Chapter 41: Happy Event
What the future holds, Li Yuanjia doesn't want to worry about it now, and he doesn't have the qualifications to worry about it.
Let's not talk about the two nephews Li Chengqian and Li Tai, or Fang Jun's brother-in-law, and even Li Ke's nephew who has seen less, each of them is not a simple character, just to say that the people standing behind them are Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, all of whom are super bosses that he can never provoke.
If you stretch out your hand rashly, you will be beaten!
So even if his heart fluctuates and he imagines countless possibilities, what Li Yuanjia can do at the moment is one thing: manage his own one-third of an acre of land and do something he can do.
For example, the cards that shined in Sanyuan County this time made Sun Peng quite happy.
"Send me a message and let Li Zhong let them go and make cards!"
On the third day after returning to Chang'an from Sanyuan County, Li Yuanjia finally made up his mind, and after calling Han Lucheng, he seriously instructed: "If there are not enough people, you will buy someone for me; If you don't have enough paper, give me some more materials this spring! Anyway, in the summer, you have to make me at least a thousand decks of cards a month, you know? ”
"Huh? A thousand? ”
After listening to his words, Han Lucheng's face suddenly changed slightly.
He knows that the king attaches great importance to his own cards, the paper must be the best, the printing must be the most exquisite, and each card must be made of Tianzhu numbers, there can be no mistakes! As a result of this request, the production of cards is very low, and the price is also staggering!
Therefore, the task of 1,000 pairs a month is definitely not light for Li Zhong!
But just a moment later, Han Lucheng's face immediately turned pale, and he bowed down and responded: "Yes, King, I will send someone over early tomorrow morning, and let Li Zhong and them start ...... as soon as possible."
Whether the task is light or heavy, it's all Li Zhong's trouble, what does it have to do with him?
Han Lucheng is responsible for the operation of Xinhua Bookstore, he only knows that the white paper and cards in the bookstore will never be enough to sell, even if the price of white paper has risen three times, and now it is nearly twice as expensive as the boutique of Lijia Paper Workshop.
Li Zhong: The more they do, the more Xinhua Bookstore will be able to sell, which is a great thing.
"Oh, yes!"
Speaking of Xinhua Bookstore, the royal property he controlled, Han Lucheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly owed a debt and said, "Wang, there is something I have to report to you...... The set of "Mathematics" that you asked people to sell in Xinhua Bookstore suddenly sold a lot of copies in the past two days? ”
"Hmm...... Well? What do you mean? ”
After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia reacted, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Blinking his eyes, Han Lucheng hurriedly replied: "It's that set of books, more than 20 sets have been sold in the past few days!" I remember you saying that you would let you know as soon as the book sold out...... I sold more than 20 sets in less than 10 days, I think it should be very good, right? ”
When he said this, Han Lucheng suddenly felt a little apprehensive.
"Haha, of course!"
Hearing his words, Li Yuanjia, who was still a little lazy, stood up from the chair suddenly, and slapped him after walking a few steps in the room excitedly: "Isn't this good?" That's a great deal! ”
From the time this set of books was sent to Xinhua Bookstore to a few days ago, was the total number of copies sold 20?
Anyway, in Li Yuanjia's impression, there should be none.
Although the total cost of making engravings for this set of books, as well as the used paper and ink, is a lot of money, but compared to the importance of promoting mathematics, this money is a yarn?
I heard that more than 20 sets have been sold in the past few days, more than the previous combined, how can he not be happy? Not excited?
So after being excited, Li Yuanjia immediately asked: "By the way, have you figured out why?" Who are the main people who buy books? Why do they buy books? ”
"Back to the king, it seems that the king of Wei asked people to buy ten sets!"
I had already guessed that Li Yuanjia would ask this question, so Han Lucheng, who was prepared, gave the answer without hesitation: "In addition, people from Lu Guogong's Mansion also bought ten sets yesterday, although no one bought so much, but I guess I want to find more people to see?" ”
"King Wei? Lu Guogong? ”
After hearing these two names, Li Yuanjia immediately understood.
Li Tai himself has already studied six books, although Li Yuanjia does not know what exactly he has learned, but the eldest nephew must have realized the importance and convenience of Arabic numerals. Cheng Zhijie was told to him directly by Li Yuanjia, and it seems that whether he believes it or not, he plans to let people learn to take a look.
As for Lu Guogong himself......
It's not that Li Yuanjia looks down on this Zhenguan boss, but no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person who is willing to learn mathematics again, let alone a master who can learn it.
But after thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjia still had a happy smile on his face.
No matter what the reason is, and no matter how many people they have to learn after they buy the books back, but one thing Li Yuanjia can be sure of is that at least some people are willing to buy books - the things that have been spent money must be turned over after they are taken back, right? And with the orders of Li Tai and Cheng Zhijie, those people have to use dim sum more or less, right?
As long as someone starts trying, there is hope!
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia simply waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, you will send someone to send another five ...... to the Lu Guogong Mansion No, ten more sets! I promised before, even if Lu Guogong asked people to buy it, I would send it over! In addition, let people pay close attention to Xinhua Bookstore, as long as more than 200 sets are sold, they will be returned immediately, and then let Li Zhong and them print more! ”
Li Yuanjia has a hunch that "Mathematics" may be about to usher in a turning point.
If it is placed more than a thousand years later, even if it is not sold today, there is no need to be afraid, just find a printer and pop puff can print dozens of copies. But in these days, the original engraving printing is not so easy to do, if you really wait until the book is sold out and then "reprint" will definitely be too late, you must do it in advance.
"Yes, my lord."
The corners of Han Lucheng's eyes jumped, and he nodded quickly.
After feeling that there was nothing to explain, Li Yuanjia waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, you go out first...... Let someone make me a pot of tea! ”
"Yes."
Secretly relieved, Han Lucheng bent down and exited Li Yuanjia's study.
After he left, Li Yuanjia gently tapped his fingers on the table, and began to seriously consider increasing the promotion of Arabic numerals. It's just that before he could think about it, he saw Han Lucheng, who had just left, walking in from outside with a happy face: "King, happy event, King!" ”
"Oh? What's the happy event? ”
"The workshop outside the city sent someone to report that the glass you asked them to make, they finally made it workable......
