Ning Lan chuckled: "Otherwise, who else?" ”

Lin Juan: ......

Thinking of the slap in the salt-making method, Lin Wan's heart began to feel uncomfortable.

Seeing her expression, Ning Lan raised his hand to hold her hand, and comforted: "Madame, don't worry, your father-in-law is no longer angry with you, how can father and daughter have an overnight feud, don't be angry with him." ”

Lin Juan: ......

She was not happy in her heart, but she also knew that this was something that could not be done in a feudal society.

The propaganda of the bookstore was handed over to the father of the original owner as the right minister, which was naturally very appropriate.

Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly heard a noise, only to hear countless people running around and shouting: "Come on! Come on! Shunyuan Bookstore has burned books! ”

As soon as they heard this, more and more people immediately followed and looked lively, Lin Juan and Ning Lan saw each other, and they also felt a little curious, so they followed behind the crowd.

When I got to the ground, I saw that outside the Shunyuan bookstore, the inner and outer floors were crowded with people.

Because the steps of the bookstore are relatively high, you can clearly see a group of big men holding books in and out.

In a short time, the entire bookstore was emptied and thrown directly into the open space in front of the bookstore, and two or three strong men lifted a large barrel of oil and poured the books through.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the readers in the crowd instantly turned red, and they couldn't wait to pounce on the book to save it: "What is the crime of books!" These are all sage books! ”

The people in the bookstore probably thought of this scene a long time ago, and they had already ordered a group of big men to surround them tightly, and those scholars couldn't break through if they wanted to, so they could only look at the head with grief and indignation.

Usually, in order to get these books, they save money and go bankrupt, how can they look at these treasures today, and they are turned into ashes in vain!

In the midst of the indignation, two girls walked out of the bookstore.

A woman in white wears a fence on her head, and the other woman in green shows her face directly.

She has a temperament as weak as smoke willows, her eyes are clean and clear, and she is even more beautiful in a group of reckless people.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon became even more angry, sure enough, the girl did not read and did not know righteousness, and she did such a rebellious thing!

There was a sound of scolding below, and the big man next to the girl stood up and drew his sword: "How dare you be rude!" This is Mrs. Yuhua and the county lord of Fuzhang who was personally enshrined by the emperor! ”

Hearing this, there was a moment of silence.

The name of Mrs. Yuhua is known to everyone, and the county lord of Fuzhang, although it is not so thunderous, many people think about it carefully and immediately remember, it seems that she is the sister of the most favored Concubine Chen......

Although everyone is indignant, no one dares to be so bold unless they give up their lives.

It's just that someone couldn't help it, and shouted at Bai Li'er at the top: "Mrs. Yuhua, you are famous for your talents, how can you do such an insulting thing as burning books!" ”

Bai Li'er looked at him, blessed slightly, and said slowly: "Sir, don't be impatient, please listen to the concubine in detail." ”

"A gentleman asked me what is the sin of the book, and as the concubine said, the book is indeed sinful."

The crowd suddenly became agitated: "How the sages are guilty! ”

Bai Li'er looked at them and said with a slight smile: "The sages are naturally not guilty, but there are books, and the greatest sin of books is that they are expensive." ”

The crowd was already furious, and was about to theorize with all their might, when they heard this, they suddenly paused—

Well?

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Bai Li'er smiled and beckoned someone to bring a large stack of books.

Pointing to the stack of books, he said to everyone: "This is the book that I sold before Shunyuan Bookstore, a whole book of "Daya Yiyan", a total of 20 volumes, 8,000 texts, is it expensive?" ”

All:......

That's expensive, of course.

Ordinary people just have to find a good place to work, and the maximum income they earn a month is only five yuan, and this has to be done without eating or drinking for the whole family to save these five yuan.

And this is just a book, and it will cost a whole 8,000 texts, and ordinary people can't afford to pay for it.

If a child from a poor family wants to study, he has to establish a good relationship with his rich classmates, nod and borrow the book, copy it and return it untouched.

Over time, readers have become accustomed to the "paper gold" of books, so what can they do if they are expensive?

looked at Bai Li'er absurdly: "The words of the sages are originally expensive, is it because they are expensive, do they burn it?" ”

Bai Li'er immediately shook her head: "The words of the sage are not expensive, the sage Zeng Yun: 'There is no class in teaching', the sage only hopes that more people can inherit their words." ”

"However, because of the high cost of paper, pen and ink, and the cost of labor, the words of the saints, who were supposed to be circulated in the world, were confined to books and turned into things that ordinary people could not hope for.

All:......

"What does Mrs. Yuhua think?"

Bai Li'er suddenly smiled again, waved her hand, and asked people to take out a new stack of books.

This book is very different from the previous books, and people can't say what the difference is, but the impression is very different.

Bai Li'er picked up a volume and said with a smile: "This is also a "Daya Yiyan", our new price is 200 wen per volume, and this book has been printed in six volumes, so the total is 1,200 wen. ”

"What?"

Everyone suspected that they had auditory hallucinations, one was 8,000 and the other was 1,200 yuan, just kidding!

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Bai Li'er ordered someone to hand over the six books to everyone to read, and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, gentlemen will know it when you look at it."

The people below hurriedly took it and passed it around, and it turned out to be a complete set of "Daya Yiyan"!

