That night, they didn't sleep or rest. They discussed the details of the college entrance examination and the imperial examination. At the same time, Li Er gave the order for Zhangsun Wuji to coordinate the secret opening of the Tang Bookstore.
The movable type printing technique was their secret weapon against the aristocratic families. Naturally, before they went all out, he had to experiment with it. If possible, he would promote it across the board!
The next morning.
Li Shi Min announced his decision.
In a big city, anyone could take the college entrance examination regardless of their status or family background.
After passing the college entrance examination, one could enter the imperial examination. It did not depend on status or family background. As long as one's results were outstanding, one could enter the ranking.
Once this news was released, the world was in an uproar.
In Chang 'an alone, a large number of poor scholars signed up for the college entrance examination on the first day.
His passion for learning was completely aroused.
-------------
"To participate in the college entrance examination with all kinds of people!”
"How is this possible? How was this possible? Who are they? Who are we? This law should be abolished!”
"That's right, auxiliary machine. If we, noble families, sit in the same room as a group of lowly commoners! This is an insult to us!"
"This old man has already contacted all the other factions. I want to go against the Tang Emperor. Even if Li Yuan was here, he wouldn't dare to do this to our clan!”
"His Majesty must have been bewitched by someone. Assistant, you must investigate clearly and drag him out of the city to be beheaded! As an example!"
"The world is ours. Our clan has worked hard to help Li Tang govern the world. Why? Are you going to kick us away?”
"He can't! He, Li Shi Min, was not qualified. He was too arrogant. Just him? Hmph, was he not afraid that the officials in the country would not be convinced?!”
“·····”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at the clan leader sitting in the hall.
They were arguing. They were angrily rebuking him!
When the decree was issued in the morning, they rushed to Zhangsun Manor from different places. They wanted to resist!
In their eyes, this was simply absurd and ridiculous!
They were from the five families and seven Wangs!
The blood flowing in their bones was higher than others. Just based on their surnames, they could obtain official positions!
But now, they were actually competing on the same stage as the lowlifes in their eyes. This was something they could not accept no matter what.
Zhangsun Wuji laughed.
He pressed his hands together, signaling them to be quiet.
"Everyone, everyone, listen to me!”
" His Majesty has been coerced by various forces recently. He has no choice but to make such a decision. Look, look..."
"When His Majesty ascends to the throne, he will naturally issue laws to appease the people. As you all know, His Majesty has just ascended to the throne not long ago, so he urgently needs to calm the people's hearts.”
"Of course, Your Majesty also knows that we are family!”
Zhangsun Wuji said.
"Hmph, he knows that we're family, so why did he kill us like this?”Cui Yong shouted.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Your Majesty has long thought of all the inappropriate aspects.”Zhangsun Wuji smiled and nodded at her.""Look, although the imperial examinations are open, let me ask you, how many words does a basic book of the Book of Songs cost?”
Cui Yong pondered for a moment and replied,"A hundred wen!" This was the worst version, incomplete and full of mistakes!”
"Isn't that settled!" Zhangsun Wuji laughed out loud. At that time, won't we still be…"
"Moreover, the method is so public that no one in the world can say anything!”
"This is based on their own abilities. What can they say? With this, the world will be safe for a long time, and we can rest easy!”
"Don't you think so?"
Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
The moment he said that, the eyes of all the noble families in the hall lit up.
He figured it out after thinking for a while!
That's right.
Isn't that the truth!
"This is a method that His Majesty thought of day and night. Everyone, don't waste His Majesty's good intentions.”Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Right, right, right. You said too much about the auxiliary engine!”
"Haha, when the time comes, we can make some adjustments to raise the price of the books and lower the quality by a few percent. This decree will become our cash cow!”
"That's right, that's right. Your Majesty is still Your Majesty. Ahaha…"
“········”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at them with a smile on his face.
The smile in his heart grew even wider!
Scream, shout.
Let the three provinces and His Majesty prepare their strength.
What you will receive is a storm of blows!
The aristocratic families left the Zhangsun Manor in satisfaction.
On the second day, the price of the books soared by thirty percent. This left the Humble Class scholars dumbfounded.
Helpless, they could only spend even more effort to obtain a book with extremely complicated content and full of loopholes.
On the third day, the news of dissatisfaction began to spread in Chang 'an.
On the fourth day, the poor scholars gathered on the streets and cursed the despicable aristocratic families.
The fifth day!
The sixth day!
The seventh day!
·······
The aristocratic families were very happy. In just ten days, the profits from the books they read had exceeded the total of the past three months!
All of this lasted until fifteen days later.
A bookstore named Tang Bookstore quietly opened in Chang 'an.
