Li Chengqian's ignorance and stubbornness made Wei Zheng feel a headache.

A mere book screening shop is indeed nothing, but the person standing behind the book screening shop is an existence that even His Majesty the Emperor must treat it carefully.

The five surnames are Seven Wang, Cui Lu, Zheng and Li, among which the Cui family is divided into Qinghe and Boling veins, and the Li family is divided into Longxi and Zhaojun veins.

Although the Li Tang royal family is now awesome and powerful in controlling the entire Tang Empire, ten years ago, Li Yuan was just a branch of the Li family in Longxi before the time when Jinyang raised an army.

A century-old empire and a thousand-year-old family are not just about talking.

Not to mention the distance, just talk about the Tang Dynasty's civil and military affairs, most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty, had an in-law relationship with the five surnames and Qi Wang.

Trying to explain to Li Chengqian the powerful background of the five surnames and Qiwang, Wei Zheng said worriedly: "Your Highness, the publication of books has always been the privilege of the five surnames and Qiwang. Without complete preparations, it is easy to attract a strong rebound when it rashly takes action against them, and it is unlikely to end at that time."

Li Chengqian did not explain too much about Wei Zheng’s misunderstanding.

If, as he said, the publication of books has always been the privilege of the five surnames and seven hopes, no matter what his starting point is, conflicts will eventually break out.

Since that's the case, why bother to look forward to it? It's not Li Chengqian's character to be afraid of wolves and tigers in front of you.

"Old Wei said this, it would be a bit ambition to others and destroy his own prestige. Whether the five surnames and seven hopes are powerful or not, they always have to do it before they know that being timid before the fight is not a lonely personality."

That’s right, I, Li Chengqian, are so arrogant.

If you take life and death lightly, do it if you don’t accept it.

"Your Highness..."

Wei Zheng wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian: "Old Wei, Gu asked his father to let you be the prince to wash his horse. The purpose is to let you assist Gu in doing things. If you only say 'This is not OK, that is not OK', please submit a resignation report now, and Gu will let you free now."

Wei Zheng had no doubt about Li Chengqian's sincerity and believed that he could do what he said.

Compared with Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian has an absolutely strong personality, has the wisdom to use any means to achieve his goals, and has a vision to see through all the future.

It is both lucky and unfortunate to assist such a prince.

Because, under his guidance, you will never worry about not finding the right direction.

Similarly, under his hands, you have no chance of making mistakes.

With a sigh, Wei Zheng chose to compromise: "Your Highness, the old minister just wants to remind you not to be careless. The five surnames and seven hopes are different from Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun. They... are not so easy to deal with."

Li Chengqian shook his head. Wei Zheng's performance disappointed him, but who made him have no one available now?

With his fingers on the table, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes: "Old Wei is worried too much. The five surnames and seven hopes are not a great existence. If they are conscious of the tact, they will just give in. If they are not ignorant and insist on jumping out as a stumbling block, then don't blame Gu Yiqiu to smash it."

OK, I have backbone. There are not many young people who dare to be so stupid these days.

Wei Zheng asked with a dead horse as a living horse, "So, what is your Highness going to do?"

It's time to show your true strength, otherwise, the old guy Wei Zheng would be afraid that he would soon scare himself to death.

Li Chengqian smiled and picked up several stones from the ground, held them in his palm, fiddling with them, and said, "Old Wei should know that although there are more than 9,000 words that we already know, they are actually only about 3,000 often used."

Wei Zheng nodded. As a scholar, he still has this common sense.

But, what does this have to do with the issues currently being discussed?

Under Wei Zheng's confused gaze, Li Chengqian fiddled with the gravel in his palm: "If Gu gave these stones a number of one, two, three, and four, now Gu changed three and four, can Mr. Wei tell Gu what is the number now?"

"One, two, four, three?"

"No, so what about now?"

Li Chengqian said that No. 1 and No. 4 were changed.

“Four, two, one, three?”

Li Chengqian smiled: "Does Mr. Wei understand now? More than 3,000 commonly used characters, Gu only needs to make these more than 3,000 commonly used characters into font molds. When printing books, you only need to pick out the useful characters and combine them together. You no longer need to carve the full version of the characters like before. This printing method is called movable type printing."

Wei Zheng: "…"

Speaking of this, no matter how stupid he is, he understands it.

Co-author: Others open a printing shop and need to support a large number of carving craftsmen. Printing a book not only takes a lot of time to carve the template, but also re-carve it if you carve it a little wrong.

You can just hire two literate peasant women. The cost of printing a book will basically not incur any costs except for paper and ink.

"Your Highness is really... really..."

Apart from being crazy, Wei Zheng could not find any adjectives to describe Li Chengqian for a while.

"Are Mr. Wei still worried about the rebound of the five surnames and Qiwang?"

Wei Zheng shook his head mechanically.

Not only was he not worried about Li Chengqian now, he began to worry about the five surnames and seven hopes.

When encountering such a crazy prince, the fifth surname Qi Wang is probably in trouble.

...

With Li Chengqian's earnest instructions, Wei Zheng hurriedly left Xichiyuan, summoned craftsmen and made characters. In three or four days, the "Li Weng's Rhyme" signed by Qiu Chuji was printed all over the world.

The price of one hundred articles per work is almost all scholars flock to it. Even if you don’t read the content, it is worth buying at this price alone.

What's more, the content in the book is still very practical for most people. The couplets are a popular writing style during this period. Some readers who cannot master the tricks quickly found what they need from "Li Weng's Pair of Rhyme".

However, there are praises and oppositions. When poor students competed to buy "Li Weng's Rhyme", the counselor Wang Gui was at home.

"Crazy, it's crazy!"

A book called "Li Weng's Rhyme" hits directly on the table of Wang Chongji, the son of Wang Gui. Wang Yan, a son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, stood at the table with a swelling and pointed at the book, saying, "Cousin, my uncle doesn't care about this matter, the prince is bullying us at the door of our house."

Wang Chongji raised his head and looked at his cousin from afar. He said slowly: "It's not as serious as my cousin said, it's just a book. The prince likes to sell it at a discount, which is the prince's freedom. Even if his father wants to take care of it, there is no right reason."

Wang Yan seemed to have expected such a result, and snorted: "Hmph, uncle doesn't care, right? Well, I'll go find someone to deal with this matter now. Isn't Li Chengqian rich to do a loss business? I want to see if he can afford to lose money."
