Chapter 340 Price
"Your Majesty, are you worried that after you divert the dictionary, those ordinary people who have never known the characters will understand how to pronounce the characters on these dictionaries and how to pronounce them?"
Zhu Zi'an lay lazily on the chair, holding a glass of air-conditioned fruit drink in one hand, and said lazily.
“That’s right!”
On the side, Zhu Yuanzhang was not much better either.
Any time there is a depravity, the depravity after that will come naturally.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhu Zi'an so many times, from the initial confusion to resistance, to active actions.
As soon as I entered Zhu Zi'an's door, I became lazy inside.
It's completely different from being outside.
"Your Majesty, you can actually start opening a library in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, selling letter booklets and then selling these dictionaries! After those people learn letter booklets within a few days, as long as they have a book, they can read and learn by themselves according to the text on the dictionary!"
Zhu Zi'an hurriedly said, "In addition, there should be thousands of people in Nanjing now who have learned letters and literacy. Then, the emperor can send these people to various places to teach those farmers who have not yet learned letters.
Finally, in order to avoid these literate people from leaving Nanjing City, they traveled to various regions in a hurry.
Therefore, the emperor can make a policy. Anyone who goes out to teach those illiterate farmers can give a dictionary for free. In addition, every time one person teaches to read, he will be rewarded with fifty cents!"
"Send dictionary and reward coins?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown.
He has never induced those people to do anything like this.
Many times, it is directly requisitioned.
However, after just a few moments of listening, Zhu Yuanzhang had already accepted Zhu Zi'an's suggestion.
After all, money is the most convenient way to open up the road.
"Your Majesty, this thing is the fastest and most efficient way for Zian to think of!" Zhu Zian said softly.
"It's so second time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded quickly.
Immediately, he looked at Zhu Zi'an's face and looked even more happy.
"Prince, how much do you plan to sell for those dictionaries?"
Suddenly, Zhu Zian thought of another thing and asked quickly.
“Selling price?”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.
Seeing this, Zhu Zi'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, you are not going to give it for free, are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid yet!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.
"Your Majesty, how much do you plan to sell for?" Zhu Zi'an asked.
"Zi'an, we haven't had time to consider the country's fault. However, since this dictionary is to face the people given to the whole country, we can choose a dictionary for 50 cents!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Fifty-month?"
Zhu Zi'an sat up directly.
"Zi'an, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked.
Zhu Zi'an Ru reacted very much, and this was the first time he had seen him.
"Your Majesty, I don't know that fifty cents can be enough for the dictionary?"
"The cost of a dictionary is exactly fifty-month!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Your Majesty, this person must not be!"
Zhu Zi'an said quickly.
"Your Majesty, opening a library to sell dictionaries is already a business matter. Therefore, if the emperor sells for fifty cents, he will definitely lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"
"Zi'an, we originally wanted to give this dictionary to those people!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Now, after the sweet potatoes come out, and during this period, there is no longer a lack of silver in the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang's actions were much more generous.
However, since you want to do business, you must not give it for free.
Zhu Zi'an looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a solemn face and said slowly: "Your Majesty, since you want to open a library to sell dictionaries, you must not lose money. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of corruption!"
"Opening a library is to make money. The emperor wants to make more poor people to read and read, so this matter is understandable. However, the emperor's library also needs to survive. The dictionary is a big sign. If the emperor directly puts it on the dictionary and sells it, those who sell it will not know the emperor's thoughts. Moreover, the dictionary is so cheap, and there will be many people who will not cherish it after buying the dictionary.
Moreover, since we are going to open a library, every city in the Ming Dynasty needs to open a library. If the library does not make any profit, the storekeepers of the library will have no money to live..."
"Since that's the case, then Zi'an, how much money should I sell?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zi'an tightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"The emperor, you must not only allow the dictionary to appear in poor homes at the cheapest price, but also allow the library to support itself. Therefore, Zi'an feels that it is appropriate to sell a dictionary for one hundred essays! In this way, you will not lose money or make much money!"
Zhu Zi'an said.
"In this way, I will listen to Zi'an!"
Zhu Yuanzhang never carried out deep reconciliation about merchants and these things.
"In addition, in order to allow more people to read, even if they just learned the letters, they can still read some books. For example, the Four Books and Five Classics can be marked with letters. Then, they will be sold again.
Zi'an believes that many people will buy these books!"
"We will leave this matter to you and Biao'er to handle it!"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already been a little confused.
After speaking, he lay lazily on the chair again, enjoying himself.
At the same time, he listened to Zhu Zi'an's discussion with Zhu Biao.
Or is necessary to hold a library in the country.
Therefore, various reasons need to be considered.
In the end, the two of them just discussed that the library could be opened at most to the county or above.
Moreover, in those small counties, at most one library is opened in each county.
As for the shopkeepers of the library, they are those literate farmers in Nanjing who can choose some reliable people. They can be used as shopkeepers of the library while teaching the letters of the local people.
In the next few days, Zhu Biao, Zhu Zi'an and others followed three small people, including Zhu Bi, Zhu Di.
The entire city of Nanjing began to prepare for the library.
With the leader of the current crown prince, several princes took action.
In Nanjing, it is very easy to prepare a library.
However, the most difficult ones are the books with letters.
If you want to sell those books, you need to print tens of thousands of books, or even hundreds of thousands! In Nanjing, it is very easy to prepare a library.
However, the most difficult ones are the books with letters.
