Chapter 302: Teach the prince

  Chapter 302 Training the Prince

Qin Lang, who was the first chief examiner of the imperial examinations in the Zhenguan Dynasty, with only a little lamp oil, won the praise of scholars all over Chang'an. Lang invites people's hearts.

   It's just that Qin Lang didn't care at all.

  After this night, Duke Yi's mansion now sends people to push a cart full of lamp oil every night, and take to the street to add lamps to the scholars who read at night in Pingkangfang.

  The four-character cry of adding lamps and refueling is almost a perfect match with the sound of clappers, and it becomes a scene in Pingkangfang, which is also a unique thing in Chang'an.

  A few days later, Qin Lang simply asked the mansion to prepare wontons every night and take them to the street with the oil truck, so he lit up lamps for the scholars in front, followed by presenting a big hot and fragrant wonton.

   After this offensive, it actually didn’t cost much. After all, it’s really nothing to the Duke of Yi’s mansion today, but scholars have become more and more fond of Qin Lang, and everyone rushed to praise him.

  So when Qin Lang formally presented his request at the court meeting, and the Donggong Chongxian Hall wanted to call the world's famous Confucianists to practice the justice of the Nine Classics, the scholars in Chang'an did not object.

   And when another news spread among the people, saying that Qin Lang wanted to study bamboo paper, ink, and printing technique, to lower the price of paper and ink, and to lower the cost of books, they all praised him unanimously.

   Chang'an's five surnames and seven families, Guanxi Jiangnan and other famous noble families wanted to object, but found that more Chang'an scholars had already overwhelmingly supported Qin Lang.

   Bachelor Qin, we support you!

  Wang Siye officially moved to Chongxian Library to work and live, helping with books in the library all day every day. Qin Lang is now going to reorganize these royal books, and he found that since the Jin Dynasty, he changed the six chapters to four, and classified books according to four.

  What Qin Lang has to do now is to subdivide the four volumes into categories, for example, according to the subdivision method of Siku Quanshu, divide them into four volumes and 44 categories.

  For example, the Ministry of History collects all history books, and then divides them into 15 major categories, including official history, chronicles, chronicles, miscellaneous histories, alternative histories, edict memorials, and biographies.

Under each major category, it is further subdivided into different numbers of genera, such as biography, which is divided into five categories: sages, celebrities, general records, miscellaneous records, and other records. , Military and political affairs, laws and regulations, examination and engineering six categories, etc.

   Qin Lang came to classify books at this time, but he was actually very ambitious.

   After all, Chengqian is still very young, but he already has a slight reputation. After all, Chengqian is young and has no access to actual government power, but his reputation must continue to be built. Although poverty alleviation can gain reputation, it is limited.

  So he thought about it, since there is a Chongxian Pavilion in the East Palace, he should start with culture.

   Calling the world's famous Confucians into the Chongxian Hall to teach direct bachelors. This is to recruit famous Confucian masters, and at the same time to practice the nine classics of justice, which is also a good way to gain reputation.

  Of course, the justice of the Nine Classics is only a part of the plan. If there is a chance, in the future, we will sort out all the books in the world, compile a project such as Siku Quanshu and Yongle Canon, that will be called amazing.

  However, the scale of the plan is too large, so we can only start with small things first, and we can't make it so big right away.

  So it’s not bad to make a library catalog first, and organize the existing books first.

  Because Chengqian is rich now, it is easy and convenient to do things. Donggong can do it himself.

  Qin Lang discussed with Cheng Qian, and Cheng Qian also fully supported Qin Lang's plan.

  Wang Siye was actually only one person who benefited from Qin Lang’s new plan. In fact, Donggong Chongxian Hall was already recruiting a large number of scholars in Beijing, recruiting them to the Chongxian Hall to sort out books and re-edit and transcribe.

   After the ink technology is successfully improved, printing can begin. At that time, these scholars can be responsible for writing and proofreading.

  The treatment offered by Donggong is very good.

