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

Chapter 266: Volume [-] Gentleman King Ming Empress!
"What is the specific price of this thing!" Wang Shilang asked.

The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty had suppressed the price of paper before, but now the entire Tang Dynasty is filled with cheap paper that costs ten cents a knife.

If they keep down the cost of printing, then their gentry will be really hurt.

They did some calculations just now, and such a so-called notebook needs about two knives of paper, not counting the cost of printing or workmanship, at least the price starts at [-] yuan.

If you count the printing and workmanship plus that kind of charcoal pencil, then you have to turn two somersaults and go up.

If the price is lower than this, it means that the imperial court of Ming Dynasty may really have mastered the latest printing technology, which will undoubtedly be a catastrophic blow to them.

"The foreign minister has already said that this is a congratulatory gift from the Ming court to the Tang Dynasty. There are a thousand copies in total and it is priceless." Wang Dequan said with a smile.

When he said priceless, he meant that there was really no price, not that the thing was really priceless.

Obviously, everyone was not satisfied with his answer, and the problem did not lie in the Three Character Classic.

The Three-Character Classic is not bad, it does have the power of enlightenment, but learning is not limited to the Three-Character Classic, a Three-Character Classic with more than a thousand characters is nothing more than enlightenment.

What they were worried about was the technology of the Ming court.

It has to be said that the items that Wang Dequan produced today represented the ultimate craftsmanship of the Ming court, but it was precisely for this reason that they were worried.

It seems that there is nothing that the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty cannot do.

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

Everything else is fine, it's just a trick, at most it can make money, but if the Ming court really mastered more advanced printing technology, then their life will not be so easy.

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

Li Er laughed even more when he saw their reaction.

Good thing, for him, this is indeed a good thing.

The gentry has grown larger and larger over the years, and he is worried that there is no way to contain them.

Although Enke has been opened in recent years, the response of Enke to obtain scholars has been mediocre. After all, the opportunities to study are almost monopolized by those gentry.

How could he not know that if things go on like this in the long run, it will do a lot of harm to Datang, but no benefit at all.

But what can he do?At least for the time being, he has no better way.

However, Li Chengqian gave him surprises time and time again. Whether it was the paper before or the three-character scripture today, they were all invisibly competing with the gentry for opportunities. As for the Ming court's ability to improve printing technology, he was not optimistic about it. .

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

"This thing is not bad." Li Er said with a satisfied smile, "But it has the power of enlightenment, so it must be intentional."

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said, "It is true."

Wang Dequan smiled, they didn't realize the real purpose of this notebook, and said immediately: "This notebook is not a book, but it is convenient for us to take and use whenever we want.

Speaking of which, the person who invented this thing, you should all know, is Gao Chunxing next to His Highness King Ming. "

"He invented it?" Gao Shilian was taken aback, don't tease me, the old man knows who our son is.

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 without paper or pen, so he missed many things.

After a long time, he cut the paper himself, asked the embroiderer to sew it together with a needle and thread, and saw that His Royal Highness King Ming often used charcoal pens to write quickly, and this was the first appearance of the notebook.

Another day, the king of Ming saw this and asked about it. He heard the words and praised him greatly, saying: "Those who can gain true knowledge through practice are not pure actions."

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Ming ordered the workshop to come up with a plan overnight, and this is how today's notebook came into being.

The original intention of the notebook is to make it convenient for us to take it and use it at any time. As for why the Three Character Classic is on the home page, His Royal Highness Ming Wang hopes that we will keep in mind the original intention of being a human being, a businessman, a general, and an official. Ben Shan. "

"That's a great word!" Wei Zheng said, stroking his beard.

Everyone also nodded, but they didn't pay much attention to what Wang Dequan said about the notebook just now.

In the eyes of these old pedants, the most useful thing is no more than the saying that people are born with good nature.

Of course, Gao Shilian nodded in satisfaction. After all, it was his son who first invented it, and it really deserves his joy.

Wang Dequan was very helpless. He really wanted to tell everyone that this is a fucking book, so don't think too much about it.

But no one listened!
Well, it's not good to set the tone too high, because everyone can't keep the tone high.

"Give me a seat." Li Er was very satisfied with the gift from the Daming royal court.

Wang Dequan sighed. Is this errand done?
Li Chengqian wanted him to show that the Three Character Classic in this notebook was just a handy thing, and the main thing to promote was this book, but it turned out that everyone just stared at the Three Character Classic and forgot about the notebook itself.

This is 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.

Put your head down to eat and drink.

