The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Moreover, according to the news, a batch of "Luoyang Peony Pavilion" was shipped to Jiangnan for sale.

So, 100,000 copies are definitely not an imaginary number. This is not even the "Luoyang Peony Collection", which is also sold in large numbers in Chang'an.

In order to diametrically opposed the "Changan Xunbao" run by Cheng Saburo and the others, a "Changan Collection" was created.

But every time they print an issue, they can say that they are posting the book and selling it. So far, the stuff is still throwing money into it.

The number of prints has now been maintained at around 10,000 copies, with three issues in January, 30,000 copies per month, and the amount of money poured into it alone has more than 1,000 copies.

This is not a small sum, but in order to support the face, the family can only continue to support it.

However, the number of printed copies of the "Chang'an Xunbao" has increased several times compared to theirs.

"If this is the case, then Jinyang Bookstore must have mastered a printing technique that makes me unaware of it."

"Otherwise, how could it be so?"

As an elite of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Shi Lang Zheng clearly knows that a large family can hold the right to speak in the circle of scholars.

It is because they control book resources, and the reason why they seized the printing market as soon as possible after the emergence of printing.

What is it for? The purpose is to dominate the industry, and set a threshold for those unsophisticated scholars who thought they had the opportunity to have a channel to read.

These printed bookstores can print some common books at most, and the price is of course not low.

Moreover, they also invested a large number of people in the court and the world, and printed a large number of Buddhist and Taoist classics.

No matter how much you read those things, you have to use wool, and the imperial examinations do not take these things, which will only skew the three views of those who are literate to religion.

Those big books that are really useful for scholars, ha ha... sorry, they can't be printed.

In other words, the bookstores tacitly refused to put those books on the container because they had too many words and the printing process was too long and complicated.

This allows those incompetent children to learn knowledge only through various operations such as borrowing and copying.

However, a small part of these operations may be obtained by relying on face and friendship, but more are required to spend money.

Of course, you don’t need to spend any money, just go to these aristocratic families, rely on them, and let them provide you with a good study environment.

It doesn't matter whether you become their disciple or disciple, when you enter, one day you will be admitted to the imperial examination and become an official.

Then you will also be pulled into the factions of these great families, if you want to get rid of the control of the great families.

All kinds of notoriety and stigma, such as ingratitude, betrayal of the master, etc., will be poured on this person, and the final outcome may be even more bleak than failing the test.

That's why, as long as the princes who dominate the world, they will hate these aristocratic families.

This is why Yang Jian, a very far-sighted and wise Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, thought of such an approach as the imperial examination.

It is the hope to take the opportunity to provide those poor families to fight against the aristocratic families, but this process is extremely difficult, even now in the Great Tang.

Aristocratic families are still the main force of the imperial court, which is why Li Shimin will vigorously promote those old brothers who follow him.

He even wanted to compile "Clan History" to preach to the world that the Emperor Li Tang was just the first of the surnames in the world.

If it is Jinyang Bookstore, what kind of means is there to print books on a large scale in such a short period of time? This will inevitably have a huge impact on the power of the family's control of the official channels.

But the problem is that Jinyang Bookstore is the property of Princess Jinyang. It is impossible for your Majesty to not know that Jinyang Bookstore has a new printing method, such a big killer.

But why did your Majesty keep silent? This made Zheng Shilang worry about it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue.

In the end, a confidant was called, and after a careful reminder, he wrote another letter and handed it to him, asking him to rush back to Chang'an immediately.

Regardless of what your Majesty's purpose is, it is a means of printing hundreds of thousands of copies.

The Zheng family of Xingyang, who mastered a large number of printing industries in the Central Plains, had better get this kind of printing skills in their hands.

Outside the Golden Gate in the west of Chang'an City, a group of soldiers guarding the Golden Gate are standing in a shelter under the gate. An iron stove inside is burning vigorously.

Everyone relied on this iron stove to get warmth, and the thick winter clothes on his body were also baked warmly, which made people very comfortable.

An veteran who was so refreshingly roasted couldn't help but squinted his eyes, quite sighing and authentic.

"In the past few years, attending the city gate every winter was the biggest chore."

The robe on the side couldn't help but subconsciously screamed.

"Nonsense, isn't it hard work now?"

"Of course it's hard work, but at least, compared to the past, it's much more comfortable."

"In the past, when we guarded the city gates, the winter clothes we wore were compared with the white-folded winter clothes. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is nothing short of air leakage."

"And there are these gloves, these felt boots, which one is not more comfortable than before?"

"There is also this iron stove. I still feel hot from such a distance. The charcoal stove that used to be grilled is so cold that I can't wait for Te Niang to sit on the fire to enjoy it."

As soon as these words were spoken, a roar of laughter was immediately evoked. At this moment, several soldiers whose noses were red from the cold rushed over.

"You bastards, it's too late to change the guard, hurry over and let us get warm..."

After a riot, the few soldiers who had just grilled warmly could only reluctantly jump out of this safe shed and came to stand under the golden light gate.

Not far away, Shuqi was rushing towards this side, and after a short while, he had already come to the gate of the city.

And their costumes instantly let the soldiers understand where these people came from, either the Tubo barbarians or the Tubo pistol barbarians.

The headed young man in silk satin looked at the golden gate with wide-open eyes, and couldn't help expressing such emotion.

"This is the gate of Chang'an City. It is built so tall and majestic. How can it be nearly two feet high, right?"

On the side, a middle-aged man who was also luxuriously dressed approached the young man and pointed to the front with a pleased smile.

"Yes, the Grand Prince, this Chang'an city, but I have seen it, the most majestic and most spectacular city in the world."

The eldest son nodded with deep conviction, feeling authentic.

"Nima makes sense, this is really big..."
