If ten thousand clans were placed in the past, even if ten thousand people could really copy them, it would probably take several days to copy them. After all, the writing speed of the brush is not as good as the pens or pencils of later generations. However, if it is printed, it is very simple. Several craftsmen took turns to operate, printing them continuously for twelve hours a day. As a result, the clans were printed in just a few days, with a thousand of them being sold in Chang'an City, and the rest being delivered to all parts of the country.

Originally, according to Li Shimin's intention, the printing company did not intend to make a profit. He even planned to send out the 10,000 clan plots that had just been printed for free, but Li Xiu dissuaded it. After all, if the printing company did not make a profit, it might be cut off one day. Even if Li Shimin didn't cut it, he would be cut off by his son and grandson in the future. After all, the cost of printing paper, ink, etc. is not low. Coupled with the expenses of craftsmen, etc., the cost of a book is not low. You can't always lose money, right?

So with Li Xiu's insistence, "Clan Chronicle" was finally sold at a price of 10% in cost. Speaking of which, the struggle between Li Shimin and the aristocratic family was originally caused by this book, so the reputation of the Clan Chronicle has long been spread. Many people want to read the content. Although the imperial court copied some of it in the past, the quantity was limited and most people could not see it at all. Now it can be bought on the market, so naturally there is no need to worry about sales. In just two days, a thousand books in Chang'an City sold out.

The success of "Clanography" also greatly increased Li Xiu's confidence. There is also good news, that is, Liu Rengui casts several sets of copper movable type in Luoyang, and will be delivered to Chang'an soon. In this way, the efficiency of the printing company will definitely increase greatly, and the book that Li Shimin wants to print next is also very representative, that is, "The Analects of Confucius".

Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has become a reliance for emperors to rule the world. The imperial examinations that began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties naturally also set questions within the scope of Confucianism. In this way, "The Analects of Confucius" naturally became one of the essential books for poets and writers. After all, if a person has not even read the Analects of Confucius, he may not even understand the test questions. If he doesn't say anything else, Li Xiu once studied the Analects of Confucius specifically because if he doesn't read this book, he will have difficulty communicating with some people, especially poets and writers.

However, there is still a problem with wanting to print the Analects. The main reason is that Li Shimin is very ambitious. After seeing Li Xiu introduce punctuation marks into printing, he wanted to break the Analects again. Because the Analects had no punctuation before, the meanings were different, so the explanations of the Analects were different, and there were many quarrels within Confucianism for this reason.

Li Shimin wanted to add punctuation to the Analects, that is, unify the sentences and explanations of the Analects. This is an amazing achievement and can even be remembered in history. After all, a country can perish, but Confucianism will not perish with the country. It is precisely because of the Confucianism that aristocratic families can achieve this. Moreover, the inheritance of aristocratic families will also be unexpected, but Confucianism is immortal.

Li Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to Li Shimin's thoughts. Anyway, he just had to wait for the other party to hand over the Analects to himself. However, before that, the printing house was not idle. While the Analects had not sent it over, he had someone print something.

"Your Majesty, the books you have printed have been printed. Do you want to take a look?" That afternoon, Li Xiu had just arrived at the book printing office from the financial management supervisor, but as a manager came forward to report happily.

"Oh? That's great. Take me to see!" Li Xiu was so happy when he heard the manager's report. He hurriedly urged the other party that in addition to completing the tasks assigned by Li Shimin, the book printing company also accepted some private tasks. Of course, the cost of printing must be borne by the private, and he was the first person to place an order from the book printing company.

At that moment, Li Xiu followed the manager to the warehouse of the book printing house. He saw more than a dozen large boxes placed here. Before the box cover could be sealed, he could see the neat books inside at a glance.

Looking at these printed books, Li Xiu couldn't help but strode forward excitedly, reaching out and picking up one and flipping through it. This book was the "Li Gongzi's Arithmetic" written for him by Li Chunfeng. Later, Li Xiu organized and revised the book and used it as a textbook. For example, his students and Xinzhu primary school students used this book as textbooks.

In addition to this mathematics textbook, the others are also various textbooks used by some schools. These are printed by Li Xiu for his students and Xinzhu Primary School, especially Xinzhu Primary School students. In the past, these students did not have textbooks when they studied, so they could only say one sentence from the teacher above, and they copied one sentence from the bottom themselves, and their learning efficiency was very poor.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that after Li Xiu opened the bookmarket, he was the first to think of printing some textbooks for the school. After all, education is the foundation of a country's prosperity and strength. Moreover, Xinzhu Primary School is also famous now. Graduated students either go to the government to work as minor officials or do business by themselves. Compared with their poor background, this is already very rare. Not to mention that some people have been promoted for outstanding work and become high-quality officials. Many people have made money by doing business and become rich people in the rich business side at a young age.

The students have achieved success and have not forgotten to cultivate their alma mater. In the past, Li Xiu required the school to pay for the operation himself. However, with the donation from students in recent years, the school not only did not require him to donate money, but also had the remaining money to expand the scale of the school and improve the teaching conditions of the school.

Even graduates are so concerned about their alma mater, and Li Xiu, the nominal sponsor, naturally cannot fall behind. Therefore, these books are gifts he gave to the school. Any books that the school needs in the future can be printed from here.

At that moment, Li Xiu asked someone to move all the newly printed textbooks to the car and then personally escorted them to the school. It was still early, but Li Xiu was used to leaving early, and no one dared to say anything. After all, no matter whether it was the financial management supervisor or the book printing company, as long as it was the institution headed by Li Xiu, there was never any major problem.

When Li Xiu brought these textbooks to Xinzhu Primary School, it was almost time for school to end in the afternoon. Now Li Xiu found Tian Chou and prepared to ask him to find a place to move the books down. After all, there must be no time to publish books today.

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that when he came to Tian Chou's room, he found that there were guests here. The other party was an old man with white hair and hair, who looked familiar and seemed to have seen it somewhere?

When Tian Chou saw Li Xiu, he stood up happily and introduced: "The prince-consort is here just right. This is Mr. Cui. I used to serve under Mr. Cui. Today he came to visit me specifically. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gong is here too!"
