Chapter 124 There is a way
"Brother Yang Zhuo, tell me quickly, how can you restrain the aristocratic family?" Li Shimin leaned in front of Yang Zhuo, staring at Yang Zhuo in a daze, not daring to blink at all, for fear of mishearing!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had already set up small benches and listened intently!
"This one is actually not difficult!" Yang Zhuo ate the roasted rabbit legs leisurely, "Qier, the roasted rabbit legs are too dry, next time brush with more oil."
"Okay!" Li Lizhi listened to Yang Zhuo the most.
Li Shimin: …
Fang Xuanling...
Du Ruhui...
"Brother Yang Zhuo, this is a big deal, please... Uh, be serious." Li Shimin said with a dark face.
Yang Zhuo smiled and said: "Then listen up!"
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling once again concentrated their attention.
"Do you know why this aristocratic family can be so strong and enduring?" Yang Zhuo asked.
Li Shimin and the others looked at each other, they were clear in their hearts, but it was useless to be clear!
Just shake your head!
"That's because they have resources in their hands! Among these resources, the most important resource is the network resource!" Yang Zhuo said.
"How to say?" Li Shimin frowned.
"It has been said since ancient times that the rich cannot last three generations and the poor cannot last three generations, but this great family has been able to prosper throughout the generations. The most important point is that they have mastered the connections. They will cultivate talents, especially those who enter the court and become officials!"
"Look, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, almost all the officials in the imperial court were monopolized by noble clans. They rely on the clan clans, so they are naturally working for the clan clans! It's no wonder they listen to the emperor's words!"
"If they have political resources, they will be able to control economic resources, and if they have enough economic resources, they will be able to further control political resources. This cycle is like this. Therefore, only aristocratic families can last forever!"
Li Shimin and the others stared wide-eyed, boasting in their hearts, Yang Zhuo summed it up well!Can catch the point!
The fact is also true. Although Li Shimin is the emperor, it is difficult for him to command the ministers in the court.
However, due to the fact that they are not the direct relatives of the family, they are the disciples of the famous family.
Nothing to do with them!Their relationship is intricate!It's tricky!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, tell me, how to solve this?!" Li Shimin looked at Yang Zhuo with a sad face.
He wants to be an emperor who can make decisions, not an emperor who is always tied down by the aristocratic family!
"It's not difficult!" Yang Zhuo said with a smile, "To stop this cycle, we have to get rid of the bottom line!"
"Why are you pulling out your salary from the bottom of the pot?" Li Shimin looked straight at Yang Zhuo.
"Cut off all the officials in the imperial court who are involved with the noble families!" Yang Zhuo said with a smile.
"No way! The court will be in great turmoil, and the emperor will not agree!"
Du Ruhui was the first to object. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He knew what it meant to cut off officials who were related to aristocratic families!
"That's right! Brother Yang Zhuo, I'm afraid this won't work!" Fang Xuanling also shook his head!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, this really won't work! There are too many officials related to the aristocratic family! If this is cut off, there will be almost no one in the court!"
It's not that Li Shimin didn't think about cutting off the officials of these aristocratic families, but, after all, if they really wanted to cut off, there would be almost no officials in the entire imperial court that could be used!
This is definitely not possible, after all, the court still has to operate!
Yang Zhuo smiled, shook his head and said, "You guys! You are just short-sighted and don't know how to adapt!"
Li Shimin...
Du Ruhui: ...
Fang Xuanling...
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin was puzzled, did he say something wrong?
"I said to cut off the officials related to the aristocratic family, but I didn't say to do it immediately! This is just the last step, and there is still the first step!" Yang Zhuo said.
Li Shimin: Why didn't you say it earlier!I almost scolded my mother!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, tell me!" Li Shimin said anxiously.
Chatting with Yang Zhuo can make him anxious to death!Always look lazy and leisurely, not talking for a long time!It's annoying!
"We still have to start with the books first." Yang Zhuo said slowly.
"Why is this related to books again?" Fang Xuanling was puzzled.
"Think about it, why are there only officials from aristocratic families in this imperial court, but no children from poor families?" Yang Zhuo asked back.
"This is obvious. Poor people don't have enough to eat. Where can they get the money to buy books?" Du Ruhui asked.
The ancient papermaking and printing techniques are not good, and it costs a lot of money to make a book, so ordinary people can't afford it!
Those who can read books are either rich or expensive!
"That's right! If books become cheaper! Then tell me, will children from poor families have the opportunity to study?" Yang Zhuo said.
Li Shimin shook his head speechlessly, and said, "I understand this truth! However, the cost of making this book is very high, and it can't be cheap at all!"
This, they all know!
"That's them! Don't count me in!" Yang Zhuo said with a smile.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up!
From the tone of this girl, there is a way to make books cheaper!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, quickly tell me your solution!" Li Shimin said anxiously.
"I invented a new paper-making method, and I can make high-quality paper with the bamboo that is the easiest to find!" Yang Zhuo said.
"Bamboo?!" Li Shimin opened his mouth wide!
"Bamboo is too hard to handle! How can it be made into paper?" Du Ruhui questioned.
"That's right! This bamboo is very difficult to handle!" Fang Xuanling also shook his head.
"You don't believe what I said?" Yang Zhuo said contemptuously.
The ancients really have no experience!
"No...it's just that it's a bit difficult." Li Shimin explained.
"Since you don't believe me, I'll take you to see my paper-making workshop." After speaking, Yang Zhuo got up and took Li Shimin and the others to the paper-making workshop.
They walked into the paper-making workshop and saw that there were villagers from Yangjiazhuang, who were busy making paper!
"This... this is really made of bamboo!" Li Shimin said in surprise.
They saw a lot of bamboo piled up in the workshop!
The villagers skillfully beat the bamboo into pulp, and then after a series of procedures, a piece of paper is made!
"This bamboo can really make paper!" Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling admired!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, what is the price of your paper?" Li Shimin looked at Yang Zhuo with bright eyes.
"Cheap! Ten times cheaper than other paper on the market!" Yang Zhuo said slowly.
In ancient papermaking, specific trees and the like were used as raw materials to make paper, and the quality was average.
Because specific raw materials are difficult to find, the quantity is limited, and there is a certain growth period, so it also makes paper expensive!
But using bamboo as a raw material is different. First of all, bamboo is easy to find and can be found everywhere.
Another one, the growth period of bamboo is short, and it grows a large area!
In this way, the price of raw materials is low, and the cost of this paper is naturally reduced!
