"Liang Xiao, are you kidding? A book of 200 texts, there is a kind of you selling me! Duanmu Yuncheng roared.

The book industry, which is considered the pillar industry of the Duanmu family, must ensure a monopoly position with other families no matter what.

It is precisely because of the book industry that these families will be united, because there are enough common interests.

The people of Dachu also looked incredulous: "The Marquis of Lanling laughed, a book has dozens or hundreds of pages, and the cost of labor and the four treasures of the study alone is more than two hundred texts, right?" ”

Liang Xiao said categorically: "I said that it only sells for 200 Wen, which is 200 Wen, and the price will never rise!" ”

The audience was in an uproar!

200 Wen that never rises in price?

Without mentioning labor, he doesn't take into account the situation of soaring prices?

"Of course, there are occasional price reductions!" Liang Xiao suddenly laughed.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

There is also the possibility of a price reduction??

Xing Feng, Tuoba Jun and the others clenched the teacup in their hands and stared at Liang Xiao.

It must have something to do with the newspaper!

But among the people who can guess the reason at the moment, only Xing Feng, Lin Shi, Gongsun Yue and others are not in a hurry at all.

Several of them do not run the book industry, the book industry has always been controlled by literati families, even in Bashu, the Gongsun family will use the book industry as a concession to win the support of those families.

"My Liang Xiao has only one purpose to make money at a loss, that is, to make more and more people in Dazhou can afford to read, and more and more people will serve the country in the future, that's all!"

Losing money and making money?

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Tuoba Jun and the others frowned, staring at Liang Xiao, of course they didn't believe it in their hearts.

In their opinion, Liang Xiao is far more shrewd than they imagined, and he will definitely not lose money easily.

"If a book of 200 texts is to be profitable, then the only way to greatly reduce labor costs and improve the efficiency ......of book publishing is possible?"

Duguchen muttered to himself, his fists clenched, his knuckles crackling.

The Dugu family also invested a lot in the book industry and hoarded a lot of books.

Once Liang Xiao's books only sell for 200 wen for a long time, their bookstores can obediently go out of business.

Without private salt, there is no book industry, and they have cut off the biggest way of wealth and power.

"A book of 200 texts? Let more people afford to read books and have a better chance of getting ahead? Diana looked at Liang Xiao and was moved.

Isn't that also a heroic act?

The Romans did not just admire the heroes who broke new ground.

Those who can make the country rich and the people strong are also heroes.

In contrast, whether Liang Xiao can do martial arts or not seems to be not so important?

Mu Qinxue's eyes were full of tenderness, looking at Liang Xiao, proud in her heart.

Liang Xiao told her in advance that her bookstore would not lose money, and she didn't need to worry.

Zhuge Hui is her mentor.

The ancestors and ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the loyal ministers headed by Zhuge Hui, have always hoped that the people at the bottom can afford to read, and have more opportunities to participate in the imperial examination, serve the country, break the monopoly of the family, and curb the phenomenon of gate valves.

In this way, each generation of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty can recruit more talents to assist him.

If Liang Xiao can succeed, it will also fulfill their ambition!

"Oops! It's not okay not to marry him now~" Mu Qinxue was full of joy and couldn't help but become a nymphomaniac.

Only Li Xinwen, with shocked eyes, looked at Liang Xiao who was on the stage and was talking like a river to deal with everyone's doubts.

He wants to make books affordable for more people?

How many families do you have to offend this......

At this moment, Li Xinwen seemed to understand why Xing Feng thought he was a hero.

It's just that he can really sell a book of 200 texts?

After Liang Xiao's explanation, everyone finally believed it.

Liang Xiao's bookstore only sells a maximum of 200 wen per book, and it will be sold for a long time!

Number of starts......

100,000 copies of each!!

In the central city of Beijing, the plaque of "Lanling Bookstore" is hung high.

