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

Chapter 631 The pressure brought by the Great Ming Dynasty
For Li Er, it is quite a nonsense thing to surrender his status to pretend to be an official of the household department. There is no way. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials.

Hearing Li Er's words, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Speaking of which, our business is thanks to the support of the court, otherwise there is no place for us."

What he said was true, they were the only ones doing business in the entire bookstore.

Although he didn't know Li Er's identity, he never doubted Li Er's identity.

After all, in Chang'an City, the most indispensable thing is these officials.

Li Er smiled when he heard this, picked up a leather object on the counter and looked at it.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly introduced: "This is a pen seal, also called a pen case, which is specially used to store various pens. Although most of the pen holders are used at home, this thing is much more convenient when going out."

Li Er didn't speak, just opened it and looked at it on his own.

There are two doors facing each other. After opening, there are four locked round buttons on each side, and a writing brush is clamped in each of the round buttons.

The four round buttons on both sides are also staggered, but when closed, they fit perfectly.

However, what really caught Li Er's attention was the four large characters stamped on the lower part - Made in Daming.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Er put it down and picked up another wooden box.

On the side, the shopkeeper continued to introduce: "This is a pencil case, which is no different from a pencil case, but most of the charcoal pencils are placed inside."

Li Er opened it, and sure enough, a row of charcoal pencils were neatly placed inside.

What really caught Li Er's attention was the four large characters on the pen case - Made in Daming.

He looked at various types of notebooks beside him again. He had seen this thing before. When he opened the first page of the notebook, what he saw were six characters in two lines——San Zi Jing, Li Chengqian.

And turn the whole book over, the last page is still those four big characters, made by Daming.

I looked at many things again, no matter if it was a book case, a drawing board, an official folder, etc., none of them could escape being made by Daming.

"Things are specially prepared for scholars, but I don't know how the sales of these items are?" Putting down the items in his hand, Li Er raised his head and asked.

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper immediately laughed and said, "Needless to say the sales volume, after all, it must be a high-quality product produced by Daming."

Li Er nodded. On this point, he had no doubts.

"Is there an account book?" Li Er asked.

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard that, but he quickly nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the military officer will wait a moment."

Li Er was not in a hurry, and just waited quietly.

Not long after, the shopkeeper took out an account book and said with a smile, "Please look at it, Sergeant."

After receiving the account book, Li Er flipped through it on his own, but looking at those astonishing figures, he became more and more startled.

He knew that this shop actually not only supplies Chang'an, but supplies the bookstores of the entire Tang Dynasty.

But even so, he didn't expect the sales to be so huge.

"My official sees that you deliver goods twice a month to different places. Why, once is not enough?" Li Er asked suspiciously, pointing to the account book.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "If it's just the bookstore, it would be enough. But today's Datang bookstore basically only reaches the state capital level, and there are very few counties under the jurisdiction of each state capital.

Moreover, even in the state capital, there are many merchants who will purchase a large amount of goods and sell them in their shops, but the military officer can rest assured that the price they sell is the same as ours. To be honest, we just sacrificed our interests. .

Of course, in order to revitalize the culture and education of the Tang Dynasty, it is also what we should do to sacrifice a little bit of our interests.

After all, the more prosperous the culture and education of Datang, the more long-term our business will be. "

Hearing the first half of the shopkeeper's words, Li Er felt extremely disdainful, sacrificing interests for the sake of revitalizing the Tang Dynasty, hehe... But after hearing the latter words, Li Er took another look at the shopkeeper, and there was something wrong.

"What is your best seller?" Li Er asked.

"If you want to say that it's the last one to sell, it's naturally this notebook." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Although the workmanship of pencil cases and pencil cases is more exquisite, it's nothing compared to the sales volume. After all, this notebook is a Consumables, pencil case, pencil case, book case, etc., because of their good quality, it’s not a problem to use them for thirty or fifty years.

What he said is true, the leather is all genuine leather, and there is really nothing to say about the quality.

But Li Er didn't think too much about it, but asked, "How many notebooks can you sell in a month? It's from you."

"Hundreds of thousands of books." The shopkeeper said without having to look through the account books.

