This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 223 Juan Erfang Xuanling Hall Executes Thieves!
In Tai Chi Hall, when Fang Xuanling and others arrived, looking at the memorial on Li Er's table, everyone was a little puzzled.

What's wrong with this?

It's only been a few days, come again?
"Your Majesty, these memorials?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's all written by those gentry officials, saying that someone is destabilizing Chang'an's market and selling an extremely cheap paper, making those who rely on paper workshops to make a living lose their way of life." .”

"Your Majesty, what you said is unreasonable!" Yuchi Jingde immediately stood up and said, "For the price of the paper before, I would have to stay away from it! Let alone other people?

Once this cheap paper comes out, it can be regarded as a blessing for scholars all over the world. "

"Wu Guogong's words are not bad." Changsun Wuji agreed with Yu Chigong's words once in a while, "Today, the old minister also learned about this, so he went to the street to take a look. Those who couldn't afford to read in the past, bought books Scholars who couldn't afford paper all returned with a smile on their faces.

The old minister also asked a few people, and they said that although the quality of the paper is a bit poor, it is cheaper and it is not difficult to write on. "

Ever since he knew the price of paper, he knew that this was a lucrative business. Since the grandson's family had the opportunity to participate, how could he give up?

Money, everyone is short.

Fang Xuanling heard the words and said, "This is indeed a good thing for the benefit of scholars all over the world."

As a servant of the court, if you think that Fang Xuanling only values ​​the benefits, then you will underestimate him.

Like Wei Zheng, what he values ​​most is that this cheap paper can revitalize culture and education.

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

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

No one has a grudge against money.

As for Yuchi Jingde, well, this guy is just a shit stick, it doesn't matter if he makes money or not, as long as it makes him happy, he will do everything with all his might.

However, it would be wrong to say that Yuchi Jingde is as simple as it appears on the surface.

This guy is capable of forcing Li Yuan to abdicate, which is evident.

In his whole life, he was really lying on the credit book, enough for three generations.

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

On this point, even Li Er agrees.

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

In terms of the price of the paper in the past, Yu Chigong said that he would take a detour when he saw it. This is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it also fully demonstrates how expensive the paper is.

It is precisely because of the expensive paper that makes it extremely difficult for students all over the world to study.

But now, cheap paper has been praised by many students as soon as it comes into the market, precisely because they see hope.

This is what Li Er values.

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

"It's a good thing." Wei Zheng stood up and said, "But it does reduce the income of those craftsmen who rely on paper workshops for a living."

He's the kind of person who, whenever there's a problem, he'll point it out.

So everyone privately thinks that if you are a teammate with anyone, don't be a teammate with him.

There is no way, this guy may shoot at his own people at any time!
And it's the kind of full firepower that doesn't move.

Who the hell can stand it?

"No, where are you from?" Yuchi Jingde immediately questioned.

Everyone else shut up.

You asked about loneliness.

Wei Zheng is not good at anything, he only talks about the law and reason, if you talk about this with him, you are playing the piano with the cow.

"Could the old man be wrong?" Wei Zheng said without hesitation, "This paper has indeed benefited scholars all over the world, that's right. But it has indeed cut off the livelihood of those paper-making workshops.

Could it be said that scholars all over the world are citizens of Datang, and those who open paper workshops are not citizens of Datang? "

"It's not that we won't let them sell it!" Yuchi Jingde said angrily, "Just let them sell it!"

"Can it be sold?" Wei Zheng said angrily, "If they sell paper for ten pennies and a knife for one day, the whole family will hang themselves that night!"

Yuchi Jingde was also angry: "Then what do you say! If the imperial court invents the paper, all the paper will be priced the same as them, and scholars will not be able to jump up in that day!"

"Okay, you two don't have to quarrel." Seeing this, Fang Xuanling said, "The matter of the paper workshop can be settled easily."

"How to solve it?" Xiao Yu asked.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "In the final analysis, the quality of the ten-cent-one-knife paper on the market is still a bit poor. Its target audience is those poor students and ordinary people. In fact, the share of the paper workshop will not be damaged much."

This is true.

Even if it is them, no one in their family uses that kind of paper.

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

"Fang Fushe still hasn't seen the crux of the problem." Xiao Yu said, "I've seen this paper with ten pennies and a knife. After all, the craftsmanship is immature. better paper.

Apart from the fact that this paper is a little worse in color, it is much better than today's paper in other respects. "

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

After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling looked at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to have the court come forward and buy these paper-making workshops. Even if there are any accidents in the future, these workshops can be preserved."

Li Er nodded, this is indeed a solution.

When Wei Zheng heard the words, he stopped talking.

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

This is the best solution after their discussion.

Of course, there are actually some unknown things in it.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, this paper was made by Li Chengqian, they can accept it.

