Chapter 979: Ten thousand clan records

The technology of copper movable type is high or low. For example, the technology requirements of copper movable type are not high, and ordinary craftsmen can also make it, but it is difficult to find that the specifications of all copper movable type must be consistent. In this way, when arranged, the fonts on it will not be uneven and convenient for printing. This is the advantage of craftsmen in the coin metering bureau, because when they make copper coins, the biggest requirement is that the specifications are consistent, so the specifications of the copper movable type they make are uniform, and the errors of height are also very small.

Although Li Xiu was called rest at home these two days, he was not idle either. For example, the printing experiment in front of him was discovered bit by bit. Of course, this can only be used as an experiment. After all, the conditions are limited, and the copper movable type is not firm. A small amount of printing is OK. There will definitely be some problems with a large amount of printing. Therefore, although copper movable type has been made, the printing technology and process still need further research.

"Great! Great! With these copper movable characters, I can print as many books as I want. In this way, I can break the monopoly of the aristocratic families over reading and completely dig out the foundation of the aristocratic family!" After Li Shimin understood the value of movable type printing, he was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself. He stood up and walked back and forth while talking loudly.

"Mr. Concubine, you really don't make a sound, and you'll make a big splash!" Changsun Wuji also looked at Li Xiudao with a complicated expression at this time. He was also the most important minister around Li Shimin. Sometimes Changsun Wuji would be a little afraid of Li Xiu, for fear that the other party would suppress him, but sometimes he had to admire Li Xiu very much, for example, the copper movable type in front of him was something he would never have imagined.

"Haha, in fact, this copper movable type is indeed just a few gadgets. Of course, sometimes some seemingly complex problems can be solved by some very simple methods." Li Xiu also said with a smile.

The main reason why aristocratic families have such a strong influence is that most of the officials in the court are from aristocratic families. For example, in this imperial examination, all the Jinshis who passed the imperial examination were from aristocratic families. The main reason for this situation is that the aristocratic families have mastered the inheritance of knowledge. They have a large number of books hidden in their families, which ordinary people cannot borrow. Only children from the clan can watch. Usually, there are erudite scholars in the clan to guide them to study. Therefore, these aristocratic families are naturally higher in their knowledge than those from ordinary families, and they have an advantage in taking the imperial examination.

However, the situation is different now. With movable type printing, Li Shimin can print out a large number of books, which reduces the cost of obtaining knowledge. There is no longer too much gap in knowledge structure between scholars from ordinary families and scholars from aristocratic families. Moreover, the number of scholars from ordinary families is huge, and there will always be some excellent scholars standing out, thus squeezing the way for scholars from aristocratic families to become officials. In this way, it may only take more than ten years to completely collapse the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocratic families!

When Li Shimin thought of completely breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic families, those aristocratic families would never be able to give themselves problems like they are now, and even forcing himself to bow to them, he wanted to laugh wildly for a moment. The weakness of the aristocratic families was finally caught by him. As long as he was willing, there would be time to clean up those aristocratic families in the future. Then, wait for these aristocratic families to bow to him!

"Li Xiu, how many copper movable types are there? Can you start printing books now?" After ecstasy, Li Shimin immediately asked Li Xiu impatiently. He wished he could print 100,000 Analects of Confucius now and throw them on the faces of the aristocratic families, so that they could taste the taste of the quilt.

"Your Majesty, now I only have one set of copper movable type, right at my home. However, before I came, I asked Liu Rengui to build a few more sets in Luoyang Supervisor and Money Making Bureau. As for printing, it is not difficult, but it also needs to be studied. If Your Majesty is anxious, I want to ask for a while to take a break and then concentrate on studying printing techniques!" Li Xiu said immediately. Large-scale printing still requires some technology, and there is also the printing process. Only by doing these can you truly improve printing efficiency.

"No problem, please put the financial management affairs first. During this period, I have been focusing on studying printing. The first printed book is "Clan Chronicle". I want you to print 10,000 copies as soon as possible and then distribute them to the world. If you have any needs, you will be directly asked Wuji. Whether it is people or things, you will be satisfied first!" Li Shimin nodded immediately and agreed. At the end of the day, his face showed a vicious expression.

When Li Shimin heard that he wanted to print 10,000 "Clan Chronicles", Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at each other, and then both smiled helplessly. It seemed that Li Shimin was really angry with the aristocratic family. This time the conflict with the aristocratic family was caused by the clan clan. As a result, Li Shimin wanted to hit the aristocratic family in the face and published tens of thousands of clan clan clans at one time. It seems that he wanted to give the ranking of the clan to death. After all, the more people have read the clan clan, the greater the influence of the book on the ranking of the clan. It can be said that with the help of printing, Li Shimin has already mastered some public opinion power.

Although it was a bit difficult to print 10,000 copies, the content in the clan was not much, and Li Shimin did not give a clear time limit, so Li Xiu finally agreed.

"By the way, can this copper movable type be minted in other places besides the coin minting station in Luoyang?" But at this moment, Changsun Wuji suddenly asked.

"Wuji asked well, I was just about to ask this question. This movable type printing is of great significance and is related to the welfare of scholars all over the world. So it is not enough to just a Luoyang Money Making Bureau. Can you let other foundry bureaus join in? Make more sets of lead movable type, and print it faster in the future!" Li Shimin was afraid that the aristocratic family would not fall fast enough, and he also agreed. The more books printed, the weaker the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge. If possible, he even hoped that printing would spread throughout the Tang Dynasty overnight, and then he would wait for the aristocratic family to kneel in front of him and beg for mercy.

"Yes, but the main task of the Money Crimsoning Bureau is to mint coins. If they are asked to mint coins and movable types now, they may need to adjust them to avoid affecting the minting of coins!" Li Xiu thought for a while and replied that although movable type printing is important, the minting of coins is more important. He does not want to affect the production of coins because of copper movable types.
