Pei Yan's wishful thinking is still very loud.

He coaxed Liu Rengui away first, and from then on, he had the final say in the Political Affairs Hall.

Then use power or find other ways to get a thousand volumes of classics, history, and sub-copy from the Imperial College.

It is impossible to give poor children a fair study opportunity to have fair study opportunities. Only when poor children have no books to read can children from aristocratic families monopolize the imperial examination field.

At that moment, he gave Cui Zhiwen, Li Yiyan, Wei Xuan and others a wink.

Cui Zhiwen, Li Yiyan and Wei Xuantong could only sit down with their noses pinched.

Wu Zetian was solemn: "Old Liu Ge was loyal to the country, with a noble character and a noble character, and admired him. He bought a thousand collections of classics, history and scholars to give to the children of the poor family of the Imperial College. I really couldn't bear to refuse."

After saying this, he asked Pei Yan again: "What do you think Pei Ge Lao thinks?"

Pei Yan said: "Gei Liu is so noble and honest, and I am deeply impressed by me."

"Okay, so lonely." Wu Zetian said, "But there is no need for Mr. Liu to pay for this money."

Liu Rengui bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager, before returning home, the old minister only made such a request, please make sure to fulfill it."

"Okay, that's OK." Wu Zetian sighed and said, "But I don't know how much it costs to print a set of classics, history, and books? Is it cheap?"

Liu Yizhi replied: "I'm afraid it won't be cheap."

Pei Yan glanced at Liu Rengui and said, "It is said that when the Shouchao Department borrowed books to copy, the history books alone had loaded several cars. Even if they were transcribed into thread-bound books, there were probably as many as hundreds of volumes."

Liu Yizhi said: "The Empress Dowager, why not summon Pei Sicheng to ask?"

Wu Zetian nodded lightly and ordered: "Xuan Pei Shaoqing meets you."

Gao Lingsong immediately turned around and sang to the outside of the hall, "Xuan, capture the Chief Pei Shaoqing, and meet him!"

Less than a moment after the edict was put down, Pei Shaoqing quickly walked into the Ideological and Political Hall and worshiped: "I am the guard and capture the Chief Pei Shaoqing of the Minister, and pay homage to the Empress Dowager."

"Flat."

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Pei Shaoqing bowed and stood up again.

Wu Zetian said: "Pei Sicheng, how did the classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and literature are printed?"

"Return to the Queen Mother, it is currently being printed." Pei Shaoqing said with his hands crossed, "It will be printed soon."

"So fast?" Wu Zetian was stunned when she heard this.

Pei Yan, Cui Zhiwen and others also felt a stern.

What does this mean that the Shogami can publish a complete set of classics, history, and sub-collections so quickly?

Doesn’t this mean that the Shouchao Department can publish thousands of collections of classics, history, and literature in a short period of time? This is amazing. Doesn’t this mean that the monopoly of books by the aristocratic families will be vanished?

This also means that the children of aristocratic families will no longer be able to monopolize the officialdom! This is very troublesome!

"Quick?" Pei Shaoqing said, "This is really not fast. In order to publish this set of classics, history and books, we have been preparing for almost half a year, and have paid a huge price beyond imagination. The Queen Mother and all the elders of the Pavilion, you don't know how expensive it is to publish classics, history and books!"

"I knew it would be so expensive,"

"I didn't print it at the beginning."

“Hand-copying is more cost-effective.”

Hearing this, Pei Yan and others quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they did not believe it. It is necessary to know that Pei Shaoqing is so cunning that he must not believe it, otherwise he might repeat the same mistake and suffer a great loss.

"So that's it, I'm saying."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "I wonder how much it costs to publish a set of classics, history, and literature collections?"

Pei Shaoqing immediately became alert and asked back: "Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly ask about this?"

"What?" Wu Zetian's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Do you still want to hide it from being alone?"

"No, I have no intention of this." Pei Shaoqing was shocked and said hurriedly, "It's just that I can't say well about this cost, I can only estimate it."

Wu Zetian said: "Then let's estimate it roughly."

"Here." Pei Shaoqing responded and said, "In order to publish this set of classics, history, and literature, I have temporarily hired more than 100 Imperial College students and more than 50 copying history."

"And it took more than four months in total."

"The cost of copying alone would cost more than 2,000 chunks."

"Wait." Pei Yan frowned, "How much is the monthly salary of the copying officer of the guard and capture department?"

