Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

A volume of 20 characters, and using such perfect paper, isn't it a loss?

He even repeatedly confirmed with Li Ke that he thought Li Ke was wrong.

But Li Ke told him that books are so cheap!

Books of perfect quality, 50 times cheaper than manuscripts!

5 times cheaper than the previous print version!

It can be said that if books are really sold at this price, and they are in large quantities.

Then there will be a lot of people in the world who can afford to read books!

At that time, His Highness the King of Wu, who sold such a perfect book so cheaply to everyone, may have a status in the hearts of scholars all over the world, which will almost rival Confucius and Mencius!

In fact, there is a reason why Li Ke set the price of books so low.

If he wants to make money, there are many ways to make money.

There is no need to rely on selling books to make money!

The reason why he sells books is entirely to expand his status in the minds of scholars.

Secondly, it is to combat the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!

The strategic significance of selling books to him is far greater than the significance of making money.

So selling books is enough for him to make ends meet.

With the current technology of the printing workshop, coupled with low raw material and labor costs.

On average, one volume of books is printed, and after the cost is apportioned, there are actually not many.

A volume of books sells for 20 coins. Once the volume is increased, you may be able to make a small profit.

Not only books, but he will also sell paper, brushes, and ink in the future.

Although the quality of the paper is definitely not as good as the paper used for printing books, it may be similar to the quality of newspapers, but it is far enough for writing.

The same is true for brushes. The writing experience of brushes is not bad, and the cost of wool is so low that it is almost negligible.

It only needs to be degreased a little, and then it can be made into a brush pen.

As for the ink, although it is not as good as the ground ink, it is cheap enough to write.

The key point is to let everyone afford books, pens and ink at a very low price.

The most important thing is to buy paper!

Don't care about quality first, you have to complete the process from scratch first!

With the most basic conditions for reading and writing, a large number of scholars will appear in a short period of time.

These people can always pass the imperial examination if they take part in the imperial examination.

Even if you don't pass the exam, you can understand more truths through reading, and you can read and write.

In the future, I can also go to other positions, at least it is a talent.

In the Tang Dynasty, when the literacy rate was still very low, people who could read and write could always hold some important positions.

When these people grow up, they will naturally not forget who helped them on this path.

Nor will they forget who helped them change their destiny.

By then, Li Ke will have a group of important supporters in all walks of life in Datang.

In addition, once everyone can buy books with very little money, after buying pens, ink, paper and other reading utensils.

Then do you still need to go to Wuxing Qiwang to study?

After everyone participates in the imperial examination, can the five surnames and seven Wangs still monopolize the officials?

It can be said that this move will also be a lore for the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!

"Since you chose to assassinate me back then, I will show no mercy to you!"

Li Ke sneered, he was looking forward to the reaction of Wu Xing Qi Wang next.

Continue to send people to assassinate him?

Then he might let the Shenji Battalion demonstrate the actual combat power of artillery for the first time in this world!

Soon, three days passed.

Today is the day when the bookstore is officially opened and the books are officially on sale.

The owner of the bookstore reported to him yesterday that all the books were delivered to the bookstores in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

And according to his instructions, it will be officially launched today.

Early in the morning, newspapers were delivered to the doors of subscribers in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

At the same time, the newspaper sellers carried newspapers on their backs and sold them on the street.

"Extraordinary! The bookstore opened by His Royal Highness King Wu officially opened in Yangzhou and Suzhou today!"

"Wu King's Royal Highness Wenqu stars descend to the world, "Book of Changes" only sells 20 Wen a volume, and the whole book only costs 80 Wen!"

"There are not many books, first come, first served!"

A newspaper seller shouted the important information in the newspaper loudly on the street.

And the shouts of the newspaper sellers, as well as the information they shouted, immediately attracted everyone's attention!

"Did I hear you right? This boy said that "Book of Changes" only sells for 20 Wen?"

"I heard it too, the whole "Book of Changes" only sells for 80 articles!"

