Tai Chi Hall, when Fang Xuanling and the others arrived, looking at the recital on Li Er's table, they were all a little puzzled.

What's wrong with that?

It's only been a few days, and here you go?

"Your Majesty, these movements?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's all the excerpts of those Shi clan officials, saying that someone is undermining the stability of the Chang'an market and peddling an extremely cheap paper, so that those who rely on paper workshops to make a living have no way to live." ”

"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable!" When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "As for the price of the paper before, Weichen has to stay three feet away from it when he sees it!" Not to mention anyone else?

As soon as this cheap paper came out, it could be regarded as a benefit to the world's readers. ”

"Wu Guogong's words are not bad." The eldest grandson Wuji rarely agreed with Wei Chigong's words, "Now the old minister also learned about this matter, and specially went to the street to take a look, those scholars who couldn't afford to read books and buy paper in the past all returned with a smile on their faces."

Lao Chen also asked a few people, and they said that although the color of this paper was a little worse, it was cheaper, and it was not hindered to write. ”

From the moment he knew the price of paper, he knew that it was a lucrative business, and since the eldest grandson family had the opportunity to participate, how could he give up?

Money, everyone is lacking.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he also said: "This is indeed a good thing for the benefit of scholars all over the world. ”

As a servant, if you think that Fang Xuanling only values the interests in it, it is too much to underestimate him.

Like Wei Zheng, he still values the revitalization of culture and education with this cheap paper.

If Datang's culture and education can get a qualitative improvement when he is in power, it is far from being comparable to some wealth.

Of course, he is willing to make money by the way.

No one has a grudge against money.

As for Wei Chi Jingde, okay, this guy is just a-stirring stick, it doesn't matter if he makes money or not, as long as he can be happy, he can do everything well.

However, if you really want to say that Wei Chi Jingde is so simple on the surface, it is not right.

This guy can do something to force Li Yuan to abdicate, which can be seen.

In his life, he is really lying on the merit book, which is enough for him to eat for three generations.

"Indeed." Li Er nodded and said, "Such cheap paper is indeed a blessing for students all over the world. ”

At this point, even Li Er agrees.

Like Fang Xuanling, whether he makes money or not, he really doesn't care, but the impact of this matter itself makes him care.

As for the price of the paper in the past, Wei Chigong said that he had to take a detour when he saw it, which is indeed an exaggeration, but it also fully explains the high price of paper.

It is precisely because of the expensive paper that the road to study for students all over the world is particularly difficult.

Nowadays, cheap paper is admired by many students as soon as it comes to the market, precisely because they see hope.

Li Er values this point.

As long as there are more scholars in the world, can the scholars still monopolize knowledge and monopolize the court like the former Sui?

"It's a good thing." Wei Zheng stood up and said, "But it does make the craftsmen who rely on the paper workshop for their livelihood less income." ”

He is such a person, as long as there is a problem, he will point it out accurately.

So everyone privately thinks that whoever you are teammates with should not be teammates with him.

No way, this guy could shoot at his own people at any time!

And it's the kind that fires all at every turn.

Who the can handle this?

"No, who the hell are you from?" Wei Chi Jingde immediately questioned.

The others shut up.

You asked a lonely question.

Wei Zheng is nowhere either, he only talks about the Fa and reason, if you talk to him about this, it is completely like playing the piano to the cow.

"Could it be that the old man is wrong?" Wei Zheng was not intimidated at all, "This paper has indeed benefited the world's readers, which is right." But it did cut off the way of life for those who used paper-making workshops.

Could it be that the scholars in the world are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and those who open paper workshops are not the people of my Datang? ”

"It's not that you won't let them sell!" Wei Chi Jingde said angrily, "You let them sell it!" ”

"Can you sell it?" Wei Zheng said angrily, "Ten pieces of paper, if they sell it for a day, the family will have to hang themselves that night!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde was also angry: "Then what do you say!" If the court has to invent a text, all the paper will have a price with them, and the people in the world will not be allowed to jump! ”

"Okay, you two don't have to argue." Seeing this, Fang Xuanling said, "The matter of the paper workshop is easy to solve." ”

"How to fix it?" Xiao Yu asked.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "In the final analysis, the quality of the paper on the market is still a little worse, and its audience is those poor students and ordinary people. The share of paper mills, in fact, is not much damaged. ”

And that is true.

