‘Pa’, His Majesty Li Er, who became more and more angry, simply threw the pen in his hand: “Come on, beat this bastard out of me.”

Li Muyun was startled and jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Hey, brother, what are you doing!"

"What are you doing?!" Li Er said in a fury: "I am a bastard and ask me what I want to do! I chase after me every day and ask for words, but you ask me what I want to do."

Li Muyun said in surprise: "Brother, this is what you promised at the beginning. You are the lord of the nineteenth century. You can't keep your words away, right?"

Li Erran was silent, opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say a word. Looking back at the beginning, it seemed that this was indeed an errand that he was happy to see the hunt and took on impulse.

Seeing that Li Er stopped talking, Li Muyun waved his hand to the Zhi Jinwu who rushed in, signaled them to go down, then walked to Li Shimin, picked up the pen thrown on the table, and stuffed it back into his hand: "Brother, you are the emperor, you will never refuse to admit your conspiracy, right?"

Li Er did not accept the sentence, and the child carried his hand behind him: "I am a little tired today, so I won't write anymore."

"Don't, brother, as the saying goes, no one can stand without trust. As the leader of the Tang Dynasty, you have the responsibility to set an example. If you retreat because of a little difficulty, it will make people evaluate it. Besides, you promised to complete the manuscript within fifteen days. Now it's ten days, and you are still 20,000 words away."

At this time, Li Shimin really wanted to beat Li Muyun and beat him out with sticks, but when he thought of his big mouth, he probably beat him out today and the rumors of his untrustworthyness will spread in Chang'an City tomorrow.

His Majesty Li Er, who was in a dilemma, was like a miserable writer in later generations. Although he was tired and cramped in his hands, he had to continue, looking at Li Muyun with almost murderous eyes, and took the pen handed in front of him.

Seeing Li Er reluctantly but having to continue, Li Muyun took the initiative to distract him and help him distract: "Brother, I want to make a dictionary, what do you think?"

"What dictionary?" Li Shimin's hand trembled, and a big word was wrong. Li Muyun was so capable of making His Majesty Li Er fearlessly when talking about books.

Li Muyun explained: "It is to collect all the characters in the Tang Dynasty and give the most correct explanation of each character. The name is tentatively designated as the "Zhenguan Dictionary".

"The Zhenguan Dictionary?" Li Shimin paused, turned his head and looked at Li Muyun: "Is this necessary?"

Li Muyun said seriously: "Of course it is necessary. China's culture is profound and profound. Many people have been unable to get a glimpse of the whole picture after spending their entire lives. Just for this word, no one knows how many words we have in China, so I think it is necessary for us to make a dictionary and at least unify the words that constitute the cultural foundation."

Li Shimin frowned slightly without saying anything, and after a while, he said, "Your idea is good, but do you know, if you say what you are, how big a project will it be?"

Li Muyun touched his nose and said with a chuckle: "The task is not small, but aren't there so many censors in the court? They have nothing to do, so it's better to let them do it. In my opinion, they should be very interested in this matter."

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, turned his head and said, "This is not impossible. Since you proposed this idea, why not be responsible for this matter?"

"Me? I can't." Li Muyun shook his head quickly: "Brother, I don't have enough reputation. It's okay to fight this kind of thing. If you are the host, you'd better find someone with a higher reputation, such as Kong Yingda or Wei Zheng. If it really doesn't work, you can go on the battle yourself. For me, it's better to forget it."

Li Shimin also felt that his decision just now was a bit too hasty, and nodded and said, "This is the same, so let Kong Yingda handle this matter. As the 31st generation successor of the Kong family, it would be better for him to come forward."

"Emperor Brother Shengming!" Li Muyun said with a complimentary smile, with a hint of conspiracy in his smile.

Li Er's heart couldn't help but raise it up, and thought about Li Muyun's idea from beginning to end, but did not find any flaws in it. It would be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty but not harmless.

If there is a conspiracy, at most, the price of printing books is more expensive, which doesn’t matter. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and when the book is printed in the future, the person who buys the books will pay for it.

I have to say that Li Shimin is still a gentleman, and he misjudged the insidiousness of Li Muyun.

...

Kong Yingda was very happy, no, I should say that I was happy and didn’t want it.

Since the establishment of Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" in the Han Dynasty, there has been no unified dictionary or dictionary in China. Although Shuowen Jiezi has been re-compiled by people throughout the ages, they still cannot do everything. They only included about 10,000 words, and a large number of rare characters have not been included.

Of course, this does not mean that the editors are not dedicated, but because the information is not smooth. After all, manpower is sometimes poor, and it is difficult for a person to compile a book similar to a dictionary to be comprehensive.