The shopkeeper who acted as a guard with a mouth of Baliso announced in public: "The book industry is open!" Pre-sale of the Four Books and Five Classics and literacy books "Cangjie Chapter" and "History Chapter", the Four Books and Five Classics are only sold for 200 texts, and the literacy books are only sold for 160 texts! ”

The onlookers at the scene looked at several truckloads of books, their eyes lit up, and they asked for inspection.

The shopkeeper randomly took all kinds of books and flipped through them in public.

"We, the Marquis of Lanling, assure you that there are far fewer typos than the books on the market before, and the handwriting is neat, making it easier to read!"

The people introduced the literate representatives, and after they came forward to read it, they were so excited that they roared: "It is indeed good and cheap!" In the past, a book of this quality could sell for at least 1,200 wen!! ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was boiling!

All the people are digging into their pockets to buy a few copies to go home.

"Don't be in a hurry, there are 100,000 copies of each, everyone has a share...... Mother, please don't squeeze it! ”

The shopkeeper and the guards kept shouting, painful and happy.

On the tall building in the distance, Zhuge Hui, accompanied by Zhuge Cheng and Bai Qin, stared at the noisy scene at the door of Lanling Bookstore.

"A book of 200 texts, can he really make a profit?"

Bai Qin heard Zhuge Hui's slightly trembling question, and hurriedly explained.

"Prime Minister rest assured! The cost is almost all in the material, Hou Ye laid out in advance, and almost acquired the paper mill in the city, and the price of paper and ink can't rise much. At present, each of the Four Books and Five Classics can earn about 100 texts, and each literacy book can earn nearly 50 texts! In the future, the market will stabilize, and Hou Ye plans to reduce the price! ”

"Hou Ye plans to take the capital as the center, and after destroying the bookstores in the surrounding states and counties of the capital with cheap books, he can logically buy their useless paper mills, and then open a bookstore there, so as to continue to spread the layout and gradually destroy the book industry of those families throughout the country!"

"Hou Ye also said that after he has enough financial support, it will not be a problem for the bookstore to sell books at cost price or at a small loss!"

"Yes, yes! Let him do it, so that the people of the whole country have the opportunity to study! What's the matter in the court, the old man holds the ...... for him" Zhuge Hui nodded with satisfaction and turned around and went downstairs.

Bai Qin looked at the back of the departing grandson, and his heart was excited.

This was the first time he saw tears in the corners of the prime minister's eyes.

Let the people of the world afford to read, but the last wish of the Great Zhou Gaozu and the ancestor of the world has not been fulfilled!

"Brother Xiao will definitely become more and more admired by all the people~"

In the West Palace Annex, Empress Duan Yunyi put her hands on her cheeks, looking at Duan Yunsleeves who were dancing with joy like butterflies, and the sisters couldn't calm down for a long time.

His bookstore, is it fulfilling the last wishes of their grandfather and father?

He is his future brother-in-law......

Duan Yunyi didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

Because of Liang Xiao's book sales, the exchange meeting has a great momentum.

After the shocked crowd regained their composure, they looked at Liang Xiao and had their own concerns.

Some people are not sure whether Liang Xiao's selling of books like this is beneficial or harmful to them.

But at least one-third of the children from major families have an unprecedented sense of crisis in their hearts.

Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the book industry has been the bottom line of many great families.

Only by monopolizing knowledge can we monopolize public opinion and officialdom, and thus monopolize power.

Empty the imperial power, just around the corner!

As long as the status quo is maintained, even if there is a generation of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers in the country, after a hundred years, the new monarch will be at the mercy of the family.

For example, Zhuge Hui and the Marquis of Dingguo, if they died a few years earlier, even if the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty had military power in hand and did not have the support of military salaries, wouldn't they have to be at the mercy of their family in the future?

During the Wu Dynasty, there were cases where the king was deposed by the family at will, and the princess and the empress were forced to marry the family!

And now, the person standing on the high platform and talking eloquently, before he reached the weak crown, wanted to break the status quo that they had maintained for hundreds of years!
