The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 959 Library

Qi Xiuyuan felt that his brother and sister-in-law were born to find problems for him, and he was still struggling with the children's education, so Qi Haoran found something for him to do again.

He really thinks that the Royal Library is easy to manage. There are so many scholars in the world, and they are scattered all over the world. This library is built in the capital, and it is said to benefit the people of the world. Flocking to Beijing after reading this book will cost as much as the travel expenses. For the poor people, this is simply impossible.

So he directly refused and told him, unless you can build libraries in every state capital, otherwise this matter can only be a waste of money. If you want to collect books, the library in the palace is open to you. which one.

Qi Haoran hadn't done anything yet, Fan Zijin got excited first, listed a series of bibliographies first, and handed over the business to Mu Yangling's bookstore, "Let your manager at the Beijing Bookstore handle it, and I will count the money for you later."

Mu Yangling glanced at the bibliography, and found that all the sub-collections and hundreds of schools were included, and there were even a lot of topographical miscellaneous talks. She immediately said: "Just give me the cost, and I will let them print ten volumes each. Our two families each want one volume, and the rest will be stored in the bookstore first, although Brother Huang said that it will cost a lot, but in fact I don’t mind lending him the money first.”

This is to drive the ducks to the shelves.

Fan Zijin twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You can do whatever you want, but if you can't collect the book in the end, don't blame me for not reminding you, this Royal Library is really difficult to manage."

Mu Yangling was very open-minded, "The big deal is that it will be sold in the bookstore at that time. Are the books still worried about selling?"

This is not the past life, books are one of the most worrying things to sell, but now Daqi’s national power is getting stronger, the country needs talents, and the reading atmosphere is getting better and better, books will only become better and better for sale, and what they publish is the Imperial Palace Library Some of the books in the bookstore cannot be found in bookstores outside.

Therefore, Mu Yangling asked people to print more, and she was not afraid of losing money at all, but the funds would be taken up. After all, paper and ink are not cheap in this era, but Mu Yangling is not worried about money at all, because her glass workshop The first batch of mirrors has been officially launched, and the watch workshop has also launched wall clocks and pocket watches. In a word, Mu Yangling is not short of money now.

With a wave of his hand, Mu Yangling, who was not short of money, asked the steward of Jingzhong Bookstore to go to the palace to find someone to ask for the book, and quickly published it. He also asked Zhu Liang to go back to Beijing in person to clean up several courtyards of the palace and make it a library. Keep books in good storage.

In addition, Mu Yangling also asked Zhu Liang to be responsible for the sales of glass and clocks. In addition to wholesale to merchants in various places, they also opened two shops to sell the products produced by these two workshops.

The glass workshop and watch workshop are located in Guangdong, a little far from the bustling Jiangnan. People there don’t know that they can produce these things, so Zhu Liang also shoulders the important task of promoting mirrors and watches when he returns to Beijing this time.

There were five carriages accompanying Zhu Liang to Beijing, two of which were gifts for the filial piety in the palace and relatives in Beijing, and the remaining three carriages were samples for Zhu Liang's business talks.

Most of the two cars were for Li Jinghua and the children, most of them were Western objects that Little Xiong and his three younger brothers were shopping for, and there was also a set of Western pink tutu skirts for Princess Pearl.

When Zhu Liang returned to the capital, he first handed the sign to the palace before returning home to freshen up. It was almost after he changed his clothes that the people in the palace sent him in to answer.

Zhu Liang didn't dare to be negligent, he asked people to pack his things and sent them to the palace to pass the security check, and at the same time went into the palace to answer.

Zhu Liang was taken all the way to the side hall of Kunning Palace, he knew that the one who wanted to see him was the queen, but as soon as he entered, he heard the laughter of the child, Zhu Liang didn't dare to lift his head, so he took two steps inside Just knelt down and kowtowed.

The female official said: "No courtesy."

Zhu Liang then stood up and stood on a book with his head bowed, and looked up quietly, and saw the queen sitting on it with the princess in her arms, and three boys sitting on the soft couch beside him, they should be the second prince and the third prince With the fourth prince, Zhu Liang lowered his eyes and bowed to wait.

The queen smiled and asked: "I haven't seen your princess for a long time, is she okay?"

"Thanks to your mother's blessings, the princess is in good health."

"What did she bring us this time, and she sent you back to Beijing." Li Jinghua was curious about this, but she asked Ah Ling, who always said that she understood things when she saw them, and Xiaobao obviously didn't understand. Knowing something, but also hiding it from her, but the second prince is half-knowledgeable, and can only call baby.

So she was very curious about what kind of treasure made Mu Yangling send her the big housekeeper back. You must know that Zhu Liang helped Mu Yangling handle most of the affairs of the palace.

Just as Zhu Liang was about to answer, there was the sound of singing promises outside, Zhu Liang hurriedly stepped aside, Li Jinghua brought the four children to the door, and the emperor came in holding Xiao Bao's hand, "Didn't it mean that Ah Ling brought us a baby?" Is it? Where are things?"

The things were quickly sent to Kunning Palace through the security check. The children were very happy to see so many strange and weird Western gadgets, and they sat on the carpet to choose what they liked.

But Li Jinghua held a mirror and looked at herself in surprise, touched her cheek, and took a long time to let out a breath.

Qi Xiuyuan played with an exquisite pocket watch, and asked calmly: "Is this all made by the workshop of the palace?"

"Yes, it was only developed this spring. I have been stockpiling the goods for four months, and they are selling well in Guangdong. My lady asked me to go back to Beijing to find merchants, and see if the merchants in Jiangnan are willing to cooperate."

"Sure enough, it's a treasure," Qi Xiuyuan smiled, "No wonder their husband and wife dare to propose building a royal library."

He put the pocket watch into the box, closed it again, looked at Zhu Liang, and asked, "What else do you have to do when you return to Beijing this time besides discussing business?"

"The prince's mansion and the Duke's mansion discussed publishing a batch of books and storing them. The princess said to print a few more volumes and store them first. If they want to open the royal library, they can just move them and don't need to reprint them, so as not to waste manpower. Increase the cost, if it is not open, then send it to various bookstores for sale, the books in the palace are all good, so don’t worry about not being able to sell them.”

"Your palace is rich, so you don't have to worry about those books taking up the funds." Qi Xiuyuan knocked on the table and said, "Since your concubine ordered you to do so, then print a few more copies."

After Li Jinghua waited for Zhu Liang to leave, he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, are you really planning to build a royal library? I'm afraid the adults in the court are unwilling to take money from the national treasury. Although your internal treasury still has money, it is not enough It’s worth it for you to spend so much.”

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Even if I stop what Haoran and Ah Ling want to do now, they will make troubles in the future, so it's better to accept it here. I don't have the money, but there are many houses and people. They don't want to do it now." I didn’t expect it to become very popular, since it’s the case, it doesn’t matter if the library is smaller, the big deal is to build it later when I have money.”

"I remember that there is a house in Lin Guo Zi Jian left by Zuo Shilang, the former minister of official affairs. Let's put the books in it first. Aren't the students of Guo Zi Jian making a noise recently and asking me to reduce the number of soldiers? Just find something for them Do it, let them take care of the borrowing of these books, so that I won’t always be troubled by doing nothing.”
