In the autumn wind, on the Pingkangfang Polo Stadium, the Royal Salu Zi team and the Pingkangfang Qinjia Hulei Leopard team had a wonderful showdown.

The emperor and the prince also visited the stadium in person to cheer for their own team. The venue had already been full, and countless people bet on Ma Cai.

In the emperor's private room, Qin Lang spoke with the emperor.

"Recently, several new bookstores have been opened in Chang'an City." Li Shimin said while eating fruit.

"Well, there are many bookstores that have been opened. This is a good thing and a cultural event!" Qin Lang replied while peeling pears for beauty.

After Fang Xuanling talked with Qin Lang, although the Lu family was very unhappy, Fang Xuanling rarely got tough in front of his wife, so the Lu family finally vomited three thousand guan. Cheng Chumo also greeted Wu Ling, Liu Shuyi and the others, so the imperial prison was released, and the paper shop began to supply bamboo paper to the Lu family, and even the ink was opened to them.

Both sides did not drag on the silence and immediately turned into war into jade.

Tianyi Bookstore was also renovated and opened soon. They even purchased thousands of copies of the three-character classics, thousands of characters, Taibai's poetry collections from the Qin family.

People in Chang'an like to watch the fun.

I thought I could watch this excitement for a long time, but who knew it would end so soon. Many people said that the Lu family admitted their conscience, and some said that Fang Xuanling came forward and Qin Lang gave him face. But no matter what, since it was reported outside that the Lu family spent 3,000 guan and that Tianyi Bookstore was able to be opened again, it was natural that Shandong generals beat the Lu family in Fanyang.

This result can be said to be surprising.

I thought that the Lu family of Fanyang, who had been with the prime minister, would make Shandong generals suffer a loss, but who knew that the result would be that Shandong people would laugh the best.

As a result, the reputation of Shandong generals was greatly shocked.

Taking advantage of this limelight, Qin Lang simply took the initiative to find the Cui family in Boling. Cui Dunli heard that Qin Lang was willing to transfer bamboo paper ink engraved printing technology to them according to the conditions given to the Lu family, and was willing to release the supply of paper and ink to them. Cui Dunli was very happy.

He knew very well how bad the Lu family had suffered this time.

Boling Cui and Fan Yang Luna are the two families with the longest marriage. Previously, he suppressed his actions due to his kinship with the Qin family, especially the help of the Qin family father and son.

Qin Lang is still very happy to be willing to transfer his technology at this time.

If you steal your own skills, you will do it in a way, pay some money, and cooperate in a friendly manner. With the current momentum of the Qin family, the Cui family is not willing to cause trouble.

So Cui Dunli also paid 3,000 guan and obtained a complete set of technology from Qin Lang, and Qin Lang also provided a technical training.

The Cui family in Boling soon opened a new bookstore, Yueweitang, in Chang'an, which also focuses on woodblock printing books.

Next, Qin Lang contacted the Zheng family in Xingyang, Lao Cheng came forward to make an appointment with the Cui family in Qinghe, and then discussed cooperation with the Wang family in Taiyuan through Cui Dunli.

Zhang Liang came forward to find Li's family in Zhaojun.

Zheng Cui, King Li and others were rich and powerful, and did not refuse the olive branch that Qin Lang offered voluntary funds. They were willing to buy an entrance ticket for three thousand guan.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Lang also talked with famous gentry such as the Xiao family of Lanling, Pei family of Hedong, and Yang family of Hongnong. These also occupied an important seat in the paper and ink book market. The Xiao family of Lanling only bought woodblock printing technology, while the Yang family of Hongnong also bought ink technology.

Anyway, some people think that there are many paper shops that have bamboo paper production technology now, so they buy paper directly from them without intending to make these papers themselves.

For example, the Xiao family in Lanling also made paper, but they made some high-end paper, which could be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. They were too lazy to insert cheap bamboo paper.

They didn't even have much idea about woodblock printing, but everyone has it, so let's pay a little money.

Overnight.

The woodblock printing technology became a mess and became popular by Qin Lang.

Even the production technology of bamboo paper and ink is now mastered by dozens of companies.

Originally, Lu felt that he had suffered a loss. Who knew that after these three thousand guancao flowers were out, the technology was ruined. Lu wanted to have a place in the new market, but he had no advantage.

Lu was very annoyed. He spent the most money before and after, but he was hit harder and there were not many benefits.

This is so angry.

But now that things have come to this, so what can we do?

As for the Shandong General Party, this business was led by Qin Lang. Although everyone invested some money, the technology transfer fee alone had already recovered and made a lot of money. What's more, their paper shop Mofang was built early and was already ahead. And everyone was in a group model. Jixian Library has expanded into more than 300 chain franchise stores, making it one in every state, and even some big counties have begun to have new stores.

Jixian Library is backed by the East Palace and has now obtained the order of the Nine Classics Justice. It is busy printing day and night. Although other companies have also obtained technology, they cannot catch up with the momentum of Jixian Library.

Of course, they naturally won’t lose money by holding this new technology. Lu’s family printed the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Changes. Zheng’s family printed the Tao Te Ching, and Taiyuan’s Wang family printed the Records of the Grand Historian………………

For a moment, flowers bloomed and bookstores contended.

The price of books also plummeted, down ten times, and even a lot of paper such as bamboo paper fell sharply. The most benefited was naturally the readers in the world.

Even the imperial court has gained a bargain. The daily consumption of paper and ink by the imperial court and government offices in various places is also a big deal. Now the price drop has also greatly reduced their expenses.

Of course, Li Shimin was happy to see it.

In the end, these good names fell on Prince Chengqian.

Now Li Shimin asked Qin Lang Bookstore, but in fact he wanted to ask him. Suddenly, so many bookstores appeared and the prices dropped so much. Can Jixian Library still make money? After all, this is also one of the industries of the East Palace.

