Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Kong Yingda snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty has solved the matter of studying, but not as we imagined."

"Oh? How do you say that?!"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty has hidden a pile of books under everyone's noses, and is selling them at this time. The number of those books, tsk tsk tsk, you haven't seen it. If you do, you will be amazed."

Yu Shinan clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This... Your Majesty's foresight, presumably he had anticipated this step of the family early, so he hid the books and caught the family by surprise, Gao Ye! Gao Ye!!"

Kong Yingda admired him sincerely.

Yu Shinan was about to follow the topic, but suddenly realized that his purpose of coming here was not for this, so he quickly changed his mouth and said: "Hey~ Chongyuan, what I want to talk about is not this, please read this book first."

Yu Shinan handed out the book.

"Book? What's there to read? This [Book of Songs], not to mention ten times, at least eight times, huh? This is..."

As soon as he opened the first page of the book, Kong Yingda's eyes were bright.

There are many symbols.

Kong Yingda thought it was unique, and quickly turned a few more pages.

As a result, there are all of them.

"Strange, why are there so many symbols on these books?"

Kong Yingda frowned slightly.

"Hahaha, don't you understand now? I was also confused just now, but I checked the explanation of these symbols in books. They are called punctuation marks, but all the books sold in the imperial city have such symbols."

"It's useless to just talk, go far away, come, give me the book, and I will turn to the page of explanation for you."

Taking the book again, Yu Shinan turned to the page explaining punctuation marks, and handed it to Kong Yingda.

When Kong Yingda saw the introduction in the book, his pupils widened slightly.

"This... is wonderful, wonderful!!"

"How did the author of this book come up with the idea of ​​using punctuation marks? It's really wonderful!!"

"Wait, you just said that not only does this book have punctuation marks, but it is all the books in the imperial city, and these books are all from His Majesty. Could it be that they are His Majesty's masterpieces? They were invented by His Majesty, and then they were re-sculpted?!"

After Kong Yingda admired it, he was extremely astonished.

"I don't know that."

Yu Shinan was quite helpless, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the traces of these books are hidden, even the aristocratic family doesn't know, you still expect me to know?!"

"However... Although I don't know the situation, the appearance of these books can perfectly solve the problems of the next generation of scholars in my generation, and there will be no lack of acceptance."

"And because of the punctuation marks, it will be much easier for the next scholar to recite."

"Having said that, these punctuation marks are really powerful! It is easy to solve the problem of jerky and difficult to understand the text, and reduce the entry threshold for reading."

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!!"

"Even I have to admire the author who created punctuation marks."

Yu Shinan praised repeatedly.

He is really astounded by the exquisite design of punctuation marks.

Without changing any content of the book, just adding a few ink points, everything becomes simple.

When Kong Yingda heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Compared with the joy of his friends, he prefers to pursue the essence of things, and he wants to know who the author of the punctuation marks is.

His Majesty?

Impossible, His Majesty is busy dealing with aristocratic families and appeasing the common people, so there is no time to delve into the way of reading.

Even before he ascended the throne, His Majesty was still an army general, commanding an army. He had time to study, but he had no time to explore the way of reading.

So……..

Fang Xuanling?

Grandson Wuji?

Du Ruhui?

No, neither do they.

Relying on his understanding of the three of them, Kong Yingda immediately thought it was impossible.

then.

In an instant.

The general outline of a person appeared in his mind.

There is no specific appearance, but it is a person who occupies a huge proportion of the heart.

Jinyang layman!

In other words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu! !

He remembered that the poems written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu were all punctuated among the people.

It used to be called alternative.

There are also scholars who say that it is the carelessness of Jinyang Layman.

But now it seems that that is the punctuation mark, this punctuation mark is the correct answer from the beginning to the end! !

"His Royal Highness King Chu, you are really... amazingly talented."

"Not only set an example for our generation of scholars, but also help us to understand the content of books more easily."

"You...you..."

Kong Yingda hesitated to speak, not knowing how to describe His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

half an hour.

He put the "Book of Songs" on the table, then took a few steps back, and bowed to it devoutly.

Indescribable wisdom, the only poetic fairy in the dynasty, let me worship you first.

"Chongyuan, you are..."

Yu Shinan was quite puzzled.

Why are you so good, and you suddenly worshiped the book?