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

Didn't feel left out.

As for the big shots in the court, they wouldn't come to him, and he wouldn't make trouble for himself, after all, the gap between the two sides was there.

After the dinner was over, everyone left.

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

Those things he brought out today, people with a discerning eye can tell that they are rare things at a glance. Rare things are good, but rare things are the things that make money, right?

In the court hall, except for Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu who are very old-fashioned, no one has two shops.

This business can be done.

Especially the Dressing Pavilion, as long as it appears in Chang'an's world, the banquet tonight will definitely cause a mad rush.

On the other side of the gentry officials, there was a gloomy cloud and mist, and groups of three or four quickly disappeared outside the palace gate.

While Wang Dequan was dealing with these dignitaries, Zheng's house was in the courtyard.

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

"We can't go on like this anymore." Zheng Xu said, "We compromised on the paper before, and the Ming court is getting more and more aggressive. Although I don't know if they have mastered the latest printing technology, it should be done anyway. Control one or two."

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

"There are also those nobles who are also building some libraries recently, which is digging our roots!" Wang Shilang said viciously, "If things go on like this, where do we gentry have any advantage?
For thousands of years, the efforts of countless generations, how can it be easily wiped out by others. "

"The food supply of the Daming royal court is now cut off." Someone said, "At least they can't let them have nothing to do when they are full, and they have to toss out something to deal with us."

Zheng Xu shook his head and said, "If you say it, you can break it. How can it be so easy? How can you break it easily after you start it? It will still take some time."

But with this time, the royal court of the Ming Dynasty doesn't even know how much food they can stockpile...

He regretted it a little, he shouldn't have started this in the first place, he should have strangled it when it was in its infancy.

"I have an idea." Wang Shilang said.

Someone asked, "How?"

"As long as the Tang Dynasty is short of food, who would dare to transport the food out?" Wang Shilang said, "But my method is indeed a bit extreme. Why don't you listen first, we..."

After hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this more than radical?This is sin!

"No, absolutely not." Zheng Xu said, "It's not something that can't be spread. If this thing is done, it will be struck by lightning!"

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

But Wang Shilang said: "If you don't fight back, let the Daming royal court develop so comfortably? Then come up with more things to deal with us?
We were willing to transport grain to the past, firstly because it was profitable, secondly because we could use this to contain the throat of the Ming court, and most importantly, our own interests would not be affected.

But let's take a look at today, have our interests been affected?

Others are almost digging our roots!Are we still silent?

Although I know that you all have better ways to solve this problem, don't those take time?We are not short of time, Daming Wang Ting is short!
And my method is effective and the fastest. Within three days, the food supply of the Ming court will be cut off. This is the most important thing. "

Seeing that no one responded, Wang Shilang said earnestly again, "Don't be kind to women, it's amazing, just let me bear this evil deed alone.

Even if the sky is struck by lightning, and people and gods are all angry, I will resist it alone.

The roots of the gentry 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 court are sold all over the Tang Dynasty before you realize the crisis of the matter! "

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent. Was he right?
Actually it is right.

Daming Royal Court really made them feel helpless, not to say how strong Daming Royal Court is, but the technology of Daming Royal Court, which is really unique in this world.

This has been proven over and over again.

At the beginning, they thought they could contain the Daming Royal Court, and in fact they were able to contain the development of the Daming Royal Court.

But it takes time!It's not about containment, it's containment...

At the beginning, they thought that by supporting the Daming Royal Court as a bridgehead and letting the Daming Royal Court fight and kill for Datang, they could slowly develop themselves while Datang stabilized themselves.

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

But Daming Royal Court is restless!

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

Engage 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 with others!Instead of having nothing to do when we are full, come dig our roots!
"Let's 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. In the end, they still handed over the decision to the family.

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

The problems of the Ming court are already obvious. Since his identity was exposed, everyone lacks a sense of crisis and always feels that the Tang Dynasty is their backing.

Such thinking is actually very dangerous, so Li Chengqian made such a fuss on purpose.

He didn't know what these guys in Datang were thinking?

He knows, but his subordinates don't know.

If there is a small conflict with Datang that is within the controllable range, then those under his command can clearly realize that Datang is Datang, and he is neither your father nor your mother!
When the Tang Dynasty is really in danger, no one will care about the life and death of the Ming court.

As for how the gentry would fight back, he didn't care, what he wanted was the result, not the process at all.

That's why, he insisted that Wang Dequan present these gifts after the sending team set off.

It's nothing more than eating the benefits you get first.