Food and lodging included, and a good monthly salary, not to mention access to many precious royal collections of books, and the opportunity to meet famous Confucian scholars gathered from all over the world. Cheng Qian also obeyed Qin Lang's teachings, even though he was only nine years old However, he was very polite to these Changpiao scholars who came to work in the East Palace, and respected the virtuous corporals, so the prince's virtuous name was promoted again.

Ever since Pei Ju made a secret agreement with Qin Lang, now he is still doing his best to support the crown prince and Qin Lang. On various occasions, he publicizes Qin Lang's prudence and maturity, and the wisdom and kindness of the crown prince Chengqian. Those who don't know, just listen to the old man. In Pei's words, he really thought that Crown Prince Chengqian was a sage born once in a thousand years.

  Whether people believe it or not, Li Shimin is very happy every time he hears it.

Praising the prince for being wise and kind made him happier than praising him. Qin Lang also praised the prince every day in front of the emperor. Qin Lang mainly praised the prince for his benevolence and filial piety. Recruiting famous doctors from all over the world, buying folk medical books and prescriptions with a lot of money, invited many famous doctors to start sorting out these medical books and prescriptions, to compile a compendium of Materia Medica in the Tang Dynasty, to find a good prescription for the queen to eradicate old diseases, and to benefit the people of the world.

  When Qin Lang said something, it was completely different from what others heard and saw.

  For example, the newly built Huimin pharmacy in Donggong has opened several in Chang'an. It is large in scale, has a lot of medicinal materials, and the doctors who attend the consultation are also very famous.

   Originally, this incident caused dissatisfaction among many owners behind the Chang'an Pharmacy Clinic, but now Qin Lang said that the prince wanted to benefit the people, and was a benevolent and filial person.

  Who dares to say no?

Even the fact that the East Palace recently recruited thousands of medical examiners who failed in the medical examinations of the Ming Dynasty, and then the East Palace paid to send them to the Imperial Medical Office to study medicine, Qin Lang's statement is that the crown prince is worried about the people of the Tang Dynasty, and hopes that these medical examinations will be successful in the future. After the child has completed his studies, he can cure diseases for more common people.

  Of course, in fact, this is just one of Qin Lang's plans to build the crown prince's reputation, and he also takes money into account while building his reputation.

  After all, these days, although every family in the pharmaceutical industry pretends that they would rather make the medicine on the shelf dusty, and hope that the family will be disease-free, the fact is that the pharmaceutical industry is a profiteering industry in any era.

  Qin Lang asked Donggong to step in because he was interested in the huge profits in this industry, and Donggong has the strength to enter the pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, it can slightly suppress the current profiteering industry. Qin Lang's plan is to develop a large-scale industry in order to reduce the cost of medicine, especially the cost of medicinal materials.

Increase the supply of medicinal materials for some common diseases, lower their prices, and benefit more people. At the same time, enter the high-end health care industry and develop some expensive health care medicines, or some women's beauty products, such as fragrant bath beans, fragrant Powder, perfume and so on.

  Using the money earned in the high-end market to subsidize ordinary products, you can still make a lot of money, and you can suppress the ordinary medicinal material market by the way, and give the common people some practical benefits.

  Now the East Palace under Qin Lang's actual presidency is like a catfish, jumping into the sardines, stirring up the sardines that were originally stagnant.

  Qin Lang made a name for Chengqian and made money for the East Palace, but at the same time he didn't forget to make a fortune for himself.

The Qin family has secretly opened a perfume workshop and a soap workshop. The perfume workshop relies on the exclusive secret of the Qin family's distilled alcohol, and then develops it with various spices to become an exclusive product, and then enters into a supply and marketing relationship with the Prince's Huimin Pharmacy , Let Donggong Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau become an agent.

   Soap is even simpler, but the Qin family's soap is much more advanced than the bath beans processed from flour and other things in this era.

   Especially for the mid-to-high-end market, it has a bright future.

   Just look at the rush to buy the first batch of Qin family's perfume and soap after they were put on the shelves in three Huimin pharmacies in the three cities of Chang'an.