However, Li Shimin paid a lot of money this time and collected manuscripts nationwide. It can be said that all scholars in the Tang Dynasty were compiling a dictionary together. If they waited until the book was completed, they would definitely become a masterpiece. The editor-in-chief of this masterpiece was Lao Kong himself.

Whenever I think of my name being printed on a masterpiece and being passed down through the ages, Lao Kong felt excited. In Li Muyun's words, he felt like he couldn't hold his urine.

Although the words were rough, Old Kong didn't care about these things. After receiving the imperial edict from Li Er, he immediately rushed to Li Muyun's mansion to find the "founder" of the dictionary plan to discuss how to make the next plan.

"Old Kong, you can just be responsible for handling such a thing. Why come to me, an unknown man?" Li Muyun was about to go to his own farm outside the city at this time, but was blocked by Kong Yingda's inside and outside the door.

Kong Yingda, who had just explained the purpose of Li Muyun, was a little displeased and said seriously: "King Xiaoyao, you are the initiator of this matter. If you say it has nothing to do with you, I am afraid it will be a little irresponsible, right?"

Li Muyun smiled and said, "Uh..., I am not the initiator. I just found a word a few days ago. I searched through "Shuowen Jiezi" but couldn't find it. So I had the idea of ​​getting a dictionary. If you insist on calling me the initiator, you would really put me on the fire."

Kong Yingda nodded lightly, not knowing what he meant, but he paused before saying slowly: "Anyway, you can't escape this matter. Even if I don't come to find you this time, I will come in the future."

Li Muyun looked at Lao Kong in amazement, as if he didn't know him. This is just a cheating person, and it has the same effect as the street gangsters.

Seeing that Li Muyun didn't say anything, Kong Yingda showed a smug smile on his face: "How about it, tell me your plans. I have heard that you have asked for a lot of words from Ouyang and the others during this period, and they are almost driving them crazy. Don't you plan to tell me what you want to do?"

Li Muyun blinked his eyes, thought for a while and said, "If Mr. Kong really wants to know, then follow me to the village. I believe you will know when you get there."

"Okay, then let's go and take your carriage." Old Man Kong was not vague and left as soon as he said that, and turned around and got on Li Muyun's carriage.

To be honest, Kong Yingda's behavior completely overturned his impression of the old man in Li Muyun's heart.

In the eyes of Lord Xiaoyao, an old master should have a kind of gentle and gentle personality. He would not change his color if he collapsed in front of him. He would read a cup of tea, a bag of cigarettes, and a newspaper for a long time.

But the person in front of him was as anxious as a fire and his irritable appearance was almost no different from his young man in his twenties.

Just as Li Muyun was stunned, Old Kong had already poked his head out of the carriage: "What are the prince still standing outside to do? Get on the car quickly."

"Oh, get in the car, get in the car!" Li Muyun responded awkwardly, got on the carriage with a sense of satisfaction. With a whip, the carriage that was entrusted from Li Chengqian slowly moved.

On the carriage, Old Man Kong was restless and always wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Muyun closing his eyes to rest, he swallowed the words back.

Sitting beside Li Muyun, he was stunned and looked worried, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the new owner, and then continue to be dazed.

In this way, there was nothing to say along the way. The carriage arrived at Li Muyun's village outside the city half an hour later.

Not long after entering the farm, Old Man Kong was stunned. He saw that there were words hanging everywhere in the manor. Dozens of carving craftsmen were working hard, with piles of tiny wooden strips piled up around him.

"What are they doing?" The old man asked curiously after looking at Li Muyun who seemed to be nothing beside him.

"Their task is to carve all these characters, and each font has to be engraved more than ten." Li Muyun explained to Lao Kong disapprovingly.

But Kong Yingda obviously still didn't understand what he meant. She walked to a craftsman, picked up a small wooden strip, put it in front of her and looked at it again and again.

It was a 'wang' in official script. It seemed that it was written by Ouyang Xun, but Lao Kong really didn't understand why there was only one word. After reading it for a while, he asked Li Muyun: "What's the use of engraving a single word? What do you want to do?"

This time, Li Muyun did not explain anything to Lao Kong, but just made a gesture of asking for help: "Old Kong is a little calmer, you will know later."

In this way, Kong Yingda followed Li Muyun to the back of the village with a lot of questions, and then he saw three busy people.

I saw the three people divided into two groups, one of which was two people. At this time, something was being printed. A thick stack of paper was placed next to them. The content on the top page was: The world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast...

Kong Yingda was clearly aware of this when these people were printing books, but what puzzled him was another person.
Chapter completed!
