After about half a month, Li Jing's art of war, Tang Jian's etiquette books, and Pei Ju's collection of materials in the Western Regions were all published. The reputation of these adults suddenly rose a lot, and then there was a craze for publishing books, and many officials of the imperial court took out some of the things they had accumulated before, wanting to see if there was any value in publication. For these people who want to fish in troubled waters, Jingwen is not easy to refuse, so he said that he would first publish books to those high-grade officials, and then give them those low-grade ones. As for when it will be postponed, it's hard to say, anyway, Jingwen didn't directly kill their manuscript, so he said that it would be delayed. However, seeing this craze for publishing books, some people can't sit still.

"Jingwen Aiqing, have you been busy lately?" Li Shimin asked with concern.

Jing Wen was on guard again in his heart, according to the law of going to the Three Treasures Hall if he had nothing to do, Li Shimin definitely had something to ask for, otherwise he would not care so much about himself.

"Your Majesty, I'm just your eunuch, if you have something, just say it!" Jingwen said bluntly.

"Jingwen Aiqing, recently helped the pharmacist, that is, General Li Jing, and Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to publish a book, and as a result, their reputations have improved a lot. You see, I also have itchy hands for a while, and I want to write a book to read it! Li Shimin said.

Jingwen thought it was a big deal, it turned out that Li Shimin saw this craze for publishing books and wanted to start writing books. Since ancient times, writing books has been a great way to become famous. Writing a book not only shows your cultural literacy, but also makes you look like a cultural person. If the influence of books is big enough, it can even become political capital!

And since ancient times, as long as the emperor wants to make a difference, he wants to leave a name in history. And Li Shimin does not know that his future Zhenguan rule can be immortal, so he is still struggling. Now there's a shortcut, and that's writing a book. It is also good to let the people of the world see that Li Shimin is educated, and let the people of the world know that Li Shimin's "cultural governance" is also good, not only is his military exploits good! Li Shimin was born as a battlefield general, so now he urgently needs to show his "cultural governance", and publishing a book is a shortcut, so Li Shimin also wants to publish a book.

"What a good thing! Your Majesty, if you publish a book and your name is printed, who would dare not buy it? Jingwen said.

Jingwen had already thought that if Li Shimin's name was printed, wouldn't all the "sycophants" in the world have to buy the books written by Li Shimin? In this world, there is a lack of everything, that is, there is no shortage of sycophants who want to be officials and want to be promoted. If they knew that the emperor had published books, then they had to pull a cart over and buy all these books? Therefore, publishing books for the emperor is definitely a profit or a loss, because the market has been robbed by those sycophants.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, no, no, how can I be like this?" If I publish a book as an emperor, isn't that using my authority to force the people to buy it? So, I can't do that. But I also want to publish a book, but I can't reveal my real name, is there anything you can do? ”

Jingwen immediately knew that this was Li Shimin's vanity. Li Shimin wants to publish a book again, but he doesn't want to publish a book as a real person, otherwise what else does it mean! At that time, people will not care about the content of the book, but only the identity of the author. This is definitely not what Li Shimin wants, what he wants is a real opportunity to test his talents. Li Jing and Tang Jian have all succeeded in publishing books, and there is no reason why he, the emperor, will fail to publish books, so he also wants to publish books as an ordinary person, which can be regarded as a good start.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, you should give a pen name. The pen name is the name that is specially used to write books, just like I have a pen name, called salt-baked eggs, and I plan to use it to write down the things of my life when the time comes, and it will be called the Tang Dynasty Rigoletto. Your Majesty, you might as well give a pen name, so that you can avoid revealing your real name directly, so that you can really test your ability! Jingwen said.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "You can help me think of a pen name." ”

"Your Majesty, how about calling the word Shimin?" Jingwen said.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No! If the word 'Shimin' is used, doesn't it clearly mean that I am writing a book? But you did remind me that my name comes from the word 'help the world and the people'. How about I remove the word Shimin and call it 'Ji'an'? ”

"The emperor is wise!" Jingwen immediately blocked it with a sycophant.

"This is the poem I have made over the years, and you can edit it into a poetry collection, and then it will be called Ji'an Poetry Collection. Then take it to major bookstores to sell it, and see what level my literary talent can reach, and whether it can be snapped up by people? Li Shimin said.

Jingwen looked at Li Shimin's YY appearance and couldn't help complaining in his heart. Because there are no popular poems in the history of Li Shimin, although he writes poems, they are not good sentences. If it weren't for the identity of the emperor, his poems would not have been circulated in history at all. In fact, Jingwen has no hope for this Li Shimin's Ji'an poetry collection.

"It seems that you have to work hard to sell it, otherwise if the sales are too small, then I'm afraid the emperor will lose face!" Jingwen thought to himself.

Li Shimin suddenly thought: "By the way, the queen also privately compiled a book of "Women to Record" based on the meals of ancient ladies, and you can also take it and publish it together." This is published in the name of the queen, otherwise it will not be able to teach the women of the world. ”

After Jingwen heard this, he immediately knew that his opportunity to make money had come again. The "Women's Rules" compiled by the queen is used to teach women in the world, how can those official wives and wives not purchase them? When the time comes, I am afraid that the magistrates everywhere will definitely purchase this "Female Rule" in large quantities in order to shoot the emperor and queen's sycophants, and this is the opportunity to make money for themselves. Anyway, can the queen still ask for manuscript fees from herself? Again, this era is an era of begging others to even post others to give you a book, don't say anything about the manuscript fee, it's a good thing that you don't post it upside down. So all this money was earned by Jingwen, and the emperor and empress were still grateful at that time.

"Hahahaha, I'm going to get rich soon! However, Emperor Li Shimin's "Ji'an Poetry Collection" has a bit of a headache. You have to work hard to sell, otherwise the emperor will not be able to explain it! Jingwen thought.

Jingwen took some manuscripts back to the temporary "publishing house", handed them over to the editors led by Zhu Yu, and asked them to work overtime to get them out. The books of the emperor and empress must be sorted out overtime, so that they can be published as much as possible!
