Chapter 62 Excited Li Shimin



"Your Highness, this is not how you settle accounts!"

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's current obsession with money, Li Gang still patiently told the story.

"Teacher, I remember that the money used to print these books was less than two thousand guan!"

Li Chengqian was a little confused.

"But Your Highness, you haven't included the wages of the shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the library. In addition, the cost of opening those shops has not been included."

Li Gang said.

"Teacher, I remember that those three libraries cost 200 guan. As for the wages of the shopkeepers and store clerks, they couldn't even use 2 guan in the past three days." Li Chengqian said to himself.

"Your Highness is right. The old minister was a little negligent in this matter."

After listening, Li Gang sighed slightly.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he refrained from saying again: "However, I hope Your Highness will not blame me for talking too much."

"Teacher, what are you talking about? As a teacher, if Gao Ming does something wrong, you can just scold him!"

Li Chengqian looked shocked and said quickly.

"Your Highness, you are the current crown prince and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you will inevitably have to manage the country and handle government affairs. You must not be obsessed with business affairs."

Li Gang said.

"Please rest assured, teacher, Gao Ming was just a little excited when he saw so much money all at once."

Li Chengqian said quickly, and then gave instructions to Li Fu beside him.

"Quickly go to Tonghuafang and Baoningfang and get all the book money from these two libraries. I want to report the good news to my father!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Fu bowed his hands and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Li Gang's eyes flashed with worry, but he didn't say any more.

As for Li Chengqian, he had been sitting on the sofa in the Xiande Palace. After Li Fu had collected all the money from selling books in the two libraries, he packed them in boxes and was carried by the guards to the Taiji Palace.

.

At this time, in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was receiving Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone in Datang is short of money.

When they heard that Prince Li Chengqian led a group of East Palace guards and several large boxes to the Tai Chi Hall, everyone couldn't help but stop and looked outside the hall with curious faces.

After all, for a child who is only ten years old, although he is a prince, he is still a child, and making such a high-profile act still makes everyone curious.

"My child has met his father, his uncle, and all the princes!"

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Li Chengqian came in, he found that everyone in Tai Chi Hall, including his father, was staring at him.

I couldn't help but rub the back of my head in embarrassment.

However, thinking of the four thousand coins in the box behind him, he couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that he was also relieving his father's worries.

"Gao Ming, why are you here?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Go back to my father, I'm here to give you money!"

Li Chengqian said.

"oh?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and all thought of the big boxes outside the hall.

"Gao Ming, what kind of money did you bring?"

For Li Chengqian, Li Shimin at this time was full of love and patience.

Therefore, even if you have already guessed the answer, you are still prepared to accompany Li Chengqian seriously.

"Back to my father, all the 40,000 copies of "Numerical Arithmetic" and "Alphabet of Enlightenment" printed by my son have been sold out."

Li Chengqian's eyes were full of excitement and he said: "A book sold for one hundred copies, and a total of four thousand guan was sold. The money is being placed outside the palace."

"What, everything is sold out?"

"Forty thousand copies, all sold out?"

"A book is only one hundred words long?"

At this time, everyone in the entire hall was filled with surprise.

Especially Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, although they knew that His Highness was going to open a library and sell "Numerical Arithmetic" and "Alphabets of Enlightenment".

However, I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince would dare to sell only one hundred copies of a book.

Moreover, the action was so fast, it seemed that they had already sold 40,000 books before they received any news.

Then, when they thought of something, they couldn't help but look at each other and sighed deeply in their hearts.

As for Li Shimin, his face was full of joy.

"Someone, bring in all the boxes brought by the prince outside the palace."

"yes!"

Following a reply, guards soon carried the box brought by Li Chengqian into the main hall.

Later, Li Chengqian personally opened the wooden boxes one by one.

Five large boxes of copper coins were placed in the main hall, and all the voices were muted.

Although they have seen more copper coins than these, the five large boxes of copper coins placed in front of them still have a great impact.

"Gao Ming, I remember that your library has only been open for less than three days. How did you buy it so quickly?"

Above, Li Shimin had stood up, his face full of excitement.

He couldn't do it without standing up, he was excited.

He knew better than Li Chengqian how much it cost to open three libraries and print 40,000 books, which was not even 1,600 guan.

This means that in less than three days, I made 2,400 guan.

It had been almost two years since he ascended the throne. The Tang treasury was short of money, and the inner treasury of the palace was also in constant financial shortage. The entire palace had to cut back on food and clothing.

If you earn like this for a year, you can't make 30 million yuan?

Although I know in my heart that this is impossible, what if I can make money for the first half of the year?

At least the Tang Dynasty household department and the imperial palace treasury had money.

Even the military pay for those armies can be paid out at once!

"Father, even the child doesn't know."

However, it is obvious that Li Chengqian still cannot understand Li Shimin's excitement.

"On the first day the library opened, it seemed that only a few books were sold. Therefore, I thought that many readers did not realize the benefits of these two books, so I prepared these 40,000 books to sell a

Where’s the human moon?”

"Who would have thought that today, as soon as my child finished class with the teacher, the library manager came to ask for the books and said that they had all been sold out, and there were many book buyers who were making reservations!..."

Li Chengqian told Li Shimin everything.

However, Li Chengqian did not tell Li Shimin what Li Gang advised him.

"That's weird!"

After listening, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others looked at each other, as if this was their first time encountering this kind of thing.

"Li Wei, go and send someone to investigate quickly. Why is this?"

"yes!"

Hearing this, Li Wei hurriedly walked out.

However, all of them expected that half of the credit for this matter had to go to the various aristocratic families.

Zheng's house in Xingyang, in the main house.

Zheng Yuanzhe looked at the pile of exquisite books piled in front of him, his face wrinkled.

Although a few days ago, he wanted to send people to find out what was written in the mysterious "Alphabet of Enlightenment" book, but he didn't want to look at so many books!

"Mingde, who else is delivering these books to the main house?"

Sighing heavily, Zheng Yuanjing on the side asked Zheng Mingde below.

"Back to Second Grandpa, it seems that Yunde also sent fifty copies and they are on the way!"

Zheng Mingde said quickly.
