Chapter 782: Fame
It is not possible to sell paper directly.
In this era of a hundred schools of thought, directly selling paper is an enemy for Li Yunze, who is engaged in education.
There are hundreds of schools of thought contending, there are hundreds.
However, the source of students is fixed, and there are only those who have money, leisure, and resources to read and write, and providing paper is equivalent to helping other families improve the quality of education, and such things naturally cannot be done.
The appearance of paper could not be wasted in vain, so Li Yunze arranged to sell books.
Sell these attractive scripts first, and promote the official book by the way.
Lu Guo can afford to buy it here, and basically bought it.
But if you want to spread this to other countries, you need help.
As the so-called dozing time, someone brought a pillow, and the caravan took the initiative to come to the door is a good channel.
As for the monopoly rights, Li Yunze gave them the monopoly of the book "Zhou Mu Wang Yaochi Huixi Queen Mother" from Wei Guo to Qi State, and only gave them the opportunity to sell it.
The price is not high, and it is also stipulated that the price at which the caravan can be sold cannot be too high.
After all, what he wants is promotion, not making money.
The caravan steward responded after a little consideration.
He has a vision, and he can see that this thing has a market prospect.
Of course, the lack of weight is also extremely important.
In these years, the consumption and cost of long-distance transportation is extremely high, and the tax on the checkpoints of various countries along the way, as well as the money from the many thieves in the mountains and wilderness, is a huge expenditure.
Therefore, caravans are usually sold high-value goods, such as grain and grass, which are of low value but occupy almost no space.
It's just a few hundred books, not worth mentioning.
After agreeing on it, the caravan manager finally asked the doubt in his heart, "Sir, why is part of the seal character missing in this book?" ”
The script given by Li Yunze was actually written in two characters.
The main article is naturally a official book, and the font standard is large.
Next to the official book, it is written in a large seal, and the font is very small, but it can barely be seen clearly.
The way of writing in this era is from the top down.
In the face of the inquiry, Li Yunze did not speak, but gave Wen Mao a look.
After the run-in period, Wen Mao's cooperation has been very skilled.
Immediately waved his hand and responded, "This is a matter for me and other literati, and you don't need to ask." ”
The reason why a paragraph is not translated is to match the tie-in "Lishu Quanjie", which has all the comparisons between all Lishu fonts and large seals.
As for the ultimate goal, it is actually to promote the popularization of official books.
The caravan group couldn't figure out Li Yunze's ultimate goal, but they could also understand that this was a new business, and they couldn't say that they would be able to make good gains, so they were naturally willing to cooperate.
When the people in the caravan took away the hundreds of scripts and official books, Wen Mao, who had sent people back, twisted around for a while, and then asked with some uncertainty, "Mountain chief, where is the monarch?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yunze had already waved his hand very simply, "I have already said it, I am not interested in being a slaughterer for an official." ”
Although the news of papermaking has not yet had time to spread all over the world.
But at least in the country of Lu, in this Qufu city, it has long been known.
Such a cultural breakthrough, coupled with the outrage of the Queen Mother of Zhou Mu Wang Yaochi Huixi, naturally attracted everyone's attention.
According to the rules of this era, even if he is not too old, many people already think that Li Yunze, who has devoted himself to education, should be called a son.
Since he is qualified to be called a son, according to the rules, the monarch naturally wants to recruit.
In these years, there is no such thing as a royal examination based on ability.
If you want to be an official, you must either be born in a noble family and win by blood.
Either it is famous and makes people take the initiative to solicit it.
Li Yunze became famous, and Duke Lu wanted to ask Li Yunze to be the chief secretary in accordance with the established rules of this era.
Da Si Kou was a nickname in later generations, corresponding to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who was in charge of the law and criminal law.
There is no doubt that this is a high-level situation.
It's a pity that Li Yunze has no interest in this, so he simply refused.
However, at the same time as he resigned, he recommended Wen Mao.
For Li Yunze's recommendation, Wen Mao was really surprised.
When he learned the news, he even thought that he had heard it wrong, and he should have had a grudge against Kong Laoer.
Now that I think about it, is it possible that I am a villain?
Li Yunze glanced at him and said, "In the future, you will be a young man, don't lose the reputation of the academy." ”
Han had nine qing, and in the Spring and Autumn period, Zhou Tianzi also had six qing, the head of the six qings was named Zheng, and Shaozheng was Zheng's adjutant deputy.
This position is not low.
Wen Mao's face showed gratitude, and when he was about to say some words of gratitude, he heard Li Yunze continue, "But so-and-so is still your creditor, and the agreement between us will continue." You can't let go of the work of the college. By the way, the story of "King Chu Ling's Dream of Wushan Goddess", you have to hurry up and copy it. By the time the caravan arrives again, at least three hundred sets will be prepared. ”
King Zhou Mu's story has been told for a long time, Li Yunze naturally knows the habits of readers, no matter how good the same story is, he will naturally get tired of listening to it for a long time.
If you want to keep these grandfathers to continue to consume, you have to come up with a better story.
