"Just what?"

Ma Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard the first half of Li Zexuan's words, but when he heard the magical turning point behind him, Li Zexuan stopped talking, and he was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, secretly annoyed that Li Zexuan deliberately stung people's appetite.

Li Zexuan smiled, but did not answer, but changed the subject and asked:

"What do you think of the movable type printing in this workshop?"

When Ma Zhou heard this printing technique, he immediately became excited, and he said excitedly:

"Of course it's good! It's great! With this movable type printing, the cost of books will be greatly reduced, and in the future, poor scholars in the world can afford to read books. Your lord, this is an act of infinite merit!"

Li Zexuan asked in confusion: "What? What does Mr. mean that books are very expensive now? Scholars can't afford them?"

He has traveled for so long, and he has never bought a book in a bookstore, so he doesn't know much about the book market. Seeing that Ma Zhou was a little too excited, he became curious and asked this question.

When Ma Zhou heard Li Zexuan's question, he seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly turned red, he angrily hammered the pillar next to the hammer, and said angrily:

"It's more than expensive, it's just stealing money. I have a collection of millions of books in the Tang Dynasty, of which 700,000 to 800,000 are in the hands of aristocratic families. The price of a book in the bookstore is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for a year. How can those poor scholars afford it! If my father hadn’t left some books in the collection, Ma would still be a white Ding who doesn’t know big characters now. It’s not bad if he didn’t starve to death, how can he expect to study!”

Ma Zhou is now madly spouting, just like you are an ancient version of angry youth.

In fact, what Ma Zhou said was right. The book trade in the Tang Dynasty was active, and book shops spread all over the country. Since woodblock printing has not yet become popular, books are still mainly copied by hand, so their prices are relatively expensive, generally more than 1,000 yuan per volume.

Ye Mengde's "Shilin Yanyu" in the Southern Song Dynasty summed up the price of books before the Tang Dynasty with the word "precious". He said: "Before the Tang Dynasty, when writing books, there was no method of imprinting, and people valued the collection of books."

It can be seen that at that time, people regarded books as a very valuable commodity and scrambled to collect them, just like modern real estate, which was more valuable than gold, which led people to buy houses frantically.

Li Tai couldn't help but interjected: "Didn't the imperial court encourage people to copy books? Mr. Ma can copy books and send them to the government to exchange money before buying other books!"

After Li Er became emperor, in order to encourage people to donate books widely, he once decreed: "Three management institutes have less books, and those who accept them will be given thousands of dollars."

It means to copy a volume of books, and the price of each piece is 1,000 yuan. It can be said that it is the first time that the official price has been set. Therefore, books in bookstores are generally slightly higher than this price.

Ma Zhou said: "Fuck, you can borrow books first if you copy books. Those big families who have books know that you borrow books for copying, and they will charge you six or seven hundred yuan in rent first! Uh, oh, dare What do you call this little brother?"

Ma Zhou sprayed for a while, then remembered that he didn't know who this little fat man was.

"Master Liu, go and do your work first, I'll chat with Mr. Ma for a while!"

Li Zexuan said.

Liu Yidao said yes, backed out, and closed the door.

"Mr. Ma, this is His Royal Highness the current King Wei!"

Li Zexuan officially introduced Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou's calf trembled and he almost fell to his knees. He just finished spraying on Li Tai just now!

"Meet Wei... Wei Wang... Wang... Hall... Your Highness!"

Ma Zhou trembled.

Although he has some hatred for the rich in his bones, the supremacy of imperial power has been ingrained in his heart.

Moreover, Ma Zhou read the scriptures, history, sons, and collections, and brewed the national policy of Anbang, and naturally wanted to sell the emperor's family. For many years, he has not found the right "sales channel", only wandering between states and counties, where can he sell at a good price.

Now that he saw Li Tai, the most favored son of His Majesty, his mind became a little more alive, but when he remembered that he had just spit at Li Tai, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite!"

