Chapter 194 Building a Business Circle (2)
"No, old money, you, fifty taels of silver will sell your Royal Highness?!" Looking at the fifty taels of silver on the windowsill, I didn't get angry at all.
"No, it's not, one, one hundred taels." Old Qian twitched a face and stretched out a finger to compare.
After following Li Chengqian for a long time, Lao Qian knew that the highness he served did not care about the shortcomings of his subordinates, but the premise was to be honest, or loyal.
No matter what happens, how much trouble you cause, as long as you make it clear to him, don't hide it and don't report it, generally speaking, this highness will not really care.
"One hundred taels?" Li Chengqian smacked his lips and hooked his finger at the old money: "Take it all and put it here." ”
Looking at the old money with a painful face, Li Chengqian, who wanted to send him away, shook his head, fiddled with a few ingots of silver on the windowsill and said: "The next time I sell your Royal Highness, if it is less than one thousand taels, you will discount your legs and climb back to Chang'an, understand?" ”
"I understand." Old Qian replied with a sad face.
"Alright, don't cry, and then, fuck off." Speechless, he glanced at Lao Qian, Li Chengqian grabbed two ingots of silver and threw them in his arms and said.
"Your Highness, are you too fond of this product?" Wu Chen hugged his arms and leaned against the window, and said to Li Chengqian with his head sideways.
"You also get out of the way, Lao Tzu spoiled him, didn't he spoil you? Whose guards are not as big or small as you, look at what you are standing like now, you are not even as good as a ruffian, it is a shame for Lao Tzu. Grabbed a piece of silver and smashed it directly on Wu Chen, Li Chengqian complained.
"Thank you for your highness." Wu Chen's eyes were in a hurry, and he didn't wait for the silver to hit his body, he grabbed it in his hand, and said with a hippie smile.
Counting the more than three months that Zongzheng Temple has lived together, Wu Chen has been by Li Chengqian's side for about half a year, and he has long known what kind of character they have with each other, so naturally he will not be polite to Li Chengqian, and the silver will be stuffed directly into his arms.
"If you take the money, you have to do something, go and find Xuan Ce and Long Tu." Seeing that Wu Chen's pair of thief eyes were still staring at the silver on the windowsill, Li Chengqian hurriedly covered himself in his arms, looked at him vigilantly and said.
"Whoa." Noisy and noisy, when it comes to business, Wu Chen didn't dare to delay, and went to find someone after answering.
Li Chengqian fused two souls, and he was smart, but he was still unclear about what the people of the Tang Dynasty looked like, so he decided to discuss it with Wang Xuance and Bao Longtu.
Don't be like those officials now, who have done bad things with good intentions.
"I've seen Your Highness." Wang Xuance and Lao Bao came in one after the other, and sat down in turn after the salute.
"Xuan Ce, if you are free these days, would it be good to take a trip to Qufu?" After a few idle words with Wang and Bao, Li Chengqian asked Wang Xuance with a straight face.
"Well, tomorrow Xuan Ce can set off, but I don't know what His Highness commands." Wang Xuance has been mixed under Li Chengqian for a few days, and he is worried that he has no chance to show his ambitions, but now that the opportunity has come, he naturally will not miss it, where will he wait for a few more days.
"There's no urgency in this matter, after you have the charter, it's not too late for you to set off again." Li Chengqian used his words to hold down the restless old Wang.
Turning his head to Bao Longtu and said, "Longtu, do you have any friends in Shandong?" Do you share your ambitions? Would you like to teach those poor students? ”
"There are a few friends, but I can't say that I know each other, whether I want to teach Hanmen, Long Tu doesn't dare to guarantee" Lao Bao said hesitantly.
After coming out of Kaifeng for so long, Lao Bao was about to go crazy by the twelve dolls, and almost forgot that there was such a thing as running a school.
Physical disability and mixed in society for a long time, each of the twelve dolls has the right idea, and will always come up with some new tricks, and the old bag is very difficult to say during this time.
But Du Lao Bao is a guy who admits death, and promises to teach these twelve dolls, so it must be done, and the result is the current situation, one can't teach, and twelve can't learn.
"Writing a book is the wish of every reader, if I promise them to publish a book for them, does Long Tu think these people will come out?" Li Chengqian is actually very unaccustomed to the current way of speaking, but in order not to make Lao Bao and Wang Xuance feel that they look down on them, they have to talk like this.
"Has Your Highness ever thought that publishing a book is by no means a matter of two dollars of money, if there is no strong financial support, I am afraid that it will be ......." Wang Xuance couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard Li Chengqian's promise, for fear that he wouldn't know that something was serious, so he spoke out to dissuade him.
"You don't have to worry about printing, I have my own way to pay for it, and now the only thing I'm worried about is that those people won't come, and the other is the family." Speaking of the family, Li Chengqian frowned again, and secretly sighed that these guys were really everywhere, as if he would meet them in whatever he did.
"Your Highness, the minister knows that you have strong financial resources, but if you think about it, a book will be at least tens or hundreds of silver dollars, if you open the seal, I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to withstand it." Wang Xuance was shocked by Li Chengqian's 'atmosphere', and once again tried his best to dissuade him.
Li Chengqian looked at Lao Bao with a look of agreement, and found that if he didn't explain things clearly, these two 'cultural people' would probably not support him. simply ignored Wang Xuance, stretched his head to the window and shouted: "Wu Chen, find some candles and rice paper for your Royal Highness." ”
Then, Li Chengqian began to get busy, first asking Wu Chen to light the candle, and then dripping the wax oil onto the rice paper. When the whole sheet of paper is full, remove the wax little by little and replace it with the other side to continue the last operation.
For most of the hour, Li Chengqian and Wu Chen were busy under the bewildered gaze of Wang Xuance and Bao Longtu, until the entire paper was stained with wax and oil.
"Look at it." Glancing at Wang and Bao with contempt, Li Chengqian held a small branch picked up from the yard and wrote the words 'Li Chengqian' in big words on wax paper.
Then he picked up the ink-stained brush and scribbled it on the wax paper.
After picking up the wax paper, the paper below was clearly printed: Li Chengqian, three words.
"This, this, this ......" Lao Bao's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, Li Chengqian had already painted four sheets, and the name of 'Li Chengqian' was clearly printed on the four sheets.
Wang Xuance also completely lost his language ability, and was completely shocked by the printing method that Li Chengqian came up with.
This is a new printing method, wax paper batch processing does not need to take so much effort at all, the cost will be much smaller, rice paper may be expensive, but again, this thing can be reused.
Printing in this way can completely reduce the cost of a book to a very low degree, compared with the previous way, the lettering has become writing, but there is no need to find a special craftsman, from this point of view, the threshold for printing books has also been lowered.
"How? Two, will the cost come down in this way? In the stunned eyes of Wang Xuance and Bao Longtu, Li Chengqian said proudly like a proud little rooster, with his nostrils facing the sky.
