"Puff!"
"What did you say? Zhangsun Wuji wants to cooperate with Shen Wansan to sell books and papers?”
Li Kuan, who was drinking water, was shocked by the news brought by Liu Bowen.
F * ck, he gave his father the art of paper making and movable type printing because he wanted the imperial court to do this.
He didn't expect that it would return to his hands after going around in circles.
If he had known earlier, he would have done it himself. He wouldn't have had to split so much profit.
"Yes, Your Highness. That's what Shen Wansan said.”
Liu Bowen, who received the news, was also quite helpless.
He also knew about the art of making paper.
He had not expected the Imperial Court to suddenly pull such a move.
"Let Shen Wansan agree. As for the specific conditions, let him make his own decision. It would be best if he could get some help from the Imperial Court in other industries.”
After thinking for a moment, Li Kuan decided to agree.
Working with the Imperial Court meant that they would more or less receive help from the Imperial Court.
The imperial court couldn't possibly turn a blind eye to their partners 'difficulties, right?
Earning money was one thing, but getting the help of the Imperial Court was more important.
This would also be very helpful to Li Kuan's other businesses.
In the past, he had only used the names of Li Kuan and a few High Dukes to do business.
Now, with the help of the imperial court, it would be a great help to Li Kuan's business development.
After receiving Li Kuan's order, Shen Wansan started to argue with Zhangsun Wuji, the Duke of Zhao.
In the end, both sides reached an agreement.
The imperial court provided the methods and craftsmen of paper making and movable type printing, and gave Shen Wansan a certain amount of help in various industries, including restaurants, grain stores, and glass.
They sent out soldiers to protect some important places in Fuyuan, such as the winery, the future paper-making workshop, and the book-printing workshop.
The final 20 - 80 split.
Shen Wan, three or two, the court, eight.
Although the 20:80 split seemed like a lot, with the help of the Imperial Court, the two of them were able to obtain a huge profit.
Li Kuan would only earn more money in other industries.
Moreover, Li Kuan also had a 10% share of the profits.
Just like that, after a P.Y. transaction, Tang Fuyuan Bookstore opened for business.
.......
In front of the Chang 'an branch of Tang Fuyuan Bookstore.
"Dang dang!"
" Let's take a look. Tang Fuyuan Bookstore has a grand opening today. All kinds of books are on sale at a low price."
"There's also cheap and good white paper. Don't miss it.”
In front of Fuyuan Bookstore, a shop assistant was knocking on a broken gong and shouting.
Soon, a large group of people gathered in front of the bookstore.
"What books do you have here?"
A scholarly-looking man in the crowd asked the shop assistant.
The shop assistant glanced at the person who spoke, and a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.
"We basically have everything here. The Four Books and Five Classics, literary classics, everything.”
The waiter said loudly.
The people present were a little restless.
Especially those who wanted to study but could not find a book to read.
They all wanted to see if there were any books they needed.
"Then how much are the books washi here?”
The despondent scholar who spoke just now asked again.
The disheveled scholar's words made the restless crowd quiet down.
They all wanted to know the price. They couldn't afford it even if it was expensive.
" Everyone, don't worry. The quality of the paper in our bookstore is better than any other paper on the market, but it's much cheaper than any other paper."
"One coin can buy ten pieces of paper."
"The price of the book is also very cheap."
"All of them cost 50 to 100 copper coins each.”
Hearing the scholar's question, the shop assistant said in a clear voice.
"Really? How can it be so cheap?”
"I also think that it's impossible. Just copying a book takes a lot of time. It can't be so cheap.”
"You can't even buy two pieces of high-quality paper on the market for ten copper coins.”
" Identification complete. It's a liar."
"It can't be a scammer, right? Fuyuan Bookstore, Fuyuan Restaurant, Fuyuan Winery, and Fuyuan Grain Store are all from the same company.”
"That's hard to say."
“.......”
The waiter's words made the surrounding crowd not believe him.
Such a price was simply too cheap. It was simply a fantasy.
"Dang dang dang!"
"Seeing is believing. Since everyone doesn't believe it, why don't we go in and take a look?”
The waiter knocked on the broken gong a few times and interrupted everyone's discussion.
"You're right. We'll know once we go in and take a look.”
"Let's go, let's go, let's go together."
.......
The onlookers swarmed into the bookstore.
The bookstore was very big. Even if dozens or hundreds of people entered at the same time, it did not seem crowded.
Everyone entered the bookstore and looked around.
On one side of the bookstore was the area where the four treasures of the study, paper, ink, brush, and inkstone, were sold.
On the other side was the book sales area.
"There are so many books here, and the variety is very complete.”
"There are all the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as all kinds of books that the aristocratic families don't spread. There are even the handwritten notes of many great scholars.”
"Not only that, but mathematics, craftsmen, and irrigation are all available.”
"And the price is all on it. They're all so cheap.”
"My book is so flipped that I can't see the handwriting clearly. I just happened to buy one back.”
"Look, these books are all made of good paper. The handwriting is clear and distinct.”
"Boss, I'll buy these books and a hundred sheets of paper.”
“.........”
The people who rushed into the bookstore were shocked by the quality and price of the books.
It turned out that the shop assistant really wasn't lying.
This made the people who wanted to buy books and paper very happy.
After buying enough of their own, they told their friends and companions the news.
........
Lantian County, Liu Family Village.
Liu Wenxuan struggled to carry a large bundle of firewood towards his home.
His sweaty face revealed an unconcealable joy.
After selling this bundle of firewood, he would be able to gather enough money to buy paper.
Liu Wenxuan thought to himself.
He knew he couldn't afford a book.
Therefore, he planned to buy some better paper and borrow the books from the neighboring village squire Zhang.
Minister Zhang had also agreed.
Thinking of this, Liu Wenxuan smiled happily again.
"Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan, come with me. The new bookstore in Chang 'an City has a lot of books for sale.”
Liu Wenxuan had just reached the door of his house when his childhood friend from the same village ran over and pulled him away without any explanation.
"There are books that sell, but I can't afford them.”
Liu Wenxuan struggled to break free from his childhood friend's hand and said sadly.
"Aiya, that bookstore is very cheap. You can buy a few books with the money you saved.”
"And the paper in that bookstore is very cheap.”
"I came back to get money because I didn't bring any money with me.”
His childhood friend looked at Liu Wenxuan and quickly explained.
"Really?"
Liu Wenxuan's eyes widened.
"It's true. Why would I lie to you? Hurry up and leave. Don't sell it all out.”
"I'll bring the money later."
Liu Wenxuan quickly put the firewood on the ground, took the money, and ran out.
