"I gathered you here to solve the problem, not just to keep silent."

"Now that the problem is here, you'd better express your opinions quickly."

"Your Highness will hear our voices tomorrow when you go to court."

"If you can't come up with an idea, we will all be in trouble tomorrow."

Upon hearing his words, all the families present did not dare to remain silent any longer.

"Don't His Highness just want to open a school?"

"Just let him do it. The materials for making paper have become more and more expensive recently. We have not raised the price. It is time to raise the price."

"Maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money."

"As for improving the military system, let him change it."

"It's not a disadvantage to us anyway, after all, it's not our money spent."

After some discussion among several aristocratic families present, they all felt that the prince was too smart and wise.

His memorial must be passed.

Even the head of the Zhuge family, who planned to side with the royal family, felt that this was a good opportunity to make money.

As for harvesting the country's wool, he doesn't feel guilty at all.

After all, the reason why these aristocratic families have their current status is basically all the profits they get from harvesting the country's wool.

Moreover, if the prince cannot even solve these most basic problems, then his school will definitely not be able to run.

Rather than giving others an advantage, it would be better for him to join in and get some.

The next morning, during the morning court, Qin Feng submitted a memorial.

I talked about the reform of the army and the establishment of schools in the army.

Qin Ye's heart was beating wildly and his brows were beating. He felt that if the prince proposed such a plan at this time, he would definitely be retaliated by many people.

After all, this touches the interests of many people, and no one from the aristocratic family is willing to let others take their place.

So he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Old minister seconded the proposal!"

Bai Chenfeng was the first to stand up and second his opinion.

"I second the proposal!"

The courtiers seconded the proposal one after another, and then all the civil and military officials agreed.

The whole hall was full of people kneeling in Hulala, and only the prince was left standing, which was very conspicuous.

But he was not panicked at all. Instead, he looked at the civil and military officials with great interest.

"Father, since no one objects, then let's let this matter be settled like this, right?"

Qin Feng seemed to be asking, but he was actually reminding Qin Ye that the opportunity was rare.

Qin Ye was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but when he saw that all the civil and military officials in the court agreed, he quickly asked them to get up and finalized the matter.

Originally, he thought that these aristocratic families were just showing up for the sake of the children of the clan who were captured by Qin Feng.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as this policy was issued, it began to be implemented at an alarming speed.

It was implemented so thoroughly that he really didn't know what to say for a moment.

He quickly called the prince to ask.

"Prince, what on earth is going on?"

"Why did they suddenly change their tune and adopt such a consistent policy of combat effectiveness? Did you do something to them?"

What Qin Ye fears most is that all his power will be taken away by the prince before he abdicates.

When the time comes that he, the emperor, has been ousted, how can he have the dignity to meet his ancestors again?

He felt that since he was the emperor, he had to check and balance everyone. Even his biological son, the only prince of the Daqian Kingdom, could not have more power than him.

But today, the civil and military officials have obviously already discussed it.

He immediately agreed to the prince's policy. He wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't been agreed upon in advance.

But it is impossible to say that the prince is close to those aristocratic families.

"Father, my sons and ministers just gave them a chance to meet the children of the clan."

"Of course it also gives them some opportunities to join the military."

"No matter how awesome they are all the time, when it comes to fundamental interests, they will also be moved."

Qin Feng's face was full of embarrassment. He was using conspiracy to tell the public about his purpose and tell those aristocratic families if they dared to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, they all fell into the trap.

"Oh, the reason why they agree is because whether it is paying soldiers in the army or letting them go to school, it is a very beneficial thing for them."

"Not to mention other money, just the paper, pens, inkstones and books prepared for the opening of the school are something Daqian cannot provide."

"And the methods for making these things are all in the hands of those aristocratic families."

"They just have to raise the price a little bit and we lose."

"Prince, you really take it for granted."

"They say that an iron-clad family is a dynasty that is running smoothly. This matter is very unfavorable to us."

Qin Ye's face was full of anxiety. He was afraid that the prince and the aristocratic families would join forces to deal with him as the emperor, and at the same time he was afraid that the prince would be tricked by those aristocratic families.

Qin Feng did not explain too much, but took out a book from his arms and a pile of paper and handed it to Qin Ye.

"What's this?"

Qin Ye frowned and did not answer.

"Father, this is the printing method we have recently developed, as well as papermaking technology."

"Don't you want to take a look?"

Qin Ye's eyes widened as soon as he heard what he said, and he looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.

Then, with lightning speed, he took the book from his hand.

After taking a closer look, his brows did not relax, but instead furrowed deeper. He looked up and asked Qin Feng.

"How much do these things cost?"

"If the cost is too high, we still won't be able to provide it to the soldiers in the army."

Qin Ye smiled bitterly in his heart. The quality of the paper was very good, and the printed books were also very clear.

He subconsciously felt that it would take a huge amount of manpower and material resources to create these two things.

"Father, things used to make paper are very common, and they are not expensive things."

"The cost of such a piece of paper is probably less than a penny. The printing of books is more expensive, costing more than a dozen copies." Qin Feng said slowly, "These costs may continue to decrease in the future. "

He continued to explain his point of view, full of confidence in the craftsmen.

"After all, as production increases, prices will fall."

Before Qin Feng finished speaking, Qin Ye jumped up like a frightened rabbit. His eyes were fixed on Qin Feng, as if he was trying to read the answer on his face.

He stared at Qin Feng and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Well, I just said a lot..."
