Recently, these great families have been spying on secretly, but they have not been able to get useful information.

And on this day, Cui Zhiji went to Lu Guogong's Mansion as a guest again.

Cui Zhiji has been in Chang'an City for three years, and the number of times he has been to the Lu Guogong Mansion in the previous three years is probably not as much as these few days.

Cui Zhiji has relatives with Lu Guogong's mansion, because Lu Guogong's wife is from Cui's family and is Cui Zhiji's aunt.

If you calculate it this way, Cui Zhiji and Cheng Chuliang are of the same generation.

However, Cui Zhiji did not get any useful information from the Lu Guogong Mansion.

Because of this matter, in the entire Lu Guogong Mansion, only Cheng Chuliang knew the truth.

Others, even Cheng Zhijie and Mrs. Cheng, didn't know the details of this.

Of course, Cui Zhiji is not stupid, he can faintly feel that there seems to be the shadow of His Royal Highness King Liang in this.

And Cheng Chuliang and King Liang are very close, so every time he comes to Lu Guogong's mansion, Cui Zhiji will look for Cheng Chuliang.

However, because the time was not good before, and Cheng Chuliang knew that Cui Zhiji was scheming, and he had a bad stomach.

If you don't do it, you will be taken away by him, so Cheng Chuliang doesn't talk to Cui Zhiji at all, which makes Cui Zhiji have nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, this time Cui Zhiji came to Lu Guogong's mansion, and this time Cheng Chuliang actually invited him into his study, saying that there was a treasure for him to appreciate.

This time, there may be a chance!

Cui Zhiji quietly followed Cheng Chuliang to his study, and found that there were indeed many books in the study, but these books were all new, and there was no trace of turning them at all.

After coming to the study, Cheng Chuliang sneakily took out a folding fan and said to Cui Zhiji: "Cousin, this Spring Palace on this folding fan, but please ask a famous artist to paint it, look at this painter!" ”

At this time, Cui Zhiji's eyes were already attracted by a pile of papers on the desk.

These papers are white and well-proportioned, not the kind of goods sold on the market at all, but basically the same as the paper of the books sold in Tianyi Bookstore.

Cui Zhiji's heart couldn't help beating a few times.

Then, he casually commented on the Spring Palace diagram a few times, and asked Cheng Chuliang quietly, "Cousin, where did you buy these papers?" This texture is much better than the paper sold on the market, and the price must be very expensive, right? ”

Cheng Chuliang couldn't help laughing and said, "Cousin, you are wrong!" These papers are all produced by the eldest grandson's family, and the price is very cheap because the process has been improved. The cost of these papers is only one-tenth of the cost of paper on the market at most! ”

What the?

Cui Zhiji was suddenly shocked by this news!

The cost of this paper is only one-tenth of that on the market!

In other words, the cost of their books is not as much as they guessed, not fifteen hundred dollars at all, at best only one hundred and fifty dollars!

No wonder they dare to sell for five hundred dollars and produce so much every day!

As soon as I thought of this, I heard Cheng Chuliang say casually: "Cousin, I also heard that the eldest grandson's family has even improved the printing technology. When they heard about movable type printing, they carved out a template of word by word, pieced together and printed, and could be used repeatedly. ”

"In this way, the cost of the template is greatly saved. The printing speed is also very fast, and according to them, the cost of printing a book is about one-tenth of that of traditional printing! ”

Rumble!

This sentence slashed into Cui Zhi's body like a thunderbolt.

This!

Their cost is not even one hundred and fifty yuan, only fifteen or sixteen yuan, and it will not exceed thirty yuan at the top!

No wonder, no wonder they had the confidence to sell for fifty dollars in the first place.

And then the price was raised to 500 Wen, which was actually pit their big families.

Now, each of them has about 50,000 or 60,000 books.

These books really fell into my hands.

Thinking of this, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but feel a chill.

It turned out that the emperor had calculated everything.

This time, the emperor is determined to rectify their family, right?

At this moment, Cui Zhiji's face was extremely ugly.

Seeing that Cui Zhiji's face was wrong, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but ask with concern: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Cui Zhiji took a deep breath, and suddenly, he suddenly made a decision.

The next moment, Cui Zhiji stood up, bent down and gave Cheng Shiliang a deep look, and said, "Cousin, this time, you must save me!" ”

Cheng Chuliang hurriedly helped Cui Zhiji up and said loudly: "Cousin, you say, who wants to harm you?" If I can't beat his, he will be considered clean! ”

Cui Zhiji glanced at Cheng Chuliang deeply, and then told Cheng Chuliang what several major families had done and the crisis he was in now.

Of course, Cui Zhiji knew that asking Cheng Chuliang these questions was simply asking Yu Blind.

However, Cheng Chuliang confided so much news to himself today, someone must have deliberately asked Cheng Chuliang to reveal it to him.

And this person, most likely, is the current emperor!

Cui Zhiji wants to hear whether there is a turnaround in this matter.

Listening to Cui Zhiji's words, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help laughing and said: "Cousin, I'm too worried, you are really smart and confused!" ”

Cui Zhiji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, I don't know what to say?" ”

Cheng Chuliang laughed and said: "It's very simple, just those mud legs, even if you buy a book, what if you buy a book?" Can their heritage be compared to your thousand-year-old family? What's more, now the admission to the imperial examination is all in the hands of your family. Don't you admit whoever you want? ”

Hey?

It seems to be the same way!

However, this is definitely not what the emperor said to himself, and Cheng Chuliang, how could he think of this?

So, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but ask curiously: "Cousin, you came up with this truth yourself?" ”

Cheng Chuliang smiled slightly: "Of course not, these truths are all the analysis of His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

Cui Zhiji said with a strange expression: "Then His Royal Highness King Liang didn't mention it in front of the emperor?" ”

Cheng Chuliang smiled and shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Liang said that he and the family are cold-hearted, so His Royal Highness will never tell the emperor this truth." ”

After hearing Cheng Chuliang's words, Cui Zhiji's first reaction was ridiculous.

You, a prince, would you have a cold relationship with the family?

"What do you mean by that?"

"His Royal Highness King Liang said that if the crown prince ascends the throne as the emperor, it will probably be the family and their brothers who will have to deal with it. If the family is eliminated, then the prince's target will only be them! And there is a family, so the prince's goal must first be concentrated in the family! ”
