"It's finally the holiday..." Wang San laughed and happily jumped out of the sheep oil candle workshop. He then looked back at Chang Gui and asked, "Chang Gui, tell me who will win against Duke Tang this time?"

"You want to buy lottery tickets again..." Chang Gui walked out of the workshop door with a smile, holding a lunch box in his hand.

"Nonsense... Of course I have to buy it, Your Highness King Qi said, buying lottery tickets is for those poor children who have no books. I can give the children a piece of paper for two cents at a time. I am doing good deeds." Wang San smiled.

"Tsk..." Chang Gui looked down upon him: "This is the excuse for you to get high bonuses..."

"Oh... don't teach me a lesson. Quickly analyze it for me. How should I buy it? How many goals can the Hu Ben Army compete with the Duke of Tang this time?

If the analysis is correct, I will invite you to eat roast duck."

"Roasted duck..." Chang Gui smiled and shook his head and said, "One roast duck is not good, at least two, and there must be Coke."

"What...Cola..." Wang San frowned and looked at Chang Gui with a little speechless look: "Now a bottle of Cola has been fryed to a great deal. You are going to squeeze my money dry, but Chang Gui, you must help me with the big shot once."

As he finished speaking, Wang San and Chang Gui came to the small pavilion sold at the football lottery. A very small pavilion with a staff member sitting inside. The lottery was printed with woodblock printing.

What we need to explain here is that there was no woodblock printing in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

The so-called woodblock printing is the technology of engraving pictures and texts on the plate materials for printing. Its development in China has gone through several stages from seals, ink rubbings to carved plates, and then to movable type plates.

For the printing of woodblocks, wood with fine and solid texture, such as jujube, pear wood, etc., the wood is then sawed into pieces of wood, written on the thin paper, and pasted on the wooden board. Then, according to the strokes of each character, carve it into a positive text with a knife, so that the strokes of each character protrude on the board. After the wooden board is carved, you can print the book.

Woodblock printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty and was widely used in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Even though movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty, woodblock printing was still commonly used.

It is mainly movable type printing technology. There is a problem with movable type, so it is not as good as woodblock printing technology... After solving the problem of movable type, movable type printing technology will be used.

Woodblock printing. When printing a book, first dip a brush with ink and brush it on the carved board. Then, cover it with white paper on the board, and gently brush it on the back of the paper. Take down the paper, and print it on one page. After printing one page after another, it is bound into a book, and a book is successfully printed. This printing method is because it is carved and printed on the wooden board and then printed, so people call it "woodblock printing".

Li You is now going to develop woodblock printing, but because it was the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the early Tang Dynasty. At this time, books were precious because there was no good printing technology.

The circulation of books nowadays mainly depends on hand-copying. During the Tang Dynasty, bookstores were set up. There were book copyists who specialized in related work, but their work efficiency was still very low and they could not promote a large number of books. Since Li You wanted to do education, he could not avoid printing.

If Li You were in other dynasties, he would have been printing, especially movable type printing. However, in the Tang Dynasty, Li You's movable type printing was best for lead movable type, other movable type, such as wood movable type, clay movable type... Although it can be printed, it can't be printed much, and it is not as good as woodblock printing.

Li You now uses printing lottery to provide pre-practice for future printing books. Li You was helpless. He now has skills, but he can't find a craftsman, so he can only take it step by step.

"How much to buy, how much to buy..." When he arrived at the door of the Football Lottery Pavilion, Wang San looked at Chang Gui with some nervousness and asked.

Chang Gui is very powerful. His understanding of football exceeds many people. Of course, I don’t know whether this is an understanding of football or the IQ of Chang Gui.

In the opposite way, I guessed all the games I said correctly, but Chang Gui’s guess was not the kind of person who lost and who won. Chang Gui accurately stated the number of goals in the game, which is what to compare with.

If it were once, then Wang San could still think that the other party was guessing nonsense, but Chang Gui, a guy who guessed correctly seven times in a row, was shocked by Wang San. He first brought Chang Gui's former friend to the altar and gave Chang Gui the benefits he gave every day.

Chang Gui wanted to help his younger brother and sister at home, so Wang San helped Chang Gui take the shift. Chang Gui had no time to get food, so Wang San helped queue up to get food. That was to help Chang Gui as much as possible. But he helped so much, so that Chang Gui could help himself at critical moments.

Today's critical moment is finally here. Today's game is the opening game of the Chang'an League. The strongest Hu Ben Army fights against the strongest Duke's Mansion... This time there is a big prize in the football lottery. As long as you guess the score correctly, you will draw a lucky person from the most accurate one hundred people. This lucky person will get an additional 1,000 yuan of bonus.

