Zhao Feng did the math.

According to the price of goods, fifty stone of grain required 11,000 baht and five baht.

And the exchange standard given by Zhao Feng at the beginning was to exchange a gold cake for 15,000 baht.

To put it simply, the cost of this book in Zhao Feng's hand is one gold!

Of course, after the price skyrocketed, Zhao Feng naturally stopped exchanging gold cakes with foreign countries, and usually only bought gold cakes from outside.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "The cost is still expensive!" ”

Then he shook his head: "But there is no way to do it." ”

Zhao Feng is still not satisfied with the paper that can be printed at present.

It is far from meeting the requirements in Zhao Feng's mind.

Of course, the level of Zhao Feng's paper in the future generations is naturally incomparable to the paper made by the current technology.

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and then waved at Zhao Feng: "The lord has a misunderstanding." ”

"This volume of 'University' really cost fifty stone of grain."

"But if it is printed in large quantities in the future, it will only cost five stones of grain at most!"

Zhao Feng was also stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out.

Tian Feng's meaning is that this first volume of the university was printed into a book, and there must have been various situations along the way.

That's why it took a lot of money to print the "University" into a book.

To put it simply, I have failed at least ten copies of "University" before.

After all, if you want to hand it over to Zhao Feng, the requirements will naturally be much higher.

In the future, there will be no such surprises.

In addition, even if there are some typos in books printed for others in the future, it doesn't matter, anyway, they can be modified by the user for a second time.

Then Zhao Feng calculated in his heart that the price of five stone grains, before the price was not chaotic, was 1,100 baht and five baht.

According to Zhao Feng's exchange ratio of one thousand, it is almost a silver cake.

With the advantages of books in all aspects, the cost of a silver cake and a book is still not too expensive.

After all, people who are willing to collect books are at least wealthy and powerful, and this money is naturally nothing.

As for ordinary people, with the current situation, Zhao Feng is not capable of popularizing it.

However, the advent of books can still be provided to students in large quantities for the early age and illiteracy stage.

After literacy, you can carve a copy of the bamboo slip yourself.

This also goes a long way in popularizing the basics.

After the cost of paper drops, Zhao Feng will go to full popularity, and he will be completely anxious.

Zhao Feng groaned slightly, and suddenly asked, "Yuan Hao thinks." ”

"If books are printed in large quantities, how big will the market be?"

"What benefits can it bring us?"

Tian Feng pondered for a long time: "Books have just appeared, and they are rare things. ”

"And with the advantage of books, as long as you have a little money in your hand, you will definitely not miss it."

"Even if the family and the strong may not collect it in the short term, but the dignitaries will inevitably collect it."

Zhao Feng knew in his heart that books would inevitably become mainstream, this was the trend.

But books are still new for now.

Zhao Feng also couldn't grasp the thoughts of contemporary people.

That's why I asked Tian Feng.

With Tian Feng's opinion, Zhao Feng groaned: "Yuan Hao thinks. ”

"Should we sell the books?"

"Or do we keep the books and sell them only to the people in the land, which is also a kind of welfare for the people in our land?"

Tian Feng didn't think about it: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the 'Guanshan Hai' policy proposed by Guan Zhong of Qi State, that is, the monopoly of salt and iron together. Qin Shang martingale changed the law, controlled the benefits of the mountains and rivers, and also implemented the monopoly of salt and iron. ”

"Although the government prohibits the sale of salt and iron without permission, there are still bold people in the people who will make a profit from it."

"Even if the lord forbids the flow of books, there will still be people who take this risk for the sake of profit."

"It's better to take the initiative to sell it out for profit!"

Zhao Feng pondered: "I understand." ”

"On the one hand, we can, nominally, ban the flow of books out of the territory."

"On the other hand, let the underground intelligence organizations from all over the country come to the state, bring back the books privately, and then sell them locally."

"This will not only allow us and the underground intelligence group to obtain benefits separately, but also allow the underground intelligence organization to use the convenience of books to quickly develop high-level contacts."

"This is also to lay the foundation for us in the future!"

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment: "Feng didn't expect so much. ”

Then he waved at Zhao Feng: "It's still the lord's opinion!" ”

Zhao Feng didn't know if Tian Feng really didn't expect it, or if he was flattering himself.

However, considering the limitations of the times, Zhao Feng didn't expect it to be Tian Feng.

Then he asked: "Yuan Hao thinks that what price should be set for books internally, for underground intelligence personnel, and externally?" ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "For the people in the land, sell it at the price of fifteen stone of grain." ”

"After all, the cost of a book for us also needs five stones of grain."

"The price of selling to the underground intelligence organization is the price of five silver cakes for one book, or one gold cake for two books."

"As for the price at which the underground intelligence organization sells it to the outside world, it is naturally the price of a gold cake and a book."

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment, probably three times the price and twice the profit.

For the personnel of the intelligence organization, it is five times the price, four times the profit.

For foreign smuggling, it is twice the price and nine times the profit.

After all, it is Zhao Feng who is operating it himself, and the profits will not flow out.

Of course, if the source is not strictly controlled, there will still be many people who come to take risks for profit.

After all, those smugglers only need to spend three times the price, buy books piecemeal, and then make more money than the underground intelligence organization.

It's just that Zhao Feng won't control it too strictly.

Because these people may speculate the price higher for the sake of profit.

These people seem to have shared Zhao Feng's interests, but they are sacrificing time.

Naturally, the underground intelligence organization does not need to waste time and slowly hoard books.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "This matter will be done for the time being." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Xiong Da: "Send someone to tell the heads of underground intelligence organizations in various places about this." ”

"Let them prepare in advance."

"After the deed is completed, we don't need to send people to transport their usual funds every year!"

The funding of the underground intelligence organization is a headache for Tian Feng.

It's a lot, and Tian Feng is worried that those people will mess around with the money.

If they want less, Tian Feng is worried that they will not do anything because the funds are too small.

After all, it is too far away, and the news goes back and forth, which is too time-consuming, and it all depends on the consciousness and foresight of the people of the underground intelligence organization.

To put it simply, ordinary people really can't do this thing!

Now, the extra extra money will be used directly as their funds!
