"There is no need to guess the prince-consort. Today, Li Qianyou came in his personal capacity, representing my family from Longxi, who was born in. He wants to negotiate a deal with the prince-consort." Li Qianyou was very polite and easy-going, and did not look down on the other party because of Du Shaoqing's background.

After letting the other party into the living room of the back hall, both parties took a seat for tea, Du Shaoqing then asked about the other party’s specific purpose.

"I wonder what kind of deal Censor Li wants to discuss with him?"

With a smile, Li Ganyou said, "The prince-consort has built a school in Chang'an with great integrity and selflessness, which makes us admire him.

My family of Longxi, Li, always regarded himself as a family member of poetry and books, but was limited by his own abilities. Although he had the intention for many years, he had not been able to achieve such a great cause as the prince consort in teaching the world.

Now I am willing to follow the example of my son-in-law and send my family's literate children to be teachers, giving free lectures to the next generation who are eager to study.

But knowing is easy and hard to do. We have teachers but not enough teaching materials. Children do not have books in their hands, so they cannot read this book, so they came to the prince-consort to discuss the writing business just to solve this problem."

Wow...

Du Shaoqing said in his heart that if I hadn't known your inner thoughts, I would have almost believed that you were coming to your house with kindness.

He looked at the other party in surprise, and Du Shaoqing said, "So, did Jingshi Li come from the papermaking method and printing method?"

Li Ganyou didn't hide it and asked back, "If I say yes, the prince-consort might give up his love?"

After all, he is a person who has been in the court for many years. This sentence is a temptation and a tactful recognition.

Du Shaoqing laughed: "As we all know, Du Shaoqing, loves money as much as his life, everyone says that I am a businessman but more a doctor than an official.

I invented the new papermaking technology, and it is not a shame to say that this is a money tree. It is foreseeable that with this, how much wealth can it bring?

As for printing?

Haha, I can't reveal too much.

Let’s do this. Since you said it was to educate the great cause of the world, I would like to ask: as long as the Li family in Longxi can pay enough price, I can share these two wealth."

Hearing this, Li Ganyou felt aroused and asked what the conditions were, but the words stopped. He was not the leader of the Li clan of Longxi, and if the price was too high, he could not make the decision.

At this time, Du Shaoqing laughed: "Forget it, it's okay not to mention this condition, it's a bit difficult to say it out.

It’s better to do this. For the time being, the reconstruction of Chang'an on my side still takes time, so there is still a rest of the teaching books I have prepared. You can consider even out part of it for the Li family in Longxi. What do you think about this cooperation?

Of course, even if I improved the papermaking and printing technology, it still costs a lot, so you need to spend some money to buy this part of the textbooks."

oh?

This method made Li Ganyou's eyes lit up. When he came, he wanted to try Du Shaoqing's attitude and try his luck. To see if Cui Hao said it correctly, he never thought that there would be such a compromise plan.

After thinking for a while, Li Ganyou became scheming and asked, "I wonder how much the price of this book is? If it were the price on the market, it would probably not work."

Du Shaoqing waved his hand and smiled: "Of course not, why would I spend a lot of money to improve the technology?

Knowing that the Li family in Longxi is also very popular, I will charge you a cost price, which is 10% of the market price."

What??

Li Ganyou's beard shook, 10%? God, is this new book so cheap? I thought that if it could be priced at 70% or more, it would be 10%?

"Then why is the new paper price of the prince consort..."

"That's different. Teaching books are something we have great use and are business.

The paper bought by privately is something that is not used by individuals, but is a private matter.

In terms of business, I, Du Shaoqing, can pay no money, but for personal purposes, I have to make a little profit. Otherwise, if I don’t make any money, how can my workers live?”

Du Shaoqing explained seriously and blushed without feeling at all.

Li Ganyou was stunned and couldn't help but secretly applaud the public and private division of this Prince Du. It seems that even if this strange man is a businessman, he is still a unique businessman.

If Li Ganyou knew that Du Shaoqing's cost was one percent less than that of previous book productions, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. If he sold it to the Li family in Longxi, Du Shaoqing would make more than ten times more money.

So before I knew it, the representative of the Longxi Li family whom I took the initiative to find was caught.

Facing Du Shaoqing's broad mind, Li Ganyou stood up and saluted Du Shaoqing with respect: "Thank you for the righteousness of the prince-consort. Since that's the case, then trade according to what the prince-consort said. At a price of 10%, the people in the world will praise the prince-consort because they have books."

"There is nowhere, compared to the fact that the Li family in Longxi has paid money to help the people to enlighten their wisdom, this is insignificant."

Speaking of this, Li Ganyou remembered something and asked in confusion: "I'm not afraid of the prince-consort's joke when he said it. I believe you have also seen the current situation. Are you not afraid of making Your Majesty unhappy when doing this? Say that our Longxi Li family's plan is inappropriate?"

Faced with this person's question, Du Shaoqing also did not answer positively and asked back: "Will you plot against ill?"

Li Ganyou decisively denied: "Of course not. If you don't care, you can't take action in a peaceful and prosperous era. The best time is to rise up in troubled times. My ancestral teachings of the Li family in Longxi are not allowed to participate in the replacement of royal power."

Du Shaoqing smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, what are you afraid of?

I'm afraid your Majesty will not be too late to thank you!

Come on, let’s not talk about others. Du thanks you on behalf of the people. You can make an indelible contribution to everyone who can read books in the world as soon as possible.

I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast you a cup.”

Du Shaoqing picked up the teacup, but Li Ganyou became more and more confused. Instead of reaching out to get his cup, he stared at Du Shaoqing and asked: "Mr.com, can you give me advice? What are you trying to do?"

With a hearty smile, Du Shaoqing drank the tea in the cup and straightened his body and said loudly: "I don't want anything. I am just trying to add countless literacy people to the Tang Dynasty.

Because the prosperity is approaching, the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, but there are not enough literate people to govern and help the people, which is really a problem.

If we lack talents, we will cultivate talents. If we don’t have schools, we will run schools. If we don’t have teachers, we will hire teachers. If we don’t have books, we will print books. Everything is to make the Tang Dynasty no longer lack available literate people. It’s that simple.

Later, when I saw your actions, not only the Li family in Longxi, but also the entire Five surnames and Qiwang participated.

I saw the dawn that could realize the ambition of saints to educate the world.

Let everyone in the world have books to read, maybe this is what you are looking for now.”

Listening to the other party's explanation, Li Ganyou re-recognized the other party's mind, and was no longer confused. He turned around and picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one go.

Then he bowed to Du Shaoqing again, and turned around and said goodbye.

When he was about to walk out of the living room, Li Ganyou couldn't help asking the previous condition: "Dare you ask what the price of letting the prince consort share papermaking and printing?"

Du Shaoqing said lightly, "The entire Li clan of Longxi is used by the court."

Li Ganyou bowed his hand and turned around and strode away.
