"Big brother, why are you here! I was trying to find you! ”

After Lao Qi saw Yu Zhiqian, his face was excited.

"Looking for me?"

Yu Zhiqian looked at his younger brother with some curiosity, why is he looking for himself if he has nothing to do? Did he already know about the sale of his paintings?

"Big brother, my father praised you for opening a very good buffet, many brothers are ready to open it, I heard that the fourth brother is also preparing to open one, and he has already chosen a store!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard it, his eyes lit up: "Really? ”

"Big brother, aren't you worried?"

"Worried about what?"

"Big brother, you are the crown prince, originally you invented it, you were praised by your father alone, and now they have opened a buffet This is robbing you of venture capital!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he touched Lao Qi's head and smiled: "Lao Qi, in fact, sometimes, being praised is not necessarily a good thing, and as brothers, everyone should share with each other, not be jealous of others!" ”

After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Lao Qi was stunned, and then felt very ashamed, his eldest brother turned out to be such a high-spirited person, and he didn't even want his father's praise for the sake of brotherhood, who said that the emperor's family has no family affection!

"Big brother, you are really a good person!"

“Σ(⊙▽⊙“a？？ ”

Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, how could he talk well and show himself a good person? I don't want this damn good guy card!

"Oh, by the way, eldest brother, you came just in time, the younger brother bought two copies of Liu Jiajia's "Book Annotations" today! >> You can just give a copy to your eldest brother!

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of Shu brocade that was obviously worth a lot of money from a box that looked very valuable, and then slowly opened it, revealing two thread-bound books inside!

“？？？” Yu Zhiqian was stunned again, what is Lao Qi doing? A box made of golden silk nanmu contains two books wrapped in Shu brocade? The price of the two books is estimated to be not even worth Shu brocade!

"Big brother, these two books were written by everyone Liu himself, but my brother spent a lot of money to buy them!" After finishing speaking, he carefully handed a book to Yu Zhiqian.

Yu Zhiqian just took it and felt a smell of horse urine, no way, the paper in these years has the smell of horse urine, so Yu Zhiqian hates reading, well, it turns out that Yu Zhiqian doesn't like to read either, it's just one more reason.

"This book is expensive?"

Yu Zhiqian picked it up and flipped through it, the words seem to be really good, but they are not so precious, right? It's golden silk nanmu again, and it's Shu brocade!

As a time-traveler in the 21st century, the price of paper books is not expensive at all, so Yu Zhiqian does not have much understanding of the value of books, and there are two rooms of books in the East Palace, so after Yu Zhiqian came here, he did not feel how expensive books were.

"This book costs two hundred taels!"

As he spoke, Lao Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and when the number two hundred taels came out, he was very careless!

"What?"

Yu Zhiqian now suspects that his seventh brother is pretending to be forced, two hundred taels of silver for a book? According to the current calculation of four cents and one pound of rice, two hundred taels is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in the future, 20,000 yuan to buy a book, and it doesn't look like an ancient book, it looks like it has just been written, no matter how you look at it, you feel crazy!

"Big brother, this is Liu's manuscript, of course the price is a bit expensive, the price of the ordinary hand-copied version is cheaper, as long as fifty taels!"

Yu Zhiqian listened to Lao Qi's words, and now he wants to slap himself, what is special about him is a pig, he is really a pig, what kind of buffet do he makes, what do he do with all that miscellaneous stuff, how good is it to publish a book by himself, no, not to publish a book, how good is it to sell books?

Fifty taels of silver for a book? I don't need fifty taels of silver to do movable type printing, and I can't make crazy money for ten taels of silver!

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Yu Zhiqian didn't speak, Lao Qi asked in surprise.

"Seventh, tell me, are books so expensive?"

"Expensive?"

Lao Qi frowned and shook his head: "Big brother, this price is not very expensive!" ”

"Fifty taels is not expensive!"

"Learning is priceless!"

(# ̄~ ̄#) "Lao Qi's 13 outfit is good, Yu Zhiqian wants to give him thirteen likes!"

"Lao Qi, an ordinary book, how much does it cost?"

"Big brother doesn't know?"

