Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 453 The sale is complete

Li Ming had been in contact with the formula of ink before, but it was a long time, so he inevitably forgot a lot. The craftsmen in the workshop worked without sleep for three days and three nights before they formulated the most suitable formula.

The key is the production of the printing press. It will take some time to research from scratch.

Knowing that he couldn't force it, Li Ming temporarily shifted his attention to government affairs.As Xi Zhicai said, this exchange is very meaningful, at least it can buy him three to five years to do other things.

Not long after, Kuaiji County, Yuzhang County, and Wu County jointly issued a decree, and the magistrates and county magistrates of the counties under their command, after receiving the news, went to the new county to take office.In addition, the officials of Luling County and Fujian County also exchanged with each other.

These days, there is no such thing as a major mobilization of the eight major military regions, but it is not difficult for a smart person to guess Li Ming's intentions.In fact, not only the county officials, but also the county officials and the county officials were disrupted and transferred.Gu Yan went to Yuzhang County to serve as the county magistrate, Zhou Shang became the county magistrate of Kuaiji County, and the original Yuzhang County magistrate went to Wu County.

Li Ming didn't even report to Chen Wen about the internal transfer of the three counties. After all, the prefects of the three counties had agreed with each other. How could Chen Wen be allowed to take advantage of this opportunity to mix sand with the three counties?
There is no news these days, especially in the Jiangdong area. As long as Li Ming doesn't make a big publicity, it will be difficult for the outside world to know what happened in Jiangdong.On the other hand, through the Zhou's inn, Li Ming was able to know all kinds of things, especially when the inn had opened stores in Jizhou, Bingzhou, and even Chang'an, news kept coming from all directions.

"For the next three years, Zhi Ge will stay in Kuaiji County." Li Ming looked at the acquaintance in front of him, but he was Bai Xin, the eldest son of the Bai family. According to the principle of this exchange, he will stay in Kuaiji County for the next three years. As a meritorious service officer, Wei Teng went to Wu County to serve as a meritorious service officer.

"Many officials in the county had complaints about this big transfer, and the subordinates and Ling Xing spent a lot of time to appease them." Bai Xin cupped his hands. He had also thought about making Wang Yu independent before. Once the marriage started, it was gone.

"The county magistrates in Wu County have served for more than three years, and they are about to become emperors. If you don't touch them often, you can't really think of yourself as an emperor." Li Ming said disdainfully.

"Ling Xing is also very respectful of this. When a new official takes office, the subordinates are not familiar with it, and many relationships have to be re-managed. It's just that the two of us are also worried. If things go on like this, will these aristocratic families have more and more connections, and then they will explode , I'm afraid even if it's the lord, it won't be easy to deal with!" Bai Xin reminded kindly.

"It doesn't need to go on forever, just keep them safe for three to five years!" Li Ming smiled, then pulled Bai Xin into the carriage, "I'll show you something good!"

When the carriage arrived outside the workshop in the suburbs, Bai Xin keenly discovered that the place was guarded by heavily guarded soldiers.Entering the workshop, you can smell the smell of ink from a distance.

"This is..." Bai Xin couldn't help being surprised, but didn't ask carefully, after all, he had already seen the machines.

Made of pure wood, it took ten days to finalize the shape, and then ten days to improve it. It took more than a month before it was officially put into production in mid-September, and more than 30 were built. Li Ming consumed [-]% of his annual income for this in it.It is said that engaging in technology is burning money, honestly do not deceive me!

"Look at this!" Li Ming picked up a printed and bound copy of "The Analects of Confucius", and handed it to Bai Xin.

"This... this..." Bai Xin opened it and looked at it. It was a thread-bound book with the smell of ink on it.

The skin is made of waterproof kraft paper, which can prolong the life of the book.From the second page, it was white paper, and the handwriting inside was clearly visible, and it was rare that the size and font were the same.

A copy of "The Analects of Confucius", double-sided printing is really not that thick, even so Bai Xin read word by word for a long time.Especially some punctuation marks in it, he couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time.

"Combined with this book!" Li Ming probably understood why the other party was like this, so he simply flipped through and found a copy of "Punctuation Marks", after thinking about it, he took out a copy of "Pinyin".

"Whose works are these two books?" Bai Xin flipped through them briefly, and there were various punctuation marks used in them.Especially in terms of pinyin, the characters are a bit odd-shaped, which is much more convenient than "Erya".

"These two books are currently only disseminated in Li Clan Studies. They have been promoted in Kuaiji Academy recently, and will be fully promoted in the future. The first emperor ruled the world, the carriages are in the same track, and the books are in the same text. Why can't I have a text with the same pronunciation?" Li Ming said with a smile. .

"My lord has lofty ambitions, and my subordinates admire them!" Bai Xin smiled. Li Ming had ambitions, and he knew it early on.

Flipping through the pages, he continued, "Perhaps the day when we really have the same pronunciation, we won't even have to popularize Mandarin Chinese!"

"This is also one of my goals!" Li Ming admitted.

"It's just such a good book, how much does the Lord plan to sell it for?" In Bai Xin's opinion, these three books don't have five hundred coins to lose money.

"The Analects of Confucius is one hundred articles, and Pinyin and punctuation are bought one get one thirty articles free!" Li Ming said with a smile.

"My lord, are you planning to lose money and make money?" Bai Xin was startled, at least he would lose more than 400 yuan per book. The key point is that this book will not only be published, the more it is published, the greater the loss will be.

"You think so, and you trust other aristocratic families, so they shouldn't interfere with my book sales." Li Ming said with a smile.

"My lord...can you give this subordinate a little bit of insight, isn't the cost of this thing less than a hundred coins?" Bai Xin compared the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand.When he came to the workshop, he could tell that this book should be a printed product, and the price should not be low!
"The cost of these three books is less than a hundred coins!" Li Ming said with a smile. This is the cost price after deducting the wages, paper and engraving costs.

"My lord's plan is huge!" Bai Xin gritted his teeth, he knew what would happen if such books were widely spread.

"I regard Zhi Ge as a confidant, Zhi Ge won't turn around and betray me, right?" Li Ming teased.

"The foundation has been dug up. Even if Bai does not act, the elders in the family may not be able to sit still... But in the eyes of the subordinates, the lord has no means of compensation. Tell the subordinates and Ling Xing to prepare to appease the place!" White hard smile.

"I have an idea... probably like this, what do you think?" Li Ming expressed his thoughts.

"If it can be implemented, we can make a proper compromise. Besides, by then, the master's books may have already been spread across the country, and the big families in various places can't just destroy every one they see?" Bai Xin nodded.

In the blink of an eye, in October, a renovated shop in Zhuji County opened, and the words Xinhua Shusi were typed out.Someone asked the boss, what is Xinhua, and the boss replied: "Since the opening of this store, Huaxia will inevitably enter a new stage, so it is called Xinhua!"

Not only in Zhuji County, but also in all counties of Kuaiji County, the shadow of Xinhua Bookstore appeared. At the same time, various sales points of Kuaiji Chamber of Commerce also temporarily laid out book areas.Soon, in Wu County, Yuzhang County, Danyang County, Changsha County, Guangling County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County, a large number of books appeared in the shop of the chamber of commerce.
