The big deal is that when the time comes, he will sing the red face and Li Chengqian will sing the bad face. It would be a good match for the two of them.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about my son's work!"

With Li Chengqian's guarantee, Li Shimin didn't worry about anything anymore.

……

Two days later, a large number of books appeared in Anle Square in Chang'an City.

Among them is a bookstore called Datang Publishing House that sells them.

All books are clearly priced, and the price is only one-tenth of the current price.

Even so, the price per [-] words is still around [-] Wen.Because of the paper, the price of the book can only drop to one-tenth.

It exploded like a heavy bomb, setting off a huge wave.

At this time, movable type printing was born with a gesture of worldwide attention.

A large number of books filled the entire city of Chang'an. Chang'an was Li Chengqian's pilot project. If it was done well, it would spread directly outside the Tang Dynasty.

Such a low price has caused a frenzy of buying by many people who live relatively well.

Books are valuable, knowledge is priceless, and knowledge can affect an era.

Li Chengqian's actions caused the aristocratic family who had monopolized education for thousands of years to panic.

A huge storm is brewing in the peaceful city of Chang'an.

Then let the storm come more violently!He has never been afraid of anyone!

Chapter 314 Digging Your Roots (Part [-])

In ancient times, reading was not something that casual people could read. It was very difficult for some relatively wealthy people to read, especially for poor students.

The main reason is that the price of the book is too expensive.

Although Cai Lun invented papermaking in the Han Dynasty, the technology did not improve much in the Tang Dynasty, and the price of paper was relatively expensive, which prevented the price of books from falling to a certain extent.

Well, since you can't afford it, you can borrow it.

So borrowing books became a phenomenon that couldn't be more realistic in the Tang Dynasty.

But borrowing books is not an easy task. First of all, you have to have a thick skin, and then you also need to know scholars, not only those who travel long distances for good books.

Even so, not every bibliophile is willing to lend books to others.

Especially like the powerful family, they have a collection of thousands of books, and they are never willing to treat people lightly, let alone borrow people.

What did Li Chengqian bring? Why did movable type printing arouse turbulent waves?

It is because it has greatly reduced the price of books to one-tenth of the original price.

So, once it was published, it spread among the circle of poor scholars, like a hurricane, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and hundreds spreads to thousands...and so on.

What happened is that the city is full of wind and rain, everyone knows it, 6 every place is discussing this matter, and at the same time, some interested people have begun to praise the court's approach.

……

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng were discussing the next plan.

At this time, someone came to report: "Report to His Royal Highness, there is a situation!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

"Yes! Since the opening of Datang Publishing House, a total of 20 books have been sold in three consecutive days! At this time, the publishing house is still rushing to print! Among them...the Wang family and the Cui family have purchased [-] books alone!"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he laughed.

It seemed that his guess was correct. Changsun Wuji went to the Wang family and the Cui family to explain the situation. He said that the cost of the book was one-fifth of the original cost. But more and more books were printed.

"His Royal Highness, this is..."

Wei Zheng asked aside.

"The eldest grandson Wuji thought that the king was making money at a loss. How could he know that even if it was one-tenth of the original profit, our profit would still be more than half! Now the Wang family and the Cui family are bleeding heavily. One hundred thousand copies, five Thousands of dollars!"

This money is more profitable than any business I have done before!Of course Li Chengqian hoped that they would buy more!The more the merrier!

Wei Zheng had never worked with Li Chengqian before, and when he heard this, he felt a chill down his back.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian was not an enemy, otherwise this...

Of course, it is impossible to be an enemy to them. They are doing things for the people sincerely.What reason does he have to oppose Li Chengqian!

"Let them buy it, and keep buying it!"

Li Chengqian said so.

But Xiao Huangmen said: "His Royal Highness, they don't seem to buy it!"

"Huh? Did you find out so soon? It's better not to buy it, and it's best to give the opportunity to scholars! After a while, the king will lower the price, let them buy it! Kill them!"

Changsun Wuji must be trying to use means to force the publishing house to close down!

But from this point of view, the price of the book did not drop, which made the two families panic.

Completely helpless.

People say that people don't fight with officials, let alone businessmen?

No matter how strong the family is, is it stronger than Li Chengqian?Is it stronger than the court?

Totally impossible!Li Chengqian has already calculated the profit, no matter how cheap it is, there is still profit to be made.

There is no such thing as a loss in education!

Li Chengqian knew that their thoughts had changed as time went by.

This is not at all about making money at a loss, this is about digging their roots!

Why are they so strong, because there are many people who read books, and there is no need to worry about the expensive books.

Now that the price of books has dropped by more than [-]% at once, children from poor families can afford to read books!

Their monopoly on scholars will be challenged.

Panic broke out within the Five Surnames Qiwang, especially the Wang family and the Cui family.
