There is no need to work for two people.

Li Zhi was quite good at arranging people. After getting the woodblock printing, he simply handed over it to Li Xiaolai to take charge. A new printing bureau was set up under the secretary's supervision to be responsible for printing books.

The first task assigned by the emperor to his new secretary was to build the printing bureau as soon as possible. Anyway, he would give people, money, and land. Ten thousand sets of Nine Classics were the task assigned by Li Zhi to the printing bureau.

He is rich and generous.

Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh that the emperor's work was indeed very big.

If I had printing technology in hand, even if the printing cost was low, I wouldn't just do 10,000 copies first. I must first investigate the market first, and then hold an investment promotion conference to find some dealers or something. At least I have to get some orders first, or even get some deposit first, so that I can start construction.

I just need to do ten thousand sets of Nine Sutras first, which is too simple and crude.

However, ten thousand sets are indeed not too many for the emperor.

After all, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty are actually mainly composed of Mingjing and Jinshi, and there are few people admitted to Jinshi, and the Mingjing subject is the most admitted, especially those who are often examined by Mingjing subjects. As the saying goes, the Mingjing subject is the Mingjing subject and the 50-year-old Jinshi.

If you only pass the Ming Jing exam at the age of thirty, then you will be old. If you can pass the Jinshi exam at the age of 50, you will be still young.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to give you a few words." Li Xiao smiled.

"Give the word?" Li Zhi was a little confused, so why did he suddenly say that he wanted to give the word?

Li Xiao asked someone to take paper, ink, pen and inkstone to grind the ink for the emperor himself.

"Just write a line of words, the authentic version of the imperial examination nine classics, and the Secretariat's correction!"

Li Xiao planned to use the emperor's words as a sign to advertise the Nine Sutras. When these Nine Sutras were printed, a line of large characters were printed on the cover of each volume, and the authentic version of the Nine Sutras for the imperial examination was named. If there was this line of characters, then this set of Nine Sutras would not be as powerful as the sky.

With the corrections made by the Secretariat, it is definitely a matter of raising your value.

He, Li Xiao, does things, and if he wants to do it, he must do his best.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a book in the Works Bureau has been proofread. Can it be handed over to the Printing Bureau for printing and promulgation?"

"Are you talking about the justice of the Five Classics?" Li Zhi suddenly understood which set of books Li Xiao was talking about.

The Justice of the Five Classics is an explanation of the meaning of the five classics. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the court declared the Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, Book of Changes, and Spring and Autumn as classics, so it was called the Five Classics.

During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong ordered the great scholar Kong Yingda and others to write works on the Five Classics. This set of books is an official interpretation of the five classics. It was edited by Kong Yingda. It took more than 30 years and participated by more than 50 famous scholars and great scholars.

Among them, the "Book of Changes" uses the notes of Wang Bi of Wei and Han Kangbo of Jin; the "Shangshu" is the biography of Kong Anguo of Han Dynasty; the "Book of Songs" uses the biography of Mao Heng of Han and Zheng Xuan's annotation; the "Book of Rites" uses the annotation of Du Yu of Jin. Most of the classics are based on the notes of many notes from ancient times, especially from the Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty. "It must be based on Zhong Ni as the principal", trying to "get rid of its beauty and gain the truth, and to make faith but have a sign."

The purpose of this set of books is to complete the unity of the content of the Five Classics. In general, it is to unify thoughts.

This is of course of great help to the Tang Dynasty rule the world. Choosing classic notes that are more suitable for the needs of the court will be beneficial to the court.

"I believe that the justice of the Five Classics took more than 30 years. Now that it has been proofread, it should be published and promulgated immediately. I also suggest that the justice of the Five Classics can be listed as a standard, and stipulate that the classic parts of the imperial examinations in the future must also be based on this answer sheet."

Li Zhi thought what he said made sense.

"You can print another ten thousand sets of justice in the Five Classics."

The Tang Dynasty followed the Nine Confucian classics, which included several more classics than the Five Classics of the Han Dynasty, but the Five Classics are also the basics.

This set of books was finally completed. From the beginning of Zhenguan to the present, it was finally compiled and proofread.

According to normal circumstances, after this set of books is completed, several sets will be copied by the Works Bureau of the Secretariat and stored in several major palaces of the court.

But now that there is printing technology, of course it can be published.

These five Confucian classics were written in the early days, with obscure and difficult to understand, and were brief and ominous. Therefore, later scholars and great scholars and scholars popularly wrote biography and annotation, but a book often had multiple biography and annotation, and later generations did not know which one to listen to.

The set of justice of the Five Classics compiled by the Tang Dynasty is to select better annotations from them, abandon the rest of the miscellaneous theories, and unify and organize the complex interpretations of classics of the previous dynasties. Because the annotations of the previous dynasties also have difficulty in explaining, we must also explain the transmission, annotation, and the explanation.

This is actually a set of reference books, specifically used to interpret and study the Five Classics.

This set of books includes 14 volumes of "Zhouyi Jing", 20 volumes of "Shangshu Jing", 40 volumes of "Mao Shi Jing", 70 volumes of "Justice Jing", and 36 volumes of "Zuo Zhuan Zheng" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

There are a total of 180 volumes, which can be described as a huge compilation.

In particular, not only were there famous scholars of the Tang Dynasty such as Kong Yingda, but also many important officials such as Yu Zhining and Changsun Wuji participated in the increase and loss.

"Okay, the justice of the Five Classics is submitted to the Printing Bureau for publication and then distributed throughout the world. In the future, all scholars should understand the classics and study the Confucian scriptures. The meaning is based on the justice of the Five Classics, otherwise it will be regarded as heresy." Li Zhi made the decision.

The imperial court had dozens of subjects, but the Ming classics were the main ones, and the Nine Classics and Five Classics were the must-use books for the examination. Then the ideological and theories of this set of books would have a huge impact on the Tang people.

Li Xiao also knew some of the philosophical thoughts of these Confucian classics. For example, the Zhouyi Justice promotes idealism that first Tao is the way and then form, while the Book of Rites Justice promotes the Confucian concept of valuing etiquette and advocates the hierarchy difference between high and low.

This is the unity of thought.

Since the Han Dynasty, the court has believed in Confucianism and governed the world with Confucianism. Confucian classics are the foundation of Confucianism, and Confucianism is the expression form of Confucianism. Through annotation of the scriptures, it expresses the ideals, pursuits, ideological purposes and values ​​of a group of knowledge in the era.

It can be said that unifying the annotations of Confucian classics is actually to unify the universal values ​​of the people in the world, and to support and promote those values ​​that are beneficial to the court, and then achieve a stronger rule.

On the other hand, Li Shimin's original work was actually taking over the academic power monopolized by the gentry into the hands of the court.

If the court compiled and published a set of justice in the Five Classics, the right to interpret these Five Classics is no longer in the hands of the various gentry, but in the hands of the court.

"I want people to give them, money to give them, and land to give them, and I hope to see results in the shortest time."
