

"Movable type printing and engraving? What is that?" Before Duan Lun could finish his words, he saw Fang Xuanling standing up with curiosity on his face.

Changsun Wuji also had the same expression.

Li Jing and Wei Zheng were staring at Zhao Chen closely.

What Duan Lun meant just now was that Zhao Chen himself invented a new printing method.

Is it called movable type printing?

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

There was a hint of pride in his words.

Several people present were slightly startled when they heard what Queen Changsun said.

After a while, they realized that Queen Changsun had actually known about this for a long time.

That is to say, the emperor also knew about it a long time ago.

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

The boy from the bookstore went to the backyard and brought a small set of ink pads with small characters and placed them on the table in the center of the living room.

As soon as everyone saw the small characters on the seal, they immediately jumped up.

Even someone as old as Li Jing gathered around the table.

He stared at the row of prints in front of him

Clay small print.

With just one glance, everyone already understood how this thing was going to operate.

It happened that the boy had just brought paper and ink.

Then I saw Fang Xuanling pick up a piece of paper and apply ink with small characters on the ink pad.

The paper is printed slowly and then slowly lifted up.

Then I saw a neat row of small words immediately appearing on the paper that was originally empty.

Then adjust the order of the small characters in the ink pad.

Then there is a new row of sentences.

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

Fang Xuanling never thought that the printing process would be so convenient.

Just rearrange the order of the fonts and you can easily print new sentences.

This is comparable to engraving on bamboo slips and then printing them, which saves an incredible amount of time!

This thing is really amazing.

"Good guy, I really opened my eyes today. There is such a magical method in the world." Li Jing even called him a good guy.

The look he looked at Zhao Chen became more and more satisfied.

I was thinking about whether Zhao Chen and his daughter should get married as soon as possible, so as not to be coveted by interested people...

"The Marquis of Zhao County is a great talent. This invention will benefit the country and the people. Madam, since the Marquis of Zhao County calls you my aunt, why don't we kiss you? Princess Jinyang has also reached the age of marriage, so why not..."

Li Jing was worried, but he never thought that Changsun Wuji, a shameless guy, would directly persuade Queen Changsun to betroth Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang to Zhao Chen.

Li Mingda's nickname is Sizi, and she is the most beloved princess of the emperor and the empress besides Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.

Betrothing her to Zhao Chen, Li Jing felt that Changsun Wuji was provoking him.

Doesn't he know that his daughter has fallen in love with Zhao Chen?

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

.

"What Changsun Pushe said is wrong. Princess Changle is even older. I think it would be better to betroth Princess Changle to Zhao Chen. This would be a better match. What does Changsun Pushe think?" Li Jing immediately retorted to Changsun. Wuji.

The purpose is to catch Changsun Wuji's sore spot.

After all, it has been so long, and there is still no answer to the emperor's previous promise to betroth Princess Changle to Changsun Chong.

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

Otherwise, what should his eldest son, Sun Chong, do?

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

He glared at Li Jing fiercely and turned his head away, not wanting to look at him again.

Li Ruoshuang frowned, feeling a strong crisis at this moment.

Even though he was standing here, they actually arranged a marriage for Zhao Chen in front of him.

Do you really think you don’t exist?

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

"puff--"

As soon as Li Ruoshuang said these words, Wei Zheng, who was still drinking tea and watching a movie, couldn't hold it back and spurted it out.

I have known for a long time that the daughter of Li Jing's family is tough, but who knew that she would say such words in front of so many people.

Really...

"Ahem, you are really a tiger girl who dares to fight and charge." Wei Zheng coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

Li Jing was also confused by his daughter.

He was obviously quarreling with that old guy Changsun Wuji, because Changsun Wuji couldn't let Princess Changle marry someone else.

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

Li Jing thought he could speak impeccably, but his daughter's words made him unable to answer.

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

What a shame!