"Not much." Pei Shaoqing smiled, "It's just one guan, it's better to work overtime."

Li Yiyan snatched his fingers for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "It's almost the same."

Pei Yan said: "So, is the cost of publishing 50 sets of classics, history and sub-collections?"

"What are you thinking about, Mr. Pei Ge? This is just the cost of copying." Pei Shaoqing said angrily, "I haven't mentioned the labor costs of engraving molds, paper ink and printing."

Wu Zetian said: "Just tell me how much it costs."

"Here." Pei Shaoqing responded and said, "In order to publish these 50 sets of classics, history and literature collections, it has been spent 20,000 yuan!"

"Twenty thousand coins?"

Pei Yan, Cui Zhiwen and others were shocked.

This price is not cheap, and it is a cost price!

Wu Zetian said: "That is to say, a set requires 400 jin?"

"Absolutely." Pei Shaoqing nodded and responded.

"Ge Lao Liu." Pei Yan asked Liu Renguidao, "Are you sure you have to pay the money?"

"I'm sure." Liu Renguidao, "I have also saved a little over the years. Although I have a lot of 400,000 guan, I can still make it up if I get it together."

"Wait, what are the two cabinet masters talking about?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "What 400,000 guan? Why can't I understand?"

"That's it." Liu Yi's words, "Old Liu Ge is preparing to pay 400,000 coins to let you publish 1,000 sets of classics, history, and copy them for free to the poor children in the Imperial College."

Wu Zetian said: "If you print it again, the cost should be lower, right?"

"It's not low." Pei Shaoqing shook his head, "Because the ink is a special ink, it's extremely harmful to the font molds, so it's necessary to re-engrave it if you print about 50 sets, so the cost really cannot be reduced."

"You're talking nonsense." Wu Zetian said angrily, "You didn't say that when you first published the Xiangrui poetry collection. You said that the cost of printing a thread-bound book is always much, right?"

"Empress Dowager, you have to talk about this minister."

Pei Shaoqing complained: "I originally thought that the cost of a collection of poems was always the same as the most. Who would have thought that it would cost more than five cents of money when actually printing it!"

"For this, I have compensated more than 200,000 yuan."

"So, can you make up for these 200,000 coins?"

"How can this be done?" Wu Zetian said, "If you have words, you will be trusted."

Pei Shaoqing said, "Forget about publishing the auspicious poetry collection, who made me not understand clearly? But now, we can't let the guards pay the money to publish the money, right?"

Liu Renguidao: "Don't worry, Pei Sicheng, I won't let you lose money."

After saying this, he said, "You just need to print a thousand sets as soon as possible."

"The Master Liu Ge is very righteous, and the officials admire him." Pei Shaoqing bowed and said, "Please rest assured that the Master Liu Ge is sure that the official will publish this thousand sets of classics, history, and literature in a timely manner."

Liu Renguidao: "I have already begged for bones from the Empress Dowager and will return home soon, so I'll ask Pei Sicheng to hurry up."

"That's it." Pei Shaoqing pondered, "Please ask the senior officials to give their officials ten days. When the officials return, they will recruit more craftsmen and wood carving craftsmen to handle the matters, and they will be done within ten days."

"Thank you Pei Sicheng." Liu Rengui said happily.

"Hey, it should be my subordinate who thanked the elders." Pei Shaoqing said.

"Okay, you go back and prepare for printing." Wu Zetian said.

"Here!" Pei Shaoqing crossed his hands and bowed and left the Ideological and Political Hall.

...

Half an hour later, the Political Affairs Hall was over.

Liu Yizhi did not return to the Imperial College immediately, but instead came to the Hanlin Academy.

First, I met my former colleagues such as Yuan Wanqing, and second, I wanted to find Pei Shaoqing.

After meeting Yuan Wanqing and the others, Liu Yizhi went straight to the guard and capture department, and Pei Shaoqing happened to be there.

"Old Liu, sit down!" Pei Shaoqing asked Liu Yizhi to take his seat with stern hands, and then turned around and greeted, "Erlang gives tea!"

"I won't eat tea." Liu Yizhi waved his hand, "I'll just chat with you for a few words, and then I'll go back to the Imperial College."

"Old Liu, don't rush to refuse." Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "My tea is different. I'm sure you want to drink it twice after drinking it."

"It's like it's true."

Liu Yizhi sneered: "It seems like I have never eaten tea."
