Chapter 37: Crazy Printing
Tell Lao Zhou and the others that the metal movable type and the corresponding ink are all sealed up, and I can still use them! "

"Thank you, thank you master, I will go and urge the apprentices to work harder!"

Every workshop in Niuzhuang is working overtime, full of vitality!
After discussion by several people in Xinyi Commercial Bank, Li Xiao set the price of the Three Character Classic at [-] Wen, a price that ordinary people can accept.

But reading has never been cheap, and the price can be equivalent to half a month's wages for ordinary people.

The heat is fading away, and the autumn wind is refreshing!

The printed [-] copies of the Three-Character Classic were loaded on ten carriages, escorted by Li Xiao himself, and drove slowly from Niuzhuang to Taiji Palace.

The date of delivery has been brought forward, which is what Li Shimin is most willing to see. He summoned his capable ministers and officials to wait in Tai Chi Palace early.

The old god Li Shimin was sitting on the chair outside the hall, and the officials could only wait quietly at the bottom.

Everyone didn't know what Li Shimin was playing today, but just looking at Li Shimin's smile from time to time, I am afraid that something good is about to happen!

Li Gang is the only one who has a seat besides Li Shimin, but he is still dissatisfied with Li Shimin"

"Your Majesty, the old minister still has a lot of things waiting for him, what is it called if he has to be brought here!"

"Don't worry, old man, I will never let you down today!
And the things you have been busy with have been settled, and you can relax in the future. "

Li Gang looked at the boastful Li Shimin, and laughed angrily, "Could it be possible that His Majesty can conjure up countless volumes of the Three Character Classic, covering all states and counties in an instant?"

"Hehe, the old man is right!" Li Shimin said brightly. The three-character scripture made by Li Xiao, Wang Gonggong had already shown Li Shimin a sample, so Li Shimin said this sentence with confidence.

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and Li Jing looked at each other, it turned out to be this matter!

No wonder so many people are called here, this is Li Shimin trying to pretend to be aggressive, and he wants to attract people to watch!

Don't be embarrassing!

Changsun Wuji pulled Fang Xuanling and whispered underneath, "Why are you making winks?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the curious eldest grandson Wuji, "There are some things, don't inquire about them! You know everything you know!

If His Majesty wanted to speak, wouldn't he speak up himself? "

"Hey, old Fang, did you drink too much today? Or did Mrs. Jealousy give you a face when you went out?" Changsun Wuji heard Fang Xuanling hit him, and he was also unscrupulous, and directly blamed Fang Xuanling's daughter-in-law. brush!
"Tell you, don't mention her to me, be careful I'm in a hurry with you!"

Li Gang, who was stupefied by Li Shimin, didn't know how to respond.

"This..." Li Gang was speechless, is this emperor talking big now? "I want to see who has the ability to write thousands of Three Character Classics!"

Li Shimin was about to continue bragging, when the prince entered the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, Li Xiao has entered the Taiji Palace with a carriage."

"Okay, tell the guards to let him go, and bring the things here directly! You also go to meet them!"

"This matter has something to do with Li Xiao?" Li Gang reacted. Li Xiao is really one of the people who he can't understand. shaved ice.

It is not an exaggeration to say that all-round talents!
When ten carriages drove slowly to the front of the hall, Li Shimin stood up and waved his hand, "Move them all down!"

The guards stepped forward to help, and quickly unloaded the books, which were neatly arranged in bundles of ten in front of the hall.

Although Li Shimin was prepared in his heart, he was still taken aback by this scene. There were ten carts, and the hall was full!
"Everyone come forward and have a look."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Gang couldn't help but stepped forward to read it. He is a book addict. Now that there are so many books here, the huge shock is coming. How can he wait!
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was ridiculed, also stepped forward quickly to see what kind of medicine Fang Xuanling and the others were selling in the gourd!

After reading a few books, I found that they were all three-character classics, and each book had exactly the same font!
Holding the book, Li Gang looked at the exquisite tailoring and the faint scent of ink, and was amazed for a moment, "This is amazing, why can the characters in every book be the same?"

Changsun Wuji quickly checked randomly, and stood there blankly, "Why are there all three-character scriptures, why are there so many volumes?
Li Shimin was full of doubts, and when he wanted to pretend to be coercive, he thought that the person involved was trying to save face.Turning Li Xiao out of the corner of his eyes, he said with a smile.

"Master Zan is here to explain to everyone present."

Li Xiao made a bow, since Li Shimin gave himself the opportunity to pretend to be aggressive, God will not take it, and he will be blamed instead!
A pair of robes said loudly to the crowd, "Uncles, at His Majesty's request, Xinyi Trading Company did its best, spent countless manpower and financial resources, and took more than a month to finally print [-] copies of the Three Character Classic!"

"It was hard."

"What is printing?" Li Gang's focus was obviously different, and he wasn't afraid to interrupt Li Xiao.

Although Li Gang is concerned about the number of these books, he is more concerned about how to produce so many books in such a short period of time!

Since tens of thousands of three-character scriptures can be created, what about the Analects?What about the Four Books and Five Classics?

Li Xiao was interrupted by Li Gang to cast a spell, as if he had eaten twenty flies!

Li Xiao coughed twice, sorting out his thoughts, "Printing, simply put, is movable type printing!"

Before Li Gang and the others interrupted him, Li Xiao continued, "Uncles must have several private seals in their hands, but why haven't you thought about writing a word on each seal, then lining them up, and covering them on paper at the same time? , Does this cover a complete sentence?"

"What's the use of this? I have two seals, each engraved with two sentences, 'A gentleman of Tian Xingjian strives for self-improvement, and a gentleman of earth-shaking power conveys things with virtue'. They are often stamped together, so what?"

Before Li Gang could figure it out, the white beard was messed up by him.

Li Xiao was really worried that the old man would finish his beard, "Grandpa, what I said is that only one character is engraved in a chapter. After all the commonly used characters are engraved, you can find out what you want to print directly. After arranging the order, use a tool to clamp it. It’s enough to cover it once, and I want to cover other content next time.”

"Got it, got it, I got it!"

"That's right!" Li Gang clapped his hands, "Why didn't the old man think about it? Why have so many scholars and people who use chapters never thought of this problem?"

"If this method had been thought of earlier, countless ancient books would not have been damaged. The ancient books in His Majesty's Hongwen Museum are naturally decaying at a rate of dozens every day! What a wealth this is being forgotten by history!"

Li Gang burst into tears as he spoke.
