Chapter 106 The Book of Welfare and Profitability
Bailiyun smiled: "I never do things that I am not sure of, I will do what I say!" ”
"The reason why it was very difficult for the predecessors to write books and biographies was very difficult. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info partly because writing a good book is very energy-consuming, but also because you can't find a good way to get it. In particular, the transcription of texts is too time-consuming. Although there is already engraving printing, one is not yet popular, and the other is actually too time-consuming even for engraving printing! ”
(Note: There has been some controversy about the exact date of woodblock printing, but it is certainly ten years before Zhenguan.) Here for the needs of the plot, it is set in the Wude years! )
Yu Shinan nodded and said: "That's right, that's the reason, I'm also worried about this time, presumably with your righteousness, and the welfare of these envious people, there will be a lot of fellow people who come to defect, at that time, if you are weak or don't have time, it will be a mouthful." ”
Bai Liyun nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I already have a perfect plan." Recently, I have developed a new printing technique that is more convenient than the existing woodblock printing technique by sorting out the knowledge taught by my master! It was completely completed a few days ago, and it is definitely more convenient. Coupled with the innovation of paper, it is more than enough to satisfy everyone's desire to write a book. ”
In order to avoid what people associate with the name, Bailiyun did not say the name of movable type printing. Although this move may be a bit petty, since everyone is doing this, why does Bailiyun have to dedicate it plainly? After thinking about it, Bailiyun still decided to hide the name.
Yu Shinan immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, this technique is wonderful, there is no disease, you are really the gospel of the literary world!" ”
"In the first year after the academy was officially established, I would give priority to the works of the top 10 gentlemen who had entered the academy first, and the first 1,000 copies would be published. In the future, a batch will be selected for publication based on the recommendation of the students. How is it, Mr. Yu, are you interested? At the end, Bai Liyun asked Yu Shinan with a smile.
Yu Shinan was very surprised, and then shouted: "Of course I'm interested, what's the matter, do you want to print it for me?" ”
Bailiyun said with a smile: "Then your old man should be ready!" As the first gentleman to stand up and cheer for my academy, I naturally want to come to your old man's house first! I'm going to leave you here, and now that the technology is mature, I'll take your manuscript and make the first first issue. ”
"When your manuscript arrives, I'll start publishing it. If you send it today, I'll give you 2,000 copies in two months, and I'll make a name for you! ”
Yu Shinan didn't know what to say, and asked tremblingly, "Is this true?" ”
Bai Liyun pursed his lips and said, "Hey, thanks to your old hand today, you helped me and reciprocated the favor, how can I deceive you?" Naturally it's true, I Bailiyun never lies, every word I say is true, every word is engraved with iron and silver, it can't be true! ”
Yu Shinan laughed, put his hand on his chest, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect the old man to have this day, hahaha, the sky treats me well, and the old man has no regrets in this life!" Originally, I thought that I would not be able to complete my dream of writing a book until I died, but I didn't expect that now because of no illness, you have advanced so much time, which is really my lucky star! ”
"The old man has eight volumes of manuscripts, totaling more than 100,000 words, and now I will go and get them!" With that, he turned around and went home.
Bailiyun hurriedly stopped and said, "Hey, Master Yu, this matter has been decided, why rush for a while, just wait for someone to bring it tomorrow!" ”
Yu Shinan waved his hand and said: "Hey, how can you not be in a hurry, the old man can't wait for a moment now, you are still young, you don't understand the feelings of people like me who are over half a hundred years old, I have been looking forward to this matter for a lifetime, and finally have a bright day, how can I wait any longer?" When will this manuscript be delivered to you, and when will my heart settle down! ”
Bailiyun smiled: "It's really not in a hurry, it's not too late for you to wait for me to finish this last surprise." ”
Yu Shinan thought about it and said, "It's okay, then you come quickly!" ”
Bai Liyun nodded yes and said with a smile: "Okay, my last surprise may not be anything to a person like you, but it is indeed my heart and guarantee for all the selfless scholars who will come to my academy in the future." ”
Bai Liyun said solemnly: "That is, from the moment you join my academy, you are the person of my Dawn Academy. I will never treat my own people badly, and all gentlemen can bring their families to settle down in my college. I promise, the food and shelter are not necessarily luxurious, but they are never too shabby. Moreover, in the future, the products of all the industries under the name of my Baili Mansion will be supplied to all the gentlemen who have worked hard for the academy free of charge as soon as possible. ”
"Maybe you don't quite understand what this means now, but you have to know that almost all of my industries are new industries, and they cover everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to all kinds of living expenses, entertainment and luxury goods. That is to say, basically, in the future, except for the necessary travel entanglement, all the living expenses don't have to worry about anymore, I Baili Mansion, no, it should be said that Shuguang Academy is all in charge! ”
Yu Shinan was surprised: "No disease, are you serious?" ”
Bailiyun nodded and said, "Naturally! ”
Yu Shinan suddenly gasped, very surprised. Others don't know, but as a high-ranking official, he knows something, knows the current situation of some Bailiyun, and knows how much property he has in Chang'an City. But even so, the expenses of so many people, as well as industries such as academies, are enough to bear for hundreds of miles.
Yu Shinan pulled him over and asked in a low voice: "With such a big expenditure, you kid still has so many industrial operations now, and the bottomless pit of the academy, can you afford it?" ”
Bai Liyun smiled lightly, he knew that Yu Shinan still didn't see the huge profits and the greasy recruitment of talents. Especially the salt business on the other side, it is a money-absorbing weapon.
Coupled with all kinds of luxury goods that will appear in the future, who can afford this thing these days? Naturally, they are the children of the family, and some of them spend money, and antiques are the most expensive, but the family has the most antiques. Although the value of luxury goods is relatively less than that of antiques, you can't stand more, you know, these luxury goods will be consumed, and you will have to buy them again when you run out!
And precisely, the most important thing in the Tang Dynasty is that these people are stupid and rich families, as long as you have good things, you can spend money like running water. Even if there is an exhibition or auction in the future, the money will fly over with more money, and the cellar of the Bailiyun family may not be enough.
