Li Shimin was very happy to sign a document with Li Mingda, which clearly handed over all the copyrights of Li Shimin to Li Mingda. At first, Li Shimin was very happy, but he thought he had made a profit.

But what no one expected was that on the next day, Li Shimin's books began to explode in Li You's bookstore.

After all, it is the emperor's books. Many people almost always buy Li Shimin's books when they go to Li You Bookstore. The books are also rich, including poems, proverbs, and inscriptions. These things have been loved by readers.

Li Shimin's book called "The Emperor's Word" sold 10,000 copies in three days. Li Mingda then found Li You and made a big fuss, asking for priority printing of Li Shimin's "The Emperor's Word". If Li You were unwilling, Li Mingda would pester Li You and refuse to let go.

Li You had no choice but to follow his younger sister's wish. In just seven days, "The Emperor's Word" printed 50,000 copies, and sold them all. Li Mingda made a lot of money.

At first, Li Shimin didn't know that Li Shimin was in the palace after all, and he was not very clear about the outside world. If he ordered to investigate, Li Shimin would quickly find out. However, if Li Shimin was indifferent, there were some things that Li Shimin did not know as fast as the ministers outside.

On this day, the great scholars gave lectures with Li Shimin.

It is to discuss knowledge together. Confucianism usually occurs once every seven days, and the place where the scriptures is preached is Chunshou Palace. This Chunshou Palace is the coolest place in the entire palace. The monarch and ministers sat on the cushion in the hall and began to explain the Confucian scriptures one by one, and they also expressed their opinions and understandings.

It's a good academic discussion.

However, the classics of today have not begun, and Li Shimin has not arrived yet, and several great scholars have already started chatting enthusiastically.

"Kong Jijiu... You made a big profit this time. I heard that your personal books are not counting as "The Justice of the Five Classics". Alas, how many pens have been taken."

The one who spoke was Du Zhenglun.

On this side, Kong Yingda heard Du Zhenglun's words and laughed: "Your Highness the King of Qi is determined and sent a hundred stagnant of money... This is only a few days' money, oh... After I sent it, I didn't know whether I should accept it, but Your Highness the King of Qi is too polite. You can't accept it. Moreover, Your Highness the King of Qi said that my books are sold well, and I will increase the printing in the future, so that I can write more books that inspire scholars' reading.

I am writing behind closed doors now... I hope some of my experiences can help my students in the Tang Dynasty avoid detours."

"Old Du...you have sold a lot, how much did you get?" Zhang Xuansu looked at Du Zhenglun and walked over and asked.

"I only have 4,000 copies and I have received about 80 stakes. However, His Highness of the King of Qi said that mine is also printing, and I expect my income to be about 200 stakes in the next seven days."

After saying that, Du Zhenglun looked at Yu Zhining and Fang Xuanling and said, "There are more than 8,000 books by Fang Xiang, and Lao Yu's is even more terrifying. He just passed 12,000 books... It's so scary."

"Haha..." Fang Xuanling sat on his cushion and smiled: "I bought more than 100 guan. I can drink it well once. My salary was taken away by my wife. Now I finally have my own spare money. Thank you, Your Highness, King Qi."

As he said that, Fang Xuanling laughed happily.

"My money was consumed at the exchange office of His Royal Highness Qi. I bought some rock candy, toys, salt, canned food, cola, etc.... My little daughter is so happy...!"

Yu Zhining said with a smile.

"Oh... Old Yu is still clever. Why didn't we expect that I don't want it anymore when I send money to you next time. I want to buy some bamboo paper, candles... rock candy, chocolate." Kong Yingda laughed loudly.

Following the other great scholars, they nodded one after another, and these nods all mean that the things in Li You exchanged were very good.

"What are you talking about..." Changsun Wuji walked in with a smile.

"What about storytelling... Changsun Sikong sold a lot this time...?" Kong Yingda asked with a smile.

"Haha..." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Compared with you, I am a little bitch, and I have published a collection of poems. With the help of You'er, I have published a fourteen-strategic book... I sell it so carelessly... I can only say thank you for You'er, I can get some investment in a month."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji sat down with a smile. At this time, there was joy in the Chunshou Hall. At this moment, Li Shimin also walked in with a smile. As soon as he walked into the hall, Li Shimin felt a joyful atmosphere.

After seeing Li Shimin, everyone stood up to salute. Li Shimin quickly waved to let everyone sit down, followed Li Shimin and smiled: "Everyone is in a good mood today. As soon as I came in, I felt very different from before. Why... What good things are there for you guys?"

"Good things, great things. Everyone has made their own money. Of course everyone is smiling. And it's only seven days' worth of money, and there will only be more in the future."

Changsun Wuji replied with a giggle smile.

"Run money..." Li Shimin on the side was stunned, looking at everyone and asked, "What kind of Run money?"

