Datang: It's a showdown, my son-in-law is going to rebel!

Chapter 52
The Bolingcui clan and Cui Minqian summoned the entire direct lineage of the Bolingcui clan to discuss countermeasures.

"What do you guys think at this time?"

Cui Mingan looked at these people in his own family.

A few days ago, it can be described as high-spirited.

The clannographic thing is being advertised everywhere.

It made the whole Chang'an city know that the Cui clan of Boling is extremely powerful.

Well now, I got carried away, and in the end, I lifted a rock and shot myself in the foot.

How high it was held at that time is how badly it fell now.

No one expected that Fang Qi would erect such a large merit monument outside Chang'an City.

Boling Cui's big gilded characters were written on the top of the merit monument. Now their family is as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Elder Zong, the five surnames and the seven hopes are the same, so we might as well not donate as a group!"

At this time, a younger middle-aged man from the Cui family of Boling raised his hand to Cui Mingan and said, "If everyone doesn't donate, and treat Fang Qi as a joke, wouldn't it be fine if you don't buy his account?"

"You're right."

Cui Minqian nodded, and then said: "Can you guarantee that they will not donate? A few days ago, we were known as the best family in the world, and we have offended all of them invisibly. Aren't you worried that they will catch us off guard? Here we are. At that time, if we lose our reputation, we will be finished!"

"But being held hostage by that yellow-haired boy like this doesn't make us feel good either!"

Another person said to Cui Mingan: "Elder Zong, how to deal with this matter is up to you to decide!"

"Decision?"

Cui Mingan glanced at this person, and then said: "I can decide this matter, I want to see your opinions, this is no longer something I can decide alone!

This is a critical moment for the life and death of our Boling Cui family!

Don't you understand?
This is a conspiracy!He wants to take money from our Boling Cui family openly and aboveboard!

If we don't give it, they will engrave the name of our Boling Cui family on that merit tablet, leaving us infamous forever!
If we give it, the prestige is there, but in the end?At that time, we will only have prestige. At that time, our family can't even afford to eat. What's the use of prestige alone?

You should think of countermeasures carefully for me, and don't say anything that makes me feel that our Bolingcui clan is in trouble.

Will the accumulation of hundreds and thousands of years of ancestors be destroyed in my hands?

Let me tell you, if the Boling Cui family is destroyed, none of you will be able to escape!
There are no finished eggs under the nest!
At this time tomorrow, you all bring me a copy of the charter! "

Not just the Cui family, the Wang family, the Zheng family, the Lu family...

Every household is basically noisy.

Exactly the same as the Boling Cui family.

Even the gentry in Jiangzuo were banging on the table and roaring.

This wave, random killing!

The conspiracy is fair and aboveboard, so you can't escape it.

The result of escaping is a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Such a conspiracy has caused headaches for all families and clans.

At this moment, Fang Qi didn't care about it at all. At this time, he had already returned to the construction site of the Princess Mansion.

The movable type for movable type printing is ready.

At this time, Fang Qi was naturally needed to verify these things.

In fact, there is no need to verify it. This is what is recorded on Tiangong Kaiwu. After many derivations, there will be no problems at all.

Fang Qi quickly pieced together these scattered characters, ready to start printing.

Although the paper of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the paper of later generations, there is still no shortage of paper from the Tang Dynasty, but the quality is poor and the price is a little expensive.

Although paper is expensive, books are even more expensive.

The reason is that although there is paper, things like copying books are too slow.

To copy a book, one must ask someone who can write to copy it.

People who can write are basically scholars. They have a proud personality. If you give less money, it is impossible for them to help, so the price will go up every time you come and go.

Fang Qi used movable type printing, and the books he produced were missing a big part of copying, only the money for paper and ink, plus some miscellaneous expenses, a book was only one-tenth of the original price at most.

If Fang Qi develops papermaking technology, the price will drop again and again.

The powerful family has monopolized knowledge for hundreds of years, accumulated incalculable wealth, and possessed absolute prestige.

The monument of merit is aimed at their wealth.

If the wealth is gone, they can earn more prestige, but if the prestige is gone, the family will be ruined.

Fang Qi believed that these people would definitely choose prestige.

After they donated the money and maintained their reputation.

If Fang Qi pushes this thing out again, they will find that the monopolized knowledge has also become a public thing.

After such a combination of punches, the mentality of the family members will definitely collapse.

Fang Qi looked at the movable type in his hand and sneered in his heart.

Of course, now Fang Qi naturally cannot announce this thing, this is the dowry gift he prepared.

Fang Qi just tried this thing out, and after finding that it was particularly useful, he asked these people to start making new movable type.

Of course, it is impossible to continue casting copper coins to do these things. After all, copper represents money in this era.

Fang Qi didn't have so much money to squander.

Only other materials can be used instead of copper movable type.

A few days later, Fang Qi didn't go to the homes of these aristocratic families to play the autumn wind, and the people of the aristocratic families had already sent over cartloads of money.

After a few days of discussion and wrangling, the people of these aristocratic families could only choose to compromise in the end.

The reputation is there, but the money is gone, and you can earn it again.

But the reputation is gone, and the family is ruined.

Fame is the foundation of these aristocratic families, and for them, fame is the foundation of their foothold.

Those who are famous are the aristocratic families and the powerful.

The Tang royal family did not dare to touch them without full confidence.

But if they lost their reputation, they would be fish on the chopping board at that time, ready to be slaughtered.

So only send money over.

And you can't give too little, if you give less, it won't be enough to see on the merit tablet, and if others compare it and feel that you gave less, then your reputation will be gone.

So they rushed to send money to Fang Qi one by one, not only money, but also various useful things for clearing the drainage system, and even servants at home were sent over.

Fang Qi was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of these people.

"Everyone, check the quantity and record it all. Don't miss it. When you use these things in the future, you need to reconcile the account. Any excess must be returned to each family!"

Fang Qi said to the few students who were pulled out from the Mingfu Department of the Imperial College to become young men: "Every stroke must be clear, and you must not be greedy for any penny."

Fang Qi yelled loudly, but he knew in his heart that all this was just his casual talk.

He must do a good job in the drainage system, and if he does it well, he will naturally use the cement he has just developed. The price of this thing is not as much as he says.

Pay back?

impossible!

How can I return the money I got?
Without accumulating original funds and not having enough cash reserves, how can I proceed to the next step?

Not only will he not pay back the money, but he also wants to continue to squeeze the surplus value of these people.