Qin Lang's answer is that business is booming and profits are good.

Jixian Library has even begun to pay a lot of taxes to the court.

In the past, books were copied in a copying model, with high prices and low volume, so in general, they are not much more profitable than they are now. Although single books are sold cheaply, the cost is low and the profit is not only a matter of quantity, but also a matter of profit margin.

Although the books in Jixian Library are sold at a price of almost a penny per page, they can actually make half of the profit, which is actually much higher than before.

In addition, Qin Lang is not only selling books, he also has a book rental business. More than 200 Jixian Library have been built across the country, selling books and renting books. A volume of Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi sold 50 yuan for one yuan a day, and it seems that the rent is not much, but if this book is truly discussed, it is actually more profitable than selling.

Books like Nine Classics and Justice can be rented out repeatedly and circulated quickly. Even if you rent them for half of the time a year, you can still get nearly 200 yuan, which is equivalent to four times the price you sell.

The business of traditional bookstores has not collapsed as expected, because woodblock printing books also have some restrictions. Woodblock printing of books with large quantities is cost-effective, but if it is a small quantity, it is actually suitable for hand-copying, and the cost is lower.

Of course, some collectors prefer to collect handwritten manuscripts, especially handwritten manuscripts of some famous calligraphy people. This is not only a book, but also a work of calligraphy art.

Books copied by good paper, ink and calligraphy are of course more valuable for collection.

However, the market for hand-copying books has also been affected. The most important thing is that cheap bamboo paper appears in the market, so many people choose to copy books. The market has added many new ink shops, and the supply has increased, so the price has naturally begun to decline. Therefore, the labor cost of hand-copying books has not changed, but after the material cost has dropped sharply, hand-copying books has also begun to drop.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Lang.

He is now increasingly impressed by this kid, and everything he does is always unexpected.

Polo was just a kind of entertainment for the noble family, but Qin Lang created a Changan Polo League, and also created a third-level competition such as the Super League and the A-League League, and even created a Changan Student Polo League. The teams from various companies were organized to play games, attracting businessmen to advertise and sponsor or even name them. Here they were selling tickets and lottery.

The people of Chang'an enriched their entertainment life, the nobles expanded their influence, and even made money by raising teams. The court received good taxes, which seemed to be the result of everyone being good.

Qin Lang asked the court to build a Kaiyuan Money House, and the people saved money without paying the storage fee and had interest. As a result, he used the money to lend money, which was much lower than the original interest on the market, but he could make a lot of profits.

Qin Lang wanted the court to transfer the Kaiyuan Money House to the East Palace, but after Li Shimin refused, Qin Lang turned to a Jiade Pawn. Compared to the pledge warehouse and dictionary shop that had already existed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, this Jiade Pawn is essentially a pawn shop, but they have a large capital, long redemption period, low interest, and accept mortgages from movable or real estate. Even after evaluation, if they have good credit, they can still make credit mortgages, which is actually a loan business.

The flexible operation of the East Palace Jiade Pawnshop is a supplement to Kaiyuan Money House. The key is that this is not a sole proprietorship from the East Palace. This is because Qin Lang has joined many Shandong generals to invest in partnership. Compared with the high threshold for borrowing in Kaiyuan Money House, there is obviously no threshold for Jiade Pawnshop. Even poor people can use some old clothes as urgent use.

Jiade Pawnshop is a profitable business, but after Li Shimin sent someone to investigate carefully, he found that this was not just a profitable business. The establishment of Kaiyuan Money House and Jiade Pawnshop quickly expanded its scale, which not only brought a lot of profits to the court and the East Palace, but also quickly suppressed the originally extremely high interest on borrowing among the people.

Because the interest rates of Kaiyuan Money House and Jiade Pawns are much lower than the original ones, many merchants and people have turned to borrow money from them, and private usury has suffered a huge blow. Nowadays, the usury on the market has even generally lowered a lot of interest.

Especially the credit loan launched by Jiade Pawns, which can be granted credit limits by leasing credit assessments. People can apply for "white slips", repay monthly, and even installments. This kind of white slip is essentially an unsecured credit loan, but it has another great feature that this white slip can be used as a money sticker in all Jiade Pawns. You can get as much as you want at the counter. Then all the withdrawn ones are recorded in the monthly bill to calculate interest. The unused amount is not calculated, which is very convenient and free.

Jiade Pawnshop has even been connected with merchants in Pingkangfang, allowing customers to use the "dangbao" launched by Jiade Pawnshop. This is similar to a paper bill of flying coins, but it has an amount and is redeemable if you see the bill without a name.

This is already ahead of Kaiyuan Money House.

"I plan to let the inner shop open a pawn shop and issue it as a banknote, how about it?" Li Shimin finally revealed his fox's tail.

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Of course, I can ask Jiade Pawnshop to send someone to assist the inner shop in opening a pawn shop and provide technical guidance. If the money shop and pawn shop are formally operated, it will be beneficial to industrial and commercial finance."

"Your Majesty, can you let the East Palace open a money house?"

"If the East Palace opened a money house, is it like the Jiade Pawnshop, and there are many partners behind it?"

Qin Lang nodded, "There is a large capital in partnership, and it has more advantages than sole proprietorship, and the stronger the ability to resist risks."

Li Shimin smiled and looked like I had expected it.

"You will hold the flag of the East Palace!" The emperor obviously had some objections to Qin Langxianming under the banner of the East Palace, pulling Shandong generals to set up a bookmarket, bookstore, and pawn shop. Now, Li Shimin obviously did not agree immediately about the fact that he wanted to bargain with the emperor and interfering in the business of the money shop.

"The Neifang has not yet established a money shop!" said the emperor.
Chapter completed!