Yu Zhiqian nodded, isn't this nonsense, where do you know, you are not a person who loves to learn, and you won't take the initiative to buy books, and you only know the price of books until hell?

Lao Qi thought for a while and then said: "Big brother, the price of a book is not fixed, the cheapest is the kind of rough-made Analects, most of these books are blurred, and most of the buyers are poor students!" ”

"How much?"

"The new book is about five taels of silver! This is the cheapest, generally unless there is really no money, no one will buy it, they are too bad! ”

Lao Qi shook his head as he spoke.

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, this is a business opportunity, a naked business opportunity, the worst books are five taels of silver a piece!

It's no wonder that the children of the ancient poor family couldn't afford to go to school at all, and this special book cost five taels of silver, not to mention the fees that had to be paid when they went to school, not to mention the commoners, even some small landlords' families estimated that they couldn't afford a student!

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Zhiqian let out a long sigh, and then said with some melancholy: "I can't imagine that the price of my Datang books is so high, how can those poor children be able to learn the thoughts of saints, hey!" Sad, sad, my Royal Highness the Prince, it's really sad! ”

"Big brother, it's not your fault!"

"I have tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, but there are very few literate people, as the prince, I must bring down the price of books, so that more children from poor families can read!"

Yu Zhiqian said impassionedly, after the seventh heard it, there were little stars in his eyes, like a little fan brother!

"Big brother, what are you going to do?"

"Well, the eldest brother hasn't thought about it yet, but the seventh brother, the eldest brother needs your help!"

"Big brother, you say, as long as the younger brother can do what he can, the younger brother will definitely help!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he quickly thought in his mind, should he ask Lao Qi to fund himself? However, when he thought of the income in the later period, Yu Zhiqian still held back, once he took the money of the seventh child, he would not give it to the seventh child after making the money, and his appearance would be a little too ugly!

"Old Seven, in this way, you will list the best-selling books to me, and write out some books that are necessary for scientific research!"

"Big brother, this is simple, you wait a minute, I can write it!"

"Uh, do you have a book? Just give me the book! ”

"Okay, big brother, wait a minute, brother will go get it!"

Yu Zhiqian nodded, his heart was already happy, I don't know how many books there are, but he must have saved a sum of money.

"Zhang Xiaojing!"

At this time, Yu Zhiqian called softly, and Zhang Xiaojing, who was originally out of the world, turned his head to look at Yu Zhiqian: "Your Highness!" ”

"Well, you go to find some craftsmen with better carving, it will take about ten people!"

Zhang Xiaojing thought for a while: "Your Highness, if you look for craftsmen in Dongshi, the price is not cheap, but Your Highness, there are many craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and you can ...... them for free."

After Zhang Xiaojing and Yu Zhiqian got along for a while, he was very picky about this Royal Highness the Prince, for His Royal Highness the Prince, what can be handled without spending money is a good thing, once he is allowed to spend money, it is to cut meat.

Although I don't understand why His Royal Highness the Prince of a dignified country is like this, I don't know what he has experienced?

"Great idea!" After hearing Zhang Xiaojing's words, Yu Zhiqian's eyes lit up!

The free labor force of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Zhiqian's eyes narrowed, and he already had an arrangement in his heart, and there was really nothing like power!

At this time, a little desire rose in Yu Zhiqian's heart, why don't you try to become an emperor yourself?

But when he thought of the unfinished official stickers on his father's desk, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous things, Yu Zhiqian couldn't help but feel that he might as well forget it, that kind of life, it was better to kill himself!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the envoy of Jingdu came to the palace to find you?"

"Huh? Jing Ke? What did he come to do? ”

Hearing the report of the seventh guard, Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, is this Jing Ke's brain show funny? Find yourself what to do in Lao Qi's mansion!

"Your Highness, you sent someone to inform the commander of Jingdu to come to you!"

"That's it! What am I looking for him? ”

Yu Zhiqian thought for a while, it seemed to be a case of fraud in the imperial examination, thinking of this, Yu Zhiqian looked around, this is Lao Qi's mansion, and it seems that he is not good at handling things here.

"Forget it, talk to him, let him wait for a while, and then go back to the East Palace with me!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Lao Qi walked out of the house with more than a dozen books: "Big brother, these books are all more common books on the market!" ”

"Huh? So little? ”

"Big brother, these books are all the words of saints, and we can comprehend them all of them!"

