Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Indeed, Li You could guess the purpose of these people coming here.

Their purpose has a lot to do with the reason why Li You has not been in Chang'an these past few years. They all want to use the printing workshops that Li You has deployed across the country.

In the past three years, Li You and his people have established more than a dozen large and small printing workshops across the country, and the ten divisions of the Tang Dynasty basically have branches.

Although these workshops have nothing to do with Li You and the Shence Mansion in name, the backbone of their operations is all cultivated by the Shence Mansion.

In other words, Li You still has considerable influence on these workshops.

Moreover, in order to facilitate management, Li You also set up a printing industry association, which is nominally for exchange and learning, but its real purpose is to further understand and control the operation of these printing workshops.

This time, when these civil servants came to Li You, they hoped that Li You could use his influence to print their upcoming works.

Sure enough, when everyone came to the study, Changsun Wuji took out the newly compiled "Zhenguan Clan Chronicles", Fang and Du took out "Zhenguan Law", and Kong Yingda took out the complete version of "Zhenguan Clan Chronicles". Zhenguan Dictionary.

After the four of them explained their intentions, Changsun Wuji said, "Kong Jijiu, although your "Zhenguan Dictionary" is important and has the meaning of educating all living beings, it is not as good as our clan annals and laws after all."

"Besides, Guozijian and your Kong family both have printing workshops, so you can just use your own."

However, Kong Yingda was not ready to give in. He opened the dictionary, pointed to the first page and said, "How can this be the same!"

"Your Majesty, please look here!"

Li Shimin took the dictionary and looked at it, and immediately understood.

It turned out that in the editor-in-chief, Kong Yingda listed Li You's name first, and he himself ranked behind Li You.

"This dictionary was edited by King Yan, how can I not care about the book I edited!"

Li You was also sweating profusely when he saw that his name was ranked first among the editor-in-chief.

"Kong Jijiu, how can this be done!"

"The king of this dictionary is just mentioning his own thoughts, how can he put his name on the editor-in-chief."

"I appreciate your kindness, but if this matter gets out, the world won't say that I, Li You, are a bully!"

"This dictionary will be handed down for thousands of years. This king doesn't want to bear the infamy of thousands of years."

Seeing Li You's refusal, Kong Yingda also became anxious: "This editor-in-chief was unanimously agreed by all the editors, I see who dares to speak nonsense."

"If it weren't for King Yan's suggestion, there would be no possibility of this dictionary appearing."

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense, see if I won't let the entire Confucianism denounce him!"

Kong Yingda was well known for his stubbornness, and Li You had no choice but to look at Li Shimin and the others present for help.

Li Shimin also shook his head helplessly. In the end, Du Ruhui came out to make a rescue and said, "Kong Jijiu, the editor-in-chief of King Yan deserves to be the editor-in-chief, and you can't bear it."

"It's better to list King Yan as a special advisor, and record his help in detail in the preface. This way, readers of future generations can also understand the contribution King Yan made in this book."

"This dictionary also has King Yan's hard work, so he will naturally take care of it and assist in publishing it!"

"King Yan, don't you think so?"

Li You quickly nodded and agreed: "Of course, don't say that this dictionary also has my king's painstaking efforts."

"Even if I don't have my name, this is something that is beneficial to scholars all over the world, how could I not be happy about it!"

"Don't worry about Kong Jijiu, you hand over the printing plate to me, and I will definitely let all the workshops start to operate immediately."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda immediately agreed with a smile.

However, Kong Yingda was satisfied, but Changsun Wuji beside him became anxious.

"King Yan, you can't treat one more favorably than another."

"This clan chronicle also has your hard work in it!"

"And this clan chronicle is even more important now!"

Changsun Wuji's words were not exaggerated. Today's Datang has basically resolved the external crisis, and the internal family competition has become more intense.

Marriages between aristocratic families became more and more frequent, and in some small places, it even appeared that the royal order of the imperial court was not as effective as a word from the head of the aristocratic family.

If clan annals are not used to re-regulate the clan order, then the situation will become more and more serious, and even enter a situation that the court does not want to see.

In order to weaken the influence of the family, it is inevitable to publish a new clan annals.

However, this time the clan annals ranked those families that had nothing to do with the royal family into the third-class clans. Once it was published, it was bound to receive resistance from many clans.

Therefore, once it is released, it must be spread in a short time, making it an unchangeable fact.

At that time, even if there is dissatisfaction from the aristocratic family, they can only find other places to vent their dissatisfaction.

At this time, the complementary "Zhenguan Law" is needed to restrain the behavior of these families.

In fact, these two books have been completed for a while, and the reason why they have not been fully released is that they are waiting for Li You to appear.

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin also said, "You'er, everything is ready for this matter, and you are the only thing that needs to be done."

In fact, why does Li You not understand this truth? Before he vigorously developed the printing industry, he was actually preparing for this day.

As a modern person, he naturally understands the importance of mastering public opinion.

Compared with modern times, people in this era are more simple and relatively easier to be guided by public opinion, so the power of public opinion will also become greater.

However, Li You also understood that once he used his own power to push this matter, he would inevitably push himself to the forefront.

Then my past three years of keeping a low profile will become meaningless, and my every move will be monitored by these aristocratic families.

And he may be violently retaliated by the family.

However, under Li Shimin's eager gaze, Li You still nodded firmly.

This day will come sooner or later, and it cannot be avoided by hiding alone.

Besides, if the threat from these aristocratic families is not resolved, he will not be able to live a peaceful life as a salted fish in the future.

"Give all the sample books to Erchen, and Erchen will let the secret typesetting of Shence Mansion immediately."

"After the typesetting is completed, it can be launched simultaneously across the country within ten days, and there will be absolutely no leaks in advance."

Now that he has agreed, Li You will do a good job in this matter.

Li You knows the data of all the workshops. As long as the printing plates are in place, it only takes one night to print enough quantities.

Afterwards, even if the aristocratic family blocked the printing, Li You's own workshop could print enough quantities for subsequent needs.

Moreover, Li You also had related clauses in the agreements of various aristocratic families, all workshops must be requisitioned by the court unconditionally, and the requisition time should not exceed three days a month.

If there is any problem after that, the people in the court can also let the people of the court enforce it.

It can be said that Li You has already made a lot of preparations for today.
