Datang: My virtuous brother did not expect that I am the emperor!

He, Li Er, can conquer the world even better!

Otherwise, in the process of conquering the world, the aristocratic family can't afford to give you a backstab!

How the Sui Dynasty fell, Li Er, as the person involved, is very clear!

Now, he will not give these families any chance!

"Wuji, all the money and food from the Ministry of Households support Xuanling's affairs, and let Yan Liben's Ministry of Industry follow what my good brother said, and make living blanks for movable type printing!"

Li Er took a break!

"When the time comes, print all the books I use for reading, the more the better!"

Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and said!

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said!

Changsun Wuji also had a serious face, after all, this time the enemy cannot be resolved by force!

……

boom!

"He, Li Er, wants to take the imperial examination again, hmph, I can't do as he wants this time!"

All the heads of the Cui family, five surnamed Qiwang, came here to discuss countermeasures!

Although the Lu family's Wang family is no longer worthy of being called Qiwang because of the refined salt problem!

Because a family without a foundation will decline sooner or later, and they have already seen their end after losing the salt tax!

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

After all, they can still cause a little trouble for Li Er now!

"Isn't Li Erzhong holding the imperial examination because he wants to do something to the officials of our aristocratic family!"

"Since this is the case, all officials of our aristocratic family will go on strike tomorrow, let's see how Li Er responds!"

The head of the Wang family said bitterly!

I don't know who invented this imperial examination system, it is simply the nemesis of their family!

In the past, the selection of officials usually came from aristocratic families, but after the imperial examination system was introduced, people from aristocratic families actually had to be assessed together with the humble and humble children, so how could they not be bored!

"Well, not only that, but the price of books and paper will increase tenfold. Without books and paper, I will see how these poor families learn, and they want to compete with us!"

The Patriarch of the Cui family laughed out loud. The papermaking technology they controlled printed gold instead of paper. The income from the white paper alone accounted for [-]% of their family's total income!

One can imagine how precious this papermaking technique is!

The Cui family glanced at the Wang family who had lost their monopoly on salt, and the Lu family snorted coldly, only mastering the core technology can do it!

At that time, the heads of the Wang family and the Lu family were defiant when they had salt!

Now, neither of them can talk in this meeting!

Strength is above everything else, without strength, no one respects you!

Even your teammates look down on you!

"Even if Li Er re-opens the imperial examination, we are not afraid. When the time comes, we will send the most elite children of the family. The chip will still be ours. Li Er can only promote it to us!"

Another old man said!

Could it be that the elite children of their aristocratic family failed a group of poor scholars? !

If this is the case, this is Li Er's malpractice for personal gain!

Certainly not possible, who in the aristocratic family has not started learning since childhood, reading four books and five classics every day, just like this, can't lose to those muddy legs!

All of them nodded their heads. After so many strategies, how dare you, Li Er, resume the imperial examination in the future? !

When the time comes, you, Li Er, have to beg them obediently!

Let you know that this world is not up to you, Li Er, alone!

You really regard our family as a soft persimmon!

Smiles appeared on the faces of the old men, and they were already fantasizing about Li Er admitting their mistakes!

……

After the old men made their decision, for a moment, the white paper in the entire Chang'an City was more precious than the equivalent gold!

Books are hard to come by!

All the scholars in Chang'an hated the family's practice very much!

Your Majesty just wanted to reopen the imperial examination, and originally wanted to buy books to study!

Chapter 88

"What?! This piece of paper actually costs money?!"

A person dressed as a scholar is standing in a paper sales office of a family!

"What's the matter, whether you like to buy or not, you poor scholars can't afford it, so come here and don't disturb our business!"

The shopkeeper didn't even look at him, and kept waving his hands, as if chasing away an annoying fly!

The scholar's face was so pale that he was about to bleed. Originally, His Majesty had already spread the news of the resumption of the imperial examination this time!

The post stations of the entire Tang Dynasty are spreading this news in all directions!

Originally, he was in Chang'an City, and he wanted to be one step ahead of others, to study quickly, so that he could get good grades in the exam by then!

