In the East Palace, Kong Yingda, Li Gang and others were all shocked when they heard the price mentioned by Li Chengqian!
"Your Highness, at such a price, you can't make any money."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, my father and I are not opening this library to make money, as long as we don't lose money!"
Li Chengqian looked indifferent.
"It's just that I'm afraid that the forces behind those bookstores will obstruct it!"
"How dare they? These two books can only be sold by Your Highness, so what does it have to do with them!"
"But……"
"If they dare to cause trouble, I will be the first to come out and come to chat with their owners one by one!"
"Your Highness can sell these two books with confidence and boldness!"
"Thank you Master Kong and Grand Master!"
After hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly thanked him with a happy face.
With the support of these two people, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that his back was much stronger.
After reporting it to Li Shimin, he started preparing to sell the books.
During the Tang Dynasty, woodblock printing had been widely used.
Within a few days, tens of thousands of enlightenment alphabet books and mathematics and arithmetic books had been printed.
…
Quietly, until the people in Chang'an City noticed it.
Three libraries were opened in Tonghuafang, Baoningfang and Dongshi in Chang'an City.
Library of the world!
Three libraries opened on the same day.
On the first day, only a few people went in to buy books.
However, when I went in, I found that there were not many books. Half of the books in the library were two books I had never heard of, "Alphabets of Enlightenment" and "Numerical Arithmetic."
Although the price is extremely cheap, not many people buy it.
On the other hand, some people in the official residence thought it sounded familiar and tried to buy a few copies back.
However, the next day, there were more book patrons in these three libraries.
At the same time, some gossip began to spread to the offices of major officials in Chang'an City.
"Wang Shilang, have you heard that some libraries have started to purchase the digital arithmetic book we learned some time ago!"
"Well, how is this possible? Could it be that Zheng Zhongcheng was deceived by a thief?"
"Wang Shilang is joking. Who dares to deceive me about books? Yesterday, my housekeeper bought several books. Each book costs only one hundred cents. Moreover, even the rumored book learned by His Highness
This is a letter of enlightenment, and my housekeeper also bought several copies!"
"really?"
"Young Master Wang can just take a look!"
"Thank you Zheng Zhongcheng for informing me!"
…
"Hey, Dr. Wu, I heard that a new Tianxia Library has opened in Dongshi!"
"Hmph, you are so arrogant. You dare to name it after the world! Tomorrow, I, the doctor, will go and see for myself. What madman dares to open a library with this name?"
…
"Mr. Qian, I heard the news that there is actually a library selling books on numbers and arithmetic?"
"Oh? Which library?"
"Go back to Mr. Qian, at the Tianxia Library in Dongshi!"
…
at the same time.
In the East Market, opposite Tianxia Library.
There are several other libraries arranged there.
They are Zheng's Bookstore, Cui's Bookstore, Lu's Bookstore...and so on.
Anyway, all the great families in the Tang Dynasty would open a bookstore here.
As for the newly opened Tianxia Library opposite, the shopkeepers of these bookstores were also stunned at first.
This bookstore that doesn't know the details not only doesn't understand the rules, but is also very arrogant.
Therefore, on the first day of opening, these shopkeepers only reported the situation to the management of the major families in Chang'an City, and then they all leaned at the door to watch the jokes in the library opposite.
When you are new to a library, you want to be special in front of such a big family bookstore to prevent you from leaving Dongshi in disgrace. These shopkeepers all feel sorry for the name of their bookstore.
Sure enough, on the first day, the bookstore was extremely deserted, with only a few book patrons.
On the second day, these shopkeepers were all shocked.
This Tianxia Library seems a bit unexpected.
At the end of the day, there were actually more bookstores than them.
Moreover, many book readers looked familiar to them.
When I inquired about it, I found out that this library mainly sells two books, but they dare to sell a hundred books.
Now, these shopkeepers couldn't help but feel angry.
"This newly opened library is just openly trying to slap me in the face!"
"Brother Zheng is absolutely right. If I don't teach this library a lesson, my family will definitely be ridiculed after my death!"
"In a moment, shall I go to that library to explore the inside?"
"Hey, what Shopkeeper Wang said makes sense. Although we are backed by the family, we can't bully others. It's better to be polite first and then fight!"
"Oh, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
"Well, does Shopkeeper Cui have any clever ideas?"
"As a foreign library member, he should be allowed to come to see us. How can we condescend to see him?"
"Huh? Exactly!"
As he said this, all the shopkeepers couldn't help but smile reservedly.
Immediately, a shopkeeper called a shop assistant to call someone from the other side.
A mere external force dared to give eye drops to the booksellers of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects. It was simply a matter of life and death.
However, after drinking a cup of hot tea, a hint of impatience flashed on the faces of these shopkeepers. We have been waiting for so long, why hasn’t the shopkeeper from the library opposite come over yet?
Thinking.
Sudden.
A shopkeeper found his waiter running over with a look on his face.
"Shopkeeper, something big happened!"
"Why are you so panicked?"
The shopkeeper, who looked about forty years old, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"Shopkeeper, there are many book patrons coming to the library opposite!"
Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, but he still replied bravely.
"Um?"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"Where is the manager of the library opposite?"
the shopkeeper asked.
"Go back to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper of Tianxia Library said he has to receive guests, so he has no time to come!"
The guy whispered.
"What?"
"That's unreasonable!"
"It's just a matter of life and death!"
Suddenly, all the shopkeepers could not help but look angry.
"That library has a lot of customers?"
As he said this, the shopkeeper saw his waiter's hesitant expression. He obviously had something to say, so he frowned and asked.
"There are many people who came back to the shopkeeper!"
The guy replied quickly.
"If there is anything else, let's talk about it together. How will it look like hesitating?"
the shopkeeper asked.
"Back to the shopkeeper, in that library, the current library contains all the major officials in Chang'an City!"
The guy replied quickly.
"Um?"
Hearing this, all the shopkeepers stopped and looked at the waiter in disbelief.
"Have you seen everything clearly?"
"Back to the shopkeepers, I can see clearly. I have seen many officials, even I have seen them!"
The guy replied quickly.
"How can this be?"
All the shopkeepers frowned at this.
"Is it possible that there is some powerful force behind this library?"
