Chapter 118: I Didn't Expect It at All

As soon as Li Kuan's words fell, everyone sat up straight, holding their breath, and the hungry wolf stared at Li Kuan like a lamb, for fear of missing a word.

No one is a fool, everyone knows that today's drama is coming!

"The reason why the books and paper in Xinhua Bookstore are sold so cheaply is because the papermaking and printing workshops use very special techniques that can be taught to everyone here."

As soon as Li Kuan's words were finished, the businessmen in the audience were all dumbfounded, as if they thought that their ears had misheard.

Compare your heart to your heart, if your workshop has such a powerful technology, you won't tell others about it.

"Lord Wang, is this true?"

Wen Qiming asked what was in everyone's hearts.

"Seriously!"

"That'...... How much do we have to pay? ”

"Free to teach, no money!"

Hearing Li Kuan's words, Wen Qiming was not only not happy, but asked more cautiously, "That'...... Are there any other requirements for that? ”

"Naturally, there is." Li Kuan looked at Wen Qiming with a smile, "In the future, as long as the books and papers sold in various shops use the special craftsmanship of the Chu Palace, you need to pay half of the selling price to Xinhua Bookstore, and it will be settled every month." ”

Wen Qiming immediately quickly weighed it in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, the profit of books and paper is more than 20%, and it is not too harsh to pay half of it to Xinhua Bookstore.

The most important thing is that if you don't agree, then your own bookstore won't survive at all.

"Lord Wang, if there is only this request, then I will support the proposal of the prince on behalf of our Wenqu bookstore."

Wen Qiming made a quick choice.

"Lord Wang, I also agree to pay half of the amount to Xinhua Bookstore."

"I agree."

The businessmen saw that Wen Qiming had taken the lead, and they were not to be left behind.

Even the shopkeeper Zheng of the Three Flavors Book House is no exception.

"Congratulations to everyone for making the right choice. After a while, Wang Xuance will sign the relevant contract with you, and then you can send people to visit and study the papermaking workshop and printing workshop in the Chu Palace, until you learn it! ”

Li Kuan achieved his goal, and he was in a very good mood.

Although Wang Xuance and Chu Suiliang both felt that it was better to hold the technology in their own hands, Li Kuan's angle was different, and the choices he made were naturally different.

Earning money is a must, but Li Kuan doesn't live simply to make money.

Moreover, by charging half of the fee to achieve technology transfer, in fact, it is equivalent to a Datang version of the patent fee.

In the future, all businesses will slowly get used to this practice, and the meaning will be very different.

……

"Your Majesty, this is a record of what happened in Wuheju today." Li Zhong slipped to Li Shimin's side like a cat and handed over a copy of the latest information.

"Oh, news so soon. I'm curious about what kind of tricks Kuan'er is going to play. ”

These days, Xinhua Bookstore has made such a big move, Li Shimin naturally understands some of the situation, but yesterday Li Kuan suddenly invited so many merchants to the banquet, which was beyond his expectations.

Therefore, the Hundred Cavalry Division specially arranged for someone to inquire about the situation at the banquet today.

"Huh? This Li Kuan actually has such great courage! ”

Obviously, the free teaching of new papermaking and printing techniques surprised everyone.

"Li Zhong, what do you think?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu often acts in a whimsical manner, but often the results are very good, and his subordinates tend to think that there will be a very good result this time."

"It is worth it to make the price of books and paper drop significantly, even if the interests of the Chu Wangfu are damaged, this son of evil can be regarded as having a bit of a big picture."

……

The autumn is high and cool, and the courtyard of the Chu Wangfu is lively, and the palace guards who have been trained for more than half a year are already a bit decent.

"Clank!"

Li Kuan was about to go to the school to observe today's confrontation exercise, but he didn't expect that the system that had been sleeping for a long time would actually move.

【Quest completed, please receive the reward】

I'm going, what's going on?

Li Kuan hurriedly went in to take a look, only to find that the task of completing a book with the highest sales arranged by the system had actually been completed.

This is only half written, is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" already the best book sold by Datang?

After looking at the sales of each department, it should be able to be stacked, otherwise it shouldn't be so quick to complete the task, right?

Forget it, no matter what, it's finally done, see what the rewards are.

"System, claim the reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a book "Elementary Shipbuilding Technology" appeared on the panel.

Writing a best-selling book in exchange for just a book on "Elementary Shipbuilding Technology" is too pitiful, right?

However, seeing that the points are rare by two hundred points, Li Kuan doesn't think about it so much.

As for shipbuilding technology, last year there were craftsmen in the palace to make ships, but they could barely use it.

……

In the face of nature, man's power is very weak.

Every autumn, from Lingnan to Shandong, the Datang coast is often hit by hurricanes, and this year is no exception.

A few days ago, Li Shimin was still glad that the hurricane damage in coastal prefectures and counties this year was not as severe as in previous years, and a 500-mile express letter from Dengzhou destroyed his good mood.

"Your Majesty, these seaside states and counties are often barren in land and fierce in people. In Weichen's view, it is better to let them move inward and completely solve the problem of hurricane hazards. ”

"If you move inward, it will cost more money and food, and so many states and counties are close to the sea, all of them will move inward, where will they go?"

"Yes, it's an internal move, and sometimes it can be like a hurricane that can cause a lot of damage. It's like Dengzhou, where there were few records of hurricanes in previous years, but this year it was devastated. ”

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin summoned Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Dai Zhou and other ministers to discuss the disaster in Dengzhou.

However, everyone's views are different, and Li Shimin has a hard time making a choice.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the problem of Dengzhou is essentially that the property in this place is too poor, and the ability of the people to withstand disasters is very low.

Fang Xuanling's words are to the point, and no one denies it.

"The truth is so, but how to increase the income of the people in Dengzhou?" Li Shimin is also a little big.

But the eldest grandson Wuji on the side suddenly had an idea, "Your Majesty, Chang'an City said that who can make the most money, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be on the list." Weichen heard that Liangzhou City is now a prosperous scene, this is all the credit of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, can you consider letting His Royal Highness the King of Chu also go to Dengzhou Mansion to have a look, maybe he can find a good way. ”
