Time passed, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and news came from the Western Front, under the deterrence of the Tang Army's powerful military power, Tuyuhun fled thousands of miles away, and the threat on the Western Front was lifted.
As soon as the news came out, Chang'an was thunderous again, and the victory of foreign wars again and again made the people of Datang become confident, self-reliant, and proud of everything.
On the one hand, they hope that Datang will be strong, so that they can make more money; On the other hand, they are afraid of the strength of Datang, and they are afraid that this powerful existence will wipe out their country one day in the future.
Under such conditions, Li Muyun's bookstore opened, but unlike ordinary bookstores, the layout of his bookstore was very strange.
The bookstore, which occupies four storefronts, is very magnificent, and the inside is completely opened, in a huge space, there are rows and rows of bookshelves, and there are many books on the shelves, including astronomy and geography.
And in a sunny corner of the inside, there was a long table, and around the table there were many chairs, which looked very strange, and people couldn't understand what it was for.
His Majesty Li Er, Kong Yingda and others, who were invited to attend the opening ceremony, walked around accompanied by Li Muyun and expressed satisfaction with the stock of books in the store, but did not understand why he made such an arrangement.
"Uncle Wang, what are the twenty or so chairs that table for, do you need so many shopkeepers in your shop" Changle, as Li Er's favorite daughter, was also among the entourage, and out of curiosity, he asked the doubts in his heart for the emperor and everyone.
I didn't want Li Muyun to shake his head, and said with a smile: "That's not for the shopkeeper to sit on, but for people to read." ” Li Shimin was taking out a book from the bookshelf and looking at it in his hand, when he heard the words, he turned around and asked, "What does it mean to read a book?"
"It's just reading, just like you are now, you can't stand and read with a book, or you can't stand and remember something if you need to record something" Li Muyun's expression was a little weird, as if he was worried about Li Er's IQ.
Li Chengqian had been hiding behind his father, but at this time, he poked out half of his head and asked in an incredible tone: "You mean that people who come here can take out a book from here and sit over there to read it, so if he doesn't buy it after reading it?"
Li Muyun spread his hands: "If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, what's this?"
"Then how do you make money," Eldest Sun Wuji asked on the side.
"Hehe" Li Muyun suddenly laughed, pointed to the rows of bookshelves and said: "These are all precious treasures left to us by the sages, and they belong to everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
The faces of Li Shimin and the others instantly became indescribably weird, and everyone present knew that Li Muyun, the bastard, was a dead man who stretched out his hand in a coffin to ask for money, when did he become so generous It is also a precious wealth of everyone in Datang, if so, wouldn't those who sell books at sky-high prices be beaten to death with sticks.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Muyun continued: "Actually, I am not as noble as I just said, I will still sell the books that should be sold, but as a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, while enjoying the worship of the people, Li Mou does not dare to neglect the responsibility of repaying the society." ” "As I just said, books are used to spread culture, not for profit, so Li decided to open this library, in order to consult materials for those poor children who do not have the financial strength to buy a large number of books, I just hope that when they become famous, they will not forget to give back to the society, and do not forget that there are still many people in the world who need them to do their part."
Except for the little girl in Changle who was moved by Li Muyun's long talk, her eyes were a little red, and the rest of the people were all petrified on the spot, and they couldn't help but say fiercely for Li Muyun: Admire.
You must know that in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why the family can have the power to influence the court situation is because of cultural inheritance.
The family with a lot of knowledge has made every effort to cultivate its own lineage, and those who are not convinced by them or are looked down upon by them have been suppressed by them, even if Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sees through everything, in the end, he can only see it in his eyes, and he is anxious in his heart, but he is powerless to change this fact.
And the reason why Li Muyun's shot this time is very spicy is that he found the right weakness of these thousand-year-old families and directly stabbed them on it.
As soon as the initiative to open a library and provide people with free reading was introduced, it almost opened a secret door for those poor students in the closed secret room, where books that could not be read in the past can be read, and materials that cannot be found can also be found here.
In addition, these children of poor families have endured hardships and have a deep understanding of the real situation of the people, and the two are judged by a higher judgment.
This is simply a desperate plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, although it does not take away what the family depends on, but it spreads what they rely on to survive everywhere.
If it is combined with the sentence that books are the wealth of the world, it will immediately label the family of self-cherished broom as a villain, and in the face of countless poor students in the world, even if the family is powerful, it is also a mantis arm as a car, and it is powerless to return to the sky.