This "King Chu Ling's Dream Meeting Wushan Goddess" is the second story prepared by Li Yunze.
Originally, it was supposed to be King Chu Xiang, but King Chu Xiang's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was still in a liquid state, so naturally he had to change his choice.
Of course, it's just a change of actor, nothing else has changed.
In those days, there was no electronic network, no printing press, and if you wanted to write a book, you had to use a pen to copy it.
It's easy to say that you can copy a book, but you can copy hundreds of books
If it weren't for the help of those newly recruited students, if it weren't for Li Yunze's recommendation of himself as Shaozheng, if it wasn't for the debt
Wen Mao has long since stopped picking a child!
In Li Yunze's opinion, this matter is not a big deal, but he doesn't know that there is a small mistake.
The mistake is that the king of Chu is surrounded by Xiongwei. It was called Xiong Wai before, and after succeeding to the throne, he changed his name to the current king of Chu, and he is not dead!
Li Yunze really forgot, or was too lazy to check the information, it was not worth mentioning to him, but for Chu State. Especially this King of Chu is still a cautious eye
Wen Mao, whose eyes were squinted, was in the academy lighting precious candles and copying books overnight, and the caravan had already arrived at Linzi City, the capital of Qi State.
Compared with Qufu, Linzi City is really too prosperous.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and there are countless shops on both sides.
The various goods brought by the caravan along the way were mainly sold here.
There is no way, at this time, the national strength of the Qi State is strong, the monarch is determined to forge ahead and wants to reproduce the style of the overlord of the year, and there are Cui Zhu, Qingfeng, Yan Ying, Sima Sui Tho and Liang Qiu and other famous ministers in the court, plus the legacy left by Guan Zhong back then, it is definitely a top power that can compete with Jin and Chu in this era.
The powerhouses of this era are the Jin State, the Chu State and the Qi State.
As for the Qin State, the Jin State couldn't even get out of Hangu Pass, and it would not gradually become stronger until Shang Ying entered Qin.
The caravan is here in Linzi City, so naturally there are also partners.
Their partner in Linzi City is also very strong, it is the famous Yan Ying, that is, Yan Zi.
I don't dare to say that I am better than Guan Zhong, but there is absolutely no problem in terms of ability.
On this day, when Yan Ying returned from the palace and returned to the mansion, he saw the gifts sent by the caravan.
At his position, he naturally didn't have much interest in goods or anything, and just glanced at it, and was ready to order someone to send everything into the storehouse.
However, just as the servants were packing up their things and preparing to send them to the warehouse, Yan Ying shouted, "Slow." ”
I saw Yan Ying with a puzzled look on her face, and stepped forward to pick up a book among the piles of gifts.
He had never seen a book bound in fine linen gods, or he had never seen such a paper similar to silk silk, but it was much thinner and much stronger than silk.
"What is this?"
The servants looked at each other, and naturally no one could respond.
Yan Ying, who simply sat down and began to open the pages of the book, waved his hand and beckoned, "Go and call the person who gave the gift." ”
The caravan manager is negotiating business, hoping to sell his goods at a higher price, and buy Qi specialties such as sea salt at a cheaper price.
When he saw the doorman in Yan Ying's mansion and said that Xiangguo invited him over, the whole person was also confused.
Gift-giving is a routine operation, and the gifts are given according to the standard, and there are no rare treasures.
And Yan Ying is Xiangguo again, when will his identity be valued by Xiangguo?
I came to Xiangguo's Mansion with full doubts, and when I went in to meet Xiangguo, I saw Xiangguo sitting there at first sight, turning the pages of the book in his hand and laughing.
"Meet Sangkook."
"No need to be polite." Yan Ying smiled and waved her hand, "Sit down and talk." ”
Some of the stewards who were sincerely frightened, after sitting down, saw Yan Ying shaking the book in his hand and asked, "What is this?" ”
I see. ’
The manager who had the answer in his heart quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the ins and outs of the book.
Yan Ying didn't speak, just sat there quietly and listened carefully.
Yan Ying is interested in the story of "Zhou Mu Wang Yaochi Huixi Queen Mother", but that is the degree of interest.
What really attracted him was the material of the book, the paper, and the people who created a whole new set of texts.
As a capable minister, Yan Ying immediately understood the important use of paper, and for the dissemination of knowledge and the carrying of information, compared with traditional bamboo slips, there has been a leap forward.
There is no doubt that paper is definitely a good thing, as long as the cost is not high, it will inevitably bring a powerful boost to the Qi country.
In his heart, he had already made up his mind to put the paper in Qi Guo's pocket.
In addition, it is Li Yunze, who created a new set of characters.
Compared with the crooked hieroglyphs, the first impression of Lishu is that it is beautiful and beautiful.
To be able to create such a new set of characters must be a great talent.
In this era, if you want to make the country strong, talent is an indispensable and important factor.
When the manager explained the matter clearly, he nodded his head, "I see, it seems that there is an amazing talent in Lu Country." ”
