Chapter 789 Three years of writing a dictionary

Zhao Hui was firm in his mind. Even if Xu Shu used his perfect tongue, he could convince Zhao Hui.

However, Zhen Mi compiled a dictionary and Zhao Hui still wanted to give this credit.

However, Zhen Mi is a daughter again and cannot give her high-ranking officials and generous salaries, which makes Zhao Hui very embarrassed.

"Please come here."

Hearing Zhao Hui's orders, Huang Kui immediately went down to make arrangements.

Zhao Hui said again: "Yuan Zhi, Fengxiao and others will arrive later. Don't mention Zhen Mi's marriage."

Xu Shu nodded. He was not the one who didn't know the importance of it.

Just now, there were only two of them, and he could ignore Zhao Hui's face a little.

But with more people, Zhao Hui is the lord after all. If Zhao Hui loses his face, Zhao Hui's prestige will be reduced and it will be difficult to deal with in the future.

After a while, Guo Jia and Jia Xu both came.

"Master."

"I've seen the lord."

As soon as the two of them came in, they saw Xu Shu sitting next to Zhao Hui.

"Yuanzhi, but what happened?"

"Look at it."

Xu Shu handed over the dictionary.

Although it was not made up by him, Xu Shu also felt very proud of Zhen Mi as his wife Zhen Rong's sister when she said that.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia took a look at each.

I immediately became jealous.

Even with the mind and status of the two, they will inevitably fall into clichés at this moment.

This is a thing that has been famous for all eternity, but they are not sure about it.

After compiling the dictionary, Zhao Hui mentioned it, but the two of them had a lot of things and couldn't take time. They thought they would talk about it when they had time in the future.

"Who is it?"

"Zhen Mi."

Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, Xu Shu said happily.

In terms of wisdom, Xu Shu is a little worse than Jia Xu and Guo Jia. When the three of them discussed matters together, Xu Shu often watched the two show off, and he looked like he was holding the wise beads, so he was already unhappy.

When they heard Xu Shu's words, they felt even more regretful.

Unexpectedly, when they waited, a little girl took the lead in this matter.

The two of them felt very regretful, and their eyes were filled with resentment when they looked at Zhao Hui.

"I mentioned it to you in the first place."

Zhao Hui spread his hands innocently.

Zhao Hui had already mentioned the dictionary matter very early, but just mentioned it a little, he did not arrange for anyone to edit it.

"Zhen Mi has made great contributions to compiling the dictionary. Let's talk about it. What reward should you give her?"

"Lord, this is a great achievement, and there is no reward that can be worth it." Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu can see the benefits brought by the dictionary.

In their opinion, it is more of a achievement than compiling historical books.

As long as anyone uses dictionary, Zhen Mi is his teacher.

It is no worse than the various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

"Even so, you must not give it a reward."

Zhao Hui also knew it, but if he didn't give Zhen Mi any benefits, Zhao Hui wouldn't be able to get over it.

If this matter was changed to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, or other great scholars, they would shook their heads and say, "Don't reward."

Because of this reputation, it is enough.

With this reputation, they are enough to be famous in history and to become generals and ministers.

You can even get a posthumous title after death.

Even a hundred years later, their statues will stand in various temples and worship them for them thousands of people.

With this reputation, even if they do not seek profit, all kinds of interests will come to you.

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune have been difficult to separate since ancient times.

Moreover, fame does not require Zhao Hui at all. As long as he writes it in the newspaper, Zhen Mi's fame will surpass countless people.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu can’t think of what to use to reward Zhen Mi.

"Any 10% of the profits generated by dictionary sales in the future will be Zhen Mi."

In the end, Zhao Hui thought of the copyrights of later generations.

Although there will inevitably be many pirated copies after this dictionary is released, Zhao Hui is powerless to stop it.

But this is the beginning.

Moreover, even in Youzhou and Jizhou, the benefits generated are amazing enough.

In the future, Zhen Mi really only needs people to sit at home and money comes from heaven.

Even if the Zhen family is penniless in the future, the benefits that the dictionary brings to Zhen Mi will be enough for Zhen Mi to be carefree for the rest of her life.

"The lord is wise."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu both agreed with Zhao Hui's decision.

I have made great achievements in compiling a dictionary. Not to mention that it only has 10% of the profits, even if it is 50%, neither of them will feel inappropriate.

"Lord, I don't know what price to set for this dictionary?"

"Two thousand dollars."

Zhao Hui did not intend to make money with dictionaries. Those children from aristocratic families were taught by their husbands, and dictionaries were optional for them.

The dictionary that is most needed is the homes of ordinary people.

The price is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.

The price Zhao Hui sets now is also a very big burden for ordinary people.

It is a month spent by many families.

There was no way, and Zhao Hui wanted to set the price a little lower. However, the dictionary was heavy and needed a lot of paper. In addition to other costs, Zhen Mi's income was 10% profit.

Two thousand dollars, as long as you are not too poor to lose the blame, you can still afford it if you grit your teeth.

Especially the people in Youzhou and Jizhou are now, their taxes are much lower, and the surplus food in their homes will gradually become more.

Other books are also sold for 2,000 yuan, but in terms of thickness, none of them is comparable to dictionary.

“This price…”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu and the others made up their minds and felt very tired.

They planned for Zhao Hui and are now in a high position and powerful position.

But the money I earn now is not as good as a girl's house.

Xu Shu was a little better. His brother-in-law, Zhen Mi's brother-in-law, was a family. He was smiling at the moment, as if the money was related to him.

"Yuanzhi, send this dictionary, let them print it with all their might. First print 10,000 copies."

Ten thousand books are 20 million yuan, which makes people look at it.

But Zhao Hui knew that dictionary sales were definitely not just like that.

If it weren't for the difficulty in printing now and the output was not enough, Zhao Hui would dare to print one million copies directly.

Children of aristocratic families are optional for dictionaries.

However, if ordinary people want their children to recognize their characters, but they can’t afford to hire a teacher or go to school, then dictionary is their best choice.

Even for those children who are well off, dictionary is very useful to them when they teach in private schools.

After all, after they go home, if they have any words they don’t understand, they can flip through the dictionary.

With a dictionary, you no longer have to worry about being thumped by the master in the palm of your hand while in school.

Even if it is a noble family, dictionary is optional for them.

But if you have a dictionary in your hand, they will be much more convenient, especially for children who are still learning to write.

"Lord, although the dictionary has been compiled, not many people understand this pinyin." Jia Xu said.

Zhao Hui has already made the pinyin, and Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others have learned it. It is really easy to use and can make people learn characters faster.
