Tang Sufan raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly while looking at Li Shimin's stern expression.
"If you want to revitalize the Han Clan, you must start from the root. A sliding shovel will cut off their roots!"
Suddenly, Tang Sufan turned to ask: "Old Li, let me ask you, how much does a copy of The Analects of Confucius cost, printed on fine rice paper?"
Li Shimin had long been used to Tang Sufan's unintelligible words from time to time.
After understanding the meaning, Li Shimin didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "It's almost as if money goes up -"
He Li Shimin is not one of those idiot emperors who has lived in the palace for a long time. He really cares about the people and really knows the prices of goods among the people.
Not to mention that this book is related to the lifeblood of scholars all over the world——
At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who was almost confused by what he heard, stared: "What the hell, one book can be sold all the time?"
If I had known, I could have made a lot of money by selling the pile of books at home that used to support my facade~
No, I’ll sell it when I get back——
Li Shimin's face darkened, and he glared secretly, "This old man, if you don't understand, don't interrupt, just listen honestly, okay?"
“Money always goes up~”
Tang Sufan laughed inexplicably, and then said: "What if I can sell a book for a hundred pennies, or dozens of pennies?"
"A hundred coins?"
Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched fiercely, then there was a lot of knowledge here!
Hearing the words, Li Shimin knew the elegance. He was not a fool. He immediately thought of some methods that Tang Sufan said about the five surnames and seven hopes for these wealthy families.
This book is the solution, isn't it? In the past, a large part of the reason why ordinary people wanted to study in private schools of wealthy families was that they could only read books there.
But at this time, a book is extremely precious.
Especially some classics and history books that were used in the imperial examinations. Those who had some connections would borrow them from good fellow countrymen, and then copy them by themselves overnight.
And the vast majority of people don't have anywhere to borrow money, so they are lucky even if they can go to private school.
Books are expensive, and aristocratic families monopolize books, which means they monopolize knowledge and talents.
How does this allow the imperial court to recruit its own talents?
Li Shimin had worried about this matter a lot in the past, looking at a large number of talents recommended by these wealthy families with five surnames and seven looks.
Use it...
Worry about their growing influence.
no need……
Then the personnel in various departments in the imperial court are stretched thin.
Anyway, it’s a dilemma——
Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Tang Sufan said slowly: "Old Li, do you understand?"
"Tell me, if I sell these books all over the streets, then do I still have to worry about some poor children who are interested in reading having no books to read?"
When you think of this scene, Li Shimin slammed the table and said excitedly.
"Yes, if this happens, the foundation of the great family will probably be broken within three years!"
Then he immediately reacted: "How much money will it cost to do this? Not to mention other things, the number of scholars in Chang'an is beyond what you can imagine——"
Tang Sufan sneered: "Who said that I would only make a profit if I wanted to do a loss-making business?"
Li Shimin asked again: "No, you guys, these papers cost more than a hundred yuan. Don't you need money to engrave? Doesn't it cost money to print?"
Tang Sufan smiled. Damn, knowledge changes destiny. The school will never bully me~
In later generations, when the technological gap in many industries between China and foreign countries was no longer there, a large number of high-quality and low-priced products appeared, overwhelmingly occupying the market.
But now, he is the only one who understands.
As long as he thinks about it and doesn't care about the popularity of the tree, he can achieve a complete monopoly.
In addition, he was a serious businessman in his previous life. With this little thought, making money is not as simple as just throwing water on him?
"The secret must not be leaked. I made the paper myself, and I also made the printing. No matter what others do, I can guarantee that my book will not lose money if it sells for a hundred cents!"
"Others are expensive to make paper, but I can make better paper than them at a very low price. When the time comes, not only can I deal with aristocratic families, but I can also make a lot of money~"
"really?"
Li Shimin suddenly became excited!
Totally excited!
As an emperor, he instantly understood the huge benefits and its huge role in the poor political family.
It can be said that this alone can directly damage the foundation of those aristocratic families that were able to stand a year ago!
"Of course, Lao Li, there is a saying that knowledge changes destiny, do you understand? I have the new papermaking technology, and I also understand the new printing technology. With these two things, are you still worried that you won't be able to make money?"
Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time. This was killing two birds with one stone!
If it happens, Li Shimin can't even imagine what kind of effect it will have. After being excited for a while, he quickly said: "Then what are you waiting for? If it can be done, I can certainly help you!"
Cheng Yaojin immediately heard the word "making money".
"Boy Tang, this old man can also help!"
"Come on, you are a captain, you are helping me!"
Tang Sufan waved his hand casually, causing Cheng Yaojin's face to turn purple.
If you want to stand up and have a drink, the labor and management is Cheng Yaojin.
With this huge opportunity to make money in front of him, Cheng Yaojin was as anxious as a cat scratching his head...
Tang Sufan continued lazily: "Old Li, do you think this can be done?"
Li Shimin immediately patted his chest and said: "Of course it can happen. How many scholars are there in the world? Furthermore, this is a good thing that will benefit the people for a long time! Can't you, kid, do something good for the scholars in the world?"
Tang Sufan said slowly and jokingly: "Yes, if the scholar gets lucky, both of our lives will be lost~"
"You kid, what do you mean by this?"
"Old Li, have you ever thought about the aristocratic family? The one in the palace is behind two aristocratic families. Do you think they would be willing? The one in the palace would be willing?"
Li Shimin thought what this kid would say.
At that time, the Li family really had the support of the Li family in Longxi and the Li family in Zhaojun, and they were able to make a fortune.
But later on, these people were not bad at all in awarding awards and discussing merits and demerits.
As long as they don't go against the royal family, their lives will naturally not be disturbed.
As for the other companies, that is the key to disrupting centralization.
"This... is of course not a matter of course. If you are worried about the current Holy Majesty, if you dare, go and tell His Majesty in person! Needless to say, the Holy Majesty will naturally be pleased with it!"
"When the time comes, the government will personally endorse you to protect your business and prevent Xiaoxiao from being harassed!"
Li Shimin patted his chest and promised.
Tang Sufan pretended to be weird and said jokingly: "Tsk, talk so loudly that you are just like Li Er."
Tang Sufan clicked casually, and Li Shimin coughed twice quickly and said.
"You kid, what are you talking about? The troubles of this family have been bothering the Sacred Heart for a long time. If you come up with this method, it will be mutually beneficial and the government will hold the letter for you in the future. Are you afraid that this other business will be missed?"
"This is all for your sake~"
Li Shimin naturally offered good terms and pretended to be good for you.
After all, this kid came here just because he didn't want to leave.
I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who knows this new method of making paper and printing.
If you pass this village, there really is no such store.
So, let this kid take it out smoothly...
That's the most important thing——
