It is only a few hundred meters away from Hanlin Courtyard to Zichen Hall.

A quarter of an hour later, Pei Shaoqing was already standing in front of the long scroll.

Pei Shaoqing was originally worried that Wu Zetian would ask about the fight in Pingkangfang last night.

As a result, Wu Zetian didn't even mention it. It can be seen that as Wu Sansi said, it was normal for civil officials, military officers, soldiers, gentry and other fights in the Tang Dynasty. As long as there was no life, no one would care about it.

If you are beaten, you will not report to the official as long as you are not disabled.

Of course, don’t be too proud if you win. You will sooner or later find you if you suffer losses.

After the ceremony, Wu Zetian said directly: "Pei Sicheng, Liu Xueshi and eight others have copied and sorted out the 1,024 Tianzi poems presented by Wenqu Xingqu overnight. Do you think there are any fallacies?"

Only then did Pei Shaoqing realize that the four Hanlin scholars including Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing, Fan Lubing, Zhou Simao, and four friends including Du Shenyan, Su Weidao, Li Jiao, and Cui Rong actually spent the whole night last night.

The eight people re-copied 1,024 poems overnight, sorted them out and proofread them.

I felt a little sorry for Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, Luo Binwang and the others.

It seems that this opportunity to be famous in history has nothing to do with Yang Jiong and the others.

This also shows that at least so far, Wu Zetian still attaches more importance to Wu Chengsi.

These thoughts changed and Pei Shaoqing asked again: "How about you, how about checking the Queen?"

"Has I said it a long time ago?" Wu Zetian frowned, "If the verification is correct, it should be handed over to the Secretary and the Hanlin Academy for extensive copying and informing the world!"

Such unprecedented holy auspicious things will naturally be announced to the world.

We must let all the gentry and people all over the world know that Wu Mei is the destiny of heaven!

Pei Shaoqing smiled slightly and said, "But I don't know how many volumes the Queen is going to let the Secretary-General and the Hanlin Academy copy?"

Wu Zetian was already a little impatient, but she still said unhappily: "The territory of our Tang Dynasty is less than ten miles away, and there are more than 360 prefectures and more than 1,500 counties."

"At least five volumes are available for each prefecture and county government."

"I will also give it to the vassal states of the four barbarians."

"So you have to copy ten thousand volumes."

"It's so much." Pei Shaoqing smiled and changed the subject again, "This book is so long, but I don't know how long it is in total? It's more than five feet long, right?"

Gao Lingsong said: "Six zhang and three feet."

"So long?" Pei Shaoqing said, "Isn't it very troublesome to read?"

After saying that, he pointed at the eunuchs such as Gao Lingsong, and continued: "In order to read this volume, the queen actually needs seven or eight people to help, which is too troublesome."

"For example, I want to check a poem at the end of the paper,"

"Wouldn't you just spread the entire scroll?"

"It's so time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive, and it's too inconvenient."

Liu Yizhi's way: "What Pei Sicheng means is to cut it into several volumes?"

"This is absolutely not possible!" Wu Chengsi opposed, "The 1024 auspicious poems presented by Wenqu Xingjun are one, how can they be cut into several volumes for the sake of easy reading?"

Wu Zetian was completely impatient now.

What's going on in a mess?

"Pei Sicheng, what exactly do you want to say?"

Pei Shaoqing knew that the temperature was almost the same.

Pei Shaoqing took out the newly prepared thread-bound book from his sleeve.

"Report to the Queen of Heaven." Pei Shaoqing held up his thread-bound book with both hands and said, "I have a memorial."

Wu Zetian also said that Pei Shaoqing was holding a memorial and took it over at will.

But after taking it, I just flipped it out and found something was wrong.

The memorial is actually a book in essence, just changing the scroll to a fold.

However, the memorial presented by Pei Shaoqing was not a folded book, but a cut page of paper, and was bound together with twine through the edges on the right.

After turning a few pages, I found that it was unexpectedly convenient.

Wu Zetian suddenly realized the extraordinaryness of this "memorial".

If the Tang Dynasty books were changed into this style, reading would become extremely convenient, and the space required to collect books would be greatly reduced.

This thing has its merits for thousands of years!

Wu Zetian's heart was already filled with wind and thunder.

But his face was still calm.

"Pei Sicheng, can this thing have a name?"

"Returning to the Queen." Pei Shaoqing said respectfully, "This thing is called a thread-bound book."

"Line-bound book?" Wu Zetian looked at the bound twine and nodded, "It's appropriate."

Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing and others who were standing next to him were also very curious. This thing is actually a book?

But have books been in volume since ancient times? How can there be such a book bound?

Wu Zetian handed the thread-bound book to Liu Yizhi beside him and said, "You guys, please take a look."

Yuan Wanqing, Du Shenyan and others immediately surrounded Liu Yizhi and rushed to witness this thread-bound book.

It wasn't enough to see it, so everyone circulated it one by one, and then they were amazed there one by one.

"Tsk tsk, can books be bound like this?"

“It’s really convenient to read.”

“It’s also very convenient to collect.”

"Yes, it takes up much smaller space than the reel."

"If it is changed to a thread-bound book, the Secret Pavilion can collect millions of books!"

"Genius, this is really the creativity of genius. Pei Sicheng is good at it for a long time!"

Four Hanlin bachelors and four direct bachelors in Hongwenguan gathered together and first praised the thread-bound books, then praised Pei Shaoqing, and looked very sincere.

Pei Shaoqing pointed to the scroll that Gao Lingsong and the others were still holding, and said, "Qizhao, why not change this scroll to a thread-bound book and publish it all over the world? This can greatly save the cost of the national treasury."

Wu Zetian's expression suddenly moved when he heard this, which was a good suggestion.

Wu Chengsi frowned and retorted: "No, how important is the 1024 auspicious poems presented by Wenqu Xingjun? It is not enough to show its solemnity if it is not a yellow silk scroll."

"This is a bad word." Pei Shaoqing shook his head and said, "The auspicious poems presented by Wenqu Xingjun emphasize content rather than form. The gentry and people in the world will only spread the poems and the great achievements of the queen of heaven, and will not care whether the court will promulgate the world with yellow silk scrolls or publish them with thread-bound books."

"It's still not possible." Wu Chengsi said anxiously, "The thread-bound books are made of paper, which is very easy to break."

"This is simple." Pei Shaoqing said with a smile, "The cost of wire-bound books is low, so it is only if five volumes are not enough, is fifty volumes per place enough?"

Speaking of this, Pei Shaoqing said to Wu Zetian: "It is precisely because the cost of thread-bound books is low that it is more conducive to the large-scale dissemination of this auspiciousness. If a county only gets five scrolls, how long will it take to spread throughout the county? And if there are fifty thread-bound books, the spreading speed will be ten times that of the scrolls, and it is very likely to spread to the most obstructed parts of the countryside."
