Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty: Thirty Thousand Books

The next day, Zhao Yan issued an imperial decree.

Pan Wenyue, the governor of Shuzhou, ordered Pan Wenyue to formulate the results of the new policy for the year in Shuzhou, and go to Beijing to report the results, and will announce the results to the world.

At the same time, Zhao Yan also sent several actuarial officials from the Secretariat who were good at actuarialism to Shuzhou to assist Pan Wenyue.

This achievement is to give the people of the Great Zhou a reassurance, to make civil and military officials and those great merchants completely believe in the benefits of the new policy, and to let the surrounding countries see what the Great Zhou will look like after the new policy.

Pan Wenyue naturally knew the importance of this achievement and immediately submitted a memorial saying that he would go to Beijing to report on the achievements of the new policy in Shuzhou in a month.

Another day, Northern Mengdatuzhou.

In the center of the most prosperous streets in Datuzhou, there is a library about four floors high, called Daqing Library.

This library is the largest library opened by Liu Qing in Beimeng. In the past few days, Dazhou's books have been sold crazy.

Except for some dialects in which Northern Mongolia and Great Zhou were not incompatible, they spoke Chinese, so knowledge was easy to integrate.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Northern Mongolia was even larger. Although there were not many literate people, the rich nobles admired Ergu very much, so under Ergu's orders, they began to buy books frantically.

At this moment, Liu Qing was drinking tea in the back hall of Beimeng Library. The shopkeeper at the counter ran over excitedly and said, "Boss, a wealthy businessman in Beimeng wants to buy 30,000 books from us. This is the book he listed. He said he must see you before he will buy it."

"Thirty thousand volumes? This is not a small amount."

Liu Qing quickly stood up, then took the bibliography and looked closely. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there are also Spring and Autumn Guliang Chuan, Bao Puzi, Poetry Collection, Mr. Yiwen’s Collection, and Beidu Yinghua Records.

These books are all common books on the market. Liu Qing has book versions of these books, so they are printed very quickly, not to mention that he has a lot of inventory.

"Go out and meet him." Liu Qing said.

A moment later, Liu Qing and a middle-aged man appeared in a private room with a bearded man.

The middle-aged man with big beard looked at Liu Qing with a contempt and said, "I am Xiratwu. I heard that you are the largest merchant of the Great Zhou Dynasty in my Northern Mongolia."

Silatwu, the richest businessman in Datuzhou, was also related to Ergu, so he was very noble in the Northern Mongolian area. He also had tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and he had a very status and reputation in Datuzhou.

"I have long been revered to Daming and Daming for a long time. My business is far worse than Lord Silatwu!" Liu Qing said with a smile.

Sirat said with a hint of pride, "You have read the bibliography just now. In half a month, you must transport all these books to my warehouse!"

Liu Qing rolled his eyes and said, "It's no problem for half a month, but how should we pay this deposit?"

"Download? I have never paid any deposit in business for so many years. As long as your books are shipped to my warehouse, I can give you all the money after I count it!"

"This...this...it seems a bit inappropriate!" Liu Qing said with some embarrassment. Doing business like this does not conform to his previous rules.

"Isn't it right? If you don't do it, someone will definitely do it!" Sirat immediately stood up.

Liu Qing thought for a while and said, "Do, do it, after half a month, you will pay the money and deliver the goods."

"Okay, you can just pull the books here that day." Sirat put down a note and then strode outside.

Liu Qing and the counter shopkeeper took him to the gate and watched him disappear in the distance in the carriage.

Liu Qing has always been very polite to treat his own merchants.

"Boss, what if we don't keep our promises after we pull the books over and swallow our books with the trick of stealing the wrongs? The man Silatwu has a very good reputation in Datuzhou." The counter shopkeeper said with some concern.

Liu Qing waved his hand to him and said, "Shopkeeper Bai, you don't need to think too much. Now we have the Great Zhou court to support us, and Bei Meng is not my Great Zhou opponent. If he dares to embezzle this book, His Majesty will definitely not let these people take advantage of it."

"I hope I'm thinking too much!" The counter shopkeeper walked into the counter. He suddenly realized that now was no longer the era when the Northern Mongolian general bullied the Great Zhou.

The reality now is that if the Great Zhou did not take the initiative to attack Beimeng, Beimeng would burn incense.

When Liu Qing heard the words of Manager Bai, he was actually a little worried, but when he thought that Bei Meng was no match for the Great Zhou, he couldn't help but feel confident again.

Even though he was in Northern Mongolia, as a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was not so easy to bully.

At this moment, it was very luxuriously arranged in a house paved with countless animal skin blankets.

Silat leaned against a recliner, gnawing on a greasy lamb leg. On one side, his eleven concubines were standing respectfully on one side, waiting for the call, while on the other side, his eight sons and twelve daughters were playing and playing.

In fact, he has exceeded the plan for having more children by Ergu, and he is also one of the very few noble businessmen in Northern Mongolia.

The housekeeper next to him held an account book and said, "Master, do we really want to buy 30,000 books? Most of the books of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are bitter and difficult to understand. Wouldn't 30,000 books be read for several lifetimes, and it also costs a lot of money!"

Silat snorted coldly and said, "This time, I want Liu Qing to give me all 30,000 books. I won't give him a penny. In my northern Mongolian territory, how can he be arrogant!"

"Master, I...I heard that he has a lot to do with Dazhou's wealth! Will we do this..."

"Don't worry, Master, I've been in business for one or two years. I have my own plans in my heart. I want him to eat coptis chinensis if I have any pain."

After saying that, he chewed the leg of lamb and said to the dozen concubines opposite him: "The third, the fifth, the seventh, the eighth, the four of you will accompany the master tonight. We have to have a few more children. Only in this way can I become truly strong."

"Yes, lord!" several concubines said at the same time. In their eyes, they lived for Sirat.

Soon, on the 12th day, Liu Qing prepared 30,000 books and temporarily placed them in a warehouse in Datuzhou, and waited for three days before handing over.

He had twenty printing workshops in Beimeng, and all kinds of book editions were available. Therefore, when multiple printing workshops started at the same time, the speed was very fast, and with some books in storage, he easily completed the task.
