Chapter 322

In Gu Yong's view!

Ten thousand sheets of such paper were already terrifying enough!

This sheet of paper was densely packed with over three hundred characters!

A book nowadays didn't necessarily need ten sheets of paper!

Ten thousand sheets would be one thousand books!

"Ten thousand sheets of paper, why would my lord need to call us over!"

Mi Zhu to the side glanced at Gu Yong, feeling a bit disdainful internally!

And he calls himself a noble family member!

He had no insight at all!

"My lord, you wouldn't happen to have one hundred thousand sheets of such white paper, would you?"

One hundred thousand sheets would be over ten thousand paper books!

If books with fewer characters were printed on both sides, it could even be over thirty thousand paper books!

Even the great Confucian Cai Yong's collection didn't have that many!

"Keep guessing!"

Seeing his group of top-tier strategists stumped, Lin Yang found it a bit amusing!

"One million sheets?"

Zhou Yu voiced his own guess at this moment!

Lin Yang had said before that he wanted to strike at the noble families!

To strike at the noble families, two steps were needed!

The first step was to cut off the noble families' advantage in grain and supplies!

Lin Yang had already achieved that!

The second step was to cut off the noble families' path to learning!

The number of books required for this couldn't be achieved with one hundred or one thousand!

It would require at least hundreds of thousands of books!

And once one million sheets of such paper were all printed, the number of books Lin Yang possessed would exceed two hundred thousand!

With two hundred thousand books, one couldn't imagine how many scholars from humble backgrounds Lin Yang could create!

Guo Jia to the side nodded in agreement with Zhou Yu's guess!

In his view!

That was the number of sheets Lin Yang possessed!

"In that case, I'll guess ten million sheets!"

Among the group, Cheng Yu was the last to speak, and his words stunned everyone present!

Two hundred thousand books, in Cheng Yu's view, were too few!

At least!

It wouldn't be worth Lin Yang doing all this!

Two million books, however, Cheng Yu felt was about right!

"Zhongde, how is that possible? How could my lord have so much paper!"

Guo Jia shook his head and touched the paper in his hand again!

With the quality of this paper, how could so much be produced!

"Haha, Fengxiao is right; it is indeed not ten million sheets!"

Lin Yang laughed; this group of people had never experienced the beauty of modern society!

It was just A4 paper!

This stuff was everywhere in modern society!

If you threw it on the street, no one would even pick it up!

"I said so, my lord, then..."

"It's not ten million, it's five hundred million sheets of such paper!"

Before Guo Jia could be smug for long, Lin Yang's next words struck like a thunderbolt!

Lin Yang had originally exchanged for one million boxes of A4 paper!

One box of A4 paper contained five hundred sheets!

One million boxes was exactly five hundred million sheets!

For a moment, the breathing of everyone in the room became rapid!

How many?

Five hundred million sheets of such paper?

Did my lord say that correctly?

Staring at Lin Yang with dull gazes, the five people present seemed to have suffered a huge shock!

Five hundred million sheets of paper, all printed into books!

Even if ten sheets of paper made one book!

That would be fifty million books!

The population of the Great Han was only fifty million!

Did my lord want everyone to have a paper book in their hands?

Hiss!

Heavens, if everyone really had a book in their hands, they knew exactly what that meant!

Especially Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Zhou Yu; they knew Lin Yang was going to move against the noble families!

Once he had fifty million books, Lin Yang would definitely promote the path of education!

By then!

Whether noble families or humble scholars, everyone would have books to read!

Once that situation was realized, the noble families' path to becoming officials would be completely blocked!

No!

It wasn't just blocked!

It was cut off entirely!

Once books spread, even if the dynasty Lin Yang created fell!

The noble families would never be able to restore that path!

For a moment, Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu looked at the thin sheet of paper in their hands, and their hands trembled slightly!

This was no longer just paper!

This was clearly a sharp sword!

A sharp sword to cut down the noble families!

No wonder Lin Yang was confident before that he could contend with the noble families of the world!

With these books!

Lin Yang had truly achieved it!

Seeing everyone's rapid breathing, Lin Yang smiled; they couldn't handle this yet?

He hadn't even brought everything out!

"Come, look at this book!"

"This is the person who holds the sword of books!"