As for the future, we can do whatever we want in the future.

The Royal Court of Ming Dynasty must have the ability and determination to stand alone, otherwise, the Royal Court of Ming Dynasty is not worthy of talking about the future.

Where is the future for a dynasty whose fate is held in the palm of others?
The next thing to look at is the response ability of Daming Wang Ting itself, as well as the response ability of his officials.

This is actually a good thing for Li Chengqian.

To put it bluntly, this matter is not critical for the foundation of the Ming court. After all, he already has a lot of food reserves, plus the dowry for this marriage, let alone a lot, it will be no problem to survive the winter.

If the officials of the Daming Royal Court really can't solve this problem, then he will do it again. It's not that he has no way to reverse the situation.

It was the officials of the Ming Dynasty who needed such a situation to recognize their position and exercise their abilities at the same time.

Of course, he didn't expect that the gentry could do such unconscionable things, but does it have anything to do with him?
In the palace, Li Er and his eldest grandson looked at the things that their son and daughter had sent, and were very satisfied.

Especially the eldest grandson, she really loves the dressing room.

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

The eldest grandson is also generous, and he didn't treasure it up, but put it there generously.

"My sister is really lucky." Concubine Yang said enviously.

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

The eldest grandson said with a smile: "Ke'er is also a filial child."

In this era, a woman's show 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 I can only show off my sons and daughters.

"That kid Ke'er is so frizzy, it's hard to be a great talent." Concubine Yang said, "My sister wants Ke'er to come back soon and be a Prince of Peace with peace of mind."

The eldest grandson pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, she understood that this was Concubine Yang hinting to herself that her son had no intention of coveting 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, the position of the East Palace is secure.

In the future, as long as there are no major accidents, even Li Er will not be able to shake his position. After all, Li Chengqian's succession can bring back a large area of ​​land.

Who wouldn't want to be able to open up territories without mobilizing troops?

Therefore, at this moment, she is not in a hurry to let these princes go, and put them in front of her eyes, so she can still stare at them.

If you really want to do it, it will be even more troublesome if the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Concubine Yang didn't insist either. From her point of view, Li Ke was still young, so she didn't feel at ease, and she was just expressing her opinion 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 conflicts with him. The lessons learned from the past are still there. To be a prince of peace is already the biggest luxury of her mother.

Born into the royal family, thousands of people envy, but only they know how thorny and thorny it is.

After dismissing Concubine Yang, Li Ercai came late.

"What, what did Concubine Yang tell you?" Li Er smiled with his hands behind his back.

The eldest grandson smiled: "It's nothing, just doing homework."

She would not talk about this kind of thing, if Li Er got up, Li Ke would be in trouble, and she would offend others, "Isn't the clairvoyance sent by Gao Ming in your Majesty's hand?"

Li Er was overjoyed when he heard the words, and held it in front of him, saying: "Don't look at this little thing as inconspicuous, it's really a treasure."

For this clairvoyance, he really loves it.

Don't look at the commotion caused by the dressing room, but for Li Er, ten dressing rooms are no match for the clairvoyant in his hand.

"Oh? What's so magical about this thing?" asked the eldest grandson.

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

Ordinary things, there is no way to be worthy of what Li Er said.

"Look for yourself, this thing is worthy of the name." Li Er smiled, and after speaking, he handed the clairvoyance to his eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson saw that Li Er had used it before, and he imitated it, but he only had a glimpse, so the eldest grandson put it down hastily, and took a second look at it. That's right, he didn't see the flowers.

Seeing this, Li Er smiled and said, "Should it be a treasure? If I had this thing when I conquered the world back then? At least one year earlier, the world could be pacified."

What a smart person he is, once he got his hands on this thing and knew its use, he knew that it must be a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

Predict the enemy first, this is a fighter!

"Why did Gao Ming give this thing out carelessly?" the eldest grandson asked curiously.

Hearing this, Li Er pretended to be sullen and said, "What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with my son respecting me?"

"That's not what it means." The eldest grandson said, "This kind of Qiwu is regarded as a treasure, how can everyone know it?"

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

"It's still inappropriate." The eldest grandson said, "It's not uncommon to see good things in the Ming court nowadays, why don't the concubines send some more people there? At least help Gao Ming take care of it."

After finishing speaking, the eldest grandson looked at Li Er.

Li Er waved his hand when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, don't worry about the little family business that the child created by himself. If you really want to be worried about it, look at it, it won't happen in the future." There is no such thing as a novelty."

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

After speaking, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
