After returning from the wooden house, Zhang Chao was enjoying his journey. When he got the printing ink out, when the carvings were released, wouldn’t he Zhang Sanlang become a great hero in the eyes of scholars all over the world? Not to mention becoming famous, he would be a big hit in the printing business every day.

Last time I sold the sugar-making formula to Zhang Yin'er's family, I felt a little distressed afterwards. Although I kept it in my own hands, I didn't know what I could only use in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month. But now with carving and printing, Zhang Chao didn't care about those at once. How could sugar-making be compared to printing? It can not only make money, but also become famous.

He secretly thought about how to protect his industry. Carving printing is not sugar making, and the future prospects are promising, so it cannot be snatched away by anyone. It is easy to make carving boards, but the key is that the printing ink technology must be preserved well. Without good ink, even if Zhang Chao gave them carving boards, he would not be able to print books.

Now he is a founder of the country, the prince is a horse, and the fifth-rank official position, and he is considered to be well-known, and ordinary people dare not touch him. There are only a handful of people in Chang'an City that can make him print his own ideas, including those princes, princesses, concubines and their families.

But Zhang Chao is now the prince's person. Zhang Chao is nothing in their eyes. The prince's face must be given. The only worry is what if the court wants this printing technique when the time comes?

This is a headache.

Zhang Chao felt that he had to have a relationship with the prince first. If the prince came forward for him, for example, Zhang Chao could hand over the printing technology, but the manufacturing technology of printing ink could be retained. If the court needs it, it could be supplied by the Zhang family.

He thought about how to get closer to the prince. The prince let him do horse washing, but he had never visited him yet. Even after his wedding, the prince and the princess gave gifts, but he never thanked him.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chao felt that he should go there. Last time the academy opened, the prince sent someone to come and rewarded twenty taels of gold. Since he decided to go to the East Palace to be an undercover agent, he should be more dedicated. The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the prince, be able to use the power of the prince to protect himself.

The Zhang family's industry is quite large now. Now that they have arrived at the Eastern Palace, the relationship between the King of Qin cannot be used anymore. If they do not borrow the power of the prince, they will not be able to withstand the wolves.

When I got home and told Cui Yingying, Cui Yingying was quite happy. She had a good relationship with the Crown Princess, her cousin. She used to go to the palace with Wang every year to pay homage to the Crown Princess. In her impression, her cousin was very nice, and she was quite gentle.

This time she got married, the prince and the princess gave her very much face.

"Then go today."

"I'll go today, and the gift is not prepared."

"The East Palace is nothing, and it's not lacking. I think it's better to just take a few local products from our village. I'll give it to the prince if I've made my newly compiled three thousand years of scroll as a gift."

The couple arrived in Chang'an and came to the East Palace after many guards.

When the prince heard that Zhang Chao had brought his wife to pay a visit, he put down the book in his hand. He asked someone to invite Zhang Chao to come, and asked someone to lead Cui Yingying to see the princess.

The prince met Zhang Chao in the study.

This is the first time Zhang Chao has seen the prince. He is in his thirties and is very calm and has a very tax-profit look.

After a visit, the prince gave him a seat and Zhang Chao thanked him and sat down.

During the first meeting and after a conversation, Zhang Chao discovered that Li Jiancheng was actually quite charming, straightforward, simple and kind, and also revealed his extraordinary talent in his speech.

This is not the despicable and mediocre Prince Yin who read in history books in later generations, who has always been jealous of his brotherly talents.

Zhang Chao presented Li Jiancheng with the three-character classics he wrote, the Zhang family rules and the first volume of the three thousand years.

"Last time I heard Xuan Chengzuo compile a historical story book, a book that connects history and stories. After listening to it, I was really looking forward to seeing it as soon as possible. I just read some and found that it was really interesting. It is indeed very suitable to read it to the Mengsheng of Bailu Academy."

"Xuan Cheng told me last time that you intend to compile a book of official history from Zhou to Tang Dynasty and write historical figures that record this thousand years. It seems that the title of the book is Zizhi Tongjian?"

Zhang Chao nodded and said, "It is true when you go back to Your Highness. I want to imitate the chronological notation of Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, write about the historical events from the thousand years since King Lie of Zhou to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, record history, summarize historical lessons, and consider the past, and use historical gains and losses as evidence to provide some reference for Your Highness to assist the country and assist in politics. Therefore, this book is named Zizhi Tongjian."

"Do you have a manuscript?" The prince couldn't help but be surprised by Zhang Chao's grand goal and became more interested. Zizhi Tongjian, the title of the book alone is quite grand.

"When you go back to Your Highness, you have only written the first draft of the first volume of Zhou Ji. Today I brought this draft to you. Please correct me."

Zhang Chao handed over the first part he copied to Li Jiancheng to watch.