One thousand guan, Wang San has already thought about it. As long as he really wins this time, he must give half of it to Changgui. No matter whether Changgui is willing or not, Wang San must give it to him.

Chang Gui looked at Wang San's anxious look and his mouth moved slightly: "Three to three..."

"Three to three...is a draw?" Wang San immediately looked at Chang Gui and asked, "How did you know?"

But Chang Gui smiled and said, "If you believe it, buy it; if you don't believe it, don't buy it. Don't ask me how I know..."

When Chang Gui said this, Wang San didn't know what to say, so he said in disappointment: "I'll buy it, I'll buy it..." However, Wang San, who left in disappointment, didn't know how much Chang Gui liked football. He dreamed of playing football, but unfortunately, Chang Gui's burden was too heavy. If Chang Gui Yao was playing football, he had to start over.

But there are no other strong laborers at home. Chang Gui left, who will carry the banner of the home?

This is Chang Gui's helplessness, so Chang Gui can only like football silently and never dare to show his likes. Others don't know how much Chang Gui knows football, nor do they know that Chang Gui often gets up to practice football at night. Of course, Chang Gui's ball is not football, but rattan ball.

Changgui can keep throwing the ball and keeping it from falling to the ground.

But Chang Gui thought no one knew his skills, but Chang Gui could not have imagined that his talent for football had long been seen by a little guy.

And this little guy has already set his sights on Chang Gui.

"Buy it..." Wang San walked over and smiled at Chang Gui and shook the football lottery in his hand.

"Then go back..."

Wang San nodded, but when he walked to a braised pork stall, Wang San took out ten cents and said, "I'll buy some braised pork, go to my house tonight, after dinner, go to the football stadium to watch the practice..."

After thinking about it, Chang Gui said 'um': "But, I want to go back and say something to my mother."

"Of course, if you bring half of the braised pork back, it will also make the little guys happy. You, a brother, know how to save money and buy two or three times a month. The little guys secretly complain about you many times."

Chang Gui smiled slightly and did not refute. You should know that the Chang Gui family is different from the Wang San family. Chang Gui's family has no father, and everything is Chang Gui's mother. Chang Gui's mother is not in good health, so Chang Gui's savings. Although life is better now, she still needs to save food and clothing... Although these braised meats are not much money, Chang Gui has never bought them.

The Wang San family is different. Wang San’s parents are both here, and his father is still working in Dunhuafang. His mother works in the canteen and her living conditions are much better than that of Changgui’s family, and it is basically incomparable.

Therefore, Wang San is more generous in the money he can use. At least he only pays half of his monthly salary and goes home, but the often expensive monthly salary is the expense of the whole family for one month.

Chang Gui and Wang San each brought a portion of braised pork, smiling and hooked their shoulders and putting their backs on their backs.

Just when Chang Gui and Wang San returned home, about five hundred meters away, two little girls, one big and one small, were playing with kites with Yan San, and the two girls were Li Mingda and Li Heng.

Li Heng is now Li Mingda's little tail, calling out to his aunt one by one. Of course, this aunt is not in vain. Li Mingda said to his niece with all his heart and the best things will be given to his niece.

The two of them now have to eat at the same table and sleep at the same bed, like a pair of good-looking sisters.

But just as the two were happily flying kites, the inner official Yang Qu walked to the two little ones with a smile.

"Old slave Yang Qu pays homage to the princess..." Yang Qu likes Li Mingda because Li Mingda is sensible. When other princesses see Yang Qu, they will cover their noses and leave. Only Li Mingda is very close to Yang Qu, and sometimes they will act coquettishly in Yang Qu's arms.

This inner official... is castrated, sometimes he can't hold his urine. In this way, his body will have an unpleasant smell, so the inner official likes to bring fragrant powder to cover up the smell on his body.

Later, Li You's perfume became the favorite item for the official, but the price was too expensive. However, Li You would give it to Li Shimin's confidant like Yang Qu.

"Official Yang... Why are you here? Did you watch me fly a kite?" Li Mingda smiled after seeing Yang Qu, but the most attention was still on the kite.

"Yes... I think Your Highness the Princess is really amazing. This kite is so high... But I came here today to help His Holiness call you."

"Class...the father called me...that kite will not be released anymore, let's go to the palace..." Li Mingda was still very obedient. As soon as he heard that Li Shimin called her, he would go to the palace immediately.

But at this moment, Yang Qu smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness the Princess doesn't have to enter the palace... Your Majesty is here."
