Soon Wei Zheng was outside the pavilion.

When he saw that Li Shimin was also there, he was a little puzzled, and then said, "The minister greets Your Majesty!" His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Huh? Wei Zheng, what are you coming from? ”

Li Shimin asked.

"The minister is looking for His Royal Highness the Prince, there is something wrong!"

Needless to say, this Wei Zheng must have come to Li Chengqian because of the book.

Li Shimin wanted to know what Wei Zheng had come to find Li Chengqian.

He asked, "Oh?" What is it, I want to know! ”

After Li Chengqian nodded towards Wei Zheng, he said, "It's about Datang Publishing House!" ”

Sure enough, it's because of books.

Because there are some things, Li Shimin still knows less, everything is fine with Li Chengqian, but Li Shimin wants to know, so let him know.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Among the five surnames and seven hopes, led by the Wang family, they bought the books of my Datang Publishing House some time ago."

"Their acquisition, this seems to be reasonable, and it also contributes to the abundance of my Datang treasury!"

Li Shimin didn't ask too much, but he also knew that Li Chengqian was a person in the business field and would not lose money.

As long as he has money, he doesn't care, as for movable type printing, what education, it has to be done slowly.

Because Li Shimin didn't know these things, Wei Zheng also started from the beginning.

"And then?"

Li Chengqian asked directly.

"Just now, they sold the books they bought for less than a penny from us, and they sold well!"

These five surnames and seven hopes are here to make trouble, if it is only a penny, their losses are not much!

The first thought in Li Chengqian's heart was: No, it can't be like this. If you don't let you lose, then Lao Tzu won't be called the prince!

When Li Shimin heard this, he was quite shocked, because they did not understand the mystery.

"What are they doing here? Bought and sold at a loss? What is this operation? ”

Li Chengqian had no choice but to explain: "These five companies have bought tens of thousands of books from us, and if they sell them for less than the cost, the books they bought before will lose dozens of dollars at most, as well as labor costs, and our books will be unsalable and cannot be sold." ”

After all, as soon as tens of thousands of books enter the market, how can they be able to eat it all at once?

"These five really can do anything."

Li Shimin said straight, but he didn't understand business warfare, if he was allowed to fight, he would still kill the enemy, and if he governed the country, he would too.

Even if it is a business war, he doesn't know anything.

So he asked Li Chengqian: "Then what should we do next?" ”

The emperor had to ask Li Chengqian what to do, and Li Chengqian was very good. It's almost worth bragging about, and if it's put to now, it's pretty good.

Li Chengqian acted like a superior person and said: "It's simple, let's sell books at half the price!" If they dare to come down again, we won't sell it! ”

Li Chengqian's purpose in doing this is to make them lose, if they don't follow, the book will have to rot in their hands, if they do, then they must be prepared to lose half of it.

Li Shimin was on the side, a little dazed.

For he did not understand the purpose of it.

But seeing Li Chengqian's confident appearance, he was embarrassed to ask more, after all, he couldn't pull his face to ask why.

As an emperor, as long as you focus on the result, it doesn't matter what the process is.

Wei Zheng agreed: "Yes! I'll let you do it in a moment! ”

After saying that, he had no intention of leaving, and seemed to have something to say.

Li Chengqian asked again: "Did they raise the price of paper?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng exclaimed: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really clever!" ”

Li Chengqian said: "The eyeliner I planted next to them has already told me these things, these guys are really very cowardly!" ”

Li Shimin was upset when he heard it.

"In my Datang, I dare to raise prices indiscriminately! Spread my will, whoever dares to raise the price of paper indiscriminately, pull it out and cut it! ”

With Li Shimin's words, these five surnames and Qiwang will probably tremble.

"Yes!"

Then someone went down and gave his orders. However, Li Chengqian had a different idea.

He said: "Your Majesty, although I cut a few people, I can't cure the root cause." Erchen thinks that this method of making paper is still slightly backward, and Erchen wants to make paper! ”

This is well-founded, after all, papermaking is in the hands of the family, the price can not come down, and the output can not keep up, if the papermaking can be transformed, then the future of paper prices will only fall.

"Gao Ming, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked, because Li Chengqian would not say this for no reason.

Li Chengqian said: "Erchen thinks that I Datang must at least master some of these livelihood industries, so that I will not be controlled by others everywhere, and if the cost of paper comes down, then books will fly into the homes of ordinary people!" Erchen dared to conclude that as long as the paper was in our hands, Erchen felt that the cost of books would be reduced to more than half! ”

This is not a joke, if this is the case, I am afraid that it can be reduced to one percent, and it is really anyone can afford to buy books, and anyone can own more than one book.

"And how do you make paper?"

Li Shimin asked.

What he meant was how Li Chengqian was going to build it, and did he have the technology?

"Erchen learned the method of making paper in an ancient book, and I believe that through that method, higher quality paper will be made, and the price of paper will be lower!"

"Oh? ...... like this"

Li Shimin was a little skeptical about what the ancient texts Li Chengqian was reading and why there were so many novel things.

Li Chengqian would not tell him that these were all things in his mind, and they did not belong to this era.

Li Chengqian did not wait for Li Shimin to suspect it, and continued:

"When the paper mill is built, let the Datang Publishing House provide for it, and the ink must also be carried out simultaneously, so that once the paper is produced, there is no fear of no sales, and it will be consumed directly!"

But everything that is produced, once it is in the warehouse, it must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise these are costs, and the book will become old, and the things that have not been sold for more than three months will become a burden! This is his business experience, and it is also the way of doing business for modern people.

Li Chengqian thought of everything that could be done, and since he did it, he had to do his best.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Cheng, in this way, it will definitely hit those families, and it will inevitably eliminate some industries." ”

When they are weak, Li Shimin is happy, and it is better to have everything in their own hands, that is better.

And Li Chengqian is also very happy, this papermaking is successful, and he will not be controlled by others.

At this time, a prompt came to Li Chengqian's head: Congratulations to the host for performing the papermaking task! The bonus bonus is 10%.

Well? Unexpectedly, another bonus bonus was triggered, which is interesting.
