Chapter 202 Selling Anxiety(1/2)

Pei Shaoqing said: "This paper is made of bamboo in Qingyang Mountain, so we call him Qingyang Paper."

"Qingyang Paper?" Liu Yizhi said in a silence, "You mean, is this the paper you guard and capture department made by yourself? You have always said you wanted to make paper, but it really happened?"

"It's really done."

Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "It's this Qingyang paper."

"How much does it cost?" Liu Yizhi said, "Is it more expensive or cheaper than tribute paper?"

Pei Shaoqing stretched out a slap and said, "The cost of bamboo paper is probably this number at present."

"You need five silos?" Liu Yizhi said, "It's no wonder that such high-quality paper is more expensive, but in this case, it's impossible to print classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and books."

Pei Shaoqing smiled and said nothing, just shook his head.

"What does it mean?" Liu Yi said, "Is it possible that it only costs five hundred yuan?"

It only costs five hundred yuan, and the price is about the same as ordinary hemp paper, which is a surprise.

However, what surprised Liu Yizhi even more was that Pei Shaoqing still smiled without saying a word after hearing this and continued to shake his head.

Liu Yizhi widened his eyes in surprise and whispered: "Shaoqing, don't tell me that this Qingyang paper only costs fifty dollars?"

"That's right, it only costs fifty coins." Pei Shaoqing said, "A Qingyang paper like Yidao only costs fifty coins!"

"How is that possible?" Liu Yizhi shouted in disbelief.

"Are you surprised?" Pei Shaoqing said, "Are you surprised?"

After a long time, Liu Yizhi finally calmed down and said in a deep voice: "So, it's only more than ten pieces of money that you can print a set of classics, history, and literature collections?"

"It's really only more than ten coins." Pei Shaoqing said, "I can't lie to you."

"You guy is really bad." Liu Yizhi said, "You cost more than ten cents, but you dare to sell 400 cents!"

"Old Liu, your words are not objective." Pei Shaoqing said, "If the same thing is left to others, copying a set of classics, history, and essays is considered to be a small amount, right?"

"That's true." Liu Yizhi nodded.

"Transfer to the Secretary-General or Hongwen Yuan for copying, a thousand stakes are not necessarily enough."

"Isn't this going to be over?" Pei Shaoqing said, "So it's not an exaggeration for us to sell 400 trump cards at all. As for the actual cost and the profit, what does it have to do with others?"

"Are we wrong to make money by our ability?"

Liu Yizhi thought for a while and said, "It's reasonable for you to say that."

"Yes, this is called intellectual property." Pei Shaoqing said, "Intellectual property is the most valuable."

Liu Yizhi said again: "If I guess correctly, this should be the game set up by Master Liu and you, right?"

"Didn't you ask me knowingly?" Pei Shaoqing nodded, "The purpose of my doing this is to scrape a layer of oil from the high-ranking gate of the aristocratic family!"

"But you still need your help in this matter."

After saying this, I said this again.

After hearing this, Liu Yizhi was dumbfounded and said, "You are too hurtful, right? Isn't this cheating?"

"What are you cheating?" Pei Shaoqing said, "These aristocratic families rely on monopoly on books, control the government for many years, and use their power to gain a lot of benefits. Now it is time to spit out some money to feed back to the poor family."

"That's true." Liu Yizhi nodded and said, "The noble family members should pay some money with huge wealth."

"Come on, drink tea." Pei Shaoqing said again, "The tea should be hot while it is cold, and it will not be good to drink."

Liu Yizhi was not polite, and finished the tea in a few sips, and said, "Get two more packets of tea."

"Okay." Pei Shaoqing said, "You old Liu speaks, who dares not give me?"

At that moment, Cui Erlang was ordered to bring two packs of tea.

Liu Yizhi accepted it with a smile.

...

As soon as Liu Yi left, Queen Luo Bin arrived.

When he came in, he saw that there was only one person. Luo Binwang asked, "Brother Pei, why didn't you call Lao Yang and Lao Lu?"

"Brother Luo, please sit down." Pei Shaoqing asked Luo Binwang to take his seat and said, "Because today we can only find Brother Luo, you, and not Brother Yang or Brother Lu, so I only invite you to come."

"Why is this?" Luo Bin said, "Why can only find me?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "Because Brother Lu comes from the Fanyang Lu family, Brother Yang wants to say that he is from the Jingzhao Yang family, so they will definitely strongly oppose what I want to do."

