Chapter 170 Successfully fooled a person
The two talked for a while, and then Cen Wenben went downstairs. He now had a lot of things to do, and he was almost racing against time.

After Cen Wen left, Wei Ting rushed in, and Li Yuanji was a little surprised for a moment.

"I've met King Qi."

Li Yuanji looked at Wei Ting seriously and was a little confused for a moment.

"Zhengping, get up quickly. What happened? What happened in the academy?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ting took out two books and placed them on the table. Li Yuanji picked them up and saw that they were just ordinary books. But after reading them, Li Yuanji suddenly understood. At this time, Wei Ting's voice also came over.

"May I ask, King Qi, how did you do this? The two books are exactly the same, the handwriting is neat, the line spacing and the spacing are exactly the same. Not only these two books, but all the books distributed to students in the academy are exactly the same.

As far as I know, even if the same person copied the book, it is impossible for every word to be exactly the same. How did the King of Qi do it so neatly? "

Wei Ting was really surprised. He had been teaching the students in the college to read some time ago, but had not distributed the books yet. After they had a certain foundation, the books were distributed to the students today. However, after Wei Ting looked at them one by one, he was shocked.

It was precisely because he knew that human transcription could not achieve this that he was puzzled. Thinking of the various miracles that Li Yuanji had created here, Wei Ting immediately had a guess in his mind.

There was another most important factor that made him come to Li Yuanji, that is, he had no idea when Li Yuanji had asked people to copy. Now there are many students in the academy, and copying so many books will definitely not be a small task, and it will require enough manpower to do it.

But he didn't receive any message, nor did he feel anything, and since every book was exactly the same, he became more and more certain.

Li Yuanji looked at the serious Wei Ting, smiled, and then stood up.

"Zhengping must be very confused. Come on, follow me."

Li Yuanji was the first to stand up and leave. Wei Ting followed behind Li Yuanji. At this moment, he was a little shocked. He knew very well that Li Yuanji should take him to see this secret, but it was precisely because this was extremely subversive of the times and very confidential that he was shocked. Was Li Yuanji really willing to let him see it?

Wei Ting was a little nervous for a moment. Now he knew that sometimes knowing too much was not a good thing. He had a hunch that if he went to see it, it would be difficult for him to leave Lingnan.

Wei Ting's intuition was indeed correct. Li Yuanji took him to see it because he was not going to let Wei Ting go. Now that he was sure that Wei Ting was such a talent, he did not want to miss it. As for the fact that he was Li Jiancheng's man, he was not afraid. If Wei Ting wanted to send a message, he could send it, as long as it was not other secrets.

Even if Li Jiancheng was given this printing technology, Li Yuanji probably would not dare to use it. The people around Li Jiancheng are all from noble families. If he dared to use this thing, those noble families would probably turn against him.

Moreover, if Li Jiancheng fails in the future, Wei Ting will completely give up hope and will simply become a member of the Prince of Qi's mansion.

If Li Jiancheng wins, the worst that can happen is that Wei Ting will be returned to him. It won't have much impact. Anyway, for him, this is a sure-win deal.

Li Yuanji took Wei Ting to the printing place. When Wei Ting saw it, he was shocked and smiled bitterly. He was shocked that the printing was so simple, efficient and magical. The reason for the bitter smile was that the printing was a little simple, but no one could think of such a simple object, but Li Yuanji did.

It was indeed just as Wei Ting thought. What he saw here were all very simple. However, such simple things had not been thought of by anyone. This was very infuriating. However, at the same time, he had to admire Li Yuanji's great wisdom.

Even after walking out of the printing place, Wei Ting was still shocked as to what this printing technology represented. He was a smart man and could quickly figure out its meaning. If used well, it would be a help to the aristocratic family. If used to an extreme, the aristocratic family would not disappear, but they would definitely not be able to control the knowledge in their hands like they do now.

The influence of aristocratic families will inevitably decline, but even if it does, it will take at least decades or even hundreds of years to achieve this, because even with printing technology to cultivate talents, the cycle in between, the growth and gradual formation of talents, and the increase in their numbers all take time.

The noble families would not sit still and wait for death. If the emperor could train them, could they not train and win them over? In terms of quality, there was also a big difference, but the arrogance of the noble families would be reduced, and it was impossible for the noble families to replace them.

After coming out, Wei Ting was full of hesitation. He was hesitating whether to ask Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji's voice came first.

"Zhengping, now you can see that this is how it is done. The person in charge of printing has been explaining it to you for a long time. You should know the principle of this printing technique.

You can tell your eldest brother about this. There is nothing hidden in this. After all, printing technology is a good thing for the court. It is beneficial to the court and it will be a powerful weapon to counter the aristocratic families.

I know you are also from an aristocratic family, but you are different. You don't have so many ties to your family, and I don't hate aristocratic families. But you have to tell my brother that although aristocratic families should be used, they must also be guarded against. Some aristocratic families with ulterior motives are too large and will only disrupt the court's decision-making.

You should know which families I am talking about, so you don’t have to worry at all.”

Li Yuanji said this to Wei Ting. As for whether Wei Ting would do it or not, that was Wei Ting's business. No matter what happened in the future, it would have nothing to do with him, Li Yuanji. Although he invented the printing technology, once it was leaked in the future, it would not necessarily be credited to him, Li Yuanji.

Because he was not the only one who knew the printing technique, there was also Li Jiancheng.

After hearing this, Wei Ting felt quite complicated. He knew very well the meaning of what Li Yuanji said to him. He had never expected that Li Yuanji had such a clear understanding. The good and bad of the aristocratic families had already been demonstrated. If they united, they had the ability to change the dynasty.

Wei Ting knew very well which aristocratic families Li Yuanji mentioned. Compared with those top aristocratic families, the current Wei family still had a long way to go.

The Wei family has not yet reached the point of disrupting the court's decision-making.

Wei Ting bowed deeply to Li Yuanji.

"The words of the King of Qi are like a revelation to me. Since I returned to Chang'an, I have heard about the changes in the King of Qi. Now I understand him even more deeply. The King of Qi is really a wise man. I was just waiting for him to show his wisdom.

I will certainly inform the Crown Prince of this matter in a letter, and the words of the King of Qi will be conveyed to the Crown Prince without missing a word. I thank the King of Qi."
