Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 365 Still Being Targeted

Many scholars who bought books from Moxiangju regretted it.

When Song Si's scalpers were about to attack Moxiangju, they stood up to protect Ah Quan's dozen or so scholars, but each of them was presented with a complete set of twelve scriptures by Ah Quan.That's a whole lot of money.

There are many people who are jealous, but even more people who regret it.If he had been able to stand up in the first place, then the situation would be different from now.

There was once an opportunity to take advantage, but I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it until I lost it.If God gives me another chance to stand up, I will definitely say to those rangers: Who else?
But it's not the same, just think about it, I'm afraid there will never be a second time for such a thing in Moxiangju.

But at the same time, the news came that shocked Shilin even more.It doesn't count that Mo Xiangju reopened the door this day, and it actually managed to sell the business in front of Guozixue.

Guozixue book sale was Luo Yan's invitation from Yao Silian and Kong Yingda, so with Luo Yan there, everything would be easy.Scholars have coveted Mo Xiangju's book for a long time, and now they are able to provide such an opportunity for people like themselves, how can they bear it.

Luo Yan miscalculated.

Three hundred sets are really nothing to Guozixue, which has 600 people.The students who are studying are supported by the court every month, and they can also save some money in private.There are even some students who already have a lot of money at home, and a set of books only costs a little, but it is just for a few meals.

Three hundred sets were sold out in just two hours.

Luo Yan was dumbfounded.

Yao Silian and Kong Yingda were also dumbfounded.

The two of them had no idea that the book was so popular, and before noon, all the books were gone.And Yao Silian is the most troublesome.Because at this time, many masters came to him again. As for the matter, it was not for the book.

During the previous sale, these masters did not follow up to join in the fun out of face.Just now I looked through the books that the students bought, and I was surprised to find that this book is so good, it is exactly the same as the rumored one.

However, the book is already sold out.As for going to Dongshi to buy, I don't know when I will have to wait.

It's hard to talk to Luo Yan, after all, the friendship has not reached that point yet.So these masters found Yao Silian here.Anyway, if you can get it once, it's natural to do it twice.

When Yao Silian said these master's requests with a wry smile, Luo Yan laughed a little: "This time, I didn't think carefully and set the number a bit less. How about this, I'll send another [-] sets tomorrow. However, let’s borrow the space in front of the gate this time so that other scholars can also buy books.”

Guozixue is the signature of government schools, and being able to sell books here for free for a few days is also good for future industries.

Seeing Luo Yan agreeing, Yao Silian was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll let someone tell those masters. You don't know, people tell me about this everywhere I go, it really annoys me, an old man."

Although Yao Silian complained on the lips, he was beautiful in his heart.He is very satisfied that the students of Guozixue can benefit, and the majority of scholars in the future can benefit.

The next day, when the stall in front of Guozixue opened again, it immediately attracted many scholars around.

It was time to eat, and the students of Guozixue didn't run to the dining hall, and they crowded in front of the door one by one, just a burst of looting.The guys in charge of buying books kept yelling: "Everyone, don't grab it, don't worry, I brought five hundred sets of books here today. It can not only satisfy the students of Guozixue, but also sell it to other scholars. "

Now the onlookers were excited.

Originally, I just planned to take a look, but I didn't expect that I could sell it to people like myself.For a while, many people began to squeeze in, five hundred sets, I hope I can buy the books I like.

Just like the bustling Moxiangju, the court hall is also bustling right now.

After searching for many days, I couldn't find any information about the source of Moxiangju's books.Therefore, the owners of the book printing workshop headed by Li Daoyan had to fight Luo Yan head-on.

In the resplendent court hall, a minister of the royal family of Taiyuan was talking eloquently: "During the reign of Wude, it was stipulated that all officials of the court shall not compete with the people for profit. There are various indications that Moxiangju belongs to Duke Cheng. Industry. Even though he pretended to be a servant in his mansion, Duke Cheng still couldn't get rid of his suspicions."

After this person finished speaking, someone from Jiangnan Deng's family stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this Moxiangju has been opened for less than half a month. As far as I know, tens of thousands of money have been traded. What kind of huge profits are there. If we don't control , I’m afraid there will be some bad comments among the people.”

Li Shimin knew everything about movable type printing.Although I don't know how much it costs to print a book, but I spent a total of 4000 million yuan in the early stage, and the current book price is at least [-]% lower than other books.According to Li Shimin's speculation, Luo Yan probably didn't make much profit.

"Hmm." Li Shimin mused.

But at this time, Li Daoyan led some people to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, such a thing must be punished severely. Moreover, if he found a way to reduce the printing cost, why didn't he make it public? Or it can be handed over to the royal family. Such a greedy self-interest can still be praised by scholars, and it is really a fame."