In fact, he didn't have much interest in Ma Zhou. After all, it was the first time they met, and he didn't know how talented Ma Zhou was. Besides, Ma Zhou's sloppy dress was really unimpressive.

On the other hand, he himself has a literature museum, and he has many bachelors, and he has no shortage of literati.

Ma Zhou has experienced so many years of love and affection, and naturally he can see that Li Tai lacks interest in him, and he can't help but sigh in the bottom of his heart, let's do the current job, don't be too ambitious.

Li Zexuan smiled and said to Ma Zhou, "Mr. Ma, at first I set up this printing department in the workshop. I just thought that it would be more convenient to print books in the future, so I invented this movable type printing technique."

Ma Zhou and Li Tai are both speechless. This is really a powerful reason. For the convenience of printing books, they set up a printing shop. How rich is your family!

"But today I met Mr. Ma, and after listening to Mr. Ma's words, I decided to make this printing department bigger and stronger. Later, the printing department was renamed the Ministry of Culture. People's wisdom.

And I also have a way to reduce the cost of paper. The ultimate dream of our Ministry of Culture is to make books and words affordable for everyone in the world! Brother Ma, I wonder if you are willing to help me sincerely? "

Li Zexuan looked at Ma Zhou and said sincerely.

These words are not completely flickering. Before he established the printing department, it was indeed just for his own convenience, but now if Ma Zhou can sit

Town Printing Department, if he only wanted to use the Printing Department to print books for himself, it would really be a waste of Ma Zhoujing's ability to govern the country. In the future, the Printing Department must be transformed into a cultural export department.

Ma Zhou's eyes widened and he was short of breath. He was really shocked by Li Zexuan's shocking words, "Let everyone in the world be able to read books and read words!" What a great dream!

Angry youth, angry youth, in addition to liking spraying, there is another characteristic that he likes to be impulsive. Ma Zhou lives up to the name of his angry youth. His head is hot, and he pats his chest and says loudly:

"I've done it! As long as I have a lifetime, everyone in the world can be able to read books and read words. Sir, you won't even give me a single salary, and I will do it too!"

At this moment, Ma Zhou has already forgotten about the ethics of scholars who do not engage in cheap jobs, and now he just wants to roll up his sleeves and work hard.

"Okay! Brother Ma is so bold, don't worry, with me here, this dream is definitely not just a dream, one day, it will definitely be realized by us! And brother Ma, you will not only be famous, but also rich!"

Li Zexuan also burst into arrogance and laughed.

Li Tai looked hot, and interjected: "Why don't you count me as a gentleman? Tai has a lot of bachelors, maybe he can help him!"

As a member of the royal family, Li Tai also has a position he should have. Li Er is now wantonly suppressing the five surnames and seven Wang, trying his best to promote poor officials. Therefore, Li Tai also has some people who do not like the family in his heart. Li Zexuan, the Ministry of Culture, deals with the family. A great weapon.

Li Zexuan didn't expect these twists and turns, he thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay, then this Ministry of Culture, I will share 30% of Qingque's shares, Qingque will remember to take 3,000 yuan to subscribe for shares in the future!"

The sale of books at a low price should affect the interests of many people. Li Zexuan wanted to pull a prince into the car and be a shield.

Li Tai vomited blood and said, "Three thousand guan? You... why don't you go grab it? I can send a few bachelors over to help you, can I ask for less money?"

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "No, Brother Ma alone is enough. If you think it is too expensive, Qingque, then give up and find Gao Ming for your teacher. I think Gao Ming will definitely be willing!"

Nonsense, Ma Zhou can be thinking, how can there be no talent in his chest? He didn't care about those bachelors under Li Tai! Maybe everyone's eyes are higher than the top, come here and don't work as an uncle!

"I am willing! Brother Zexuan, I am willing to pay 3,000 yuan to buy 30% of the shares!"

Li Chengqian shouted from outside the door.

Li Zexuan was speechless, saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Li Chengqian was probably eavesdropping outside for a while!

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian pushed open the door unceremoniously and entered, and then he looked at Li Zexuan excitedly.
