Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li You didn't know how Li Shimin knew he was here, but since he was called out, he could only walk out resentfully.

"My son sees my father!"

There is no one else here now, and Li You just casually bowed his hands.

Seeing Li You's appearance made Li Shimin smile angrily.

He didn't care what Li You was doing here, and asked, "You'er, you heard what I said just now, go and prepare textbooks for Kong Yingda."

"Imperial examination textbooks are of great importance, and I have granted this batch no need to pay taxes to the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

【Whether I pay or not, it's all my money. Li Erkang's generous face is really unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future! 】

[It doesn't matter, for the sake of your performance in dealing with Dongpu today, this matter must be handled properly for you. 】

[There is also the Salt Supervisor, just wait for the surprise! 】

Li You nodded and backed out.

Although he knew that Kong Yingda would look for him, Li You went to Concubine Yin's side first, and after a simple examination of his mother, he returned to Shence Mansion.

At this time, Kong Yingda had been waiting here for a long time.

"His Royal Highness, you are back!"

Upon seeing Li You, Kong Yingda immediately stood up and said hello.

"Don't worry about Kong Jijiu, the matter has been explained to the emperor. Let's go to the enlightenment textbook now!"

Li You nodded with a smile, and then brought Kong Yingda to the warehouse.

"My God, how long has King Chu been preparing for this?"

Seeing the Three Character Classics in a warehouse full, Kong Yingda was shocked.

Then Kong Yingda picked up a book and flipped through it, and suddenly he felt that he couldn't close his mouth anymore!

As he kept stroking the book, Kong Yingda suddenly showed a look of heartache on his face.

"King Chu, this printing, this paper! It is really a waste to print enlightenment textbooks."

"This kind of paper should be used to print the Four Books and Five Classics, and Confucian classics!"

This made Li You feel a little embarrassed: "Kong Jijiu, this paper was made by my Shence Mansion, so I can have as much as I want in the future."

"The printing workshop is also in Shence Mansion, we can print anything!"

Then Li You took the skeptical Kong Yingda to see six or seven warehouses and two workshops that were also full.

After reading all of them, Kong Yingda was not only shocked, but also delighted.

"Your Majesty is really far-sighted, and the move of the Shence Mansion is really brilliant!"

"It's really a surprise to avoid the attention of the aristocratic family!"

"It's a surprise, it's a surprise!"

He knew that Li Shimin didn't lie to him this time, and the Shence Mansion really had a solution to the problem.

In Kong Yingda's view, the King of Chu and the Shence Mansion are just a cover.

It was Li Shimin who was really standing behind.

The two workshops are so big, who would have imagined that an eight-year-old child did all of this.

Li You knew that Kong Yingda had misunderstood. Although he was a little angry, he really couldn't explain anything, so he could only speak.

"Kong Jijiu, as for the textbooks for other imperial examinations, it will take a few days before they can be printed. The most urgent thing is these enlightenment textbooks!"

Kong Yingda nodded, he was still clear about the priorities.

As long as the imperial court distributes these enlightenment textbooks, the aristocratic family will have no reason to raise prices.

Although those scholars are easy to be agitated, their brains are not stupid, and they will naturally be able to see the way of it when the time comes.

Wanting to understand the key point, Kong Yingda said again: "King Chu, how do we distribute these books?"

Hearing this, Li You was so angry that his teeth itched again.

[This Li Er, I know that being the shopkeeper is really irresponsible at all. 】

Then Li You explained to Kong Yingda again.

At first, Kong Yingda was a little bit repelled when he heard that the Imperial College was going to sell books, but after Li You explained, he also smiled.

"Your Majesty's idea is really good."

"In the future, the exam materials will be run by the Imperial College and its subordinate county schools, and scholars will no longer have to look at the faces of the aristocratic family!"

With such a strategy, Kong Yingda naturally put it on Li Shimin's head.

【Then this old Confucius is counted on the head of Li Er again. Is this the idea of ​​labor and capital? 】

[Forget it, it’s rare to explain, this old Confucius is also very stubborn. 】

[Besides, so what if you explain clearly, I will probably bother me in the future, so let him misunderstand like this. 】

Although Li You kept rolling his eyes in his heart, he still nodded in approval.

In this way, Li You's papermaking workshop and printing workshop have found their way out.

The people rely on Liu Yijie, and the court is Kong Yingda.

There are a large number of books from the system, and Li You is not worried about content issues.

Li You believes that, at least in one or two years, Datang's book market will be unprecedentedly prosperous.

After cultivating the reading habits of these people, Li You believes that the team of writers he cultivated must be ready.

Newly produced works must be able to cover this content gap.

It's really bad, even if these two workshops keep printing textbooks, they won't be idle.

After explaining this matter, Li You called Liu Ji and Mou Bin in front of him.

In the main hall today, he has decided to bring down the salt price in Chang'an within three days, so he will naturally not break his promise.

"Berwen, help me figure out how many households there are in Chang'an now, and how much salt I need to eat for a month!"

"Then let's organize production according to this output. There is no need to transport raw materials into Chang'an anymore, and produce locally!"

"Employ as many villagers as possible near the production areas, and select the ones who speak the most eloquently."

"Mu Bin, you send people to ensure the order in these places. It's best not to leak the news, but don't be too radical, keep a low profile."

"In addition, people from Jinyiwei choose a warehouse in Chang'an City, and the produced salt is secretly transported in."

"Withdraw all the people in Gyeonggi who can be withdrawn. After three days, a lot of people will be needed."

In a short period of time, Li You already had a detailed plan.

Much of what he told Liu Ji and Mou Bin was about production, and he had another idea about how to sell them.

Li You was going to catch these aristocratic families by surprise.

In order for this plan to be implemented, it is not enough to rely on the people in his hands, he also needs to find someone to help.

This person is his uncle, Zhengyin Hongzhi, the current supervisor of the Salt Supervisor.

First of all, Yin Hongzhi has an advantage that Li You does not have, that is, he is familiar with Chang'an.

Although Li You is smart and has a good memory, he is a child after all. He has never been to many places in Chang'an, let alone understood them.

"Sister Sakura, let's go back to the Yin family's old house together."

After explaining to Liu Ji and others, Li You asked Xiao Ying to go to Yin Hongzhi.

The reason why Xiao Ying was called was because Xiao Ying's family had been servants of the Yin family for several generations, and her parents were both in the old house of the Yin family at the moment.

After Xiao Ying followed Li You out of the palace, Li You allowed her to go home at any time.

But in order to strictly carry out the order of Concubine Yin, Sakura rarely visits her parents.

Now that I can go there with Li You, I am naturally overjoyed.

However, as soon as Xiao Ying arrived at the door of Yin's house, she saw her mother, Aunt Wang, walking out of the door with a worried face.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Sakura quickly stepped forward and asked.
