Chapter 561: Yoo Chun's Treasure House
Liu Chun found out that Zhu Di should be a mouse, and he was also a treasure hunting mouse, and he just made some money, so he got up...... What's wrong with the people of the old Zhu family, they are obviously rich from all over the world, and they are nine or five supreme, why do they care so much about small money?
The more Liu Chun thought about it, the more confused he became, he couldn't help but go out to greet him, but when he went out, Liu Chunzheng saw Zhu Zhanji who was endorsing in the courtyard.
This little guy is different from his father and his grandfather.
Three generations of a nobleman, it seems to have been fulfilled in him, the little guy is polite, diligent and studious, after coming to the mansion, there is no delicate air at all, just like a little adult.
Even Yoo Chun has nothing to fault with.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged Zhu Zhanji in his arms.
"Let's go, come with me to pick up your imperial grandfather."
Zhu Zhanji nodded obediently, and the little guy said again: "Master, I asked the second uncle to help me explain, but I can't understand what the second uncle said, do you have time to tell me?" ”
Liu Chun chuckled, "Of course you can, but you have to remember, help me deal with your imperial grandfather for a while, and everything depends on my eyes!" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Zhanji happily agreed.
"Your Majesty, the minister is late to greet you, please forgive your Majesty."
Zhu Di didn't care, "Our name is Junchen, but in fact we are a family, so we don't need to be so polite." ”
"Your Majesty loves you, but you can't ignore the rules." Liu Chun said lightly, he knew Zhu Di too well, this guy said it so politely, he must have no good intentions, most likely he came to fight the autumn breeze.
Liu Chun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the book of rites says that if you hold your grandson or not your son, this child should be handed over to Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Di happily stretched out his hand and took Zhu Zhanji over.
I shook it hard, and it was heavy. Then pinch the muscles and bones, it is very strong...... Zhu Di was satisfied, "The child is strong, not bad!" Did you read? ”
"Back to the emperor's grandfather's words, my grandson read it."
"What did you read?"
"I read Mengxue's book, read 300,000, and read Shigong's Theory of the Wealth of Nations, but my grandson didn't understand it, and I was afraid that Shigong would scold me."
Zhu Di laughed, "You are a lot, you read a lot more books than Grandpa Huang back then, which is already very good." You should learn to bow and ride a horse, this is what boys have to learn, is it okay for the imperial grandfather to let Rongguo teach you? ”
"Okay, my grandson would love to ride a big horse."
Zhu Di took it easy and stuffed Zhu Zhanji to Mu En behind him, "You go, take the imperial grandson to see Zhang Yu, let him lead it, go to the military camp to have a look, go quickly!" ”
Mu En nodded hurriedly, hugged Zhu Zhanji and walked quickly, the little guy was confused, what's going on? Why did you take me away?
Didn't my master ask me to help? Shi Gong ...... I'm sorry!
Where can poor Zhu Zhanji fight his imperial grandfather! Zhu Di sent him away with a word.
"Let's talk about things, children, don't get involved."
Liu Chun rolled his eyes angrily, he originally wanted Zhu Zhanji to be a shield, but now he was taken away by Zhu Di, and made it clear that Zhu Laosi was going to be a scoundrel.
Sure enough, as soon as the two monarchs and ministers sat down, Zhu Di said: "I asked 30,000 copies of "The Wealth of Nations" to be printed below, but I didn't expect it to be sold out in less than two days, what a miracle!" ”
Liu Chun stiffened his face, "Back to Your Majesty, it's actually nothing, in the final analysis, it's a long time since there has been a lack of books to study real knowledge." Scholars put their energy on poetry and songs, and the sage's subtle words, these things can't be said to be useless, but the common people say well, they can only set up a pot to cook rice, not a pot to cook the truth. ”
"The minister was at the right time and wrote something that followed the trend...... Your Majesty, the minister feels that the imperial court should guide the scholars to truly study the people's livelihood and diseases. For example, how to build bridges, how to control water, how to run the economy, how to promote education. The minister also has a suggestion, that is, to take the opportunity of changing the yuan next year to open up Enke and select some really useful talents......
No matter what Liu Chun said, Zhu Di nodded, and the smile on his face never changed.
"Liu Qing was far-sighted, and I wrote it down...... Let's stop talking about empty words, let's say something useful! Like this time, how much did you earn? ”
Liu Chun almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and shouted strangely: "Your Majesty, do you still remember such a trivial matter?" ”
Zhu Di was angry, "Liu Chun, tell you, I checked the record and knew how you played it right with your father." Therefore, the set of methods you are used to will not work when it comes to me. I just want to hear how much money you can make? ”
Zhu Di's virtue is simply not beaten and beaten, and Liu Chun has no idea about him.
