Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Kong Yingda cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I beg the treasury to fund the rebuilding of these two workshops!"

"These two workshops are really important to Datang's education."

"And I think that since it is going to be rebuilt, that one workshop is also built, and the ten workshops are also built. For the future of the Tang Dynasty, it is better to simply build more."

Speaking of which, over the past year or so, Kong Yingda's Imperial College has benefited the most.

Not only did the large number of books printed relieve the pressure on the family to control the teaching materials, but it also made a lot of money by selling the teaching materials.

So after hearing that the workshop was burned, it was Kong Yingda who was most anxious.

Kong Yingda's reason was reasonable, and Li You naturally understood it very well, but there was a trace of regret.

Li You originally wanted to see who was behind the scenes through this first person who stood up, but unfortunately this opportunity was wasted by Kong Yingda.

After Kong Yingda, many people responded to the call, and there was unanimous approval from top to bottom.

Cheng Yaojin, in particular, proposed to ask Li You to build a workshop for rolling paper at his own expense.

In the end, it was Li Shimin who made everyone quiet down first, and then asked, "Your, do you know how much it will cost to rebuild two workshops of the same size?"

"I know that you must have taken a lot of wrong roads when you established the first workshop. It will be much better if you build it again?"

Everyone could understand the implication of Li Shimin's words, it was nothing more than telling Li You that he didn't care about investing millions of dollars in the previous two workshops.

But with the previous experience, the copy workshop should be much cheaper, so Li You should not ask for prices.

Li You naturally understood this truth, but he was not prepared to let it go.

I saw Li You showing a look of embarrassment, and said: "Um, this, although the construction needs to be saved a little now, but..."

Before Li You finished speaking, Wang Gui couldn't help but said, "The king of Yan is probably reluctant to carry forward this technology."

"Kong Jijiu has always hoped that it can change the current education situation in Tang Dynasty!"

At this time, not only Wang Gui, but others including Kong Yingda also asked Li You to make a price. Even if the court could not pay, they were all willing to buy shares on behalf of the family.

Facing everyone's enthusiasm, Li You finally nodded solemnly.

[This workshop, a million dollars is definitely not worth it, but it’s okay if I earn twice as much! 】

[Besides, if I don't make some money in this place, how can I make up for the current loss! 】

After pretending to think about it for a while, Li You gave an accurate answer: "Everyone, don't worry, I don't mean to monopolize these two technologies. The Shence Mansion belongs to the imperial court, and the two workshops The technology can naturally be handed over!"

"It's just that when I was researching these technologies in the early stage, I borrowed a lot of money, and now I still owe the debt!"

"Considering the repayment of these debts, the current cost of a paper-making workshop is 30 guan, and a printing workshop is 25 guan!"

Hearing this, greedy eyes appeared in the eyes of all the major families present.

These two workshops together cost 55 guan. This amount may be an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but in their eyes it is a drop in the bucket.

Thinking of getting these two coveted technologies soon, many people showed excitement.

"Isn't it just 55 guan? Let me get one for each Zheng family in Xingyang!"

As soon as Li You finished speaking, someone opened his mouth, and then many people began to agree.

However, Li You shook his head again and said, "When did this king say that he would directly cooperate with the people to build?"

"What does King Yan mean to issue national bonds again?"

"According to King Yan's estimate, how much will be issued? 200 million guan or 300 million guan?"

"The previous few times the national debt was still a matter for the common people, so the private purchases were enthusiastic, but the construction workshop may not be understood by the common people."

A minister from an aristocratic family asked.

In fact, just before coming to the Hall of Qinzheng, the members of several aristocratic families had already reached a tacit agreement. If the government bonds were to be issued again this time, they would not buy them.

They have already made up their minds, this time they must intervene in the business of the two workshops!

Facing the minister's doubts, Li You shook his head again and said, "This king has also thought about this question. Since this is a matter of the Shence Palace, it's better not to take up the court's resources."

"Looking at the sincerity of my father and all the adults, I decided to sell printing equipment, papermaking equipment and related formulas to the outside world!"

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the Palace of Qinzheng.

Even Li Shimin was a little excited this time.

Of course, Li Shimin's excitement is more regrettable!
'This bastard doesn't care about the importance of things, how can such an important thing be sold as soon as it is sold? '

'If I knew you would say that, I wouldn't force you. '

'Now that all this has been said, I want to see how you plan to sell it! '

Li Shimin calmed everyone down again, and then said, "This matter of You'er is very important, how are you going to sell it?"

This time, Li You said indifferently: "I also decided on this matter just now, and the specific price has not yet been determined."

"However, I can assure you that the funds needed to purchase all the equipment and formulas to build these two workshops will definitely not exceed the amount I just said!"

"And when building the second workshop, there will be no more money for the formula."

After Li You's voice fell, the Palace of Qinzheng fell into a dead silence again.

After recovering from the shock, everyone unconsciously began to calculate the benefits of building such a workshop.

Soon, an astonishing number appeared in everyone's minds almost at the same time.

Assuming that two workshops are built together, it is only 55 guan, so the net profit in one year after construction is estimated to reach 40 to [-] guan.

In other words, it only takes two years to recover the invested funds.

This is only the first workshop, if the second one is built, the cost will be cheaper.

In this way, wouldn't it only take one year or less to pay back the capital.

Such a calculation result not only moved the hearts of the great families, but even Kong Yingda was also moved.

For more than a year, Kong Yingda did not actually distribute the income that Guozijian earned from selling teaching materials to the teachers. He also built a small treasury in private.

Although there is not much money in it, it is still possible to build two workshops.

Once it has its own papermaking workshop and printing workshop, Guozijian can completely realize the freedom of teaching materials.

More importantly, the dictionary he has painstakingly compiled for more than a year is about to come out.

At that time, there will definitely be another bloodbath in the academic world, and at that time, it will undoubtedly be a great advantage to have our own printing workshop.

Moreover, apart from Guozijian offering wine, Kong Yingda has another identity.
