Return to the palace from the palace.

Li Chengqian was not idle either.

He hurried to the backyard to see Carpenter Zhang.

Seeing him coming, Carpenter Zhang and others quickly got up and saluted: "Your Highness..."

"Not for free."

Li Chengqian walked directly to the workbench of Carpenter Zhang and others.

"How is the font model done?"

"According to your highness's instructions, you have made ten sets now."

"There are only some unpopular and uncommon characters that we put in the last carving."

Carpenter Zhang answered truthfully.

Li Chengqian picked up one from the table.

The font model is carved from a stone as big as a thumb.

There is a word Li engraved on it.

Li Chengqian took photos inside again and finally pieced together his name.

Apply these three words in ink and print them on paper.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied.

"Little Chuzi."

"I'm here."

"All those who carve letters will be rewarded with three hundred coins."

"yes!"

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, the group was so happy.

Who can't like money?

Even if you work for the eldest prince, you have to make money.

Under the leadership of Carpenter Zhang, everyone bowed to Li Chengqian again: "We will thank Your Highness."

"Don't say thank you to me."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "It must be that I said thank you to you."

"Although this small font model looks inconspicuous, it is something that can change an era."

"When this thing is truly put into use, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will really have books to read and everyone will be able to read."

What he did was live printing.

The people in front of me still don’t know what this will bring to this era.

But in the future, they will definitely understand how great what they are doing today.

As the saying goes, a strong young man will be a strong country. If all the young men in the Tang Dynasty are literate, what are the concerns about the Tang Dynasty without talent?

How could I not be strong in Greater China?

But before that, Li Chengqian had to solve one more thing.

That is the sales issue of books printed in the future.

Li Chengqian would not be so stupid as to distribute books for free in the street.

Only fools can do that kind of thing.

Is Li Chengqian a fool?

So, he had already planned.

On the afternoon of the next day, he made a large table of food.

Then Changsun rushed over and invited Changsun Wuji.

When Changsun Wuji came over, he looked at the table full of food.

He didn't move, but looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously.

"I said, my eldest nephew, why are you doing this today?"

Li Chengqian has become a little fox-like existence in his heart.

He didn't believe that Li Chengqian would show his diligence if he had nothing to do.

Li Chengqian smiled and held the teapot in both hands and poured a cup of tea for Changsun Wuji.

"Uncle, look at what you said, it seems like I want to harm you."

Changsun Wuji sneered: "Last time you invited me to have tea, I lay in bed for a few days."

He hasn't forgotten that he's trashing.

Li Chengqian was also a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would hold such a grudge.

He sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth."

"If I want to do something, I must have my uncle's help."

"Don't look for me."

"I can't help you."

Changsun Wuji got up and was about to run away.

Li Chengqian quickly pulled him away: "Uncle, don't leave first, listen to me finish my words first."

"What do you say?"

"I don't believe that you can really have any good things."

Changsun Wuji knows this guy very well.

What good things can he do?

Unless the sun comes out from the west.

"Uncle, this time it's a good thing, I promise."

"And it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

”

Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Didn't I build a paper mill now? I want to print some books to sell."

"But you also know that my father doesn't allow me to do business, so I have to find you in this matter..."

"Look for me?"

"Selling books?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian like he was looking at a crazy person.

"I said you boy are crazy?"

"Don't you know that books are now monopolized by aristocratic families?"

"If you sell books, the final result will probably be that you can't even recover the cost."

In this era, the monopoly scale of aristocratic families on the formation of knowledge was quite huge.

In Chang'an City, there are pharmacies, ready-made clothing shops, restaurants, butchers, and even brothels.

But there are very few bookstores.

Even if there are, the sales are all unofficial historical stories.

Moreover, because of the high cost of paper and the high cost of printing books, books are so expensive.

The poor people couldn't afford it at all, and the ones who went to buy books in the end were the aristocratic families.

This also led to a vicious cycle of the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocratic families.

If a poor family wants to read a book, they either go to a nearby aristocratic family to borrow books and then copy the content of the book to study.

Or you just stay in a family and study with the children of the family.

But the final result is that these children should be grateful to the aristocratic family and give rewards after becoming famous or gaining power.

What's more, if Cheng Yaojin is like this, he will be promised to be a wife for his children in the family.

This has led to a large-scale monopoly on talents.

In the Tang Dynasty, there are nine out of ten families.

Sometimes, Li Shimin couldn't help himself.
