Chapter 747 The family is dumbfounded
“No problem.”
Lu Fulin agreed simply. Li De felt that doing business with the court was really good, and being rich was so domineering.
Is it necessary to print books and popularize knowledge to cultivate literati and poets? Li De thought about what was going on and he didn't want to ask about it.
He just asked about Hongmudan but attached great importance to the news about this.
The relationship between the imperial court and Youzhou was not as harmonious as expected, and suddenly came over and said that it was questionable that it was necessary to do business.
Lu Fulin did not come to Youzhou in vain. Li De arranged for him to visit Youzhou, especially inns, artificial hot springs, and various entertainment projects in the suburbs. Anyway, he could earn more points.
Lu Fulin is welcome, he is all spending money. Lu Fulin is the Minister of the Honglu Temple and is not short of this amount of money, not to mention that he has the task of visiting Youzhou.
After finishing the matter, I have been traveling in Youzhou.
The most common thing I saw was farming. Youzhou farming is very fast, and all cattle, sheep and horses are used. Some people actively introduced the cost of using it. Lu Fulin's eyes wide opens his eyes.
I have written a letter back to Luoyang, focusing on the role of fertilizers.
Officials pass messages and process them quickly. Now Chang'an and Luoyang are busy farming, and it is time to go.
In order to save time, I specially used a 600-mile fast horse to deliver the letter. After receiving the message, the officials of the court also thought about buying some fertilizers.
After some kindness, all the officials of the court passed this plan, and the money could only be released from the Sui State treasury. Even if they were unwilling to spend so much money, the court had to pay for the purpose of giving away food.
Lu Fulin brought two businesses in Youzhou at one time.
Lu Fulin didn't read it in vain for a few days. He went to Youzhou's bookstore. The books sold in them were basically new textbooks, and all the professors on them were mathematics, physics and chemistry.
There was no best-selling book of various theories. Seeing is true and hearing is false, Lu Fulin sent all these messages back to Luoyang by letter.
After the court officials learned that this was the case, they became more confident about the incident of killing Youzhou this time, and the aristocratic family also hoped to add orders.
Lu Fulin naturally wants to convey it, and Li De hopes that the more orders the better.
What Lu Fulin didn't know was that Youzhou Papermaking Workshop really does not lack paper for printing these books, and now there are several movable type templates for books that have been checked before, so I took them over and used them directly.
Two-tenths of the project have been completed now.
The printing of movable type in Youzhou is so convenient. It also opens multiple books to print, and the workers work overtime.
The bonus income will be a lot in the past two months, and the craftsmen are very active.
"How are the printing of the imperial court's books?"
When Li De was working in the city guard office, he asked when he saw Princess Yu. The guard was a busy man, running back and forth from the south to the north.
All the printing matters were left to Princess Yu. She supervised the financial affairs of the Pioneer Army and had already been recorded.
Lu Fulin has not left. Half a month passed and two of the books he provided have been printed. There are still a few books left to be completed in another month and a half.
Youzhou's printing technology is very convenient and efficient. The most troublesome thing is the need to type movable type printing.
The batch printing of page by page is very fast.
It takes a lot of time to bind a book into a book, and the workers in the printing workshop are several times more than usual.
Fortunately, Li De asked someone to prepare more templates when he was studying movable type printing, and now he is much more busy.
The production costs of advanced technology will be reduced accordingly.
Lu Fulin didn't know about these things, and thought their plan had been successful.
Nothing happened during the spring plowing. Three months later, the printed books were transported to Luoyang under the escort of the caravan.
The goods of hundreds of carriages are really envious.
The aristocratic families were happy and they didn't have to print these books within five years when they saw them.
However, what makes them depressed is why there are so many books.
If Youzhou is able to seize it on time, it means that their transaction is completed. It is obvious that they are cheating others.
There are hundreds of big trucks of books, and according to the market price, there are so many scholars from aristocratic families who can’t sell them all.
If you want to sell these books for ten years, you can't sell them.
I dug a hole but fell into it myself.
The officials of the court were stunned.
Lu Fulin couldn't believe that it was obvious that Youzhou Bookstore did not sell these books, and he confirmed it.
The aristocratic family is really in trouble. They spent a lot of money to buy them in the near future and finally exchanged them for books.
How can they be content?
"Damn it, didn't you say that there wasn't so much paper in Youzhou? How could this happen?"
The head of the aristocratic family was a little overwhelmed when they saw books in several rooms. They invested a lot of money for this matter.
Now it is all used to buy books. Many people want to know how the books in Youzhou are produced at such a low price.
Of course no one explained this to them.
Emperor Yang of Sui rarely made no statement and allowed officials to argue with each other in the court.
If they touch the interests of the aristocratic family, they just let it go without thinking.
More smart people want to know why there are a large amount of paper in Youzhou and how to complete the printing task so quickly.
So the aristocratic families sent masters to Youzhou to spy on it.
There were many open and secret whistles near the workshop, and not long after, someone sneaked into the workshop in Youzhou to investigate.
It is not easy to join the ranks of workers by registering false information.
Three people have been caught by Hongmudan’s men for several consecutive days.
They didn't say anything. For others, they might be stolen from the hard bones. When they encounter vanguard soldiers, the consequences of being left to spies will be even worse.
Half a month later, no one sent by the aristocratic family to investigate the news came back, which means they might not be able to come back.
In the end, the court will still be responsible for this matter.
The relationship between aristocratic families is complicated and the civil and military officials in the court are under great pressure.
Li De was very happy that the book printing workshop had a lot of income. In the past few months, everyone can get a bonus for the production workers except for their wages.
The staff at the workshop were extremely happy.
Merchants all heard that the imperial court customized a large number of books, and the number of those books made them cut off the idea of selling books near Chang'an and Luoyang.
Many businessmen also think that the wholesale book business has ended up doing it, and think that it is the aristocratic families who specifically target them, the merchants who sell books.
It’s just that they don’t leave a way out for them, and many businessmen just say they can’t afford to offend them.
This is the case in the industry. Merchants jointly invest money to print books to earn the difference. Now that aristocratic families join, the number of books they reserve is huge, so where can they sell them?
