"I understand Da Chu's sincerity and look forward to deepening cooperation between the two countries in the future." Duan Yunyi nodded.
After Xing Feng left, Duan Yunyi couldn't help but ask Zhuge Hui: "What does the Prime Minister think of this matter?"
"The Emperor of Chu is very ambitious, and it is possible that he may be plotting against the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xing Feng's move surprised me deeply. He and the Emperor of Chu have the same love as father and son, and he is also the emperor's consort of Great Chu, so there is no reason to betray him. Seeking glory. Then there is only one explanation: he believed from the bottom of his heart that Chu should not send its troops northward in the presence of Liang Xiao, otherwise it would only cause backlash for our country, causing hundreds of harms and no benefit."
Duan Yunyi nodded silently, understanding in his heart.
Da Chu's national power is not as good as that of Da Zhou, but Da Zhou experienced the disaster of moving the capital and lost its majesty. If there is a domestic chaos, Da Chu will not have no chance.
"Your Majesty should indeed take more precautions. These big families have a huge influence in Jiangnan, especially the Gongyang family. The court must make arrangements in advance and arrange reliable defenders in the Jiangnan area. There is no room for failure." Zhuge Hui reminded.
Duan Yunyi immediately arranged for the transfer of personnel in the Jiangnan area.
After Zhuge Hui left, Duan Yunyi looked at the "Luo Shen Fu" on the wall in trance.
Fortunately, there was no court meeting today. When the sisters returned to the palace yesterday, it was already midnight. They blamed the story he told for being too attractive. She felt itchy after hearing it, and she wanted to use a whip to drive him to finish it all at once...
Now she felt that Jiang Fuxue was the most enviable. After all, the child had more opportunities to listen to his stories.
At noon, representatives of more than 20 large and small aristocratic families in Dachu visited Liang Xiao to discuss business.
Liang Xiao has received a notice from the palace, asking him to act cheaply, but the price cannot be lower than the original price.
These aristocratic families were all operating the book industry in their own country, and finally formed a harmonious monopoly structure. The emergence of Liang Xiao almost caused chaos among them.
After Xing Feng's suggestion, everyone sent Ye Hongxue, the Miss Ye family with the best eloquence and the leader of the Four Beauties in Hengjiang, to discuss with Liang Xiao.
"Marquis Lanling, we hope that the cover of the book you customized for us can be printed by each of our families, not the Marquis Lanling Mansion..."
After understanding the needs of each family, Liang Xiao reminded: "I can agree to this condition, and Lanling Bookstore will not sell books in Dachu in the future. But you must guarantee that the resale price shall not be higher than four hundred Wen ."
Everyone agreed.
Normally, each family's profit from hand-copied books is only four to five hundred yuan.
Including shipping costs, the profit from reselling Liang Xiao's books is less than 200 yuan, which seems to be much less than before. In fact, such high-quality and cheap books can make small profits but quick turnover, and the final total profit may be even greater than before. more!
The most important thing is that Liang Xiao's promise means that Lanling Bookstore will not destroy the country's book industry, allowing them to sit back and relax.
Liang Xiao also has his own considerations.
He must distinguish the primary and secondary conflicts. For the time being, these aristocratic families in Dachu have no direct grudges against him. Even if they cannot be coaxed and used, they can at least be restrained from supporting the great aristocratic families like Dazhou.
Dealing with these big families in the country is the top priority.
The book industry can make these big Chu family members avoid offending him and Da Zhou casually, and he can also make a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.
A complete set of books only cost 2,100 liters in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Common people could buy it by saving some money, and their children could hope to get ahead through reading.
If you place it in Dachu, the price will double at most, but it is still better than the original book with a thousand words, so more people will naturally buy it.
This was something he had planned for a long time. Xing Feng came to talk to him, but he just followed the trend. Of course Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui knew the benefits of this matter to Zhou Dynasty.
Considering the business partnership with him, everyone in Dachu will also consider supporting his other industries to flourish in Dachu in the future.
When each company approached him to discuss the order and reported the pre-order quantity, Liang Xiao could not help but be secretly surprised.
Twenty-six Da Chu families have pre-ordered more than 500,000 units in total, with a total payment of more than one million taels. The deposit alone, which accounts for one-fifth of the total payment, is 200,000 taels...
The wealth of Da Chu's aristocratic families still exceeded his expectations.
There was also the ordering of newspapers. Each family ordered a set of newspapers introducing the history of their family's struggle. At nine cents per copy, the total was three million copies, or twenty-seven thousand taels of silver.
Ye Hongxue was still worried and said with a smile: "With this set of books, we are very likely to continue to order them. In addition, Lanlinghou's bookshop will definitely publish other books in the future, and we can come and talk to you again." "
Everyone agreed and admired in their hearts.
Ye Hongxue was not in charge of business, but he came to negotiate with Liang Xiao on behalf of the Ye family because he couldn't resist everyone's entreaties.
Her words not only expressed her support for Liang Xiao, but also gave Liang Xiao the sweetness of continuing to cooperate.
Liang Xiao happily agreed and made a contract with everyone.
Of course, the capital did not have enough materials to print 500,000 sets of books, so each company made an agreement with Liang Xiao to deliver one-fifth of the goods in each round. After receiving the goods, they would receive a deposit and continue printing.
These families just hope that Liang Xiao will not extend his tentacles to Dachu and destroy their book industry, so they allow delivery once every six months to gain Liang Xiao's favor.
Of course, they also believe that Liang Xiao will not let a lot of money go unearned, and will definitely rush to work.
Each family achieved their goals and finally left Lanlinghou Mansion with satisfaction.
After learning about this, many aristocratic families in the Zhou Dynasty were so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
In the secret room of Duanmu's house, Dugu Chen couldn't help but feel his scalp numb: "This kid has deep thoughts and deep intentions. It's really difficult to deal with him!"
Each of their families has made a lot of gains in the book industry, wine industry, and salt industry. Now Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi have directly come to drain the firewood.
Especially official salt and cheap books.
This means that the days when they wake up laughing every year while lying on mountains of gold and silver are gone forever.
And they have no way to oppose this good thing that benefits the country and the people.
rebel? If you are not careful, your family will be confiscated and your entire family will be exterminated.
Duguchen gritted his teeth and said: "For the current plan, we should secretly increase our support for Beihu, Goryeo, Japan and Northern Hebei Rangers, and let them take action at the same time to capture the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible! Especially in the East China Sea area, as long as the salt works can be destroyed , it’s only a matter of time before Yanyin returns!”
Tuoba Jun frowned and said: "There are thousands of Northern Hebei Rangers, but their attitude is unclear. Their leader, Long Wushuang, cannot be trusted. Be careful that he betrays us with a letter of surrender."
Dugu Chen disagreed: "It's one thing not to be trustworthy. Just be careful not to leave any evidence. Now we must let all forces take action, even if they are paid to do things! As long as the land of Yanyun can be destroyed, the Beihu cavalry can march straight in. Only then will you and my family have the real right to speak! Don’t forget, your Tuoba clan is also from the northern grasslands, and there is no reason to refuse Beihu’s move south.”
Everyone thought thoughtfully, and then nodded: "Only by raising bandits can we respect ourselves, that's it!"
The major aristocratic families in the capital sent carriages along the official road to the south of Youzhou.