As long as this stuff is made by Murong Shun or Murong Fuyun, who dares to sell it in Chang'an joints, you can see what kind of face they will have.

How can Tang's important cultural and educational tools be influenced by others?
Li Er will not allow anyone to get involved in the great interests!

"Things in the paper workshop are small things." Li Er said, "The important thing is how to deal with these memorials."

As for the matter of the paper workshop, Li Er really didn't take it to heart.

The key point is that nearly a hundred officials of the gentry in Chang'an have all submitted memorials, and it is inevitable that there will be another fierce battle at the court meeting tomorrow.

Who doesn't understand?

Even Yuchi Jingde knew that the gentry couldn't let it go.

Such cheap paper is available on the market, for the gentry, it is a hoe, a hoe that is enough to plan their roots!

"Whoever dares to stop an act that benefits the country and the people will be punished!" Fang Xuanling said immediately.

These words, full of murderous intent, made everyone stunned.

But after thinking about it, everyone understood, and immediately agreed: "Yes, anyone who dares to stop an act 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 though many of them are inextricably linked with the noble family, but it is related to their own political views, sorry, that relationship is not enough...

Li Er heard that, although he didn't show anything on his face, he was determined in his heart.

The reason why these people are called here is nothing more than to get their attitude. After all, it is still a bit difficult for him to fight against the entire gentry alone.

The point is, whether those gentry officials have other abilities, not to mention, a group of people resigning at every turn really gives him a headache.

That's why he insisted on doing so.

If there were more scholars in the world, would these guys dare to force them to resign?
That's an official position. It was a radish and a pit, but it ended up being belittled several times by these guys, which already made Li Er unhappy.

After getting the answer, Li Er asked everyone to retreat, and he himself returned to the harem.

As soon as everyone walked out of the Taiji Hall, Fang Xuanling said: "Everyone, such cheap paper must be the beginning of the prosperity of Tang culture and education. I seem to be able to hear the melodious reading sounds of thousands of students. It is a prosperous age." Great view!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and echoed, "It's indeed a beautiful scene in a prosperous age."

After playing a riddle, everyone dispersed.

I understand what I should understand, so there is nothing more to say.

When Fang Xuanling returned home, he immediately asked Wang Dequan to be invited to his residence.

Tomorrow is a tough battle, so of course we need to make more preparations.

In the harem, Li Er's hearty laughter startled Empress Changsun.

"What makes His Majesty so happy?"

After Li Er sat down, he hugged his eldest grandson, and laughed loudly: "You really hit the mark!"

Although there are many concubines in Li Er's harem, the one he favors the most is none other than his eldest grandson.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the eldest grandson has given birth to seven children for Li Er in more than ten years, which is evident!
"What did Your Majesty say?" The eldest grandson asked softly, a little confused.

Li Er smiled and said, "Didn't you say that Gao Ming led them to make money? Hahaha, this time, those guys made a lot of money."

After speaking, Li Er explained the matter to his eldest grandson in detail.

The eldest grandson also had a look of shock, she never thought that things would develop like this.

What she said before was just to ease Li Er's heart, but who knows, she really hit the mark.

However, after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the eldest grandson became unhappy again, and said: "This kid, he doesn't want to think about his mother when he has this business. Fortunately, I got him a caravan to stay in Taozhou. He doesn't know what's inside. Is the money almost enough to run a horse?"

Women are so unreasonable.

Especially with your own children, that is even more unreasonable.

Li Er heard this, smiled, and said: "You have misunderstood this matter wisely. This child has grown up, really grown up, at least he knows how to behave."

Seeing that the eldest grandson was puzzled, Li Er explained casually: "We can do this business, but it is definitely not as good as entrusting them to do it. If the royal family does this business alone, the gentry will definitely not let it go.

But if those noble families do it, hehe, even if they are not good enough to let it go, wouldn't there be someone in front?

To be honest, whether the paper business makes money or not is second to none. The main thing is to promote culture and education. With this alone, we will make a lot of money. "

How smart is the eldest grandson?

Hearing what Li Er said, he immediately understood.

In the final analysis, whether it is rights or interests, there needs to be a balance.

Li Chengqian distributed the benefits to the nobles, whether it was for the benefits they obtained or for political rewards, they would stand in opposition to the noble families.

And Li Er, who was the emperor, became a referee instead. What could be more comfortable than this?

The point is that the biggest beneficiary is precisely him.

"This child has indeed grown up." The eldest grandson said with a smile, "After all, it is His Majesty's blood, and it is only natural that he is better."

This rainbow fart made Li Er feel very comfortable, and immediately said: "Then how about..."

With that said, it was a sweet plot with eight thousand characters omitted...

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Li Er reluctantly got up from the eldest grandson's bed. After all, he was getting old, and he couldn't do what he wanted, not to mention hurting his body.

After all, there are only exhausted cows in this world. Where can there be plowed fields?