At this time the voice fell, Kong Yingda did not reply, only the books on the table were in his eyes, and he kept kneeling down.

His Royal Highness King Chu, I hope to meet again, you can accept me as a student.

Kong Yingda was extremely eager.

........................

The main mansion of the Li family in Longxi, the backyard.

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi was still basking in the sun leisurely.

Today is a rare fine weather, it should be exposed to the sun, otherwise this old bone will rot.

"Homeowner."

But at this moment, a relatively low voice came.

The eyes of the head of the Li family in Longxi flickered, and he closed his eyes again, enjoying the sunshine comfortably, and said, "What? The imperial examination has been cancelled?"

"Hehe, it's a little earlier than expected, but fortunately, the mansion has already prepared a lot of good wine. If other family members come, they should all open the wine jars and have a drink to their heart's content."

The voice fell, but there was no reply for a long time.

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, who was still leisurely waving the feather fan to catch the wind, realized that something was wrong, stopped waving the fan in his hand, stood up, and looked serious.

"problem occurs?!"

The voice was low and a little disturbed.

"Ah."

Jiawei nodded, sighed, and said, "Li Shimin, he...he got a batch of books from somewhere, the quantity is huge, enough to supply the scholars in Chang'an City."

"what!!"

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi widened his eyes.

Aren't all Chang'an's books in their hands?

He personally supervised this matter, which is very clear.

Why does Li Shimin still have a batch of books in his hand?

Where did this come from? !

Damn it! !

More than ten years of planning, the joint efforts of the former Patriarchs and their current Patriarchs, was easily broken by Li Shimin?

Although shocked and unwilling, the head of the Li family in Longxi quickly adjusted. After all, there were precedents for grain and sweet potatoes before, and the ability to accept it had already improved.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"The matter has come to this, since it cannot be stopped, let Quan Chang'an City Bookstore open the door again."

"Books are durable enough to be handed down and readable. If a person buys a book, he will not need to buy it in the next few years or even decades. We need to reduce losses."

The head of the Li family in Longxi issued an order.

Since the method of blocking and physically making books disappear is no longer possible, let's unblock them, at least the gold and silver can be recovered.

Jiawei sighed again, and said, "Patriarch, I'm afraid it won't work. Our books are not competitive, and it's hard to sell them."

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi was stunned, with an expression that you were teasing me, and said: "Books... the books in the entire Chang'an City are the same, not to mention Chang'an, even the books in the entire Tang Dynasty are the same, why don't they have Competitiveness?"

Jiawei said helplessly: "Patriarch, the books released by Li Shimin have punctuation marks that we can't understand, which can make the content of the books simpler, which is not available in our bookstore. Patriarch, let's take a look."

He took out a copy of [Sun Tzu's Art of War] from his pocket.

Open the first page and let the Patriarch Li of Longxi watch it.

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi saw it, and after a cup of tea, he understood the meaning of the punctuation marks.

"This...Damn it, who the hell is helping Li Jia Erlang!!"

The eyes of the Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi were red, with these books, how could the bookstores of their major families sell them! !

He slammed down the book, gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately let all the idle wind detection guards in Chang'an City go out and investigate!!

"Use all your abilities to search, and the family will support whatever you need!!"

"I want to know, even the five surnames and Qiwang want to know, who is singing against us!!"

Jiawei was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Patriarch, this subordinate understands!!"

After all, he got up and left quickly.

After he left, the angry head of the Li family in Longxi began to think about the ins and outs of this matter.

First of all.

Li Shimin certainly didn't know that his own family, including Qiwang with five surnames, had planned for more than ten years.

The former Patriarchs of Five Surnames and Seven Wangs spent a lot of money to hide their identities and traces when they planned their plans, because they didn't want the current emperor to know about their petty actions.

They succeeded, and have been so practiced for more than ten years.

Li Tang has been silent all the time, and Li Tang must not know.

Moreover, for more than ten years since Li Tang established the country, they have never paid much attention to books, and the matter of printing has always been dominated by their five surnames and Qi Wang, and the Li Tang royal family never even mentioned it.

So at this juncture, how come a large number of books emerge.

Who is the expert who has such great ability? !

The head of the Li family in Longxi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The brain was running fast, thinking of any capable people around Li Shimin.
