"What is the specific price of this thing!" Wang Shilang asked.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty had already lowered the price of paper, and now the whole Tang Dynasty is the kind of cheap paper that costs ten dollars and one knife.

If they keep the cost of printing down, then their clan will really break their bones.

Just now they calculated that such a so-called notebook probably requires two knives of paper, not counting the cost of printing and workmanship, at least the price of 20 yuan.

If you count the printing and workmanship plus the charcoal pen, you have to turn two heels and go up.

Below this price, it means that the Ming Dynasty is really likely to have mastered the latest printing technology, which is undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to them.

"The minister has already said that this is a congratulatory gift from the Ming Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, a total of 1,000 copies, priceless." Wang Dequan said with a smile.

When he says priceless, he really has no price and not that this thing is really priceless.

Obviously, the crowd was not satisfied with his answer, and the problem was not in the three-character scripture.

The three-character scripture is also okay, it does have the power of education, but learning is not only the three-character scripture, a three-character scripture of more than 1,000 words is just enlightenment.

They are still worried about the technology of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that these things that Wang Dequan took out today represent the ultimate craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, but it is precisely for this reason that they are worried.

The Ming Dynasty seems to have nothing that can't be done.

What makes them most helpless is that this technology is in the hands of others.

The rest is okay, it's just a trick, at most it can make money, but if the Ming Dynasty really masters more advanced printing technology, then their life will not be so easy.

But Wang Dequan didn't say anything, and they couldn't help it.

Li Er saw their reactions, and laughed even more at the moment.

It's a good thing, it's a good thing for him.

The clan has grown bigger and bigger over the years, and he is worried that he can't contain them.

Although Enke has been opened in recent years, the response of Enke has been mediocre, and in the final analysis, the opportunity to study is almost monopolized by those scholars.

He didn't know that if this went on for a long time, it would do a lot of harm to Datang and no benefit.

But what could he do? At least for the time being, he didn't have a better way.

However, Li Chengqian surprised him again and again, whether it was the previous paper or the current three-character classic, it was invisibly competing for opportunities with the scholars, as for the Ming Dynasty to improve the printing technology, he was not optimistic.

For thousands of years, today's printing technology has been the most advanced, at least in his opinion, there is no change.

"It's a good thing." Li Er smiled with satisfaction, "But it has the merit of education, so it should be intentional." ”

Fang Xuanling also smiled: "That's true." ”

Wang Dequan smiled, they didn't realize the real purpose of this notebook, and even said: "This notebook is not a book, but convenient for us to take and use at any time."

Speaking of which, the person who invented this thing, you should also know, is the high purity line next to His Royal Highness King Ming. ”

"He invented it?" Gao Shilian was stunned, don't tease me, who is that son of our family, the old man knows.

Wang Dequan nodded and said: "Because Gao Chunxing has been with His Royal Highness King Ming for a long time, he needs to be responsible for recording a lot of things, but he often goes out and has no paper and no pen, so he misses a lot of things.

After a long time, he cut the paper by himself, found an embroidery girl to sew it together with a needle and thread, and saw that His Royal Highness King Ming often used charcoal to write quickly, which gave him the first appearance of a notebook.

Another day, when the king of Ming saw this, he asked him, and praised him when he heard it, saying: Those who practice to get true knowledge are not pure deeds.

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Ming ordered the workshop to come up with a plan overnight, which is why we have today's notebook.

The original intention of the notebook is to facilitate us to take and use at any time, as for why the three-character scripture is on its home page, it is His Royal Highness the King of Ming hopes that we will keep in mind the original intention of being a person, a businessman, a general, and an official, which is the beginning of human beings and the nature of goodness. ”

"That's a great thing!" Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said.

Everyone also nodded, but they didn't care too much about the use of the notebook that Wang Dequan said just now.

In the eyes of these old pedants, the great use of heaven is not comparable to the beginning of a person, and the nature is good.