"Is it true? Why don't I believe it? One volume of Zhouyi written by hand costs as much as one article!"

"The printed version also costs about 1 liter, but this only needs 20 liters?"

"I heard that it is a bookstore opened by His Highness King Wu?"

"Young man, bring me a newspaper!"

"I want one too!"

Everyone couldn't believe the information they heard, so they chose to buy a newspaper one after another!

They want to see for themselves whether this is true or not!

Soon, they bought the newspaper and read each word carefully!

"It turned out to be true!"

"One volume of "Book of Changes" has 20 essays, and the whole volume only has 80 essays!"

""Book of Rites" is also very cheap, at least 50 times cheaper than the manuscript!"

"The Analects of Confucius is so cheap!"

Soon, everyone saw the contents of the newspaper, written clearly in black and white!

Those newspaper sellers just now were not talking nonsense, but the truth!

They have never doubted the authenticity of the information published in the newspaper.

You must know that the Datang Daily is published by His Royal Highness Wu Wang, and every piece of information on it is true, and there has never been any false news.

Now, since the Datang Daily says that books are so cheap, they must be so cheap!

"Go to the bookstore!"

Everyone reacted immediately, and then all ran towards the bookstore.

Addresses of all bookstores in Yangzhou and Suzhou were written in the newspaper.

Many illiterate people gather near the teahouse as usual every day, order a pot of tea and listen to free newspapers.

"His Royal Highness Wu Wang opened a bookstore, "Book of Changes" has 20 essays in one volume, and only 80 essays for the whole book!"

The newspaper reader read the news in shock.

boom!

This news was like a depth bomb that exploded in the teahouse, and everyone's faces were full of disbelief!

Although they are illiterate and have not read books, it does not mean that they do not know the price of books!

That is a book that costs 1 penny for every volume, no matter how cheap it is, it costs 1 penny for a book!

Now it only costs 20 Wen?

"Sir, are you reading correctly?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at the newspaper reader, and asked in disbelief.

The newspaper readers themselves doubted whether there was something wrong with their eyes.

After hearing everyone's words, he rubbed his eyes slightly, and then looked at it again.

"That's right, that's what it says in the newspaper!"

The newspaper reader nodded with certainty. He had read it several times, and he was indeed right.

Unless the newspaper misprinted it, it means that there are really 20 volumes of the Book of Changes!

"Whether it's true or not, just go to the bookstore and ask!"

Everyone got up one after another, stopped drinking tea, and stopped listening to newspapers.

He got up and ran quickly towards the bookstore.

Because they want to know if the news is true.

If it is true, the significance of the representative is too great!

This means that they may also be able to send their own children to study!

Being able to read is equivalent to changing your destiny!

Even if they don't pass the imperial examination, being able to read and write can be a newspaper reader, it's much better than they don't know a single character.

If they had such cheap books in the past, I am afraid they would be a talent now to say the least!

Soon, a large number of people gathered at the door of the bookstore in Yangzhou City.

Everyone came here after hearing the news after reading the newspaper.

They came to the bookstore for only one purpose.

That is, to make sure that what the newspaper says is true.

Books, are they really so cheap!

Seeing more and more people at the door of the bookstore, the shopkeeper of the bookstore also stood up.

"Everyone, I know what everyone wants to ask."

"I'm here to tell everyone that the prices in the newspapers are all true!"

"All the books in the bookstore are sold according to the price marked in the newspaper, and we will never charge an extra penny!"

The shopkeeper's expression is also very excited, he understands everyone's mood very well.

So I didn't make a fool of myself, I just stood up and told everyone.

Everything in the newspapers is true!

Books are so cheap!

PS: Fifth more! .

Chapter 197 Collecting Business Tax!Allow the children of merchants to take the imperial examination?

boom!

Following the announcement from the shopkeeper of the bookstore, all the people at the scene were excited!

It turned out that what the newspaper said was true!

The price of the book has actually dropped to 20 papers per volume!

This means that they can afford books and send their children to study!
