Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 447 Printing House

After leaving the palace, the sun was still scorching, making people sweat all over.

Qin Tian and Cheng Yaojin walked side by side.

"Several princes, are you interested in opening a bookstore with the younger generation?"

Qin Tian said with a smile, but Cheng Yaojin pretended not to hear.

"Oh, my kid can finally go out to play, I don't know how happy he will be."

On Yu Chigong's side, he also smiled: "My kid is also like that, but he still has to be disciplined."

"That's right, that's right, they're not too young, and they'll soon have to go to the battlefield to practice. As the sons of generals, they'll go to war sooner or later."

"........."

A few people deliberately changed the topic, Qin Tian saw them like this, but he was not in a hurry, he just sighed softly and said: "Oh, the opportunity to make money, this time it will be cheaper for me, Qin Tian."

As he spoke, Qin Tian quickened his pace and walked forward. Cheng Yaojin and others heard this from behind, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other.

"Can you believe what this kid says?"

"He doesn't seem to have missed it."

Several people said a few words like this, and then pulled Qin Tian back.

"What did your kid just say?"

"I didn't say anything."

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips: "You said you wanted to open a bookstore with us, and we agreed."

"That's right, just tell me what to do."

If a person is making money all the time, then other people will easily believe him, Qin Tian smiled: "To open a bookstore, naturally you need to be busy with many things, the first is a printing factory, I can open one in Qinjia Village, You don't have to worry about it. Another thing is that you need a large bookstore. It is best to open it in West Market. If you want to cooperate, why not buy a piece of land in West Market and build a bookstore, and then we will share the profits equally. How? Sample?"

The land in West Market is not cheap, and it will definitely cost money to build a large bookstore. Several people looked at each other, but nodded in agreement.

To them, buying a piece of land in West Market is nothing at all.

"Since you guys agree, let's split up the work. Within a month, the bookstore should be completed. Then I will bring the books in, and everyone will wait to make money."

After saying this, Cheng Yaojin and others didn't doubt it at all, and really followed what Qin Tian said.

Qin Tian here, after returning to the mansion, brought Qin Wu back to Qin's Village.

Qin's Village is now very prosperous, and it is the largest village among all nearby villages. Now, the scope of Qin's Village has begun to extend to the surrounding villages. Depending on the situation, it will be a matter of time before other villages are annexed.

This is actually quite normal. When the Qin family develops more and more rapidly and needs more and more people, but the Qin family village has insufficient manpower, it naturally needs to expand.

The Qin family village is more or less related to the surrounding villages. For example, the women in the Qin family village married to the next village, and the women in the next village married to the Qin family village.

Anyway, no matter how you do it, the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

After arriving at Qinjia Village, Qin Tian immediately chose a piece of land, and said to Qin Wu: "Build me a big printing factory here, and let your father recruit another hundred or so workers. You must be quick, understand ?"

Qin Tian told Qin Wu about the situation of the printing factory, including the size and specifications of the printing factory, and what things needed to be prepared.

In fact, these preparations are not too many, it is a place for workers to print, of course, everything must be in order.

Qin Wu quickly responded after listening.

"Don't worry, these are all fine."

"Okay, after the printing factory is built, the printing will start, but the printed paper doesn't need to be too big, it just needs to be the size of your face. When the time comes, the printed paper will be bound with thread..."

For a long time, the books of Tang Dynasty are actually rolled up and read on a piece of paper. If this is the case, it is troublesome to read, and it is also troublesome to collect, which is very different from the reading situation of later generations.

Qin Tian thought, since he wanted to open a bookstore, he might as well change the style of the books.

After giving such instructions, Qin Wu began to get busy. As long as he has money, these things are not a problem, and there is no problem in getting them done within a month.
-
Qin Tian started to set up printing factories and bookstores in a hurry.

And many people in Chang'an have heard some news more or less.

The Ninth Princess also heard something here.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Qin Xiaohou is free."

Hearing that Qin Tian was free, Princess Jiu was a little surprised, because it was so sudden. Before that, Qin Tian invented abacus and clairvoyance, but he failed to get free. Why is he free now?
"what happened?"

"Young Master helped Cheng Chumo and the others to cheat and invented movable type printing. This thing was printed very quickly. As soon as the Holy One liked it, he let him go."

"Movable type printing?" Ninth Princess was a little shocked. She didn't expect Qin Tian to invent another thing. In the short month of being grounded, he really hasn't been idle at all.

However, since Qin Tian was able to gain freedom, she felt that this movable type printing technique must be very powerful, otherwise how could Li Shimin let him go?
"However, His Majesty also made a request to Qin Tian, ​​asking Qin Tian to open a bookstore in Chang'an City. Qin Tian agreed, and now he is building a printing factory and bookstore. By then, the books in Chang'an will be cheaper."

Princess Nine's expression moved slightly, and then she understood a little bit. If the cost of a book is lowered, then the price of the book will naturally be lowered.

The price of books is low, and more people can afford to read them, so the power in the court will inevitably change.

Li Shimin wanted to do this very much, but the court was not good at competing for profits with the people. With such a large bookstore opened, other bookstores in Chang'an City would definitely have no business.

In this way, Qin Tian can only do it. As for making money or not, the Ninth Princess doesn't care. With Qin Tian's ingenuity, it seems impossible not to make money.

After hearing the news, Princess Nine gave a faint smile, and was relieved all of a sudden.

Su House.

When Su Dingfang heard that Li Shimin had released Qin Tian, ​​he was immediately furious.

"Damn, hate..."

His son was still desperately copying the Four Books and Five Classics at home, but Qin Tian helped Cheng Chumo and the others to cheat, not only let Cheng Chumo and the others get him, but he himself was also free.

This is simply unreasonable, Li Shimin is too partial.

"Qin Tian, ​​don't let me seize the opportunity, or I will make you regret it, and I will make your death ugly."

Su Dingfang cursed Qin Tian at the mansion, but at the same time, he also began to ask people to find a way to obtain movable type printing. After all, his son was still writing at home. Grounded for a long time.
