Chapter 659

"Ke'er, what made you think of doing this business? Are you very short of money?"

Li Ke replied.

"Father, after thinking it over, I believe this is a good way to make the Great Tang literary scene flourish rapidly!"

Oh?

Li Er felt a bit gratified.

"It's rare that you are still thinking about the Great Tang's future. Unlike some people, who only know how to calculate their own personal interests all day long. Tell Father, how can the literary scene flourish rapidly?"

Li Ke was overjoyed to receive his father's praise.

He began to speak incessantly.

"Father, the scholars of the Great Tang are mostly resentful and dissatisfied with the current status quo. That's why so many people traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to take the imperial examination before."

This was Li Er's pain point.

He felt heartbroken when mentioning this, but was helpless.

Today on the street, he had also witnessed the intensity of the scholars' aggression.

He nodded in recognition.

Li Ke said.

"I opened the bookstore to find another way for scholars to make a living. Let them earn money to support their families, so they can continue to study with peace of mind."

Li Er approvingly patted Li Ke's head.

"Father is very gratified that Ke'er can think this way. But can you really make money doing this?"

Li Er still had lingering fears about the low book prices in Great Qin.

At such low prices, the Great Tang absolutely couldn't do it.

How could Li Ke open this bookstore?

Li Ke gave a silly smile.

"Father, paper can be cheap grass paper, and we can find people to copy books at a low price. The price of such hand-copied grass paper books can also be very low.

The selling price of the finished books will also be much cheaper than the one thousand taels of silver per book that Zhangsun Wuji paid!"

Mentioning that time when Zhangsun Wuji spent a full one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy one hundred books, Li Er was fuming.

With Zhangsun Wuji's extensive experience, he was actually tricked so miserably by Qin Mu!

Li Ke bringing up this matter was clearly also extremely dissatisfied with Zhangsun Wuji.

"Father, you don't know how popular this kind of new-style novel is? I have already released several sets here, and each set is selling well, and I have earned some money.

Once new-style novels flourish in the future, our Great Tang will have hope!"

At first, Li Er was very appreciative of Li Ke's approach.

However, upon hearing the last sentence, his face collapsed instantly.

"What, do you think the Great Tang has no hope right now?"

Li Ke was startled and knelt down with a thud.

"Father, that's not what I meant. I just feel that all of Great Qin's policies seem so perfect. By comparison, the Great Tang indeed still has a lot of room for improvement.

I am just anxious for the Great Tang's future."

The more Li Er listened, the worse his expression became.

This rebellious son seemed to have made Qin Mu his idol!

How could this be?

"Ke'er, I warn you, close the bookstore immediately and go home to be your Prince Wu honestly!" Li Ke was stunned.

Why?
