Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 38 Huge Books
This scene scared Li Xiao enough!

I can't understand this old man's routine!

Fang Xuanling, who was in charge of the household department, didn't care about how many books in the collection would be damaged. He only counted briefly and then came out and said, "There are 360 ​​state capitals in the country, with 1557 counties under their jurisdiction. If all the [-] books are distributed , so that all states and counties will have ten books!"

"Uncle Fang, where is this going? Ten books in a county is obviously not enough, at least every school-age child should have one copy!"

Li Xiao knew that Fang Xuanling had fallen into a misunderstanding again, thinking that after dividing the [-] volumes, anyone in the county who wanted to read them could borrow and copy them at any time.

But is the purpose of the existence of Xinyi Commercial Bank to allow scholars to copy books?
The price is so cheap, is it worth copying?The cost of copying is even higher!

Changsun Wuji turned the book to the last page, it said, published by Xinyi Trading Company, the retail price was [-] cash.

Immediately a look of shock appeared on his face, "Nephew Niu Xian, is this book worth five hundred coins?"

It's so cheap, isn't it a disadvantage?I'm afraid ink money is more than that, right?And paper labor too!Could it be that Li Xiao has a big conspiracy?

This cannot but make Changsun Wuji suspicious, no one in this world would do such a thankless thing, Wang Mang is humble and humble!
"Master Changsun, how can you use money to measure the affairs of scholars? Besides, the price difference was made up by His Majesty with money from his private treasury!"

Li Xiao guided Li Shimin with a single sentence, and put all the credit on him. Now let the emperor be happy, and when the rewards come later, Li Shimin has the nerve to search?
"Wuji, in order for people in the world to have books to read, I should pay some money!" Li Shimin blushed without panting, and directly put his reputation on his own head. Anyway, after the empress discussed with him, she had already planned to let him Changle and this kid make a pair, and this reputation is part of the dowry gift!
"Your Majesty is wise!" The officials began to sing praises to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's joy could not be concealed by his laughter.

The books all over the floor are no longer paper in his eyes, they are his own political capital!
Once these books are published, Li Shimin's status in the hearts of scholars all over the world will be elevated in vain. Anything wrong with his position, killing his brother and imprisoning his father, is nothing in front of the interests of scholars!
There will be a rich and colorful stroke in the history, popularizing culture, and people all over the world have books to read!

This is a greater contribution than opening up territories!

His achievements are comparable to those of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors!

Merit is one thing, and there is also a family that has caused Li Shimin a lot of headaches.

When the emperor is in power, he must select talents from among scholars to become officials and govern the world.

And all scholars are inextricably linked with the five surnames and Qiwang families.

An ordinary person wants to read, so he can only borrow it. As for the books in the bookstore.

Those are the means for scholars to make a living. They silently write the four books and five classics they have learned, and sell them to bookstores, and the bookstores earn the difference!

And the content is either rotten economics, or the quality is extremely poor, because different people must remember things differently.

If you want to see high-quality ones, or the annotations of famous people, you can only borrow books. Once you borrow books, you can only borrow them from aristocratic families, because only they have them!
They have their own books passed down from generation to generation, and outsiders want to read the transcriptions, they must produce something of corresponding value.

This makes the books of the aristocratic family accumulate more and more, forming a vicious circle.

Now Li Xiao has cracked it with one move, which can help Li Shimin reduce the influence of the aristocratic family on the court, and help a lot!

As soon as Li Xiao's movable type printing technique came out, Li Shimin's position was tainted, he cut off the influence of his family, and left his name in history, it was like killing three birds with one stone!

That's why he looked at his daughter Changle's voluntary situation, and revealed the tone of agreeing to the marriage of the two.

Otherwise, Li Xiao wants to be a white wolf and marry his own woman?dream!
Today's matter was settled, Li Xiao looked at Li Shimin eagerly.

After finishing the work, why are you still stable? Hurry up!

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said solemnly, "Li Xiao, I personally named you Zuoqianniuwei Zhonglang General, Zhongwu General, and the founding man of Qucheng County!"

Everyone was shocked, this reward is too generous!
"His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly spoke to stop him, Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, although he was a high-ranking fourth-rank officer, given Li Xiao's merits, it was all right to give it to him.

General Zhongwu, a military official, has a nice name and doesn't have much influence.

But the founding man of Qucheng County, this is the founding title, which can be hereditary and irreplaceable, and the descendants do not need to be downgraded to be hereditary!
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no knighthood for military merits. If it is done like this now, it will be messed up!
Li Shimin knew Changsun Wuji's worries, "Wuji, Li Xiao's contribution deserves these rewards!

In a few years, I can see that everyone in the Tang Dynasty has books to read. Isn't this the title of Founding County Male? "

Besides, Li Xiao was his son, and many people present knew it.

No matter how high the title of reward is, it still belongs to his Li family?
Li Shimin has said this, and Changsun Wuji can't say anything against it. This movable type printing technique is indeed related to Li Shimin's eternal reputation!
Saying something that makes the emperor unhappy now is purely out of self-comfort!

Satisfied, Li Xiao is very satisfied, an official as old as the old father-in-law, and a hereditary title, what is there to be dissatisfied with!
Li Xiao received the order to thank the emperor, and then looked at the emperor eagerly. Isn't this what he wants most?

Although we didn't say it clearly, everyone knows it well, Lao Li, hurry up!What are you dawdling about?Among my ministers in Changle, Fang Xuanling took a look, why are His Majesty and Li Xiao still staring?

Li Xiao looked hesitant to speak, and Li Shimin was extremely ashamed and annoyed there.

It is said that offering [-] volumes of the Three-Character Classic is a happy event for everyone. Which one did these two play?
Oh, right!

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling smiled and pulled Li Xiao away, "Master, what are you thinking about?"

Fang Xuanling thought of what her son Fang Yiai usually talked about with her.

Changle and Li Xiao are in love with each other, and this should happen. In addition, Li Shimin, regardless of Changsun Wuji's obstruction, insisted on conferring a title on Li Xiao. In Datang, it is impossible to be a princess without a title.

The prerequisite for being a son-in-law is to have a title.

Fang Xuanling whispered next to Li Xiao's ear, "You still think about His Majesty bestowing a marriage on the spot? Your current status, speaking of it, is difficult to handle."

"Uncle Fang, why not, I have worked so hard to create movable type printing, isn't it just for this moment?"

Li Xiao looked confused and angry, what's the matter, is Li Shimin planning to renege on his debt?
I'm going to rely on Li Xiao's account, do you think Li Xiao usually has a playful smile and is easy to bully?

Neither can his father.
