Time is like water, time is like a shuttle, and peaceful days pass by in a flash.

The cold air of the winter moon hit, but the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty quarreled hotly:

The royal family immediately built several new paper mills, and quickly spread all the shops in Luoyang at a pick-up price of two or two thousand sheets, even if the shops were sold at a price of five taels, the paper was in short supply.

Ji Zhen, the spokesman of the Jinling Ji family in Shendu, soon found that his paper was completely unsalable, and immediately reduced the production of paper mills near Chang'an, and forced some shops to only sell the paper of the Eternal Group, and then investigated the owner behind the paper mill, but he never thought about it, and he couldn't easily find out the owner behind the scenes.

Immediately convened a meeting of the other five gate lord clans to discuss, Zheng Yuanyu of the Zheng family directly said that papermaking was something that the prince of Qi State had come up with, although he was good friends with Jiang Qi, but for the benefit of the gate lord clan, everything was still focused on the overall situation. Immediately, the Ji clan also asked the high-ranking officials of the various gate lord clans, especially the people of the Yushitai, to participate in the rectification of the paper mill.

All the gate valve scholars unanimously agreed, after all, the promotion of papermaking and printing will damage the intellectual rights and interests of the gate valve.

What "illegal trading of paper", "stealing the papermaking technology of the Eternal Group", "the need for a strict investigation of the loss of trade secrets", "the participation of the prince of Qi in the business of the Great Zhou" Yunyun's transcript was all sent to the emperor's table, and even in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Daming Palace, this matter was discussed.

"Emperor Taizu didn't promise, only allowed the Jinling Ji clan to monopolize papermaking! Buying paper at a lower price will only make more people able to read and write! I don't know what the ministers mean? ”

The person who said this in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Daming Palace was the imperial grandson who stood beside the old emperor, and the emperor meditated and practiced as always.

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yan knew what the emperor meant, and he also knew about the matter of the paper mill, so he immediately responded: "The ministers of the country gather here to discuss state affairs, regardless of market trading!" The court has no right to interfere with ....."

The ministers were silent...

For the Cai family, even if they become the first assistant scholars, they are just a small family, and the promotion of papermaking does not have much impact on them, but because of this, it is not a bad thing for the Cai party to be able to gather more civil and official groups with academic backgrounds and rely on power to integrate into the whole, and they are naturally willing to share the burden for the emperor.

After that, the book and the conflict in the paper mill were all pressed by the scholars, and they were dealt with by themselves, and they could no longer disturb the emperor's purity.

What caught the Ji family even more off guard was that Lingli would also attract investment and sell papermaking and papermaking workshop process drawings to other prefecture and county merchants, a trick that would allow papermaking to spread across the country in just one year.

But many businessmen were discouraged when they heard that it was papermaking, after all, the Eternal Group monopolized the production of paper in the country.

However, the prince also made a contribution from the side, and the civil and official group of the small gate lord clan let the merchants in his hometown publicize the purchase, and there was a public guarantee, "market buying and selling, prohibiting the interference of the government and the door lord clan"

From Luoyang's point of view, the promotion of papermaking is indeed smooth, after all, it is the royal help, but Jiang Mo and Lingli both know that this is only the beginning of the struggle, and the local gate lord clan still has absolute power to suppress small merchants and hawkers, and even the gate lord clan squires can influence the local government more than the central government.

…………

At the same time, Luoyang City Jiang Mansion did not stop.

At night, Jiang Mo was sleeping soundly in the room, and the assassin dressed in black, a cold light swept down and slashed Jiang Mo's head.

Who knows, there was Yu Nie lying in the futon in Jiang Mo's room, and he directly lifted the quilt and picked up the sword in his hand to resist, and kicked out, subduing the black-clothed assassin with one move.

But just when Yu Ni pointed his sword at the murderer's neck and wanted to ask questions, another assassin outside the door directly confronted Yu Ni. Several levels higher than the black-clad assassins in uniform, each sword was so powerful that even doors, tables and chairs were smashed, and every attack of Yune's sword was able to be caught.

And the strength of this master is so strong that even Yu Nirvana needs both hands to resist.

