At this moment, a newspaper news caused a shock in Chang'an.

In Cui Renzhi's class room of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Cui Renzhi looked at the newspaper in his hand with a gloomy face. Today the newspaper published an article titled "The Contribution of a Prince", and the content of it was very simple.

The general meaning is that during the Zhengyuan Festival, Li Shen was taught a lesson by His Majesty because of his mistakes, and His Majesty taught King Ji, as a member of the royal family, to care about the Tang Dynasty and not just take care of his own interests.

It is necessary to put the people of the world first, the people of the world are the children of the Li Tang royal family, and they should let the people live a better life.

Everyone has food, clothing, and books. After hearing His Majesty's teachings, King Ji blamed himself for what he had done in the past, and felt that he had to do something practical for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, from tomorrow, Datang Books will combine the upper and lower volumes of the nine books sold a few days ago into one volume. And it's still sold for ten dollars each. In other words, books that originally cost 20 yuan can now be bought for 10 yuan.

The article also said that Li Shen would not see outsiders behind closed doors from tomorrow, and that he should deeply reflect on his evil deeds and concentrate on his studies, and so on.

"Bang", Cui Renzhi slapped the newspaper on the table after reading the full text, "It's too much to deceive people, it's too much to deceive people"

"Gong Cui's matter is very important, I think it's better to go to the Wei Palace." Wang Weiqu said

"No, Prince, I'd better go to your house. The King of Wei is now deeply loved by His Majesty, and the King of Wei cannot be allowed to participate in it. Cui Renzhi is still relatively rational, Li Shimin must be happy about this matter, if Li Tai opposes it, it will affect Li Tai's image in Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin, who was working in the Liangyi Palace, was also reading the newspaper sent by Wang De, and Li Shimin was very satisfied with what he had taught Li Shen above.

In fact, this is all arranged by Li Shen himself, but Li Shimin himself thinks that it must have some effect on what Li Shen said on weekdays, and Li Shen told him that the cost of a book can be made lower in the future, and Li Shimin is looking forward to the arrival of that time.

"Li An, Li Shen is starting to make big moves, you send a few hundred horsemen to secretly protect the palace. Tell Jin Wuwei to focus on Ji Wangfu after curfew, I am worried that the family will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Although ordinary people may not be able to afford the current price, Li Shen said that the price will be lower and lower in the future, and the people's income will be higher and higher. Li Shimin was worried that the family would do it, and they had done it before.

In the evening, the family of the next dynasty and later generations gathered at Wang Wei's mansion, and Wei Ting sighed and said, "Hey~~ King Ji is so ruthless." He's going to fight us.

We acquired nearly half a million of his books, worth 5 million yuan. Each of our houses is about seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, and now he sells it at half price. Each of us will lose at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.

This is not a small amount, and I don't want to believe that the cost of his books can be so low, he is hurting the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800 by himself. ”

"Then let's wait and see how long he can last at such a low price?" Choi In-ji said

Zheng Jingsi on the side gave a difficult question: "It's not how long it takes, it's how much he wants to produce." Today, the population of Datang is 3.04 million, and there are not many scholars, and there are only so many people in the imperial examination.

If he is ruthless enough to produce more, everyone will have one copy at that time. We can't wait three or two years for our books to be sold to. Do you know that the storage and maintenance of books also requires a lot of expenses, and we have to put nearly a million yuan on books? ”

"What then? If we impeach this kind of thing, I guarantee that it will appear in the newspaper the next day, and then we will not only offend the people who read the world, but even involve the family. Cui Renzhi said upset

Lu Chengqing, who had been silent, said: "Everyone, this matter has no power to return to the sky, unless it is to destroy the printing house, so that it can be delayed for some time."

Before I came, I received instructions from the clan that the patriarch would contact the patriarchs of each family to discuss a solution, and possibly punish King Ji a little. Saying that, Lu Chengqing's hand made a chopping motion.

"If that's the case, then let's wait for news from the clan." Cui Renzhi said helplessly

Wei Ting also sighed: "It can only be like this, if you want to do it, you have to do it cleanly, if you don't succeed, I really don't know what the consequences will be."

The current King Ji is still making a small fuss, but if we do it and he is fine, then I really don't know what method he will use to compete with us.

King Ji is different from those civil and military generals, King Ji is business-oriented, and he understands that money can do a lot of things. ”

Just when the family was discussing how to deal with Li Shen, the news from the newspaper had spread all over Chang'an in an instant like wings, and many businessmen who wanted to go back to the local area were also ready to stay, buy some books and leave.

Early the next morning, in front of the Datang Bookstore, which had been closed for a month, was full of people waiting to buy books. didn't wait long for the door of Datang Bookstore to slowly open, Wang Xuance took the lead and walked out, looking at the crowd in front of the door and shouting:

"Today, the rules of book sales have changed. First, individuals are limited to one copy of each type of purchase. Second, the merchant must be a merchant registered in the boutique pavilion to purchase. Other merchants are currently not available due to limited quantities. ”

"What, why don't you sell it to us."

"Yes, you guys are bullies."

"The people of the palace look down on other merchants."

For a while, both real and fake businessmen began to shout, Wang Xuance didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, a team of fifty guards came out of it.

"The rules are set by our prince, what he says is the rules, if any of you have an opinion, you can go to the palace to find the prince to theorize, but if you make trouble here, don't blame me for being polite." Wang Xuance showed Li Shenxuan's image vividly, and walked in without looking back.

The rest of the matter went very smoothly under the watchful eyes of the fifty guards, who took the money to buy books and left.

The merchant has a special person who is responsible for checking the identity, and this is Li Shen afraid that the people of the family will buy it again. Li Shen needs to support all states in the country to get some, and the time is too busy to have so much inventory.

Datang Bookstore has not stopped selling for half a month, and the printing house has been continuously transporting finished products to the city for half a month.

Li Shen's plan was to print for two months, and eventually distribute the majority to newspapers in the states. Li Shen's purpose is to squeeze the goods in the hands of the family. Saturate the market and let no one buy the Maison's books.

Just when everyone was paying attention to Datang Bookstore, there was another news in the newspaper that attracted a lot of attention. The most concerned are businessmen, and an article was published in the Datang Daily. The headline reads: "Three days later, Datang Daily advertised to attract investment." Welcome merchants from all over the world to come to negotiate》
