Zhang Liang didn't know how accurate his Flegg was.

After Li Su left, the next day, the sixth day of the third lunar month, it was the day of the grand dynasty meeting again.

At this court meeting, many complicated daily official duties were discussed. But one of them was also mixed, which was the feedback on the edict of "appointing Liu Bei as the magistrate of Guangchang" five days ago.

On March 3rd, the officials already knew that Liu Bei had abandoned his official position, but today he mentioned it at the court meeting. Then, knowing that the scope of this matter was expanded from the relevant departments to the entire court. The slightly rank-level officials of Beijing have been sure to have heard of the name Liu Bei, and many people secretly praised his filial piety as a model.

Some people who are more sensitive to the fraud of filial and honesty in the Han Dynasty think that a new behavior of filial and honesty will definitely emerge in the future.

Maybe from now on, those who are officials from other places, or those who are not valuable small officials, and those who are not from serious and filial and honest will try their best to discover whether they have any elders and relatives in their families live in war-torn areas where riots are rampant. Then they will find an excuse to abandon their official positions and go to the thief occupying areas to organize the township to fight, gaining the reputation of filial piety.

Of course, no matter what, Liu Bei's filial piety behavior has a threshold. Just like Liu Yao and Liu Zhengli's filial piety behavior at the time, there is a threshold.

First of all, you can learn that soldiers can fight and can only imitate this kind of filial piety.

Otherwise, when Zhang Chun, Qu Xing, or the future Gebi Yellow Turban Army, he would not be able to defeat the other party and would be killed by the thief with one knife, and Xiaoyi's play would be in vain.

Moreover, imitators need to wait and see for a while, so-called "no rabbits" and "no eagle to show off without seeing them."

Everyone has to see that Liu Bei has gained greater benefits because of this act of abandoning his official position and filial piety. Only when he put his money in peace will everyone be at ease to follow the trend.

So at least in the first half of this year, no one will follow the trend.

...

The day after the grand dynasty meeting, early in the morning of the seventh day of the March.

As the chief manager of the Zhen family business in Luoyang, Zhang Liang did not have to get up early and go to shops and workshops in person.

So he slept until the end of Mao hour according to his usual schedule, and then got up, then ate breakfast at Chen hour and went out to do things at normal pace.

However, about halfway through the hour, he had just dressed and washed up and was still eating mutton soup cakes at home. A friend of the accounting department rushed to him and informed him of good news.

"Maintain! The paper-selling business in Xicheng is full of customers! Less than an hour after the door opened in the morning, hundreds of volumes of "Xiaoyi Lu" were sold.

The inventory in the store was sold out! In addition, the batch of Zuobo paper made by Mr. Li had not been printed yet, and many scholars bought it, saying that they wanted to copy it themselves! Let's transfer the goods from the warehouse and workshop as soon as possible!"

The Zhen family’s business in Xicheng is the main business selling the four treasures of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and other treasures that are often visited by literati. Now it is also selling books in that store. Because the location of the store in Xicheng is close to the Taixue School, there are tens of thousands of scholars who have been to the Taixue School in Luoyang. Doing this kind of business there is particularly consistent with the market positioning and the business is good.

When Zhang Liang heard the good news, he was so surprised that his bamboo chopsticks fell on the table.

This is impossible! The day before yesterday, I could only sell more than ten volumes of rolls all day. Why did the wind suddenly change sharply in just two days, and hundreds of rolls were sold in the morning?

This increase is too exaggerated.

"How many have we printed in total?" Zhang Liang asked quickly.

"A total of 1,000 volumes were printed. At that time, you still said that you would give Mr. Li a face, print more and sell it slowly. Even if you throw some in your hands, you would just treat it as a favor to Mr. Li, County Li, Liu.

There are also thousands of large-sized Zuobo papers, which are also from this batch. They are made and placed there for hanging. Mr. Li did not take them away, saying that they were sold out and asked us to help print them at any time."

Zhang Liang quickly instructed: "Hurry and hurry! Immediately transfer all the inventory in the workshop to the store next to the Taixue School! The remaining paper and ink are also dispatched, and the craftsman is recalled to print it quickly! I will go to the Xicheng store to check it myself!"

Zhang Liang picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the last two pieces of mutton from the soup cake bowl, and threw the rest to the servants at home, and hurriedly took the guy out with him.

Although the servant did not eat meat, it was very rare to be able to drink the rich mutton soup cakes. After the master left, he immediately picked up the leftover bowl and finished eating it, and even drank all the mutton soup.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Liang rode a donkey to the shop near the Taixue School. It was not that he couldn't get on the car, but as a businessman, he always had to know how to keep a low profile. There were too many wealthy families in the capital, and merchants were too show off in the city and were easily missed.

