Mr. Wei, can't you just calm down for a while? With your personality of always wanting to rebuke everything, only our old man can bear it. If you change your master, it would be considered a minor matter for you to be dismissed from office.
Unfortunately, there is already a place for you on the guillotine. Upon hearing the three questions raised by Wei Zheng, Li Zhen's head was so tight that she wanted to run forward and cover Mr. Wei's mouth. Without him, these three questions
The question was really too tricky.
The last two questions are just that. Although they are a bit difficult to answer, if Li Zhen wants to run a printing factory, those two questions cannot be bypassed. Of course, Li Zhen had already thought of the answers before coming here and knew it well.
, I am not too worried, but the trouble lies in one problem - the Confucian classics of this era do not include the Four Books and Five Classics. The classics are so vast, such as "Xunzi", "The Classic of Filial Piety" and so on.
There are not many, and there is no rigorous Confucian theoretical system like those of later generations. It is not a simple matter to master the Confucian classics, and one has to work hard. All along, Li Zhen has not really thought about becoming a great Confucian, that is, thinking about it.
It's just a way to make money. It's just because the old man asked about the rule of law. It was just to change the concept. Then he seriously mentioned the Four Books and Five Classics. It was just talk. Who would have thought that Mr. Wei would be so serious and forceful?
Li Zhen is asked to say that he is ugly and tall. Poor Li Zhen is not a real Confucian scholar. Isn't this embarrassing?
Tragic, damn, what should I say? Li Zhen was really anxious - although Li Zhen studied quickly, she had only been studying for more than two years, and she had not studied all the scriptures.
Being able to name the names of the Four Books and Five Classics is just some memories left behind in the past life. It is still some superficial stuff seen on the Internet. If I really want Li Zhen to tell the allusions in detail, how is that possible? I won't answer.
Not yet, this is the court. If you don't handle it properly, losing face is a trivial matter, and it's just a matter of not being able to do business. If you are looked down upon by your own father because of this, that would be unfair! Put it on Li Jing? Ha, there is no such thing.
Possibly, Li Jing is also looking at Li Zhen doubtfully at this moment.
At this moment, Li Zhen's back was wet with sweat, she rolled her eyes several times, pretending to be in deep thought, and thought nervously for a while before she said: "Father, my lords,
, the pricing of books is like this: the cost of a book is closely related to the number of prints and the number of words. Generally speaking, the more words the book has, the higher the cost will naturally be. However, the opposite is true for the number of prints: the more prints, the higher the cost.
The lower, but there is no limit. Take the book "The Analects of Confucius" as an example. If you print a thousand copies, the cost of each copy is 20 words, but if you print 10,000 copies, the cost of each copy is reduced.
When it reaches about twelve cents, including shipping, storage fees and other costs, the price per copy is about twenty-two cents. If 20,000 copies are printed, the price can be reduced to twenty cents..."
Before Li Zhen finished speaking, all the ministers were in an uproar. There were few books on the market at this time, and they were also very expensive. A thin copy of "The Analects of Confucius" would definitely cost you less than 50 or 60 pieces.
If it doesn't come down, this is already equivalent to the price of a big fat pig. If this book was written by a famous person, it would be as valuable as gold beads. And according to Li Zhen, the price of this book is simply cheap.
, most of the important ministers present were well-informed people, but they were still shocked by Li Zhen's words, and started discussing in a noisy manner.
Amidst the noise, Zuo Pu Shefang Xuanling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if what His Highness the King of Han said is true, this is a sharp weapon to benefit the people. I think it is right to do it, so as to enlighten the people's wisdom and educate the people's livelihood.
This is actually a righteous act that will last forever." Fang Xuanling is the prime minister and the leader of the ministers. He has a very high prestige in the court. When he expressed his stance, the other ministers immediately echoed his words, and the whole hall immediately became lively.
.
Not only were the ministers excited, but Li Shimin was also very happy. The smile on his face was particularly friendly. However, as an emperor, Li Shimin did not forget that the most important thing was not yet asked clearly. He smiled and lowered his hand to signal to the ministers.
Jing Jing looked at Li Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, are you serious about this?"
It's true, but Li Zhen had some ambush inside - this quotation is actually about 30% higher than the actual cost. Of course, if the technology is improved or the scale of the factory is increased,
If the line is expanded, the cost can be reduced even further.
The inflated portion was originally reserved for bargaining, but seeing the overjoyed look on the big guy's face, Li Zhen naturally took the profit without politeness. When Li Shimin asked, Li Zhen
Zhen hurriedly replied: "If I go back to my father, I really don't dare to deceive my father with lies."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded approvingly, and then asked: "I ask you, how should this book be printed?"
Oops, old man, this question is too big, and it’s really hard to answer. Li Zhen’s mind was moving quickly, and she pondered for a moment: “My son, I think that this matter of printing the book is related to the government, and I should be safe.
All printed books are reviewed by the Ministry of Rites to ensure there are no errors, and then printed by a printing house under the name of Erchen, and reported to the Ministry of Accounts for record to show the cost. As for the printing issues, they can be divided into two categories: First, the court purchases at cost price
, unified and divided into local government offices, for the purpose of encouraging learning, and secondly, the property under the name of the son-in-law set up bookstores in various places, and they can be operated in parallel according to the pricing reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which can play a complementary role."
