Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

It is different from Meng Jiao's fierce start, and then it will be different day by day.

Li Chong's novel is obviously of the long-lasting type, and it is of the type that will become stronger in the follow-up.

The time has come to the end of the year.

Most of the officials of the DPRK and China have also started the finishing work of the statistics at the end of the year.

Li Chong took it for granted, but he was not so busy at this time.

At the age of 27, Luo Shen came to report to Li Chong, "Sold another two thousand copies."

Li Chong also replied: "Okay! From dozens at the beginning, to hundreds, to now two thousand. Father-in-law has bothered."

Luo Shen: "I'm just doing my duty well."

Li Chong: "How much money did you earn in total? Just mine."

Luo Shen lowered his head and replied, "At present, there are about [-] to [-] Wen in total."

Li Chong said: "Well... then you take half, and then share the remaining half with other people in the library. After all... this year has been hard, so use it to buy a few catties of mutton."

Luo Shen: "Your Highness...how good is this."

Li Chong: "I know, if you didn't try your best to recommend it to others, and the people in Luoyang Library, who strongly recommend it to others, wouldn't be able to sell so much."

"I was a little blind and arrogant. I didn't consider that this was originally a novel for women."

"I don't know how the literacy status of women in my Tang Dynasty is. I hope it will sell better in the future."

Luo Shen: "Actually, many people haven't seen the value of His Highness's book."

Li Chong: "You understand?"

Luo Shen: "I don't dare to speak nonsense. But I think that in the future, there will be someone who understands His Highness's good intentions."

Li Chong: "I do have a little bit of hard work, but it's not good enough."

"Ah~"

Immediately, Li Chong sighed.

Luo Shen didn't know why Li Zhong sighed.

I saw Li Zhong continue to say: "Another year has passed, and my highness will be 12 years old soon."

Luo Shen could only say that he was very confused...

Isn't it bad to be 12 years old?

can't read!
Luo Shen shook his head, really not understanding.

Then Li Zhong said again: "Since you can't sell it, then you do this!"

Then...

Li Chong pointed out to him again.

then……

Luo Shen did it.

Since it is difficult for people to find it interesting in terms of writing, it is easy to get headaches when it is full of things in women's boudoirs.

Then let's change our publicity strategy.

Put up some big promotional posters in the Luoyang Library, as well as some key stations in the football city.

Li Chong didn't believe it.

Women don't buy it out of curiosity after reading it.

In fact, Li Chong had already drawn the promotional drawings for this poster.

future……

Li Chong's plan is to turn the football city into a publicity sign.

Anything new can be seen in the football city.

For example...

If there is a comic, then...

The waiting area of ​​this station, the billboard on the side of the road.

Just replace them with posters of this comic.

originally……

Regarding this matter, Li Chong was not in a hurry.

Now...

It seems that the best way to promote it is this.

Year 28.

The football city, the entrance of the Luoyang library, and some places that could be used as bulletin boards were quickly replaced with posters prepared by Li Chong.

really!

After this was replaced, the effect came immediately.

Take the Football City as an example. It is already home to a lot of wealthy households.

There must be little ladies in these wealthy households.

The little lady was immediately attracted by the publicity.

After inquiring, I found out what was going on.

The essential……

The bulletin board also said that this is the most suitable novel for women to read.

This little lady read the slogan, so she had to buy a copy to read it.

even……

Someone else asked, what is this novel?
After all, Li Zhong was the first to use the word novel.

Luoshen here...

He also took the initiative to bring all the books to the football city to sell.

As a result, almost one thousand copies were sold in just one day's work.

The main words...

The people living here at this time are all rich people, not short of that little money at all.

When your family has too much money to spend at all.

then……

I saw it again on the road...

'A novel most suitable for women. '

'A must for daily pastime! '

'One volume only costs 450 words. '

Just words like this are enough to attract many people.

of course!

In fact, the price of 450 Wen is still a bit high.

But it must be high for a reason.

after all……

This is Datang's first online novel.

and……

The emotions of the characters in it are written extremely delicately.

