"Is Cui Gong still satisfied with the books printed by the printing office?" Li Xiu came to the front hall with a smile, and without waiting for Cui Gan to speak, he asked first, although he knew that Cui Gan definitely didn't come to him today for those books.

"Ahem, thank you for printing the books for the old man, the quality of these books is very good, the old man is very satisfied!" I saw Cui Gan cough dryly, although he tried his best to hide his true thoughts in his heart, Li Xiu could still see a little anxiety and worry in his eyes.

"It's good that Cui Gong is satisfied, now the printing bureau has just begun to operate, in addition to the previous clan chronicles and those textbooks I printed for the new building school, Cui Gong, your anthology is the third task of the printing bureau, and the craftsmen are still a little unskilled, and the required equipment has not yet arrived, so the speed is a little slower, please forgive Cui Gong!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

"There are 1,000 in less than three days, if this is still called slow, then the old man really can't think of what is fast?" Cui Gan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Li Xiu's words, although he knew that Li Xiu deliberately said it to him, but he came today for another purpose, so no matter what Li Xiu said, he didn't plan to turn his face with Li Xiu.

Speaking of Cui Gan, he was indeed frightened, he only handed over his anthology to Li Xiu three days ago, and as a result, a thousand books were printed this afternoon, and those anthologies were all from his own hands, although a few articles were circulated in the outside world, most of them were only known to him, so it was absolutely impossible for Li Xiu to fake it beforehand, in other words, the printing bureau really has the ability to print a thousand books in less than three days, and listening to Li Xiu's meaning, the speed of the printing office can be improved again, which makes him have to be afraid.

It was precisely because of the above that Cui Gan hurriedly summoned Cui Fu'an, Zheng Zhong and others to the mansion to discuss after seeing the anthologies sent by Li Xiu, and finally came up with a solution, so he ignored his old age and frailty, and ran to Li Xiu's mansion to visit him while it was dark.

Seeing the wry smile on Cui Gan's face, Li Xiu smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still serious: "It's good that Cui Gong is satisfied, speaking of which, the printing office is different from other places, and the printing office will undertake some private printing in the future, so as to maintain profitability and make the printing office operate, so if Cui Gong is satisfied, he might as well tell his relatives and friends, so that more people can know about the printing office." ”

"Ahem, the horse laughed, the printing bureau can print the book so quickly, hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the previous copying, and it will definitely be highly sought after by people in the future!" I saw Cui Gan smile bitterly again, but when he said this, he paused for a moment, and then said, "But the old man is very curious, I don't know what kind of method the printing bureau uses to print a thousand old man's anthologies in just two or three days?" ”

"This ......" Hearing Cui Gan actually ask about the printing method, Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then asked with a smile again, "Why did Cui Gong suddenly ask this question?" ”

"The old man is just curious, what? Could it be that there are any secrets of the imperial court involved? Cui Gan also asked rhetorically, in fact, he was telling the truth, because he never dreamed that there would be such a way to dig out the foundation of the family?

"Hehe, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, no matter how wonderful the articles and poems in the world are, they are composed of just one word after another, and we just make the words into the style of a seal, and then put these words together according to the article, smear them with ink and print them on paper, and a page of text is instantaneous, a hundred times faster than copying?" Li Xiu thought about it for a while, and finally didn't hide it, and roughly explained the original understanding of movable type printing.

Movable type printing is not used to make money, in fact, even Li Shimin does not plan to make money, because its most important role is to print books, and books are the summary of the experience of predecessors, so printing technology for a country, a nation, have extremely great significance, the wider the spread, the greater the impact, now there is only one royal printing office, in the future Li Xiu hopes to see some printing offices among the people, so as to make the price of books cheaper, more convenient for the spread of knowledge.

"Unexpectedly...... It's so simple, why has it never been thought of before? Cui Gan was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xiu's explanation of movable type printing, and then said again with a wry smile on his face, who would have thought that such a simple method would dig out the foundation of the family that had been inherited for hundreds of years?

"That's why there is a saying that only the unthinkable, there is nothing that can't be done, I have no other ability, I just dare to think what others dare not think!" Although Li Xiu is half younger than Cui Gan, he taught the other party a lesson at this time, but although his description of himself in the latter sentence is suspected of boasting, it is also accurate, compared to the ancients, his ideas are indeed very bold and advanced.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Cui Gan showed a silent expression at this time, and after a long while, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes stared at Li Xiu and said slowly: "The horse said that he dared to think about what others didn't dare to think, then I want to ask, can the horse think about your future?" ”

"What will happen later? I don't know what Cui Gan is referring to? Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard Cui Gan's words, and then asked puzzled.

"Hehe, it's better to speak in front of the Ming people, I'll make it clear, Your Majesty is very jealous of our five surnames and seven wangs, on the one hand, we are suppressed by unscrupulous means, and on the other hand, they also support the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, such as the concubine and the eldest grandson Wuji, etc., in order to contain the power of our family, but have you thought about it, with your current status, your Li family will definitely be the same as us in the future, and will become a new family!" Cui Gan sat up straight at this time and said loudly.

"A new family?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression when he heard Cui Gan's words.

Although Cui Gan's words did not speak, Li Xiu also understood that the five surnames and seven wang families were equivalent to the old nobles of the Central Plains, and the background was very profound, and Li Shimin supported Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji in order to fight against the old nobles, but even if the new nobles defeated the old nobles, the new nobles would slowly become old nobles in the future.

Seeing that Li Xiu was silent, Cui Gan couldn't help but show a little joy, the reason why he came to see Li Xiu was actually to win over the other party, of course, for people like Li Xiu, the general method of winning over would definitely not work, and the only way was to make him a part of the family.
