Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 210 Reconciliation?are you serious?
On Yushitai, Li Zhi sat on his wicker chair, crossed his legs and stared at Cui Zhiwen who was working.

"Something seems to have gone wrong. My intentions have been exposed, which has aroused the vigilance of Fang Xuanling and others."

Cui Zhiwen was working on the case file, and when he heard Li Zhi's words, he raised his head and glanced at him.

"Isn't this expected? You have done so many little tricks. If the ministers still don't realize the danger, they are no longer worthy of being in high positions."

"But it's too early." Li Zhi said distressedly: "If the gentry group is determined to fight against this king, there will be a lot of resistance in doing things in the future."

Cui Zhiwen put down the pen in his hand, and solemnly suggested: "Then how about reconciling with the gentry bureaucrats if you don't show your goodwill?"

"are you serious?"

Li Zhi curled his lips, dismissing his proposal, "Forget it, it's just a little resistance, at worst, I'll just accept it."

"Isn't this the end?" Cui Zhiwen said helplessly, "Since you don't intend to reconcile and you have no way to change their views, you can only accept the result calmly."

"I just made a few complaints. It's not like I don't know this, so why don't I use you to remind me?"

Li Zhi choked on him, and muttered in a low voice: "I really don't know what it means to be considerate."

"You want to be considerate, find a good wife and mother yourself, and stop harassing my work here?" Cui Zhiwen was also a little upset, blowing his beard and staring at the table, his aura was like a rainbow.

Seeing that he was indeed a little angry, Li Zhi didn't want to continue harassing him. He smiled coquettishly and said: "You are busy with your business. I will take the first step and won't disturb you anymore."

Cui Zhiwen just stared at him blankly without speaking.

Li Zhi really couldn't bear the look in his eyes, and left resentfully.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Cui Zhiwen to relieve his boredom, but he accidentally irritated him.

It's good now, I don't even have anyone to chat with anymore, so I have to go do some serious business.

After leaving Yushitai, Li Zhi went to the general supervisor to inspect the progress of the loading and unloading machine.

Seeing that the things were almost finished, he returned to Prince Jin's Mansion and posted a notice on the bulletin board.

Three days later, the Weishui Pier will unveil the first official invention of the Patent Office, and people from all walks of life are welcome to come and watch.

After posting the notice, the rest of the time was just waiting.

When Jiang Zuojian produces the stuff, the loading and unloading machine will make its public debut for the first time, showing the latest technology of Datang to the world!

At the same time, it is also proving the role of the patent office to the imperial court.

When this object appears, I believe it can change many people's views on technology.

There are many difficulties ahead, but Li Zhi has the confidence to overcome all difficulties and change the world by himself.

……

There is an extra notice on the bulletin board of Prince Jin Mansion.

This incident quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

Everyone who paid attention to Li Zhi's movements knew the Patent Office's next plan.

Inside the Great Wall, there are rumors about the Patent Office everywhere.

"Have you heard? His Royal Highness Jin Wang, who has brought down the price of paper by himself, has made a new invention. I heard that this time it is a machine for loading and unloading goods at the wharf. It is said that it can replace manpower and easily unload the goods." Cargo weighing several tons.”

"Is it true or not? It's not a rumor, is it?"

"The price of paper in Chang'an City has indeed fallen. Bamboo paper has gone from five hundred yuan per ream to three hundred yuan per ream, and now the price is less than two hundred yuan per ream. This is due to the emergence of paper machines. With the changes brought about later, you think King Jin will have a big deal this time, right?"

"But even if it is true, what does it have to do with us ordinary people? Those who transport goods on the Weishui River are either people from the imperial court or businessmen. They have nothing to do with us, right?"

"Who knows? It's amazing anyway, just treat it as a fun show, and it doesn't cost money."

……

In the streets and alleys, discussions about loaders are everywhere.

Among the common people, the proportion of craftsmen is quite high.

Even those ordinary people who usually don't pay attention to government affairs have begun to pay attention to the latest developments of the Patent Office because of the popularity of this topic.

In addition, various governments are also discussing whether the establishment of the patent office will benefit Datang.

Unlike private discussions, officials focus on whether the development of technology will make it difficult for them to do their jobs.

Many people have a pessimistic attitude towards this, thinking that Li Zhi is meddling in his own business.

For officials who are accustomed to the existing system, any change will cause their resistance.

Especially the gentry group headed by Fang Xuanling, they are extremely vigilant about this.

At Fang Xuanling's house, many officials from the gentry group gathered at this moment.

They gathered in Fang Xuanling's study to discuss this issue.

"The emergence of the paper machine has already reduced the price of paper to the point where ordinary people can barely afford it. If these strange techniques continue to develop, Confucianism will be shaken! If the common people no longer believe in saints In other words, if we start to pursue miraculous tricks, our rule may also suffer a fatal impact."

"The arrogance of King Jin must be suppressed. If he continues to let him do what he does, the whole world may really be changed by him. At that time, what status our gentry will be in is still two things to say."

"But how to stop it? The patent office is obviously more beneficial than harmful to the world, and we can't find an excuse to stop the establishment of the patent office."

"We can only think of a way. Whether it is academic pressure or inciting people to cause trouble, we must let the Holy One understand that the emergence of these new things will bring about turmoil."

"The world has been in chaos for so long, the most difficult thing for the Holy Majesty to accept is the turmoil in the court. As long as the Holy Majesty's Ni Lin is touched, even King Jin will have to be afraid of three points, right?"

……

After discussing for a long time, Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, Yan Xiangshi and others still felt that they had to attack Li Zhi from all angles at the same time, so as to make Jin Wang flustered and take advantage of the chaos to suppress his arrogance.

The tide of innovation is not easy to stop, but they can block the establishment of a patent office from the perspective of the government.

Everyone in the world is profit-seeking. As long as the craftsmen feel that there is no profit to be made, even the wave that has already started may calm down.

The united noble group works with unprecedented efficiency.

Coping strategies were quickly figured out and specific implementation plans were discussed.

Just wait for the day when the paper machine is unveiled publicly, and give Li Zhi a fatal blow.

The counterattack of the gentry is about to begin.

This may be a severe test for Li Zhi.