Luo Binwang suddenly felt a sudden change of heart. Is it related to family background?

Wang Yang and Lu Luo were often called the Four Heroes of the Tang Dynasty by people at that time.

But in fact, Luo Binwang is an alien among the four.

Because Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin are both children of aristocratic families, only Luo Binwang is from a poor family and is a real poor family, not a branch of a high family or something.

Therefore, Luo Binwang's starting point is much lower than that of Wang Yanglu, and his career path is even more difficult.

After pausing, Pei Shaoqing said again: "So, I can only ask Brother Luo for help in this matter."

"It's easy to say." Luo Binwang nodded and said, "Brother Pei, don't know what you are talking about?"

Pei Shaoqing asked without answering, "Brother Luo, you are one of the four great masters of the Tang Dynasty. You are skilled in articles and have extraordinary talents in poetry. Whenever there is a poetry meeting in Chang'an City, you will be invited to come, right?"

Luo Binwang then said, "Brother Pei, aren't you going more?"

"How can I compare with you brother Luo?" Pei Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "You are all real talents and knowledgeable, but I just memorized a lot of poems from heaven. These poems were not written by me myself."

"But that is a poem from heaven after all." Luo Bin and Wang said enviously.

The Tang Dynasty advocated poetry and prose, and the noble families especially liked art of elegance, so they often used excuses to hold poetry meetings.

For example, if a certain aristocratic family built a garden, an old lady from a high-ranking family celebrated her birthday, or if she had a dream, she would invite talented men or recognized masters of articles in Chang'an City to come.

And it will also give Cheng Yi a lot of money.

If the poem is well written, there will be additional rewards.

The poets and masters of articles in Chang'an City are also happy to participate in such poetry meetings. On the one hand, they can become famous, and on the other hand, they can also get a lot of extra money. Why not do it?

Luo Binwang made his fortune by participating in poetry gatherings.

So I particularly envy Pei Shaoqing's abundance of poetry.

If all this sacred poem belonged to him, Cheng Yi would come back if he didn't know how much he could earn.

What makes people angry is that Pei Shaoqing abandoned this poem as if he was despised and refused to attend the invitation from a noble family. He refused to attend it once. It was really annoying.

"So what about Tianshi? It's not mine."

Pei Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I have something to ask Brother Luo."

Seeing Pei Shaoqing's solemn appearance, Luo Binwang also became serious and asked, "What's the matter?"

"That's the case." Pei Shaoqing said the whole story of Liu Rengui's investment in the publication of a thousand collections of classics, history and books to the poor children in the Imperial College.

"What happened?"

Luo Binwang sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't encounter such a good thing back then."

Luo Binwang thought to himself, if I could have a complete set of classics, history, and the examination of the Jinshi exam would be like playing, so why would I become an aide to the Taoist King's House?

"Good things are good things."

Pei Shaoqing said again: "But it will inevitably touch the nerves of the high-ranking families."

"So they will block the news, right?" Luo Binwang automatically thought, "Brother Pei, don't worry, brother Pei, I will do my best to promote this matter everywhere."

"It's not this."

Pei Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "It is impossible to block the news in such a situation, and it cannot be blocked."

"What's that?" Luo Binwang was confused, "So Brother Pei, what do you want your younger brother to do?"

"I know Brother Luo, you are very eloquent. You can scold people to death, and you will be scolded alive." Pei Shaoqing said in his heart that your letter to Xu Jingye's Wu Zhao edict will be passed down for thousands of years!

He also said: "I hope you will do your best to exaggerate this matter when you attend the poetry meeting."

"The more serious it is, the better it is best to make all the noble families in Chang'an believe,"

"If they don't do anything, the high-ranking families of the aristocratic families will be occupied by the poor families. Then, in less than twenty years, the court will be filled with poor families!"

"Ah?" Luo Binwang changed his mind, "Brother Pei, why are the poor children?"

"Brother Luo, you have to believe me." Pei Shaoqing said solemnly, "I am also from a poor family. No matter who I harm, I will never harm my poor family!"

"Okay, I believe you this time."

Luo Binwang hesitated for a moment and still focused on the key points.

"Okay, I know that Brother Luo, you won't let me down."

Pei Shaoqing nodded and said, "Oh by the way, try to go to the Duke of England as little as possible in the future."

"Huh?" Luo Binwang asked with a stern expression, "Brother Pei, have you heard any wind?"

"Don't ask, you just don't know." Pei Shaoqing said, "Anyway, it's far away from Li Jingye."
