Hearing this, Li Er stood where he was and paused for a moment.
Negotiate conditions?
No one has dared to negotiate terms with him in these years.
"Hahaha, looking at the whole world, as long as I speak, it is an imperial edict. No one has ever dared to negotiate terms with me. Du He, Du He, you are the first, hahaha, interesting!" Li Er was in a good mood, not only did he not
I'm angry, but I find it very interesting.
Du He glanced at Li Er with disdain and whispered: "You are so pitiful!"
Unexpectedly, Li Er heard it, and Li Er laughed and said: "You are still young and don't understand the truth of this. You will understand when you get to a high position one day."
Du He shook his head, "Not interested!"
These are words from his heart.
Li Er said: "Okay, let's talk about this matter. What conditions do you want from me? As long as it's not too much, I can agree to it."
Du He said: "Actually, my father told me about this a few days ago. The Imperial College has more than 50,000 books, and the books that the students urgently need are about 5,000. These 5,000,
I can deliver them all within half a month, and they are all printed versions, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed... However, I have two conditions."
"explain!"
"First, the money must be given in one go. I have found someone to calculate specifically that five thousand books will cost 100,000 yuan. All the money must be given in one go. Once the money is available, Datang Study will immediately increase its production capacity."
"The second and necessary condition is that none of our laws in the Tang Dynasty deal with the protection of intellectual property rights. I hope that your Majesty will issue a law on intellectual property rights to avoid similar incidents in Shuquge."
When Li Er heard this, he was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Du He seriously: "Is this intellectual property really so important?"
Du He said in a positive tone: "Of course it is very important. Does your Majesty know why the technological development of our Central Plains has been slow and lagging since ancient times?"
"Why?"
Du He picked up a thin stone flake and threw it diagonally towards the water. The stone flake bounced on the water surface for more than ten times and finally sank into the water.
Du He then said: "One of the important reasons is the insufficient protection of intellectual property rights. In fact, this intellectual property rights can be simply said to be a kind of mental achievement, which is the same as the result of physical work. Farmers plant crops.
After a year of hard work, the goods have been harvested. In addition to paying taxes, the rest is my own fruit. But when it comes to me, why can the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that I worked so hard to write be copied and sold at will? What if?
Your Majesty doesn't care about this matter, and I will definitely not create any more works in the future, because I just made wedding dresses for others."
"For another example, my furniture factory assembly line was designed by me with all my brains. It took many tests and trials before it finally came into shape. Not to mention the amount of brainpower and money it took.
It cost tens of thousands. If someone plagiarizes it, what would I think? I will definitely never invent something like this again in the future."
Du He carefully analyzed the pros and cons for Li Er.
The more Li Er listened, the more he felt it made sense. Finally, he actually discussed it with Du He.
At the end, Li Eryi waved his hand: "Du He, what you said is reasonable. This intellectual property law should be promulgated. Don't worry, I have approved this condition."
Then he looked at Du He: "It's just that we can discuss the matter of 100,000 yuan. My internal treasury has been exhausted for disaster relief. The initial 5,000 books will cost 100,000 yuan. Then
Wouldn’t it cost more money to buy the more than 40,000 volumes in the future?”
As an emperor, Li Er was already frugal enough, but the war in the northwest was getting tight every year, and now there was a drought. Real money and silver were leaking out, and Li Er immediately felt anxious. Otherwise, he would have planned it in the first place.
A dragon chair would be worth a thousand taels of silver as soon as he sells it.
Seeing that Li Er didn't seem to be lying, Du He suddenly thought of a plan and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that will allow you to quickly have the money to rebuild the Imperial College."
"Oh, tell me quickly." Li Erhou said anxiously.
Du He smiled: "I can tell you how to do it. However, Your Majesty, this matter requires me to participate in the performance. However, I can't do it in vain. I must be given a certain commission. What I want is also
Not much, I just need your Majesty to get one-twentieth of the money."
"One-tenth, haha, you are not greedy, okay, I'm right. Tell me, what is this method?" Li Eryi waved his hand and said magnanimously.
Du He took out a pen and paper and said: "It's empty words, let's use written evidence as proof!"
Li Er: "..."
In the end, Li Er reluctantly accepted it and signed the treaty himself.
Then, Du He came close to Li Er's ear and whispered. The more Li Er listened, the more feasible it became.
So, in the morning of the second day, in addition to the civil and military officials, there was also Du He.
As Du He was the son of Lantian County, it was impossible to go to the morning court unless summoned by the emperor. Even if he went to the morning court, he could only stand behind the crowd.
After the morning meeting, Li Er talked about the reconstruction of the Imperial College.
He also informed the civil and military officials that Du He's Tang Dynasty Study House was willing to undertake the urgent need for 5,000 books for the Imperial College Supervisors.
Li Er paused and said: "However, Datang Study has supported so many craftsmen, and Du He cannot do this in vain. Therefore, after negotiation between me and Du He, 5,000 books were handed over to Datang Study for printing.
, the total price is 100,000 yuan.”
No one had any objection to this.
Although 100,000 yuan is expensive, Duhe is very fast and can deliver the goods in less than half a month. It would be impossible for anyone else to do it.
Li Er continued: "It's just that because of the disaster relief, the internal treasury has been exhausted. For a while, I was also worried about the money. Printing the book is only the first step. The subsequent reconstruction of the Imperial College is the top priority.
Ah, dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"
After everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought.
Money matters have been the most difficult to solve since ancient times.
At this moment, Du He suddenly stood up.
Du He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the reconstruction of the Imperial College will benefit the country and the people. It will benefit the present and the future. It is related to the solid foundation and vigorous development of the Tang Dynasty. We must not be careless. The ancients
Yun, the major affairs of the country are to sacrifice to the people. The people are the foundation of the country and the foundation of the country. To govern the country and stabilize the people, we must not rely on the adults present, but rely on thousands of officials of the Tang Dynasty. These
People do not appear out of thin air, but are cultivated through education. The Imperial College, in particular, is the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty. The talents it cultivates will be the future pillars of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if the Imperial College is not built well, the students will be ruined.
If the students are not interested in learning, it will lead to the inability to select truly outstanding talents in this autumn's scientific examinations, and there will be a talent gap, which will ultimately affect the foundation of Datang!"
Du He talked like a fried bean, making everyone stunned.
The key is, what this kid said is impeccable!
