Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 56 Give me money?Then if I don’t accept it, won’t I look down on you?
Hearing Lin Heng's words, everyone broke out in cold sweat at this moment.

They knew very well the significance of books to scholars, to aristocratic families, and even to the Tang Dynasty.

Paper is expensive, and books are also valuable because of manual copying and the difficulty of finding templates.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, there were very few people who could afford to read.

As for the aristocratic family, due to its own resources, the children of the family can not only study, but also receive a good education, which puts a huge gap between them and ordinary people.

It’s no wonder that the world’s richest people come from aristocratic families.

But once this book spreads and becomes popular, scholars all over the world will inevitably spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and the impact on the entire family will be devastating.

Previously, everyone was dismissive of Lin Heng because Lin Heng only produced paper, and the price of books was still difficult to lower.

But now, they have to be afraid, because everyone present knows that if Lin Heng really spreads this skill, the price of books in the world will be reduced to a level that makes them stunned!
Lin Heng smiled and said nothing, looking at everyone with different expressions.

You guys are so arrogant, why don't you be arrogant anymore?

threaten me?Then I also threaten you to give it a try?
Cui Hong was the first to speak, with a smile on his face again: "It's really rare for Mr. Lin to develop such craftsmanship. I admire you very much!"

When Lu Siqi heard this, even though he was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to show the slightest contempt on his face.

This is about changes in the family!
Lin Heng smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, I'm just a nobody, how can I compare with everyone in the aristocratic family?"

Cui Hong said quickly: "Young Master Lin is such a talented person. No wonder Your Majesty would choose Mr. Lin as your son-in-law. We really admire him!"

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Who said just now that I have disgraced the royal family? The old man named Xiao, is that you?"

Lin Heng looked at Xiao Qian, who was about to get angry immediately after hearing this, but he still endured it and managed to squeeze out a smile: "County Lin Lin misunderstood, it's all a misunderstanding."

Lin Heng was surprised and said: "Really?"

"A talent like Mr. Lin's is more than enough to match Her Highness the Princess. He is so talented and beautiful!"

Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction: "You people who are about to be buried are still nice to talk to. Some young people are just too angry."

Wang Shaoyu and Lu Siqi both looked ugly when they heard this. Cui Hong kept hinting at them, but they never spoke.

It is impossible for them to bow to a mud-legged person in this life!

Seeing this, Cui Hong also shook his head slightly and asked: "County Lin, I wonder what your plans are for the future? This printing..."

Lin Heng sighed: "Originally, I just want to start a small business and live peacefully, but some people say they want to suppress my business, prevent my raw materials from entering Chang'an, and stop my production."

"At first, I planned to use this technology to print dot paintings, text, etc. and sell them. You literati like this the most because it makes money. But now, I have other plans."

Everyone's hearts tightened: "No, as long as I am waiting, no one in Chang'an City will dare to suppress you!"

"As for what I said before, County Master Lin just thought it was a pleasure to hear it, right, Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Qian also said quickly: "Yes, no one in business would do that. Fair competition is the right thing. County Master Lin has the ability to make money, how can we secretly stumble?"

"I will assure County Prince Lin here today that this will never happen!"

Lin Heng looked at them: "What about before?"

He looked at Lu Siqi, who immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I will shut down Tianshangke!"

"Soaps and perfumes" have been "moved away, and they will never occupy Lin County's space in Linjiazhuang!"

Lin Heng was somewhat satisfied after hearing this, and then continued to finish what he had just said: "At the beginning, I wanted to donate this technology to His Majesty."

Before Lin Heng could finish speaking, someone immediately said, "No, absolutely not!"

Lin Heng looked at the man and ignored him, then continued: "As for you, you also know that I am a person who serves the country and the people, and I have a sense of righteousness and a breeze on my sleeves."

Everyone's mouths couldn't help but twitch when they heard this. Are your words too narcissistic?
Aren't you just a small businessman?
But Cui Hong still said seriously: "Lin County's children are highly virtuous, intelligent, and honest. It's appropriate to have such thoughts."

"That's right!"

At this time, Xiao Qian said: "But should we discuss this donation to His Majesty?"

Lin Heng immediately glared: "You don't want me to donate to His Majesty so that the people of the world and the Tang Dynasty can benefit. What are your intentions!"

The old man was also a little panicked at this time. If the accusation spread, his old frame would probably fall apart. He quickly explained: "I didn't mean this, Mr. Lin. After all, we are also businessmen, and what you said at the beginning I think it’s a good idea.”

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"

"It's just that Mr. Lin wants to live a peaceful life. I think this is very good!"

Lin Heng smiled and said, "How do you say that?"

Xiao Qian said: "Isn't life supposed to be about pursuing peace? It's a good thing for Mr. Lin to have no fight with the world and not to seek fame and fortune. But in this kind of world, you definitely can't be innocent of yourself. Therefore, I, the Xiao family, are willing to unilaterally do this for you." Lin Xianzi opens up the market in Shandong and lets Lin Xianzi live this kind of life as soon as possible!"

Cui Hong also said: "On behalf of the Five Surnames and Qiwang, I am willing to help County Lin open up the market in the south of the Yangtze River, and we will only provide resources and will never participate in any matters related to sales and sharing!"

"I and other aristocratic families are also willing"

Listening to these people's conditions, Lin Heng also smiled: "Everyone, don't you just want me to give this printing and papermaking technology to Your Majesty?"

Everyone looked embarrassed: "We feel that if Mr. Lin masters this technology, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money and realize the life that Mr. Lin expects early!"

"But I am a person who serves the country and the people."

Cui Hong also said in pain: "My Cui family is willing to donate five thousand books to Your Majesty to fill the national library, how about it?"

"My Lu family is also willing."

Lin Heng shook his head: "If I donate this technology to His Majesty, Your Majesty may be happy and give me a marquis. Isn't this doing me no good at all?"

But didn’t you just say that you serve the country and the people?Is donating books not right up your alley?

At this moment, everyone understood Lin Heng's thoughts. They felt that the conditions were not enough and they wanted to add more!

Xiao Qian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Then in order to make Mr. Lin feel fair, my Xiao family is willing to unconditionally give Mr. Lin five thousand guan as compensation every year. How about it?"

"My Cui family is willing to pay five thousand guan."

"My Pei family is willing"

Seeing this, Lin Heng laughed. It would have been better if he had a better attitude earlier, but now he has lost his army at the expense of his wife.

This is not what Lin Heng wanted, it was given by the family on their own initiative!
These aristocratic families are really good people!
