"In what year did you hurt your arm?"
Jiuhua mountain palace. Li Shimin received the letters from the princes and princesses, but focused his attention on a one armed courier.
The Posthouse soldier said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the villain was injured in Zhenguan four years. In those years, the villain was injured by Turkic cavalry during the northern expedition."
"You are also a meritorious minister!" Li Shimin sighed. Datang's defeat of East Turks can be a difficult war. Although Datang has won, it still has a lot of losses.
"Thanks to the gift of the imperial court, the villain can get the post servant's position and make a living." the post servant was injured in the war. He could not do labor, but he could easily complete the work of delivering letters with only one arm, and the salary was good. However, he didn't expect to send letters to the emperor one day.
Li Shimin nodded and asked about the details of the post station communication carefully. After a long time, he waved his hand to reward the post soldier and let him leave.
"Post station communication, my prince's action is really extraordinary?" Li Shimin sighed.
The eldest grandson empress on one side couldn't help but flash a trace of hidden worry and said, "qian'er, willful and independent, the post station is an important weapon of the country. Although it doesn't play a significant role in ordinary days, the key things are of great use, and how can it be changed easily."
Empress Chang sun clearly scolded Li Chengqian. In fact, she was exploring Li Shimin's style. After all, Li Chengqian's post station reform attracted the attention of the whole country. How could she not get the wind.
Li Shimin snorted coldly, "what's the use of saying this now? How can I explain to the whole country if I stop the post station now?"
Now the whole country has enjoyed the convenience of fast communication. If Li Shimin rashly denies it again, I'm afraid people all over the world will not.
"Qian'er is eager for quick success and instant benefit. He just wants to make some political achievements. I hope your majesty will forgive me." empress Chang sun asked.
Li Shimin couldn't help being silent. He had to say that Li Chengqian really surprised him. He sat quietly and watched Li Chengqian reform the post station, just to test Li Chengqian. Originally, he was ready to end for him, but he didn't expect such an unexpected outcome. The post station reform was highly praised.
Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes were frozen, staring at the small stamp on the envelope sent by the imperial court courier. On the stamp, he saw that it was Mozi among the hundreds of schools of thought.
"Do you think this is really the work of gan'er alone? Your good son-in-law can't get rid of it!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.
He had always felt familiar with Li Chengqian's post station reform. Now when he saw Mozi stamps, he suddenly realized that this is not a strong Mozi style.
When he left Chang'an City, he had warned Merton not to make any more moves, but he didn't expect that the boy still couldn't stand loneliness. As a father, he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with his son. Merton could only carry the pot.
Merton in Chang'an city did not know that a small stamp had betrayed him, and he was leading Chang'an city to set off a wind of stamp collection.
"That damned man stole my stamps!" said a law supervisor in the Imperial College, holding an envelope without stamps in his hand.
Because the communication business in Chang'an city is too hot, and the imperial court recruits only a limited number of postmen, large institutions often adopt centralized delivery. The letters of Guozi supervisor students are placed in the concierge. You can find the letters by yourself.
This has caused many people to be happy at sight. When they see the favorite stamps, they can't help starting. Ordinary people don't care if they steal and tear stamps. As long as the letters arrive, it's almost intolerable to meet stamp lovers.
"Isn't it just a stamp? What's the matter?" the companion didn't understand the psychology of the law supervisor at all.
The law supervisor angrily said, "I'm short of one. This time, I specially ordered my family to paste this one when replying to the letter, but I don't know which God killed stole it."
"Isn't it just a penny? But these stamps have been used and have no value at all." the companion shook his head.
The law supervisor shook his head and said, "you don't understand. This is the first batch of stamps in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Its theme is a hundred schools of thought. The painter is the most skilled Mohist in the Tang Dynasty. You can imagine the value."
"Yes! It's said that even mojiazi is also a crazy philatelic enthusiast. Think about it, how can things that can make mojiazi look at be worthless. Besides, even if they are worthless now, they can even appreciate a hundred times over time." another supervisor nodded and agreed. Although mojiazi has graduated from the National Academy of Sciences, for the National Academy of Sciences, Forever is an endless legend.
"The most hateful thing is that I only need one Lao Tzu to set up a set. Now I'm short of success." the law supervisor said painfully.
"I still need Confucius and Mozi."
"I still need Zhuangzi, Han Feizi and Huizi."
……………………
Many supervisors lamented one after another.
"In that case, why don't you go to the post station to buy one?" asked the companion.
The law supervisor said angrily, "those post soldiers are hateful. They don't sell only one. Which one is left for you, unless you spend hundreds of money on a version."
How many stamps are sold is related to the income of the post station. The post station naturally tries its best to let people buy more stamps. No one cares about buying a stamp for a penny, but spending hundreds of money makes many people hesitate. After all, it's not a small amount!
Everyone nodded. Collecting stamps is a hobby for them. If they spend a lot of money, they lose that fun.
Suddenly, the bell rang, and a familiar sound came. The law supervisor was surprised and said, "the post soldier is coming!"
Suddenly, a group of prison students gathered around. Some wanted to see if there were letters from their relatives and friends, and many prison students wanted to see if there were stamps they liked. Whether to ask for them or take the opportunity depends on the situation.
"Ha ha, I finally have Confucius!" the supervisor who got his favorite stamp said with a look of ecstasy. Looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't help welcoming the envy of everyone.
"It's ghost millet again!" many supervisor students looked at the stamps on their letters with dismay.
Suddenly, some students were excited and some students were lost. However, one of them collapsed, that is, the law supervisor who was bent on seeking Zhuangzi's stamps. The stamps in his hand were impressively a landscape painting.
"How could this happen? Are these still stamps? Aren't all stamps from all over the world?" the law supervisor roared with the landscape stamps in his hand.
The Posthouse soldier looked at the furious law supervisor and said with a smile, "don't be angry, scholar. The stamps of hundreds of schools you mentioned are the first generation of stamps. Now they have stopped printing. The landscape stamps in your hand are the second generation of stamps issued by the Posthouse. They are the world famous mountain series of Yan Liben, the most top painter in our Dynasty.
"Who wants the famous mountain series in the world? I want hundreds of schools!" the law supervisor said crazily. He needed one piece of Lao Tzu to collect one set, but he didn't expect the post station to stop production.
"Then you should hurry up. Now all kinds of stamps are out of production. You can't use one less. Then you won't have any if you want." the postman pointed out.
The law supervisor couldn't help but move in his heart. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he immediately released the wind in the Imperial College and was willing to give two Wen to buy a Laozi stamp, but no one was willing to do it.
In the next few days, after the first generation of ZhuZiBaiJia series stamps stopped printing, the whole Chang'an city immediately set off a wave of stamp collection. The price of ZhuZiBaiJia stamps directly increased, especially the price of the whole set of ZhuZiBaiJia series directly increased by five times, and the supply is still in short supply.
Moreover, this trend spread directly from Chang'an city to Datang, and the whole Datang soon set off a wind of stamp collecting.