"Zhou Ji, Zhou Jiyi. He joined Yongshetige, and the mysterious and mysterious were buried in Dun, for thirty-five years. King Weilie. The 23rd year Wuyin, 403 BC.

At first, he appointed Wei Si, Zhao Ji and Han Qian as princes.

Chen Chao said: I heard that the emperor’s duties are greater than etiquette, and etiquette is greater than division, and division is greater than name. What is ritual? It is the discipline and principles; what is division? It is the monarch and minister; what is the name? It is the duke, the marquis, the nobles, and the officials."

Li Jiancheng was very satisfied after reading the first paragraph. Zhang Chao began by writing about ethics, education, laws and regulations, differences between kings and ministers, and names. This is what Li Jiancheng most wanted to see.

He is now the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the crown prince. His brother Li Shimin is the King of Qin, Shangshu Ling, and General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty. However, no matter how high the official position is, he is only a minister. One is the deputy monarch and the other is a minister. He believes that their brothers are not in harmony now, because Li Shimin cannot figure out the difference between the monarch and the minister, or he is unwilling to abide by this position even though he knows it.

Just from this beginning, Li Jiancheng thought Zhang Chao was very good, and this Zizhi Tongjian would be even better.

In later generations, this is called correct viewpoints.

Li Jiancheng likes Zhang Chao who has a positive outlook and clear right from wrong. He feels that he is indeed not wrong. He is right to transfer Zhang Chao to the East Palace to serve as the prince.

I dug up a treasure. I thought I was just a medical skill, but I became famous in Hebei and married a woman from five surnames. The prince brought him into the East Palace, which was mainly based on his name, but actually on his relationship with Cui Zheng. Who would have thought that Zhang Sanlang could write the Zhang family rules of the Three Character Classic, and now he could write a book like this for three thousand years, which is as good as Zizhi Tongjian.

"Sanlang, this book is very well written, you must continue. If you have any needs, just open your mouth."

"Your Highness, your subordinate wants to recommend one person to the prince, but he is a guest in his family. He was once an official and was very talented. The books you read were copied by him. If you write this book, you need to search for many classics and historical materials, and you also need his help."

"What is this person's name?"

"Ma Zhou and Ma Binwang, this year, is twenty-two years old."

Li Jiancheng looked at the manuscript in his hand and the words were indeed well written. It is said that the words are like the person, and the person who can write such good words must be of low literary talent. It was recommended by Zhang Chao again. He thought about it and said, "Since that's the case, I will give him the position of literature as the Zuochunfang Sijing Bureau, and be your assistant, and specifically assist you in writing Zizhi Tongjian. In addition, if you need any historical materials in the future, you can directly go to the Sijing Bureau of the East Palace to review it."

In a word from the prince, Ma Zhou became the literary literature of Zuochunfang, the East Palace, which was from the sixth rank, and reached the top in one step. Zhang Chao originally said that he would ask Ma Zhou for a regular character, just proofread the book. The official character, proofreading the book is only the ninth rank. He did not expect that the prince was so generous, and he directly gave a literary literature of the sixth rank.

The prince is a generous person.

"I thanked Ma Zhou for his appreciation."

"A talented person is very respectful. Sanlang, write it carefully. This book, Zizhi Tongjian Gu, likes it very much. I remember to send it to the East Palace as soon as possible. I will arrange for someone to copy and circulate it for you, so that everyone in the world knows it."

Three thousand years have passed and are only popular reading materials for children's history, and are considered historical stories. But Zizhi Tongjian is the real official history. Throughout dynasties, private history has been strictly prohibited. Historical books must be compiled by officials. Whoever dares to compile history books privately is a serious crime.

But the crown prince is the crown prince, and he has seen it and agreed, so Zhang Chao’s revision of history is an official act.

Li Jiancheng liked this book that promoted positive energy more and more. Finally, he made a personal decision and set up a special Zizhi Tongjian editorial group for Zhang Chao. Not only did he promote Ma Zhou to be the assistant of Zhang Chao from the sixth-rank literature, but he also selected six ninth-rank officials from the Sijing Bureau and the Chongwen Pavilion, and eighteen civil officials to Zhang Chao.

According to the prince's intention, Zhang Chao's responsibility in the East Palace was to lead this group of people in a special way, and then compile Zizhi Tongjian.

The prince even specially distributed 100 taels of gold to Zhang Chao's newly established editorial team, and the subsequent expenses should be reported.

This kind of trust and treatment made Zhang Chao very moved.

After talking for a long time, it took the eunuch to come and remind the meal time was up.

"I was happy to talk, but I forgot the time. I haven't had such a happy conversation for a long time. Saburo stayed to have a meal with the orphans, and we chatted while eating."

The two of them sat at the same table and ate a meal each.

