In the Imperial Academy, there were more than 400,000 books in paper and printed versions, which soon spread out, and an uproar in Luoyang City instantly caused.

Everyone is talking about this in teahouses and restaurants in the city, in the streets and alleys.

"I heard that the paper used in those books has a soft texture and is extremely smooth, which is a great treasure."

"Isn't that true? My cousin's second uncle's cousin is working as a choreographer in the Imperial Academy. He had the honor to see Dean Lu read books in a pavilion outside the library. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"For the sake of this Imperial Academy, Your Majesty is really willing to do so. The wealthy families who work as handymen often hear them complain about the court's rude and arrogant people. In the future, when I hear them say this, I will smash their dog heads with a hoe used to weed."

"Your Majesty is not only good to us ordinary people, but also open-minded people, encourages business, treats craftsmen and merchants equally, and gives everyone the opportunity to study. It is truly a god who descends to earth and protects the ancestors of the Han Dynasty."

"I can be born under such a wise king. It's really a smoke from the ancestral grave. Otherwise, my puppy who knew how to play with live mud all day long would have the opportunity to read and read? Hey, yesterday he held a few crooked words, saying that it was the name of our family of four, and said that the teacher taught that you should learn loyalty and filial piety first, and be kind to your parents at home. Hey... that scene..."

"Haha, Lao Zhang, why are you crying?"

"What's crying? I'm...I'm Sand's eyes are fascinated."

"But don't say that my boy is eleven years old. He will never know the third word except his own name. He can recite the "Three Character Classic" in just a few days after entering school. Even the teacher praised him for his intelligence, saying that he will definitely have a future. Maybe he can become a county magistrate in the future. My old Niu family is a grand family, so I will be so angry when I think about it."

"Hahaha, you cow is also a terrible breed, so you want to be a county magistrate? I hope that my boy can succeed in the military academy and become a general in the future."

"I'm different from you. My wife was having trouble giving birth at the beginning. Thanks to the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, the mother and son are safe. I asked my child to study medicine well. In the future, if you can have a miracle doctor's cost, healing diseases and saving people, and supporting the family, you can also comfort your ancestors."

"All meetings are you. Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the people's studies. He spent such a huge effort than ever before. If we don't let the children in our family study hard and serve the court, are they still human beings?"

"It's a pity that my two children are not good at it. One of them failed the exam this time and the other is even more timid. Before taking the exam, he was so scared that he had diarrhea and missed the exam. Hey, damn it, I'm so angry."

"Hahaha... you two kids have the same virtue as you..."

Unlike the people's praise, most of the heads and ministers in the residences of the major gentry showed bitter expressions.

Many ministers gathered at Wang Yun's mansion again.

"Wang Situ, the tens of thousands of scholars who were gathered in Luoyang and were preparing to attack the Imperial Academy, are now either enrolling in the Imperial Academy or trying to find ways to enter the Imperial Academy. Many of my nephews in my family have almost cut through the threshold of our mansion in order to ask me to ask Mr. Lu for a love affair."

"Yes, I never expected that His Majesty would have so many paper books, but there was no news before."

"Now the great Han scholar's heart will be taken away by the court at least 70% to 80%. We are afraid that we will not be able to compete with the court again."

"You have to make an idea, otherwise after three or five years, our aristocratic families will have no place to live in the future."

Listening to their verbal talk, Wang Yun also became a little impatient.

"Stop arguing, I'm so annoyed."

Everyone became quiet in an instant when he yelled.

Wang Yun sighed heavily, and everyone saw that he had not spoken, but they did not dare to disturb him.

It took him a long time to speak, "It seems that His Majesty has been prepared for us."

After he said this, several of the ministers immediately understood.

"Yes, even Huangfu Han, the younger generation, could have learned about the paper-printed books early. How could Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Cui Lie and others not know? But they only hide it from us. The profound meaning of this is really interesting."

"Situ means... is Your Majesty no longer trusts us?" Some ministers showed horror.

Wang Yun looked at these people with some disgust: "What are you afraid of? Even if Your Majesty is suspicious of me for a while, so what? Fame, status, and power all need to be fought for by themselves."

The ministers nodded, but then someone asked: "But now that Your Majesty is full of people's hearts, even in our family, there are many children and guests. They praise Your Majesty and this Imperial Academy day and night, and are full of yearning for you, let alone the people outside?"

"Yes, in the court today, Your Majesty holds all the power in his own hands, and at the same time relies on Xun Yu, Qian Li and others to govern state affairs. Among all the states and counties, His Majesty's confidants serve as local chiefs. What else can we fight with Your Majesty?"

Wang Yun stroked his beard, looked into the distance with his eyes, and said slowly: "This paper book is a good thing. If it can be controlled by us..."

The ministers' eyes lit up: "Yes, those many scholars changed their attitudes overnight, and became respectful and close to the court, just for these paper books. As long as we hold the books in our hands, we can naturally regain the hearts of scholars."

However, everyone knows that this matter is easy to say, but difficult to do.

A minister said: "This paper is a rare masterpiece in the world. Your Majesty can make such a large number of pieces, and it is also very exquisite in printing. Both are called the art of conserving the country. How could Your Majesty easily entrust with others?"

Wang Yun smiled slightly: "You also know that this kind of production technique is extremely exquisite. To produce these more than 400,000 books, it is very expensive, so there is no need to say much. Your Majesty has organized troops and cultivated martial arts, recruited new recruits, allocated huge funds to build city defense passes, and the national treasury has long been empty."

"This time, in order to reopen the Imperial College, this huge building complex alone cost the imperial court nearly one billion yuan, more than one million stones of grain, and printed many books. Your Majesty is afraid that the Empress's inner palace will be hollowed out. Later, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou will all use troops. I heard that Tong Jian will build three more dams this year, so how can the imperial court maintain it?"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately became interested and came forward: "Situ's intention is to use money and food to buy the art of publishing books while His Majesty is short of money?"

Wang Yun smiled, then shook his head: "If we can get the art of printing, or even the exclusive papermaking and printing rights, it is of course the best. However, who is today? I don't expect that he will agree. As long as we can buy a large number of paper from His Majesty, or even books that have been printed in the bookmark, we can not only win the hearts of scholars again, but also take the opportunity to make a fortune. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"But, with such a treasure in hand, will Your Majesty open a bookstore for sale? After all, Your Majesty is the biggest boss behind the scenes."

A minister's question caused everyone to fall into deep thought.

Wang Yun was calm and said, "I definitely don't know. Although this paper book is extremely popular, if you want to sell hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, you should have to make several months of achievements as soon as possible. I heard that over the past year, not only the court has been preparing for war, but Liu Yan, Cao Cao of Yizhou, and Cao Guruyoshi in Yudong have never been slackened, because I am afraid that the war will begin in the near future. The court is about to use money, and Your Majesty has no choice at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and the ministers looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.
