Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

Listening to Zhao Ji talking about interesting things, Li Shishi's eyes lit up and she kept asking, "What happened to the mermaid? Is Snow White as beautiful as me?"

In the Song Dynasty, there were not too many entertainment activities. The most popular ones were ditty songs, which were written by lyricists. Most people could not appreciate them. And those songs are very concise, not a story at all, but a kind of lyric.

Hearing these stories told by Zhao Ji, Li Shishi quickly became extremely novel, and at the same time admired Zhao Ji extremely, how could he know so many novel things?

"Your Majesty, you have to tell me a story every time you come!" Li Shishi took Zhao Ji's arm and put it in front of him, and kept dawdling.

Of course, the gun will go off, and soon Zhao Ji will strip Li Shishi, and he will pounce on...

"Your Majesty "Six Eight Zero"..., you, you tell stories..."

Zhao Ji is in a good mood, how can he still speak at this time, and he is not in the mood, "Okay, okay...

It's good to say that, he didn't speak at all, his mouth and hands were occupied...

It wasn't until an hour later that Jin was called to withdraw his troops, and the two of them were lying there, their chests heaving...

At this time, Zhao Ji was in the mood to continue telling the story, touching while talking, which was a lot of fun.

When Zhao Ji went back a few days later, he found that Li Shishi was holding some paper for him to watch. Zhao Ji was surprised to find that it was the story he told. And Li Shishi has already written a stack of paper, using a quill pen invented by Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, I have written all these down. Such a good story should be known to everyone in the world, and let them all publicize His Majesty's erudition and talents!" Li Shishi's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something interesting and was very interested.

Zhao Ji is a little embarrassed, these stories are not his original, many of them are foreign fables. If this guy let others know, wouldn't he say he was plagiarizing?

"Ahem, don't use my name for this, it's not good!" Zhao Ji found a reason, in fact, he was afraid that future generations would scold him.

Li Shishi pursed his lips and muttered, "What's wrong, your Majesty Wen's martial arts is unparalleled in the world, and you are afraid of others' jealousy?"

Zhao Ji is a little embarrassed, he is a traveler, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are inherited from Song Huizong, but he practiced martial arts himself later, "I was ordered by the sky, and I am the most glorious person in the world, so I don't need to care about some false names, or Let others show off!"

Looking at Li Shishi, Zhao Ji showed a smile, "By the way, why can't you be a female writer?"

Li Shishi widened his eyes, pointed to himself and said, "Your Majesty is talking about me?

"That's right, it's you," Zhao Ji nodded at Li Shishi's forehead, "You see that your little head is filled with many novel ideas, and you have a strong thirst for knowledge, and these are all written by you. Post it in your name!

Li Shishi was overjoyed, of course she could see that the vitality of this kind of story would spread throughout the Song Dynasty once it came out, and her name would be famous for eternity...

"I, can I really do it, but this is what Your Majesty came up with?"

Zhao Ji shook her head and pinched her nose, "What's yours and mine, do we still use it so clearly? Yours is mine! 55

Hearing this domineering declaration, Li Shishi smiled sweetly, "Chen and concubine follow the order!

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Of course I'm looking for someone to copy it!" Li Shishi was very surprised, "The slave family plans to recruit fifty people, because these are relatively short, and they can be copied in a few days!

"Copying?" Zhao Ji was surprised. He remembered that movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty. Wasn't it popular yet?

Li Shishi was surprised by Zhao Ji's reaction, "Of course I also want to use the engraved version, but that's too slow, and the cost is higher than hiring someone to copy it!

"No no, I mean movable type printing, haven't you heard of it?"

Li Shishi shook his head, she really hadn't heard of it.

Movable type printing was invented by Bi Sheng, a native of the Northern Song Dynasty. The main reason is that the imperial court did not pay attention to it, and always felt that the copper engraving plate was clearly printed, and there was no need to change it. The most important thing was that the ruling class believed that ordinary people did not need to be literate.

The more ignorant the people are, the easier it will be to rule, so something as good as movable type printing is put aside.0

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, you'll know soon. You can go to the printing and bookstore and ask them to engrave you, and then I will let all the state capitals promote these books, and soon you will be famous!" Zhao Ji laughed Hehe.

Li Shishi shook her head, she had her own thoughts, "Your Majesty, this matter should not go through the librarian, lest others make irresponsible remarks!"

Speaking of which, many people in the court now have rumors about Zhao Ji going out of the palace to meet Li Shishi, and they don't know which bastard is always himself. Sometimes Zhao Ji becomes ruthless, and if he catches the opponent, he will slap him!

"Alright, but you're not very good at movable type printing, I'll find someone to do this!

Zhao Ji asked Xiao Lizi to recommend a little eunuch who was in charge of the books, and then taught him how to do movable type printing. He also asked the little eunuch to go outside the palace to open a printing shop. After half a month of preparation, it has already opened and began to undertake various private printing.

The first thing I received was, of course, Li Shishi's task. According to the market price, a book with more than 100,000 words required five hundred taels of silver. However, the use of movable type printing will greatly reduce the cost, and a book is only a tael of silver, although it is also expensive, after all, it has greatly reduced expenses.

Li Shishi printed a thousand copies at once, which was not a large number when she thought about it.

At the same time on March 2, Wu Guangyong, a big businessman in the capital, held a grand auction. It is said that there will be a batch of glazed wares at the auction, as well as many novel things. Many wealthy businessmen and royal palace nobles have obtained Invited, it is said that also invited the present Holy Master.

All of a sudden, this auction is crowded by everyone. It is a great honor to be able to sit on the same table with His Majesty. Those who did not get the invitations tried their best to get the invitations. Of course, this incident was actually organized by Li Shishi, and Wu Guangyong understood it when he saw Li Shishi with a eunuch in the palace.

He had long heard that His Majesty favored Li Shishi, and it seemed true.

Li Shishi now represents His Majesty, and Wu Guangyong is very happy to start organizing.
