Chapter 275: Sharing Books

"At a young age, how did you start playing starting ball, it's too bloodless."

Emperor Li Zhi watched Li Xiao swing a dashing swing and hit a corner kick far away, and said with some disdain.

"Horses are expensive, Your Majesty. To play polo, you have to train good horses, which is even more expensive. ”

"Are you short of that?" Li Zhi looked down on Li Xiao and cried poor, although the Lanxi Li family had no foundation, but in the hands of Li Asan, it was a good business, even the Taishi Elder Sun Wuji had to give him a mansion, and even the Cheng family and the Xue family did business with him. "Your family has 3,500 acres of land, Chang'an City has 18 acres of house, or is it in Shengyefang, and you just subscribed for 1,000 acres of good land in Baekje, you say you don't have money to buy a few horses?"

Li Xiao handed the club to Li Zhi and asked him to try the fun of this hammer pill.

"Your Majesty, the little money left by my family has subscribed to the bonds of the imperial court, which is a full three thousand. Originally, the medicine and wine shop could still earn some income every month, but now the court does not allow the people to brew privately, and my medicine and wine shop has also been cut off. ”

"Isn't your medicine wine shop making medicinal wine, and you don't need to make your own wine." Li Zhi pouted.

You can get this clear, I guess you have studied the profits of the Li family's medicinal wine and so on. "Your Majesty, my medicine and liquor shop really don't need to buy grain and make wine by ourselves, we all use the sake lees left over from the brewery, but under the order of the imperial court, the private wine shops in Chang'an are closed, and the wine lees of several government-run wine shops are also rising in price, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

"It's kind of interesting to fight this hammer pill."

After playing for a while, Li Zhi suddenly had some fun, he didn't look at it very much, but he thought it was the old men playing, but now he finds that it is actually quite interesting.

"I will build this hammer pill court in the palace when I go back, those people in the province are always preventing me from playing polo, this hammer pill is not dangerous."

The people of the Tang Dynasty were affected by playing polo, and the emperor loved to play it, but polo was a dangerous sport after all, and every time Li Zhi wanted to play polo, there would always be a group of people around him to advise. It's serious, and he even said that he was greedy and neglectful.

"The minister will send His Majesty a few sets of clubs, and then some corners." Li Xiao will not persuade the emperor not to play ball, what is wrong with playing a few balls, where will it rise to the point of losing the will of some plaything and misleading the country. Playing with it properly is also good for the body and mind.

This doesn't let the emperor play, and that doesn't let the emperor play, does it allow the emperor to play with women in the harem all day long? That's the real thing, and women who play too much really don't live long.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Li Xiao's interest in seeing him, and promoted him to secretary and young eunuch in vain.

"I'll leave the matter of printing books to you, and the matter of the imperial examination reform will not be mentioned for the time being, and you won't make a noise, understand?"

"The minister understands that the matter is big, and Your Majesty has to plan a few more times." Li Xiao hurriedly slapped his ass.

The emperor was comfortable for a while, and then the emperor said happily, "Although this hammer pill is good, but you are also a nobleman, and you are so young, you still have to practice playing polo more when you have time, as a nobleman, you can't ride a horse and shoot an arrow, playing polo is a good sport to practice riding, you say there is no horse, then I will give you four royal horses, and I will send them to you when I turn around." ”

"Also, I turned around and decreed that the official village under my name will supply you with sake lees, and the price can be slightly cheaper."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiao was really a little moved, this young emperor is indeed very generous sometimes. This person is not ruthless, although he also had murderous intent towards the eldest grandson Wuji, but as soon as the eldest grandson compromised, the emperor immediately relented.

It's actually good to follow such a monarch, the kind of emperor who is resolute and decisive at every turn is the real companion like a tiger.

Li Xiao, the secretary of the Chaosan doctor, the young eunuch and the corn supervisor and the founder of Lantian County, the acting Wang You, has lengthened his title a little more, and now he not only has to take care of the affairs of the corn supervisor, but also the affairs of the newly established printing bureau in the secretary province, and is responsible for printing the Nine Classics and the Five Classics.

Li Zhi was very happy at Li's house today, he had a lot of fun swimming in the pool, and he played the hammer pills very well, not to mention that Li Xiao also prepared a table of appetizers and accompanied the emperor to drink and chat.

"Your Majesty, when a large number of classics are printed by the Printing Bureau, they can be distributed to the Guozijian and all states and counties in the world. The minister also suggested that not only should the books be sold, but also a library could be set up in the official schools in the capital and various prefectures and counties in the world, allowing the people of the world to go to the library to read Confucian classics, and allowing them to rent books to read back. ”

For most people, a set of twenty sets of nine classics is still simply unaffordable.

A set of Pentateuch righteousness is full of 180 volumes, how many can you buy it?

These two sets of books can fit half of the room.

If you can't afford it, you can rent it.

If you have time, you can go to the library to see how much it costs a day, and if you charge a few or more than a dozen a day at a cheaper price, you can always watch it, right? Or get a library card, how much does it cost a month?

If you want to borrow it and take it home to see, pay a deposit, and then you can take it home to see, return it after reading it, and return the deposit as long as there is no damage.

The advantage of renting a book in this way is that a set of scriptures must have one or two hundred volumes, and one volume may be divided into several volumes. If you want to rent one or two books at a time, you can actually rent one or two sets of books in the library at the same time, but not everyone has to rent the same volume.

"We can rent or sell, and if someone is willing to buy it, then he can pay a deposit, and the library will immediately report the order to our printing office, and we can send the book over there."

"Lending?" The emperor was a little surprised, he didn't expect this kind of operation. "If everybody comes to rent, won't anyone buy the printed books?"

Li Xiao told the emperor that this would not be the case, and those who could afford it would of course still buy it, and those who could afford it would give up buying it when they could rent it. Renting books has little impact on selling books, on the contrary, it is another auxiliary way to sell books.

Even if a set of Nine Classics is only sold for twenty times, it is not cheap, and the number of people who can afford it is limited. But if it is changed to rent, a set of books is replaced by hundreds of books, and a book is rented for only a few pennies, then there will be more people who can afford to rent it.

In fact, this is to turn the whole sale into retail, and if there are many people who rent books to read, then rent a few more times, in fact, it is equivalent to selling a set.

It not only expands the market, increases sales, but also increases the influence of books, which is very helpful for the ultimate goal of printing books in the imperial court.

Sell books, rent books.

Li Zhi thought for a while, and his mind finally turned.

"You kid, you have a lot of ideas." Li Zhi happily patted Li Xiao's back.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