Even if it's them, no one in their own house uses that kind of paper with a knife of ten dollars.

It's not that there are no conditions, and there is no need to pick and search on it.

"The servant still doesn't see the crux of the problem." Xiao Yu said, "I have also seen this paper with ten cents and one knife, in the final analysis, it is still the immaturity of the process, and after the process is mature, it is difficult to say that it will not make better paper than today."

This paper is now much better than today's paper except for its poor color, but in other respects, it is much better than today's paper. ”

Nodding, Fang Xuanling said, "This is indeed something to consider." ”

After speaking, Fang Xuanling looked at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to take this opportunity to come forward by the imperial court and acquire these paper workshops, even if there are any accidents in the future, these workshops can be preserved." ”

Li Er nodded, this is indeed a method.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he didn't say anything more.

When he saw this paper, he expected this situation, and discussed it with Fang Xuanling.

This is the best solution they have discussed.

Of course, there are some things that are not well known.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, this paper was made by Li Chengqian, and they can accept it.

If Murong Shun or Murong Fuyun make this thing, who dares to sell it in Chang'an, you can see what kind of face they will have.

How can Datang's cultural and educational weapons be swayed by others?

For the interests of Tianda, Li Er will not allow anyone to be contaminated!

"Things in the paper mill are small things." Li Er said, "The important thing is how these pieces are handled. ”

Regarding the matter of the papermaking workshop, Li Er really didn't pay attention to it.

The key is that nearly 100 officials of the scholar clan in Chang'an have all been defeated, and it will inevitably be another vicious battle when the court meeting tomorrow comes.

Who doesn't understand?

Even Wei Chi Jingde knew that it was impossible for the scholars to give up.

Such a cheap paper on the market, for the scholars, is a hoe, enough to gouge their roots!

"Whoever dares to stop the move of benefiting the country and the people will be punished!" Fang Xuanling said immediately.

This sentence was murderous, but it made everyone stunned.

But after thinking about it, everyone understood it again, and immediately echoed: "Yes, whoever dares to stop the move that benefits the country and the people will be punished!" ”

During their tenure, if they can push the culture and education of the Tang Dynasty to its peak, even a hundred years later, the history books will add a lot of color to them!

Even if many of them have an inextricable relationship with the Shi family, but it is related to their own political opinions, sorry, that little relationship is not enough......

When Li Er heard this, although his face did not show anything, his heart was determined.

The reason why he called these people here was nothing more than to get an attitude from them, after all, it was still a little difficult for him to fight the entire Shi clan alone.

The point is, not to mention whether those scholar officials have other abilities, and a group of people resign at every turn, which really gives him a bit of a headache.

That's why he had to do it.

If there are more scholars in the world, these guys dare to force each other to resign?

That's an official position, it's a radish and a pit, but being belittled by these guys several times has long made Li Er unhappy.

After receiving the reply, Li Er also asked everyone to retreat, and he returned to the harem.

As soon as everyone walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, Fang Xuanling said: "Everyone, such cheap paper must be the beginning of the prosperity of Tang culture and education, and the old man seems to be able to hear the pleasant sound of thousands of students reading, which is a beautiful scenery of the prosperous world!" ”

When everyone heard this, they smiled, and they also echoed: "It is indeed a beautiful scenery of the prosperous world." ”

After a dumb riddle, everyone dispersed.

Everything that should be understood is understood, and there is nothing else to say about this.

When Fang Xuanling returned home, he immediately asked Wang Dequan to invite him to his house.

Tomorrow is a tough battle, so of course you have to be more prepared.

In the harem, Li Er's hearty laughter alarmed the eldest grandson queen.

"What is it that makes His Majesty so happy?"

