Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Chapter 487

"Your Highness!

Dozens of paper workshops managed by the aristocratic family all raised their prices, and the bookstores also raised their prices accordingly.

The civilians were miserable, and the mouthpiece of the aristocratic family took the opportunity to slander that it was caused by His Highness. "

East Palace.

Mingde Hall.

Listening to Liu Rong's report, Li Jing slumped on the chair weakly.

He worked too hard last night, and he still felt a little dizzy at the moment.

"Don't panic.

Zuo Yi was imprisoned, and the aristocratic family must take action, which was expected.

Fortunately, the little fat man has made some progress, and he thinks he can improve the efficiency of the paper workshop in two days. "

Liu Rong nodded and smiled when he heard the words, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is wise.

It was for this purpose that Wei Wang Taishi sent people here.

The prince of Thailand said that within three days, the new paper will drop by five layers.

Once the aristocratic family fails to get rid of it, it will definitely lose half of the family's wealth. "

"it is good!!!"

Li Jingwen's spirit lifted, he knocked on the table and said to himself: "If this goes well, Jizhou Anzi can also be activated at the same time.

Although the foundation of the aristocratic family is intricate and complicated, it is impossible to kill all the chaos with a quick knife, but it can capture thieves and kings, and knock mountains and shake tigers.

And if the price of the paper shop is reduced, it will be a blessing to the people of the world.

Once the prices of bookstores are lowered accordingly, and movable type printing is popularized, the way for ordinary people to study will be reduced by a few points.

Gone are the days when the rich and powerful arbitrarily decided on the imperial examinations.

If things go on like this, the imperial court no longer has to worry about the rich and powerful controlling the government. "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Liu Rong and others responded in unison.

Follow Li Jing for many days.

They had long admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before them.

If they hadn't been lucky enough to follow Li Jing, everyone really didn't know how miserable the future would be.

"You don't need to flatter me, I don't like that."

Li Jing waved his hands pretending to be indifferent, but the corners of his mouth raised up involuntarily.

Regardless of his past and present lives, he is a narcissist.

The resistance to this flattering is just like Li Shimin's.

"pony.

You still need to keep an eye on the Zuo family and send someone to negotiate with it every day.

Either the Zuo family handed over their wealth and let the court manage it, or Zuo Yi turned his head into a different place and became an enemy of the court.

However, with the support of the Cui family, the Patriarch of the Zuo family would definitely not agree.

The way the Zuo family threatens the court is to keep raising the price of paper, hinder the Academy of Sciences and the Chongxian Hall, and disrupt the livelihood of the people in the capital.

You tell the person negotiating, remember not to refuse outright.

Let's hang Zuo's family first, so that he can't bear to sell it.

After waiting for the little fat man to succeed, he transported the raw materials from the Su family dock back.

At that time, I will definitely watch with my own eyes, the people of the aristocratic family cry for their father and mother, and disappear in ashes! "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ma Zhou bowed bitterly in response.

People like him, who came from a poor family and have never received favors from a family, don't like the world's family the most.

Seeing that Li Jing's plan for the aristocratic family is coming to an end, he really feels extremely happy.

Just thinking about Cui Xianshou who could not take revenge, he felt a little bit lost.

Most of the grievances he suffered in the face of the aristocratic family originated from this person.

But, who made Cui Xian's head soft and flexible, willing to be a traitor?

Now that he is "a minister in the same hall", if he takes revenge again, he will inevitably be misunderstood as narrow-minded.

……

a day later.

Zuo Family Mansion.

The gate that was kicked down a few days ago has been repaired.

Feng Shu shook the door in embarrassment, and said to himself: "Your master moves very fast, such thick wood is hard to find."

The steward of the Zuo Mansion was startled when he heard the words, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Magistrate Feng is joking.

The head of the family was frightened a few days ago, and it is inconvenient to receive guests, so I ask County Magistrate Feng to be more considerate. "

"It's okay!

No problem!

This officer has taken the liberty to come here today to disturb you, and I hope the Zuo Patriarch will not take offense. "

Magistrate Feng shook his head and smiled awkwardly.

Followed by the steward, went straight to the main hall.

After County Magistrate Feng sat down, the servant brought tea, and the butler just smiled and said: "Magistrate Feng, you just informed the Patriarch of your small intention.

