Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 343 Do you two want to spend money to buy a good reputation? (Three thousand words are presented)
"You two, I am looking for you today because there is indeed an important matter."

"Dare to ask you two, do you want fame?"

Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng turned their heads to look at Gao Zhang just after sitting down and picking up their chopsticks.

Cai Laoliu slapped his chopsticks directly on the table, and just spit out the word nonsense, when he saw the brother's eyes that suddenly became vicious, he was instantly cowardly.

"Nonsense, who doesn't want to... Mmm, junior brother, I really want to gain a good reputation."

Tong Zhisheng glanced at Cai Laoliu with disgust, and asked Gao Zhang eagerly.

"Reputation, for the Sa family, naturally, the more the better, Brother Guizhang, do you have any brilliant ideas, come quickly."

Gao Zhang chuckled, first raised his neck, drained the juice in the cup in one gulp, like drinking fine wine, and then said to the two crouching dragon and phoenix youngsters with black lines on their faces.

"For example, let you spend thousands of pennies in exchange for a good reputation that scholars all over the world give you thumbs up and praise you, are you willing?"

"Thousands of sticks?!" Cai Laoliu exclaimed directly, which shocked Gao Zhang.

I saw that Cai Laoliu moved his back frequently, squeezed closer, and looked at Gao Zhang with bright eyes.

"Really?"

"Nonsense, if you don't believe me, just go back where you came from."

Hearing this threatening word, Cai Laoliu not only didn't feel insulted, but was greatly encouraged. After all, this ruthless senior brother really does everything well.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand to grab Gao Zhang's arm, and asked sincerely.

"Brother, just tell me, how much is it, and who is it going to be?"

"Yes, don't say a few thousand, even if it is tens of thousands, the Sajia can afford it now."

"Since the two of you also think that fame is more important than money, then there is really one who spends money to..."

Gao Zhang hadn't finished talking with his accent when he was interrupted by the impatient Tong Zhisheng, that vulgar martial artist.

"But brother Guizhang, you don't want to be a fool, tell me quickly, how did you buy fame?"

Seeing that these two bastards have become more and more superstitious about themselves now, and they can't even use the bunch of deceptive and inducing words they prepared, this makes Gao Zhang feel a little bit uninterested in the lack of foreplay.

But facing the attitude of this pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes who wanted to pinch their own necks, Gao Zhang could only speed up the pace.

"It's very simple, we have almost finished printing the books for the imperial court.

I just thought, just give these hundreds of thousands of books to the imperial court for nothing..."

"Brother, wait a minute, a hundred thousand books, only a few thousand?!"

Cai Laoliu immediately puffed up his eyeballs, and shouted in disbelief.

"I bought a book before, and it cost a total of five guan, a hundred thousand copies, how could it be only a few thousand guan?"

Hearing Cai Laoliu's words, Gao Zhang was equally astonished.

"Wait a minute, what kind of book did you buy that actually cost five pennies?"

Seeing Gao Zhang and Tong Zhisheng's four eyeballs falling on him at the same time, Cai Laoliu, who wanted to slap his mouth that was so fast over his head, could only squeak.

"Uh...it's a very serious book, and I'm taking it for study."

"Your Lao Cai's family has so many books, and you go to the secret pavilion to study all day long. What other books do you need to buy with your own money? Or buy serious books?"

Gao Zhang mercilessly exposed Cai Laoliu's lies directly.

"Orphan, really an orphan, a very serious one..."

"Then let me ask you, do you know how much a book generally sells on the market?"

"..." Cai Laoliu shook his head in shame. I just bought unscrupulous ones, so how do I know how much the decent ones sell for?

Cai's unicorn, how could he ask those book sellers such low-level questions?

As for Tong Zhisheng, he raised his chin, and the last stubbornness of the vulgar warrior was engraved on his face.

"The Sa family really doesn't know. Anyway, the Sa family will read if they have books, and if they don't have books, they won't read."

Gao Zhang had black lines on his face, and he restrained himself to explain to the two.

For a book on the market, materials such as paper, palm, ink, paste, craftsmen, and engraving blocks are not cheap. A set of engraving blocks can only be used by craftsmen in turn, printing one by one.

Therefore, the cost is really not low. A book of about three to five thousand words costs about 160 five liters.

But I'm sorry, the price of the bookstore is generally around the same.

But the problem is that the Kaifeng Commercial Press has adopted movable lead type printing, and the engraving fee, which is very important, has almost disappeared.

In addition, the use of hydraulic mechanical printing greatly speeds up the printing speed, and the use of Song style characters.

Reduce the thickness of strokes, but still maintain the advantages of clear strokes and strong sense of font stability.

So even if the font is made smaller, it will not affect the reader's reading experience.

In this way, the number of words that can be printed on each book is almost three-fifths more.

Another advantage is saving ink. In short, both labor cost and material cost have been excellently optimized.

"... After cost calculation, a book with a word count of [-] to [-] words, including the cost of labor and materials, is less than [-] yuan."

