In the Summer Palace, there is a beautifully bound book on top of Li Shimin's imperial throne.

"Your Majesty, this is the "The Wealth of Nations" written by Wang Youcai, which will be sold in Xinhua Bookstore tomorrow."

Although Li Shimin is very busy every day, he still quickly browses newspapers like the "Da Tang Daily".

Today, Li Kuan recommended a book on it with such a big fanfare, and Li Shimin naturally noticed it.

Although "The Wealth of Nations" has not been launched yet, if Li Shimin wants to get it in advance, it is naturally a matter of one sentence.

After all, this book has been printed in a large number now.

Today I am transporting to Xinhua Bookstore.

"Zhi Nu, please read this book, and let me tell you what you think."

Li Shimin just casually read "The Wealth of Nations", and he definitely doesn't have so much time to read it carefully now.

However, he doesn't need to read the general books carefully by himself. It is enough to listen to other people's suggestions and analysis.

If Li Kuan hadn't strongly recommended it in the newspaper this time, Li Shimin would not have paid attention to such a new book.

After all, people who want to write books and generally have more prestigious people.

Even if the publishing industry in the Tang Dynasty has developed rapidly for more than ten years and the threshold for first editions in all aspects has been lowered, it will not fundamentally change this situation.

That Wang Youcai and Li Shimin have also heard of it.

Although it is quite famous in Chang'an City, in Li Shimin's opinion, it is just that.

"Father, my second brother praised the "Wu Fu" so highly in the "Da Tang Daily" that it may cause a lot of criticism.

My son probably won’t be able to get many impeachment memorials in a few days.”

Although Li Zhi had no sense of existence in the court.

But he, the prince, was not completely useless.

In the past two years, he has been studying the situation in the court and the situation of each minister.

I also know the style of the court officials.

Although most officials have some business shops and workshops behind them, they basically look down on businessmen on the surface.

Now that Li Kuan is vigorously promoting a business book, those who study the Four Books and Five Classics all day long will definitely jump out and oppose it.

"If you impeach, just impeach. Haven't your second brother been impeached enough times over the years?"

Li Shimin's words left Li Zhi speechless.

...

Silla Envoy's Office.

Jin Shengqiang got up early this morning.

"Entertainment, I heard that the Chu Palace has prepared tens of thousands of books for the "Wu of the Wealth of Nations". Even if we go later, we will definitely be able to buy it. If we go so early, we may have to queue up."

Jin Dabang has been in Chang'an City for several years, so it is quite clear about the situation here.

"I have been in Chang'an City for so long, and I have found that everything related to His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be dealt with with with all my strength in order to barely regret it. You also read the "Da Tang Daily" yesterday.

Over the years, His Highness the King of Chu has never tried so hard to recommend a book or a professional business book.

Although I don’t know what this book “The Wealth of Nations” is about, which can make His Highness the King of Chu so highly praised, it must be some very extraordinary things in it.

Shenggu has encountered many obstacles in promoting commercial development in Jincheng. Especially the matter of Silla Money House last year has greatly damaged our vitality.

At this time, we should pay more attention to the development of business and cooperation with the Tang Dynasty. From the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, we should find the rules that suit us Silla and introduce them to our Silla."

Jin Shengqiang obviously has very high expectations for "The Wealth of Nations".

Just listening to the name, this is a book that studies how to make a country rich.

For envoys like Jin Shengqiang, whether they are well written or badly, they must study such books just by looking at the name.

As for whether to buy a batch and send it back to China, you have to wait until the study is finished before reading it.

After all, the price of a book is not cheap either.

Considering the transportation costs, Jin Shengqiang really doesn’t buy any books he wants.

"There was no "The Wealth of the Kingdom" before, and the economic development of the Tang Dynasty was also very fast. This shows that the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty was not the credit of the Wealth of the Kingdom."

Jin Dabang's words obviously make some sense.

After hearing this, Jin Shengqiang was stunned for a while.

"You are right, but I guess this book summarizes some experiences and rules from the past development of the Tang Dynasty, and even puts forward some very constructive propositions. This is not allowed for the future development of the Tang Dynasty or the reference significance of our Silla."

Jin Shengqiang is a very qualified envoy.

Since he arrived in Chang'an City, he has been seeking benefits for Silla.

"Since you think it's very instructive, I'll just queue up to buy a few copies first, right?"

The golden stick is still very considerate.

I feel that it’s enough to work hard for me, and there’s no need to work hard for the leader.

"No, I'll experience the popularity of Xinhua Bookstore and can also more intuitively realize the popularity of "The Wealth of Nations".

After Jin Shengqiang finished speaking, he went out and got on the carriage.

However, just as he got on the carriage, he noticed that other envoys nearby seemed to have left one after another.

Is it like myself to leave so early and prepare to go to Xinhua Bookstore?

...

"Shopkeeper Zheng, is Xinhua Bookstore too exaggerated? Is it necessary to hire so many supporters? The crowds in line are blocking Xishi Street."

In Sanwei Bookstore, the guy who had just opened the door of the bookstore returned to Manager Zheng with great pleasure.

"With the appeal of His Highness the King of Chu, these people may not be just a entrusting."

Manager Zheng said with a heavy expression.

Regardless of whether "The Wealth of Nations" is good or bad, anyway, Li Kuan does this, the business of other bookstores will definitely be affected in the next few days.

Compared, everyone's budget for purchasing books is also fixed.

If you spend it on "The Wealth of Nations", you may be reluctant to buy other books.

"These people are too blind, aren't they? They don't know what this book is about, so they come and queue up."

"Hey, there's no way, Your Highness the King of Chu has this charm. Besides, this is the first time he has recommended books to everyone. Anyone who is curious about Your Highness the King of Chu will buy "The Wealth of the Kingdom" and go back to read it.

They have printed tens of thousands of copies at once, and they must be very confident in this book. You might as well line up and buy one and I will take a look at it so that the impact will be evaluated in time."

After a while, Manager Zheng finally decided to let his guy go in and line up.
Chapter completed!
