CHAPTER XXVIII

The Tang Dynasty of Zhenguan for 12 years, ten times is definitely not a small amount of money.

If measured by the most commonly used and most practical price of rice, the grain bought for ten yuan can feed a family for many years, and if it is bought into cloth, it may be able to wear a person for a lifetime.

Even in Chang'an City, where prices are high, ten yuan is definitely not a small number.

So even if the people who followed Fang Yiai to Xinhua Bookstore were the sons of the founding nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the second generation of top officials in Chang'an City, they would be so surprised and angry when they heard that a deck of cards dared to sell for ten yuan - a small box, containing dozens of cards, the price was more expensive than a box of paper?

Isn't this slaughter?

Anyway, when he returned home, Fang Yiai was quite depressed, and couldn't help but find the eldest brother Fang Yizhi who was in the study and complained: "My brothers are all scolding them for being black-hearted, so I don't dare to look up and speak!" A deck of cards sells for ten dollars...... Big brother, what do you mean by King Han? ”

"This ......"

Blinking blankly, Fang Zhizhi couldn't understand what the situation was at all.

"What's wrong with King Han? What are you talking about? ”

couldn't get an answer from the eldest brother, just when Fang Yiai was disappointed, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door, which immediately startled him! Then he turned his head and saw his father's face, and Fang Yiai's heart was panicked again!

Take your friends to buy cards, and you know it with your buttocks, and your dad will definitely scold him to death if he knows it.

But at this time, of course, Fang Yiai didn't dare to run, so he had to hurry up with his eldest brother to salute, and then saw the old man sitting down at the table and frowned and asked, "Yiai, what did you just say?" Something to do with King Han? ”

"This ......"

grinning like a toothache, Fang Yiai secretly said a bad sigh, reluctantly said today's events, and finally carefully added: "Father, they chased me all day long to ask about cards, and I had no choice but to take them to Xinhua Bookstore, but I didn't expect ...... Ahem, in the end, two people bought a pair separately, and the others didn't buy it because it was too expensive. ”

Ten times a pair of cards, Fang Yiai felt that he should not dare to buy it.

In fact, not to mention buying a deck of cards with ten pieces of money, even if you take your brothers to the bookstore today, I'm afraid you will have to be reprimanded by the old man, right?

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Fang Xuanling's face instantly sank, and he scolded angrily: "Nonsense! I know that bookstore, it's just that it's been open quietly for the past two days, and you still bring people there? It's nonsense! ”

The news of the opening of Han Wang's bookstore naturally can't escape Fang Xuanling's ears and eyes.

In fact, he already knew about it when the shop was just down, but firstly, it was a family affair of King Han, and secondly, Fang Xuanling also felt that his son-in-law, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, did not necessarily seem to be a bad thing to do business, so he kept silent.

But what Lao Fang didn't expect was that King Han was quietly silent, but his second son took people to cheer for others with great fanfare!

This bastard thing is just going to infuriate people!

Seeing that Daddy's face was getting more and more ugly, Fang Yiai's pleading gaze immediately drifted towards the eldest brother. And after perceiving his younger brother's eyes for help, Fang Yizhi could only sigh secretly, and habitually began to attract Fang Xuanling's attention for him: "Father, the child also can't understand this matter, since the king is willing to take the cards to sell them in the store, why do you have to set such a high price?" ”

"Hehe, what's wrong with that?"

Fang Xuanling's attitude towards his eldest son was obviously much better, and after his face softened a little, he smiled bitterly: "King Han wants more people to play cards, but he doesn't want people to get it from him...... That's why I simply set a high price of ten dollars, just to make most people know the difficulty and retreat! ”

"Huh?"

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, the two brothers, Fang Zhizhi and Fang Yiai, were stunned at the same time.

What does this mean?

The higher price of solitaire can make some people know that it is difficult to retreat, they understand, after all, such an expensive thing, you can't just ask for a deck casually, right? But what is the matter with King Han wanting more people to play cards?

"What, I don't understand?"

Looking at the two sons, Fang Xuanling shook his head in disappointment, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, if you don't understand, let me think slowly, when you understand, you will know why he is pricing ten times......"

……

Chang'an, the mansion of the Duke of Zhao.

"Father, this is the card!"

After returning home, Changsun Chong rushed to the study as soon as possible, and gave the small cardboard box he had just gotten to Changsun Wuji with both hands, and said with a smile: "I just learned that such a small thing actually costs ten yuan!" Hehe, this King Han is really a wonderful person, a gadget used to pass the time dares to sell it at such an expensive price! ”

"Huh? Ten runs? ”

Even the city government of the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this number, and a rather strange expression appeared on his face.

For Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao Guo, ten guan money is naturally not worth mentioning, but at this time, looking at the small cardboard box in his hand, he really can't understand, why did that King Han dare to set such a high price? !

Not noticing the change in his father's expression, Eldest Sun Chong continued to smile: "Although this is the first time that the children have seen the cards of Han Wangfu, they have also played their own cards before, which is really interesting. Even Changle liked it a lot after playing. ”

Changsun Chong's beloved wife, Princess Li Liqing, is the emperor's favorite eldest daughter, and naturally Li Yuanjia's niece.

Hearing that his daughter-in-law also likes this card, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart moved again.

After weighing the weight of the deck of cards in his hand with his hand, Zhao Guogong looked up and down carefully, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This thing is quite exquisite, it seems that it took a lot of thought, but it is ten dollars...... It's still too expensive! ”

"yes, isn't it?"

Pursing his lips, Changsun Chong smiled and said, "That's why I'm wondering, is that King Han ...... Ahem, isn't life in the house not easy? The year before last, I made a thirteen incense, and now I open a bookstore to sell paper, and I sell this card, so I really don't care about it at all? ”

“……”

After pondering for a while, Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly opened the exquisite carton in his hand and took out the cards inside one by one to take a look. Then when I saw the numbers on the cards, I couldn't help frowning: "Chong'er, what are these?" “

"Back to my father's words, it's called ...... Tianzhu numbers! “

After thinking for a while, the eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "King Han learned it after reading the arithmetic book written by the Tianzhu people, and I heard that he admires these things very much......
