If it weren't for the financial deficit, he would not have racked his brains with Tian Feng and others in the mansion a few days ago to negotiate the matter of commercial taxes, and he would not have let the printing press come out so early.

However, it can't be said that printing technology can not be kept secret, and the huge profits from the sale of books are only in the early stage, Deng Ji just wants to make some subsidies by making a hammer deal, in order to alleviate the financial difficulties of the government this year, Zhen Yan can make the profits out is an unexpected joy, Deng Ji said to everyone: "Changsha businessman Liu Xu risked life and death, and traveled to the rivers and lakes to invite shipwrights and buy ship materials for Sizhou. After today, the firm can choose a site to build a bookstore in Luoyang, print and sell books, and all the profits in the first three years will go to the government, and the subsequent gains can be shared by the Liu family and the Zhen family, and the government will no longer take advantage of the business tax! ”

Three years later, the bookstore will definitely have a lot of competitors, although it is rare to make huge profits, but there is an official background, but it is a long-term livelihood, so it is okay to share the profits with Liu Xu, Zhen Yan solemnly thanked.

Deng Ji said again: "The first batch of books sold in the bookstore, with my intentions, first imitate the books of the Seven Classics made by Xiping Stone outside the Taixue Gate, and each printed six or seven thousand copies; In addition, there are more than ten books that are difficult to find and lonely, each printed thousands of copies, and sent merchants to sell them all over the world. ”

Only then did Cai Yan understand the purpose of her man leading her to Zhen's Mansion -- when it came to collecting books, her deceased father Cai Yong was almost incomparable, and the part that was given to Wang Cang before was still in Luoyang, and the Xiping Stone Book was engraved by Cai Yong.

Cai Yan has been smart since childhood, proficient in music and literature, and has an outstanding memory, which is Cai Yong's books and articles that were destroyed in the war. She can also recite hundreds of articles word for word. If it is said that it is necessary to select the fine books that scholars most want to obtain from Cai Yong's collection. Naturally, she is most familiar with the situation.

Knowing the reason, Cai Yan spoke: "My father was a wonderful music during his lifetime, and there were many stories in the world about Jiaoweiqin and Keting Diya. Scholars love music and law, but there are many good laws, and my father wrote the article "Qin Exercises", which may be printed. ”

Deng Ji didn't understand this, but his eyes lit up when he saw Zhen Yan, a Confucian businessman. Nodding violently, I thought I wouldn't worry about selling, so I agreed.

Although he was born in a businessman, Zhen Yao was also full of poetry and books, and participated in the discussion with great interest, and quickly finalized more than ten books with Cai Yan and Zhen Yan, plus the text of the Six Classics, the first batch of books to be sold at a high price was enough.

Deng Ji was ambitious to print a large number of books and sell them, knocking on the bamboo poles of the world's corporals. However, the seven classics engraved on the Xiping Stone Classic are the seven Confucian classics of "Lu Shi", "Shangshu", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Ram Biography", "Rituals" and "Analects", which took eight years to completely engrave. There is already a lot of content, after Cai Yan proposed "Qin Exercise". A total of nearly ten books, such as "University", "The Biography of Gu Liang", "Mencius" and "Erya", were also agreed, which was already sufficient. If it weren't for the fact that Sizhou is now full of craftsmen, it has been recruiting carvers since the decision to make a new waist card, and Deng Ji does not require how beautiful the handwriting of the first batch of books is, and can temporarily train a group of novices, which is simply a time-consuming project.

It's just that the decision was about to be made, and a crisp voice came from outside the door: "Historical Records"! ”

Deng Ji didn't know why, Zhen Yao stroked his forehead and sighed: "Sister, the book that you want to sell for the first time must not be leaked, the time is urgent, and there should not be too many words." "Zuo Biography" 190,000 words, I haven't mentioned it, "Historical Records" more than 500,000 words, when will it be published? ”

Obediently understood what Deng Ji meant, Cai Yan, Zhen Yan, and Zhen Yao had already excluded the long article, the longest "Etiquette" was more than 56,000 words, and the least "University" was only more than 1,700 words. Zhen Mi always had to pay attention to the maid and Deng Zhen, but she didn't expect this, she was moved to hear this, and she mustered up the courage to interject outside the door.

