Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

But he is a descendant of Confucius after all, and he is indeed more talented. The textbook Li Ke compiled will not be discarded because of hostility.

This five classics is just, and the great thing is that it annotates the five classics!

It means, collecting hundreds of thoughts, interpreting and interpreting the content of the Five Classics!

In the past, when reading books, you needed your teacher to explain to you the meaning of these contents in the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise, it would be difficult for you to understand.

But this book compiled by Kong Yingda directly compiled the meaning of every sentence for you!

And it's not his own understanding, but the understanding of various schools, and finally converged into the most reasonable explanation.

It can be said that this examination textbook has completely made Confucian classics concise and practical.

As long as this book is released, it will definitely win unanimous praise from scholars all over the world!

As the editor and author of this book, Li Ke's status in the hearts of readers will naturally rise!

However, Li Shimin probably hasn't asked Kong Yingda to edit this book, so this book is equivalent to his original creation!

Thinking that he had taken the credit of Kong Yingda, Li Ke suddenly felt better.

Anyway, Kong Yingda and him are enemies, and it is indeed a joy to use the enemy's things to make a name for himself!

"Is the content requested by the king printed on the cover of the book?"

Li Ke immediately looked at the head of the printing workshop and asked a very important question.

"His Royal Highness, everything has been printed according to your requirements."

"All the books are printed with the words published by Wu Wangfu, and the words edited by Wu Wang are also printed on the Five Classics."

The head of the printing workshop nodded immediately, and brought a few books for Li Ke to check.

Li Ke glanced quickly, and found that he saw these words in a conspicuous place, and nodded in satisfaction.

Don't underestimate these words, in fact, these words can play a big role in the future!

Every reader will remember that it was the books printed by Li Ke that gave them the opportunity to read!

Li Ke's name is like a seed deeply rooted in their hearts. When they grow up, they will be a huge force for Li Ke!

In particular, Kong Yingda's Five Classics, which Li Ke 'stealed', allowed many poor students to study at home without having to go to Chinese studies.

For poor students, this book is of great significance!

They will be extremely grateful to the editor of this book, that is, Li Ke!

And wait until these scholars grow up, learn something, take the imperial examination, and get good grades.

It will naturally go to Li Ke's side.

Except in modern times, actors can stand on the heads of scholars.

Throughout China's thousands of years of history, the status of scholars is extremely high, even opera singers are not worthy of lifting shoes for scholars!

And once there are so many scholars supporting him, then he is basically sure of winning.

"In the future, we will still continue to print books. If the production capacity is not enough, we will expand production, and if we don't have enough manpower, we will recruit more people!"

Li Ke nodded, and then explained to the head of the printing workshop.

Anyway, many people are now switching from burning wood to coal, so the saved trees can be used to make paper.

Although there are many of these books, they are still too few for Datang.

"¨Yes, Your Highness!"

The head of the printing workshop nodded immediately.

"All the books are transported to the Governor's Mansion."

After Li Ke explained, he left the printing workshop.

After he returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he called the officials in charge of education in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

"The two of you will each receive two copies of the Four Books and Five Classics, and one copy of the Five Classics will be distributed to government-run Chinese schools for free."

Li Ke said directly to the two of them.

"Two books of the Four Books and Five Classics, one of the Five Classics is justice?"

When the two heard Li Ke's words, they couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Where did so many books come from?

These books are not a small number, and they are distributed for free!

"This is the book to be distributed, take a look."

Li Ke asked someone to take a few books and handed them to the two of them.

"What kind of paper is this?"

"The handwriting is so clear?"

"I have never seen a book of such good quality!"

"And there are so many of them?"

After the two flipped through the new book in their hands, they were completely stunned!

They couldn't believe what they saw, and even suspected that something was wrong with their eyes!

The paper is as white as snow, and the black is extremely neat and consistent in size, and the printing is very clear!

The whole look has a pleasing feeling!

Their eyes were full of amazement, as if it was unbelievable that such a magical book existed in the world!

"From now on, this kind of book will be used in all government schools, and it will be provided by the Ministry of Rites for free, and the Metropolitan Government will print and distribute it on its behalf."