Yu Zhiqian didn't dare to agree with Lao Qi's remarks, and thought for a while: "In addition to these books, what other books are more popular?" ”

"The rest of the more popular books?"

Lao Qi's face suddenly turned red at this time: "Big brother, there are still some books, all of them are some novels that are not in the stream!" ”

"Ahem, cough, what is a novel that does not enter the stream? For example? ”

"It's all (se) green books written by some wild histories or some ninth-rate people, and there are some spring (palace) maps!"

Hearing these words, Yu Zhiqian's eyes narrowed, and he roughly understood in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely not do these things, he just wanted to understand the market situation!

"How are these books selling? What is the price? Whether it violates Tang Law! ”

Yu Zhiqian swore that he was just to understand the market situation, and he really had no other ideas, how could a pure and good boy like himself do something illegal and undisciplined? I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I must lead by example!

"Big brother, this, this, I really, really don't know!"

Lao Qi's face became redder and redder, Yu Zhiqian stared at this guy, it seems that this little guy knows, but Yu Zhiqian suddenly became a little interested, I don't know what ancient novels look like? Is it all a golden plum?

Yu Zhiqian can be sure that there must have been more than a golden plum bottle in ancient times, but it has not been handed down, and these cultural treasures cannot be circulated, which is really a big pity!

"Okay, forget it if you don't know, by the way, Seventh, there are still things to deal with for my brother, Commander Jing is still waiting outside for my brother, and my brother will leave first!"

"Big brother, I'll send you!"

"Forget it, you look a little unwell, it's better to rest, old seven, listen to brother, you are still young, don't be too indulgent, it's not good for your health!" After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian patted Lao Qi's shoulder vigorously.

"Ah, big brother!"

"Okay, big brother is gone!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took Zhang Xiaojing and left directly without looking back.

Halfway through, Yu Zhiqian coughed lightly: "Zhang Xiaojing, I asked Lao Qi these things just now, do you know?" ”

Zhang Xiaojing thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, many bookstores are secretly selling these books, although they do not violate Tang law, but they are also immoral, the price of these books is roughly a dozen or two books, most of them are just some rich children's usual pastime playthings!" ”

"Isn't it illegal?"

"Your Highness, there is no clear provision in Tang Lu!"

"It is feasible if there is no prohibition in the law, but ah, these people are still immoral, undermine the harmonious development of the Tang Dynasty, and do not conform to values! Zhang Xiaojing, can you find out, is there anyone in Chang'an who writes such immoral novels? ”

"Come on, you're ready to do this!"

Zhang Xiaojing looked at Yu Zhiqian's expression and demeanor when he spoke, and knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to do, but he was His Royal Highness the Prince, so he could do whatever he wanted, after all, the country belonged to his family!

"Huh? Zhang Xiaojing, do you know? ”

Zhang Xiaojing nodded: "I still know a little, Your Highness, what are you?" ”

"Take someone to catch these tumors, not too much, five or six will do, remember, don't make a noise, quietly, got it?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Xiaojing walked out of the Old Seven Mansions, they saw Jing Ke leaning on the stone lion, staring at the gate of the Seven Kings Mansion in a daze, his astigmatism left eye was a little blank, and the other eye was constantly turning, as if he was thinking about something, and it seemed to be boring to turn his eyes, anyway, ordinary people can't do his kind of expression.

Just when Jing Ke was in a daze, Yu Zhiqian walked out of the mansion without hurry, and after seeing Jing Ke, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically, which was Yu Zhiqian's most enthusiastic time for Jing Ke: "Commander Jing!" You're finally here! ”

"Your Royal Highness forgives your sins, Weichen first went to the East Palace, the guard said that you were in the East City Restaurant, and then went to the restaurant, and then I heard that ......"

"Ahem, cough, that person is here, let's go, go back to the East Palace with me first, it just so happens that I have something to look for you!"

"Your Highness, I'll go to do something first!" Zhang Xiaojing gave Yu Zhiqian a look.

"Go ahead! Go early and come back early! ”

"Whoa!"
