The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 259 Going up is a sliding shovel

The corner of Tang Sufan's mouth twitched, and while looking at Li Shimin's stern expression, he said jokingly.

"If you want Xinghanmen, then you have to start from the root. Going up is just a sliding shovel, breaking their roots!"

Suddenly, Tang Sufan turned to ask: "Old Li, let me ask you, how much is a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" printed on rice paper?"

Li Shimin has long been used to Tang Sufan's incomprehensible words coming out from time to time.

After understanding the meaning, Li Shimin didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Almost always the money goes up—"

He Li Shimin is not those idiot emperors who have lived in the deep palace for a long time. He really cares about the people and knows the prices of the people.

Not to mention that this book is about the lifeblood of scholars all over the world——

At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who was almost in a daze, stared at him: "What the hell, can a book sell for a whole lot?"

If I had known earlier, I would have made a lot of money by selling the pile of books that used to support my appearance at home~
No, I'll sell it when I get back——

Li Shimin's face turned dark, and he stared secretly, this old man, don't interrupt if you don't understand, just listen honestly?

"Money always goes up~"

Tang Sufan laughed inexplicably, and then said: "What if I can sell a book for a hundred pennies, or a few tens of pennies?"

"One hundred coins?"

Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched fiercely, so there is a lot of knowledge here!
Li Shimin is not a fool, he immediately thought of some methods of what Tang Sufan said about five surnames and seven wangs of these wealthy families.

Isn't this book the solution? A large part of the reason why ordinary children went to study in the private schools of wealthy and famous families was that they could only read books there.

But at this time, a book is extremely precious.

Especially for some classics and historical books used in the imperial examinations, if you have a little knowledge, you can borrow them from a good fellow countryman, and then copy them down overnight.

And the vast majority of people have no place to borrow, even if they can enter private schools, they are already lucky.

Books are expensive, and the monopoly of books by aristocratic families is tantamount to monopolizing knowledge and talents.

How does this allow the court to recruit its own talents?
In the past, Li Shimin worried about this a lot, seeing a large number of talents recommended by wealthy families with five surnames and seven wangs.

use it...

Worry about their growing influence.

no need……

It is said that the personnel of various departments in the court are stretched.

Anyway, it’s a dilemma——

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Tang Sufan said slowly, "Old Li, do you understand?"

"Tell me, if I sell these books all over the street ~ do you have to worry that some poor children who want to study will have no books to read?"

When you think of this scene, Li Shimin slammed the table and said excitedly.

"Yes, in this way, the foundation of the aristocratic family may be broken within three years!"

Immediately, he reacted again: "How much money will it cost to do this? Not to mention other things, just the number of scholars in Chang'an is beyond what you can imagine—"

Tang Sufan snorted and laughed: "Who said that I want to make a loss in business and only make money?"

Li Shimin asked again: "No, you guys have more than a hundred coins for these papers. Don't you need money for carving? Don't you need money for printing?"

Tang Sufan laughed, evil, knowledge changes destiny, the school will not deceive me~
In later generations, after the technological gap between China and foreign countries in many industries was eliminated, a large number of high-quality and low-priced products appeared, occupying the market overwhelmingly.

But now, he is the only one who understands.

As long as he thinks about it, he can achieve a complete monopoly if he doesn't care about the big tree attracting the wind.

In addition, he was a serious businessman in his previous life. With this little brain, isn't it as simple as sprinkling water to make money?
"The secret must not be revealed. I made the paper myself, and I made the printing. No matter what others do, I can guarantee that I won't lose money if I sell this book for a hundred cents!"

"Others are expensive to make paper. I can make better paper than them at a very low price. When the time comes, hehe, not only can I deal with the aristocratic family, but I can also make a lot of money~"

"really?"

Li Shimin immediately became excited!

Totally excited!

As an emperor, he immediately understood the huge benefits and the huge impact on the poor political family.

It can be said that just by this, it can directly hurt the foundation of those aristocratic families who were able to stand upright the year before!
"Of course, Lao Li, there is a saying that knowledge changes destiny, understand? I have the new papermaking technology, and I understand the new printing technology. If it's just these two things, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?"

Excited Li Shimin was speechless for a long time, this is killing two birds with one stone!
If it works, Li Shimin can't imagine what kind of effect it will have. After being excited for a while, he quickly said: "Then what are you waiting for? If it can be done, a certain person can help you!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately heard the words "making money".

"Boy Tang, this old man can help too!"

"Come on, you are a school captain, what a fart you are helping!"

Tang Sufan waved his hand casually, causing Cheng Yaojin's face to turn purple.

I want to stand up and have a drink, the labor and management is Cheng Yaojin.

This huge money-making opportunity is too much to see in front of him, and Cheng Yaojin is as anxious as a cat scratching...

Tang Sufan lazily continued: "Lao Li, do you think this can be done?"

Li Shimin patted his chest immediately and said: "Of course it can be done. How many scholars are there in this world? Besides, this is a good thing that will last for thousands of years and benefit the people! Can't you, kid, do some good for the scholars in the world?"

Tang Sufan joked slowly, "That's right, if the scholar makes a fortune, the two of us will die~"

"You boy, what do you mean by that?"

"Old Li, have you ever thought about the aristocratic family, the one in the palace today is behind two aristocratic families, do you think they will be willing? The one in this palace, will that be willing?"

Li Shimin thought what this kid would say.

At that time, the royal family of the Li family did get rich with the support of the Li family of Longxi and Zhaojun.

But in the back, these people are not bad at all in rewarding their merits and demerits.

As long as they don't fight against the royal family, their life will naturally not be disturbed.

As for the others, that is the key to truly disrupting the centralization of power.

"This... of course it doesn't happen. If you are worried about the current Holy Majesty, if you have the courage, go and tell His Majesty in person! Needless to say, the Holy Majesty will be very pleased!"

"At that time, the government will personally endorse for you, protect your business, and prevent Xiaoxiao from approaching and harassing you!"

Li Shimin patted his chest and promised.

Tang Sufan pretended to be strange, and said jokingly: "Cut, blow your breath, you are just like Li Er."

Tang Sufan clicked casually, Li Shimin coughed twice and said.

"You boy, what nonsense are you talking about? The troubles of this family have disturbed the Sacred Heart for a long time. If you come up with this method, mutual benefit, and the government will write a book for you in the future, are you afraid that other transactions will be missed?"

"This is all for your sake~"

Li Shimin naturally offered good conditions, and even pretended to be good for you.

After all, this kid came here only if he didn't want to go.

I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who knows the new paper-making method and printing method.

If you pass this village, there is really no such shop.

So, let this kid take it out as he pleases...

is the most important——