When Li Daoyan said this, he was upright, as if he was the leader of the shilin at this time, and he had the ability to decide with one word.

But such hypocrisy, in Li Shimin's eyes, is a bit more hypocritical.

The people who spoke just now, Li Shimin knows their secret property clearly.It's nothing more than that the veil of mystery has not been torn off on the bright side.Li Shimin didn't want to tear off the fig leaf like this.

But what these people said, it seems that they can do it themselves, but others can't.Although Li Shimin really wanted to keep the huge profit-making business like book printing in his hands, Luo Yan might not be able to tell him his skills, and on the other hand, there were other honorable and high-ranking officials involved in the interests, so Li Shimin didn't want to do everything he could. .

His two sons and Changle's interests have already reached [-]%.No matter how ugly the eating phase is, it may not end well.

Li Shimin finally made a decision.

"Since you say so, then, let's call Luo Yan to ask clearly. What's going on with this matter, I don't know if it's true or not just listening to what you say."

Li Shimin's answer made director Li and others panic.

Luo Yan is in the court and the court where Luo Yan is not is completely different.Many people have experienced his ability of sharp mouth, catching the opponent's slip of the tongue can completely reverse the situation, this is what Luo Yan is best at.

They felt guilty, but Li Shimin had already sent someone to invite Luo Yan.

When the inner guard arrived at Guozixue, Luo Yan hadn't started his lecture yet.Hearing that it was Li Shimin calling, Luo Yan was stunned.For no reason, Li Shimin asked him for something.Luo Yan turned his attention to the inner guard.Since he was sent here, he must have known about it.

Regarding the Lord in front of him, the inner guard did not dare to neglect, knew what Luo Yan wanted to ask, and did not hide it, so he told Luo Yan everything that happened in the court, and then begged: "Mr. Hurry up. His Majesty is still waiting."

After Luo Yan finished listening, he secretly sighed, why did these guys take action, he couldn't wait any longer.Shouldn't this matter have been said a few days earlier, Bai made himself wait for such a long time.

Hurrying quickly, it took three quarters to arrive at the court hall.

At this time, Li Shimin and the other officials had finished dealing with other matters. When Luo Yan came in, Li Shimin said, "Luo Yan, some people say that you opened Moxiangju to compete with the people. What's going on, please tell me?"

No one thought that Li Shimin would be so straightforward.

Even Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, and some of the rhetoric he had thought up along the way was in vain.No way, tell me.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about this matter. I want to ask, who would dare to slander a humble minister like this." Those who knew the inside story were about to burst out laughing. Luo Yan was definitely talking nonsense.What is slander, is this the truth?

Before Li Shimin could say anything, Li Daoyan and the others began to reprimand him: "Luo Yan, don't deceive His Majesty in the court. Do you think I don't know that the shopkeeper of Moxiangju used to be your personal assistant?" servant."

After saying this, many people couldn't help laughing out loud.Didn't Luo Yan deal with this kind of thing before, but this time Li Daoyan really gave others a handle.

Luo Yan also laughed, but after laughing, he said seriously to Li Daoyan and the others: "Yes, Ah Quan used to be my personal servant. It's like the shopkeeper of Jixian Bookstore is the manager of your family, and Hanmoju is the manager of your family. The brother-in-law of the Patriarch of the Deng family is in charge, and Sansi Pavilion is in charge of Shutong, Duke Song."

Li Daoyan was instantly gagged.

It's no good for everyone to tear their face apart.But Luo Yan had another argument: "Even if this property is mine, I want to ask, how did I compete for profit with the people?" With a smile on his lips, Luo Yan asked very seriously.

"Is "The Analects" selling hundreds of articles, or "Spring and Autumn" selling more consistently? I said that Mo Xiangju is still losing money, so how can it be regarded as competing for profit with the people?"

Li Daoyan was a little embarrassed, that's not what he said.However, he still has something to say: "Didn't Mo Xiangju admit that the cost of printing has dropped, they are still making money."

"So you also know about this." Luo Yan made a gesture of sudden realization, but admitted the fact from the side.

"Since the cost has come down, it should be revealed to everyone. It's a disgrace to scholars that you hide it so privately. It's really a disgrace to scholars." The official of the Deng family criticized.

Luo Yan smiled brightly: "It's not impossible to take it out. It took me a total of 700 million yuan to develop this method. I released [-] copies of this method, and everyone Give me [-] million guan, and I will tell him the method."

"Luo Yan, after all, you are also the Duke of the court and a rookie in the scholarly circle. It's really shameful to be so greedy for money."

"It's shameful, you don't count, so I put 6000 million guan in it. Don't be ashamed, I just have an idea to improve papermaking in my heart, and I need to invest [-] million guan, why don't you do it for me? Luo Yan sneered, looking at the officials who mentioned him.
