After seven years of fiefdom, Li Shimin asked me to return and become the crown prince.

"Wang San, do you know where they get the goods for their store from?"

After returning to his shop, Wang Hu slumped on the ground with a decadent tone.

Originally, it didn't matter that there was a Wanbao Pavilion suddenly, after all, it was not his fault, but this time he bought a lot of Dongzhu and bronze mirrors despite the pressure from his family.

It was expected that they would be sold out soon, but with the sudden appearance of a Wanbao Pavilion, it would take a long time to sell out these things.

Wang San also said at this time:"I have heard them talk about this. It seems that they were shipped from countries west of the Western Regions. The journey is long!"

"West of the Western Regions?"

Wang Hu's eyes lit up. He had to inform the master about this matter and let him make the decision.

If he could also get a source of goods outside the Western Regions, he would send...No, their Wang family became rich...

One day, two days...Seven days...

In a blink of an eye,

Wanbao Pavilion has been in Chang'an City for twelve days

"Shopkeeper Li, if we keep going like this, everything in Wanbao Pavilion will be sold out in less than half a month!"

The shop assistant looked at the busy shop and said to Li Shu who was counting the bills at the counter.

"Don't worry, my team transporting goods will be here soon!"Li Shu paused for a moment, signaling the clerk not to worry.

Now, in addition to the wine that can be produced by ourselves, mirrors, glass beads, water cups, sugar, salt, and tea all need to be shipped from Lingnan. He didn't expect that the consumption of the rich in Chang'an City was so crazy.

Recently, the business has been booming, with an income of more than 20,000 strings of money every day. However, as time goes by, the sales of valuable items such as mirrors and glass cups have begun to decline.

However, the number of people who need salt, sugar, wine, and tea is increasing day by day.

He wrote a letter back yesterday, asking the prince if he wanted to buy some new things, such as soap, and of course some other things.

Li Zhengdian

"How ridiculous! These guys are forcing me to abdicate. Do you really think I dare not touch them?"

Li Shimin smashed the teacup in his hand, his eyes were about to burst with anger.

Just now in the court, Wang Ting, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, embezzled 100,000 strings of silver. He originally wanted to execute that man, but he did not expect that most of the court officials would collectively plead for mercy, and only let him be demoted to Lingnan.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The Five Surnames and Seven Families are also useful. Our Tang Dynasty still needs them to cultivate talents!"At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and persuaded quietly.

He was Li Shimin's brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji.

"Humph, you still want to cultivate talents?"Li Shimin's eyes widened:"Cultivate talents that will prevent my orders from leaving Chang'an City?"

It was said in the early years that as long as the Five Surnames and Seven Families were willing, Li Shimin's decrees would not leave Chang'an City.

How could Li Shimin not be angry?

"....."This time, everyone was speechless and didn't dare to speak.

"Your Majesty, we must cultivate our own talents and cannot let the Five Surnames be so rampant!" Cheng Yaojin on the side suddenly said this.

He had been to Lingnan and knew that if he wanted the people to live happily, the officials and the people had to be united.

But with the Five Surnames and Seven Families, this was impossible.

For their own interests, the people even became bargaining chips for the two sides to fight.

"It is easy for Duke Lu to say that if he wants to get rid of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan, he must cultivate the children of poor families. However, books are basically in the hands of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan, and paper is expensive in Chang'an. Even if the children of poor families want to copy books, they can't even afford paper. This is why there are basically no poor students in the Imperial College!"

At this time, an elegant middle-aged man came out, and his tone was also a little solemn:"If the problem of expensive paper can be solved, we can take out the books from each family and let the poor students copy them!"

Changsun Wuji added again:"Prime Minister Fang, do you know how expensive this paper is? A piece of yellow paper costs one penny, and a book costs hundreds of sheets! {At that time, it was all written with a brush, and there were not many words on a sheet! }"

You know, if you want to achieve something in literature, it is impossible to read only one or two books. Which official has not read hundreds of books.

Carefully comprehend the wise sayings in the books.

Li Shimin is now more determined on this point. If he wants the Tang Dynasty to become stronger, he must disintegrate the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan to cultivate the children of poor families:"Cultivate the poor, books... paper, and so on... paper!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but repeat it again.

Cheng Yaojin also thought of the paper...Isn't there paper in Lingnan City? Li Kuan made so many promotional leaflets to sell houses, but many of them were thrown away. Some frugal people even took them back as toilet paper.

This is enough to show that paper is extremely cheap in Lingnan.

Could it be that he has mastered a new and fast papermaking method?

With Lingnan's magical manufacturing ability, even glass cannons can be made. It is very likely that there is a new papermaking technique.

""Okay, you all go back!"

Li Shimin calmed down, sat back in his chair and waved his hand, asking them to leave.

But just when everyone was about to leave the room, Li Shimin spoke again:"Yaojin, you stay!"

Cheng Yaojin knew what Li Shimin was going to say, so he stayed.

There was also Liu Renyuan in the room!

The three of them discussed for more than an hour, and Li Shimin made a decision.

If they forcefully asked Lingnan for it, Li Kuan might just say no with his character, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.

The solution they came up with was to send Cheng Yaojin and Li Daozon, the chief minister of the clan, to discuss cooperation with Lingnan in the name of businessmen, so that Li Kuan would make concessions.

In any case, it was imperative to weaken the family.