Beyond the level of general web novels.

This book contains 450 articles in one volume and is divided into twenty volumes in total.

If you buy them all, it will be [-] yuan.

Don't look at why Li Chong is so cheating, and he sold it in twenty volumes.

The main words...

In fact, it is limited by technology.

It is impossible to print only one copy of a novel with more than 120 million words. If only one copy is really printed, how thick is the book.

and……

There are at least [-] words in one volume, which is actually quite a lot.

To know……

Bai Juyi's collection of poems "Changqing Collection" has a total of 840 poems, which are divided into 75 volumes for sale, which is too much.

In other words, fifty pages of Bai Juyi's poetry anthology were sold as one volume.

And the price is not lower than Li Chong's "Knowledge".

For Li Chong, at least four to five hundred words per page, and this book feels thick to the touch.

Gives a feeling of great value for money.

even……

In order to better cope with the printing of these million-word books in the future, the Ministry of Culture has already begun to develop in the direction of micro-carving.

Anyway.

This book sold 450 articles, so it is not a rip-off.

On the contrary, Li Chong was at a loss.

of course!

These 450 articles, for ordinary people, can only be said to be a bit much.

If it was to buy mutton instead, it would be enough to buy at least three or four catties of mutton.

Although now...

Yes!
That's right!

Datang's productivity has increased.

But one thing to say, not everyone can afford mutton, pork, etc., mainly because they can afford every meal.

100 years ago, when Li Chong was about to die, Datang carried out a reform on the salaries of officials.

The main changes are...

Originally, the salary was paid together with the salary, and the salary was money. Ninth-rank officials, county magistrates, and county lieutenants, etc., had about [-] yuan a month, and Lumi, which was almost two hundred shi a year, was converted into copper coins. , It’s about one to twenty thousand texts.

It mainly depends on the price of rice at that time.

Doing so has two advantages.

The first benefit!
With such a change, in the future, the court will only need to send money directly.

Easy!
the second.

It is the price of rice that reflects the quality of life of the people and makes officials more concerned about the food and drink of the people.

originally……

When there is Lumifa, the officials can be said to not care whether the people have enough to eat or not.

Because the price of rice is high or not, it has nothing to do with them. Anyway, they must be able to guarantee their harvest in drought and flood.

The imperial court will certainly not pay less money and food that belong to them.

now what……

With such a change, officials will keep an eye on the price of rice every day.

Because they also eat rice, and they also buy rice every day.

If the price of rice is too high, they will not be able to live on.

Through this...

It also achieves the goal of making all officials care about the survival of ordinary people.

and so……

Don't look at the officials of the Tang Dynasty now, it seems that the salaries are quite high, even the ninth-rank officials have fifty or sixty thousand yuan a month, in fact...

If the price of rice rises, or if some natural or man-made disaster occurs.

Let's just say they couldn't stand it either.

I won't say much about these.

Anyway...

Things like books, indeed!

Basically, rich people still have to pay for it.

……

Year 29.

basically……

It's also the last day of duty.

this day……

The work is relatively easy.

As Li Zhong said, he summoned everyone and held a meeting. First, he summarized the results of the year. First, Luoyang Library finally had income.

and……

Meng Jiao's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still selling well.

So much so that others couldn't help but feel a little jealous, after all...

Does Meng Jiao belong to the category of being an official, taking the salary of the court, and making private money for himself?

If you can……

Then they want to do the same.

even if……

They also don't know if they have that talent.

Immediately after...

Luo Weiyun's performance is not bad in the second half of the year.

Has compiled more than thirty pieces of music.

of course!

Among them, at least seven or eight are the scores given by Li Chong.

but……

It can be regarded as their achievement.

and!

In the football city, he sang "Three Kingdoms" once, which aroused discussions among many people in Luoyang City, and formed a heated discussion within a certain range.

This is a very good result.

At last……

It was Li Zixing and Li Shi.

It can only be said that Li Zixing and Li Shi have done a very good job.

First of all!