In fact, Deng Ji only understands the approximately, and he doesn't know how many words there are in each book, but at this time, presumably the beauty outside the door is embarrassed, and he took the initiative to speak out and said: "I make editions in Luoyang Bookstore, and all books need to be punctuated and broken." The first batch of books were first sold at a high price, and when the price of the books began to fall, the military books were made and sold under the rule. ”

After Zhen Yan nodded his promise, Deng Ji said again: "Luoyang Bookstore, I still have two plans for profit." One wants to establish a country in June, but there are very few people who have heard of my new system, and when the books are printed, the details of the new system of the Great Yuan should be attached to the main text, so that my new system will be widely known and commented on by the corporal of the world! ”

The introduction of the Dayuan system was added to these classic books, so that it was widely publicized, but it was not because Deng Zhijun could think of it.

"The system of the two villagers, the people of Siliang are still suspicious, and it is difficult to know the affairs of Luoyang and the whole country in the border areas. After the first sale of each book in the bookstore is profitable, the government will make a monthly newspaper to announce the recent internal and external events in a plain and easy-to-understand manner, and distribute it to the pavilions so that the people can hear it. ”

Maybe this will open up the people's wisdom? Zhen Yan bowed again and gave a salute: "Today, I know the ambition of the king, which is difficult to reach through the ages!" I only hate a certain person who is delayed in business affairs on weekdays, and it is difficult to serve the car before driving, in order to relieve your worries! ”

The status of merchants in this world is low, when Zhen was in Yecheng, he only let the housekeeper and slave come forward in business, although others knew that his family was doing business, but at least there was a fig leaf. After being moved to Luoyang by Deng Jiqiang, Zhen partnered with the government to set up a commercial house, but even the last fig leaf was gone, Zhen Yan was the principal of the commercial bank, and he had completely become a businessman, but fortunately, Sizhou did not discriminate against businessmen.

Before Zhen Yan promised the third sister to Xu Huang, he had already been tied to death with Sizhou, listening to his current words, it seemed that he saw that Xinyuan had an unlimited future, and wanted to ask for an official position.

Deng Ji thought about it, but he still focused on appeasement, so he smiled and said: "Jun is dedicated to the affairs of the business business, and has relieved me a lot, and if he makes things hard, I am afraid that my mother will also scold me for being too harsh!" ”

With a smile, Zhen's mother happily answered and said that she didn't dare, Zhen Yan was already slightly disappointed, Deng Jicai pointed to Zhen Yao and continued: "However, the younger brother of Guanjun is a talented person, serving his mother extremely filial, although he is not weak, he has already known poetry and books, and his human feelings are not bad at all. If you are interested, you can enter the official temple of Luoyang County to observe political affairs with the county order, and after the crown ceremony, you can share my worries! ”

Zhen Yan didn't want to be a leader for himself, with his promise, Zhen's mother and Zhen Yan suddenly turned happy, and urgently ordered Zhen Yao to give a big gift and thank you.

At this point, the matter is almost over, Deng Ji chatted with Zhen's mother for a few more words, and then got up with Cai Yan to say goodbye.

When she went out of the hall, Zhen Mi was a little flustered in her salute, and after Cai Yan returned the salute, she took Deng Zhen from the maid with a smile.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao brothers were sent out again.