It is said that His Majesty will make more use of the students who passed the exam this time!

However, now I am stuck at the first step!

The money used to last almost a year for the whole family, but now I can only buy a piece of paper!

The same weight of gold is not so expensive, after all, how light is paper!

At this time, another scholar came beside him!

"Boss, how did you sell the Analects of Confucius!"

The scholar's face is also full of excitement, after all, His Majesty reopened the imperial examinations to recruit poor families!

It is a great joy for them!

"The Analects of Confucius is ten in one book!"

The boss glanced at it, and said in his heart, another poor scholar came!

"What, why don't you grab the ten guan!?"

"Your Analects of Confucius was carved out of gold?!"

The scholar was startled when he heard this!

"If you can't afford it, get out, ink blot!"

The shopkeeper got impatient and chased people away!

If you don't buy it, people will buy it!

"Let's go, brother, let's go to the next one to have a look, ignore this black-hearted boss!"

The two scholars nodded and walked to the next house together!

I saw that the door of the second store was also full of indignant scholars shouting loudly!

"Your paper is made of gold?!"

"Gold is not as precious as it is made of, but it has to be consistent?!"

Every scholar has an angry expression on his face, this family is too bullying!

In order to guard against their poor family, they did such a despicable thing!

It is definitely no coincidence that the price of paper has skyrocketed just after His Majesty started the imperial examination. These scholars are not fools either. I can know that this is an indiscriminate means by the aristocratic family to guard against their humble children!

"Your family is too shameless!"

"A group of shameless apprentices, dare to beat us openly, don't engage in such indecent methods!"

"Yeah, yeah, fair and honest, dare you!?"

Every scholar shouted, after all, this is related to their future, who doesn't pay attention to it!

But now someone actually stuck their necks, making it difficult for them!

This group of scholars will naturally fight with them to the end!

"What's the name of a group of sour scholars? Today, my shop won't sell it, and I won't sell it for any money. It's closed!"

The owner of the aristocratic family directly closed the door, so go and find whoever you want!

The scholars at the door all shook their heads, what about the imperial examination this time!

What review without paper!

At this time, the voice of surprise from the common people suddenly came from behind!

"There is a drama performance at the south gate of Chang'an City, hurry up, there will be no room if it's late!"

"Drama? What is a drama?"

"I don't know either. I heard that it's a novelty that came from the palace. The emperor likes to see it!"

"That's right, the emperor likes to watch it, so you have to go and see it when you come here!"

Hearing the conversations of the common people behind him, the scholars also looked curious!

"Drama!?"

"Let's go and have a look!"

It's not a solution for a group of scholars to keep making trouble here, after all, you can't do anything about them if they don't sell paper!

They don't know what to do for the time being!

A group of people rushed to the south gate in a mighty way, only to see that the place is already overcrowded and full of people!

You can't see the edge at a glance!

"This means that most of the people in Chang'an City have come!"

A scholar saw this scene and said in shock!

After all, ancient people didn't need to go to work or go to school!

Nothing but eating and sleeping every day!

When these idlers heard that there was a program at the South Gate, they rushed over in a swarm!

I saw the common people gathered around a big wooden platform, and a man on it shouted with a big homemade iron horn!

"The white-haired girl drama will start in a while, everyone pay attention to discipline, have quality, don't make loud noises, what are you doing, you can't defecate anywhere!"

The host pointed to a person and said!

Sure enough, under the control of the host, the audience became silent, and everyone watched eagerly!

After all, this drama is a new thing that the emperor likes to watch, and they are very satisfied with it being performed for free by ordinary people like them!

When the host saw the scene in front of him, he became happy!

The common people are still obedient, much easier to serve than those in the palace!

The people in the palace refer to Li Er and other concubines and children!

Li Er has been fascinated since he found a few court ladies and eunuchs who are very good at acting in the palace to rehearse a few dramas!

Although he watched the white-haired girl every day, Li Er basically had to be there, which delayed him from looking for Su Chen!

Too beautiful!

Although Li Er has seen the script, there is still a big gap between the script and the performance!