These data are too impressive to him.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Er understood everything he should know, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'm bothering you today."

"You are welcome, Sergeant." Seeing that Li Er was about to leave, the shopkeeper gave the clerk a wink, and the clerk immediately came over with a bookcase in his arms.

"Don't blame the Sergeant, take it back and use it first. If someone asks, if someone asks, I would like to ask the Sergeant to recommend one or two." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Li Er was quite emotional when he heard the words, but he didn't refuse. He gave the person accompanying him a wink, and someone immediately accepted him.

"Definitely." After saying that, Li Er cupped his hands and said goodbye.

Until he left Shuge, Li Er still couldn't calm down in his heart.

It's not because of receiving gifts, he can actually understand the mentality of these businessmen.

Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with.

It's a normal thing to do business and get through all the joints.

It's just that the shopkeeper's gift is very good, and there may not be many people who can refuse it.

But this has nothing to do with Li Er, he takes it for granted that his son respects his father.

What really made him feel uneasy were those four words—Made in Daming!And that amazing sales.

The reason why he wanted to come to Shuge to have a look was because of the two childish children before.

At that time, he thought of the notebook with the Three Character Classic printed on it, and he just wanted to see how much influence this thing could have.

It's just that he didn't expect that this trip to the Book Pavilion would make it difficult for him to calm down.

Scholars who want to travel thousands of miles away.

Made in Daming is ubiquitous for scholars.

Monthly sales of hundreds of thousands and annual sales of millions of notebooks made Li Chengqian famous.

To be honest, it is hard for him to imagine now how much influence Li Chengqian has among scholars.

"Let's go back to the palace." After a long time, Li Ercai said with some disinterestedness.

After returning to the palace, Li Er summoned the old servant of the secret spy department. Actually, there was no need to call him, he was like a shadow, whenever Li Er needed him, he was always there.

"Do you understand what Daming made?" Li Er asked in a muffled voice.

The old servant was taken aback, Made by Daming?There are so many made in the Ming Dynasty, which one is made in the Ming Dynasty that His Majesty is talking about?
"Your Majesty, all the things that come from Daming are branded as made by Daming. I wonder which one His Majesty is asking about?"

Li Er frowned, is that so?
Over the years, he has ignored it.

"It seems that Gao Ming is playing a big game of chess." Li Er didn't answer, and said to himself, "Is he preparing for his return to the Tang Dynasty?

On the contrary, I underestimated him, this kid, I'm afraid he thought of this day from the very beginning, right?

Expanding his influence among scholars, ordinary people, and even soldiers in the army, is it so that he can quickly control Datang even if he takes down Datang by force in the future? "

The old servant did not dare to speak when he heard the words.

Li Er didn't care, sighed, stood up, walked outside the main hall, looked northwest, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that I'm really getting old?"

Right now, he has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Do Fang Xuanling and the others know? Yes, they must know, but they never said it!"

At this moment, Li Er was faintly angry!

He could imagine how those guys admired and expected Li Chengqian.

That's right, Tang Ming is one, what a huge and terrifying existence it will be!

They are looking forward to that day!

They are expecting me to die!
At this moment, Li Er was full of hostility!
He hates it!Also complain!
It was I who led you to fight out of the vortex of the former Sui Dynasty, and it was also I who led you to struggle to survive the Xuanwumen Incident, but you are looking forward to my death!

I hope that after I die, that rebellious son Gao Ming will lead you to create a Great Tang that is far superior to me!

Can you succeed?

No!

Li Er quickly gave the answer.

"The Tang Dynasty in such a prosperous age was created by me with one sword and one gun, and the current peaceful and prosperous world was created by me!" Li Er growled angrily in a low voice, "They are all forcing me, right? Come on, come on, Let me see!"

"Chuan, pass on Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng, Duan Lun, Hou Junji... the discussion in Liangyi Hall." Soon, Li Er said.

Not long after, Fang Xuanling and others came to the Hall of Liangyi with puzzled expressions on their faces. Everyone was curious, what happened again?
But at this moment, Li Er had already suppressed the hostility in his body, and looked at the expressions of everyone, and there was a little more peace.

