Chapter 208 Too Much Money
After Zhang Wu pretended to be ruthless on Lumen Mountain, he talked with all the celebrities again, and then returned to Xiangyang City.

Sima Hui and Pang De set up a stone tablet in Lumen Academy and engraved the four sentences Zhang Wu said on the stone tablet to encourage themselves and the students in Lumen Academy.Later, scholars from all over the world came to Lumen Academy to worship this stone tablet. From then on, Lumen Academy became famous all over the world and became a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world.

After half a month of preparation, the major families finally started printing books.The reason why it took so long to prepare is because engraving the printing plate is too laborious, and if you accidentally make a mistake, you have to re-engrav it.In order to hurry up, the major families recruited almost all the artisans in Jingzhou, and some families even recruited artisans from the sites of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang and others.

The printing office under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion began to provide blank paper and ink to the major families according to the pre-determined quota, and Liu Ba also sent his subordinates to inspect and supervise the printing houses of the major families.

For things like printing books, as long as the work starts, the books will be printed in large quantities very quickly.

The people in charge of printing books from various major families have been trained in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and are familiar with the various processes.

In the book printing workshop of the Pang family in Xiangyang, Pang Lin, a disciple of the Pang family, is directing the craftsmen to print books according to various procedures.I saw a craftsman first use a special guillotine to cut a stack of large sheets of white paper into stacks of smaller paper, and then someone transported the cut paper to the craftsman in charge of printing.

The craftsman in charge of printing first applied a layer of ink on the printing plate with a brush, then covered the white paper on the printing plate, and then used a soft brush to brush back and forth on the white paper several times. A full page has already been printed.

Different craftsmen print different contents, and after printing, the person in the next process is responsible for arranging them in order, then punching holes on one side, binding them with hemp rope, and a book is completed.

Pang Lin couldn't wait to pick up the first book and check it out. There were two big characters printed on the cover: Spring and Autumn.

The book printed by the Pang family's printing house is "Spring and Autumn". With the scale of this workshop, even if it is not very proficient in printing at the beginning, it can print more than 500 copies a day.

One copy can be sold for hardware, and five hundred copies are worth 3000 gold, which is equivalent to [-] million yuan!All the properties of the Pang family can't make so much money in a year!
Although 200% has to be handed over to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Pang family only accounts for [-]%, but this is still [-] million yuan. If the craftsmen are familiar with the operation process, or increase the number of people, the production can be further improved. This is really a great wealth. !
Not only the Pang family in Xiangyang, but the entire Jingzhou family, large and small, as long as they participated in this matter, they were all immersed in the ecstasy of getting rich soon.

After the major families printed the books, they quickly began to sell them. In order to stabilize the price, they followed the hunger sales method recommended by the Grand Governor and put only part of it on the market at a time.

It has to be said that people in this era are so thirsty for knowledge. The books printed a few days ago had no chance to be published in Jingzhou, and they were all covered by the local families in Jingzhou.

As the books were sold, huge sums of money were exchanged.The patriarchs and main members of the major families were ecstatic at first, but then they became numb, and they didn't feel anything when they looked at the strings of numbers.This is faster than stealing money!I didn't expect this kind of money to be earned so much, the chief governor is really our reborn parents!
In the eyes of these families, interests are the most important. As long as it can bring benefits to their family, they will firmly support it. The so-called one with breasts is not necessarily the mother, but the one with money must be the father!
Now the governor is their own father!Whoever dares to fight against the governor, whoever dares to hinder them from making money, they will fight desperately!

Is the governor short of troops?We have people!
Is the governor short of food?Our family has!
Does the governor lack weapons and armor?We can build!
What else is the governor missing?Are you short of women?Our family happens to have a legitimate daughter of the right age, so it's okay to be a concubine!

Ten days later, the local families in Jingzhou had almost bought it. These publishers began to open up new markets, using the business channels they opened up when doing business before, and sold the books printed in Jingzhou to Jiangdong, Yizhou, Hanzhong, Xuzhou, Sili and so on.Even the remote and remote Jiaozhou, Liangzhou and Youzhou have people selling books.

From a national perspective, there are actually countless families in Jingzhou, a little worse than those in Jiangdong, and even worse than those in the Central Plains. The Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Xun family in Yingchuan, The Sima family in Hanoi, the Chen family in Yingchuan, etc. are the first-class families in the world, and they are much stronger than Jingzhou in terms of quantity and quality.

Therefore, when the books printed in Jingzhou were sold to the Central Plains, it caused a shock in the world. Colleagues who were rushing to buy the books from the aristocratic families also lamented that the world is about to change.

Smart people like Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, etc. can certainly see what kind of impact the publication of the book will bring. It is a broom that can sweep the aristocratic family into the dust of history!

But this is the general trend of the world, and no one can stop it. Anyone who dares to stand up and stop it will be the first to be crushed into dust.Because even if you are a top big family, you would not dare to make enemies of all the poor families and common people in the world, and you should not expect other big families to help you, because there are huge interests in this.

These aristocratic families are now thinking about two things. The first thing is how to get a hand in this matter and bite off a piece of this huge piece of fat.The second thing is how to deal with the upcoming problem of children from poor families and even ordinary people being able to read.

For the first thing, the method adopted by the big families was to cooperate with the families in Jingzhou who were qualified to print books.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. We are not just a local snake. If you want to sell books in our place, you need our permission and our cooperation.

Otherwise, we will confiscate your book!If you dare to sell secretly, you will be beheaded if caught!
Because these are troubled times, even if we are so overbearing and unreasonable, there is nothing you can do about it, because this thing is so profitable, we are jealous!
Therefore, after asking the governor Zhang Wu for instructions, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou cooperated with the wealthy families in various states and counties. After discussing and waiting for the production to come up, Jingzhou is only responsible for printing, and the cooperative partners in various counties help with sales. Proportional Take a commission.

The bulk of the benefits were still taken away by the Jingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Jingzhou family, but the powerful families in various places who can cooperate with the Jingzhou family can also make money, and they earn a lot.

Of course, the local aristocratic families in Jingzhou will definitely be a little dissatisfied when they get a part of their profits, but it is a troubled time now, and the princes of various places are divided, so there is no way.

They can only think in their hearts, if the governor can defeat those who are in the way, and bring their territory under the rule of the governor, it would be great!

Zhang Wu, who went to college, knew that it was normal for them to have this idea. Some wars were just to open up the market.
