Of course, Li Xian's big move is not only a small fight such as thread-bound books and folding fans, because it is not only him, even the ordinary official eunuch family is also happy when they see these gadgets, but they don't think that this thing can impress Li Xian, the prince, at most, they just praise the prince for his cleverness, and even they don't know that the folding fan is actually created by Li Xian, thinking that Li Xian can lead the trend of folding fans just because he has a better vision.

Of course, they didn't know that under this trend, Li Xian himself received a dividend of nearly 50,000 yuan, and this money was used by him to quietly build weapons and equipment.

However, due to Datang's control of weapons and equipment, his equipment is privately built, and the weapons and equipment issued by the official are quietly destroyed, and the weapons and equipment that he has privately created are quietly distributed to the real personal soldiers under his command. There is no difference between the shape of these privately created weapons and armor issued by the official one, but the real offensive and defensive capabilities of these weapons and armors that seem to be indistinguishable have already been increased tenfold.

In addition to weapons and equipment, Li Xian's huge wealth is also used to attract talents, his own status as the crown prince, coupled with the power of sugar-coated cannonballs, has already quietly attracted more than half of the middle and low-level officials in the court and many eunuch maids and palace guards in the palace to his own door. Of course, before doing all this, Li Xian had already secretly investigated the people who were going to be wooed, only those who were innocent, loyal and upright, and did not become the henchmen of the Empress Wu were eligible to be co-opted, and there were also some people who were originally Empress Wu, Li Xian was co-opted out of strategic deception, and the purpose was naturally to deceive and paralyze the Empress Wu.

Li Xian is really not short of money to spend, but if he wants to really rise, he can't rely on money alone, if he wants his status to be as stable as Mount Tai, he must find a way to be recognized by more people, and if he wants to do this, the most direct and effective way is to repair books, and improve his prestige by repairing books.

The so-called prosperous era when the book is repaired, this is the tradition that has been inherited for thousands of years, whenever the prosperous era comes, there will always be a large-scale book repair event, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, Tang Taizong period had ordered Kong Yingda to be responsible for the revision of the "Five Classics of Justice", as well as Wei Zheng presided over the revision of the "Book of Sui", Fang Xuanling and other repairs of the "Book of Jin", Yao Silian and others revised the "Book of Liang", "Book of Chen", Li Baiyao revised the "Book of Northern Qi", Linghu Dedi and others repaired the "Book of Zhou", as well as Taizong, Gaozong during the period of Li Dayong, Li Yanshou and his son revised the "Southern History" and "Northern History", and later handed down the twenty-four histories, In less than 100 years at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, eight books were repaired, accounting for one-third, which shows how great the grand event of book revision in the Tang Dynasty was?

Later, in the Gaozong Dynasty, although the two princes Li Hong and Li Xian did not repair books on a large scale, they also made some achievements, such as Li Hong's selection of "Yaoshan Jade Collection", Li Xian's annotation of "Book of the Later Han" and so on.

As the new crown prince, Li Xian is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and in his opinion, such a grand event as book repair can naturally reflect his great ability to organize and coordinate as the crown prince of the current dynasty.

Therefore, Li Xian also decided to repair the book, and it is to repair an unprecedented canon, the name of this book he has already thought of, the name is "Siku Quanshu", all the books in the world are compiled together according to the classification of the subset of scriptures and history, forming an unprecedentedly large class of books, and encourage the world's scholars, Buddhism and others to copy and back up the books in their collections, and then dedicate them to the imperial court, which will reward appropriately according to the number and preciousness of the book, or a reward of money and silk, or a reward of the lord, At the same time, Wang Bo was ordered to be the chief editor, Du Xianyan, Su Wei, Li Qiao, Cui Rong, Luo Binwang, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, Taoist Pan Shizheng, Li Rong, Sun Simiao, Monk Shenxiu and others as the deputy editors, among which Yang Jiong initially refused the position of deputy editor because he was "ashamed of Lu Qian and ashamed of the queen", and later finally agreed due to Lu Zhaolin's persuasion and the temptation of such a big book repair event.

Seeing that Li Xian proposed such a grand plan to repair the book, he wanted to add his manuscript to it, so that his two masterpieces that took decades of painstaking work to complete would be passed on forever, so as to benefit the people of later generations, so he came to the prince's East Palace, and was retained by Li Xian, who promised to be the deputy editor of the Siku Quanshu at the age of nearly 100 years, and was in charge of the compilation of medical books and the collation of Taoist classics.

In fact, the original history of the scriptures only included the Confucian classics, but because the Tang Dynasty royal family claimed to be the descendants of Lao Tzu, the respect for Taoism is simply incomprehensible, so the Taoist classics are also listed as the scriptures, and the Buddhist scriptures have been excluded, can only be listed in the collection department, but at this time, in order to buy the hearts of the world's Buddhists, he resolutely proposed to include the Buddhist scriptures in the scriptures, Li Xian himself was a teacher of Buddhism, and his biggest purpose was to devote himself to the integration of the three religions, not to deliberately support a certain sect, Naturally, there is no reason to refuse this, so the final scripture is a large collection of classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

This was actually in line with the development of the three religions in the Tang Dynasty at that time, so although there was a little controversy, they all agreed to this approach in the end.

For Li Xian's revision of books, especially the revision of such a huge volume, in fact, Empress Wu was originally strongly opposed, because she also knew that once such a masterpiece was successful, Li Xian's prestige would completely overshadow herself, but she also knew that it was useless to stop it, but instead gave herself a reputation for narrow-mindedness.

And another reason, she also knows that such a huge project can never be completed in a year or two, it may take ten years, or even more, if she can borrow this matter to consume Li Xian's energy, she will be happy.

In fact, Empress Wu's idea was not wrong, this matter did involve Li Xian's huge energy, but she didn't know that Li Xian's borrowing of the book repair, although it did require progress, but the real purpose was to cover for her secret plot of power, and such a huge and time-consuming project was the best weapon to cover herself.

Li Xian gathered all the most powerful cadres under his command together justifiably through the matter of book revision, and attracted many elite literati, of course, he also secretly used a low-character and talented literati like Song Zhiwen to do many great things, in addition to the progress of book revision, there were some unexpected gains

History has also proved that many of the major decisions in Li Xian's life were made under the cover of the book repair project. (To be continued.) )
