If 10,000 copies of the "Clan Chronicles" were placed in the past, even if they could really find 10,000 people to copy, I am afraid it would take several days to copy, after all, the writing speed of the brush could not be compared to the pen or pencil of later generations, but if it was printed, it was a very simple matter, several shifts of craftsmen took turns to operate, and the twelve hours a day were non-stop printing, and the result was that the clan chronicles were printed in just a few days, of which 1,000 were sold in Chang'an City, and the rest were sent to all parts of the country.

Originally, according to Li Shimin's meaning, the printing company did not intend to make a profit, and even the 10,000 clan records that had just been printed he planned to send out for nothing, but he was dissuaded by Li Xiu, after all, if the printing company did not make a profit, maybe it would be cut down one day, even if Li Shimin did not cut it, he would be cut by his son and grandson in the future, after all, the cost of printed paper, ink, etc. is not low, plus the expenses of craftsmen, etc., the cost of a book is not low, and it can't always be a loss, right?

So at Li Xiu's insistence, "Clan Chronicles" was finally sold at a price increase of 10% in terms of cost. Speaking of which, the battle between Li Shimin and the family was originally caused by this book, so the reputation of the clan has long been spread, many people want to take a look at the content of the book, although the imperial court copied some in the past, but the number is limited, ordinary people can't see it at all, and now it can finally be bought on the market, and naturally there is no worry about sales, and a thousand books in Chang'an City will be sold out in just two days.

The success of "Clan Chronicles" also greatly increased Li Xiu's confidence, and there is also good news, that is, Liu Renliang has minted several sets of copper movable type in Luoyang, which will be sent to Chang'an soon, so that the efficiency of the printing bureau will definitely be greatly increased, and the next book to be printed by Li Shimin is also very representative, that is, "Analects".

Since the Han Dynasty exalted Confucianism, Confucianism has since become the emperor's reliance on ruling the world, and the imperial examination that began in the Sui and Tang dynasties was naturally within the scope of Confucianism.

However, it is still a bit of a problem to print the Analects, mainly because Li Shimin is very ambitious, after he saw Li Xiu introduce punctuation into printing, he wanted to re-break the Analects, because in the past, the Analects had no punctuation, and the meanings were different if the sentences were different, so the interpretation of the Analects was different, and there were many quarrels within Confucianism.

Li Shimin wanted to add punctuation marks to the Analects, that is, to unify the sentences and explanations of the Analects, which is a great feat, and can even go down in history, after all, the country can perish, but Confucianism will not perish with the country, and the family has done this with the help of Confucianism, and the inheritance of the family will also have accidents, but the Confucian doctrine is immortal.

Li Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to Li Shimin's thoughts, anyway, he just had to wait for the other party to hand over the sentences of the Analects to him, but before that, the printing office was not idle, and while the Analects had not been delivered, he asked someone to print something.

"Qiyu Concubine, the books you asked us to print have been printed, do you want to take a look?" That afternoon, Li Xiu had just come to the printing office from the financial supervision office, and a steward came forward to report happily.

"Oh? That's great, take me to see it! Li Xiu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the steward's report, and hurriedly urged the other party at the moment, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by Li Shimin, the printing bureau also accepted some private tasks, of course, the cost of printing books must be borne by private individuals, and he was the first individual to place an order with the printing bureau.

At that moment, Li Xiu followed the steward to the warehouse of the printing office, only to see that there were more than a dozen large boxes here, and the lid of the box had not yet had time to be sealed.

Looking at these books that had been printed, Li Xiu couldn't help but strode forward excitedly, reached out and picked up a copy and flipped it, this book was "Li Gongzi Arithmetic" written by Li Chunfeng for him at the beginning, and later Li Xiu sorted out and revised this book and used it as a textbook, such as his students and students of Xinzhu Primary School, who used this book as a teaching material.

In addition to this mathematics textbook, the others are also all kinds of textbooks used in some schools, which are printed by Li Xiu for his students and the students of Xinzhu Primary School, especially the students of Xinzhu Primary School.

It is precisely because of the above reasons, so after Li Xiu opened the printing office, the first thought of printing some textbooks for the school, after all, education is the foundation of the country's prosperity, not to mention that the current Xinzhu Primary School is also famous, and the graduating students either enter the government as small officials, or do business by themselves, compared to their poor background, this is already very rare, not to mention that there are some people who have been promoted because of their excellent work and become high-grade officials, and many people have made a fortune because of business. At a young age, he became a wealthy man on the rich side.

In the past, the operation of the school required Li Xiu to put money into it, but in recent years, with the donations of students, the school not only does not need him to donate money, but has surplus money to expand the scale of the school and improve the teaching conditions of the school.

Even the graduating students are so concerned about their alma mater, and Li Xiu, the nominal sponsor, naturally can't be left behind, so these books are also his gifts to the school, and any books that the school needs in the future can also be printed from here.

At that moment, Li Xiu asked people to move these freshly printed textbooks to the car, and then personally escorted them to prepare to send them to school, it was still early at this time, but Li Xiu was used to leaving early, and no one dared to say anything, after all, whether it was the financial supervision or the printing office, as long as it was an institution presided over by Li Xiu, there had never been any major problems.

When Li Xiu came to Xinzhu Primary School with these textbooks, it was already about to end school in the afternoon, and at that moment Li Xiu found Tian Chip and prepared to let him find a place to move the books down, after all, there would definitely be no time to distribute books today.

It's just that what Li Xiu didn't expect was that when he came to Tian Chip's room, he found that there was a guest here, and the other party was an old man with white hair, who looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere?

And Tian Chip also stood up very happily when he saw Li Xiu and introduced: "The horse came just in time, this is Cui Gong Cui Shilang, I used to serve under Cui Gong, today he came to visit me, I didn't expect you to come too!" ”
