A prime minister of a country who is above hundreds of millions of people shouts "bold" at him, which is much more touching than a seventh-grade sesame official who is one in tens of thousands.

Yang Hao had such a ridiculous idea in an instant. As for panic, worry, fear, fear, fear? There is no zài in him at all.

Even, he blinked blankly, his hands were open upward, as if Jesus was ready to accept the posture of the world, looking at Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang suddenly realized that he had done useless work. This kid can't look at it like an ordinary person at all, in front of him, any respect, any official authority, all of them are useless. The whole oil and salt are not stingy!

He couldn't help but have a headache, pointed at Yang Hao and said, "You...... You really dare to do anything! Don't play dumb with the old man, you should know how big a problem that set of books is! ”

Yang Hao also gave him a fake idiot, and said in a daze: "Is it just a book that has been read by Emperor Qianlong, so no one else is allowed to read it again?" There is no such reason in the world. ”

Li Hongzhang almost rushed over and gave him a heartwarming kick. This kid is hateful, such a shrewd and clever person, saying that he can't think clearly before there is a ghost. …… No, this kid must have done it on purpose! If he does this, it's another temptation!

has been circling around the court of intrigue all his life, and shrewd characters with thirty-six hearts abound. Li Hongzhang can even fight with them, let alone a clever young man.

"Wow! You actually calculated the old man's head. Hmph, it's really bold! ”

Li Hongzhang tapped Yang Hao a few times with his finger and sat back in the chair. Twisting his beard and thinking for a while. Gently patted the armrest: "That's it." The old man can see it. In this world, after all, you young people have to toss. I'm old, and I can't think about many things. But Yang Hao, I want to warn you first, this basket is too big, I'm afraid no one can protect you. ”

Yang Hao's face had a faint arrogance: "The world has changed over time, and in today's world, I'm afraid I can't afford to raise a literary prison anymore." ”

…… This kid knows everything!

Li Hongzhang held his breath in his heart. I almost couldn't help but smash the paperweight over.

It's just too unusual, a literal prison or something, can you say it in front of yourself? If it is known, it will be another storm!

Yes, Yang Hao is telling the truth. The time when the Qing Dynasty ruled the world has long passed, and now most of the people know that the outside world is very vast and foreigners are very powerful. If you think about suppressing public opinion and fooling everyone, you will only make jokes. But those people in the court still don't understand. He thought he was clever and continued to fool the emperor and continue to engage in the imperial examination. Hey. I'm afraid I won't be able to toss it a few times.

The biggest problem with the "Essentials of the Four Books of the King James Library" is that the original texts that were originally forbidden to be tampered with and tampered with are the original. At the beginning, Emperor Qianlong worked so hard, and the efforts of the three generations of emperors of the Qing Dynasty for more than 100 years were desperately distorting history and destroying the orthodox bloodline of Han culture.

After working for so long, it was hard to make a appearance, but in the blink of an eye, the British bombarded a gap with strong ships and artillery.

The Chinese saw the outside world again, the door opened, and countless flies and mosquitoes poured in with the unfamiliar air. Whether it's good or bad, Li Hongzhang can't judge himself. But he knew one thing, that Manchu rule was already in decline to this day. Without him, a pastemaker, he might have returned to the old forests in the Northeast one day to dig ginseng.

However, these words must not be broken. No matter how useless the Manchu Qing is, if you directly cut off his roots and expose his old roots, the counterattack caused will still be very terrifying!

Not everyone has the kind of body to resist pressure. Obviously, this kid of unknown origin in front of him either doesn't know the severity, or he is full of confidence!

Li Hongzhang thought about it and felt that it seemed that he couldn't slap Yang Hao to death. In addition, in the past few months, he has connived at the development of "Guowen Bao" as if he didn't see it, and he also wanted to divert his attention from staring at him, and by the way, to see what the positive effect was.

At least for now, it's ideal.

If you can't kill Yang Hao, you have to find a way to control it. That's what he's always been thinking. After a deep sigh, Li Hongzhang asked, "Where did you get your book?" ”

Yang Hao said: "Printed." ”

Li Hongzhang's shooting is amazing! This answer is simply too classic. While answering his question, it also revealed a very important message.

Printed, that means there is definitely more than one set! Ten sets and hundreds of sets are all him! Then it will not work at all to expect to be cut off from the source.

He looked at Yang Hao again in surprise, and the numbers flashed through his mind like lightning, and finally boiled down to one sentence: "Unfathomable!" ”

There are a total of 463 titles, 20,828 volumes, 11,178 volumes, and several subheadings. Among them, there are 173 kinds of scriptures, 3576 volumes; 70 kinds of history, 6535 volumes; 81 subdivisions, 2866 volumes; 139 collections, 7851 volumes.

Such a canon, to say the least, has tens of millions of words, and with the current level of technology, it is impossible for private capital to print and distribute it. Even if the royal family comes to do this, it will have to go bankrupt!