The ox cart started slowly, and when the Zhen brothers returned to their homes, they could no longer be seen, Cai Yan poked his head out of the car with his daughter in his arms and shouted, "General! ”

Deng Ji drove his horse close to the ox cart, bent over and attached his ear to it, Cai Yan quickly glanced at the surrounding black iron guards, and asked softly: "The general looks at the beauty of the aunt of the Zhen family, but he wants to be included in the room?" ”

Hearing this, Deng Ji almost fell directly from the horse, and asked in surprise: "Why do you say this?" ”

Seeing his embarrassed appearance with red ears and red ears, Cai Yan couldn't help but "giggle" out laughing, and after a long break, Fang rolled his eyes and asked, "If it's not like this, why do you look at her so often?" Don't you ignore indecency? provokes other people's aunts to be shy and unruly. ”

Deng Ji couldn't answer.

Here Deng Ji was teased by Cai Yan, when the Zhen brothers returned home, Zhen's mother was also asking her daughter: "How is Aunt Mi watching Deng Yuanjun?" ”

It was the age to be married, and he was burned by Deng Ji's eyes before, and today he was extremely embarrassed, hearing that his mother suddenly asked like this, Zhen Mi's cheeks were very hot, and he said urgently: "What does Mother mean?" The child is going to see his sister-in-law! ”

It turned out that Zhen Yan's wife was pregnant, and it was difficult to come to the front hall to entertain guests, so it was Zhen's mother and Zhen Mi who came out to accompany Cai Yan today. Zhen Mi resisted, ignoring the astonishment of Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao's brothers, and hurriedly rushed to the backyard in the name of seeing her sister-in-law.

Deng Ji has a wife, and if the younger sister is allowed to be with him, she can only be a first-class concubine. However, if you can get married, it will be much more useful than the third brother-in-law's expedition to Xu Huang, the governor of the northern capital, and the huge rich Zhen family will no longer have to worry about becoming a slaughtered fat sheep in Sizhou in the future, and people are about to become emperors, and those who can enter the palace are afraid of being laughed at because of their concubines? It's just that I'm not sure what my mother meant, for fear that she will be scolded for being flattering after she puts it forward, Zhen Yan pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Mother?" ”

Zhen's mother raised her hand to stop him, and then asked her two sons: "From your perspective of the two, how is the situation of Deng Yuanjun now?" Can Sizhou be long-lasting? ”

Zhen Yan thought about it, and replied truthfully according to his heart: "Deng Yuanjun defeated Cao Cao last year, retired Yuan Gong, Pingxi Liang, the strength has been achieved, and no one in the world dares to insult again!" If there are no major changes, Sizhou can be worry-free for at least decades! ”

Zhen Yao replied: "Liyuan new system, recently everyone in Luoyang has discussed, I don't know how to do it, but those who hear it are all virtuous, if they really have to act like this in the future, no one can be the enemy again, and the soldiers will be wiped out sooner or later!" ”

Zhen's mother sighed lightly: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, the monarch limited his rights, and this matter was unpleasant. However, his right to give up is like this, and he is kind to the people everywhere, or he will eventually build a prosperous era on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and it is rare to be kind to our businessmen. On the other hand, Yuan's original strength has declined, or it is still difficult to defeat Cao Mengde, in the past, Deng Yuanjun and Montenegro broke Yecheng together, so that my family had to abandon Yuan to go south, and was treated heavily, which is really a blessing! When Aunt Mi was young, there were people with good looks who looked at her face and said that this woman would be a noble woman in the future. Today, the king looked at each other frequently, and spoke back, when he was moved, he will not ascend the throne in the future, if he is allowed to be with Mi Gu, he is getting the words of the person who responds. ”

Zhen Yan promised, since it was her mother who spoke in person, she was cheeky and said that she would personally open her mouth to offer her sister.

――――

General Wen Chou was killed in battle, and the rout fled to the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was furious when he heard it, but at this time, the scout who went to the north bank of the Yellow River to investigate the small wing had just returned.

Yuan Shao hurriedly summoned questions, and the scout leader replied: "There is nothing unusual outside Liyang City, only the four doors are closed, and villains are not allowed to enter. ”