Li Ke explained to the two of them.

Books are certainly not free, after all there is a cost of paper and printing.

But this cost is covered by the Ministry of Rites, and it will be enough for the Ministry of Rites to reimburse directly at that time.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The two tightly grasped the books in their hands and nodded heavily.

Their eyes were full of excitement and excitement, and they knew very well what kind of impact the appearance of this kind of book would have on readers!

Especially with such a large number, this will allow many people who had no chance to study to gain the opportunity to study!

"Your Highness, only scholars in Yangzhou and Suzhou have this kind of book?"

Immediately, one of them suddenly thought of a question and immediately asked Li Ke.

He is not from Yangzhou, but came to work from other places.

In his hometown, there are also many people from poor families who want to study, but because the number of books is scarce and the price is very high, they have no chance to read a lot.

It would be great if the books could be shipped out of town!

"Don't worry, all the prefectures and counties in Datang will have them!"

Li Ke said to the two of them in an extremely firm and confident tone.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness is the benefactor of all scholars in my Tang Dynasty!"

The two saluted Li Ke with great gratitude from the bottom of their hearts!

Because only those who read are more aware of the significance of such a large number of books with excellent quality to scholars all over the world!

This is the key that can change fate!

PS: Fourth more! .

Chapter 196 Books sold out!Is the expansion of official schools a bottomless pit?

They then had a total of 3.8 books removed.

The Four Books and Five Classics are nine books in total, and each of them is 2 copies.

In addition to a copy of the Five Classics of Zhengyi, each person transported 1 copies.

Now there are 6 copies of the Four Books and Five Classics left in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and 8 copies of the Five Classics and Justice.

"Call the steward of the bookstore."

Li Ke gave orders.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Soon, someone called the steward of the bookstore over.

The bookstore is a store that Li Ke had asked to open for the purpose of selling books in the future.

There are many bookstores in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and basically every county has a bookstore.

The business of the bookstore is very limited, specializing in selling books, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

It can be said that it is a shop specially opened for scholars!

"See Your Highness!"

The owner of the bookstore saluted Li Ke.

"These books are shipped to bookstores in Yangzhou and Suzhou as quickly as possible, and then they are ready for sale."

"And, the price must be sold according to the selling price marked in the book!"

Li Ke didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained to the owner of the bookstore.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The owner of the bookstore immediately nodded respectfully.

Although he strictly carried out Li Ke's order, he still felt a little unbelievable in his heart.

Because in his opinion, such precious books are so cheap!

For example, Zhouyi, one of the Five Classics, is divided into four volumes.

If it is a hand-copied version of "Book of Changes", one volume is about 1 guan!

And Zhouyi has four volumes, and the whole book is four guan!

This is only a week of the Book of Changes, but there are a total of 9 books in the Four Books and Five Classics!

Such an expensive book has dispelled the hopes of countless people who want to read.

This price is by no means nonsense. For example, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zai said when he was prime minister: a thousand dollars can buy a book.

The thousand money here refers to 1 wen, which is 1 guan.

Wu Cailuan copied five volumes of "Xuanhe Shupu" and sold it for [-] yuan, which also proves that the price of books at that time was very high.

Printed books are much cheaper, only about one-tenth of the price of this 017.

That is to say, one volume is about 1 Wen, but a Book of Changes also needs as many as 4 Wen!

Moreover, the handwriting of the printed books is unclear, and there are even cases where strokes are missing.

Therefore, readers with slightly better conditions basically bought manuscripts.

However, whether it is a printed version or a manuscript, compared with the books printed by Li Ke, they are all rubbish!

It can be said that the books printed by Li Ke are the best books he has ever seen in his life!

Whether it is from the clarity of the paper or the printing, the neatness of the handwriting and so on.

Can't find any flaws at all!

The most important thing is that the price of this kind of perfect book is extremely cheap!

For example, Zhou Yi, a volume is only 20 characters!

Yes, one volume only costs 20 Wen, and the entire Book of Changes can be bought for 80 Wen!

When he heard the news for the first time, he was shocked!

He couldn't help but wonder, is His Highness King Wu doing charity?
