Li Kuan didn't intend to keep the paper making technique for himself.
Paper and books were important factors that restricted the rise of the Humble Class.
Good quality paper was expensive and ordinary people could not afford it.
Even if they could afford it, there was no movable type printing. If they wanted to read books in this era, they had to copy them.
The books were basically controlled by the aristocratic families, so there was no place to copy them.
By relying on aristocratic families, one could obtain the opportunity to read all kinds of books. This also led to the majority of scholars in the world relying on aristocratic families or receiving financial support from aristocratic families.
Or perhaps they were from aristocratic families, so there were more and more scholars and officials who were related to aristocratic families.
This was the foundation of an aristocratic family.
For Li Kuan, it was not enough to rely on himself to deal with the aristocratic families.
Unless Li Kuan disregarded the consequences and ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guards to exterminate these aristocratic families.
However, there were hundreds and thousands of clansmen in the families that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. They could not be killed.
Therefore, Li Kuan had to make use of his father's power to slowly plot against the aristocratic families.
Although the Tang Dynasty also had an imperial examination system, how could ordinary people, who could not even eat, compete with the children of aristocratic families who had received good education since childhood?
Li Kuan instructed the craftsman to make a few pieces of white paper according to the process of paper making.
He brought the white paper Li Kuan to the palace.
.....
"What is it? You said that you can mass-produce this kind of paper, and the cost is very low?”
In the study room, Li Shimin looked at Li Kuan in shock.
"Yes, this is the method left behind by my master. After thinking about it, I decided that it would be better to give it to father.”
Li Kuan looked at Li Shiming and said.
Li Shiming was still in shock after hearing the confirmation.
After a long while.
Li Shi Min stared at his son and said seriously,""What do you think?"
Li Shiming understood what this cheap and good paper meant to the Great Tang and the Imperial Family.
Therefore, he wanted to hear his son's thoughts.
"Aristocratic families."
Li Kuan said.
Hearing Li Kuan's answer, Li Shimin looked at Li Kuan with admiration.
"Your son also knows a method to mass-produce books.”
Before Li Shiming could say anything, Li Kuan threw out another killing weapon.
"What is it? What method?"
Li Shi Min asked in confusion.
"Imperial Father, have you carefully observed all kinds of seals? The method that your son mentioned is related to this.”
Li Kuan didn't answer Li Shiming's question directly.
Hearing Li Kuan's answer, Li Shimin looked at the seal on the table and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Are you saying that by engraving the words on the back of the wooden board, we can really produce all kinds of books quickly?”
Li Shiming was a little emotional after he understood. As an Emperor who was extremely controlling, Li Shiming was also quite troubled by the current situation of the aristocratic families.
Now that he seemed to have found a way to curb the development of the aristocratic families, how could Li Shiming not be excited?
"Not only that, you can divide the words into small pieces. This way, you can put whatever words you need on them. This way, you can avoid engraving the same word repeatedly.”
Li Kuan added as he looked at the excited Li Shiming.
"Good, good, good!"
Li Shiming was extremely excited by the things that Li Kuan brought today.
"Kuan 'er, you've done a great service this time. Tell me, what reward do you want? I'll agree to it as long as it's within my means.”
Li Shi Min looked at his outstanding son and promised.
"I want to be the Crown Prince, but you definitely won't agree."
Li Kuan thought to himself.
"Your son doesn't want any reward. As a prince of the Great Tang, your son will naturally do his part for the Great Tang.”
Li Kuan refused Li Shimin's reward righteously.
What a joke. Other than the money in the national treasury that can't be used casually, you might not be as rich as me.
In a while, I'll become a millionaire or a multimillionaire.
"How about this? Since this paper making technique is yours, I'll give you 10% of the money earned from the paper in the future. You don't have to do anything. You just have to lie down and collect the money. How about it?”
Li Shimin was very generous with his conditions.
"Your son thanks Imperial Father."
Li Kuan quickly agreed. Only a fool would not want money, although he would earn more if he sold it.
But the Great Tang was truly poor.
His father carried forward his frugal style, making the entire palace not very rich.
Every time Li Kuan came to the palace for a meal, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, it seemed that the food in the palace was not as good as his.
Should he bring his younger brothers and sisters to improve their food?
Li Kuan muttered to himself.
Li Kuan planned to leave after he finished his business.
He had done everything he could. What happened next would depend on his father's performance.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.”
After saying that, Li Kuan left and walked toward Empress Zhangsun's bedroom.
Li Shiming looked at Li Kuan's back and fell into deep thought.
Li Shiming was very proud of his son.
However, this son of his was too outstanding. He was so outstanding that he had already overshadowed the Crown Prince.
Not to mention his literary skills, in terms of martial arts, he was already the best in the Great Tang. Even Cheng Yaojin was no match for him.
He also had a good view of the big picture.
The key was that he was only nine years old now. What if in the future, he would be able to do so?
Li Shi Min now understood his father's feelings.
Having a son who was even more outstanding than the Crown Prince, it was really worrying!
Li Shi Min rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Forget it. We'll talk about this later."
