Today, Zhuge Cheng accompanied Zhuge Hui to see the Lanling Bookstore, but he was unable to participate in the exchange meeting, Qin Baili, Lin Xiu and other poor students gathered at a table, got up one after another, and saluted Liang Xiao.

They didn't like to cling to the powerful, but since they knew that Liang Xiao had restored the title, they were embarrassed to have too much contact with him.

But now this awkwardness is nothing compared to the respect for Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao took in everyone's reactions and smiled.

This time, even some of the children of the family on the side of Da Chu showed obvious hostility towards him.

The books of 200 texts, once popularized, are tantamount to digging up the ancestral graves of bookshop giants such as the Duanmu family, and the Dachu book industry will inevitably be affected.

At present, Hanmen does not refer to ordinary commoners, but to the down-and-out nobles and scholars opposite the great family, and these people have some books in their homes.

The promotion of books, in fact, has an equally huge impact on the children of the poor, after all, they still count on this knowledge, and their status is above that of the common people, and they are expected to rise to prominence in the future.

However, Qin Baili and his ilk were still very excited and paid tribute to him, which showed that they really took the world as their own responsibility.

Whether it is a child of a poor family or a child of a family, if there is real talent and real learning, why are you afraid of ordinary people reading with them?

This is the reason why he invited Qin Baili and others to attend the meeting, he wanted to confirm Zhuge Hui's vision with his own eyes.

As a result, he was very pleased.

Tuoba Jun, Ram Jing, and Duguchen are also difficult to calm down.

They boast of being strategic, thoughtful, and planning before acting, so as not to miss easily.

But Liang Xiao's behavior was completely beyond their cognition, and it made them feel a deep sense of powerlessness for a while.

If Liang Xiao's books only sell for seven or eight hundred texts, they still have a way to fight a price war.

Two hundred texts, they are fighting a price war purely looking for death!

The brush can only be written with ink, and the ink of Da Zhou is usually a little oil added to the ink to enhance the durability of the ink and ensure that the words written are not easy to change color.

Essentially, the material used for hand-copied books is still pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the cheapest paper in this paper also requires many sheets, because once one is written incorrectly, the paper is invalid and needs to be copied again.

Dozens or hundreds of copied pieces of paper are bound into a book, and counting the bookmaker's wages, it costs at least five or six hundred dollars.

"Erbaiwen, it must have something to do with his newspaper, he has mastered some kind of skill that does not require manual labor, maybe with the help of tools, stained with ink to print? But even if he uses ink, the cost should be very high......"

Tuoba Jun and others were puzzled.

The crux of the matter may be in the ink!

But they sent people to study the words of the newspaper, but they couldn't figure out why.

The reason why Liang Xiao's newspaper sells well every issue is because of the content and the quality of the newspaper itself.

The words in the newspaper are hard to fade and have strong staying power!

Someone has calculated that Liang Xiao's newspaper has at least two large sheets per issue, which is equivalent to four small sheets, and the integration of twenty-five issues is two hundred and fifty yuan, which can be sold as a miscellaneous book!

This is also the key reason why the major families have trouble day and night, and the price of newspapers is pitifully low.

In this way, Liang Xiao's Four Books and Five Classics only sold for 200 texts, and they were not surprised.

Liang Xiao sat on the high platform and drank, smiling, calmly meeting the hostile eyes of the children of the two families.

Fortunately, he knew a little about the production of ink, and with a little blending, he was able to make an ink that could be printed.

His ink belongs to printing ink, and it is not the same thing as the "ink" of this world at all.

There is really no way to cooperate with printing with commonly used ink.

Moreover, the price of ink is high.

A fine ink strip, a hundred taels is not an uncommon thing.

The ink used in hand-copied books must be good ink at the very least, starting from two by two.

The inkstone for grinding ink, a better one also has to start with five taels!

Durable brushes, ranging from a few hundred to two taels each!

The paper also needs to be a good paper that absorbs ink, unlike the kind of ink he uses for printing.

Even if these opponents can really send spies to hear about the practice of engraving and movable type, they must pass the ink level again.