Of course, Gao Shilian nodded with satisfaction, after all, this was first invented by his son, and it was indeed worth his joy.

Wang Dequan was very helpless, he really wanted to tell everyone, this is a book, don't think too much.

But no one listened!

Yes, it's not good to raise the profile, everyone can't get up and down.

"Give a seat." Li Er was very satisfied with the gift of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Dequan sighed, has this errand been done?

Li Chengqian asked him to show the three-character scripture on this notebook, but it was just a convenient act, and the main promotion was this book, but the result was good, everyone only stared at the three-character scripture and forgot the notebook itself.

It's completely putting the cart before the horse.

But the next banquet has nothing to do with him, and there is no chance for him to speak.

Immerse yourself in eating and drinking.

Fortunately, he represented Li Chengqian, but many people came to greet him.

I didn't feel left out.

As for those bigwigs in the court, he won't come to him, and he won't look for himself, after all, the gap between the two sides is there.

When the dinner was over, everyone took their leave.

But as soon as he left the palace, Wang Dequan became a fragrant dumpling again.

The things he took out today, a discerning person can see at a glance that they are rare things, rare things are good, rare things are things that make money, aren't they?

In the court, except for a very few old-fashioned people such as Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu, who doesn't have two shops.

This business can be done.

Especially the dressing pavilion, as long as it appears in the world of Chang'an, with tonight's wine banquet, it will definitely cause crazy robbery.

On the side of the scholar officials, one by one they were gloomy and miserable, and groups of three or five quickly disappeared outside the palace gate.

Just when Wang Dequan was dealing with these dignitaries, the Zheng family was in the courtyard.

Except for a very small number of officials, almost all of them gathered together.

"It can't go on like this." Zheng Xu said, "We have compromised on the matter of paper before, and the Ming court is getting more and more inches, although the old man still doesn't know if they have mastered the latest printing technology, but it is time to control one or two." ”

Cui Yushi nodded and said, "Indeed, it didn't matter if they sold cheap paper before, but once they started selling cheap books, then the heritage we are proud of will become a laughing stock." ”

"And those nobles, they are also working on a library recently, this is digging our roots!" Wang Shilang said viciously, "If this goes on like this for a long time, where will we scholars still have a slight advantage?"

Our efforts for thousands of years, countless generations, can not be easily smoothed out. ”

"Now the food supply of the Ming Dynasty will be cut off." Someone said, "At least we can't let them have enough to do and come up with something to deal with us." ”

Zheng Xu shook his head and said, "If you say it, you can break it, where is it so easy?" If you make a head, how can you easily break it? It's going to take some time. ”

But with this time, the Ming court didn't know how much grain they could hoard......

He regretted a little, he shouldn't have started this in the first place, and he should have strangled it to death when it sprouted.

"I have a solution." Wang Shilang said.

Someone asked, "How?" ”

"As long as Datang is short of grain, who will dare to transport grain out?" Wang Shilang said, "But my method is indeed a bit radical, if you don't listen to it first, we ......."

After listening to his words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Isn't this just radical? This is iniquity!

"No, absolutely not." Zheng Xu said, "It's not a matter that can't be passed on, if you do this, you will be struck by lightning!" ”

The rest of the people were also silent, they didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless.

But Wang Shilang said: "If you don't fight back, let the Ming Dynasty develop so comfortably?" And then come up with something more to deal with us?

We were willing to transport grain over before, firstly, because it was profitable, secondly, because we could use it to contain the throat of the Ming Dynasty, and most importantly, our own interests would not be affected.

But do you see that our interests are affected now?

Everyone else is digging into our roots! We still don't say anything?

While I know you all have better ways to solve this problem, don't those take time? We don't lack time, the Ming Dynasty is short!

And my method can be effective, and it is the fastest, within three days, the food supply of the Ming Dynasty will be cut off, which is the most important thing. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Wang Shilang said bitterly, "Don't be kind to women, it's great, let me carry this evil deed alone."

