What was ecstatic was that Wang Heng had personally seen the papermaking and printing techniques brought out by the Governor.
Their Wang family still has thousands of books.
Well, this was all because the Wang family saw that the books were beautiful and cheap, so the Wang family bought thousands of them in one go.
But soon they discovered that this kind of exquisite book was not sold by mistake, but that the price was really that cheap.
Then, the thousands of books they purchased fell into their own hands.
After that, other types of books with high quality and good prices sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The introduction of such cheap books was a fatal blow to the current book market in Datang, causing shocks in the entire book market.
The book market used to be controlled by the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
If someone else had mastered this technique and dared to use it to trick Wu Qiwang into a corner, they would probably be swallowed up by Wu Qiwang without any bones left.
But unfortunately, this kind of papermaking and printing technology was in the hands of Changsun Wuji and the emperor.
This left the five surnames and Qiwang, all of whom had no good solution to this problem.
Of course, Qiwang, the fifth surname, also tried his best to suppress Changsun Wuji.
This made Changsun Wuji extremely annoyed, and he hated Shu King Li Min even more!
After the book market suffered an impact, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes innovated technology one after another.
In their opinion, since it is a technology that Changsun Wuji or the King of Shu can master, they can also research it.
For example, isn’t the technology of pressing soybean oil a good example?
However, the results of the research made the five surnames and Qiwang these aristocratic families extremely disappointed.
Facts have proved that some technical gaps cannot be quickly discovered if they want to.
Due to the delay in developing more advanced papermaking and printing technologies, the papermaking and printing factories of Wu and Qiwang have almost ceased production.
If they can't find a way, then I'm afraid they will have no choice but to completely withdraw from the entire book market.
Among them, only Li Shimin is the real winner who doesn't have to do anything and just make a fortune quietly.
It turned out that after Li Min arrived in Shu, Li Min gave all his papermaking and printing skills, as well as his shares, to Concubine Yang.
As for Concubine Yang, she actually didn't need so much money in the deep palace.
Therefore, these technologies and shares naturally fell into Li Shimin's hands.
Of course, Li Shimin used his concubine's money. Among the people, such a man is called a freeloader.
Li Shimin probably never thought that one day, he would become the soft rice emperor.
At present, at least a few hundred dollars are deposited into Li Shimin's small treasury every month.
This made Li Shimin, who was used to being poor, feel more and more like a nouveau riche.
It feels great to have a lot of money coming in every month.
Of course, all of this was actually brought about by his beloved concubine Yang Fei.
Therefore, Li Shimin treated Concubine Yang particularly well.
At least ten days a month he lived with Concubine Yang.
This situation made other concubines, even the queen, envious and jealous of Concubine Yang.
But who told them not to have such a good son?
At the same time, because Li Min had no intention of competing for the throne, Empress Changsun, instead of being jealous of Concubine Yang, actually became very close to Concubine Yang.
And this is the real reason why Li Min gave his technology and shares to Concubine Yang.
…
Well, if the Wang family can master this papermaking and printing technology, then the Yizhou Wang family will reach a higher level!
This is why Wang Heng was so excited when he heard that the governor was going to hand over the papermaking and printing technology to their Wang family.
However, as the head of a large family, Wang Heng must not be stupid.
He soon realized that although the papermaking and printing technologies were good, they were actually a hot potato.
Taking over the art of papermaking and printing is tantamount to going to the opposite of the five surnames and seven hopes.
It is equivalent to being completely pulled into the King of Shu's warship. From now on, we can only advance and retreat together with the King of Shu.
As long as the Wang family reaches out, there will be no way out.
However, the Five Surnames and Qiwang are huge creatures.
Can the King of Shu really defeat them?
For a moment, Wang Heng could not help but fall into a fierce struggle.
Li Min, on the other hand, was concentrating on writing something and did not rush Wang Heng.
After a long time, Wang Heng finally made a decision.
"The common people would like to thank the Governor for making it possible. From now on, the Wang family will only look after the Governor."
Hearing Wang Heng's words, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, Master Wang, don't worry, this Governor is by no means a forgetful person. Following this Governor will ensure that your Wang family will prosper."
Wang Heng said respectfully: "Yes! Grand Governor, our Wang family still has some available manpower, who can assist the Grand Governor to quickly stabilize the situation in Yizhou."
Li Min nodded, and then said to Wang Heng: "Okay, then you ask them to report to the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible."
Wang Heng couldn't help but said: "Yes, Grand Governor, the common people will take care of it now, and the common people will retire first."
After Wang Heng left, Li Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After having the Wang family, they could finally control the entire Yizhou quickly.
As for what happens after the Wang family grows bigger, it's actually not difficult to solve.
Of course, this is all for later, so there is no need to rush now.
…
In the evening, Xi Junmai led 500 soldiers who rushed to the mansion and returned in triumph.
On the waist of every Zhechong Mansion soldier, there are several heads of barbarians hanging.
The shirts of every Zhechong Mansion soldier were stained red with blood.
These 500 Chongfu soldiers drove more than a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled barbarians who were in dire straits, and escorted cartloads of finances, straight to Yizhou City.
When the people along the way saw this scene, they were all in awe and fear.
The brutal and bloody scene between Xi Junmai and Zhe Chongfu soldiers made the people in Yizhou City feel in awe.
Let those children dare not go out.
From now on, if Xi Jun buys three words, he can stop children from crying at night in Yizhou.
After entering Yizhou City, Xi Junmai went to the Governor's Mansion in person to report the battle situation to Li Min.
Zhe Chong Mansion's five hundred cavalrymen killed a total of 2,376 people and captured 1,637 people.
Collect some barbarian property and place it outside for now.
Well, these barbarians are actually poor people. They don't have much wealth.
Li Min, on the other hand, ordered everyone to record all those who had military merit.
At the same time, Li Min directly rewarded all the gains from Xi Jun's purchase to Zhe Chong Mansion.
Xi Junmai was greatly impressed by Li Min's actions.
…
In the evening, when he returned to the house, Li Min just entered the study and suddenly felt something strange.
Three points of cold light suddenly shot out from the darkness, targeting Li Min's face.