Soon, everyone also discovered why this book looks so strange, because its paper is much harder than ordinary book paper.

And they also know why the number of copies printed is so small, because this book is actually printed on both sides.

The font printed is also much smaller than the common font on the market, so a complete set of "Daya Yiyan" was actually printed in only six volumes!

The most important thing is that even so, the ink is not muddy, the version is not messy, and it looks extremely clear.

The crowd looked up in shock, how did this happen!

Bai Li'er smiled, pulled over the green smoke that had been silent beside her, and chuckled: "If you want to ask why our bookstore can print such a book, I have to thank the county lord of Fuzhang beside me." ”

"The county lord of Fuzhang likes to delve into some strange things, and one day, she suddenly had some ingenuity about printing, and after getting her ingenuity, the printing workers of our bookstore studied day and night, and finally created a new set of printing techniques."

"This method is so subtle and abnormal that the cost of printing books has been greatly reduced, and the original need to print 20 copies of "Daya Yiyan" now only needs to be printed in six volumes, and the cost of printing has been reduced, and the price of a single book will naturally have to be reduced.

"With 1,200 books, can the concubine still sell 8,000 books to the monarchs, so the monarchs think these books should be burned?"

The crowd who learned the reason was overjoyed, and suddenly there was a loud laugh, shouting: "It should be burned!" ”

Soon, however, someone shouted, "Madame! Although we know that your heart is kind, but it is a pity that this good book is burned, and it is good for you to give it to us! ”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately felt heartbroken, yes, since it was not sold, why not give it to them!

Bai Li'er covered her mouth and took a step back, as if she hadn't thought of this stubble.

Soon Fu Shen confessed: "It was the concubine's negligence, and now these books are wet with oil and cannot be used, but there are still many old books in the concubine's storeroom." ”

"Then, starting tomorrow, every time you buy a new book, you can pick one from the pile of old books, and if you find something, please don't dislike it, and you can pick it up until you finish it."

"When the new store opens, within the first three days, the whole store will be half price, and the time is urgent, and everyone must pay attention to the time."

"This bookstore was originally a concubine's dowry, and now with the help of my sister-in-law, it is unforgettable, in order to show my heart, Shunyuan Bookstore will be renamed Yuzhang Bookstore in the future."

"The Yuzhang Bookstore will officially open tomorrow, and all gentlemen are invited to cheer for it."

The crowd immediately cheered, how can you wait for tomorrow, you just want to live here today!

When Bai Li'er finished speaking, she ordered someone to raise a torch and said with a smile: "Then these books will serve the ghosts and gods as a symbol of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new." ”

The crowd couldn't say anything more, and although it was a pity, they could only comply, looking at the piles of books, which burned and turned to ashes in an instant under the combustibles.

So no one knows that it's not a book at all, hahaha.

After burning the books to cheer up, looking at the people who were still reluctant to leave, Bai Li'er blessed herself and said the second thing.

"Although the Yuzhang Bookstore will open tomorrow, you don't need to be too anxious."

Half price for the whole site, just three days, how can you not be in a hurry!

Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, Bai Li'er said unhurriedly: "The reason why everyone is not in a hurry is because Your Majesty is about to build the first floor of the world all over the country. ”

The crowd was stunned: "What is the first floor of the world?" ”

Bai Li'er smiled, this "first floor in the world", that's amazing.

……

About the two major artifacts in the book, the improved printing and papermaking, the book used to be very detailed and large.

Because of the barriers of the times, she doesn't understand many knowledge points, but she can understand the summary.

The innovation point of this set of technology is lead-tin alloy, ink, and assembly line operation.

Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man, so find someone to try all kinds of things, and she can copy the answers.

Although the female protagonist has become clever, she handed over this matter to the male protagonist to carry out it secretly.

But knowing the location of the storehouse, that is, the eight locks, how can it stop the thieves?

In this way, Xi Hongrui still succeeded in getting this set of techniques.

After getting the technology, Xi Hongrui did not hesitate to dedicate it to Emperor Chongwen.

However, the status of the peasants, industrialists, and workers is only a little better than that of the merchants.

Emperor Chongwen was a standard "scholar," and he was not prepared to explain various principles to him, but only showed him a strong control group of 20 and 6 volumes.

I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by Emperor Chongwen, a "scholar", Emperor Chongwen looked at the new book and said disappreciatively: "Although the work is not coincidental, it is uncivilized." ”

Later, he showed her the rare books he had treasured, hand-copied by famous masters of all dynasties, so that she could know what a real book was.

Raid Red Rui: ......

pounced on him and coquettishly said: "Your Majesty! It's different! ”

Emperor Chongwen put down his precious lone book and looked at her: "Oh, what's the difference? ”

Xi Hongrui looked at him and crackled: "Your Majesty, you don't need this kind of inferior book, but someone can use it." ”

"People in this world want to make a fortune through the imperial examination, and books are the first step, but the original books on the market are very expensive, and poor people can't afford to buy them at all.

Emperor Chongwen looked back heavily: "Oh, it turns out that you are thinking about the idea of making money again." ”

Xi Hongrui smiled and cocked her chin: "More than ~"

Emperor Chongwen was slightly interested: "Then what else?" ”
