When Cui Zhiji left the Duke Lu's mansion, his expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Cheng Chuliang's words - or rather His Highness Prince Liang's words - could not help but make Cui Zhiji feel chills all over his body.
This is a formidable opponent.
If His Highness Prince Liang really wants to take action against the Aristocratic Family, can the Aristocratic Family really be able to withstand it?
How credible are the words of His Highness Prince Liang?
However, if you look at it logically, what he said is quite reasonable.
While thinking about his thoughts, Cui Zhiji walked towards Wang's house.
He wanted to tell the Wang family the news, and then everyone would sit together to discuss countermeasures.
However, when he was halfway along the road, Cui Zhiji suddenly stopped. After a long time, he turned around and headed back home.
As soon as I returned to Fuzhong, I got a reward. It was said that Tianyi Bookstore had only produced more than 2,000 books today, and that it might stop production for a few days in the near future. The date for resuming production is yet to be determined.
After hearing the report, Cui Zhiji showed a thoughtful look on his face.
I'm afraid that enough of these books have been produced, so they will temporarily stop selling them. This will also prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Cui Zhiji immediately ordered people to pass the news to other major families.
After receiving the news, people from other aristocratic families were all overjoyed, thinking that they had achieved a major victory in their struggle with the emperor.
And this victory will definitely make the emperor re-evaluate the family's heritage and become fearful.
Only Cui Zhiji knew the inside story. After thinking for a long time, he wrote a letter and sent it back to Cui's old house in Qinghe.
At the same time, Cui Zhiji ordered people to quietly load the more than 50,000 books he had recently purchased into a truck overnight and send them away.
After getting the news from Cheng Chuliang, Cui Zhiji was sure that the 300,000 books purchased by these aristocratic families could only fall into their hands.
Even if Changsun Wuji never prints another book, it would be difficult to sell all of these books.
And based on Cui Zhiji's feeling, I am afraid that in a few days, the price of this batch of books in Changsun's bookstore will return to the price of fifty yuan a book.
When the time comes, will they continue to buy?
The problem is, even if someone only sells a copy for fifty cents, they still make some money.
A total of more than 50,000 books!
You definitely can’t just throw it all into your hands and sell it at a low price.
It is for this reason that Cui Zhiji originally wanted to tell the Wang family the news.
But in the end, he returned halfway.
Because once this news leaks out, these more than 50,000 books will really be lost.
What Cui Zhiji has to do now is to sell these books as quickly as possible before other companies react.
I believe that if the price of each copy is 500, even if not all of the 50,000 copies can be sold, at least more than half can be sold!
In this way, they can minimize this loss.
It is true that the five surnames and the seven sects share the same spirit, but when it comes to his own interests, Cui Zhiji doesn't mind stabbing them in the back.
…
Printing has been temporarily stopped because enough has been printed for now.
As for Tianyi Bookstore, it is enough to leave about a thousand books.
Of course, in addition to these books, they can actually engrave other books.
It can still be sold for five hundred copies a piece.
Although the sales volume will definitely not be that exaggerated, there will definitely be some profit.
At least until those aristocratic families truly master the new papermaking and printing technologies, they will not be able to form a combat effectiveness.
At this time, the escort troops who went to Shangguanyi's hometown to pick up his family successfully picked up Shangguanyi's family.
Now, Shangguan Yi's status in Li Min's mind has risen to the point where it is almost indispensable.
I have to say that these scholars are really full of bad ideas - well, it seems that it sounds better to say that they have the pearls of wisdom in their hands.
If it weren't for Shangguan Yi, this book printing incident would never have been handled so perfectly.
Therefore, Li Min attached great importance to Shangguan Yi.
This time, Shangguan Yi's family members were taken to Chang'an City. Li Min and Shangguan Yi personally welcomed them outside Chang'an City. It can be said that they gave Shangguan Yi enough face.
Shangguan Yi's wife and son were so frightened that they almost lost their composure when they heard that King Liang was actually welcoming him out of the city in person.
Shangguan Yi's gratitude to Li Min was even greater.
After Shangguan Yi introduced both parties, Shangguan's wife shyly came forward to pay homage to Li Min, and Li Min helped her.
After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Shangguan stepped aside.
Next, Shangguan Yi led a young boy with delicate features and said to Li Min: "Your Highness, this is the dog Tingzhi."
Then he bowed his head and said to Shangguan Tingzhi: "Tingzhi, why don't you pay your respects to the prince?"
Shangguan Tingzhi quickly saluted and said: "The common people pay homage to the prince!"
Um?
Shangguan Tingzhi?
Isn't this Shangguan Wan'er's father?
I just don’t know that after I came to the Tang Dynasty, history has quietly deviated from its original track. Will Shangguan Waner be born again by then?
Li Min picked up Shangguan Tingzhi and said happily: "Okay, at first glance, you can tell that he is smart, well-educated, and will definitely be a pillar of the country when he grows up! Come, this jade pendant is a meeting gift given to you by the king."
After saying that, Li Min took out a jade pendant and stuffed it into Shangguan Tingzhi's hand.
Shangguan Tingzhi couldn't help but look at his father secretly. Seeing his father nodding, he accepted the jade pendant and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After hearing what Shangguan Tingzhi said, Li Min couldn't help but said to him: "Tingzhi, I and your father are lifelong friends. From now on, you can call me uncle!"
Shangguan Yi said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
Li Min said with a straight face: "You look down on me?"
Shangguan Yi quickly explained: "How can I look down upon His Highness's courtesy?"
Li Min laughed and said: "That's it, it's settled!"
Shangguan Tingzhi is also a smart man, and he quickly shouted: "Tingzhi pays homage to uncle! Uncle, my nephew can even recite His Highness's poems!"
oh?
In just a few months, have my poems spread so far?
Li Min couldn't help but asked happily: "Then can you recite it to me?"
Shangguan Tingzhi recited calmly: "The charcoal seller was cutting down firewood to burn charcoal in the southern mountains, and his face was covered with dust and smoke...; the plum blossoms and snow refused to fall in spring, and the poet spent money on commentaries..."
The little guy actually recited "The Charcoal Seller" and "Mei Xue" very skillfully, which made Li Min marvel and praise him repeatedly.
After returning to Prince Liang's Mansion, Li Min gave Shangguan Tingzhi a three-day holiday.
Well, actually at this time in Prince Liang's Mansion, Shangguan Yi itself didn't have much to do.
After returning to his residence, Li Min couldn't help but smile and shook his head silently, secretly thinking that Shangguan Yi was really an old fox.