For example, the lithographic "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books", which will be basically completed this year, took four years and was printed with movable copper type, with a total of 100 sets, almost exhausting all its strength. Coupled with the last printing, it is basically the limit of what the Guangxu Dynasty can do.

But you know, this is the royal practice at no cost. Yang Hao, a businessman, was able to print such a large set of books by himself, and how much it cost, it is impossible to calculate.

"Do you have a sample book?"

Li Hongzhang decided to seriously figure out this matter. He can't tolerate too many uncontrollable factors under his nose.

Of course, Yang Hao was prepared, and he pulled it in the car.

The messenger at the door did as he was told, and in a short time he came in with a heavy box. When I opened it, there were dozens of books inside, and they were all different! In addition to the "Essentials of the Four Libraries of the King James Dynasty" just mentioned, there is also a miniature version of the edited "Four Libraries"!

In addition, there are still miniatures of the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books", "Tripitaka", "Daozang", "Twenty-four History", and "Zhuzi Collection...... There are many kinds of patterns.

The more Li Hongzhang looked at it, the more frightened he became! So much so that the hands holding the thick books couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This box of books represents a terrible power! He can easily do things that countless people can't do, and do it better than anyone else! Dozens of tomes of classic anthologies, each of which was enough to bankrupt the rich of the world, are now concentrated in one box and taken out of the hands of a young man!

Not to mention anything else, the "Siku Quanshu" is enough to fill 128 bookshelves and use one building to store them. Since it was compiled to this day, there are only seven sets in total. Four sets were destroyed because of the war, and now there are only three sets left.

Although this set of books is openly borrowed and copied, it is impossible for ordinary people to make a complete set.

But here in Yang Hao, he saw a kind of miniature version of 500 copies. Only three bookshelves are needed to let go. Then the price must not be too expensive, and the wealthy families who are a little richer can afford it.

The same is true of the Tripitaka and the Daozang. Today, there are not too many people who believe in Buddhism. It is so easy to invite a set to go home and worship and read, how much temptation there is for them, it is simply incalculable.

Li Hongzhang looked at it, suddenly came to his senses, gently patted the thick book that exuded the fragrance of ink, and sighed leisurely: "What a huge deal!" Little guy, don't you want to serve the gold and silver treasures of the Great Qing Kingdom in one pot? ”

Speaking of which, every qiē is money!

Li Hongzhang wants to collect every kind of book in this box, and he can read it at any time in the study. Nothing else, so convenient!

And how many rich people in the world can't understand it and want to fill the scene? Guangjin Shang must have 1,800 numbers, right? What about the salt merchants, silk merchants, and tea merchants in the south who have passed down several dynasties? There have to be thousands, right? There are tens of thousands of officials in the country, right? Who can't afford a set of books in this small print?

Even if they can't afford it themselves, they can naturally find someone to buy it for him.

What about temples? What about Taoist temples? What about government school? Count on your fingers, just those who have the ability to buy an entire study room will have to be thousands!

It's good to get a study room for 10,000 taels of silver, how much does it cost in total?! 100 million? That's more than the taxes paid in a year in the Qing Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang had no doubt that with Yang Hao's cunning, he would not sell it cheaply at all.

Yang Hao replied with a smile: "I'm also contributing to the spread of Chinese culture, isn't it?" At present, Western civilization is surging on strong ships and cannons, and foreign priests are everywhere on a rampage, pulling sheep and brainwashing. As conscious Chinese, we have the responsibility and obligation to exert our strength to resist their cultural aggression and protect the inheritance and continuation of Chinese cultural orthodoxy. ”

Li Hongzhang nodded: "Well, you have a point." If you used to need a one-foot-thick classic, now you can print it with just one finger thick. The low price alone is enough to make it possible for many future students who could not afford to go to school or study to have the possibility of progress. This is indeed a great thing. So, how much do you plan to sell for your complete set of "Siku Quanshu"? ”

The full version, naturally the kind of Wenyuan Pavilion, 128 Nanmu bookshelves, limited production of 20 sets, priced at 60 million soft sister coins!

Yang Hao estimated that he could get it for 30 million, but if he wanted to sell it to the Qing Dynasty, it would definitely not be cheap.

He thought about it as if he was entangled, and said, "Why do you want to start shooting with 10,000 taels of gold?" This is the ...... of the "Siku Quanshu". ”

Li Hongzhang didn't think it was expensive! You Ran nodded: "It's quite suitable." Well, the old man promised you to go there when the time comes. But for those of the 500 copies, you have to send me a set! ”

Yang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, you can decorate a separate study room for you, no problem!" ”

Li Hongzhang said twice: "Wow, the old man is waiting." ”

Bideger, who was standing next to him and watching coldly, clearly noticed that between the old and the young foxes, there were invisible sparks scurrying around! (To be continued......)
