I'm so hard

Chapter 231 Thirty Thousand Volumes of Essential Books

The next day, Zhao Yan issued an imperial decree.

Order Pan Wenyue, the magistrate of Shuzhou, to draw up the results of Shuzhou's one-year new policy, and choose a day to go to Beijing to report, and will announce the results to the world.

At the same time, Zhao Yan also sent several officials from Zhongshu Province who were good at actuarial calculations to Shuzhou to assist Pan Wenyue.

This achievement is to reassure the people of the whole Dazhou, to make the civil and military officials and those big businessmen completely believe in the benefits of the New Deal, and to let the surrounding countries see what the Great Zhou will do after the New Deal. What will it look like.

Naturally, Pan Wenyue knew the importance of this achievement, and immediately submitted a memorial, saying that he would go to Beijing to report the results of the Shuzhou New Deal in one month.

Another day, Northern Mondatu.

In the center of the busiest street in Datu State, there is a four-story library named Daqing Library.

This library is the largest library opened by Liu Qing in Northern Mongolia, and these days, Da Zhou's books are selling like crazy.

Except for some dialects that they do not understand, Northern Mongolia and Dazhou both speak Chinese, so knowledge can be easily integrated.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Northern Mongolia is even greater. Although there are not many literate people, those wealthy nobles admire Ergu very much, so under Ergu's decree, they began to buy books like crazy.

At this moment, Liu Qing was drinking tea in the back hall of the Northern Mongolian Library, when the shopkeeper ran over excitedly and said, "Master, a rich businessman from Northern Mongolian wants to buy [-] books from us. This is his bibliography. He said he must see You will buy it."

"Thirty thousand copies? This is not a small sum."

Liu Qing stood up quickly, then took the bibliography entry, and took a closer look. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, the bibliography included the Spring and Autumn Guliang Biography, Baopuzi, Shipin, Mr. Yiwen's Collected Works, Beito Yinghualu, etc.

These books are relatively common books on the market, and Liu Qing has copies of these books, so they can be printed very quickly, not to mention that he has a lot of stocks.

"Go, go out and meet him." Liu Qing said.

A moment later, Liu Qing and a middle-aged man with a beard appeared in a private room.

The bearded middle-aged man cast a contemptuous glance at Liu Qing, and said, "I'm Xilatwu, and I heard that you are the biggest businessman in Northern Mongolia."

Xilatwu, the richest businessman in Datu State, has some blood relationship with Ergu, so he is very noble in Northern Mongolia, and he has tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, which is very important in Datu State and fame.

"I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time. Compared with Mr. Xilatwu, my business is far behind!" Liu Qing said with a smile.

With a hint of pride on his face, Sirat said, "You have already read the bibliography just now. After half a month, you must transport all these books to my warehouse!"

Liu Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Half a month is fine, but how do I pay the deposit?"

"Deposit? I have been in business for so many years, and I have never paid any deposit. As long as your books are shipped to my warehouse, I can give you all the money after I count the amount!"

"This... this... seems a bit inappropriate!" Liu Qing said with some embarrassment, doing business like this did not conform to his previous rules.

"Isn't it right? Are you going to do it or not? If you don't do it, someone must do it!" Xilatwu stood up immediately.

Liu Qing thought for a while, and said, "Do it, do it, half a month later, pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand."

"Okay, on that day, you can just pull the books here." Xilatwu put down a note, and then strode outside.

Liu Qinghe and the shopkeeper at the counter sent him to the gate, and then watched him disappear into the distance in a carriage.

Liu Qing has always been very polite to his merchants.

"Boss, what if they don't keep their promises after we pull the books over and swallow our books by stealing them? Xilatwu's reputation in Datu state is not very good." The counter shopkeeper said a little said worriedly.

Liu Qing waved his hand at him and said, "Treasurer Bai, you don't need to think too much, now we have the support of the Great Zhou court, and Beimeng is not my opponent, if he dares to swallow this book privately, Your Majesty will definitely let these people eat and walk around."

"I hope I'm thinking too much!" The counter shopkeeper walked into the counter, and he suddenly realized that now is no longer the era when Bei Meng always bullied Da Zhou.

The reality today is that if Da Zhou doesn't take the initiative to attack Northern Mongolia, Northern Mongolia will burn incense.

When Liu Qing heard Shopkeeper Bai's words, he actually had some concerns in his heart, but when he thought that Beimeng was no match for Da Zhou at all, he couldn't help feeling confident again.

Even though he was in Northern Mongolia, as a native of Dazhou, he was not so easy to bully.

But at this moment, in a very luxuriously furnished house, paved with countless animal skin blankets.

Siratou was leaning on a deck chair, eating a greasy leg of lamb. On one side, his eleven concubines were standing respectfully on one side, waiting to be ordered, and on the other side , his eight sons and twelve daughters are playing.

Ergu's plan to have more children has actually been overfulfilled, and he is one of the few noble businessmen in Northern Mongolia.

The steward at the side held a ledger and said, "Master, do we really want to buy [-] books? Most of the books written by people from Da Zhou are bitter and difficult to understand. Wouldn't [-] books be enough to read for several lifetimes, and it would cost a lot of money?" Money!"

Xilatwu snorted coldly, and said: "This time, I want that Liu Qing to give me all [-] books, and I won't give him a penny. How could he be arrogant in my Northern Mongolia?" Qualifications!"

"Master, I...I heard that he has a lot to do with Da Zhou's finance minister! Are we doing this..."

"You don't have to worry, master, I haven't been a businessman for a year or two, and I have a plan in my heart. I want to let him eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't tell the pain."

After that, he took a bite of the leg of lamb and said to the dozen or so concubines on the opposite side: "Third, fifth, seventh, eighth, the four of you will accompany the master tonight. Have a few more children, only in this way can we, Beimeng, become truly strong."

"Yes, master!" Several concubines said at the same time, in their eyes, they lived for Xilatwu.

Soon, on the [-]th, Liu Qing prepared [-] volumes of books and temporarily put them in a warehouse in Datu Prefecture, and handed them over after three days.

He has a full twenty printing workshops in Beimeng, and he has all kinds of book editions. Therefore, when multiple printing workshops start working at the same time, the speed is very fast, and there are still some books in storage, so it can be completed easily. task.

But Liu Qing faintly felt that this transaction would not be that simple.
