Chapter 746: Book Order
Many caravans were in the book business, and the readers were crazy, smashing pots and selling iron just to be able to buy a few more books.
That positive energy is like winning the lottery.
It was because of this demand of the scholars that the merchants paid for the customization of books in the printing workshop in Youzhou.
The printing workshop is for the purpose of producing and printing, and the minimum requirement is to print from 1,000 copies, and the more printed, the more favorable the price.
A lot of businessmen are investing in partnerships, because the project of printing books is also a big project for them, and they have to print a lot of different books in order to achieve the sales effect.
They have all investigated the books that are indispensable for readers, and they appear to advertise in newspapers in order to sell better.
After that, the secretary was distributed to various caravans for them to publicize, and after selling the books, they could get a rebate on the total sales, and the purchase did not require the merchants of the caravan to press the payment, and they all sold as much as they wanted.
It's a business without capital.
The reason why they didn't dare to cheat was that there was investment from Youzhou Commercial Bank in the book project, and no one dared to repay Youzhou.
Needless to say, the sales model is of course provided by Li De.
With the help of merchants' money to spread knowledge, don't look at reducing the selling price of books, so that you can catch a large number of poor people.
At the same time, their book sales also include mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks in Youzhou, and the key is that the merchants will also give the readers a hope.
As long as you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you can apply for a job in Youzhou City Guard.
After the scholars fail to make the list, they will either continue to study and wait for the next scientific examination, and now there is a new hope.
When they go to Youzhou, they can choose to apply for a job in the city guard, or they can work in Youzhou Academy, making money while preparing for the next scientific examination.
Many shops will hire readers, and there are too many ways to develop.
It can be said that Li De is selling books, but he is actually spreading hope.
The families of the Sui State were all shocked, and the family used their connections to directly pass on the contradictions to the supremacy of the imperial court.
The ministers can't say anything about the price of books in Youzhou, they are just cheap and good for the world's readers.
In the eyes of the family, this is to shake their roots, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are mortal enemies.
If it's a businessman or a family, there are many ways to get them to stop doing this.
When they faced Li De, the governor of Youzhou, no one dared to do anything.
Even if all of their families are gathered, they don't have 500,000 soldiers and horses, and besides, the Youzhou forces are already local divisions, unless they let the imperial court send troops to assess, they also know that this is even more of a dream.
However, using the imperial court to put pressure on Youzhou and intensify the contradictions from it may not have the opportunity to do something.
If the power of the family is not enough, it will unite with the nobles.
Wenchen is aware of the crisis of the situation and has mastered the knowledge, which means that there will be many scholars in Youzhou, and it is a threat to the royal family to gather so many talents in the long run.
Youzhou's power is now very large, and it can already have the strength to compete with the royal family, so Youzhou can no longer exist.
Emperor Yang of Sui looked at the courtiers and was filled with indignation, saying that Li De of Youzhou stole the wisdom of the sages, spread crooked ways, and finally threatened the imperial power.
"You think there's a way?"
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was in favor of the price reduction of books, which would weaken the family's position in the imperial court, and it would be convenient for him to manage it in the future.
He also knew that it was true about the Youzhou threat theory.
But what can be done?
Now most of his soldiers and horses have been lost, it is the best time to recuperate, Penglai City is lost, not to mention, the recruits of the Xiaocai guard are almost lost.
Thinking of this, I can't wait to push Changsun Sheng out with him and kill him as soon as possible.
But after all, he is from a family, and many people must consider even if he is the emperor, if he insists on going his own way, he can only be happy for a while.
To offend many families is to gain more than to lose.
After many failures and setbacks, he also knew that the strength of the royal family was still too weak, and now he continued to endure it and waited for the rearmament of the backer king's soldiers and horses to be completed, which was the opportunity for the royal family to rise again.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not say anything to the ministers at all, and confronting the 500,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou might be the end of the Sui State.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter can be resolved through negotiations, since the other party can provide low-cost books, why not buy out their supply, and we will still be able to make money then."
"Well, Shangshu has a good idea, I don't believe that they have so much paper in Youzhou, and besides, the paper is so expensive, they print books just to brush up their prestige, we can order more, so that they can lose more money."
"Yes, I heard that doing business with Youzhou is a contract, and if the other party can't meet the supply demand, you can ask for 100 times the compensation."
Emperor Yang of Sui slandered in his heart, these court officials want to say that the methods of bad people are really more poisonous than the other.
"Okay, just do what you want, negotiate in the name of the imperial court, and you will settle the money you need."
The court officials all scolded their mothers in their hearts, and they would solve it when they said that they would spend money, and the emperor's expenses when he traveled did not blink his eyes.
As courtiers, they can't do anything to the emperor.
The plan of the officials was mainly based on Shangshu, and it was rare that Yu Wenhua was in favor but did not lead, so this opportunity became Shangshu and several courtiers.
They made a decision, of course, that they couldn't pay for the money themselves, so they found the family and left them with the opportunity to make the difference.
The families are all united, especially those who open bookstores in their families, who take the most money and are the most enthusiastic about this thing.
The books in Youzhou are cheaper than the ones they print themselves, and stopping their own workshops not only saves money but also makes a steady profit, how can they refuse such a good thing.
They all speculated that Youzhou's books would definitely not last long, and based on this consideration, they joined forces to really draw up a huge order.
It was the turn of Lu Fulin of Honglu Temple to negotiate.
Youzhou City Guard, when farming was in full swing, Lu Fulin came to discuss business in person.
Li De also gave a lot of face to receive in person.
"What is the reason for Honglu Siqing's visit?"
Youzhou didn't have much to do with the imperial court, and Li De didn't think that Lu Fulin had anything to do.
"I'm here to talk about business with the Metropolitan Governor."
"Isn't it really a joke, tell me what kind of business you are looking at?"
"I heard that there is a book printing business in Youzhou, and I have a big order here, I don't know if the governor is willing to take it."
Lu Fulin took out the book list and the number of prints was already indicated.
Li De frowned a little when he saw the number after seeing it, and he was shocked by such a large number.
Lu Fulin was a little hesitant when he saw this Li De, and knew in his heart that maybe things were really the same as they expected, and the books in Youzhou were also swollen and fat, and the printing price was not low at all.
"Yes, you need to pay for it upfront." Li Dedao.
