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

Kong Yingda's ability to become Guozijian Jijiu not only relies on his own attainments in Confucian classics, but also because he is the official descendant of Confucius and the head of the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong.

The Confucian family in Qufu is also a top-notch family. Although only the Confucian family is considered alone, it may not be as good as a big family with five surnames and Qiwang, and even Jingzhao Wei's is not as good.

But the influence of the Confucian family is absolutely terrifying. What the Confucian family represents is not just a family, but a large number of aristocratic families established on the basis of Confucianism.

For example, the Meng family in Zoucheng, the Yan family in Langya, and the Zeng family in Jiaxiang. The ancestors of these families were either also masters of Confucianism, or they were disciples of Confucius.

And it only needs the Kong family to raise their arms, and these aristocratic families will definitely respond one after another.

It can be said that these Shandong aristocratic families have a closer relationship than the alliance formed by the five surnames and Qiwang through generational marriages.

This kind of closeness does not come from blood, but also from faith.

The Kong family almost never participated in the struggle for power. Even though Kong Yingda is now an official in the court, his ambition is not prominent in front of others, because they don't need it at all.

They cooperated with the imperial power as equals, and their intention was only to declare the orthodoxy of Confucianism.

The emergence of printing technology has greatly accelerated the time for producing books, and at the same time greatly reduced the cost. In Kong Yingda's view, this is just the right time to carry forward Confucianism.

Kong Yingda kept asking herself, such an opportunity is in front of her, what are she waiting for!

Excited, Kong Yingda came out and said loudly: "If King Yan doesn't mind, the Imperial College is willing to build one, and the Kong family in Qufu wants two."

With Kong Yingda taking the lead, those aristocratic families who were still hesitating to negotiate a price ordered them to open their mouths. The rich and powerful families wanted two or three sets at once, and some weaker aristocratic families also wanted one set.

Faced with the scene of people rushing to buy, Li You felt secretly refreshed.

[Kong Jijiu, what do you want me to say about you. 】

[I really didn't expect that you were the one who ruined my good deed just now, and you are the one who helped me make it happen now. 】

[In this case, I will earn you less. 】

Thinking of this, Li You also said excitedly: "My lords, calm down, this matter has to be discussed in the long term."

"You all know that there is a fire in Shence Mansion, and many things need to be restarted. This construction workshop is not something that happens overnight, so you don't need to rush to sign up."

"Why don't I take over the Kong Jijiu project first, and we'll go to the Shence Mansion to discuss the other orders after the court."

"I would also like to apologize to all the adults for this. The Shence Mansion has limited manpower. In order to ensure the quality of the project, it will definitely not be able to build so many workshops at one time."

"At that time, we will arrange the construction period according to the time of payment, and construct one by one."

Then Li You bowed to Kong Yingda and said, "Thank you Kong Jijiu for being the first to stand up and support me, so this time I will treat the three sets of workshops as one order and only charge the amount for one recipe. "

Hearing this, Kong Yingda also hurriedly returned the gift.

Although I don't know the price of these formulas yet, but I think there are still 10,000+ guan.

For the Confucian family in Qufu, 10,000+ guan may not be a big deal, but it would be a lot of money in the Guozijian.

The conversation between Li You and Kong Yingda made people from other aristocratic families understand something.

If the orders of the Kong family and Guozijian can be counted as a whole and only charge the price of the formula once, then these well-connected families can also operate in the same way.

At that time, as long as several aristocratic families cooperate to open workshops, then the high formula fee will be saved.

Thinking that this matter needs to be negotiated, the other aristocratic families stopped clamoring for Li You to help them build workshops first.

After everyone quieted down again, Li Shimin still said regretfully: "Your, papermaking and printing are related to the foundation of education, and it is also the well-being of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. It is a blessing for the country that you can pass this technology on so generously." .”

"However, this matter is ultimately an internal matter of your Divine Strategy Mansion, so I will not reward you."

Li Shimin's words were full of regrets, lamenting that he failed to help Li You keep these two technologies after all.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance of losing a large piece of fat, Li You couldn't help muttering in his heart.

[I don’t know what Li Er is worried about. When you tricked me to help you build the Daming Palace, didn’t you already exempt the taxes from the Shence Palace? 】

[Even if these two workshops make money, it has nothing to do with you. 】

[Besides, do you think it would be better for me to make money by helping them build workshops? 】

[Then you are wrong, don't say anything else, look at their enthusiastic appearance today, at least getting [-] or [-] sets will not be a problem. 】

【You also heard me just now. If you want to build a workshop, you have to pay first. The workshops are built one by one. Even if you queue up, you have to pay first to be eligible. 】

[Even if you don't collect the full payment first, it's not too much for a workshop to charge [-] yuan first. 】

[In this way, wouldn't it be easy to get two or three million guan! 】

[Besides, this papermaking technology and printing technology cannot be updated once a year or two. 】

[At that time, these workshops that have been repaired can update their technology without paying? 】

[What else is training fees for workers, sales of key materials, the money is endless! 】

[This is no better than guarding a workshop and technology and worrying about it every day. 】

Although Li Shimin didn't fully understand what Li You said, he understood that Li You would definitely not suffer a loss in this transaction.

Especially the follow-up plan to make money lying down, made Li Shimin particularly interested.

At this moment, Li Shimin has already begun to think about how to reflect his own value in this follow-up plan to make money, so as to make his internal treasury more abundant.

However, if you want to make money in the future, you must let this matter go through now.

Li Shimin said: "Since You'er has already made up his mind, I won't say anything."

"I only have two requirements. The First Shence Mansion must have its own workshop to meet the basic purchases of the future imperial court!"

"Second, the Shence Mansion must ensure the quality when building the workshop. Well, it's already winter, so you can start rebuilding the Shence Mansion and the Imperial College first."

"Next year, you can't build more than ten workshops and five sets. If the quality can all meet the standards, you can increase the number of workshops you can build in the next year."

It has to be said that Li Shimin's thoughts turned quickly, and in such a short period of time, Li You thought of a reason for how to charge a higher price.

With Li Shimin's restriction order, those who want to build a workshop earlier have to pay the money quickly.

And Li You can also charge a higher deposit because of this restriction order.

In the face of high profits, the family's own alliance is once again facing the crisis of being dispersed.
