162.Chapter 162: The business is bleak
Wonderful, a group of wonderful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After coming to Sinong Temple, Tang Zhou found that the people in Sinong Temple were really wonderful, that Zhao Wu played chess with others, it was okay to win, and he gave you a meal, but if he lost, he had to pull you all the way down, and if he won, he could offset the meal he had lost before.
This is simply a rogue act, in this way, didn't Zhao Wu do some business?
It's okay for Zhao Wu to play chess with others, Tang Zhou knows his temperament and wins him a game and loses a game against him, and if he wants to play life or death, he can't help himself.
That Qian Mi is purely a person who falls against the wind, as long as he is his boss, he is inferior to everyone when he sees him, he is completely a peacemaker.
As for Qing Luo Shi of Sinong Temple, he locked himself in his room every day after coming to Sinong Temple, and no one saw him, and he didn't care what Zhao Wu and those guards were making trouble outside, of course, the premise was that he didn't see or affect him.
In just a few days, Tang Zhou has already found that this Sinong Temple is really very idle, and there is nothing to do until the busy farming season.
This is also a good thing for Tang Zhou, but seeing such a situation, his heart is not very comfortable, Sinong Temple is in charge of the world's agricultural affairs, even if it is not very busy now, but these people can't understand the hardships and difficulties of farmers?
Is there a way to improve farm tools and improve some varieties?
Many merchants brought back seeds from the countries of the Western Regions, shouldn't they find a way to build some experimental fields?
In Tang Zhou's opinion, these should be things that Sinong Temple should do with greater efforts, but in the past few days, he has not found anyone to mention this, these people are either busy with their own affairs, or they are looking for someone to play chess in Manong Temple.
It can be said that Sinong Temple is lifeless, and there are many reasons for this, it may be that the imperial court does not care enough about Sinong Temple, so that the people here are not passionate, or it may be that these people are not very interested in farming, and they come here purely to catch ducks on the shelves.
For example, Zhao Wu, he is clearly a military general, and he was assigned here as a last resort, and it is impossible for him to be here to relate to the welfare of the peasants.
Tang Zhou felt that it was necessary for Sinong Temple to select some people who were really willing and pragmatic, and these people had really experienced the hardships of the peasants, but although he had this idea, he did not put it forward rashly.
A suggestion may involve the interests of many people, and when the interests of some people are involved, it will inevitably encounter resistance, so how to implement it and how to implement it must have enough planning and the right time.
Tang Zhou just came to Sinong Temple a few days ago, and put forward this suggestion, which will inevitably be disliked by people, and will be thought that Tang Zhou is negating the merits of Luo Shi and others before.
Moreover, how can the advice of a boy who has only been here for a few days be trusted?
Tang Zhou didn't rush to be too sharp, he just integrated himself into it first, so as to better understand everything about Sinong Temple, and just when Tang Zhou did this, a super large royal bookstore in Chang'an City opened.
After the opening of the Royal Bookstore, everything was done according to Tang Zhou's previous suggestions, and the prices of most books did not drop much, only on some books that the powerful families did not care much about, and of course, the book lending system was also slowly implemented.
It's just that after the Royal Bookstore has been in operation for a while, Princess Danyang found that she still encountered some problems that she hadn't thought of before, so she hurriedly sent someone to invite Tang Zhou.
----------------------------------------
The Royal Bookstore is located on one of the most prosperous streets in Chang'an City, covering an area of five acres, of course, three acres of land are book stacks, used to store printed books, two of which are real bookstores, with bookshelves placed in rows and rows, and books are stacked in the middle, looking at it, it is exciting.
Even if you don't read much, you suddenly see so many books, and I'm afraid you will think to yourself, how nice it would be if you could have such a study?
Tang Zhou didn't have this idea when he walked in, because the books here are not like the later generations, one by one, and most of the books here are folded or scrolled, and it is really difficult for people like Tang Zhou who are used to seeing such books in later generations to have a love for these things.
Entering the bookstore, the people who had been waiting for a long time led Tang Zhou to Princess Danyang's study in the backyard, Princess Danyang's study was very clean, and it was naturally full of books, but because of the relationship that had just been printed, there was a slightly strong ink fragrance in it.
After Princess Danyang saw Tang Zhou, she invited Tang Zhou to sit down and said, "Please come because the bookstore has encountered some problems in its operation, and I want to hear your opinion." ”
Tang Zhou had already discovered some information when he came, but he didn't rush to speak, but asked, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess wants to ask?" ”
"Three problems, the first one, there are too many books and too miscellaneous, although there is already a classification, but it is still too troublesome to find, you need to stretch out a scroll to know if it is the book that the guest wants, and it is a waste of time to roll the scroll, and it is very easy to damage the book."
Seeing this, Princess Danyang continued: "The second question, after the book is lent out, although we have stated that if the book is lost or damaged, it will be compensated, and if the time limit for borrowing the book is exceeded, it will be fined, but even so, there are still books that are damaged or lost, but the people who borrow the books are all poor places, let them lose money, they can afford it, but if they don't pay, the rules are broken." ”
Tang Zhou smiled lightly, still did not answer, Princess Danyang saw that Tang Zhou was not in a hurry, and it was difficult for him to think about this question, so she said the third question: "The third question, the bookstore is bleak, although the powerful and the family did not launch a large-scale boycott, but they adopted a non-cooperative attitude, the powerful and the family are the people who need the most books, but they buy books from other bookstores, and they don't come to our royal bookstore at all, and those poor people can afford to buy our books, although the royal bookstore is run by the imperial court." And because of movable type printing, the cost is much lower, but even so, if it can't be operated, it won't be laughed at, and it won't achieve the goal that the saint wants to achieve. ”
After Princess Danyang finished talking about the three questions, she looked at Tang Zhou with a pair of pretty eyes, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said: "Seeing that you look calm, I guess I don't think the three problems encountered by this princess are difficult to solve, so can this princess listen to your little marquis's high opinion now?" ”
Speaking of this, Princess Danyang added: "The saint is also very distressed about these three problems, if you can solve them, the saint will be indispensable for your reward." ”
