My Longxi Li family has always regarded itself as an heir to the family, but I am limited by my own ability. Although I have set my heart for many years, I have not been able to accomplish the great cause of educating the world like a son-in-law.

Now he is willing to follow the example of his son-in-law and send his family's literate children to be teachers, giving free lectures to the next generation who are eager to study.

But knowing is easier than doing. We have teachers but we don’t have enough teaching materials. The children don’t have books in their hands, and they can’t read this book well. So I came to talk to my son-in-law to discuss business, just to solve this problem. "

Du Shaoqing said, if I didn't know your inner thoughts, I would have almost believed that you came here with good intentions.

Glancing at the other party in feinted astonishment, Du Shaoqing said: "So, Li Yushi came from the papermaking method and the printing method?"

Li Ganyou didn't hide it, and asked back, "If I say yes, may the son-in-law help to cut off love?"

After all, it is a person who has been in court for many years, this sentence is a temptation and a tactful admission.

Du Shaoqing laughed loudly: "It is well known that I, Du Shaoqing, love money like my life, and they say that I am more of a businessman than a doctor, and more of an official.

I invented the new papermaking technology. It is undeniable that this is a cash cow. It can be predicted that with this, how much wealth can it bring?

As for typography?

Haha, I can't give too much away.

How about this, since you said that it is for the great cause of enlightening the world, I will make a condition: as long as the Longxi Li family can pay enough, I can share these two wealth. "

Hearing this, Li Qianyou's heart moved, and he wanted to ask what the conditions were, but he stopped talking. He is not the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, and if the price is too high, he can't make the decision.

At this time, Du Shaoqing laughed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this condition, it's a bit difficult to say.

How about this, for the time being, the reconstruction of Chang'an here still needs time, so there are still some teaching books that I have prepared, and I can consider allocating some of them to the Li family in Longxi. What do you think of this kind of cooperation?

Of course, even if I improve the technology of papermaking and printing, it will still cost a lot, so you need to spend some money to buy these textbooks. "

Oh?

This method made Li Qianyou's eyes shine. When he came, he just wanted to try Du Shaoqing's attitude, and try his luck to see if Cui Hao's words were accurate, but he never thought that there was such a compromise.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ganyou began to think about it, and asked, "Then I wonder how much this book will cost? If it is the market price, I'm afraid it won't work."

Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course not, what else should I spend a lot of money on improving technology?

Knowing that the Li family in Longxi is also a public mind, I will charge you a cost price, [-]% of the market price. "

what? ?

Li Ganyou's beard trembled for a while, [-]%?God, is this new book coming out so cheap?I thought that [-]% of the price would be considered a discount, but it turned out to be [-]%?

"Then why is the price of the new paper of the son-in-law?"

"That's different, teaching books are of great use to us, and they are official business.

The paper bought by private individuals is not for personal use, but a private matter.

In terms of business, I, Du Shaoqing, can take it or not, but in terms of personal use, I need to make some money. Otherwise, if I don’t make any money at all, how will my workers live? "

Du Shaoqing explained in a serious manner, without any blush.

Li Qianyou was stunned for a while, and he couldn't help applauding Du Consort Du secretly. It seems that even if this strange man is a businessman, he is also a different businessman.

If Li Qianyou knew that Du Shaoqing's cost was less than one percent of the previous book production, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood and sell it to Longxi Li's for [-]%, Du Shaoqing would have made more than ten times.

So before he knew it, the representative of the Longxi Li family who took the initiative to find him fell into the trap.

Facing Du Shaoqing's broad mind, Li Ganyou was in awe, stood up and saluted Du Shaoqing respectfully: "Thank you son-in-law for his righteousness, if that's the case, then let's make a deal according to what the son-in-law said. At [-]% of the price, the people all over the world will buy it because they have books." Read it and praise the son-in-law."

"Where is it, compared to the Li family in Longxi who donated people and money to help enlighten the people, this is insignificant and not worth mentioning."

Speaking of this, Li Qianyou thought of something, and asked a little puzzled: "I'm not afraid of making jokes when I say it, I think you have seen the current situation, so you are not afraid of making His Majesty unhappy by saying that our Longxi Li family's move is a conspiracy? "

Facing this person's question, Du Shaoqing also did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Then will you plan to do something wrong?"

Li Ganyou resolutely denied it: "Of course not. If you want to go wrong, you can't do it in a peaceful and prosperous age. It's the best time for all the heroes to rise together in troubled times. My ancestors of the Li family in Longxi have taught that we must not participate in the change of kingship."

Du Shaoqing smiled lightly, "If that's the case, what are you afraid of?

I'm afraid it's too late for His Majesty to thank you all!

Come, come, don't talk about others, Du Mou, on behalf of the people, thank you all, everyone in the world can realize that everyone has books to read as soon as possible, and everyone has contributed a lot.

Replace the wine with tea, I propose a toast to you. "

Du Shaoqing picked up the teacup, but Li Ganyou became more and more confused. Instead of reaching for his own cup, he stared at Du Shaoqing and asked, "My son-in-law, can you enlighten me, what exactly are you trying to do?"

With a hearty smile, Du Shaoqing drank the tea in the cup, straightened his body and said loudly: "It's not for anything, I just want to add countless literate people to Datang.

Because the prosperous age is approaching, the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, but there are not enough literate people to govern and help the people, which is really a problem.

If there is a shortage of talents, we will cultivate talents. If there is no school, we will run a school. If there is no teacher, we will hire a teacher. If there is no book, we will print books.

Later, when I saw your actions, not only the Li family of Longxi, but even the entire five surnames and Qiwang were involved.

I saw the dawn of the sage's ambition to educate the world.

Let everyone in the world have books to read, maybe this is what is being drawn now. "

Listening to the other party's explanation, Li Qianyou re-acquainted with the other party's mind, no longer doubts in his heart, turned around and picked up the teacup, and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he bowed to Du Shaoqing again, then turned around and left.

When he was about to walk out of the living room, Li Ganyou still couldn't help asking the previous condition: "May I ask what the price is for the son-in-law to share the papermaking and printing?"

Du Shaoqing said lightly, "The entire Li family in Longxi is used by the imperial court."

Li Ganyou arched his hands, turned around and strode away.

Du Shaoqing was talking about the imperial court, but in Li Qianyou's view, he was referring to His Majesty at this moment.

Chapter 374 Happy Events Again and Again (Three-in-One Chapter Plus Update)

On the third day after Li Qianyou and Du Shaoqing finalized the direct book deal between the two parties, news came from the palace that movable type printing had failed.

It was the dead man with the five surnames Qiwang who sneaked into the guard army. After peeking at the secret, he brought the news to him. It was later discovered that he committed suicide by taking poison, but the secret could not be kept.

When Du Shaoqing heard the news, he almost couldn't laugh or cry. His first reaction was not surprise, but he thought of Li Ganyou from the Li family in Longxi. What would he think?

Because just the day before, Li Qianyou had already delivered the deposit of [-] teaching books ordered, and the news spread quickly in Chang'an. Du Shaoqing sold teaching books to the Li family in Longxi at a low price to help him run schools and educate people. .

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar, and the common people praised the Longxi Li family for running a school as a great thing, but those with a little knowledge were surprised, wondering if the Longxi Li family had started to have an ambiguous relationship with Du Shaoqing?Could it be that the situation has changed?