When Li Shimin asked this, everyone was surprised. Fang Xuanling replied first: "It is to give the copyright to His Highness the King of Qi, and then His Highness the King of Qi will print the book, and then you will get the money.

Ma Zhou wrote the first and second volumes of "The Minutes of the Spring Examination"... He bought nearly 30,000 copies and got 600 guan directly. Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenbian, and we all got 100 to 100 guan.

Everyone’s books are selling well. I remember His Highness Qi said that Your Majesty’s “The Emperor’s Word” sells the best, with more than 60,000 copies. If we calculate it according to our share, it will be at least 1,200 jin.

If he had a split with His Highness the King of Qi, he would have had more than 3,000 guan...!"

"Clam...! I have three thousand guan?" Li Shimin was shocked.

Changsun Wuji continued to smile and said, "This is only seven days' money, and the money will be more. I think... If Your Majesty writes more, one month will be worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."

"50,000 yuan a month...600,000 yuan a year..." After saying that, Li Shimin showed a bitter expression and shouted: "I was cheated, I was cheated, I was cheated by Yizi."

After saying that, Li Shimin stood up and shouted, "Yangqu circulated to see the King of Qi Ganlu Palace..." Then he said without looking back: "Today's Sutra is moved to tomorrow, and I have something to do today."

Looking at Li Shimin who was leaving in a hurry, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, I didn’t know what was going on.

....................................

"Clam...Why is the father so suddenly?"

When Yang Qu announced the imperial edict, Li You was still on the bed. After hearing the imperial edict, Li You didn't care about anything else and got up immediately, and then rushed to the palace with Yang Qu.

After arriving at the Ganlu Palace, Li You felt a little panicked because Li You felt that the atmosphere in the Ganlu Palace was not very good. Li Shimin kept lowering his head and couldn't see the other person's expression clearly.

In this way, Li You came to Li Shimin with a nervous mood and saluted: "Father, my son is here..."

Hearing Li You's voice, Li Shimin looked up and asked, "You'er...how many books have I sold?"

"Ah..." Li You was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "Oh... Father's books are sold very well. More than 60,000 books have been sold, and the people are in a very high mood for purchasing. I think sales will increase later."

"You'er, tell me... what is your cost for these 60,000 books, and how much will you earn?" Li Shimin looked at Li You and asked.

"Well...!" Li You did not hide it: "The cost of a book is about ten cents, but the carvings are more expensive... The others are all fine, but it is difficult to reduce the cost, so you may have to think of other ways."

"Then how much does it cost to sell one?" Li Shimin didn't care about the others, just wanted to know how much it sold.

"Sell a hundred essays... However, I will gradually reduce the price of books. Now 100 essays are very cheap. If the price drops too quickly, I am afraid that other book sellers will not be able to accept it. Then I will try 20% to make pens for the writers, and if there is still 70% of the cost, I will still have 50% of the profit left, because the bookstore is mine and the salesperson in the bookstore is mine, so I can get about 30% of the profit...!"

Li You replied one by one.

At this time, Li Shimin was speechless: "If a person takes your worker and uses your bookstore to only pay the cost, can she earn 90%?"

"Ah..." Li You thought for a moment: "What the father said was Yizi... It's not right. Yizi didn't mean that you signed a document with your father. The last time I gave her the document template, I also said that I would give you 50% of the father. This little guy named Yizi, who is 40%. Except for manual labor, everything else is mine...!"

"You were cheated... I was cheated too. The documents signed by the little villain Yizi directly with me are that everything I have is Yizi's, and the books I will do in the future are also Yizi's. Oh... You'er, I really don't know how much money this is selling books. If Yizi gets 90% of them, how much will she earn 60,000 copies?"

"More than 5,400 guan... This is seven days' income. I think my father's books will be more, so I will make a lot of money... Well... Father, why did you give up all your copyrights and sign all your copyrights in the future?" Li You looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

"Sign it... In the future, as long as the things I wrote are all belong to Yizi. Yizi only needs to publish a book for me. At that time, I thought I had made a big advantage. I heard Wuji and Kong Yingda today... They said you give Runbi, and I knew... Why is this little Yizi so bad...!"

Then, Li Shimin looked at Li You and said, "You'er, you have to help your father. The father finally has some inputs, which can expand the inner school a little bit. Yizi can't do this."

"Uh..." Li You said with some embarrassment: "But, father, you signed the document with Yizi, so I can't say anything...!"

"You'er, are you not helping your father?" Li Shimin showed a lonely expression, and his expression was very sad. Looking at Li Shimin like this, Li You on the side had to say: "Father, it's not that you don't help you, but I really don't know how to help you, but I will talk to Yizi. You can't be like this... What's the ability to deceive your father?"

"That's it, that's...you'er, my father depends on you. Tell Yizi, I don't have more, only 50%..." After saying that, Li Shimin stretched out a palm, and Li You stood there in a daze.