And through these two explosive products, many high-end medicines in Huimin Drugstore are now also promoted, such as deer blood wine, ginseng wine, Wuliangye, and various medicinal wines are deeply loved by those noble officials. The Qin family took advantage of the trend The various beauty products launched to those ladies, officials, husbands, and wealthy businessmen's wives are selling very well, what pearl powder mask, what sunscreen...

   It can only be said that women of any era love beauty equally!

   Making money is like running water.

  Looking at the report Qin Lang gave him, Cheng Qian couldn't help but keep laughing.

"Currently, I have asked people to discuss cooperation plans with many aristocratic and wealthy families in Beijing. While our Huimin Pharmacy is making money, we have also selected some nobles and aristocratic families with good relationships to cooperate with. We purchase medicinal materials from them. They also board our boat and make money together.”

  Eating alone will not lead to good results, Qin Lang already knew this.

  So as soon as the Huimin Pharmacy appeared, it had a huge impact on the original traditional pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, Qin Lang immediately chose some large medicinal material suppliers in the pharmaceutical industry to discuss cooperation.

  The benefits of the source of medicinal materials are given to them. Donggong controls the terminal market. One after the other, everyone earns money together, and Donggong does not monopolize it.

  However, in comparison, Donggong’s strong insertion still broke the original market balance, but the problem now is that they either work together to make a fortune together, or they each rely on their own abilities.

  So some of the wealthy families behind the medicinal material merchants who received the invitation to board the ship from the Eastern Palace have no choice. If you don’t accept it, the Eastern Palace can send cooperation invitations to other medicinal material merchants immediately, and you will be out of the game.

  Facing such a powerful force as the Eastern Palace, it is useless for you to object.

   So either get rich together or you'll be the one left behind.

  The partners selected by Qin Lang are all the most proud people in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

   As for those who were not selected, they were either the oppressed old nobles or the feared old gentry. Qin Lang didn't take them to play, it was nothing but political correctness.

  Anyway, after Li Shimin knew about this, not only was he not even half dissatisfied, but he talked to Empress Changsun privately about how well it was done. Empress Changsun reminded the emperor that Chengqian was only nine years old, and it was not a good thing for Donggong to have so much money and so many properties now.

  So Li Shimin sent a message to Qin Lang the next day, asking Qin Lang to return the 200,000 yuan capital, and even asked for 60% of the shares in Huimin Drugstore.

  Qin Lang asked his servant to bring the 100,000 banknotes from the Kaiyuan Bank to Li Shimin on the same day, and brought back a sentence, saying that the Huimin Pharmacy had just been built and is just getting started.

  "Yi Guogong said that Huimin Pharmacy will give 10% of the dry shares to His Majesty, participate in dividends every year, and the money will go into the internal treasury. 10% of the dry shares will be given to the queen for the harem expenses."

  Li Shimin listened, and smiled at Empress Changsun, "What did I say, this kid won't be so honest. What's the meaning of this dry stock?"

"Yi Guogong said that dry shares can enjoy the dividends of the pharmacy, but they cannot participate in the operation and decision-making of the pharmacy. The dry shares are the right to dividends. The pharmacy also has personal shares, which are shares for shopkeepers and doctors, and the personal shares only have the right to dividends. , does not enjoy the share of the pharmacy."

   "This guy is still watertight, and his defenses are very tight."

Empress Changsun also couldn't help smiling, "It seems that Qin Sanlang is afraid that we will ruin his golden rooster, so now he is only willing to give the eggs on time, and refuses to let us take care of the chickens. Well, 20% is 20%, we agree. "

   "Two achievements are agreed, and it's too cheap for him." Li Shimin said.

   "It's embarrassing for us fathers and mothers to **** things from our nine-year-old son." The eldest grandson smiled.

   Li Shimin laughed loudly, "It's only natural for me to take my son's things, and no one can say anything."

   "However, Qin Lang has to return the remaining 100,000 coins to me. It can be later, but he has to. Anyway, he has a lot of ideas to make money!"
