    ps: Fenggu is very sorry for the interruption. I can only say that there are too many surprises in life; starting from tomorrow, we will update twice a day until next Sunday.  In the east city of Chang'an City, in front of a newly opened shop, there is a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going; inside the shop, several new types of paper are listed, with high quality and low price, attracting people to snap up.  Not far from here, there is a restaurant named Yunxi Tower. In the top-level box in the building, there are seven middle-aged men sitting. These seven people are the heads of the five surnames and seven families in Chang'an City.  The Five Surnames and Seven Families were famous gentry clans in the early Tang Dynasty and enjoyed high status and status in society. These Five Surnames and Seven Families refer to the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, and the Fan Yang family.  The Lu family, the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Wang family in Taiyuan.  "You must have seen the new paper now sold in the Cheng family store. It is of high quality, low price and has a wide variety. If it is allowed to develop, it will be absolutely harmful and unprofitable for the seven of us." The speaker was Cui Hong, Cui family of Qinghe.  .  After Cui Hong finished speaking, Cui Haoming of the Boling Cui family echoed: "This is the first day that the Cheng family's store has been opened. The paper sales in it have already reached the sales of our family in half a month. This is just a store. If the Cheng family's store is opened in the future,  If we plan to open stores throughout Datang, it will definitely be a blow to the paper sales of each company, and most importantly, the reputation and status of the seven companies will also be affected."  Although Cui Haoming did not explain it, those present here clearly understand that one of the big reasons why the Five Surnames and Seven Families have such a lofty identity and status is because of culture; the Five Surnames and Seven Families have mastered culture, so students all over the world refer to them as Five Surnames and Seven Families.  As a leader; and paper is the carrier of culture and an indispensable thing for literati. As paper becomes cheaper, the price of books will also drop, and the control of culture by the Five Surnames and Seven Families will also weaken, and their prestige will weaken.  and status will be reduced accordingly.  Everyone present understands, but understanding is one thing, and what to do is another.  This new type of paper is in Cheng Yaojin's hands. There is really nothing they can do about such an old man.  Seeing a moment of silence on the court, Cui Hong and Cui Haoming looked at each other. Cui Hong said, "We already know the origin of the new paper."  Seeing the presence of the other five old gods, Cui Hong secretly cursed the old fox and continued: "Some time ago, there was a lot of rumors about the gods in Qingzhu Village, and the Cheng family's new paper manufacturing method is related to that."  .  Seeing Cui Hong stop again, Longxi Li Shi Li Yi said impatiently: "Cui Hong, if you have anything to say, just say it."  Cui Hong was not annoyed and said with a smile: "In that case, I will tell you straight. My proposal is that our seven families send people to negotiate with the so-called gods in Qingzhu Village and get the paper manufacturing method. If  If he agrees, then let it go; if he doesn't agree, then give him some trouble until he agrees."  "Oh~, it's a good idea to snatch food from that old man's mouth." Li Wei was very dissatisfied with Cui Hong's proposal. Will old Cheng Yaojin spit out the benefits? It would be very unwise to provoke him;  Besides, trouble with the gods of Qingzhu Village is not so easy to find.  Listening to Li Wei's somewhat disdainful tone, Cui Hong felt dissatisfied and said: "Although Cheng Yaojin and other new rich people have power in their hands, they are all proud to marry women from my five surnames and seven families. If they really can't get it then,  When he discovered the new method of making paper, he married his descendants in exchange for benefits from Cheng Yaojin."  When Cui Hong said this, the others all nodded; in that era, the children of the five surnames and seven families were sometimes more noble than the princesses, and some ministers were indeed proud to marry women from the five surnames and seven families.  Zheng Xuanhong of the Zheng family in Xingyang said: "Then send someone to contact him first, and then we can decide the next step after we get the results."  In the visitor's small world of Fenggu in Qingzhu Village, Shang Qingyi was copying the method of making glass. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. In an instant, he left the small world and appeared in the statue. At the same time, a group of merits came from the nine heavens.  Quickly melted into his body.  ¡®Hmm~, it has been solidified to 40%, and by the time movable type printing starts to be used, it should be 50% solidified¡¯.  This speed is already very fast, but Shang Qingyi is a little impatient in his heart, thinking of quickly solidifying his body and getting rid of the life of this god.  ¡®I don¡¯t know if making glass can gain merit?  ¡¯ ¡°Cotton, farm tools, papermaking, and printing, these four have played a huge role in the development of humanity. However, the manufacturing of glass can only be regarded as a rarity today and cannot be widely used in later generations. Therefore, it is still unclear whether it can gain merit.  ¡°Originally, I thought that after the glass was manufactured, I would use the profits brought by the glass to develop cement roads. Now it seems that we should do both at the same time. The first thing to prepare is the labor force for road construction.¡±  Shang Qingyi was just about to go back to the small world to continue copying information. Li Shimin and four others came in. Shang Qingyi stepped out of the statue and stopped.In front of several people.  Li Shimin cupped his hands and said, "Shangxian, we have come to say goodbye."  Shang Qingyi nodded and said to Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, go back to Chang'an and call your father. I have a business that I want to discuss with him."  Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this: Could it be that the Immortal has something good to offer?  Li Shimin wanted to ask Shang Qingyi what happened, but Shang Qingyi didn't take the initiative to tell him, which meant that it had nothing to do with him. He couldn't take the initiative to ask, but he was a little jealous in his heart. The business Shang Qingyi mentioned was definitely hugely profitable.  For example, paper; the four of them had just looked at it at the paper factory. No matter the exquisiteness or type of paper, it was not as beautiful as the paper they have now. He could completely imagine Cheng Yaojin losing money and getting cramps in his feet.  'Well~, we can have a good chat with Yaojin after we go back and get some profits from him.' After he made up his mind, Li Shimin gave another gift and left with his eldest grandson Wugou and Fang Du. Cheng Chumo turned around and followed.  .  Back in the small world, Shang Qingyi went directly to the Taoist floor of the Sutra Pavilion. As soon as Xiao Wanrong saw Shang Qingyi arriving, she took out a book and handed it to him.  "Master, this has been revised according to your request, see if it fits?" Shang Qingyi took a look at the title of the book, which was Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. When he opened the first page, he saw, "Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao."  Famous, very famous.  Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Named, the mother of all things.  Therefore, if there is always nothing, I would like to observe its wonderfulness; if there is always something, I would like to observe its beauty.  These two have the same origin but different names, and they are both called xuan.  Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries¡¯.  Shang Qingyi nodded secretly, but what surprised him was that the second half of the first page actually contained his understanding of this passage.  Xiao Wanrong said: "Daozhang Yuan and Daozhang Zhang felt that adding annotations would make it easier for beginners to learn, so they wrote down their understanding and experience below."  ¡°Not bad¡± Although this will waste more time, Shang Qingyi thinks it is good. Just like when he learned classical Chinese in his previous life, there was a translation, which made it easier for people to learn and understand.  "Wanrong, you go out first and send the Tao Te Ching to the printing shop, and let the craftsmen improve and perfect the movable type printing while printing. As long as they can improve and perfect it, I will reward them with silver according to their merit."  "I wonder how many copies the young master wants to print?" "A thousand copies." After sending Xiao Wanrong away, Shang Qingyi suddenly heard a quarrel, but it was Yuan Shoucheng and Zhang Guolao quarreling over the understanding of a passage; he did not understand these profound things.  , it was not easy to ask, so he smiled nonchalantly and returned to the library, continuing to extract information on glass manufacturing and cement manufacturing.
