Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 326 Don't Panic, Gentlemen, Someone Has a Plan (Second Update)

"...How could the officials do this and let the Kaifeng Commercial Press make a lot of money, while we can only watch?"

"That is, why do they take up such a good thing, we can't even drink the soup."

"My lords, since the Kaifeng Commercial Press can legally deal with the Liao Kingdom, we should be able to do so too."

"Are you trying to kill yourself? Who is standing behind the Kaifeng metal workshop? Don't you understand now?"

"Of course I understand, but they can't be too unreasonable. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and blocking people's future is like a prostitute's wife and daughter..."

"Hey, what a novel statement, the old man has lived for such a long time and didn't know that there is another sentence behind it."

"My lords, is our topic off track? What should we do now, should we just watch and do nothing?"

"Wait a moment, gentlemen, I have a plan..."

"It's already this time, do you still have the mind to drag the text?"

A group of ministers and workers, under the pressure of the three silent but powerful ministers with natural coercion, only dared to whisper in a low voice.

But soon, a servant stood up and bowed respectfully to the official who thought he had a chance to win, and he had done a serious thing for his lover.

Zhao Ji, the official, was slightly startled, and asked in a pleasant manner.

"What's the matter Yu Qing?"

"The officials and ministers think that since the Kaifeng Commercial Press is capable of undertaking the heavy burden of book trade with the Liao Kingdom."

"Presumably the scale and capabilities of this printing house are far superior to many folk printing workshops..."

"The officials must also know that every year, many government schools will recruit talented people of considerable scale to study..."

The official Zhao Ji listened blankly to this Yu Shilang's eloquence, and soon, he tasted it...

#####
Gao Zhang had just returned home, before he had time to put himself on the bed to catch his breath, Master Zhao Ji sent a messenger to let him into the palace.

In desperation, Gao Zhang could only smile on his face, and followed the messenger to the palace frantically in his heart.

When Gao Zhang followed the eunuch to the depths of the palace, Master Zhao Ji's study.

I saw Master Zhao Ji, who was stroking the dog with a stinky face at the moment.

Well, with a dark face, his big hands were unconsciously stroking the roaring dog's head.

Xiaotian squinted his eyes, as long as the big hand moved, the tail would immediately wag, and neither the hand nor the tail moved.

As for that Yang Jian, at the moment he was in a timid posture, standing on one side, bowing his head, a typical image of a doormat.

Until he heard footsteps coming from outside the study, and saw Gao Zhang appearing at the door of the study.

Only then did Yang Jian breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly walked towards Gao Zhang.

And Zhao Ji, the official who saw his lover Gao Zhang, finally stood up with a smile on his face.

Xiaotian also got up quickly, put his ears back together, and flicked his tail to catch up with the propeller.

"The disciple has met the master, but I don't know what the master ordered the disciple to come here?"

After Gao Zhang bowed obediently to the official Zhao Ji, he took the initiative to ask sensiblely.

"Well, my teacher originally thought that it would not be difficult to entrust Kaifeng Commercial Press with the matter of book trade with the Liao Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the gang of ministers found another way, intending to embarrass..."

Speaking of this, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help but sighed tiredly, if it wasn't because this matter involved his beloved disciple.

Maybe he just loves whoever he likes, and just let Cai Jing go to fight those courtiers.

But this is Xiao Gao's business, as a master, how can he not shield his beloved disciple from the wind and rain.

But the problem is, the trump card thrown out by those ministers made him, the versatile emperor of the Song Dynasty, also baffled.

#####
That is, not long after Gao Zhang and others left, some officials jumped out and said.

Since the Kaifeng Commercial Press has the ability to win big business, the important task of supplying books to government schools in various places should also be entrusted to them.

After all, the books used by many official schools in the Song Dynasty will be apportioned to the printing houses every time new students are recruited.

Now that Kaifeng Commercial Press has made money, shouldn't they also give back to the court and the society?

Every year, the demand for all kinds of books in Song Dynasty reaches [-] to [-] sets.

In the past, it was all distributed by bookstores all over the world, purchasing from bookstores at prices lower than the market.

Even though there is a high demand for this type of books, they are purchased by the government at a price close to the cost, and some officials have to ask for it.

As a result, bookstores often do not make money from printing such books, and may even post money.

However, if such books are smuggled to Liao, Xixia, or some other country such as Koryo or Wa, they will definitely earn several times the price.

In a word, if the Commercial Press wants to do a unique legal business, then you will be responsible for these printing workshops in various places.

And you have to do it on time and according to the quantity. If the Kaifeng Commercial Press can't handle it, then you don't want to do exclusive business.

Gao Zhang's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard the worried, faint-hearted master chattering in front of him.

After talking about the changes that happened when Gao Zhang and others left the Chui Gong Palace, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help sighing again.

"In this way, even as a teacher, I find it very difficult..."

#####
"For the matter of the disciple, it is really the fault of the disciple that the master is so weeping and weeping blood, having trouble sleeping and eating..."

Gao Zhang's eyes turned red immediately, he bowed down to the Hunjun and Shizun, and choked up his voice.

"Since I am your teacher, I naturally want to plan for you, but this matter..."

"Master, my Great Song Dynasty advocates the rule of literature, and the talented people in the world are thirsty for knowledge and need books. This is a good thing.

Please rest assured, as long as you can share the worries of the court and the master, this is what the disciples want.

No matter how difficult it is, the disciple will urge the Kaifeng Commercial Press to try to complete it.

To help the many official schools opened by the imperial court, so that everyone who enters the school can have books to read, so as to promote the prosperity of our great Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Ji helped Gao Zhang up immediately, and patted his shoulders with his big hands. After a long time, he managed to control his agitation.

"To have a good student like you as a teacher is truly a worthwhile life. It's just that you can really do it?"

"Xiao Gao, can you really do it? Do you know that when I start all schools, it's the first lunar month when the farming affairs have not yet begun."

"And in previous years, it was mostly at this time that the apportionment to the bookstores began. In mid-December, the purchase must be completed, so that the imperial court can distribute it to the official schools..."

"If there are thousands of books, I think it should not be difficult for the teacher, but this is at least [-] to [-] books, which is by no means easy."

"..."
