There was a tea shop in front of the Tang Bookstore.
Li Er, Empress Zhangsun, Zhangsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling sat down, ordered four cups of tea, and waited quietly.
Just as the sun was high up in the sky, the Tang Bookstore, which was completely sealed by the door, opened.
According to the imperial examination that was popular in Chang 'an, a man in ragged clothes, dispirited, and looked like a scholar soon walked in.
Not long after, the scholar rushed out of the shop excitedly. He held a few books in his hand and raised them high!
"Quick…look!! Here, in this bookstore, a copy of "Zuo's Biography" only costs five wen. Come and take a look, come and take a look!!!”
"First come, first served. A copy of 'Zuo's Biography' only costs five coins. Quickly take a look, quickly take a look!!!”
“·······”
The scholar ran to the street in a crazed manner.
Li Er took a sip of tea.
It seemed that the first business deal was successful.
Empress Zhangsun was also very nervous. During this period of time, she had spent a lot of energy on this. He did not even bring Li Chengqian to visit Li Feng.
Fortunately, the first order was easier than he had imagined.
"Your Majesty, Empress, don't worry. Haha, books are the lifeblood of scholars. The Book of Songs, which costs 100 coins, is already selling like hotcakes, but our bookstore can buy one for only three coins.”
Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
"With this combination of punches from Little Langjun, the noble family is really going to have a headache.”
Fang Xuanling smiled brightly.
He loved learning, but he also knew the value of books. Now that he could reduce the cost, it was a blessing for the people.
"Little Langjun…Sigh, the heavens are truly blessing the Great Tang.”Li Er sighed.
Just as they were conversing, the scholar, who had rushed out like a madman, ran over with a large group of people.
"It's here, it's here!!”
"A Zuo's Biography only costs five wen, and a Book of Songs only costs three wen. The Spring and Autumn Annals is also extremely cheap!”
The scholar was on the verge of going crazy. He laughed loudly and roared crazily.
As he spoke, countless people had already rushed into the entrance of the Tang Bookstore.
"Haha, the heavens bless our Great Tang! I've bought the books, I've bought the books! Imperial examinations, here I come!”
"I've already registered for the college entrance examination. I'm just waiting for the big exam next year! Now that the books are complete, I'll go first!”
"Pah! This quality, the printing was so clear, and it was only ten wen. Those black-hearted merchants actually wanted to sell it for two hundred wen, pui!!! Now, profiteers must die!"
"The clarity of this book, and there's not a single mistake. Good, good, good!!! See you tomorrow, everyone!"
“······”
Soon, the first group of people came out from the side door with books in their arms.
They were ecstatic, and their faces were filled with hope and crazed desire!
They had been waiting for this day for far too long.
On this day, the reputation of Tang Bookstore was instantly ruined.
On this day, the scholars in Chang 'an felt as if they were celebrating the new year!
It was also on this day, in the evening, that the various clans gathered at Zhangsun Manor again.
---------------
Set up a government hall.
Morning court!
Li Er looked at the officials below with a refreshed expression.
Yesterday's sales were very good. It could be said that they were unexpectedly good, but these were all within expectations.
But today, he knew that trouble was coming.
But was Li Er afraid?
I'm not afraid!
Anyway, I have my little Langjun behind me. It doesn't matter who comes!
"Your Majesty, I have a matter!"
Zhangsun Wuji spoke from below.
"Speak!" Li Er waved his hand.
"I think that this college entrance examination system is inappropriate!”
Zhangsun Wuji had just finished speaking.
"Your Majesty, I agree!" The Minister of Rites, Wu Qing, quickly took over.
"Your Majesty, I agree. It's indeed inappropriate!”
"Your Majesty, I agree!"
"Your Majesty, I agree! This decree should be re-enacted after further discussion!”
“········”
At the beginning, almost all the important officials in the entire hall stepped forward and began to exert pressure!
Li Er crossed his hands. Seeing them like this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily."Everyone, if there's something, can't we say it earlier? Hmm?"
He stood up and swept his gaze across the people who possessed him. His voice suddenly turned cold."It has already been fifteen days, and everyone in the world knows! If I take back my order, how will the whole world see me?!!”
"Your Majesty! At that time, I was muddle-headed. Now that I think about it, the law is too exaggerated and difficult to implement. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos.”Zhangsun Wuji lowered his head and said again,"Now that the world is at peace and the four seas are stable, we are cooperating with Your Majesty to govern together.”
"I believe that the current imperial examination system is enough and there is no need to reform it!”
"Otherwise, if we rashly bring in officials and fail to observe, it will damage the Great Tang.”
Zhangsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Oh? In that case, are you saying that my people have no virtue or talent?”Li Er's eyes narrowed.
"I wouldn't dare!" Zhangsun Wuji shook his head.
"You bunch of people, don't think that I don't know what you're planning!”
"Noble families, the inheritance of powerful families! Haha, do you think you are the smartest people in the world?”
"By saying this, you want to force me together!？”
Li Er glanced at them.
"I wouldn't dare!" Zhangsun Wuji said.
"I don't dare!"
The other ministers shouted in unison.
Li Er was silent for a while.
"You don't dare? Humph!"
"Well, don't you think you're very smart? Alright, I'll give you a question. If you solve it, I don't want this face anymore. I'll immediately take back the imperial edict.”
"Otherwise, don't come and persuade me! How is it?"
Li Er sounded helpless.
Zhangsun Wuji turned his head and looked behind him.
Everyone hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Alright, Your Majesty, please give me a question!" Zhangsun Wuji said.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you tomorrow morning.”
"Retreat!"
Li Eryi flicked his sleeves and left.
