After the end of the court meeting, the emperor personally decided to promote the promotion of printing, Chen Ye thought about it and felt that it was better not to lose too much technology, it was better to establish a printing center in several regions, and the income of all printing personnel came from the profits of the bookstore

All printers were to be guarded 24 hours a day, and all workers had to sign confidentiality agreements or face severe punishment.

There is also the price of books is still too high, the price should be reduced, the bottleneck now lies in the technology of paper, the current paper technology is still a little expensive, the book is easy to be damaged after a long time, which is not conducive to long-term preservation.

Papermaking Chen Ye still thinks that it will come out slowly in the future, printing and papermaking appear together, Chen Ye feels that he can't protect it with his current strength.

Chen Ye told the two princes his thoughts, and the two princes meant that they still wanted to establish a bookstore and let their own people manage it, and there was no way to offend anyone.

The original book merchants began to find Chen Ye, although Chen Ye had told him before that this technology must be dedicated to the country, and now they are very worried about what will happen to their business in the future?

"Master Chen, now that the book technology has been dedicated, what will we do in the future?"

"My lord, show us a way to live"

"My lord, what should I do?"

Chen Ye was speechless as he listened to their gossip.

"Why don't you know how to be flexible" After Chen Ye finished speaking, there was a look of hope on their faces, and they were a little confused.

"My lord, how do you work around?"

"You made a lot of money printing books before" Chen Ye looked at them, they basically monopolized the printing of Zhongshan Country by printing before, and the books were sold, and the money kept coming into their pockets.

"In the future, the price of your books will be the same as that of the government, but the quality of the paper will not be allowed to change. In addition, the books related to scientific research should be thin, and you should focus on the words and pictures. ”

In fact, you can't make a lot of money by printing books, and if you want to make money by printing books, you can only rely on printing books and vivid comic books. This way books can increase their prices and also create a loyal readership.

"Is this okay?"

"Believe me, the Printing Association also has my shares, and for the scholars who are good at writing this, you hire them with high salaries, and the book chapters are printed, and they will definitely sell well." After Chen Ye finished speaking, he let them go.

Movable type printing is actually very simple and easy to imitate, and what Chen Ye can do is to minimize the price of books and create profits on scripts and other reading materials.

It is not easy for scholars to make money, so it is better to earn less.

In addition, Chen Ye asked all books produced by the Printing Association to print a sentence on the cover: "Reading for the rise of Zhongshan - Chen Ye".

It was very difficult to set up a bookstore in various places at first, and the local bookstore used its connections or the power of the family to block the opening of the bookstore.

Or use the local scoundrels to make trouble in the store, and the progress is not very smooth.

"It's not going well over there," the prince was basking in the sun in the yard, very pleasant

"The second prince has our people obstructing it, and the progress is relatively slow."

"Very well, did you tell the other families? Would you like to help us? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, their condition is to be able to share movable type printing"

"It's okay to promise them, but one thing, their bookstore will change our people after that."

It turned out that in order to gain the support of the family, the prince decided to share movable type printing with the family, and then the bookstore became his own person, which was a disguised use of interests to gain the support of the family.

In this way, on the surface, the prince's promotion is effective, everyone supports it, and it has won the hearts of the people, but in fact, these bookstores are inseparable from the support of the family, and the royal family originally enjoyed the technology, which can be regarded as a weapon against the family, but now it is invalid.

After the family got movable type printing on their side, the promotion of the second prince was definitely limited, and even if it was promoted, it made no sense to find that his bookstore was opened.

"All these people deserve to die"

"The second prince is angry, I have a clever plan, I can draw salary from the bottom of the kettle"

The two of them were talking in private, and then the two of them showed smug smiles.

There was a commotion on the street, and everyone was talking.

"I heard that the government-run bookstore has opened, and the price is very low"

"The bookstore is also very expensive"

"Zuiyang Bookstore has the lowest price, let's go there to buy" Several people went in groups to buy

"Get out of the way, get out of the way" A pair of officers and soldiers directly sealed all the Shijia bookstores to prevent the expansion of influence, and a leader told the crowd the reason why the store was closed.

"It has now been found out that Zuiyang Book Company is printing in violation of regulations and is suspected of probing the secrets of the DPRK"

A team of officers and soldiers escorted all the treasurers and men inside to the prison.

"Wronged, wronged"

"Steal the secrets of the court, no one will save you"

"Say, where is the printing address?"

"The villain doesn't know"

The officer in the "Great Torture Waiting" said, and another officer dragged a prisoner by and said, "Aren't you going to print books?" The mouth is so hard, and in the end, it didn't come out, and this person really can't stand the beating."

When the other imprisoned shopkeepers heard this, they were already frightened, and they all said it all at once, and almost all the shopkeepers and guys rushed to expose the printed address.

"I said it all, the printed address is in the county office," a shopkeeper said first.

I didn't expect these families to be really bold, and they even put the printing place in the county office, and complained that the whole city searched, but they still didn't find where it was, and the most dangerous place was really the safest.

"Come, surround the county office" A group of officers and soldiers surrounded the county government and waited for orders from inside.

The county government was still sleeping with some concubines in their arms, and was awakened by the sound of footsteps and torches.

After the county order came out, he saw the officers and soldiers surrounding the county office, and quickly said: "Officers, why are you surrounding the county office?"

"We suspect there is a black seal shop inside"

"This is the county office, don't retreat quickly, otherwise I will join you" The county order thinks that it has the protection of the family, and is not afraid that these officers and soldiers will rush in.

"Okay, let's see if you have this life."

A bunch of soldiers saw the order and rushed in.

After entering, the soldier went directly to the black workshop, which was being printed, and was directly arrested.

"Take this prefectural ordinance with it, and all the machines with it" The same thing happened in many places, and this time the prefectural ordinance supported by many families, all the big and small officials were arrested.

After the second prince saw that the human and physical evidence was conclusive, he directly ordered to be killed. Originally, the think tank wanted to persuade the second prince that these should not be killed, but this method was too extreme.

"Second prince, in the future, you will be more gentle with the family's methods"

"It's okay, hurry up and arrange our people."

The emperor in the palace saw what the two princes did, and he was furious in the imperial study, and he didn't know how many tea sets were broken.

"Bastard, they have the ability now, one is in the same league with the family, and the other is directly killed by all of them, what a good son of mine."

On the other side, the family is also ready to move, this time the second prince has violated the family's scales, so that the family puts the second prince on the opposite side, after all, the second prince dares to kill people at this time, and it will be terrible to ascend the throne in the future, but the second prince does not intend to let these families support themselves so firmly, as long as they have the power of the army, why care about the power of the family, whoever has the power of the army has the last power.

The second prince is not worried at all, the second prince also carries out some measures to benefit the people, including direct free books for poor scholars, often holding poetry meetings, and some answering questions and book donation activities, anyway, this time the family, as long as the people at the bottom are grateful to themselves, there will be a steady stream of support for themselves, and the second prince also encourages poor and famous people to be teachers in several villages and towns, and the teacher's income is borne by the second prince.

The second prince also let his subordinates spread it everywhere, cracked down on black-hearted bookstores, and lowered the price of official bookstores, which made more people love them for a while.

Chen Ye grasped this information for the first time, because many people in the bookstore were from the previous bookstore, and Chen Yi also arranged for some people to go in, but Chen Ye did not come out to stop it, and Chen Ye could not participate in the competition between the eldest prince and the second prince. Don't delay Chen Ye to arrange his own people to go in, the most important thing this time is that the two princes gain fame, and the emperor must have money in his underwear, which is enough, and the family is not something that can be broken in a day or two.
