Chapter 271 Wonderful!
"How much do you plan to sell this pencil for?" Li Shilong asked.
"It's cheap, just two Daqian Tongbao, you can't make much money!" Qin Mo said with a smile! Two Daqian Tongbao?
This is too cheap.
It's amazing to be able to use ten of them a month. The most important thing is that it's cheap and ordinary people can afford it.
People from various aristocratic families are all anxious now.
A large piece of paper costs 150 Daqian Tongbao, so if you save some money, you can use it for a month.
One pencil costs two Daqian Tongbao, so even if there are fifteen pencils in a month, it is as high as the sky, and that is only thirty Daqian Tongbao.
If an ordinary family's monthly income is one tael of silver, it is not difficult to support a scholar.
Even Li Shilong was a little surprised, "Don't you lose money?"
"No loss, small profit!" Qin Mo said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Qin Mo, some were gnashing their teeth with hatred, and some were eyes shining.
Li Zhi's eyes were even more profound. With this piece of paper and this piece of paper, wouldn't this be the opportunity for great cultural development? He must have a hand in such a good thing! Is there still room for profit from the two Da Qian Tong Bao?
Li Shilong was indescribably satisfied.
"it is good!"
He walked to another carriage and took out several university books from it. He found that the handwriting was the same size and the layout was the same.
"This book was engraving and printed?"
"Father, this is movable type printing!" Li Yue said with a smile.
"How many days did it take to print so many books?"
"There are probably more than 6000 copies here, and it only takes less than seven days. The main reason is that the workers are not skilled at the beginning. When we expand the scale and become proficient, it will not be a problem for one person to print two to three hundred copies a day.
For example, in college, there are only more than 2000 words in total, and the total is less than [-] courses. It is very easy! "
If one person prints two or three hundred copies a day, ten people will print two to three thousand copies, and 100 people will print two or three hundred thousand copies! They feel like they don’t have enough brains.
If this continues, won't everyone have books to read and everyone can afford to read in a short time? When the time comes, when humble families rise, will aristocratic families still have the status in the world?
"Haha, okay, great!" Li Shilong felt indescribably happy. He kept scanning them with the corner of his eyes and found that the expressions on those people's faces were extremely rich.
This is definitely the happiest and most exciting day of his reign! "But Father, don't get too happy so early. The collection of books is still too few now. We need to find ways to get more books!"
"There are thousands of books of all kinds in the Library Pavilion, all of which are being printed!" Li Shilong said proudly.
"Okay, that's no problem!"
"How much does a book like this cost?"
"This is still open to discussion. My son-in-law's suggestion is to establish the Daqian Royal Library. Once the Royal Library is established, the price can be determined according to the market.
Didn't we set up a price bureau before? This needs to be linked together. According to the costs provided by the price bureau, an appropriate amount of operating expenses can be earned without losing money.
However, the director of the Daqian Royal Library must still be appointed by his father. The reason is simple. If someone else is appointed, his intentions cannot be guaranteed.
Come on, this library cannot make too much money, it is mainly for enlightenment, so that people all over the world can afford to read books, and also afford good books! Secondly, this library can not only sell books, but also read and borrow books!
Because there are always people whose families are poor and cannot afford books, let them find a corner in the library to read, but the books cannot be damaged, otherwise they will be compensated according to the price.
You can also let them buy their own paper to copy. Borrowing books requires paying rent and returning them within a certain period! "
The more people listened, the more shocked they became.
is based on the threshold of aristocratic families! The reason why the aristocratic family is superior is not only because they have money and land, but the most important thing is their cultural height.
They have books, homeschooling, and many servants. The tenants all want their children to be able to study and become scholars. Even if they are not good enough, they can be a bookkeeper and write letters on the street. That is also a decent job!
The people they cultivate themselves are naturally loyal.
To put it bluntly, it is an advanced PUA method that squeezes you dry while making you grateful, gives you some benefits and even squeezes your marrow out of you, and enslaves your descendants.
Promote a few more models to give people hope and endless fighting spirit! "Yes, father, this is what Qin Mo and I have discussed. I am willing to assist my father to promote civil society!" Li Yue saw the right opportunity and knelt on the ground.
Li Shilong was in a good mood, "Okay, I am the director of the Royal Library, so you will be the deputy director. You will be responsible for the pricing and printing of books.
Just as you have discussed, the purpose is not to make money, but also not to lose money. Let every province, every state, every prefecture, and every county in the world have a Daqian Royal Library! "
"Yes, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations!"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Yue could hardly suppress the joy on his lips. If he hadn't pinched his thigh tightly, he would have laughed out loud.
Only when happiness and anger are invisible can he be a true husband! Li Xin could hardly suppress his anger and jealousy.
What a great right.
From now on, anyone who borrows books from the library must read Li Yue's name.
Then what's the matter with him, the prince?
"Worryless!"
"I'm here!" Gongsun Wuji quickly raised his hands and bowed slightly!
"Just be a long history!"
Gongsun Wuji's eyes flashed with joy, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"
Chang Shi is the Secretary-General, which shows that he is still the most trusted person by His Majesty.
"Xuanling!"
"Chen is here!"
"You will be the deputy chief history!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Laoba, find another long history by yourself!"
Li Yue's faith was as strong as lightning, "Father, I think that Chai Rong, the son of Lord Chai, is the most suitable person!"
Hearing this, Li Shilong looked at Chai Shao and nodded calmly, "That's right!"
Qin Moxin said, wonderful! Chai Shao had only sincerely joined him not long ago, and since he had no power, his son Chai Rong was the most suitable candidate.
Li Yongmeng, the Cheng brothers, Xiao Douzi, and Xiao Liu are all inappropriate.
Choosing Chai Rong can not only relieve Li Shilong's worries, but also send a signal that their family will reuse the Chai family, and at the same time appease the Chai family!
Chai Shao came out and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty on behalf of Quanzi. His Royal Highness the King of Yue, but Quanzi's talents are shallow and I'm afraid he won't be able to serve as a long-term historian."
"Don't belittle yourself, Mr. Chai. Although Chai Rong doesn't have extraordinary talents or martial arts, he is loyal and reliable. He can make up for my mistakes!"
It seemed like he was belittling Chai Rong, but he was telling him that this matter really belongs to your son! Chai Shao looked at Qin Mo and bowed to the end, "The humble minister, please thank His Highness the King of Yue on behalf of Quan Zi!"
This time, everyone could no longer take their eyes away from Li Yue.
It seemed like this was their first time meeting this insignificant eighth prince!