Even if the sky thunders and thunders, people and gods are angry, I will resist alone.

The roots of the scholars are about to be dug up, how can you still be so indecisive?

Do you really have to wait until the cheap books of the Ming Dynasty are sold all over the Tang Dynasty, and you will know the urgency of the matter! ”

When they heard him say this, the crowd fell silent, was he right?

Actually, that's right.

The Ming Dynasty really made them feel helpless, not to say how strong the Ming Dynasty was, but the technology of the Ming Dynasty was really the only one in the world.

This is a question that has been proven over and over again.

At the beginning, they felt that they could contain the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, they were also able to contain the development of the Ming Dynasty.

But it will take time! It's not that containment is just containment......

At the beginning, they thought that if they would support the Ming Dynasty into a bridgehead, let the Ming Dynasty fight and kill for the Tang Dynasty, and they could slowly develop themselves while the Tang Dynasty stabilized itself.

No matter how you look at it, this is beneficial and harmless to the forces in all aspects of Datang.

But the Ming Dynasty is restless!

You go to conquer, you go to kill, what kind of technology do you do!

Engaging in technology and development, that is Datang, and it is what we should do! What does it have to do with you?

The reason why we are willing to support you is to let you fight hard with others! Instead of having nothing to do when we are full, we will dig our roots!

"Inform the clan first, and see what the clan says." After a long time, Cui Yushi said, "If the clan says to do it, then do it." ”

Everyone nodded, and in the end, they still left the decision to the family.

They didn't know that Li Chengqian did it on purpose.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty has been obvious, since his identity has been exposed, everyone has lacked a sense of crisis, and they always feel that Datang is their backing.

Such an idea is actually very dangerous, so Li Chengqian deliberately tossed such a play.

He doesn't know what these guys in Datang think?

He knows, but his men don't.

If there is a small conflict with Datang that is within a controllable range, this can make those people under his command clearly understand that Datang is Datang, and he is not your father and not your mother!

When it is really critical to the Tang Dynasty, no one will care about the life or death of the Ming Dynasty.

As for how the Shi clan will fight back, he doesn't care, what he wants is the result, not the process at all.

This is also why he insisted that Wang Dequan present these gifts after the departure of the family sending team.

It's nothing more than eating the benefits in your mouth first.

As for the future, love will be whatever it takes in the future.

The Ming court must have the ability and determination to take charge of itself, otherwise, the Ming court is not worthy of talking about the future.

Where is the future of a dynasty whose life is held in the palm of someone's hand?

Next, what we have to look at is the ability of the Ming court itself to deal with it, as well as the response ability of the officials under his command.

This is actually a good thing for Li Chengqian.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, this matter is not in danger for the time being, after all, he already has a lot of food reserves, plus the dowry of his relatives this time, not to mention more, it is no problem to survive until winter.

If those officials of the Ming Dynasty really can't solve this problem, then he will draw his salary again, and he will not have no way to reverse the situation.

It is those officials of the Ming Dynasty who need such a situation, recognize their position, and at the same time exercise their abilities.

Of course, he didn't expect that the scholars would be able to do such a thing that lost their conscience, but did it have anything to do with him?

In the palace, Li Er and the eldest grandson looked at the things sent by their children and were very satisfied.

Especially the eldest grandson, the dressing room really made her love it very much.

Many concubines who heard the news also found various excuses to come to the eldest grandson's bedroom from time to time, and whenever they saw the dressing room, they were envious.

The eldest grandson was also atmospheric, and did not treasure it, but placed it there generously.

"My sister is really a blessing." Concubine Yang said with envy.

She is the princess of the former dynasty and Li Ke's biological mother.

The eldest grandson smiled: "Ke'er is also a filial child. ”

In this era, a woman's showing off is inseparable from two things, nothing more than her own man and children.