Besides, how old is the eldest grandson now? It's over 30, okay.

As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, Li Er is her opponent...

Tai Chi Hall, the Grand Court Meeting.

Li Erqiang supported it with all his strength.

Following the voice of the eunuch, all civil and military officials entered the palace one by one.

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

Li Er listened to Wang Shilang's long speech without beginning or end.

He didn't worry at all, with Fang Xuanling and others standing in front of him, what the hell was he worrying about?
Besides, doesn't he know this better than anyone else?

"Your Majesty, I request the imperial court to ban these inferior papers of unknown origin. The first is to protect the interests of the Datang Papermaking Workshop, and the second is to prevent such inferior paper from affecting the study of Datang students..."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

After Wang Shilang finished speaking, a crowd of people stood up.

Although nearly a hundred people submitted the memorial, there were not so many who were qualified to come to court.

"Ridiculous!" Without waiting for everyone to stand up, Yuchi Jingde got up and said, "How did I hear that the paper is just a little bit worse in color, and the texture is better than the large paper that costs ten cents a piece on the market."

"Wu Guogong only writes a few words a day, so how can he know whether the paper is good or bad?" Someone said disdainfully.

They were not afraid of Yuchi Jingde.

Besides, this is the court, Yuchi Jingde dare to use violence?
"I'm really not as good as you ruthless scholars, who spend a lot of time with writing and writing. After all, my wealth is not comparable to yours! I can't afford a ten-cent piece of paper!" Yuchi Jingde was not a reasonable person, so he spoke directly Said sarcastically, "Could it be that you are only allowed to write on big paper worth ten cents a piece, and those poor students are not allowed to study knowledge with cheap paper?"

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

"Who said that poor students are not allowed to study literature?" Cui Yushi immediately said, "We just pity those who make a living in paper workshops, what are they doing!
Once this inferior and cheap paper comes out, how will they survive? "

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

Regarding this, Wang Shilang and the others had expected it a long time ago. After the memorial was presented yesterday, they discussed it again. Immediately, Wang Shilang said: "Although this method is feasible, it is not always the case."

"I don't know what else Wang Shilang is worried about?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Today, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, and this paper has to be sold to me!

This is Fang Xuanling's bottom line.

Don't think that he is very gentle on weekdays, like a good old man, but when he really gets ruthless, everyone has to think about it.

Wang Shilang was not afraid, and said: "Let's not talk about the poor quality of the paper for ten cents and a knife, but how long can the paper for ten cents and a knife be sold for?
All colleagues should understand that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

If the students in the world are used to this cheap paper, but one day, such cheap paper is gone, how desperate the students in the world will be that day!

After all, we all know that the cost of papermaking is there. Things like this that lose money and make money can be done for one day, two days, even if it can be done for a year or two, can they continue to do it?

It is the nature of businessmen to seek profit. Once they find out that they have monopolized the entire Tang Dynasty's paper industry, wouldn't the future prices be decided by these businessmen?

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

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

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

These alarmist remarks really made many people worry.

Indeed, the cost of papermaking is there.

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

"Wang Shilang's worry is indeed not unreasonable." Fang Xuanling nodded, but changed the topic, "But Wang Shilang just knows about it and doesn't know why. I have already understood it, although I can't tell you What is the exact cost of your piece of paper, but I can tell you that there is still a profit in the price of ten pieces of paper.

By the way, the one piece of paper that the official said is not the kind of cut and cut paper on the market, but a large sheet. You heard me right, ten pieces of paper for one piece of paper, and there is still profit.

Moreover, as far as I know, with the improvement of the papermaking process, there will be greater profit margins in the future.

So what Wang Shilang was worried about was just unfounded worries.

This kind of thing that benefits students all over the world, I think the imperial court should promote it, so that students all over the world can enjoy such cheap paper!

Everyone can have paper for learning books, paper for literacy, and paper for writing!

In the not-too-distant future, the culture and education of Datang will surely enter a prosperous age!
Whoever dares to stop these traitors who helped our Great Tang step into the prosperous age of culture and education, should be punished! "

Hearing the front, everyone was just surprised that the papermaking was so profitable, but when they heard Fang Xuanling's murderous words behind, everyone was stunned!

Is this the Fang Xuanling they know well?

"Yes, whoever dares to stop these rebels who helped our Great Tang step into the prosperous age of culture and education, should be punished!"

Yuchi Jingde immediately jumped out.

That's a shock, you big bastard, are you still concerned about culture and education?
But then, Wei Zheng also stood up and said: "Whoever dares to stop these traitors who helped our Tang Dynasty enter the prosperous age of culture and education, they should be punished!"

Xiao Yu stood up.

Hou Junji stood up.

Kong Yingda also stood up.

Qin Qiong is not in good health, so move slowly...

In short, almost all honorable groups stood up.

At this moment, the officials of the gentry were dumbfounded!