The head of the family ordered me to tell the county magistrate:

It's not that my Zuo family is unwilling to help, but that the price of paper mills in the city has suddenly increased recently, and all my friends from dozens of generations have come to my Zuo family for help.

Now my Zuojia paper shop is working day and night, and I have no time to help the court. "

Magistrate Feng snorted secretly when he heard the words, and said with an unchanged expression: "The imperial court also knows that the Zuo family is in trouble.

Therefore, I plan to buy Zuojia rice paper at the original price, and I will never compete with the people for profit. "

"Buy at the original price?"

The housekeeper smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said complacently, "Magistrate Feng knows how much the rice paper has increased by now?"

Magistrate Feng's expression changed.

But before he opened his mouth to answer, the housekeeper said more and more proudly: "Three times!

Now the price of rice paper in Beijing has more than tripled!

May I ask County Magistrate Feng, is the court really willing to buy it at the original price? "

"This……"

County Magistrate Feng paused for a while, and said falteringly: "I'm afraid the housekeeper may have misunderstood something.

The original price His Royal Highness said was before the price of rice paper rose.

Now that the price has tripled, the imperial court is really unable to afford it. "

"Before the rise?!"

The housekeeper complained secretly, seeing Li Jing's shamelessness for the first time.

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has some misunderstanding about "purchasing at the original price"?

How can you dare to say that you are not competing with the people for profit just by taking such a trick?

"Your Majesty.

The head of the family said just now:

The Academy of Sciences and the Chongxian Museum are both important events that benefit the country and the people.

If it weren't for our lack of strength, how could my Zuo family have no choice but to shirk.

It's just that if the county magistrate is really allowed to buy it at the original price, my Zuo family will definitely be unable to make ends meet.

I also ask the county magistrate to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that there is really nothing I can do about it. "

"Is there really nothing you can do?"

County magistrate Feng suddenly changed his face, looking at the butler and asked sullenly.

Before he left, he knew how many paper mills and craftsmen there were in the Zuo family.

Not to mention the provision of the Academy of Sciences and the Chongxian Museum, even the entire Gyeonggi can afford it.

That being the case, what the steward said at the moment was clearly evasive.

As the county magistrate of Chang'an, how could he let the housekeeper fool him in front of him.

"This……"

"Cough cough~"

When the butler was at a loss, a cough suddenly sounded outside the door.

Feng Shu heard the words and looked up.

I saw the Zuo Patriarch walking slowly, looking haggard, with the support of a young man.

"Jizhou Zuo Hong, I have seen County Magistrate Feng."

Zuo Hong gave a salute seemingly with difficulty.

County magistrate Feng hurriedly stood up and replied, "Don't dare!

Don't dare to be!

I took the liberty to come here, and I also ask Patriarch Zuo not to be offended. "

"The visit of County Magistrate Feng made Zuo's family flourish, how can I be surprised by this old man.

Please sit down, County Magistrate Feng, why not drink a cup of tea before chatting. "

Zuo Hong pointed to the upper chair on the left, walked to the right and sat down on his own.

Seeing this, Feng Shu was not polite, sat down calmly, and said bluntly: "I think the Zuo Patriarch already knows why this official is here.

That being the case, this official will not be courteous to the Zuo Patriarch anymore. "

"The old man just heard about it."

Zuo Hong nodded, stroked his beard and said, "It's just County Magistrate Feng.

Now that the price of rice paper is soaring, if my Zuo family sells it to the imperial court at the original price, it will definitely be hated by the rest of the family.

The county magistrate might as well go elsewhere to ask.

If someone is willing to sell it to the court at the original price, my Zuo family will naturally not be stingy with the money. "

"Hehe~

Patriarch Zuo laughed. "

County magistrate Feng waved his hand and said seriously: "Who doesn't know that the Zuojia Zhifang is the best in the world.

If you, the Zuo Patriarch, hadn't nodded and agreed, how would others dare to sell it to the imperial court without permission.

But since Patriarch Zuo doesn't want to suffer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who steals by chance.

How about selling all the Zuo family rice paper to the imperial court at twice the original price? "

"double?"

There was a flash of light in Zuo Hong's eyes.

If this is the case, wouldn't the Zuo family get rich overnight?

Faced with such a big temptation, it was really hard for him to refuse.

But since Li Jing is so eager, if he doesn't delay for a few days, he seems to be a little sorry for the revenge of the day.
