After gaining the money value, Li Min purchased two sets of molds at once and was able to print 9,000 books in one day.
When the manpower Cui Zhiji sent out brought back nine thousand books at once, Cui Zhiji felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
According to their calculations, the cost of this book is at least 1,500 yuan.
And their selling price is only 500 fen, so they will lose 1,000 fen per book, which is a lot of money.
And they knew very well that although the Tang Dynasty was becoming increasingly powerful, Li Shimin, as the emperor, actually did not have much money.
Although Changsun Wuji is rich, would they be stupid enough to gamble all of their own wealth to do this, knowing that their family is taking action?
Apart from ruining the family, what benefits would this bring to his grandson Wuji?
Well, speaking of prodigal, Cui Zhiji, for some reason, suddenly thought of Prince Liang, who was known as the most prodigal son of the Tang Dynasty.
Could it be that there is something fishy going on here that they don't know about?
With this question in mind, Cui Zhiji came to the Wang family again.
Wang Gui, the head of the royal family, also attached great importance to this news and summoned people from other families to sit together again.
However, no matter how hard they think about it, they would never realize that the cost of printing these books is only twenty cents each.
It was almost a hundred times lower than what they had guessed.
Because the most important point was ignored by them, people from all their major families gathered together and failed to get the point.
In the end, several companies decided to continue buying.
The major families will buy as much as they print.
Anyway, the amount of money each family spends is not a huge expense to the major aristocratic families, but it is not a rift at all.
They wanted to see and fight to the end to see who couldn't hold on anymore.
And these aristocratic families don’t think they will lose money.
After all, in their opinion, these books are in their hands. For five hundred dollars a book, no matter what, it is a business that is sure to make a profit.
…
The morning court the next day is a big court, and all civil and military officials of high level to participate must be present.
Li Shimin and various ministers were discussing recent major events in the DPRK.
Cheng Yaojin and other old guys were quietly hiding next to the pillar, leaning against it and yawning.
Normally, Cheng Yaojin would lean against a pillar and take a nap, even for a short nap.
But for some reason today, this guy was very energetic and didn't feel sleepy at all.
He couldn't understand what was being discussed in the court, and it was very boring.
Out of boredom, this guy actually thought of the song "Soldiers Should Be Strong" and couldn't help humming it quietly.
Humming and humming, this guy's body began to sway unconsciously.
Well, when Yu Chigong next to him saw Cheng Yaojin's dancing, his body began to itch, and he started to sway along with him without realizing it.
I have to say that this song has a brainwashing and contagious effect.
Beside them, Qin Qiong, Li Daozong and others quickly started to sway together.
Cheng Zhijie, on the other hand, got more and more excited as he sang. He even forgot about the morning court and pushed Wei Zheng beside him more than ten feet away.
Wei Zheng was so angry that he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Duke Lu, Duke E, Duke Yi and others for being dissolute and lawless in the court hall, disrupting the imperial court, and please punish them severely!"
As soon as Wei Zheng began, the censors swarmed in and stood up one by one to impeach Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and the others.
Facing the censor's impeachment, Li Shimin was very annoyed.
Wei Zheng, a farmer in the fields, I will kill him sooner or later! There are also those censors, all of whom do nothing important and only catch people's hair.
It's true that you guys like Big Fool and those old guys are just like you. You said you usually take a nap against a pillar or something, so I just turned a blind eye and passed by.
Today we are actually dancing in this hall. Do you think we are all blind?
They have indeed gone too far today. With so many officials impeaching them, if they are not punished, it will be difficult to silence everyone!
Just when Li Shimin was about to speak, Li Jing stood up and said, "To your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Jing in confusion and said, "Duke Wei, I wonder if you have anything to report? Just tell me."
Li Jing couldn't help but said: "To report to the emperor, the matter that I want to report is related to the dance performed by Lu Guogong and others."
oh?
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Jing meaningfully.
Li Jing was clearly trying to help these old guys get out of trouble, but Li Shimin wanted to see what reason he used to help them get out of trouble.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask with great interest: "Gong Wei, tell me, what kind of dance do they dance?"
Li Jing couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what Lu Guogong and the others dance is exactly the song and dance of "Soldiers Should Be Strong" created by His Highness Prince Liang. The old minister believes that this song should be promoted among the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, and it can
Determined to be my military song of the Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he couldn't help but ask: "It seems that Duke Wei Guo attaches great importance to this piece of music. I wonder what is so magical about this piece of music?"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, before he could speak, he heard Cheng Yaojin singing at the top of his lungs: "Facing the waves with pride, blood as red as the sun, courage as fine steel and a body made of iron..."
As a result, as soon as Chen Yaojin's broken voice came out, everyone in the civil and military dynasties quickly covered their ears. This guy is a terrible singer.
Li Shimin slammed the table and said angrily: "Someone, please shut his mouth!"
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong rushed to cover Chen Yaojin's mouth, and the hall became quiet.
At this time, Li Jing cleared his throat and began to sing: "Arrogance faces thousands of waves, and blood is like the red sun... Let the sea and the sky gather energy for me, to expand the territory for me, to explore the Tang Dynasty, and watch the blue waves
I am tall and strong and look at the vastness of the blue sky and my majesty. I am a soldier and I must strengthen myself. I stand tall and hold my chest high and we can all be pillars."
This song is so heroic, it will make people's blood boil immediately after listening to a few words.
As soon as Li Jing sang a few words, Cheng Yaojin and other old guys started to squirm.
Moreover, even the people in the main hall, such as Hou Junji, the Minister of War, started to squirm.
Later, even Li Shimin couldn't hold it back and got up and started dancing to the singing.
Without paying attention, all the civil and military officials in the court, except for a few mature and prudent officials, were dancing to the singing.
After singing it once, Li Jing found that no one seemed to be enjoying themselves, so they just sang it a second time.
After two times, when Li Jing stopped, everyone still felt that they still had something to say.
At this time, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
After listening to the song, Li Shimin discovered that Li Jing's recommendation to promote the song throughout the army actually made sense.