When he arrived at the door of the store, he saw an amazing scene. At least dozens of students were wandering around. The "Xiaoyi Lu" in the store should have been sold out, and two volumes were bought by two of them in the end, but the other students who had not bought were blocked and refused to let them go. They asked the two to recite in public temporarily so that everyone could hear what the story was about in the book.

The two buyers who snatched the last few books were afraid of causing hatred to offend people, so they refused and refused.

For a moment, the sound of reading shaking his head at the door of the store kept ringing, which made the businessmen in the shop next to him look over and watch.

Zhang Liang has helped the Zhen family manage Luoyang's business for less than two years, and the wealthy businessman in Luoyang hides and hides the dragon and crouches the tiger. The Zhen family may be the top-ranking businessman in Jizhou, but in the capital, it may not be able to surpass its top competitors.

So in the past two years, he had never seen such a grand occasion that was envied by his peers. At this moment, he was of course ashamed and excited:

"Fortunately, I wanted to sell my favor to Mr. Li and promised to let the craftsmen print more... The business is so good, and it has given the Zhen family a good face. When I go back, my mistress will definitely use me more and more."

Thinking in his heart, he saw a friend who came with him, carrying a batch of goods into the store, with about two or three hundred volumes, and finally sent away the dozens of people around the door. After everyone bought the books, they were about to disperse.

Zhang Liang took the opportunity to hold a student who was about to leave and asked, "Brother, why are you so united today to buy this new book? But have you heard of the promotion of some merchants?"

The student looked at the ignorant with his eyes and looked up and down: "Are you a scholar?"

Zhang Liang was embarrassed, of course he was not a scholar.

However, the clothes and etiquettes of scholars in the Han Dynasty and those in the non-scholars were not very different, nor did they use some clothes and etiquette like those in later imperial examination dynasties that only scholars could wear. At this moment, he was wearing a simple and generous dress, and he could do it if he pretended to be a scholar.

So he quickly made an excuse: "I am a foreigner, and I am not sure if I am here for the first time..."

The student was immediately quite proud: "It turned out to be a countryman, no wonder - do you know that when the court was discussing yesterday, all the officials and ministers were talking about the rebellion of Zhang Chun in Youzhou and the decay of Yuyang. Someone mentioned the filial piety and righteousness of a quelling official who was recruited by the court last time.

The man was named Liu Bei. In order to save his uncle from his hometown, he refused to dispatch him from another place and had to go back to his hometown to kill the thieves. All the officials and ministers in the court sighed that our Han Dynasty is in a crisis and troublesome situation, and we are about to promote such loyal and righteous people, putting family and country first!

After the court discussion, Taichangqing personally praised him, saying that he would promote his righteous deeds in the Taixue School, and he might even ask the scholars about his feelings. Confucius said: Living with good people is like entering a room of orchids, and he will not feel the fragrance for a long time. How can our loyal and righteous people not learn these loyal and righteous deeds?"

After saying that, the student took the book he bought and floated away proudly.

Zhang Liang looked confused and shocked for a long time.

My own foolish fantasy made me realize my words!

Then what methods did Li Su have to make Taichangqing personally praise the books and deeds he wrote?

You should know that Taichangqing is equivalent to the Minister of Rites in later generations, and is equivalent to the department of rituals and law and education.

In the words of later generations, Li Su was equivalent to a fledgling cottage who had just written a little superficial article and wanted to publish it and earn some porridge.

But his works were no longer interested in the first few days before they were launched. At least they thought that "it's okay to read the story, just spend money to buy it."

However, just a few days later, the book was directly designated as the "People's Education Edition" by the leaders of the education authorities, and required the education departments across the country to study. It is still like writing a reading review after reading, writing about the spirit of the document you have learned from this advanced deed.

How can this not be sold well?

There are probably tens of thousands of scholars who have attended the Imperial Academy in the capital. No wonder Tai Changqing sold all a thousand volumes on the first morning after he spoke.

A book makes more than 100 yuan of net profit, and a roll of paper makes more than 30 yuan. This day, I'm afraid you can make hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Money is not the key, the key is the favors, energy, and the impact it can cause.

"We must tell the mistress and the young master what happened here. Mr. Li's ability is so terrible. Cooperating with him is definitely the most profitable business in the world." Zhang Liang's heart had already regarded Li Sujing as a god.

A wealthy businessman can quickly put a heavy bet on his own if he writes a book so that the leaders of the education department can stand up for him.
Chapter completed!