Cheap books are extremely beneficial to the emperor to recruit talents and maintain his rule, Duan Yunyi specially dispatched hundreds of Xuanwei to assist him in strengthening the secrecy of printing technology!

As Duan Yunyi said, as an emperor, she did give him great freedom and trust.

The mood of the people at the scene was different, and the ups and downs were great.

An hour later, the scholar sent out by Duanmu Yuncheng ran back to report.

"Young Master! Books with a price of no more than 200 wen, 100,000 copies of each, are indeed a thing! ”

The scholar's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

The hands of Tuoba Jun and the others holding the cup were trembling violently.

This is a bigger crisis than the newspaper and the moon in the sea!

At that moment, a light snow began to fall.

"It's snowing?"

Everyone looked up at the sky, and everyone in Da Chu was very excited.

Liang Xiao immediately arranged to send a large number of hand stoves, foot stoves and heaters prepared in advance to the venue.

Everyone's eyes fell on the stage.

The fine snow was flying, and the figure of the white-clothed young man who was talking and laughing in the snow was slightly hazy.

Mu Qinxue and many talented women were stunned for a while.

White clothes and white robes, calm and elegant.

What a turbid son!

The more Tuoba Jun and the others looked at it, the more they hated it, and simply left the scene early on the grounds that it was cold.

Now no one dares to accuse Liang Xiao of selling books too cheaply in public, which is a big disapproval in the world.

Xing Feng also noticed that the atmosphere of the people in Dachu was not right, and stepped forward to suggest to Liang Xiao: "Marquis Lanling, it is cold, rainy and snowy today, can the meeting be dismissed an hour earlier?" ”

Liang Xiao agreed without hesitation.

The second day ended an hour early.

In the Honglu Temple, a group of children from the Great Chu family visited Xing Feng.

In Xing Feng's courtyard, the crowd was indignant.

"Xing Gongzi, what kind of price did he sell the book at! In the future, those books will flow to Da Chu's side, and our Da Chu's book industry will definitely collapse! My dad wouldn't allow that to happen! If it weren't for you and General Li's face, we would have scolded him a long time ago! ”

Li Xinwen frowned, and his displeased gaze swept over everyone.

Xing Feng smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. ”

Everyone was resentful, just staring at Xing Feng, extremely nervous.

"The assets of the Marquis of Lanling are far inferior to those of the domestic family, and it is unlikely that he will do a loss-making business. Therefore, the books of Lanling Bookstore should be profitable. As you said, once these books flow into our country, they will surely sweep away the Dachu book industry. I can understand your indignation. But you should understand that Lanling Bookstore is unstoppable, and for today's plan, I can only negotiate with the Great Zhou Emperor on behalf of Great Chu to establish trade protection. ”

"Trade protection?" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Xing Feng explained: "That is, these books cannot flow into Dachu at will, but can be purchased by Dachu's booksellers and shipped to China for resale. Of course, my Emperor Shengming should also be able to come up with other ways to solve this matter. However, first, it was necessary to obtain the support of the Great Zhou Tianzi and the Marquis of Lanling. ”

"Thank you Gongzi Xing!"

Everyone finally smiled.

According to Xing Feng's meaning, if this matter can be achieved, their book industry will only monopolize the purchase channels, directly purchase goods from Liang Xiao's side, and ship them back to China for resale, and the profit may be higher than that of hand-copied books!

Xing Feng suddenly said solemnly: "If you offend the Marquis of Lanling, I'm afraid it will make this matter more difficult, can you understand what I mean?" ”

"Understood! It's just a statement! Tomorrow we will definitely express our support for the Marquis of Lanling, who dares to say that the Marquis of Lanling is not, we will definitely reprimand! ”

Xing Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after sending everyone away, he sighed to Li Xinwen: "General Li, for the benefit of Great Chu, we must find a time to have a long talk with the Marquis of Lanling." ”

Li Xinwen just replied sullenly, without objection, but with the same expectation in his eyes.

She also wanted to see what kind of ideas Liang Xiao had and what kind of person he was.
