Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 219: Books are as expensive as onions! !

Views:

In front of Fantastic Culture.

After calming down the injured person, Li Zexuan thought for a while and then said: "Today, there may be many of you who don't need books at all. They came to buy them purely because the books here are cheap. Maybe some of you want to resell them. Make a lot of money out of this.

I don't care whether you really need it or you are just trying to make money. Since I am open for business, there is no reason to turn away customers. But for readers who really want to buy books, we will provide you with convenience. From now on, students no matter where they are, as long as you hold your student status guide, you can queue up at Funny Culture. We will give priority to students and members. "

"Okay! This way, it will be easier for us to buy books. Thank you Sir!"

"All the children from poor families in the world will remember the Lord's kindness!"

"Yes, thank you Sir!"

As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, bursts of cheers rang out from the crowd, mostly from scholars. They came here today to find out that such cheap books really existed. They couldn't help but feel mixed with joy and sorrow. Naturally, they were overjoyed that they could afford it. I’ve already read the book. What’s worrying is that for such a cheap book, many people will rush to buy it!

Now Li Zexuan has taken the initiative to give priority to supplying books to readers, but the probability of them buying books has been greatly increased. How can this not make them happy

The faces of the rest of the people in the audience darkened slightly when they heard this, but no one raised objections in person. Ever since they recognized the young man in front of them as Li Zexuan, the man who invented Quyuanli, their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Some of them even had some regrets in their hearts. Compared with Li Zexuan who devoted so much to farmers and scholars, their approach seemed a bit selfish. Therefore, many people began to regret that they should not have come to buy books with the intention of reselling them to make money. .

But there are still many people who still want to take advantage of this. Li Zexuan can't do anything about such people, but he still gives advice:

"For those who want to make money by reselling books about Fantastic Culture, I just want to say that if you want to make money, sell the books in your hands as soon as possible. In the future, the number of cheap books in our workshop will become more and more If there are more, the price will get lower and lower. Within three years, most people in our Tang Dynasty will be able to afford books. At that time, books will not be an item beyond the reach of ordinary people. In the next three years, books will be The price is as good as a green onion! I, Li Zexuan, do what I say!"

What Li Zexuan said was very powerful, but to others, it was like thunder! Since Cai Lun invented papermaking in the Han Dynasty, in the past six hundred years, the price of books has always been out of reach for ordinary people. Only wealthy people can afford them and collect them at home to show their noble status. .

Now Li Zexuan has made a bold statement that within three years, such high-quality and low-price books will be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. He also said that the price of books will be as high as onions. Many people think that this is a fantasy. The price of books is so high that it has been hundreds of years ago. How could he suddenly fall from heaven? It is simply unbelievable!

"So in the future everyone will be able to buy books about interesting culture? That's great!"

"But Lord Li said that the price of books will be as high as a green onion. Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Well, I don't believe it anyway!"

"I don't really believe it either!"

"I believe! Lord Li can definitely do what he says! Before the Quyuan Plow came out, did any of you think that there would be such a magical plow in the world that could be pulled by human power alone? But Lord Li can do it Here we are! I believe Sir Alex will be able to do it this time, and by then my children will be able to read and recognize words!"

"Yes, that's the truth. I also believe in Lord Li!"

"But this time, things are obviously more difficult than last time!"

… … …

Everyone in the audience was talking a lot, some were skeptical and some believed. When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he was so shocked that he almost pulled off his beard. He pulled Li Zexuan over and said quickly:

"Xiaoxuan, don't talk nonsense! It has been so difficult to lower the price of books in the past dynasties. How can you do it with your family's strength alone? Although I don't know where you got these cheap books today, I'm sorry. How much is it, but your scale is still small at present, and if you want to completely lower the price of my books in Datang, this is far from enough!"

Li Zexuan smiled confidently and said: "Uncle Yuchi, don't worry! Since my nephew dares to say this, he must be sure to do it. Let me tell you a secret, now our workshop has reduced the paper cost to less than 10% of other workshops! That's why There would be books as cheap as they are today!”

Yuchi Jingde was taken aback. He stared at the bull's eye and said, "Is this happening? How is the output of paper in your workshop? Can you supply it?"

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "This is the latest papermaking technology in our workshop. Your Majesty has already seen it. As for the output, the current output is certainly insufficient, but as our workshop further expands its production capacity in the future, we will definitely be able to supply it!"

Yuchi Jingde was completely shocked. He murmured to himself on the spot: "You are really capable! Fortunately, I don't have too many books at home. Otherwise, wouldn't it be great to see the prices of books at such high prices? Do you want to die of discomfort? Alas, if there really is a day like you said, when everyone can read books, then the Tang Dynasty will become an unprecedented prosperous age, and the era of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty will not be comparable! Haha!"

"May I have your name?"

After Yuchi Jingde sighed there for a while, he suddenly asked Si Ge from the Wuhou Mansion. How could he, a general from the Youwu Marquis and Guards Mansion, recognize such a junior official from the eighth rank

"Back to the general, the last general is Pang Feiji!"

Nasige quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists and replied. However, out of the corner of his eye, he still glanced at Sun Huaiyuan cautiously, praying in his heart that shopkeeper Sun would not complain to Yuchi Jingde, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Li Zexuan almost laughed when he heard this person's name, Pang Feiji, Pang Jiji, or Pang Feiji? Boy, your name is very meaningful!

"Um!"

Yuchi Jingde didn't have as many messy thoughts as Li Zexuan. He hummed lightly, and then said thoughtfully: "Pang Feiji, you will be responsible for the security of this interesting culture in the future. You have to lead people to patrol here every day. You are not allowed to If someone is fighting, causing trouble or doing illegal things here, you are also responsible for the safety of the books in this store to prevent thieves from stealing or destroying books. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"

The last words Yuchi Jingde said were so stern that Pang Feiji trembled with fright. He quickly bowed and accepted the order: "General, I will obey your order! Nothing will go wrong!"
