Chapter 199: The Turks Come

During this time, the thousands of Buddhist scriptures accumulated by Linglong Bookstore were quickly snatched up, and even a fight broke out because of this.

The price of one hundred yuan made many onlookers secretly smack, but no one felt that the price was unreasonable. Books are originally luxuries, usually to buy the most ordinary "Analects" costs a lot of money, that is a lot of ordinary people's income a month, these Buddhist scriptures than those rough "Analects" I don't know how many times more beautiful, and these Buddhist scriptures are still the textbooks of the School of All Nations.

In addition to the envoys of Fanbang who frantically snapped up, there are also some people who believe in Buddhism, and they can't help but buy a copy, seeing that in just a short period of effort, a carload of Buddhist scriptures has become hundreds of thousands of pieces of money, and Rao is Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was also stunned for a while.

The speed at which this kind of wealth is amassed is truly terrifying! Those envoys of Fanbang seemed to be rushing to send money one by one.

Seeing Li Chengqian looking at him with a shocked face, Wang Xiang was proud in his heart, but he put on a helpless expression on his face and said: "I'll just say that these Fanbang people are stupid and have a lot of money......

Although Li Chunfeng expected that Wang Xiang's shot would be extraordinary, he still didn't expect it to be so amazing, hundreds of thousands of yuan, not to mention ordinary people, it is also a huge amount of money for the family.

"This ...... I'm afraid there must be hundreds of thousands, right? ”

Seeing Li Chengqian's eyes flashing with golden light, Wang Xiang knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "These Buddhist scriptures are all from Linglong Bookstore, whose industry is Linglong Bookstore, His Royal Highness the Prince should know very well, right?" ”

The golden light in Li Chengqian's eyes dissipated when he heard this, and he naturally knew that Linglong Bookstore was the property of Empress Changsun.

"You're saying that these sutras are from Linglong Bookstore?"

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, so you don't have to envy me." The queen should be envious. ”

Of course, Wang Xiang will not tell Li Chengqian, and Linglong Bookstore also has a share.

Although the hardcover version of the sutra looks luxurious and exquisite. But the cost of dying is a little higher than that of ordinary books. In other words, because of advanced papermaking technology and movable type printing technology, the actual cost of printing these sutras is not as high as the cost of printing an ordinary book in other bookstores.

The sum of all the Buddhist scriptures is only a few hundred times less than the cost, and compared with the income of hundreds of thousands of times, it is simply not worth mentioning, and Wang Xiang has long been happy in his heart.

After the Buddhist scriptures were sold out, those envoys of Fanbang were concerned about the admission quota of the Academy of All Nations, after all, this was their main goal.

"I don't know what Jiayuanhou likes?"

"This is a small gift that our Khitan prepared for the Marquis of Jiayuan, and I hope this little brother will pass it on on my behalf."

"We in Baekje also prepared a small gift for Jiayuan Hou, and. Our most beautiful Kamel girl in Baekje admires the Marquis of Jiayuan very much, and I hope to have a long talk with the Marquis of Jiayuan......"

"We Silla ......"

Words like these faintly reached Wang Xiang's ears, which made him feel a burst of joy in his heart, and he believed that these small gifts would definitely add up to far more than the money he could get from selling Buddhist scriptures.

Just when Wang Xiang was secretly happy, and Li Chengqian and Li Chunfeng shook their heads and sighed, a soldier suddenly came in to report.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Turkic mission has arrived outside the city, in addition to Tulu, the first warrior of the Turks, the little prince of the Turks, Prince Barto and Princess Danqi'er have also come."

Li Chengqian was refreshed when he heard this, put down his wine glass and said to Wang Xiang: "The Turks are finally here, Zixin will go with me to greet you." ”

This is the first time since the Tang Dynasty that the Turks have come to participate in the Great Pilgrimage. For Datang, this is the most high-brow court meeting, Li Er asked Li Chengqian to be in charge of all matters of the court meeting, no wonder he is so excited.

There are only two days left until the Great Pilgrimage. The missions of various countries had already arrived in Chang'an ahead of schedule, and only the Turks were late, apparently pretending to show their differences. Seeing that Li Chengqian was going to personally greet the Turkic mission, he shook his head and said: "You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks are just the defeated generals of our Tang Dynasty, why does a small mission need the prince to greet them personally, just send someone to go." ”

After speaking, he continued to snort and sip on the hot pot, Li Chengqian saw that Wang Xiang looked indifferent, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face: "This is not good, my father has explained that this year's Great Dynasty Meeting must not lose the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks are different from those small countries outside, after all, they are the most powerful countries in the Western Regions, and the little princes and princesses of the Turks also came together." ”

Wang Xiang glanced up at Li Chengqian and asked, "So what?" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and Wang Xiang continued to ask: "Who is stronger and who is weaker than the Turks and the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Naturally, Datang is strong!"

"Compared with the little prince and princess of the Turks, whose identity is more noble than the prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Naturally, it's the ...... of this king" replied a bit of boastful, Li Chengqian was still a little embarrassed, but he already understood what Wang Xiang meant, if he went to greet him in person, he would really fall into the identity of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xiangcai was not interested in greeting any Turkic mission, sitting here eating hot pot while watching the Fanbang envoys outside competing to give him gifts is a kind of enjoyment, seeing that Li Chengqian dispelled the idea of personally going to greet the Turkic mission, Wang Xiang continued to bury his head in the hot pot.

Then who to send to meet the Turkic mission? Li Chengqian sat down again and frowned as he picked up his wine glass, he knew that Li Ke and Li Tai were definitely unwilling to listen to his dispatch, and he was not willing to let Li Ke and Li Tai be in the limelight, as for the other princes, they were either mediocre or too young, it was really difficult to decide......

"Zixin, who do you think is better to send to meet the Turkic mission?"

Hearing Li Chengqian ask himself, Wang Xiang raised his head and looked left and right, pointed to the soldier who came in to report the news, and said, "Just him." ”

……

The Turkic mission had arrived outside Chang'an City, and was stopping outside the Yanping Gate at this time, Tulu rode a tall horse and looked at the tall Chang'an City Gate, and the hideous look on his face was more than ever. The Tang army defeated the Turkic 300,000 cavalry in the Western Regions, and he was captured in Chang'an, which was the biggest shame in Tulu's heart.

And now, he has to endure it, and he doesn't dare to act rashly if he doesn't figure out the terrible Tianleizi.

"Tulu, why don't you go in yet?"

From the carriage behind him came a young and arrogant voice, which seemed to be a little impatient.

"Prince Bato, please be calm, the Han people will send someone to greet us ceremoniously."

This is the dignity of the Turks, with Tulu's understanding of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks came to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting this time, and the Tang Emperor will at least send a prince of no low status to greet him, maybe it is the crown prince, but he heard that this year's Great Dynasty will be in charge of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