The food is quite ordinary, with three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetarian, which is not as good as Zhang Chao's usual food. One mutton and one goose meat, the vegetarian dish is spinach, the soup is stewed fish soup, and the dishes are all stewed.

It was quite light, and Zhang Chao was a little uncomfortable with it, and it tasted lukewarm, neither anxious nor impatient. Li Jiancheng thought that Zhang Chao had always been so polite and elegant when eating, and even secretly praised Zhang Chao.

The amount of dishes was actually not large. Zhang Chao looked at the prince secretly and found that the prince seemed to have a good appetite. He ate all three dishes, one soup and a bowl of rice. Zhang Chao looked at the food left in front of him, and had to grit his teeth and finally ate them all.

After Li Jiancheng finished eating, he wiped his mouth clean and said, "The porridge and meal written in the Sanlang family rules should be thought to be difficult to come by. This sentence deeply touched Gu. The country has just started to establish a frugal style."

Zhang Chao smiled guiltily. He felt that he was a person who likes comfort, but he could not be considered an exaggerated and wasteful person. But it is obvious that people in this era have different ideas from their own. They like comfort, so they insist that they are extravagant and wasteful.

A person who decorates his home is even more enjoyable than a palace. He eats better than a prince every day, but is not qualified to accept the prince's praise.

“Yes, thrift is what you should do.”

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "There is something that I was going to send someone to tell you. Since you are here today, I will tell you directly. Last time you presented two secret recipes of Baiyao and Alcohol to the court, and they have made great achievements. I heard that you were originally planning to build a workshop by yourself, but alcohol and Baiyao are indeed powerful weapons in the military and country, and they are very important."

"I understand." Zhang Chao, the official of the Eastern Palace, can also call himself a minister to the crown prince. If the crown prince calls himself me, Zhang Chao will claim to be subordinate. If he calls himself an orphan, Zhang Chao will have to claim to be a minister.

Zhang Chao was quite injured in the matter of alcohol and Baiyao, but now so long has passed, he has also tried to open it. At least he has changed into a viscount. If it weren't for these two things, he would probably be a baron at most.

"That's right. The court cannot give it to private management of alcohol and white medicine. But if you just brew some Erguotou, there is no problem. I can give you a prince's order to give you the right to brew and operate, but you can brew less yourself, after all, brewing wine wastes food."

Zhang Chao was stunned, a little unbelievable.

"Your Highness, the best ingredient for brewing alcohol or Erguotou is sorghum, which is usually used as feed for items. Even fruits such as mulberries can be used to make fruit wine, and it will not waste food."

Li Jiancheng shook his head, "You are an expert. If you really don't need to consume food, then there will be no bad effects."

After unexpectedly obtaining permission to make wine, Zhang Chao thanked him happily.

"I have brewed good wine, but remember to give me a few bottles first!" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

Alas, the prince is such a good person! Zhang Chao is full of sighs!

For the prince, giving Zhang Chao a prince's order to make wine is just a small task. But for Zhang Chao, he was relieved of a political order.

His winemaking career can finally begin again, and now he has gained the power to brew liquor. As long as Zhang Chao does not brew high-alcohol or higher alcohol at over 70 degrees, as long as he does not use rice and wheat to make wine, the court will not interfere in his business.

It’s so good to be a prince, so why should I give the prince half of the shares? No, half is a bit too much, give it 30% or 20%. I guess he won’t accept it directly to the prince, so I’ll give it to the prince’s concubine.

The rest will be given to Qin Qiong, Zheng Shanguo, and Li Shiji, and Zhang Chao will take over the remaining 50% of them.

I originally wanted to give Cheng Yaojin and the others shares, but when I thought that they were generals of the Qin Palace after all, and now I am a member of the Eastern Palace, Zhang Chao finally let it go.

I believe Cheng Yaojin and the others will understand it. At most, I will give them more Erguotou Day gifts to their family in the future.

In the last few days of this month, Muzi plans to explode tomorrow. It depends on everyone's support at that time. If everyone can be more powerful, there will definitely be five or six. If you are more powerful, it is possible to make seven or eight. Even if you are willing to make more powerful, Muzi will be more nine or ten times even if he works hard.

It will be on the shelves soon, with orders of 4,500 and orders of more than 7,000. It can be said that the results are a bit beyond Muzi's expectations. But this month's update is also very hard to update, and it can be more than 500,000 words at the end of the month, and 500,000 words. I really tried my best to update. When I wrote this, it was 4:30 in the morning, and Muzi was not asleep. It was a bit regrettable that I didn't win the monthly ticket prize this month, and I didn't win the historical monthly ticket prize and the new book monthly ticket prize, both of which were two or three places apart.

Tomorrow may be the start of double monthly tickets for National Day, so Muzi plans to fight again. I hope that those who have monthly tickets will be given monthly tickets, and those who don’t have subscriptions can subscribe. Next month, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter completed!
