Chapter 173: Primary and secondary contradictions
"I have understood the sincerity of Da Chu and look forward to deepening cooperation between the two countries in the future." Duan Yunyi nodded.
After Xing Feng left, Duan Yunyi couldn't help but ask Zhuge Hui: "What does the prime minister think of this?" ”
"The Great Chu Heavenly Son is ambitious, and it is not impossible to plot the Great Zhou. Xing Feng's move surprised the minister. He and the Great Chu Heavenly Son are like father and son, and they are the appointed Great Chu concubine, so there is no reason to sell the master for glory. Then there is only one explanation: he believes from the bottom of his heart that Da Chu should not go north in the presence of Liang Xiao, otherwise it will only cause a backlash from our country, and there will be no harm but no benefit. ”
Duan Yunyi nodded silently, knowing in his heart.
The national strength of Da Chu is not as good as that of Da Zhou, but Da Zhou has experienced the disaster of moving the capital, and its majesty has been swept away.
"Your Majesty should indeed strengthen precautions, these great families have a huge influence in Jiangnan, especially the Ram Clan. The imperial court must arrange in advance and arrange reliable defenders in the area south of the Yangtze River, and there is no room for error. Zhuge Hui reminded.
Duan Yunyi immediately arranged for the transfer of personnel in the Jiangnan area.
After Zhuge Hui left, Duan Yunyi looked at the "Luo Shen Fu" on the wall again.
Fortunately, there was no court meeting today, and when the sisters returned to the palace yesterday, they were already children, and they blamed him for telling the story so attractive that she was itching to hear it, and she inexplicably wanted to take a leather whip to drive him to finish it at once......
Now she thinks that Jiang Fuxue is the most enviable, after all, this kid has more opportunities to listen to his stories.
At noon, representatives of more than 20 large and small families of Dachu visited Liang Xiao to discuss business.
Liang Xiao had already received a notice from the palace to let him act cheaply, but the price could not be lower than the original price.
These families all run the book industry in their own countries, and finally formed a harmonious monopoly pattern of each family, and Liang Xiao's birth almost made them messed up.
After Xing Feng's suggestion, everyone sent Ye Hongxue, the talented Ye family's young lady, the head of Hengjiang Siyan, to discuss with Liang Xiao.
"Marquis Lanling, we hope that the book you customized for us can be printed by the cover publisher of each of our families, not the Marquis of Lanling's mansion......"
After Liang Xiao understood the needs of each family, he reminded: "I can agree to this condition, and Lanling Bookstore will not sell books in Dachu in the future." But you must ensure that the resale price shall not be higher than 400 Wen. ”
Everyone agreed.
Usually, the hand-copied books of each family make a profit of four or five hundred wen per book.
Counting the freight, the profit from reselling Liang Xiao's books is less than 200 Wen, which seems to be much less than before, but in fact, this kind of high-quality and inexpensive books can make small profits and quick sales, and the total profit in the end may be a little more than the original!
The most important thing is that Liang Xiao's promise means that Lanling Bookstore will not destroy the country's book industry, giving them peace of mind.
Liang Xiao also has his own considerations.
He must distinguish between the primary and secondary contradictions, these families of Da Chu have no direct grievances with him for the time being, even if they can't be co-opted and used, at least they can be restricted from supporting these great families of Da Zhou.
Dealing with these big families in China is the top priority.
The book industry can make these big Chu families cast rat traps, and they don't dare to offend him and Da Zhou casually, and he can also make a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.
A complete set of books, in the Great Zhou, is only 2,100 Wen, ordinary people can save a little money to buy it, and the children in the family are also expected to rely on reading to get ahead.
In Da Chu, the price is doubled at most, but it is better than the original Qianwen, and naturally more people will buy it.
This was something he had already calculated, Xing Feng talked to him, and he was just pushing the boat down the river, Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui of course knew the benefits of this matter to Da Zhou.
The people of Da Chu considered the business cooperation with him, and they would also consider supporting his other industries to blossom in Da Chu in the future.
When the families came to him to discuss the order and reported the pre-order quantity, Liang Xiao couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
The twenty-six Great Chu families have pre-purchased more than 500,000 sets in total, with a total amount of more than 1 million taels, and the deposit that accounts for one-fifth of the total amount alone has 200,000 taels......
The wealth of these families in Da Chu still exceeded his estimates.
There was also an order for newspapers, and each family ordered a set of newspapers that introduced the history of their own struggles, and according to the cost of nine cents each, a total of three million copies, or 27,000 taels of silver.
Ye Hongxue was still not at ease, and said with a smile: "With this set of books, it is very likely that we will continue to order them." In addition, the bookstore of the Marquis of Lanling will definitely publish other books in the future, and we can also come and talk to you again. ”
Everyone echoed and admired in their hearts.
Ye Hongxue was not in charge of business, but she couldn't resist everyone's pleas, so she came to negotiate with Liang Xiao on behalf of the Ye family.
Her words not only expressed her support for Liang Xiao, but also gave Liang Xiao the sweetness to continue to cooperate.
Liang Xiao readily agreed, and drew up a contract with everyone.
Of course, there are not so many materials in the capital to print 500,000 sets of books, so each family and Liang Xiao agreed to deliver one-fifth of each round, and after receiving the goods, they will collect a deposit and continue printing.
These families only hoped that Liang Xiao would not extend his tentacles to Dachu and destroy their book industry, so they allowed delivery once every six months to win Liang Xiao's favor.
Of course, they also believe that Liang Xiao will not let go of a lot of money and will definitely rush to work.
Each family achieved their goals and finally left the Marquis of Lanling Mansion satisfied.
Many families in the Great Zhou Dynasty who learned of this were so angry that they almost gave birth to one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
In the secret room of Duanmu's house, Duguchen couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle: "This son is far-thinking and scheming, and it's really hard to deal with!" ”
Each of them has gained a lot in the book industry, wine industry, and salt introduction, and now Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi have directly come to the bottom of the kettle.
Especially official salt and cheap books.
This means that the days when they lie on the mountains of gold and silver every year and wake up laughing are gone.
And they have no way to oppose this kind of good thing that benefits the country and the people.
Rebel? The slightest carelessness is the end of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.
Duguchen gritted his teeth and said: "For today's plan, we should secretly increase support for Beihu, Goryeo, Waguo and Northern Hebei Rangers, let them do it at the same time, and take the Great Zhou as soon as possible!" Especially in the East China Sea, as long as the salt field can be destroyed, it will be a matter of time before the salt is introduced! ”
Tuoba Jun frowned and said: "There are thousands of rangers in northern Hebei, the attitude is unknown, and its leader Long Wushuang cannot be trusted, beware of him coming to vote for his name and betraying him with his backhand." ”
Duguchen disagreed: "It's one thing to be untrustworthy, as long as you don't leave evidence, now you must let all forces take action, even if it is to collect money and do things!" As long as the land of Yanyun can be destroyed, the Beihu cavalry can drive straight in, and then you and I will have the real right to speak! Don't forget, your Tuoba clan is also from the northern grasslands, and there is no reason to refuse Beihu to go south. ”
Everyone was thoughtful, and then nodded one after another: "Only by raising Kou can you respect yourself, so it's decided!" ”
The major families in the capital sent carriages to the south of Youzhou along the official road.
