Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 217 The Impatient Li Family

Facing Gongsunzhi's doubts, Cui Wenzi shook his head and smiled wryly, "Who can decide what matters in this world, Your Royal Highness, that is the world of geniuses and geniuses in this world, and it is something ordinary people like me can understand?"

Since Cui Wenzi learned from Zhao Yi that Achnatherum splendens and vaccinia can effectively treat smallpox, he has been completely convinced by Zhao Yi.

Obviously, now Zhao Yi is a real genius in the eyes of Cui Wenzi, and he knows very well that geniuses are hard to come by, so he will stay in Xianyang City all the time, just looking for opportunities to steal from Zhao Yi. Learn something.

Seeing Cui Wenzi like this, Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui were all surprised, because in their eyes, Cui Wenzi would never lie to anyone, let alone take the initiative to praise anyone, especially if the other party was Someone he looked down upon!

And just when the three of them were talking about Zhao Yi, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and soon Zhang Han led the black ice warriors to surround Cui Wenzi's prescription with water.

"It seems that our Emperor has already heard about your arrival. Let's go and meet him. Today's Great Qin is very different from the past, and these differences are all because of the Great Qin Prince!" Cui Wenzi said meaningfully. The two best friends laughed.

Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui looked at each other and smiled. Since they chose to show up at Cui Wenzi's pharmacy, they were already prepared to meet Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please!" Zhang Han strode into the pharmacy, bowed to Cui Wenzi, and then bowed to Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui.

"Then lead the way." Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui cooperated quite well, which surprised Zhang Han who had made all the preparations.

Originally Zhang Han thought that these two people would resist or not cooperate, so he brought so many black ice warriors here, but he didn't expect that they would do nothing.

But this was good, it saved Zhang Han a lot of trouble, and he quickly brought the two of them into the palace and met Ying Zheng in the imperial study.

When Ying Zheng saw Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui, he immediately praised them greatly, and then vaguely mentioned the matter of letting them serve in the court.

Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui originally planned to stay in Xianyang City for a short time. Seeing that Ying Zheng was so enthusiastic, they naturally accepted all the orders.

In the following days, in Xianyang City, it was still hard to find a copy of the Great Qin Dictionary every day.

The workers in all the printing workshops and paper workshops in Daqin are almost tired enough to vomit blood, but it is still difficult to meet the market demand.

Of course, it is also because it is not only Xianyang City, but Daqin Dictionary has been sold to Guanzhong, Longyou, and even Lingnan.

Wang Chi has not been in the capital for a long time, and his current task is to organize and sell the Daqin Dictionary.

Ying Liman, Wang Wanting, Meng Jiangnu and the others spent the whole day in the mansion of General Che Qi, because they were very busy with printing and paper making.

Feng Shuyi is currently acting as Meng Jiangnu's temporary position, working overtime to make cotton clothes from the cotton brought in from the Qiang area.

Therefore, the entire Chaqi General's Mansion and even the entire East Palace were extremely busy, but Zhao Yi was still unrestrained, spending his days dreaming and dying in the Prince's Mansion, just working hard to be a real idle fish.

After the food shortage problem in Shu County and Hanzhong County was completely resolved, the Li family in Taiyuan exploded.

Because this time their strategy of hoarding odds had failed, the Li clan was gloomy and gloomy.

Of course, the reason why they really exploded was not only because of the food, but also because of the appearance of the Daqin Dictionary.

In the Li family mansion, the owner Li Qiao has a gloomy face, and the eldest son Li Chengxiang is complaining nervously, "Father, now this Daqin dictionary has appeared in all 36 counties of Daqin, and the sales are extremely hot!"

"Our family's Daqin Dictionary is one of the thousand copies allocated to Taiyuan County. It is said that the book was sold out as soon as it was put on the bookstore in the city. It is said that it has attracted the attention of the gangsters outside the city. Raid the caravan carrying the dictionary!"

"That's right!" Li Chengrui, the second child, sighed and said, "Now this Daqin Dictionary is sold at a sky-high price in Taiyuan County, and people can even buy it for thirty thousand yuan!"

"Really!" Li Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "This Daqin dictionary really seems to be tempting! It's just..."

When he said this, Li Qiao changed the subject, "This dictionary is destroying the foundation of my Daqin family. If this dictionary continues to be passed on, the Daqin family will soon decline, and everyone will be wiped out. !"

"Ah?" Li Chengxiang looked surprised, "Father, it's just a dictionary, something for literacy. Is it so serious?"

"Yeah, dad, I've used this thing before, and it's really easy to use. Although we can't participate in this business, it won't shake the foundation of our family!" Li Chengrui was even more puzzled. .

"Confused!" Li Qiao slammed the table, "How can you be so confused, how do I teach you on weekdays?"

"The reason why our aristocratic family can stand tall is not only because of our connections in the court and our status in the world, but also because we are countless times stronger than the humble family. All of this stems from our education."

"But now this advantage has disappeared. The imperial court has begun to dig up the foundation of our family. They have given poor families the opportunity to obtain a good education and compete with our family!"

"Originally, all of this would have been impossible before there was no dictionary, but now that there is a dictionary, poor students can learn to read and write sentences with only one dictionary in their hands, and they can become officials!"

"I believe that the imperial court will soon have new measures to make it easier for poor scholars to receive education and become an official. Is this impact that our family can afford?"

"In time, if there are a large number of humble scholars in the court and the place, how much of our family's right to speak in the court will remain? Isn't this enough to call it a nightmare for my family?"

Hearing what Li Qiao said, Li Chengxiang and Li Chengru suddenly realized, one or two were dumbfounded.

There was finally fear in their eyes. Indeed, as Li Qiao said, the reason why the aristocratic family is able to stand today is largely because the aristocratic family controls education and the only way to become an official.

Students from poor families can't get a good education. With only one or two talented people, it is impossible to compete with a large group of children from aristocratic families who are like wolves and tigers, so the poor family will always be the poor family.

But now, a Daqin Dictionary has broken such a pattern, and the crisis of the aristocratic family has begun to come. How can Li Chengxiang and Li Chengru not be afraid?
"Then, father, this dictionary was compiled by the crown prince. Could it be that both your majesty and the crown prince intend to attack our family?" Li Chengxiang's question finally got to the point.
