In Jingyang, the first set of live copper characters has been created at this time.

Ye Jun called Xu Xu into a secret room in the county government office.

This first set of live copper characters is sealed in this secret room.

Next to this set of live copper characters, the top paper has been prepared.

This paper was not produced in Jingyang, but bought by Ye Jun.

At this time, the live copper characters have been prepared, so we should naturally try it. The paper from Jingyang has not been made, so we can only buy some paper and try it out first.

Ye Jun started to type, brush ink, and then print.

But in a short while, two Analects of Confucius were printed by Ye Jun.

After waiting for the handwriting to dry, Ye Jun folded the Analects of Confucius on these pages, and then used needles and threads to tie up all the papers.

Two freshly released Analects of Confucius were published like this.

Xu Xu took these two Analects and looked carefully, and found that the handwriting on it was very clear and every stroke was very perfect.

"Mr. Ye is really good at doing things!"

Xu Xu praised, but Ye Jun waved his hand quickly: "It's all the credit of the marquis. If it weren't for the marquis' guidance, how could the subordinates do such things?"

"We don't think of this thing, but we don't want to think about it. How long has the seal been around, no one has just thought about it in this regard."

Xu Xu shook his head and said, "It's because I'm too lazy. I wanted to give the academy a hundred sets of Four Books and Five Classics. I asked the King of Wei. If I buy 100 sets of Four Books and Five Classics, the King of Wei said that one set would cost 100 stakes. If I copy it myself, it would only cost about ten stakes. The gap between the two is too big. I wanted to copy it myself, but when I thought the number of words was too many. If I copy it a hundred copies, wouldn't it be useless? Then I wondered if there was any simple way, so I thought of seals. If I wrote a word for each seal, and then sorted all the seals and pressed them on the paper, wouldn't it be fine. But most of the seals were made of jade. If I accidentally fell, they would be broken. I thought of the copper coins being melted into copper movable type, so that this was born."

After Xu Xu finished speaking, he stroked the set of copper movable type and said, "It's still convenient for this thing. From now on, we will have as many books as we want!"

"Yes, with this thing, our Jingyang will be rich and will be as rich as the country in the future!"

Ye Jun also sighed, but he immediately said, "But we still have to share this thing with Your Majesty. If we don't have His Majesty's protection, we can't defend it."

"So, let's hand these two Analects of Confucius to His Majesty."

Xu Xu stacked two Analects of Confucius in a stack, then put them in Ye Jun's hand, and said, "Please give me a memorial to Your Majesty, and see what Your Majesty says."

"How to write a memorandum?"

Ye Jun didn't know what Xu Xu was going to write, so he asked.

Xu Xu glanced at Ye Jun, then said, "You don't need to write anything, just hand over these two Analects of Confucius, and that's fine."

"that's all?"

Ye Jun was confused. Will Li Er be cut off by Li Er when playing games like this?

"Just like this, I wrote the memorial. If someone saw it, wouldn't it be a disaster? Just handed it over, others would definitely not see what it means. Your Majesty will definitely try every means to think about what it means. In the end, he will definitely think of it. If he can't think of it, he will come over to ask."

Xu Xu was not worried that he would be chopped by Li Er at all.

Li Er is not that violent. Maybe it was like this before, but it will definitely not be like this now.

The matter at Xuanwu Sect was his lifelong stain. In order to clean up the impact of this incident, he had to suppress his inner impulses for the rest of his life.

If he had not suppressed his inner impulse, a certain boss named Wei would probably have been three feet tall.

Xu Xu's memorial was quite fast. The distance between Jingyang and Chang'an was basically the next day. It was delivered today, but it couldn't arrive on the same day, and it was basically the next day.

Li Er did receive Xu Xu’s comment the next day.

This is the first time that Xu Xu has handed him a memorial since he became a Marquis of Jingyang County. The key is that he didn't understand what the memorial meant.

What are the two Analects of Confucius?

Can't understand it at all?

Li Shimin was a little helpless and had no idea what Xu Xu meant.

So Li Er called Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui over.

I can only ask these few people to come and help advise on this matter.

"Fuji, Keming, Xuanling, I have received a memorial here. I am ashamed. I don't understand. Come and help me see what this means?"

Li Er pushed two copies of the Analects of Confucius forward and signaled the three to watch.

Changsun Wuji first reached out and directly held two copies of the Analects of Confucius in his hand. After a few glances, he said, "Is this the Analects of Confucius? Two copies? Isn't it a puzzle?"

Changsun Wuji frowned, thought for a while, then shook his head, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I can't guess what this means."

Changsun Wuji handed over the two Analects of Confucius to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. They each took one copy and flipped through it. There was no typo in the Analects of Confucius. After reading for a long time, the two exchanged for a while, and then they started to flip again.

Du Ruhui read it for a long time, then said to Li Shimin: "I have not discovered any special situation. These two Analects of Confucius are the same, without any typos. I don't know what this means."

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Fang Xuanling suddenly stared at Du Ruhui and said, "Du Xiang, what did you say in the last sentence?"

"There are no typos in these two Analects."

"No, let's say another sentence!"

"These two Analects of Confucius are exactly the same."

"Yes! That's right! These two Analects of Confucius are exactly the same!"

Fang Xuanling immediately said, "Your Majesty, these two Analects are exactly the same! You see, the handwriting on them is exactly the same. Even if they are written by one person, it is impossible to be exactly the same because the writing is different. Even if you copy, there will be some differences, but these two Analects are exactly the same. There is something strange about it!"

Fang Xuanling's words immediately aroused Li Shimin's idea. He took two books of the Analects of Confucius and started to read them carefully.

After a while, Li Shimin raised his head and said, "Yes, it's really the same!"

"But in this case, what does he want to explain?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask back, but he couldn't guess what Xu Xu meant.

"I don't know!"

Li Shimin's three loyal ministers said in unison.

"Then call this guy over and I'll ask him personally what it means!"
