At dusk, several pots of charcoal fire were lit in the Pepper House Hall, and several coffee tables were placed around the fire pots.
Several ministers, headed by the left prime minister, were summoned again and started a conversation around the fire.
Jiang Wan'er no longer had the anger she had in the morning, nor did she feel the unimaginable solemnity and depression caused by the snowstorm.
At this moment, she regained her previous indifference and became the one who no one could tell her true colors from and who had everything in control. This surprised several ministers.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Wan'er spoke softly.
"Because of this once-in-a-century heavy snow, the victims from Dingzhou and Yunzhou all flocked to the capital."
"I and all the ministers are extremely worried and anxious because of this."
"However, today I have received some extremely good news. After much thought, I decided to share it with you all."
"It will also make you all happy."
Jiang Wan'er said this and glanced at the maid Qing Xing beside her.
Qing Xing nodded immediately, then took out a small wooden box and placed it among the ministers.
Several ministers looked puzzled.
Jiang Wan'er said softly, "In the afternoon, the Director of Works sent me something."
"It can be said that this is a great invention that will influence future generations for thousands of years."
“It is immortal!”
Hearing what Jiang Wan'er said, the faces of several ministers changed and they hurriedly looked at the small wooden box that Qing Xing brought over.
Then Qing Xing opened the wooden box and gently took out the items inside one by one.
Then he started to operate in front of several ministers.
Halfway through reading, several ministers, led by the left prime minister, all showed incredible expressions, and even their breathing became extremely heavy.
None of these people are fools.
I realized almost instantly how incredibly huge the impact this seemingly insignificant thing would have.
Its power is unmatched by countless thunder bombs.
Moreover, they immediately realized why Jiang Wan'er summoned them to the Pepper Palace and revealed this item to them.
This is a threat!
This requires them to convince their respective families to do their best to provide relief to the victims.
Otherwise...
This small wooden box in front of you will completely turn into a highly toxic poison, killing all the wealthy families!
Zhao Wenxiang was also shocked.
But he is completely different from his colleagues here.
He is from a noble family, but not entirely.
He also had no good feelings towards the aristocratic families.
Even to the Zhao family.
The same is true.
So at this moment he did not have the fears and worries that the other ministers had.
Instead, I was wondering if this thing was really invented by the chief composer?
This paper...
Isn’t this the white linen paper that my little bastard just made?
Then, a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart.
This little bastard!
This is courting disaster!
The aristocratic families are extremely powerful. Although Your Majesty pretends to be the Chief of the Imperial Guard, can he really conceal the truth?
If you stand against the aristocratic families like this, you may die without knowing how you died!
A few days ago, I gave that little bastard many warnings and warnings, just because I didn't want to see a scene like this.
I just don't want him to stand against the aristocratic families.
Why won’t this bastard listen?
He was first angry, then furious, and finally turned into deep worry.
At this time, Jiang Wan'er said softly: "With this movable type printing, a large number of books will appear in the future, so that all the poor students in the world who want to study can also have books to read."
"I work hard, and the cultural heritage will flourish!"
The left prime minister, Lu Liuliang, slowly exhaled a breath and nodded quickly.
"Your Majesty is right. With this movable type printing technology, everyone in our country will be able to read in the future. This will truly promote the development of literature!"
"This invention truly deserves immortal praise!"
"It will have an unparalleled impact on future generations for thousands of years!"
Even the Left Prime Minister said so, and several other ministers also expressed their opinions, and were very excited.
At this moment, they are quite conflicted.
They are important officials in the court and also children of aristocratic families.
They knew what movable type printing meant, so they were happy about its appearance, but at the same time they felt fear and worry for the aristocratic families.
Jiang Wan'er glanced at their faces one by one.
"This movable type printing is indeed a great invention."
"Left Prime Minister, why don't you take this item and summon the heads of the various families to have a look at it."
"Their business is all over the world, and printing books is also a very good business!"
"Ask them if they are interested in printing more books, which would not only make money but also allow the books to spread around the world."
“The best of both worlds!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of several ministers changed again.
This is clearly a trap!
Taking a deep breath, the left prime minister nodded and said, "I obey your command. I will go back and meet with the heads of each family to ask them what they think about this matter!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded, and then said calmly: "Well, Zuo Xiang, you must make your words clear to the heads of the families."
"This is not an order, nor is it mandatory. Everything is entirely up to them voluntarily."
"You can't force me, understand?"
The left deputy quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes, I will remember this."
Jiang Wan'er smiled softly: "Okay, then you can go, and the other nobles can go with you!"
As he spoke, he waved to the crowd.
The Left Prime Minister, carrying the newly packed small wooden box, and several ministers, left the Pepper Palace with complicated expressions.
Coming out of the Pepper Room, Chief Clerk Pang Yuan whispered, "Prime Minister, the aristocratic family has been completely forced into a corner this time!"
The left prime minister sighed and said, "With this thing, the world will really change!"
Pang Yuan said anxiously: "Prime Minister, although we are your Majesty's ministers, we are also children of aristocratic families. You have to think of a way!"
The left prime minister smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "There is no other way. From today on, the noble families no longer have any capital to resist."
Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
The things in this small wooden box are like a death warrant to the wealthy and powerful families.
This time, if the noble families do not help the imperial court to provide relief to the victims, they will just have to wait to be killed with one sword.
The Left Prime Minister’s Residence, reception room.
The heads of more than a dozen large families were all invited by the prime minister's residence.
Ever since the snowstorm, victims from the two states have been rushing to the capital. This is not the first time that these families have sat here.
The court wants us to take action?
Bleeding from us?
It's so ridiculous!
No matter how many victims die, it has nothing to do with our family.
We're just here to watch the fun. Who can do anything to us?
