Husband, You Are My Sun!
The cost of making paper could be reduced to 10%!
The cost of printing could be reduced to 10%!
The combination of the two could reduce the cost by a hundred times!
The book that was so expensive that it would make one despair was now only ten copper coins!
This…
Fang Xuanling stared at Zhou Ru with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.
He had been an official for decades and had long developed a deep shrewdness.
He was no longer happy or angry.
However, at this moment, in front of Zhou Ru, he found it difficult to suppress the eruption of his emotions.
Excitement, his entire body was trembling with excitement.
He suddenly burst into tears as he grabbed Zhou Ru's arm and shook it excitedly.
"I can afford it! I can afford it!"
"Ten coins, I can definitely afford it!"
"Let alone ten copper coins, even if it's a few dozen copper coins, a Humble Class disciple can afford it even if they grit their teeth!”
"This time, they won't have to suffer from being looked down upon anymore. This time, they won't have to borrow books and copy them in humiliation anymore!”
"They can have more time to study!”
"There are countless intelligent Humble Class disciples. As long as we solve the problem of books, I believe…I believe that it won't be long before a Humble Class disciple wins the imperial examinations!”
"When that time comes, it will be the time for the Humble Class disciples to leap over the Dragon Gate!”
" And they will never forget it. All the Humble Class disciples in the world will never forget it…"
Fang Xuanling looked at Zhou Ru and said excitedly,""I definitely won't forget…that the one who opened the Heaven's Gate for them, the one who allowed them to leap over the Dragon Gate, was you, the son-in-law of the Great Tang!”
"Fuma, you will become the benefactor of all Humble Class scholars!”
"You will change the entire world of scholars!”
"Your name will definitely be remembered in history and be respected by tens of thousands of people!”
Fang Xuanling was too excited!
He had only wanted to give it a try, but he didn't have much confidence.
After all, they had gathered the power of the entire imperial court, but they had not been able to come up with a solution in a few years. The Fuma was only twenty years old, and he was so young. What were the chances of solving it?
However, he didn't expect that the Fuma would really have a way!
This was truly the fortune of the Great Tang and the Humble Class!
Looking at Fang Xuanling's agitated expression, Zhou Ru chuckled lightly. He was still as calm as ever."I've gone through those hardships, and I know how difficult it is for them.”
"Therefore, if we can help them reduce some of their burdens and increase their chances of success in the future, it will be enough.”
Zhou Ru was still as humble as ever.
Don't take credit, don't be arrogant.
His past was clearly so heartbreaking and heartbreaking, but he could still calmly look back at the past and was willing to let others no longer have the difficulties he once had.
Although he was shrouded in darkness, he was willing to shine for others.
Fang Xuanling and Li Jing both admired his spirit and bearing.
As for his little wife, she was completely infatuated.
Her eyes were full of stars as she looked at her husband. She felt that her husband seemed to be glowing.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of something.
"I was curled up in the darkness alone. There was no light around me. Suddenly, he found me in the darkness.”
"He held my hand and told me that there was light ahead.”
"But I don't care if there is light in front of me, because the light is right beside me.”
"He is my light."
At this moment, her husband was her light.
My husband always says that I'm his little sun.
But how would husband know that he is my true sun?
And now, my sun is getting brighter and brighter. Not only does it light up me, but it also lights up all the Humble Class disciples in this cold and desolate place.
Husband, you are the light that I will always chase after. You are my eternal pride.
The little wife looked at her husband, her eyes bright and sparkling.
Zhou Ru listened to his wife's inner thoughts and gently held her hand.
Even though they didn't say anything, the couple seemed to have a telepathic connection as they held each other's hands tightly, not leaving a single gap.
Zhou Ru smiled warmly, giving off the warmth of a young master bathing in the spring breeze.
He said," I've given the method to Lord Fang, but this matter is not so easy to do. The aristocratic families have controlled the power of scholars for a long time. Almost all the booksellers are controlled by the aristocratic families behind the scenes. Therefore, if Lord Fang wants to change the situation, you have to start from the market.”
Fang Xuanling's heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked at Zhou Ru and said,""Fuma, please enlighten me."
This was Zhou Ru's forte.
In fact, no matter how high the cost of ancient books was, it would never be so high that dozens of books would cost a house.
The reason why the price of books was so high was because of a monopoly!
The aristocratic families monopolized this industry!
Therefore, the aristocratic families had the right to set prices and could set prices at will.
Therefore, there was only one way to break the monopoly.
" With the imperial court as the background, support some new booksellers and let them produce books with brand new paper-making methods and printing techniques. Then, fight a price war with the old booksellers!"”
"Our prices are low enough. In the end, we will definitely beat those booksellers into submission. They will not be able to reduce their costs. Sooner or later, the market will be completely swallowed by us!”
"Of course, this is the most ideal situation. However, the aristocratic families will not watch as their monopolized industry is taken away by us. They will definitely think of ways to stop us.”
"And this requires the support of the Imperial Court. With the backing and support of the Imperial Court, it is enough to deal with the attacks of the aristocratic families. Otherwise, no one can withstand the torrential attacks of the aristocratic families.”
To deal with a large faction, one could only use a larger faction.
This was an unchanging principle.
Fang Xuanling thought about it seriously and nodded."Fuma's words are reasonable. When I return, I will immediately report to His Majesty. At that time, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue will join forces.”
"At the same time…"
He looked at Zhou Ru and said," We will definitely not forget the Fuma's contribution. After the bookseller with the imperial court as its background is established, a portion of the profits from the sale will belong to the Fuma.”
Fang Xuanling was afraid that Zhou Ru would refuse, so he quickly said,"All of these changes are due to the Fuma's credit. Moreover, once the Imperial Court does this, there will be absolute benefits. Thus, it is only right and proper to give the Fuma a share of the profits.”
Zhou Ru thought about it and nodded.
On the one hand, he really needed to open up new sources of income and obtain some continuous benefits from various aspects to offset some of the risks that might occur in the future.
On the other hand, he provided the technology, and the imperial court contributed. They benefited from each other and were mutually beneficial. This was also very common in his previous life and was also a method he often used to make profits. Moreover, he wanted to raise his little wife well. She had to be more exquisite than the other princesses, and he also needed a lot of money.
Therefore, he did not decline.
Moreover, this would deepen his relationship with the Imperial Court.
Even if he didn't become an official in the imperial court, this kind of deeper binding of interests was enough for the imperial court to firmly stand by him when he encountered some problems.
Seeing Zhou Ru nod in agreement, Fang Xuanling finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's great, that's really great!" he said with a smile.”
"If yesterday was three blessings, then today is two!”
"Fuma, you truly are the Great Tang's great fortune, a great contributor!”
Zhou Ru didn't mind Fang Xuanling's praise.
He thought for a moment and then said,"Yesterday, there were three happy occasions. Today can't be any less."”
"How about this…"
He gently scratched his wife's palm, causing her to shoot him a coquettish look.
Bad hubby ~
He laughed and felt a sudden sense of relief.
A scholarly air lingered in his heart.
He waved his sleeve and said,"Men, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"”
He looked at Fang Xuanling and laughed."Send Buddha to the west, and I will send Lord Fang and all the scholars in the world a big gift!”