There are no booksellers at this time, so how should we manage these books and publications? But what Li Zhen said made sense. All the important ministers nodded their heads in praise, and even Li Shimin also praised Li Zhen quite a lot.
The two parallel strategies mentioned were mentioned, but before Li Shimin could say the precise words, Wei Zheng on the other end spoke again: "Your Highness, King of Han, you haven't answered the old minister's question yet. Where did the so-called Four Books and Five Classics come from?
Code?"
Wow, this old man Wei really admits death, why can't you just pretend to be confused? It's really a pot that doesn't open up! Li Zhen managed to divert everyone's attention, but she never thought that Wei Zheng changed the topic
When he came back, he was immediately furious, but in front of his old man and all the ministers, how could Li Zhen have the courage to do it? Not only did she not dare to do it, but she also had to answer respectfully, which was not to mention how uncomfortable it felt.
Damn it, fight it! Li Zhen secretly gritted her teeth and said calmly: "Returning to Mr. Wei's words, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius are both sages' humble words and great meanings. They are thought-provoking and are actually famous quotes for governing the world. As for "The Great Learning"
, the two articles "The Doctrine of the Mean" are both from the "Book of Rites" compiled by the great scholar Dade of the Western Han Dynasty and his nephew Dai Shengsuo. The former is the gateway for beginners to enter virtue, and is actually a great knowledge for peace and stability; the latter clearly contains the principles of self-cultivation and character, Doctrine of the Mean.
The virtue is great, but its meaning is small. With caution, fear and prudence, one can clearly understand the way to hold on; with neutrality, one can understand the consistency of body and use; with position and education, one can understand the ultimate merit of benevolence and sincerity. Therefore, a gentleman can achieve both benefits and benefits.
In the world, if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself. Although these two articles are not written by the saint, they have great meaning and truly inherit the saint's way. Xiao Wang believes that by studying these two articles carefully, he can get the essence of the saint's way, so he puts forward these two articles separately.
, I thought that in the second of the four books, Xiao Wang was ignorant, so I asked Mr. Wei to give me some advice."
All the ministers present were well-educated people. Even Li Shimin had a very high level of Confucianism. Naturally, he was familiar with the Nine Classics, but he had never specifically studied the "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". At this time, he heard Li Zhen say this
As soon as he said it, everyone thought about it carefully and all came to their own understanding. Many people couldn't help but cheered, and even Wei Zheng nodded frequently.
"Okay, His Highness the King of Han is well-read, and his words are very kind!" Fang Xuanling, who was standing among the ministers, clapped his hands gently, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think the words of His Highness the King of Han are very suitable.
The way of the sage can be regarded as a classic when people think deeply about it.”
"Your Majesty, I think what Fang Gong said is true. His Highness the King of Han is extremely talented, which is really a great blessing to the court. I have been studying for many years, but I am not as capable as His Highness the King of Han. I am really ashamed." Shang, Ministry of War.
Oops, is Lao Hou praising us or trying to harm us? Damn it, what a great blessing the imperial court is, bullshit! Damn it, this sounds fishy, damn it, the limelight is so big this time, it’s a bad choice! Li Zhen
As soon as I heard Hou Junji's words, I immediately understood that Comrade Lao Hou was clearly trying to flatter him. Although he didn't understand why Hou Junji did this, he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
As expected, the face of Li Shimin, who was originally happy, suddenly changed, and he stared at Li Zhen with eyes as sharp as knives and said: "A child can see and hear, how can a saint's righteousness be described by a mere child, why don't you back down."
Damn it, Mr. *** Lao Hou, I’m not done with you anymore! Li Zhen was filled with hatred, but now that the old man had finished speaking, Li Zhen had no courage to bear it. In desperation, she could only kneel down and kowtow respectfully.
He said: "Yes, I will retire!" Li Shimin didn't say anything special, he just waved his hand with a calm face, signaling Li Zhen to retreat.
Don't pretend to be cool. If you pretend to be cool, you'll be struck by lightning. Damn it, it's really like that. Damn, am I stupid? He's just talking about the Four Books and Five Classics. He's so full! Damn it, who is this old Hou?
We have never offended him, so why do we have to have trouble with him? Alas, this time it’s so miserable. I can’t help but have to eat the cake. It’s depressing! Li Zhen wants to die.
When I returned to Min'an Palace, I didn't care what other people thought. I slipped into my room and fell on the bed, thinking bitterly, but I couldn't find a remedy after thinking about it.
My resentment was so suffocated that I felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, hurry up, get up quickly, the imperial edict has arrived!" Just as Li Zhen was thinking wildly, Liu Dequan hurried in and shouted anxiously.
Holy shit, it came so fast! Damn it, it looks like our little butt can’t be saved! Li Zhen was worried for a while, but she didn’t dare not to greet her, so she casually took the towel handed over by the maid next to her and wiped it off.
He grimaced and hurriedly ran out of the room... dd