"The purpose of summoning all ministers today is for the imperial examination. Now that we are revitalizing culture and education in the Tang Dynasty, it is also time for us to employ people. It is time to start Enke again." Li Er laughed.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, and Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the culture and education in the Tang Dynasty are flourishing, and if we open Enke, we can also test the achievements in culture and education in the past few years."

Shengming?

Li Er sneered in his heart, and said in his heart, if I didn't open my mouth, you would never bring this up?But on his face, he was full of spring breeze: "However, this time I plan to ban Enke and change to Changke."

Outlaw Enke?

Chang Ke?

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what it meant.

In fact, Enke was also a few years ago. Because of the promotion of culture and education, Li Er specially held an imperial examination. Because it was a royal grace, it was called Enke.

According to normal history, Enke should have appeared only in the Song Dynasty.

As for Chang Ke, everyone really didn't understand.

In this era, there is actually no fixed number of imperial examinations. Basically, it belongs to the kind that you can take if you want, and you can’t take it if you don’t want to.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what Changke is?" Wen Yanbo still asked.

Li Er explained: "The so-called Changke means that the imperial examinations are held regularly. I think that one can be elected once a year."

The reason why he had such an idea was because he had heard the reason why those scholars were going to go to Riyue Mountain in the Book Pavilion before, so he had such an idea.

It's just that he didn't expect that with such a toss, he would do ahead of time what his daughter-in-law would do decades later.

But after he finished speaking, everyone was stunned again.

They can understand the regular opening of the department, but once a year, is the frequency too high?

"Your Majesty, no." Fang Xuanling immediately bowed and said, "It takes a long time to prepare for each imperial examination, if it is held once a year, it will take a lot of time, which is extremely detrimental to the operation of the country.

Moreover, taking an official position once a year, if things go on like this, there will be a large number of redundant officials in the Tang Dynasty, which will also increase the burden on the court. "

What a joke.

An imperial examination, at least two or three months before and after, right?
This is still the least.

Really want to come once a year, good guy, I have been busy with this matter for half a year, do you want to do anything else?
Li Er shook his head and said: "Masters, are there any scholars who have known my Tang Dynasty? Many of them have a heart to serve the country, but they have no way to serve the country.

She obviously has splendid talent in her chest, but she has no chance at all.

Some people even waited in Chang'an for several years, but they waited in poverty.

And what is the purpose of our revitalization of culture and education?Isn't it just to allow more people with lofty ideals to show their ambitions? "

"Your Majesty, even so, the frequency of once a year is too high. Moreover, once the imperial examination is not only moved in Chang'an, but also in all places. At least, we need a perfect arrangement. We can't Students from all over the world are flocking to Chang'an, right?
The old official felt that it was very appropriate to open the general department, but since the general department was to be opened, it was necessary to make a long-term plan, and all counties and state capitals to Chang'an should make arrangements. "Fang Xuanling was unmoved.

Does he not know?
How could it be possible, I don't know how many people sent invitations to his house every day, didn't they just want to board his big ship.

Nowadays, there are even many people touting each other's reputation as a talented scholar, just to be able to catch up with a certain noble family in Chang'an.

Didn't Ma Zhou, who is currently in the middle of the matter, get on Chang He's door, and has skyrocketed ever since?

Well, these people actually look down on Ma Zhou.

Li Er was not annoyed when he heard the words, but nodded his head and said, "Fang Aiqing is right, so let all the ministers discuss and come up with a charter."

Doesn't he know it's wrong?
Of course he knew.

It's just that he is just an idea, as for how to operate it, he knows a fart.

But he is very clear that regular subjects must be taught!

Judging from what he has seen and heard today, he is actually very clear that if he does not open the regular department, the talents cultivated by Datang will be cheaper than Li Chengqian.

The point is that those guys, including Fang Xuanling and others, don't think there is any problem with this.

In their view, it doesn't matter, anyway, the meat is rotten in the same pot, and anyone can eat it.

But in Li Er's view, it was different.

Here's someone snatching that piece of meat out of his bowl!

Regarding this point, Li Er is determined not to allow it, not to anyone, not to mention his own son, even his own father!
And Fang Xuanling and the others were also in a daze when they saw Li Er say this, no, when did our Majesty listen to people's persuasion?
