Chapter 171: Someone from the capital has a different purpose

"Even if it's the cost price of twenty-five Wen, how can those stores sell it so expensive?"

"Lu Cheng said that it was not under his jurisdiction." Master Si thought of Lu Cheng's face, and he was disgusted! But thinking of what the other party said, he was full of powerlessness.

I thought that if I came to such a small place, I would be able to make a performance. has no right to dump, no intrigue, he can work for the welfare of the people in a down-to-earth manner.

But......

Why is it that even the small town of Xinhe is deeply affected by the power struggle?

Chu Yingying: "Then if the adult directly orders how many bookstores to close?" ”

Such a high price is contrary to the original intention of the imperial court, and the government should have the right to directly close their doors, right?

After all, the ancient government had great power.

Who knew that Master Si shook his head in embarrassment: "Yingying, things are not so simple. Even if I forcibly let those bookstores close, what if the printing house doesn't print all the bookstores in Xinhe Town because of this? When the time comes, students and businessmen will have to complain without others. ”

Sometimes, it's not as simple as just moving.

Chu Yingying bit her lip.

Is that all there is to it? She gave up movable type printing to the merchants, not to make the merchants make money! It's not about letting it be a tool in someone else's hands!

"Alas, I want to find a way, don't worry, don't be impulsive!" Master Si repeatedly admonished.

He still knows Chu Yingying quite well, this kid is stubborn, Master Si is worried that Chu Yingying will fight against Lu Cheng in order to get out of this breath!

When the time comes, things will be in trouble.

Chu Yingying nodded: "I know." ”

After that, it's time for a silent dinner.

Chu Yingying originally thought that the matter would drag on for a while before it could be resolved, but who knew that it would be resolved the next day!

Chu Yingying was shocked, straightened up and asked, "Xiaotian, you say it again." ”

She was reading a travelogue at home, but who knew that her younger brother Xiaotian suddenly ran in out of breath with one of her friends.

Tell her: "Second sister! The books in the bookstore have been reduced in price! Other bookstores can also publish travelogues! ”

But how is this possible?

Even if Master Si thought of a way, would that Lu Cheng compromise so easily?

Chu Xiaotian slowed down for a while, picked up the milk tea on the small table and drank it all, and some of it flowed out to the neckline.

"Wow, wipe it."

Chu Yingying handed him a handkerchief.

"Oh."

Chu Xiaotian said while wiping: "Today, the two of us want to go to the bookstore to buy the travelogue that Master said to have a look, who knows that it was the door of the bookstore opened by Boss Lu that made a commotion......

It turned out that another student made trouble in the bookstore opened by Boss Lu today, and he felt that the price was too high, so he was talking about Wei Potti's rhetoric about taking food yesterday.

And Boss Lu also has that attitude, who knew that a person suddenly appeared, claiming to be an official in the capital or something, passing by here and hearing about it, he immediately came out to stop it, and then thoroughly investigated the printing house!

The final result is that Lu Cheng is imprisoned, and he will be sent to the capital for investigation in a few days, and then the printing house will open printing to all bookstores, and travel notes and the like will also be printed, and the price will be lowered!

“…… The Four Books and the Five Classics and the like cannot exceed 40 texts! For other categories of books, the price has been lowered according to certain rules. ”

Books are of little value, but some are priceless, so they can't be generalized.

Chu Xiaotian took out a travelogue with a smile, "Second sister, look, this travelogue I want to buy, the master spent seventy yuan to buy it a few days ago, and I only spent forty yuan today!" ”

Maybe it's because he lived a hard life when he was a child, so even if he has money in the family now, Chu Xiaotian will not waste it, but will be thrifty.

Usually, Fang's Chu Fenfen and Chu Yingying would occasionally give Xiao Tian some pocket money, so that he could occasionally buy some snacks to eat, or buy something he wanted.

As for Chu Xiaotian, he saved up every penny, and a few days ago, when Chu Fenfen celebrated his sixteenth birthday, he bought a hairpin for Chu Fenfen.

Although it is the most ordinary silver hairpin, it has spent all the money that Xiaotian has saved.

I still remember that Xiaotian was holding the hairpin at the time, and said to Chu Fenfen: "Eldest sister, I don't have money now, so I can't buy you a good one." I study hard, practice martial arts hard, and earn money to buy you the best in the future! ”

At that time, she was moved, but Chu Fenfen hugged Chu Xiaotian and cried, and the Fang family was also moved.

Even Chu Yingying's eyes turned red.

The topic is off, and then again, there is so much money left, Chu Xiaotian is particularly beautiful: "That second prince is really a good person, a big good person!" ”

"Second prince?"

"Yes, everyone said that the official from the capital today is a relative of the second prince, and he listened to the orders of the second prince and checked everywhere to see if the bookstore had raised the price to sell books."

Chu Yingying frowned.

How did it just happen?

And as soon as it involved any prince, Chu Yingying inexplicably felt that things were not so simple.

But it all involved the prince, and Chu Yingying didn't dare to inquire about it, for fear of getting angry.

"Second sister, the price of books has been reduced, aren't you happy?"

"I'm happy, you can go play."

"Okay."

After Chu Xiaotian left, Chu Yingying held her chin and pondered, always feeling that something was wrong.

If she didn't understand, Chu Yingying simply didn't want to. I felt aggrieved and panicked, and I couldn't read the book anymore, so I took my little donkey and planned to go back to the village to take a stroll and see the situation by the way.

Although it is said that it is very cool to be a shopkeeper, it is still necessary to inspect it occasionally to see if there is any problem.

If you don't look at it all the time, then you won't be able to find out if there is a problem, and it will be over sooner or later.

Who knew that this time came out, and I happened to meet the scholar in the bookstore that day.

The scholar also saw him, and came forward to greet him with a smile: "Hello Second Miss Chu, my name is Wei Porti, and I also live nearby, but this is the first time we have met." ”

Chu Yingying nodded, also surprised: "It's really a coincidence." ”

And then there was nothing more to say.

The little donkey didn't know if it was not full, so he kept rubbing it against Chu Yingying's chest, which made Chu Yingying quite embarrassed, so she could only let go of the donkey and hide farther away.

I really didn't see that this big gray was so colored!

Big Gray is the name of this little donkey.

After Chu Yingying gave her beloved little donkey such a name, she was ridiculed by everyone for a long time.

Everyone thinks, since you have chosen a name, you should choose a nice name, big gray or something, it's really too ...... Grounded.

Chu Yingying felt that it was simple and clear, very distinctive, and insisted on not changing.

Wei Poti was also a little embarrassed, and her eyes glanced away.

It wasn't until Chu Yingying avoided the donkey that he spoke again.

"What do you think of today's incident?"