After Li Er sat down, he hugged his eldest grandson and laughed: "I really let you say it!" ”

Although Li Er has many concubines in the harem, the one who is most favored by him is the eldest grandson.

If nothing else, let's just say that the eldest grandson has given birth to seven children for Li Er for more than ten years, which can be seen!

"What did Your Majesty say?" The eldest grandson didn't understand a little and asked softly.

Li Er smiled: "Didn't you say before that Gao Ming was taking them to make money?" Hahaha, this time, those guys made a lot of money. ”

As he spoke, Li Er told the eldest grandson in detail.

The eldest grandson was also shocked, she didn't expect that things would develop like this.

She said that before, just to ease Li Er's heart, who knows, she really got right.

However, after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the eldest grandson was unhappy again, and said: "This kid, he doesn't want to think about his mother because of this business, and I have to get him a caravan to stay in Taozhou, doesn't he know that the internal money is about to run a horse?" ”

Women, they are all so unreasonable.

Especially with their own children, it is even more unreasonable.

When Li Er heard this, he smiled and said, "You misunderstood this matter. This kid has grown up, really grown up, at least he knows how to measure. ”

Seeing that the eldest grandson was puzzled, Li Er casually explained: "We can also do this business, but it is definitely not good to hand it over to them, if the royal family does this business alone, the Nashi clan will definitely not give up."

But what those noble families do, hehe, even if they are not good at giving up, won't there be anyone in front?

If you really want to talk about it, whether this paper business makes money or not is secondary, the main thing is to be able to promote culture and education, just this one, we will make a lot of money. ”

How smart is the eldest grandson?

Hearing Li Er say this, he understood in an instant.

In the final analysis, both rights and interests need to be balanced.

Li Chengqian distributed the benefits to the nobles, whether it was for the benefits of the hand or for political returns, they would stand in opposition to the Shi family.

And Li Er, as the emperor, has become a referee, what could be more comfortable than this?

The point is that the biggest beneficiary is precisely him.

"This kid has indeed grown up." The eldest grandson smiled, "After all, it is His Majesty's bloodline, and it is natural to be better." ”

This rainbow fart made Li Er feel very comfortable, and immediately said, "Then ...... or not"

said that it was a fragrant plot with 8,000 words omitted......

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Li Er reluctantly got up from the bed of his eldest grandson, after all, he was old, and he was a little powerless to toss for a night, not to mention hurting his body.

After all, there are only tired cows in this world, where is there a ploughed field?

Besides, how old are the eldest grandsons now? It's over thirty, okay.

As the so-called thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, which Li Er is her opponent......

Tai Chi Palace, the Great Dynasty Meeting.

Li Erqiang supported it spiritually.

With the voice of the eunuch, the civil and military officials entered the hall in turn.

After finishing the process, Wang Shilang stood up and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now in the Chang'an market, there are people openly peddling inferior paper......

Wang Shilang's tirade, Li Er listened to it without a beginning or an end.

He doesn't worry at all, with Fang Xuanling and others in front, what kind of mind does he care?

Besides, he doesn't know this better than anyone else?

"Your Majesty, please ask the imperial court to issue an order to ban these inferior papers of unknown origin, one is to safeguard the interests of the Datang Paper Workshop, and the other is to prevent such inferior paper from affecting the ...... of Datang students."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

After Wang Shilang finished speaking, Wu Yang stood up.

Although there are nearly 100 people who are in the upper court, there are not so many who are qualified to come to the court.

"Ridiculous!" Without waiting for all of them to stand up, Wei Chi Jingde got up and said, "How did the old man hear that those papers are just a little worse in color, and the texture is better than the big paper on the market for ten cents a piece." ”

"Wu Guogong only writes a few words a day, how do you know the quality of the paper?" Someone immediately disdained.

For Wei Chi Jingde, they are not afraid.

Besides, this is above the court, does Wei Chi Jingde dare to be rude?