"We have printed more than 17 volumes of books for the official school of the imperial court. Do your own calculations, how much money will it cost?"

"It's really not even [-] guan..."

"Do it, if you do it, donate. I think Cai, I am a scholar after all, and I was born as a Jinshi.

Since I can spend such a little money, it can benefit countless people who are thirsty for knowledge in Song Dynasty..."

Seeing Cai Laoliu standing up, his face was flushed and he began to talk, as if he was the spokesperson of the combination of Gao Zhang and the sons of the power eunuch and treacherous minister who stood above the court at the moment.

Gao Zhang's face darkened, and he pulled the fat man.

"Can you shut up first, listen to me, although we print books cheaply, but this is our commercial secret after all."

"So, what is our cost, we must not disclose it."

Hearing Gao Zhang's words, and considering whether his net worth could increase rapidly, Tong Zhisheng nodded in agreement, aimed at Gao Zhang with the word "Li", and at Cai Laoliu with the word "De", with a complacent expression on his face typical.

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to leak a single word, the Sa family dares to beat him to death."

"Your hand is in the wrong place, it should be here."

Gao Zhang raised his hand with a black face and pulled the fist that was almost as big as his own face aside.

He really deserves to be a warrior who never uses his brain when doing things, vulgar!

"???" Cai Laoliu looked at the two sandbag-sized fists in front of his nose, angry and scared, Nima, can you respect me?

If you want to donate books to government schools, and if you want to gain great prestige, you must first advertise, or at least let the students of Bianliang School in Tokyo know about it.

What's more, it is necessary for officials and schools all over the world to understand that they can get free books, all of which stem from the generous student aid from the Kaifeng Commercial Press of the Great Song Dynasty.

How to advertise this has naturally become the next most important issue for the Big Three.

First of all, let the news spread that the Kaifeng Commercial Press has taken over the official books, and also spread the news that the Kaifeng Commercial Press wants to help students.

As for how to spread it, hehe, the unscrupulous business place of Fan Lou is an important base for the distribution of various high-end rumors in Song Dynasty.

All in all, Gao Zhang, Cai Laoliu, and Tong Zhisheng saw that the poor scholars of the Song Dynasty either borrowed or copied books because of poverty.

In order to allow those young talents to learn more knowledge, the imperial court specially established a large number of official schools.

However, due to insufficient funds, government schools in various places often cannot make ends meet, and even some students, only a few bachelors, share a set of books from time to time.

This made Gao Zhang, Na Cai, and Tong deeply feel the difficulty of running a school for the imperial court, and they were also deeply touched by the imperial court's willingness to spend huge sums of money to subsidize young talents to learn knowledge and culture.

In the end, the three decided to spend their own money to buy the hundreds of thousands of books printed by the Kaifeng Commercial Press for the Song court.

Donate to the imperial court free of charge to help the official schools established by the imperial court, so that those countless poor reading seeds can freely swim in the ocean of knowledge.

Yes, the books have not been donated yet, but the news that the three of them have jointly spent a huge sum of money to buy the hundreds of thousands of books and plan to donate them to the imperial court has already started to spread in Bianliang, Tokyo.

This made the treacherous Prime Minister Cai Jing stunned for a long time in the study, and then decided to send someone to catch Lao Liu and ask this prodigal son personally.

To spend such a huge amount of money for a mere reputation, being an old man is greedy, bah, did the money of being an old man come for nothing?

The tragic incident of father-son cannibalism often happens in the Cai Mansion, but it only happens in the Cai Mansion.

Like Lao Gao's family, it is obvious that the father is kind and the son is filial, and the family is harmonious and united.

The father and son play ball in their free time. It can be said that Gao Zhang is quite talented in playing ball.

Of course, no matter what kind of ball it is, Gao Zhang knows how to play it, and he dare not say how good he is, but he dares to say that he has dabbled in all the hundred ways of playing the ball in later generations.

Just because Da Song likes to use their feet doesn't mean they can't use their hands.

Just like today, Gao Zhang is playing a shooting game with his father, of course Gao Zhang shoots, and his father Gao Qiu guards the goal.

After all, he was still a child, if he stood in front of the door, Gao Zhang would have no choice but to lose because of his father's ability to point and beat him.

However, these days, under the guidance of his own father, Gao Zhang's footwork has definitely improved by leaps and bounds.

Even Gao Zhang couldn't kick any deciduous balls or curved balls before crossing.

As long as Gao Zhang can describe it, it only takes a few days for his own father, Gao Lian, to really achieve a similar effect.

This made Gao Zhang also have to admit that his father didn't play ball, and he was really sorry for his talent.

There were more than 20 shots in a row, except for a few that my father deliberately put water in, and the rest were all rejected by my father.

Gao Zhang, who was covered in sweat from kicking, went back to the house with his father, sat in front of the stove and started wiping his sweat, Gao Qiu finally had a serious chat.

PS: Keep working hard tomorrow
