Chapter 209: A Business for Li Xiaogong
Li Xiaogong pointed Li Chengqian fiercely with his finger for a long time, and finally did not say a complete sentence, probably really angry with him.
In the end, Li Xiaogong yelled at the Xuanjia guards who followed: "This village has been sealed for Lao Tzu, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”
"Whoa!" After answering neatly, the whole village was completely monitored in the sound of the nail leaves.
For a while, everyone in the courtyard was a little dumbfounded, including Li Chengqian, and none of them could figure out what was going on.
"What do you want me to say about you, where did all your usual cleverness go." Li Xiaogong didn't care about the others, and taught Li Chengqian a hard lesson when he took it aside.
"Uncle Wang, what's going on, what kind of trouble are you making here?" Li Chengqian looked at the frightened villagers and asked with a frown.
"Don't talk yet, the old man asks you, did you make this printing method?" Li Xiaogong's face was extremely serious, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Is there anyone else here?" Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said.
"Why are you so careless, if this printing method is taken by outsiders, do you know what the consequences will be." Li Xiaogong said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiaogong with some astonishment, and it took a long time to remember what he meant. This old guy is afraid that after the spread of movable type printing, the cost of printing books will drop, and he will not be able to make a lot of money at that time.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, smacking his lips and saying, "Uncle Wang, didn't I say you, can we have a bigger pattern?" ”
"What's the pattern?" Li Xiaogong has some technical vocabulary that he can't understand in later generations.
"It's vision, take a long-term view, broaden your horizon, and don't limit yourself to a little bit of money in front of you." Li Chengqian sighed and explained little by little.
As a result, Li Xiaogong blinked for a long time with big eyes after hearing this, and said with an angry face: "You dare to say that Lao Tzu is a mouse-eyed? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you. ”
Pushing away the big hand that was about to enter his nostrils, Li Chengqian said solemnly: "Does Uncle Wang know how many readers can be cultivated after the price of books is lowered?" How much wealth will these scholars create for Datang? ”
Li Chengqian values the income of the state treasury, while Li Xiaogong values the income of his own treasury, which is the so-called ass deciding the head. Li Xiaogong is a county king no matter what, and his thoughts are different from Li Chengqian, who is about to take over a country.
"But ......" listened to Li Chengqian's explanation and made Li Xiaogong understand a lot, but thinking of the lost money, the king of Hejian was a little reluctant.
But after all, the new way of printing books was made by Li Chengqian, and although Li Xiaogong is an uncle, he does not have much say in how to use it.
"It's nothing, I asked Uncle Wang just now, how about giving you a business, you said you didn't want it." Li Chengqian spread out his hand and made a helpless expression at the same time.
"What?" Li Xiaogong's voice suddenly rose, with an expression of wanting to eat people, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the wooden shelf, and asked in disbelief: "You said that this is what you gave me?" ”
"Of course, what do you think it will be? Cement plant? It's from the Carboniko Division, so you can't give it away. Li Chengqian said with a serious face, in fact, he was already smiling in his heart.
He himself is the crown prince, and it is impossible for him to really open a printing house, if he hangs the printing house in the name of the Carboniferous Division, it is okay, but that would be too hateful.
Li Chengqian, who had collided with the family once, had already learned a lesson, and knew that the behemoth of the family was by no means something that he could collide with head-on now, and if he wanted to deal with them, he had to hide behind, and then find someone to fight the thunder.
Before Li Xiaogong came to Shandong, Li Chengqian was still worried that he could not find a person who could not be thundered in Shandong, and planned to pull the Kong family into the water, but now it seems that there is no need, a veteran of Tiance Mansion is enough, and if the situation is good, more people can be pulled into the water.
"Are you really going to give this to the old man?" Li Xiaogong thought about it for a long time between money and his old face, and finally chose money, and bowed his arrogant head to Li Chengqian, the 'demon' who wielded countless small money.
"One year of operating rights." Li Chengqian stretched out a finger, shook it, and continued: "And I don't care about the price of other people's books, but I must print books at cost price." ”
"A year?" Li Xiaogong shook his head dissatisfiedly and stretched out a slap: "Five years." ”
"Two years, no more." Pressing Li Xiaogong's big hand down, Li Chengqian stretched out two fingers.
"Four years." Li Xiaogong's flesh pain has been reduced by a year.
"Two years, not more than a year." Li Chengqian shook his head and said.
"That's all three years, right?" Li Xiaogong felt that countless small coins were flying out of his pocket.
"It's only two years." Li Chengqian bit the bullet for two years and didn't let go, and when he saw that Li Xiaogong was going to say more, he stopped and continued: "Two years is already the limit, this kind of thing is just an idea, and it won't even take two years for movable type printing to leak out." ”
"At that time, the other printing houses were stealing our business without giving us any benefit, and I would never allow that to happen. So you only have two years, and after two years I'll publish movable type. Li Chengqian's words are categorical, and Li Xiaogong cannot refuse at all.
Li Xiaogong is not a fool, after listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, he slowly figured out the trick here, and felt that what his nephew said was very reasonable.
It is indeed better to let those who are not famous make money with themselves, it is indeed better to make money for two years honestly, and then smash the bowl, and everyone drinks the wind together.
"Your Highness, why is there martial law outside?" When the uncle and nephew were conspiring to make money, Bao Longtu hurriedly walked into the courtyard from outside.
"Long Tu, come here." Li Chengqian beckoned to Bao Longtu from afar, called him to him, pointed at Li Xiaogong and said, "This is the king of Hejian County, just look for him in the future about the printing house." ”
"I've seen the King of the River." After Lao Bao gave Li Xiaogong a serious salute, he continued to ask Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, why is there martial law outside?" ”
"In order to prevent leaks, movable type printing has no technical content, and it is easy for our enemies to learn from it, and when the time comes, it will turn out to provide them with funds for their activities." Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and said that he wanted to panic, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat.
"Oh." Although Lao Bao is stubborn, he is not unreasonable, and he knows that martial law is not aimed at the people, so he does not care about this issue.
And Li Xiaogong, who was standing on the side, clearly saw Wei Zheng's shadow from Lao Bao's body, and even the stubborn bones in that body were three points stronger than Wei Zheng.
Thinking about Wei Zheng's stubborn donkey-like temperament, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but cast a pitying look at Li Chengqian, poor baby, I am afraid that the hard days in the future will only be long.