"The old man is indeed not as sour as you people, and he dances and writes every day, after all, the old man's belongings are not as good as you! Ten dollars a piece of paper, the old man can't afford it! Wei Chi Jingde is not a reasonable person, and directly sneered, "Isn't it, you are only allowed to use ten yuan a piece of paper to make ink, and those poor students are not allowed to use cheap paper to study knowledge?" ”

These words really hit the nail on the head, directly piercing the sinister intentions of these guys.

"Who said that poor students are not allowed to study literature?" Cui Yushi immediately said, "We are just pitiful for those who make a living from the paper-making workshop, how innocent are they!"

How will they survive when this inferior and cheap paper comes out? ”

"If that's the case alone, you can rest assured." Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "We have discussed with Your Majesty that the court will pay for the purchase of those paper workshops, so that it will be the best of both worlds." ”

For this, Wang Shilang and others also had already expected, after yesterday's recital, they discussed again, and at that moment, Wang Shilang said: "Although this method is feasible, it is not necessarily true. ”

"I wonder what else Wang Shilang is worried about?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Today, the king of heaven is here, and this paper has to be sold to me!

This is Fang Xuanling's bottom line.

Don't look at him as a gentle man on weekdays, like a good old man, but when he really starts to be ruthless, everyone has to think about it.

Wang Shilang was not afraid, and said: "Not to mention how inferior the quality of this paper is for ten cents and one knife, just say that this paper for ten cents and a knife can be sold, how long can it be sold?"

All colleagues should understand that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

If all the students in the world are accustomed to this cheap paper, but suddenly one day, such cheap paper is gone, then how desperate the students in the world should be!

After all, we all know that the cost of papermaking is there, and this kind of loss-making thing can be done for a day, two days, even if it can be done for a year or two, and it can be done forever?

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, once they find out that they have monopolized the entire paper industry in Datang, then the future price, isn't it these businessmen who have the final say?

At that time, they will only intensify the money they lost in order to monopolize the market and earn it back from my Datang students!

This is by no means alarmist, because businessmen have been unprofitable since ancient times! ”

I have to say, these guys are still well prepared.

This alarmist remark really made many people worried.

Indeed, the cost of papermaking is there.

And the profit-seeking nature of businessmen has long been confirmed by countless histories.

"Wang Shilang's worries are indeed not unreasonable." Fang Xuanling nodded, but the words changed, "But Wang Shilang just knows what it is, and he doesn't know why, this official has already understood, although he can't tell you the specific cost of a knife of paper, but this official can tell you that the price of a knife of paper is still profitable."

By the way, the official said that a knife of paper is not the kind of cut on the market, but a large sheet, you heard it right, a knife of paper is ten cents, and there is still a profit.

Moreover, as far as this official knows, with the improvement of the papermaking process, there will be greater profit margins in the future.

Therefore, what Wang Shilang is worried about is just groundless.

This kind of thing for the benefit of students all over the world, this official believes that the imperial court should promote it, so that all students in the world can enjoy such cheap paper!

You can have paper to study books, have paper literacy, and have paper to write!

In the near future, Datang's culture and education will surely enter a prosperous era!

Who dares to stop such a traitor who helped my Tang Dynasty enter the prosperous era of culture and education, should be punished! ”

Hearing the front, everyone was just surprised that the profits of this papermaking were so rich, but when they heard Fang Xuanling's murderous words in the back, everyone was stunned!

Is this still the Fang Xuanling they are familiar with?

"Yes, who dares to stop such a traitor who helped my Tang Dynasty enter the prosperous era of culture and education, he should be punished!"

Yu Chi Jingde immediately jumped out.

The big guy is a shock, you are still concerned about cultural and educational matters?

But then, Wei Zheng also stood up and said: "Who dares to stop such a traitor who helped my Tang Dynasty enter the prosperous era of culture and education, he should be punished!" ”

Xiao Yu stepped forward.

Hou Junji stood up.

Kong Yingda also stood up.

Qin Qiong's body is not good, so she should move slowly......

In short, almost all of the noble groups have come forward.

At this moment, those officials of the Shi clan were dumbfounded!