If you want to count, then count it!
In fact, Zhu Di miscalculated one thing...... He felt that there were millions of people in the capital, and there were only two or three hundred thousand literate people, and not everyone was interested in the Wealth of Nations, so the first batch of 30,000 books was enough, maybe a little less, but this could just create a hot selling atmosphere.
But in fact, Zhu Di miscalculated, and made a big mistake.
First of all, all the officials admired the Wealth of Nations, so how could the scribes below not buy it and take a look.
The various yamen in the capital digested thousands of copies at once.
Taixue and Jimingshan Academy and other places also digested five or six thousand copies.
The most important thing is that the merchants in Beijing finally saw a book written for them, and these people bought it on a large scale and became the main consumers.
You must know that no books in the past have been popular with businessmen, and Liu Chun is the first person to open the world.
These three waves of people alone can easily consume 30,000 copies, and it is far from enough.
The army still needs a few thousand copies, and overseas merchants also need it, if this is the end of the matter, it is too underestimate the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty.
In Beiping, the demand for "The Wealth of Nations" will only be higher than that of the capital, with a conservative estimate of 50,000 copies, and Suzhou, as an important commercial town, is also very much in demand.
Daming has a population of 60 million, and there should be about 10 million living in the city, which is 500,000 according to 5 percent!
"With so many sales, you dare to say that you don't make money?" Zhu Di asked.
Liu Chun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the money from the sale of books is not the minister's, and I can only get twenty percent of a book, that is, one hundred wen." 500,000 copies, calculated down to only 50,000 taels, of course, because of the hot sales, will also give a little dividend to the minister, the total will not exceed 100,000 taels. Overall, it's still a little money, it's really a little money. The minister has not earned much as the Third Highness! He fished 200,000 taels, but the ministers didn't even go to him to ask for it! ”
Zhu Di frowned, "Is there really only that?" You're not hiding it from me, are you? ”
Liu Chun spread his hands, "There is really no, how many books you sell are taxed, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the household department to check, the minister is innocent and clean." ”
Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "One hundred thousand taels is not too little, you got it for nothing." I printed 30,000 copies for you, and you have to pay for it. ”
100,000 taels, it is indeed not worth extorting, but Zhu Di is not a loser, he originally printed books, because he was worried that he would not sell so much, Liu Chun would lose money, since Liu Chun made it, he didn't care.
"For these 30,000 copies, the minister will pay for it, but the minister will only pay the cost price."
Zhu Di was very disappointed, "You have made money, can't you be generous?" Zhu Di said viciously: "Liu Chun, do you know no, although I am a son of heaven, I don't have as much money as you!" ”
Zhu Laosi is also an unlucky bastard, and the money of the imperial court is in charge of the household department. The money in the house, Xu looked at it. made him a genius and rich all over the world, but in fact, he didn't have much money to move.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have seen Liu Chun get rich, so he couldn't wait to come to the door.
"Your Majesty, any book is the brainchild of the author. "The Wealth of Nations" is just the beginning, and there will be many bestsellers in the future, so Your Majesty can't compete with all the people who write books, right? ”
"Moreover, the ministers wrote books, let the officials and businessmen take them to study, and finally improve efficiency, and it was the Ming Dynasty who benefited. If Da Ming is good, His Majesty will be fine. Liu Chun said earnestly: "Your Majesty, we must respect copyright and creation!" Every word of this is our hard work, and it is really not easy. How many nights, painstaking, repeated scrutiny, for a word, a sentence, to go through ancient books, really, just a little hard-earned money, Your Majesty, can you still bear it? ”
Liu Chun was full of affection, tears flowed, complaining about the cruelty of the deprivers, telling the sadness of writing, it was so difficult, it was hard work, and it was life that burned!
Zhu Di swallowed and spitted, listening to Liu Chun's tone, he has simply become a villain who robs the fruits of other people's labor, am I that kind of person?
"Okay, don't cry poor, I won't do this for me, I want to go back to the palace, and I have to do military affairs."
Zhu Di took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat, so he could only retreat temporarily...... As soon as he left, Liu Chun couldn't wait, pushed open a secret door next to him, and when he walked in, there were all kinds of manuscripts on the shelves, at least dozens of kinds!
"The same 100,000 taels of net income, these add up, I'm afraid it's more valuable than the internal money!" Liu Chun casually picked up a copy of "The Theory of Sea Power" and showed a happy smile on his face......
