Chapter 1134: Announcing Two Techniques

1134. Announcing two techniques

Hulong Villa, Li Pojun saw Zhai Changsun and others who had not been seen for two months, inspected the barracks, nearly 9,000 sergeants were still training in an orderly manner, Li Pojun went to the back mountain to see the three factories that got up early, and the most memorable thing for Li Pojun was the row of brick houses built.

Cuihua Mountain is very large, Hulong Villa is only at the mountain pass, when the factory was built behind the mountain, it was only built with a shack in a ravine and ravine, and now it has simply undergone earth-shaking changes, the shacks have become bright brick houses, the mountain path has also become a smooth avenue, the vehicles coming and going are endless, the materials are transported in and out of the finished products, the road is connected to the official road in the south of the city, and the traffic is also very convenient.

Several villages in the mountains are more lively, and even a market is next to the avenue outside the factory, and there is not much land available for cultivation in Cuihua Mountain, so it was originally just a few small villages in the mountains, and the population is not large, but now it has developed into a village and town with a lot of people relying on three large factories and relying on the Dragon Villa.

Li Zheng, who accompanied him, also smiled when he saw Li Pojun's amazed appearance: "Now Furen Village is a big village, and it is estimated that it will develop into a township in two years if it continues like this."

Li Pojun is also very satisfied, this is the benefit of development, not only to make money himself, but also to drive the surrounding villagers, this is only the three factories he got to drive, just a pilot microcosm, if the whole country is like this, pay attention to industry and commerce, Datang prosperity, just around the corner.

"Where is the branch factory now?" After reading the printing house, the workers were busy printing one book after another with movable type, and the air was filled with the smell of ink, Li Pojun turned his head and asked.

Li is the general manager, responsible for the operation of all factories and restaurant tea shops, naturally knows it well, and immediately said: "Because we have done a good job of secrecy, and now the technology of movable type printing is still monopolized, so the printed books on the market are basically all from the royal factory. At present, the printing factories are only in Hangzhou in Jiangnan Province, Yizhou in Jiannan Province, Xiangzhou in Shannan Province, Liangzhou in Longyou Province, Jizhou in Hebei Province, and Luoyang in Henan Province.

After hearing what Li Zheng said, Li Pojun was taken aback and asked directly: "How much is a copy of "Analects" on the market now?" ”

"The ex-factory price we print is 100 yuan, and what we sell in our own bookstore is about 150 yuan, and the wholesale sales should be about 200 to 500 yuan, of course, there are also black merchants who raise the price or sell it in remote areas for more expensive." Li Zheng was naturally clear about this, and he didn't understand why Li Pojun was a little stunned.

"A hundred bucks? Dou rice (12.5 catties) is only four or five yuan, this mountain of trees allows you to make paper, and the wage is low, how can you sell it for a hundred yuan, you can buy 20 buckets of rice, which shows that a family of five needs to save several months of rations to buy a book? It's ridiculous, it's okay to make money, but there's no need to be so exploitative. Books are a way to disseminate knowledge, expand people's wisdom and educate talents for the country...... It's useless to tell you so much, from tomorrow, the price will be reduced, and every copy will be sold...... I don't know the market, and it's not easy to set the price, so you go and discuss it with someone, in short, I want the price of books in the market not to be inflated." Li Pojun frowned and shouted.

Books are sold so expensive, it must not be his intention, he didn't plan to make money by selling books, the appearance of printing technology is to pry the foundation of the family, not to let the family monopolize the knowledge of the printing of books, so that more poor children in the world can read books, this is Li Pojun's original intention.

"Ah, Lang Jun, this ...... Our pricing is low enough, you must know that there is no manuscript or engraved book on the market below the usual price, last year's imperial court issued a book offering order, no matter how cherished, no matter thick or not, it is stipulated that "there are those who enter, all give a thousand dollars", we sell a hundred yuan a copy is the cheapest." Li Zheng was also taken aback by Li Pojun's words, and hurriedly explained.

When Wei Zheng was the secretary and supervisor (director of the National Library) last year, he was ordered to sort out ancient books and rescue culture, so he called on people with books to come and donate books, and to copy or carve a book is to reward a thousand dollars, and then treasure the manuscripts.

The price of a manuscript or engraved book on the market is not lower than a thousand yuan (consistent), so it seems that the factory price of a book is indeed not expensive.

However, this still could not satisfy Li Pojun.

After thinking about it immediately, he said without hesitation: "Then announce the movable type printing, reduce the price across the board, and make a few pennies per copy on top of the cost."

What the? Li Zheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Lang Jun, this ...... If this is announced for movable type printing, and the price is lowered first, then the printing house will not make money, and in this way, the use of the Shence Army will be greatly reduced."

"What nonsense, this in itself cannot be measured by money, it is enough to earn it for so long, and another story when there is no money. Tomorrow you will go to hold a press conference, well, it is to gather all the bookstores and printing bookstores in Chang'an City, and announce movable type printing in public, on the other hand, I will ask the people from the Ministry of Industry and Household to cooperate with you in publicity, you must let the world know movable type printing, and you can no longer let the family monopolize it, understand? Li Pojun looked at Li Zheng with his back and said solemnly, this kid has no heart for the country and the people at all, and he has completely lost his money.

Although Li Zheng was a little reluctant to make that huge profit, he did not discount Li Pojun's order at all, and immediately responded, thought about it and asked tentatively: "Lang Jun, since movable type printing has been announced, but without our papermaking technology, it will not work, and the price of books will still not be reduced, so do you want to announce your improved papermaking technology?" ”

Li Pojun was stunned when he heard this, and his face was incredulous, "Why do you even keep your papermaking skills secret?" ”

"Uh, Lang Jun, you said you wanted to keep it secret, take your time, if you don't keep it secret, you will lose money at the factory price. The outside world has never known that we have cheaper and faster paper-making technology, and they thought that we were losing money and making money, and the people said that the books of the royal group were money and the benevolent government of the imperial court." Li Zheng also saw Li Pojun's thoughts, and was busy relieving himself. His price is not all lost in the eyes of money, he is also very much for the country and the people.

Li Pojun also looked at Li Zheng when he heard this, patted his shoulder and said, "Very good, I'm very happy that Ah Zheng has come to his senses, so let's announce the two together." After that, he said earnestly: "Ah Zheng, you know that making money in my identity is only secondary, and being able to make money for the country and the people is for my own good, do you understand?" ”

"I understand, that's why I said it was the Royal Group, although we are making money, but we don't make too much, Lang Jun rest assured." Li Zheng was busy patting his chest and said.