Of course, the family can also use some shady means, but don't forget, for them, Li Muyun is the barefoot, if they can't beat this guy to death with a stick, and provoke him to go crazy and fight for the position of the king of the county, if he has to die with them, it will be an intractable situation.
After all, at present, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also regards the family as a thorn in the flesh, if it weren't for them to make the Tang machine work, it is estimated that he would have attacked them a long time ago.
Therefore, if Li Muyun really fights to die and dies with the family, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not stop it when it just happened, on the contrary, it may provide some convenient conditions for the broken household.
In the face of such a situation, the family is actually waiting for death, and the difference is just the length of time.
Of course, if they don't want their reputation to be too bad, they can also follow Li Muyun's example and set up a free library, but this is no different from drinking to quench their thirst, because this is equivalent to digging their own graves, and after a few years, those poor children who have benefited from them will still replace them and knock them out of the dust from the altar.
And Li Muyun's desperate plan didn't seem to stop there, and after beckoning everyone to sit down, he spoke again: "Brother Huang, my lords, I still have a little immature idea here, and I want to ask for everyone's opinions." ” None of the people spoke, they all looked at Li Shimin, and then they heard the imperialist leader say in a tone that taught his son: "What kind of demon moth are you going to make trouble again?"
With infinite innocence and grievances, Li Muyun shrank his neck, waved his hand and said: "No, no, I just thought about it, isn't it convenient to print now, if you adults have a book that you want to publish, our bookstore can help." ” Everyone looked at each other, and Li Shimin asked again: "How much?"
Li Muyun stretched out five fingers: "Thousands of copies and five runs, that is, for every thousand copies we print, five runs of money, if ten thousand copies are fifty runs." ” As soon as the words fell, Yu Zhining, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but shoot the case: "The criminals have thousands of copies and five times, are you crazy, obviously your printing cost is already very low, and now you have made the price of five times, you, you" Although Yu Zhining's personality is not particularly old-fashioned, he is also a scholar in the final analysis, how can he not be angry when he sees that his little apprentice is so greedy for money.
The rest of the people, including Li Shimin, also nodded yes with deep understanding, thinking that Li Muyun's offer was problematic.
After listening to Lao Yu's words, Li Muyun's heart was also hot, and he secretly said that it was really his teacher who was facing him, knowing that he would save money for his little disciple.
But because there were too many people present, I really couldn't say the words of thanks, so after thinking about it, I was able to say in a consultative tone: "Then teacher, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Yu Zhining slapped the table, didn't think about it, and said categorically: "At most, two runs, no more" "Well, it's reasonable to do both."
Wei Zheng twisted his beard and shook his head in agreement, paused and said again: "But the old man thinks it's better to drop a little more, consistently."
"Well, that's consistent, 1,000 copies consistent, and the price is still relatively reasonable."
Kong Yingda stroked his hands and praised.
Li Muyun saw that everyone was nodding, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he always felt like he was taking advantage of someone else's boss, and asked hesitantly: "That, everyone, is there always too few thousand volumes?"
"It's a lot, that's it, it's consistent" Yu Zhining, as Li Muyun's teacher, took out the style of the feudal family and finally made a decision.
His Majesty the Great Emperor Li Er also nodded and said, "That's it, it's so decided, a thousand volumes." ” Li Muyun saw that everyone supported this price, so naturally he couldn't say anything, after all, it was not easy to make money these days, no matter how rich he was, he couldn't throw away the money he got again, so he simply nodded and said: "Okay, according to the meaning of the imperial brother and the teacher, thousands of copies are consistent."
But everyone, the small shop is newly opened, who will cheer you on?"
Everyone looked at each other again, if such a thing as publishing a book was in normal times, it would be nothing, but now all the people present are cultural people, who can be embarrassed to take the lead.
In the end, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Then it's convenient for Aiqing to publish a copy, if I am not mistaken, you seem to have a book of justice, just give this kid a chance." ” Yu Zhining, as Li Muyun's teacher, is indeed the most qualified person to let him publish a book among all people, plus with Li Er's guidance, he pushed the boat down the river and said: "No, the minister obeys the order." ” After that, he looked at Li Muyun and said: "I will send you the manuscript when I become a teacher tomorrow, but this money will have to wait for a while, and when the old man has saved enough, I will give it to you again." ”:
