Chapter 406 Escort
Under Lin Chuyi's deliberate guidance, the various professional books she wrote in her early years began to appear in front of the world on a large scale and were used in the real world.
For a long time afterwards, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, industry... all walks of life in the three states ushered in a period of rapid development.
Lin Chuyi did not block any information from the Three States, so the huge changes in the Three States quickly attracted the attention of officials from surrounding states.
They knew that those books were good things, but considering the special status of Her Royal Highness the Princess, they did not dare to get too close to Her Royal Highness the Princess for fear of arousing suspicion from officials in the capital, but they did not want to give up the great opportunity to improve their own political achievements.
After thinking it over again and again, they all chose to write a letter to Her Royal Highness the Princess, asking if she was willing to sell them those books that were beneficial to the development of people's livelihood, so that the people in their jurisdiction could also learn knowledge from them, simplify things, improve work efficiency, increase labor gains, and improve their respective lives.
When Lin Chuyi received the letters sent by the officials' confidants, he knew the time was ripe.
She did not deliberately keep those officials in suspense. After receiving the letters, she immediately wrote back to the officials who wrote to her.
In the letter, she first affirmed their original intention of doing this, praised their virtues of loyalty to the emperor and love for the people, and then expressed her willingness to donate the first batch of books to them free of charge, hoping that they would make good use of these books to benefit the people.
Finally, Lin Chuyi said at the end of the letter that Wanjuanshu would be arriving in their state capital soon, and hoped that they could take good care of it then.
In this way, no matter whether these officials asked for the books for the sake of the people or wanted to take advantage of the issue to seek personal gain, they could only follow Lin Chuyi's instructions and honestly make the contents of the books public.
At the same time, it also paved the way for Wan Juanshu to develop in other state capitals. This was the first and only time that Lin Chuyi paved the way for his own industry in the name of the eldest princess.
This move was very effective. Wanjuanshu moved into the surrounding state cities in a high-profile manner and successfully continued to do its old business - publishing a weekly newspaper - on other people's turf.
No matter how reluctant the local officials were, they did not dare to make any changes to the matter of the ten thousand volumes of books, let alone use their power to pressure others.
Fortunately, those books are really meaningful and have boosted the local people's livelihood and economy. These are real political achievements for the incumbent officials and will be of great help in their future assessments and promotions.
With these practical benefits, their resistance to thousands of books and weekly newspapers gradually faded.
Since we can't get rid of the other party anyway, just let it be. As long as we don't make any mistakes and get caught, no matter what it reports, it will not affect their actual interests.
In this way, Wanjuanshu gradually established a foothold in several surrounding state capitals. After that, Lin Chuyi made another big move.
In the name of the eldest princess, she submitted a memorial to the emperor, stating that the man who created Wanjuanshu had invented a new printing tool that could print books quickly, with neat, clear fonts, and no blurring of the pages. There was also a new papermaking process that was not only simple to operate, but also produced white, delicate paper with uniform thickness and high yield.
The most important thing is that the cost of these two skills is not high, which means they are suitable for national promotion. Ask the emperor if he wants them.
The emperor had earlier instructed his officials that if there was any letter from the eldest princess, it must be presented to him as soon as possible. Therefore, after confirming that the memorial from the eldest princess had not been tampered with, it was only passed through the cabinet before being presented to the emperor.
After receiving the memorial, the emperor read it immediately. He was the person who knew the eldest princess's "true identity" best. He knew that the words in her memorial were only written for outsiders to read, and this must be another way for her to make money for him.
From this we can see that he did a good job as an emperor, otherwise his goddess of wealth would not have given him such good things afterwards.
The emperor was so happy. The princess even asked him at the end of the memorial if he wanted it. Of course he wanted it, and he wished he could get these two skills right away.
Although the emperor was anxious, he was not an impulsive person. He read the memorial again from beginning to end. This time, he focused on the three words "ten thousand volumes of books".
Since the Goddess of Wealth mentioned these two skills in the memorial, she was naturally prepared to give the things to him, but she mentioned the "Ten Thousand Volumes of Books" in the memorial, which shows that she wanted to attribute the credit to the Ten Thousand Volumes of Books. However, the emperor did not know much about the Ten Thousand Volumes of Books, and was not sure what the eldest princess's intention was in doing so.
The emperor closed the memorial and pondered for a while, then asked his Golden Dragon Guards to fetch the relevant information about the ten thousand volumes of books.
The Golden Dragon Guard is the emperor's secret guard organization and also the emperor's most trusted intelligence organization.
The people with the highest martial arts skills in the Golden Dragon Guards guard the emperor all year round to protect his safety. The others are always on standby to be deployed, waiting for the emperor's orders and collecting any information the emperor wants to know.
The Golden Dragon Guard had its own news channels and information database, and was able to quickly retrieve relevant information from the Ten Thousand Volumes Book.
After reading the information, the emperor couldn't help but applaud. This goddess of wealth was really a genius who would make a big splash if she did make a move. She had quietly created such a big surprise for him.
In the emperor's view, the appearance of ten thousand books was just a trick played by the Goddess of Wealth on the world. She wanted to seek welfare for the people, but did not want to steal the limelight from him as the emperor, so she came up with this idea.
He took over ten thousand volumes of books, and in the name of ten thousand volumes of books, he presented the advanced knowledge he had learned from other places in the form of books and displayed it to the world.
Allow the people to learn the contents, create better living conditions for themselves, change the country's economic environment, and people will not associate things with her as the "eldest princess".
In addition, another function of Wanjuanshu cannot be ignored, that is, the increasing number of state and county weekly newspapers.
The existence of the weekly report means that ordinary people have an additional way to obtain external information, and it is also equivalent to installing a pair of supervisory eyes on local officials.
Millions of people are watching them as they do their work. Even if they want to abuse their power for personal gain, they have to consider whether they can afford the consequences once the truth is exposed.
If thousands of books were given official covers and distributed throughout the country, wouldn't that be equivalent to the court having an additional large-scale intelligence organization? As the emperor, he could directly understand the personal conduct and life style of local officials, and no longer have to rely on others, giving his own officials the opportunity to fool him.