More than a dozen rounds were up and down, and even hit the outside of the house, and the sound made the entire Jiang Mansion wake up, and they screamed again and again.

Yu Nie smiled slightly, and used another move that had only been used against the thief, and the sword stabbed at the black-clothed master like a lotus.

The black-clothed master was suddenly startled and shouted: "Painting the Shadow Sword, the sword flower is like a lotus, it's Yu Nie, aren't you dead?" ”

At the same time, the black-clothed master struggled to resist, but unexpectedly, the blade of the sword was already next to the neck of the black-clothed master, and he snorted coldly, "You lost, who sent you?" ”

The black-clothed master bit his clothes and immediately collapsed to the ground...

Yu Ne's pupils dilated, and he hurriedly ran to the house, where the man in black was also dead.

These are all dead soldiers!

Yu Nie hurriedly checked the entity's clothes, the powder was sewn on the collar of the neck, and with a bite of the oblique head, the powder could be soaked into the tongue, and such a poisonous medicine could be made, "It seems to be the Ji family's assassin Qing, who has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for a long time, or the sect of Xishu, but the weapon is the knife of the Yan Kingdom..."

"Well, it's okay, if you don't mention Da Zhou everywhere, it must be Da Zhou"

Jiang Mo also expected the fight, so he slept with Qin Mu who endured Bao Yong's fox smell and let Yu Nie in his room.

But suddenly, a grocery room in Jiang's Mansion caught fire, and Xiao Si shouted, "It's water!" ”

Fortunately, everyone woke up and quickly extinguished the fire, so that the fire did not spread.

But it made the Jiang Mansion exhausted.

The beginning of this battle was papermaking, which had already blatantly assassinated Jiang Mo, not hesitating to force the Qi State, and even warned the emperor.

Of course, it is the same in the court, Daming Palace, the emperor has not been in the court for many years, it is Cai Ge Lao who presides over the court meeting, and the disputes caused by the grandson, the grandson also fights at the court meeting every day, fortunately, the emperor has a civil official group behind him, and their power grows and needs more children from the poor family.

Taisun's bold words of "May the world's Han scholars have books to read" won the support of many Han families, and even moved many people to shout insults to the mansion of the gate lord clan.

For two days in a row, the voice above the court gradually became quieter, after all, the matter had already happened, and it had even been preached by the civil officials of the Cai Party, and it could no longer be stopped.

All the spearheads can only be pointed at - Jiang Mo.

The three children of the Gate Valve Clan came to the door to make trouble, throwing garbage and torches, and Jiang Mo could only close the door.

For three consecutive nights, a total of more than a dozen assassins came directly to the door to commit murder, and several times they were bravely confronted by Yu Ni, Qin Mu and Bao Yong, and only then did they save the day, and two of their guards died during the process.

In this way, to stop the trouble and fighting for several days, Qin Mu and Bao Yong's guards couldn't stand it anymore, and even the maids in the house complained.

Only Yu Ni can always take a break to rest, but he doesn't feel too tired.

Most of the officials in Luoyang City are people from the gate lord clan, so almost no one is allowed to assassinate and kill the Jiang Mansion without the protection of the government.

A group of people hid in the house to eat and drink, and every night of the meal, they were checked for poison.

Everyone had sad faces, and Nan Sheng couldn't help but say: "Childe is too radical!" ”

Jiang Mo sneered: "If it is gradual, maybe I will die faster"

Qin Mu complained: "The people's hearts of the scholar were accepted by the imperial grandson, and all the contradictions are in Jiang Qi, so His Royal Highness the scholar will not send troops to protect him?" Is it really unloading the mill and killing the donkey? ”

Jiang Mo didn't know if the imperial grandson Ji Wuchi regarded Jiang Mo as a friend, so he could only sigh and say: "Hey, probably the emperor doesn't allow it, after all, the gate lord clan also needs an outlet..."

Jiang Mansion was chatting up and down, when he suddenly heard the sound of landing outside the door, and Shu shouted: "Where is Jiang Qi's son?" Where's Yune? Come out and die! ”