Men are all one, and there is nothing to show off, so they can only show off their children.

"Ke'er, that kid, frizzy, it's hard to be a big deal." Concubine Yang said, "My sister wants Ke'er to be a prince of peace as soon as possible and with peace of mind." ”

The eldest grandson pursed her lips and chuckled when she heard this, she understood, this was Concubine Yang hinting to herself, and her son did not mean to covet that position.

"Ke'er is still young, let's talk about it later." Nowadays, Li Chengqian is getting better and better, although he is not in Chang'an, but the position of the East Palace is sitting firmly.

In the future, as long as there are no particularly big accidents, even Li Er will not be able to shake his position, after all, Li Chengqian's succession to the throne can bring back a large piece of land.

You don't need to use troops to expand your territory, who doesn't want to?

Therefore, at this time, she is not in a hurry to let these princes stop, put them in front of her eyes, she can still stare at a little.

If it's really going to be enough, the emperor is far away, and it is even more troublesome.

Yang Guifei didn't insist, in her opinion, Li Ke was still young, and she didn't feel at ease, and she was just expressing her position this time, and the final decision was not in her hands.

Now, Li Chengqian's power is getting bigger and bigger, and she doesn't want her son to have any conflict with him, the lessons of the past are still there, and being a prince of peace is already her mother's greatest luxury.

Born in the royal family, thousands of people envy it, but only they know how many thorns there are.

sent away Concubine Yang, and Li Er was late.

"What, what did Concubine Yang tell you?" Li Er put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

The eldest grandson smiled: "It's nothing, just pull the family." ”

This kind of thing, she won't say it, if Li Er rises up and makes Li Ke go away, she will still offend people, "Isn't the clairvoyance that Your Majesty is holding in your hand a clairvoyant sent by Gao Ming?" ”

Li Er was overjoyed when he heard this, took it to his side, and said, "Don't look at this little thing as inconspicuous, it's really a treasure." ”

For this clairvoyance, he really loves it very much.

Don't look at the sensation caused by the dressing cabinet, but to Li Er, ten dressing pavilions are no match for the clairvoyance in his hand.

"Oh? What's so amazing about it? The eldest grandson asked.

She had been curious for a long time, but she had never had a chance to ask.

Ordinary things, there is no way to be worthy of Li Er's words.

"See for yourself, this thing should live up to its name." Li Er said with a smile, and after speaking, he handed the clairvoyance to the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson saw that Li Er had used it, and he had learned the same thing at the moment, but it was just a glimpse, so the eldest grandson hurriedly put it down, fixed his eyes and looked at it twice, yes, he didn't look at the flowers.

Seeing this, Li Er smiled and said, "It's a baby, right?" If there was such a thing when I was fighting the world? At least a year earlier, the world can be pacified. ”

What a clever man he was, as soon as he got his hands on this thing and knew what it was for, he knew that it must be a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

Anticipate the enemy first, this is the fighter!

"Why did Gao Ming give this thing out in such a big way?" The eldest grandson asked with some curiosity.

When Li Er heard this, he pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter? My son is filial to me, what is wrong? ”

"That's not what it means." The eldest grandson said, "This kind of Qi thing should be a treasure, how can everyone know it? ”

Li Er nodded: "Forget it, he made the things, and he can't come in person, so it's helpless to inform Wang Dequan." Besides, this Wang Dequan, who was just a down-and-out businessman more than half a year ago, has now changed, and he is also an official person, he should know who gave him all this. ”

"Still not right." The eldest grandson said, "Now that good things are common in the Ming Dynasty, why don't you send some more people to the concubines?" At least help Gao Ming take care of one or two. ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson looked at Li Er.

When Li Er heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about the little family business that the child has created by himself, if you really want to be worried about it, look at it, there will be no more such new things in the future." ”

After he finished speaking, the eldest grandson smiled and said: "That's too, forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so let him do whatever he wants." ”

After saying that, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
