Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Facts have proved that when something that threatens their own safety occurs, no matter who they are, they will explode with unimaginable power.

After Li Yuankai formulated the action plan, the major families acted quickly.

In the tug-of-war for food, although they lost the ability to control the court, Li Shimin's actions gave them a large amount of real money.

Not to mention, the major families are already powerful, and all major businesses will be in their hands tomorrow. In terms of wealth, I am afraid no one can compare with them.

then.

A frenzy of buying books quickly swept across Chang'an, including several nearby counties, which became the targets of these people.

All the books related to the imperial examination were immediately swept away, and even the books in many people's own collections were quickly bought at high prices.

Speaking of which... the entire mobile family didn't cost too much!
after all.

The news that the emperor will set up an imperial examination has not yet spread, and the actions of the major families are too sudden.

Who would have thought that these books would one day become a sought-after item?

In today's era, the production of books is quite troublesome, and most of them are still controlled by famous big families.

In just a few days, all the books related to the imperial examination in Chang'an, including all the counties and counties that could be radiated, started to be out of stock.

As for relatively remote places, ordinary people are still immersed in the extravagant hope of being able to eat a full meal. Even if the imperial court tells them that they can take the imperial examination, who would be interested in it?

After the news spread that the emperor was going to set up an imperial examination, related books were almost impossible to buy...

……

Zhang Quan and Zhao Feng are among the children from poor families who rarely have the opportunity to study, and their knowledge is also quite high. The experience of studying together for many years has made them have a profound friendship.

When the news came that the imperial court was going to set up an imperial examination and that it was open to the poor, the two were almost ecstatic and didn't sleep for a whole night.

To know.

Usually, it is almost impossible for people like them to rely on reading to get ahead.

Including the two of them, there is only one goal for reading so many books, and that is to become a person valued by the major families.

Then use the influence of these families to achieve the desired goal and exert the value that one should have. This can be regarded as a relatively good way.

They never thought that one day they would be eligible to take the imperial examination.

"It's really great, our suffering for so many years is not in vain!" Zhang Quan said excitedly looking at Zhao Feng beside him.

The two were walking quickly on the way to the county seat. Hearing Zhang Quan's words, Zhao Feng didn't speak, but still had a smile on his face.

Now he has only one idea, and that is to hurry up and buy all the books related to the imperial examination.

The time now is quite precious. Whether you can get ahead in the exam this year depends entirely on your own efforts in the future.

But Zhang Quan was still very excited, and he didn't care that Zhao Feng ignored him at all, expressing his excitement and excitement all the way.

Nearly an hour later, the two stood in front of the familiar bookstore.

This is the only bookstore where they can afford books. Over the years, all related books have been purchased here, and the shopkeeper is quite familiar with them.

It was precisely because of this that after arriving here, the two walked in without any hesitation.

"Oh, you two haven't visited here for a long time, and you thought you'd never see each other again!" The middle-aged shopkeeper immediately showed a gentle smile on his face when he saw the two of them.

"Aren't we here now?" Zhang Quan laughed, and as usual, wanted to start selecting related books.

But as his eyes swept across the store, his face became weird.

Perhaps because he was too excited before, he didn't realize until now that the bookstore was empty, with only a few scattered books still on display.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" Zhang Quan asked in confusion, pointing to the scattered books.

Zhao Feng also noticed something was wrong, and also set his sights on the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"Hey hey..." The middle-aged shopkeeper chuckled and pulled the two of them aside.

"You two haven't been here for a long time. Naturally, you don't know that the situation has changed. As early as ten days ago, all the books related to the imperial examination have been bought!"

"Presumably the two of you came here today to prepare for the imperial examination, right? It's a pity that your speed is too slow, and you may return empty-handed today!"

Hearing the middle-aged shopkeeper's words, Zhang Quan's eyes almost popped out.

They just got the news of the imperial examination, so they ran here non-stop to buy books.

But according to what the middle-aged shopkeeper said just now, someone had wiped out all the books as early as ten days ago.

How is this possible?
"Shopkeeper, for so many years, we have never bought books from other places. You can't lie to us just to sell more money, right?" Zhao Feng looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper and his face became gloomy.

obviously.

He attributed this statement to the fact that the middle-aged shopkeeper wanted to take the opportunity to sell more money.

"Yes! We have been friends for so many years, you can't deceive us for so much money!" Zhang Quan's temper suddenly came up.

He was full of expectations for this, but now he told himself that the book was gone, it was hard to accept no matter what!

"If the two of you don't believe it, you can go to the entire county to have a look. I can guarantee that all places are like this. Now a set of Jingshiziji costs a tael of gold!"

"The prices in all places are the same. I just have a few sets left here. If the two of you need it, I can see it for so many years, and it will be a little cheaper!" The middle-aged shopkeeper still maintained a gentle face. smile.

But in Zhang Quan's eyes, this guy just wants to take the opportunity to make more money!
"Good good..."

"From now on, we will never come to you to buy a book again!" Zhang Quan pulled Zhao Feng angrily and turned away without looking back.

Only the middle-aged shopkeeper was left standing there with a helpless face. The current market is like this, and it is not something that people like him can change.

Angry Zhang Quan and Zhao Feng turned and left, but they came here to get the books. After hesitating for a long time, they continued to go to other bookstores.

Sure enough, as the middle-aged shopkeeper said, this is the case in all bookstores in the entire county.

There are even some bookstores whose prices are even more exaggerated than before, which is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

The sad and angry two stood at the door of the bookstore, unwilling to leave for a long time. The opportunity was in front of them, but now they had to give up because they couldn't afford the books.

And this happens in many places at the same time...
