The reason why Li Er hadn't moved his body yet was because he still had a question in his heart that he urgently wanted to answer.
In the hall, Wei Zheng seemed to have sensed something. After hearing Li Chengqian's incisive suggestion for the court examination, he threw out another difficult question.
"Your Highness, what about what we said before? How can we make all the students in the world have books to read in the shortest time possible?”
Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and continued to ask.
It was as if he would not leave until he gave a solution.
Wu Meiniang, who was serving at the side, looked at Wei Zheng in surprise, then looked at Li Chengqian. At this moment, she was already extremely shocked.
It was as if he did not expect the Crown Prince to have such high knowledge!
Facing the difficult problem thrown by Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian pondered for two seconds and shook his head.
"Actually, this question is not difficult, but it is not easy either…"
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up. He guessed that the other party must have an idea!
"If Your Highness has any good ideas, feel free to speak…"
Wei Zheng could not wait to resolve the doubts in his heart.
Li Chengqian didn't keep him in suspense and gave a plausible answer.
"Let all the students in the world have a book in their hands and enter the Academy. Naturally, they will all read the book.”
Wei Zheng was stunned.
It was useless to say this. Who didn't know that this would be the result?
What he wanted now was the process of achieving this result. What method could he use to achieve it?
Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness, these words are easy to say. However, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens to do it…"
" Even if the entire directorate copied and printed the books, it would not be enough to supply all the students in the world…"
If it was that easy, the five surnames and seven Wangs would never have been able to continue their thousands of years of inheritance, let alone have the ability to compete with the Guanlong Group.
It was nothing more than grasping the lifeblood of knowledge. All the students in the world were at the mercy of it.
Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had high positions in the government, would not be looked up to by the world's scholars if they did not marry into the families of the five surnames and seven surnames.
This was the current situation at that time. It was a competition of inheritance and reputation. Otherwise, even if the grassroots made a comeback, they would still not be valued by the literati.
Li Chengqian naturally understood the difficulty that Wei Zheng mentioned. Even the simplest copying of books was not something that could be done with hands.
The level of cultural knowledge was not high to begin with. Ordinary people did not even know how to read. If they were asked to copy a book stroke by stroke, they might copy it into a heavenly book. After copying it, others would not understand it at all.
As for the art of printing, there was only block printing in the Tang Dynasty. It was not flexible enough and inefficient. It was also a little awkward when faced with many ancient books.
"Who said I had to use my hands?"
"The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use tools!”
The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth curled up.
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
"Your Highness, are you referring to printing?"
" Your Highness, this engraving is actually not as…"
Before Wei Zheng could finish, he was interrupted by Li Chengqian.
"Who said anything about engraving?"
"That thing is indeed clumsy and difficult to deal with…"
" I have a humble opinion. Let's call it movable type printing, which means..."
After listening to Li Chengqian's 'shallow views', Wei Zheng was shocked once again!
A pair of round eyes stared at Li Chengqian, and his mouth was slightly open in surprise. His face was filled with disbelief.
If Li Chengqian's previous " shallow views " on the imperial examination system were due to his outstanding knowledge, then the improvements to the printing technique at this moment made Wei Zheng look at him in a new light!
This had already jumped out of the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics that were usually taught and involved knowledge of craftsmanship.
It was like a chef cutting out a set of clothes. No matter how you looked at it, you couldn't believe it.
But the truth was right in front of him!
Li Er, who was eavesdropping outside the hall, was also shocked!
Towards Li Chengqian in the hall, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
Even Li Er began to ponder in his heart. Was this really his son?
This was too f * cking awesome!
"Your Highness…Why are you so interested in craftsmanship?”
Wei Zheng was shocked.
He originally thought that Li Chengqian's recitation would be awesome, and the scope would also be within the Four Books and Five Classics. Everyone was the same.
Now, it seemed that he had underestimated Li Chengqian's knowledge…
Seeing Wei Zheng so surprised, Li Chengqian waved his hand nonchalantly.
"This is just some shallow opinions. It's nothing.”
The more Li Chengqian said that he didn't care, the more embarrassed Wei Zheng felt.
To Li Chengqian, it was just a "shallow opinion" that was not worth mentioning, but it solved all the drawbacks of the imperial examination system!
Not only that, if printing was really improved, the production of books would have a breakthrough.
This was definitely an epoch-making revolution!
If all the students in the world had books to read, then the chess game that the five surnames and seven Wangs had been playing for hundreds of years would start to collapse from this moment.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Zheng's mood became uncomplicated at this moment.
Why was the difference between people so big?
Although the doubts in his heart had been answered, Wei Zheng's emotions were mixed. He was indescribably happy, but also indescribably ashamed.
Especially when he thought about how he had scornfully taught Li Chengqian some time ago, this made Wei Zheng's old face turn red and white.
