On the 22nd of April, Song De brought twenty thousand copies of newspapers to the Imperial City.
There were still people in the Imperial City who came out to buy a thousand copies. It was cheap, only three thousand coins.
Song De was just about to open his shop when a man wearing Tubo clothes came over. "I want all of them."
Song De looked at him carefully, wanting to know if he was serious.
"I want all of them. How much do you have? I'll buy all of them." The man waved his hand and a group of people behind him came forward with a lot of cloth.
"What do you mean you want all of them? They are selling newspapers at a loss and you want all of them? Go away, you dare to glare at me? Your Tubo was beaten up by me last year. You dare to glare at me again? "
Without waiting for Song De to speak, a scholar jumped out from the side and shouted at the Tubo man.
After shouting, he took a step back and grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist. With a clang, the sword was pulled out.
"Clang, clang, clang." Several scholars pulled out their swords one after another, looking like they were going to stab him if he was not convinced.
"You still don't allow me to buy things?" The Tubo man was scared and argued.
"You want to buy things? I think you want to cheat Li Dongzhu. "A peddler carrying a pole put down the goods and pulled out his pole.
"Yes, Steward Song said that the cost is twelve coins and the price is only three coins. The Tubo people are bad. When they saw Li Dongzhu making hot air balloons, they were scared."
Someone took off his shoes and was about to throw them over.
"How dare you bully Li Lang?" A woman who looked like she was from Pyong Kang Square said. She took out the hairpin on her head and held it in her hand.
"You, you … Song De, what do you say?" The Tubo man had a knife on him, but he did not dare to touch it.
"I, I can't make the decision. I have to ask Dongzhu." Song De's hand touched his body, as if he wanted to take out something that could hurt people.
One of the Winged Knights loaded the crossbow with an arrow and handed it to Song De. He mounted his horse and ran to report.
Song De held the crossbow and thought for a while, then pointed the arrow at the ground.
The Winged Knights shouted as they ran towards Zhuangzi.
Less than half an hour after Tubo appeared in the Imperial City, a group of Non-commissioned Officer rushed out with the sound of footsteps.
After a while, more featherwood flying cavalry came around from the side.
The Winged Knights who reported the news were very fast. They rushed into Zhuangzi and found Li Yi.
"Dongzhu, there are Tubo people who want to buy all the newspapers, but the people of the Tang dynasty won't let them. They even drew their weapons while talking. Steward Song can't make a decision."
The Winged Knights explained everything in one sentence.
"Well, the Tang dynasty is still the best." Li Yi smiled.
He sighed with emotion. At this time, the Tang dynasty was awesome. The common people were never afraid of outsiders, and many scholars could wield swords.
Even during the An Lushan Rebellion, the civil servants personally went up the city walls to stop the enemy.
More importantly, it was the will of the imperial court that never compromised with foreign countries.
When the officials talked about foreign countries, they would definitely fight, but they would argue about how to fight.
"Dongzhu, are you selling?" The Non-commissioned Officer was anxious.
"They want to sell the newspapers because of my capital. I don't think it's the idea of the Tubo First Bureau.
Tubo, Turkic, there are so many surnames and tribes.
Their scenery is better, right? There are many horses, cows, and sheep. The weather is good, and they can even farm.
Tubo has saffron and many medicinal herbs. Caterpillar fungus is said to have no medicinal effect.
It's just like how the Western countries said ginseng has no effect. Oh, there's also salvia miltiorrhiza, which degrades Chinese medicine to be worthless.
But there's a reason why our Chinese medicine can exist, such as … "
Li Yi mumbled to himself. Suddenly, he stopped and smiled.
"Tell Song De that I'll sell it at noon. Tell him that I'm taking the time to proofread the words, so that some of the words will not destroy the deep friendship between Tang and Tibet.
When I'm done checking and find no problems, I'll sell it to them. The price will not change. "
Li Yi said to the Non-commissioned Officer, giving a dignified reason.
The Non-commissioned Officer did not know what Li Yi wanted to do. After agreeing, he changed to another horse and rode away.
Li Yi jogged to the printing workshop.
"Print another edition. Now the two of you will continue to print. If it's the typesetting, the typesetters will divide it." Li Yi said to everyone.
When everyone heard that they were going to print more, they were happy. They liked to work, and they always felt that they were worse than others if there was no work to do.
The Winged Knights ran back and whispered to Song De.
Song De returned the crossbow and said to the Tubo people, "Dongzhu said that he's afraid that the articles in the newspaper will affect the friendship between the Tubo of the Tang dynasty. Therefore, he wants to check it carefully. When he's done checking and finds no problems, he'll sell it to you."
When the Tubo people heard this, they smiled and looked at the people around them.
Did you see that? Li Yi was afraid that he would write something wrong and make the Tubo people unhappy.
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyeballs out. "Someone immediately shouted and glared back.
The Tubo people quickly turned their gaze to the carriage. They had fewer people and could not win.
And even if they could win, so what? In the end, they would still be killed.
Zhuangzi made good use of the time and printed another eleven thousand copies before noon.
"Send 107 people out. Each person has a workshop. Distribute it and sell it in front of the workshop. Also, tell the others that there are copies in each workshop and not to rob.
Also, tell Song De to sell the newspaper to the Tubo people. It's still three coins per copy. Don't overcharge.
I'll go write the content for tomorrow's newspaper. For the third chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you guys pick the words first. Tomorrow, bring out 100,000 copies at once. "
Li Yi said to everyone that he had set the quantity for tomorrow. He needed more editions to be printed together.
At noon, the Li Family Zhuangzi people were moving quickly. The carriages were carrying people and newspapers. When they reached a place, they put down a person and a pile of newspapers and continued to move.
Song De received the order and said to the people around him: "Zhuangzi has sent people here. There are copies in each workshop. Everyone can go there and buy. The ones here will be sold to the Tubo people."
"Why should we sell? They are obviously trying to cheat you. "
"The original cost is twelve coins. Selling it for three coins. It's a loss."
"Let's kill them. If we kill them, we won't have to sell it."
The people around shouted. The Tubo people were trembling.
"No need. Everyone, hurry up and buy it." Song De was afraid of fighting. Since Dongzhu had agreed, there must be a follow-up plan.
Everyone left unhappily. The Tubo people did not show any signs of complacency. They were afraid that others would come back.
Song De asked people to carry down the bundles of newspapers. He took the money from the Tubo people. 19,000 copies of newspapers were only fifty-seven thousand coins. It was a big loss.
The Tubo people carried the newspapers and left as fast as they could. It was too dangerous outside.
This time, there were people selling newspapers in each workshop. The people who wanted to speculate felt that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to do anything.
In the evening, Li Longji asked Li Yi with concern: "I heard that the Tubo people bought all the newspapers. Did you print another batch and sell it separately?"
"Yes, they want to buy. We are open for business. If we limit the quantity, doesn't it mean that we are incompetent?
Tomorrow, we will print 100,000 copies. 20,000 copies will be sold to the people of the Tang dynasty. As for the other 80,000 copies, we will give it to whoever is willing to buy it. "
Li Yi said his plan. There was no trace of worry on his face.
"Do you have any plans?" Li Chengqi was also concerned.
"I plan to teach the paper workshop around here the technology of making newspapers and let them produce it quickly. I will charge fifteen coins per copy."
Li Yi mentioned that teaching the technology first was a way to buy it from others.
