Wu Zetian and Duan Jian and others played against each other in the Lin De Palace, because it was a confidential matter, except for the people present, the news was tightly sealed, and the wealthy families who were listening to Yuxuan were even more impossible. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Listening to Yuxuan, with the suppression of the old-timer Li Chuang, no one quarreled with each other because of personal grudges, and the discussion was finally able to continue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to come today, in addition to the matter of food, I also want to discuss with you how to take advantage of the crisis of food shortage in Chang'an City to obtain enough benefits for our many families." Cui Zhige said loudly.

"What does this Cui Shijiu want to do, get enough benefits, he doesn't look at when this is, it's enough to be able to use the grain to get some profits, and he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, he really thinks that the court is a vegetarian, although His Majesty is seriously ill now, but that Queen of Heaven is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it really angered her, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat and go around." It was Wang Bingzhong who spoke, in addition to Wang Bingzhong, as soon as Cui Zhige's words landed, many representatives of the wealthy families below began to discuss.

"Why should Thirteen Lang be anxious, let's listen to what good proposals this Cui Nineteen has, anyway, if it is really beneficial, my Zheng family will not let it go, but if the Cui family wants to use this name, so that many family members can help him Cui family take the lead, my Zheng family will definitely not do it." Zheng Yuan, who was on the side, heard Wang Bingzhong's complaint and said with a faint smile on his face.

As soon as Wang Bingzhong and Zheng Yuan finished discussing, someone next to them asked Cui Zhige a question.

"Cui Nineteen, I don't know how you want to use this opportunity to help our family get more benefits, it won't be that your Cui family wants to use our family to take the lead for you, and then let your Cui family benefit from the left hand of the fisherman!" It was a person from the Wei family in Gyeonggi who spoke, Wei Chang.

Although the Wei family is not as famous as the five surnames and Qiwang, it is not a small family, and the saying 'Wei Du in the capital, go to Tianqi Wu' has been spread since the time of the Sui Dynasty.

And the reason why Wei Chang spoke like this is also because in the last time many big families jointly impeached Duan Jian, the Wei family was punished the most severely, just in the capital, there were three officials above the fifth grade who were belittled or directly dismissed by Wu Zetian, this time the Cui family was going to take the opportunity to make trouble, how could Wei Chang give him a good face.

Seeing that it was Wei Chang who came forward, Cui Zhige's face was a little unnatural, after all, the last impeachment was indeed initiated by the Cui family, but in the end, not only did the impeachment not succeed, but suffered huge losses, more than a dozen officials from wealthy families were demoted or dismissed, originally these officials were not a thing for powerful wealthy families, but in the middle, the Wei family was indeed a little unlucky, more than a dozen officials were implicated, and there were three members of the Wei family, which had to make everyone feel embarrassed.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Cui Zhige still bowed to Wei Chang and said, "Wei Qilang, please rest assured, the last time it happened, it was my Cui family who was not secret, and Duan Jian's child got the opportunity in advance, and finally fell short, not only did not complete the task, but also made everyone suffer heavy losses, here a representative of the Cui family apologized to Qilang and the Wei family, but please rest assured Qilang, this time Chang'an City is out of food, it is a huge opportunity, as long as we make good use of it, we will definitely be able to get many benefits, and the court has to promise us, Otherwise, they would have to watch a month later, millions of people in Chang'an City and hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border gates starving. ”

"Okay, Nineteen Lang, what do you think, you can tell everyone, so that we can know if your plan is feasible." Seeing that Cui Zhige hadn't talked about the topic for a long time, Li Chuang, who was old and angry, couldn't help but say a little.

As soon as Li Chuang spoke, the people who were originally discussing quieted down and fixed their eyes on Cui Zhige.

"You all know that many of my wealthy families are families that have been inherited for thousands or hundreds of years, have you ever thought about why the dynasty has changed in this world, but our families can continue to pass on." Speaking of this, Cui Zhige paused, glanced at everyone, and then continued.

"Our family can be passed down all the time, not by the trust of the emperor, nor by the support of the army, but by the continuous emergence of various talents, it is these constantly emerging talents, so that I and other families have an endless inheritance, but have you ever thought about how these talented people are produced.

They rely on the various knowledge accumulated in the family, only to cultivate, with this talented people, even if the imperial court wantonly suppresses our family, but as long as he still needs our family of wisdom to govern the country for him, we can also survive tenaciously, it can be said that these talented people are the real foundation of our family.

But now it is different, in addition to our families, the imperial court took advantage of the convenience of printing technology to open bookstores in all states and counties across the country, what is this, this is the foundation for the imperial court to completely cut off our families.

With the bookstore, those poor children can easily obtain all kinds of inheritance, although in a short period of time, because of the relationship between the heritage, there will not be many talented people among them, but over time, with this huge population heritage, there will always be some talents, and this kind of talent will be more and more with the passage of time, at that time, we are afraid that these families will really be completely cut off, even if it will not be broken, without the maintenance of the imperial court, how to compare with those poor children, the former Wang Xie is our experience. ”

Cui Zhige's words, although everyone discussed them when they jointly impeached Duan Jian and the vulgar bookstore last time, they didn't care too much about it at the time, after all, they were just facing a small person Duan Jian at that time, and later because of Wu Zetian's intervention, under the thunderous means, even if the unwilling family had to stop and dare not speak, I didn't expect that at this time, Cui Zhige said these words again.

"Why, Nineteen Lang is planning to take advantage of this crisis of food shortage in Chang'an City to force the imperial court to withdraw its plan to use printing to open bookstores in various states and counties across the country." Li Chuang asked with a flat expression.

"Yes, in order to maintain the majesty of our family, and for our family to be able to pass on forever, we must completely destroy the thing that has cut off the foundation of our family." Cui Zhige nodded and replied.
