At this moment, a piece of news in the newspaper caused a shock in Chang'an.

In Cui Renzhi's class room at Yushitai, Cui Renzhi looked at the newspaper in his hand with a gloomy expression. Today's newspaper published an article titled "The Contribution of a Prince", and the content was very simple.

The general meaning is that during the Zhengyuan Festival, Li Shen was taught a lesson by His Majesty for making a mistake. His Majesty taught King Ji that as a member of the royal family, he should care about the Tang Dynasty and not just care about his own interests.

We must put the people of the world first. The people of the world are all the subjects of the Li and Tang royal family, and they should have a better life.

Everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has books to read. After King Ji heard His Majesty's teachings, he blamed himself for his past actions and felt deeply that he had to do something practical for the people of Tang Dynasty.

So starting from tomorrow, Datang Bookstore will combine the upper and lower volumes of the nine types of books sold in the past few days into one volume. And each copy is still sold for ten coins. In other words, a set of books that originally cost twenty guan can now be bought for ten guan.

The article also said that from tomorrow onwards, Li Shen would shut up and think about his faults, and would not see outsiders. He should deeply reflect on his evil deeds, concentrate on his studies, etc.

There was a "pop" sound. After Cui Inzhi read the entire article, he slammed the newspaper on the table, "It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others."

"Mr. Cui's matter is of great importance. I think we should go to Prince Wei's Mansion to discuss it first," Wang Weitu said.

"No, prince, let's go to your house. King Wei is now deeply loved by His Majesty, and King Wei cannot be involved." Cui Renzhi is relatively rational. Li Shimin must be happy about this matter. If Li Tai objects, it will affect Li Tai's future. The image in Li Shimin's mind.

Li Shimin, who was working in Liangyi Hall, was also reading the newspaper Wang De had sent. Li Shimin was very satisfied with what he had taught Li Shen as mentioned above.

In fact, this was all arranged by Li Shen himself, but Li Shimin himself believed that what he said to Li Shen must have had some effect, and Li Shen told him that the cost of a book can be lowered in the future, Li Shimin Looking forward to that time coming.

"Li An, Li Shen is starting to make big moves. You sent a few hundred knights to secretly protect the palace. Tell Jin Wuwei to focus on Prince Ji's palace after the curfew. I'm worried that the family will jump over the wall.

Although ordinary people may still not be able to afford it at the current price, Li Shen said that the price will get lower and lower in the future, and people's income will also get higher and higher. "Li Shimin was worried that the aristocratic family would take action. They had done this often before.

In the evening, the family members of the later generations gathered at Wang Weiqu's house. Wei Ting sighed and said: "Oh~~ King Ji is so cruel. He is going to fight us head-on.

We acquired nearly 50 of his books, worth 500 million yuan. Each of our homes cost almost 80 to 50 yuan, and now he is selling it at half price. Each of our families will lose at least [-] million yuan.

This is not a small amount, and I don’t want to believe that the cost of his books can be this low. He is hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred. "

"Then let's wait and see first to see how long it can last at such a low price?" Cui Renzhi said.

Zheng Jingsi on the side gave a difficult question: "It's not about how long it will last, but how much it will produce. Today, the Tang Dynasty has a population of [-] million households, and there are not many scholars, only those who have taken the imperial examination."

If he is ruthless and produces more, everyone will have one by then. Who else will our books be sold to? We can’t wait three or two years. You must know that the storage and maintenance of books also requires a lot of money, and we have to spend nearly a million dollars on books? "

"What should we do? If we go to impeach this kind of thing, I guarantee that it will appear in the newspaper the next day. By then, not only will we offend the scholars in the world, but we will even involve the family." Cui Renzhi said upset.

Lu Chengqing, who had been silent all this time, said: "Everyone, there is nothing we can do about this matter, unless we destroy the printing factory, which can delay it for some time.

I received instructions from the clan before I came here. The clan leader will contact the clan leaders of each family to discuss a solution, and King Ji may have to be punished. "As he spoke, Lu Chengqing made a chopping motion with his hand.

"If that's the case, then let's wait for news from the clan." Cui Renzhi said helplessly

Wei Ting also sighed: "That's all. If you do it, you have to do it cleanly. If it doesn't succeed, I really don't know what the consequences will be.

The current King Ji is still making small fuss, but if we do it and he is fine, then I really don’t know what other methods he will use to compete with us.

King Ji was different from those civil servants and generals. King Ji valued business. He understood that money could do many things. "

Just as the family was discussing how to deal with Li Shen, the news in the newspaper spread throughout Chang'an in an instant as if it had wings. Many businessmen who wanted to return to the local area were also planning to stay and buy some books before leaving.

Early the next morning, the door of Datang Bookstore, which had been closed for a month, was filled with people waiting to buy books. Not long after, the door of Datang Bookstore slowly opened. Wang Xuance walked out first, looked at the crowd in front of the door and shouted loudly:

"Today's bookstore book sales rules have changed. First, personal purchases are limited to one copy of each type. Second, merchants must be merchants registered in the Boutique Pavilion. Other merchants are currently temporarily unable to supply due to our limited quantity."

"What, why don't you sell it to us?"

"Yes, you are a big bully in the store."

"People in the palace look down on other businessmen."

All of a sudden, both real and fake businessmen started shouting. Wang Xuance didn't care. He waved his hand and walked out of a team of 50 guards.

"The rules are set by our prince, and what he says are the rules. If any of you have any objections, you can go to the prince's palace to argue with the prince, but if you make trouble here, don't blame me for being rude." Wang Xuance showed Li Shen's image of a playboy vividly, saying He walked in without looking back.

The next thing happened very smoothly under the watchful eyes of fifty guards. He took the money to buy books and left.

The merchant has a dedicated person responsible for checking the identity. This is because Li Shen is afraid that people from the aristocratic family will buy it again. Li Shen needs to support each state in the country to allocate some. Time is too short and there is not so much inventory.

Datang Bookstore has not stopped selling for half a month, and the printing factory has been continuously shipping finished products to the city during this half month.

Li Shen's plan was to print for two months and distribute the remaining copies to newspapers in various states. Li Shen's purpose is to squeeze the goods in the hands of the family. Saturate the market and let everyone buy Saga’s books.

Just when everyone was paying attention to Datang Bookstore, there was another piece of news in the newspaper that attracted a lot of attention. The people who paid the most attention were businessmen. Datang Daily published an article. The title is: "Datang Daily Advertising Investment Promotion in Three Days." Welcome businessmen from all over the world to come and negotiate"
