The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 149 Liu Hong's Chance

"Your Majesty, Guo Xi, Su Bin, and Fan Li are asking to be summoned outside." Liu Lu came in and said.

"Let them come in." Liu Hong said, and now all the plans are running according to the original plan.

"See Your Majesty." Three people came in one by one, and they were the main force dealing with Buddhist affairs.Fan Li and Su Bin are also Liu Hong's right-hand men.

"Come here, how's the matter?" Liu Hong asked.Now Liu Hong's focus is on this matter, so I will ask about this matter every once in a while.Of course it's not very often.

"Because of the blessing of the Ministry of Industry, our auction site was successfully established in about a month..." Guo Xi is in charge of this matter, so he understands it better.

With Liu Hong's support, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building the auction site.With Dahan's top craftsmen, the construction speed began to increase on a large scale.

"One month later. I want this auction to be held as scheduled." Liu Hong said.

"Su Bin, what is the current printing house like?" Liu Hong asked. The printing house was a department of the chamber of commerce designed by Liu Hong after the invention of papermaking and printing. It was responsible for the production and printing of books.

"If all the machines work at the same time, we will produce 1000 novels a day." Su Bin is the person in charge of the chamber of commerce, so the printing house is under his control, and he has a good understanding of printing techniques.

In fact, the printing house is not a big head in the interests of the chamber of commerce, that is, it is a very small part.

But Liu Hong had been supporting the printing house and would not let Su Bin withdraw from it.Liu Hong even ordered the establishment of newspapers and periodicals and published them regularly.

Since coming from later generations, Liu Hong has been more concerned about the control of public opinion.Only when the control is in his own hands, can Liu Hong have a certain impact on the family's attack.

Why is the family's reputation so high?It is because of the power of public opinion in the places they control.For example, if they built a bridge today, they would exaggerate and praise their kindness and benevolence.The common people will also be deceived by this rendering.

Because the literacy rate among older people is not high now, newspaper sales are generally low, but Liu Hong continues to persist.Therefore, the printing house is a department in the chamber of commerce that Liu Hong cares about. Liu Hong pays more attention to this department than the entire chamber of commerce.

"From now on, except for necessary newspapers and periodicals to be published regularly, all book printing will be stopped. Now I mainly print these two books in my hands. I want 10 copies of these two novels in ten days. What do you want from me? What, but 10 copies in ten days, can you do it?" Liu Hong handed Su Bin the list of Gods and Journey to the West in his hands.

"Your Majesty has 10 copies in ten days, and these two books are so thick, I'm afraid it will be too late." Su Bin hesitated.After all, 10 copies in ten days is simply impossible to complete according to the current progress.

"Su Bin, I am handing over the technology to you. I am not asking you to continue doing it according to the original technology. You have to increase the speed and improve the technology. It will never be beneficial to stand still." Liu Hong said.

Our people will always be the most intelligent and hardworking people in the world, and it will only take us 30 years for our descendants.It is a 100-year history to go through developed countries.

This is a testimony to China's strong creative ability, but China's innovative ability has not been greatly improved. Why, some processes have been used for 2000 years without changing, because they have formed a fixed model.

Liu Hong wants to change this status quo, he will start now, "I will let the Ministry of Industry and the Chamber of Commerce jointly solve this problem, I will give you what you want, remember, never stop at the present, you must always innovate " Liu Hong said to Su Bin, he was very dissatisfied with Su Bin's current behavior.

"I know I'm guilty, but I can arrange this matter when I get back." Su Bin knew that Liu Hong was already angry. Indeed, Liu Hong had given this technology to him for half a year, but now they still haven't improved it at all.

"Guo Xi, I will give you another batch of items in a few days. After these items are printed in "Fengshen Bang" and "Journey to the West", you can put these items on the market. Make publicity. Then wait for the auction Give me an item and sell it to me at a price of 200 million yuan." Liu Hong said.

These things all appeared in "Journey to the West". Liu Hong wanted to use the popularity of "Journey to the West" to let the people know about these so-called Buddhist sacred objects.

At that time, we can carry out another publicity, so that the temple can hold a puja after buying these things, so as to increase the popularity and get more incense money.

This is a scam set up by Liu Hong, using some things of insufficient value to obtain huge profits.Of course, Liu Hong also knew that if it was those monasteries, they would obediently take out the money even though they knew it was a scam.

If their monasteries do not have these things, then for the people, what impresses them the most is the things in "Journey to the West". If there are no things for them, the people's trust in them will be reduced.

No amount of money can buy these things back, especially things like temples that are more about faith.

"I know." The three of them looked at each other and said, they felt Liu Hong's cruelty.

"Fan Li, you and Wei Zhongxian should have 3500 million yuan in my inner palace from now on. In this way, you take 3000 million yuan and give it to some people, pretending to be the incense master of the temple. Lend the money to them. But charge High profits." Liu Hong said.

At present, Liu Hong mainly has two places to pit monasteries’ money. On the one hand, Liu Hong lends money to monasteries through chambers of commerce. They use land mortgages or some more important things in exchange for money.

On the other hand, what Liu Hong did was to give money to some people, let them pretend to be incense masters, and then lend the money to the temple through these people, and when the time comes, the practice will collect benefits.

Liu Hong will give some things to some other monasteries, and then every monastery will appear and every monastery will practice.

Because there are too many monasteries for practice meetings, when people go to other monasteries, the money in each monastery will be much less.At that time, they will not be able to collect profits.

The monastery has no way to repay the money, and then use the money to collect the land and important things of the monastery.

It can be said that Liu Hong showed murderous intentions at every step, and the temple finally gave up on the land.If the money is not enough, you can only ask the chamber of commerce to borrow money again.At this time, the Chamber of Commerce will become the biggest creditor of the monastery and let them sign some agreements with the imperial court.