The land is taken back.

then……

A model room was also built out of the house.

Li Chong felt...

In addition to the fact that the cost may be a little higher, next, they also need to reduce the cost. It is estimated that the house can be sold in a short time.

In addition...

Zhou Ze here.

During these two months, Li Chong also asked him to train the new army.

A total of 120 people, can only say...

Now it can be regarded as having been selected.

of course!

For this, Li Chong was not in a hurry.

Anyway...

Let Zhou Ze take it first.

Apart from that...

On Zhou Ze's side, he also began to write his travel notes to the Western Regions.

When Li Zhong arrived on this day, he also reminded Zhou Ze that it was time to show him.

During the Xiaochao meeting, Li Chong also casually asked Zhou Ze whether he understood the words of those people from the Western Regions.

For example: what to say when eating.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ze really understood something.

But it was far from what Li Chong remembered.

but……

It can only be said that it is normal.

after all……

This English, it must also have a process of development.

not to mention……

Maybe Zhou Ze learned a certain local dialect of other people's English, so the difference is probably even more.

Regardless of that.

After the small court meeting, the next thing is to wait for the afternoon holiday.

As for this year's Lantern Festival, are there any arrangements...

this……

Li Zhong will talk to Li Zixing and Li Shi alone.

The main words...

It was on this Lantern Festival that Li Chong thought that a concert could be held.

As for who you asked to sing and what song to sing.

can only say……

You can discuss it with the singer in the city or something.

It is estimated that the money for inviting the singer is still not saved.

but……

At least they have Si Si here now, and Si Si's money can be saved.

The time is set at about Shangshu time on the night of Shangyuan.

If you are free...

Then Li Chong would probably come to the scene to take a look.

Li Zixing and Li Shi also understood.

only……

The duo also had a problem.

That is……

Do you want to start collecting tickets this year, and how much are the tickets?

Also, if it's just for one game, it feels a bit of a loss.

Can it be played several times in a row?
Li Chong: "You mean, it's not just opened on the night of Shangyuan?"

The two replied: "The main reason is that there can only be a maximum of [-] to [-] spectators, but there are more than one million people in Luoyang City."

"Many people want to watch it. We can't let only [-] to [-] viewers finish watching it, and stop those who want to watch it, right?"

Li Chong listened to what the two said.

It feels like it makes sense too!
This is actually why it is said in the history books that every festival, the performances in the city will last for several days.

It's not that these shows are so exciting that it takes a few days to complete the show.

But...

It takes a few days to perform, and only the people in the city want to see it, and everyone can have the opportunity to see it.

Li Chong: "Do you have confidence? People are willing to pay for tickets?"

Li Shi also said: "We can lower the price."

Li Chong: "Then how much do you plan to order?"

Li Shi: "One hundred Wen."

Li Chong: "One hundred Wen... that's almost a day's income for an ordinary family."

in fact……

It is not a big problem for ordinary families to eat, especially rice.

There is not even as much pressure as some officials have to eat rice.

Because the people are almost in every household, no matter how he sells the land, he will definitely leave a few acres of good land, and then grow food for himself to eat.

only……

It is okay for the common people to eat rice, but it is a bit difficult to eat better.

You say you want to eat meat.

You have to go to the city to work and earn money to buy meat.

otherwise……

Exchanging grain for meat is actually a very bad business.

Think of this...

Li Chong also said: "One hundred Wen is too much, eighty. Half price for children."

Li Zixing: "..."

Li Shi: "..."

The two of them had nothing to do with Li Zhong.

Li Shi finally said: "Then follow what Your Highness said."

Finished!

When the two left, Li Zixing complained about Li Chong: "Your Highness is really a money-scattering boy."

indeed!

According to their current situation, it is estimated that it will take at least two or three years, or even three or five years, to return the capital.

In fact, from the point of view of Li Zixing and Li Shi, a hundred essays is probably acceptable to many people.

after all……

They didn't mean two hundred wen. If it was two hundred wen, then there must be many poor people who need to think about it. (end of this chapter)
