The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 563
The reason why the dude is called the dude is that face is more important than anything else, and when Cheng Chumo yelled, no one else could refuse.

Li Muyun could only smile helplessly at such a result, he knew that Cheng Chumo was helping him, but the result was somewhat different from his own thoughts.

But forget it, since things are already like this, don't say anything, just go to the next step.

In the following time, Li Muyun delivered another passionate speech, expressing his gratitude to all the dandies for the reception banquet, and agreed to gather at his house three days later to discuss plans to make a fortune.

The dandies expressed their sincere admiration for Li Muyun's loyalty in various ways, felt that the trip was worthwhile, and promised that they would bring money to his home to support his "book selling" plan three days later.

That night, His Majesty Li Er, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, received a tip. He frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how Li Muyun was going to make money by selling books.

Changsun Wuji also couldn't figure it out, but his purpose of coming to find Li Er had nothing to do with Li Muyun. The reason why he mentioned this was just an introduction. After talking for a while, he turned the topic to the steel factory: "Your Majesty , What are your plans for this steel factory? I heard that Prince Xiaoyao intends to withdraw from this industry completely."

"This kid is a smart man. He knows that I won't keep the steel business in his hands forever. It's not surprising that I hand it over, but..." Li Shimin suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and glanced at Changsun Wuji: "I plan to I don't know what your plan is to leave this steel plant to you to take care of?"

Changsun Wuji had already prepared for this, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "Your Majesty, I plan to expand the scale of the steel factory to at least four times the size of the previous one, so that more people can be placed to work, and secondly, it can Provide more raw materials for the general supervisor.”

"Well, that's okay." Li Shimin nodded, and then asked: "Then do you know why I handed over this steel plant to your hands?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment. According to his understanding, the iron and steel business was originally owned by the Changsun family. It is reasonable to take care of the Changsun family with new technology, but now that Li Er has asked this question, obviously the main reason is not because Nepotism.

Seeing that the elder Sun Wuji was silent, Li Er got up and walked around the room: "I don't want anyone other than Datang to know the formula and information of this craft, do you understand?"

"No, I understand!" Changsun Wuji, who is so smart, understood Li Er's meaning almost instantly.

If things are in private hands, the craftsmanship and recipes are personal. If someone wants to learn, I'm sorry, even if they find Li Er.

But if the things are in Jiang Zuo Jian, then some outsiders, such as Dongying, such as Goguryeo, can go to Jiang Zuo Jian in the name of communication to learn these things secretly.

On the surface, although Li Er acted indifferent and generous to the extreme, but some things should be kept secret or kept secret, it's just that this black disaster needs some people to bear it.

Of course, from the perspective of outsiders, Li Er handed over the business to Zhangsun Wuji because he took care of his uncle, and they never thought that he was doing it to better keep secrets.

As for whether Changsun Wuji will really keep the secret, there is no doubt about it, because if he wants to close the steel business, he must not let his craft and formula leak out, otherwise everyone in the Tang Dynasty will know everything. It will not be worth money, and the eldest grandson's family is tantamount to giving away the money.

As for the ownership of the settled steel business, Changsun Wuji bid farewell to Li Er and left. After returning to the mansion, he called Changsun Chong to the study room and inquired about Li Muyun's performance today in detail, and he never let go of every word he said. .

"Father, what do you think this Li Muyun is going to do? Is he really going to sell books?" Chang Sun Chong had already learned everything Li Muyun said at the wine table when he returned home in the afternoon. , I also had doubts in my heart, so I couldn't help asking.

"This man's behavior is unfathomable and unreasonable. As a father, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd. You need to be cautious when you go to his house three days later." Changsun Wuji didn't answer his son's question directly, but A word of caution.

It was the first time that Chang Sun Chong saw something that his father didn't understand, he hesitated and said, "Father, why don't you go?"

"No, let's go!" Changsun Wuji categorically denied his son's proposal: "Li Muyun is a very smart person, such a person would never do stupid things, so even if there is no benefit to this matter, at least there is no harm to it, so we should Go or go."

"But..." Changsun Chong still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Changsun Wuji: "It's only a hundred pennies, my eldest grandson's family can still afford it, but you go and talk less, don't express your opinion easily."

"No, my child remembers." Zhang Sun Chong nodded heavily.

With the old man's support, the hundred copper coins will come from the family, and Chang Sun Chong will naturally not object.

The same conversation also happened in several other companies, and the opinions of the several DPRK and Chinese bigwigs were basically the same. Even if there was no benefit, there would be no harm in the end.

Naturally, Li Muyun didn't know what the other families were thinking, and was trying to remember the way of making paper at this moment.

The price of Datang's paper is ridiculously high due to the craftsmanship. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary wealthy households dare not use it for fun.

And as long as the paper problem is solved, movable type printing is not a problem.

With cheap paper and movable type printing, the price of books will naturally come down. At that time, small profits but quick turnover, as long as no one else masters the method of papermaking, he can continue to make this money.

As for the disclosure of papermaking and movable type printing... I'm sorry, Li Muyun is not so magnanimous, and he will never disclose it until he has earned enough gold to bury himself.

Li Muyun is not the kind of person who works for the public. In some respects, he is even selfish. If it wasn't for the fact that the backstage wasn't strong enough and he was worried about being jealous, he wouldn't even plan to play with those dudes. A large part of the benefits.

Su Wanqing was standing behind Li Muyun, she had lost a lot of weight after not seeing this girl for a few days, she felt a little sad that she didn't keep the property in Shuozhou.

Fortunately, Li Muyun didn't say anything, just comforted her not to worry about this matter, and then plunged into the pile of old papers and worked hard.
