Fear

Then Lu Yaoyao took Mrs. Luo to a small courtyard behind the manor.

This is a place she specially set up to stack papers and books, and the complete templates for movable letterpress are also here.

"Mrs. Luo, please."

Luo Shi bowed slightly and stepped into the room. Her pupils shrank violently at just one glance.

This is a warehouse with a large area and is divided into three areas. On the far right are the templates for vitreous printing.

The middle area is stacked with printed books. These were all made by Lu Yaoyao when he had nothing to do. Although the variety is not as good as that of aristocratic families, there are still quite a lot of them.

The stack on the far left is clean paper, stacked one on top of another. Each one is three feet long and two feet square. According to visual inspection, there are at least tens of thousands, or even one hundred thousand.

As a direct daughter-in-law of the Dong family, Luo Shi has seen many books and papers.

The Dong family owns many papermaking workshops and printing workshops.

But that has been accumulated by the Dong family for hundreds of years, but what?

As far as she knows so far, the Dong family's largest papermaking workshop has less paper than what is stored in Lu Yaoyao's warehouse.

You must know that the traditional papermaking process is very cumbersome. Not only is the output low, but the paper area is also small.

This is why books made of paper are precious.

Because the output is low, the price will increase. A book requires a lot of paper. Who can the children of ordinary people afford it?

And those from wealthy families cannot buy it even with money.

After all, there are many places that need paper, not to mention the imperial court, which can be regarded as the largest customer of paper consumption.

Next is the Imperial College and the academies in various places, and then there are the nobles and the aristocratic families themselves.

How can the original output support so much consumption?

Secondly, the quantity is small. Another problem is that almost all the original books are in the hands of major aristocratic families, including the royal family.

In order to monopolize scholars, major aristocratic families cannot release books and other materials at will.

As for the royal family, they want to release them, but how precious are those books? There is not enough paper for copying.

Furthermore, even if the royal family is willing to release it, the risks involved are not small. If something goes wrong and these mother copies are destroyed, how much loss will there be?

Therefore, even if there is no new printing technology, papermaking alone can have a big impact on aristocratic families.

"These papers."

"I had people make it. These are just the output of a small workshop for more than half a month."

After hearing this, Mrs. Luo's pupils shrank again.

A small workshop can produce this much paper in more than half a month. If this is a large workshop, or if many workshops are put into production together, how much paper must be produced in a month?

I simply can’t imagine how the family would be affected if these papers were exposed?

Here, it must be said that the connections between the major aristocratic families are very deep, and they are not just related by marriage.

They also have many cooperations in their respective businesses.

As far as the Dong family's paper and books are concerned, they naturally account for the majority, but other aristocratic families also have a more or less certain share.

Similarly, the Dong family will also have a certain share of the business of other aristocratic families.

The relationship between them is very close, and it is precisely because of this that the court and the royal family have nothing to do with families like them.

After all, no matter which family you attack, it will harm the interests of other people, and it will really affect your whole body.

If the royal family wants to clean up a single family, there is no pressure, but if they are all united, the royal family has to pay attention to it.

As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old family and a hundred-year dynasty are not just casual remarks.

Behind almost every dynasty change, there is the shadow of aristocratic families.

"Mrs. Luo, please come this way."

Lu Yaoyao took Luo Shi to the printing area on the right and demonstrated it to her personally.

At this moment, Luo Shi was completely stunned. She never thought that printing could be like this.

At the same time, I also understood how terrifying this thing is.

It can be said that once this thing is released, the family will almost dig up the roots of the family.

At this moment, a murderous intention emerged in her heart.

Yes, they all underestimated the power of papermaking and printing technology invented by Lu Yaoyao.

Originally, she just thought that what Lu Yaoyao made was not much different from what they originally had. Even if it would have some impact on them, the loss would be within an acceptable range.

But now that she has seen the real new changes, the first thought in her mind is to kill it. She cannot let such terrible things spread under any circumstances.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

The moment her eyes changed, Lu Yaoyao, who was standing in front of her, curled his lips slightly.

However, her faint smile woke up Luo Shi instantly, and a layer of cold sweat immediately ran down his back.

The sudden impact made her forget where she was at this moment.

"You, County Lord"

"No need to hide it, no need to explain it, I can understand it."

Lu Yaoyao directly interrupted her and continued, "The Dong family is a rare sober person, and Mrs. Luo is also a smart person."

Hearing this, Luo Shi's heart froze, and when he looked at Lu Yaoyao again, his eyes became very different.

To be honest, when she came to visit Lu Yaoyao this time, she felt more or less contemptuous of him.

He felt that he was just a young man with hair extensions. Even if he had some ability and was able to win the position of county leader, his ability was not enough in front of a long-established family like them.

But now, all the contempt in her heart has been restrained.

It can even be said that not only did he lose the slightest contempt, but he also developed a strong fear.

Yes, judging from the other party's current performance, she should be very aware of the horror of these two things, and also the threat that these two things would bring to the family if spread.

It's too late for others to hide, but what about her?

But he took the initiative to bring her over to see him. This confidence surprised Luo Shi.

I also really don’t understand where she came from to be so confident. Could it be that the aristocratic family really can’t scare her at all?

Facing such people, it would be foolish to look down upon them.

At this time, Roche no longer knew what to say.

She just wants to leave here as soon as possible, tell her husband what she saw and heard here, and let him analyze how to deal with it.

Thinking of this, she quickly bowed and said, "I admire the county master for his talent."

"I have received the answer to what I asked for today, so I will take my leave now."

"Don't worry, I still have something to talk to Mrs. Luo. Please bear with me and move to the front hall."

Hearing this, Luo Shi's heart sank. Did the other party not intend to let him go?

How dare she?

Although I feel depressed in my heart, it doesn't show at all on the surface.

"Then please, County Lord."
