Yunrongju’s high-profile opening and dismal business made many stores in the town wait to see the joke.
Especially cloth shops and garment stores.
Of course, Li Yu didn't take it to heart. Whether the business was good or not would not be reflected in two months.
It has been almost a month since Li Yu last contacted Qu Xiangbai. She thought that he had rejected her. Although she was disappointed, she would not blame him.
Who would hand over his good business to a dreaming woman?
I guess in Qu Xiangbai's eyes, he is the dreamer.
It doesn’t matter if you disagree. You can talk about it when you have money.
Just when Li Yu had given up, Qu Xiangbai brought her a message.
Go to the library to discuss things.
Things might be turning around, she thought.
"I thought Mr. Qu wouldn't agree and was about to give up."
This was the first sentence Li Yu said to him when he saw him.
After he finished speaking, he realized that there was someone sitting next to him.
Li Yu knew this person, he was the teacher of Mingde Academy, Jiang Yueyin.
Li Yu hasn't seen Lin He since he became his disciple.
The scholar from Linhe High School did not show up either, but I didn’t expect him to show up now.
And with Qu Xiangbai.
"Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I've been hearing a lot about Madam's name lately."
Hmm? What's her name? Is she famous?
"Master, you're joking."
After that, Li Yu turned to Qu Xiangbai and said, "Sir, you came to me regarding the library. Have you come to any conclusion?"
"Madam, your guess is correct. Many people haven't been able to sleep well recently because of what you mentioned."
Qu Xiangbai was not wrong. He brought up this matter, and His Majesty also thought it was a good idea.
As a result, they were opposed by most people in the court, as this collection of books was the accumulation of several generations.
How could they just take it out? Wasn't the family's heritage supported by its collection of books? Of course they disagreed.
Use your own things to cultivate the poor to be on par with you.
Only a fool would do that.
"That's what I said."
Li Yu could only reply dryly.
We argued for several days but there was no result.
At this time, King Xian Xiao Ying, who had been indifferent and lazy in the court, stood up.
"Brother Emperor, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should tell you."
"Speak now. Since you are standing in the court, you have the right to express your thoughts."
If Lin He were standing here, he would probably recognize at a glance that this person was his teacher.
"What you all fear most is that your family's status will be jeopardized if your collection of books gets out.
I just want to say that you are really overthinking it. The growth of a family has little to do with a few crappy books.
Even if I showed it to them, what would it matter? Is there nothing else a young man from a noble family can do except study?
Are the Six Rites just for show? Do farmers learn them?
So everyone, please don’t worry about just one or two books, of course if you still don’t agree.
So, when someone takes out a book and returns it to you after printing, the new print will be marked with the publisher's name.
This will also let people who read this book know who helped them. Do you think they will be grateful to you?
For example, when the Cui family of Qinghe took out the Zhou Li, they directly marked it when printing the book: This book comes from the gift of the Cui family of Qinghe. Every book must be marked.
How about letting all the candidates in the country know that it was your family who helped them.
Of course, after deducting costs, 50% of the net profit from book sales will still belong to you."
He said so much in one breath, and everyone in the court was shocked. Is this still their King Xian who eats everything without leaving any residue and is incompetent in everything?
What a clever idea!
It immediately caught the weak spots of many fame-seeking people.
What do aristocratic families lack the most?
Name, fame.
How could they not be tempted by such a great thing?
"What do you think of this, my dears?"
Emperor Wu, who was sitting at the top, spoke.
The crowd was obviously not as opposed as before, but no one wanted to be the first to speak out.
"I think His Royal Highness Prince Xian's idea is excellent. This is a win-win situation. It can also cultivate more talents for Tianqi."
The Prince Cheng who stepped out to speak was Xiao Hongshen's father and Emperor Wu's cousin.
This man is a smart one. Although he is not as capable as his two sons, he firmly believes that he will have a good life if he follows the right person.
So he was Emperor Wu's most loyal supporter, and he had long seen Emperor Wu's impatience with these people.
Isn't it time for him to show his abilities? He immediately stood up.
"I, a humble official, am willing to contribute my humble efforts and offer the lower part of the Zhou Li."
As soon as he said this, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Some things can be discussed privately, but they must never be said in the court.
I don't want to offend certain people, but I also can't offend His Majesty.
