Chu Yingying's words won everyone's praise.

And she was also very smart not to take everything on herself, in the name of the court, when the matter was resolved, the big guy was also grateful to the court.

This little girl is downplaying her own credit in movable type printing, so that the students of the world can thank the court, not her!

Very smart little girl.

This is Wei Potti's most intuitive feeling.

Chu Yingying said to him: "If you are not in a hurry, you should not wait, I will think of a way." ”

I care so much about the price, I think it's because the family is not very rich.

Wei Poti arched his hand: "Thank you, girl, if there is a girl who can use it, I am willing to help one or two." ”

He is a big man, how can he want to watch other little girls busy before and after?

After all, this kind of thing is related to the interests of every student, and he naturally has to work hard to fight for it.

Chu Yingying nodded, not to mention that there really is, she asked, "Do you know what the price of other bookstores in Xinhe Town is?" ”

"Either there are no books, and some of them are all at this price. I've heard that several other towns are like this. ”

Chu Yingying raised her eyebrows.

Oh, so it looks like someone above has put a flat price on them?

It's funny.

It's bold enough.

"Okay, I'll go to Master Si to report the situation." Chu Yingying still knows her own pounds.

She is not qualified to investigate this kind of matter, so it is safest to go to Master Si.

Wei Poti nodded, and watched Chu Yingying leave.

That Boss Wang also left quickly, and he was still in a good mood.

After arriving at the Si Mansion, Chu Yingying went directly to see Master Si, and there was no need to pass it on.

Coincidentally, Master Si was idle, chatting with his wife and concubine, and it seemed that he was talking about the child?

Chu Yingying calculated, this child must be five or six months old, no wonder Master Si is so concerned.

"Yingying is here?" Mrs. Si stood up with a smile and greeted your maidservant, "Go and get a cup of hot milk tea for Yingying, put more red beans, she loves to eat them." Then let the kitchen make two plates of jujube paste and yam pastry. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing Mrs. Si like this, Chu Yingying's heart was sweet, and her preferences could be remembered by others, and she really had a sense of happiness.

Xin Tian also said playfully: "Look how happy Madame is to see the second girl of Chu, just like seeing her own daughter." ”

"I wish I had such a well-behaved, sensible and capable girl!"

Mrs. Si couldn't close her mouth with a smile when she saw Chu Yingying, she pulled Chu Yingying to sit down, and asked a few words of concern about homely things.

Chu Yingying replied one by one, and then Mrs. Si asked her, "Do you have something to do today?" By the way, don't leave later, stay for dinner. And then by the way, I settled the money for this quarter for you, and you took it. ”

The business of the store cooperated by Chu Yingying and Mrs. Si has always been settled every three months, which was proposed by Chu Yingying to save trouble.

"Well, I'm looking for an adult."

"Look at you kid, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Mrs. Si stood up and said to Master Si: "Yingying likes the eight-treasure glutinous rice chicken I made, I'll go to the kitchen first to see if there is one, and prepare it early." ”

"Well, go ahead."

This is knowing that Chu Yingying has something to talk about with Master Si, so she immediately found a reason to hide out, and she is very knowledgeable.

But Xintian is different, and he is still smiling and peeling melon seeds for Master Si to eat.

It was Master Si who spoke before she left.

Before leaving, Xin Tian actually stood up and saluted Chu Yingying.

"Second Miss Chu, I'm a slave and maid, and I'm not smart enough, so ...... See smiled. ”

Then he left lonely.

Chu Yingying: ???

What's wrong?

The woman in this back house is scheming all the time, so it's uncomfortable, isn't it?

"I, this, my lord?"

Chu Yingying looked at Master Si with a confused expression, and her strength showed that she really didn't understand Xintian's routine.

Master Si waved his hand: "She's timid, don't care." What is it now? ”

Chu Yingying: ......

Hehe! She's timid, so you're saying she's fierce, right? What the hell!

It's a mess.

But Chu Yingying remembered the purpose of her coming, so she bypassed this topic and talked directly about what she had just seen and heard.

After she left the bookstore, she went to several other bookstores in Xinhe Town to inquire about the situation, and the results were the same as what Wei Poti said.

“…… My lord, when Mr. Yan was here, we carefully calculated that the cost of a book was only 18 Wen, and as a result, the bookstore sold it for 80 Wen! That's too expensive, isn't it? Isn't that the opposite of what we were meant to be? ”

It is normal for businessmen to pursue profits and make money.

But isn't it enough for you to sell thirty or forty texts?

Master Si didn't expect it to be so expensive, and was taken aback: "Is it true?" ”

"I've inquired, and all the bookstores in Xinhe Town sell books at this price if they can get books from the printing house." Chu Yingying's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she said another question, "And some bookstores want to publish books like travelogues, and the printing house doesn't care at all." ”

Master Si stood up, "You come with me, let's go to Lord Lu and ask for clarification." ”

"My lord, I'm just an ordinary person, it's not convenient to participate in it, and it will lead people to interrogate, so it's better for adults to go by themselves."

“…… Okay. ”

Although Master Si is a little confused in family affairs, he is really a good official.

Since arriving in Xinhe Town, he has managed the farming and mulberry farming, and has done everything himself, which is very popular with the people.

It wasn't until dinner time that Master Si came back with an angry face.

Mrs. Si stepped forward to take his coat and put it aside, and hurriedly handed him a cup of tea: "Take a sip of tea first, and lower the fire." ”

Master Si drank it all, and then threw the teacup on the table fiercely, obviously angry.

Si Chen was startled and hid in Chu Yingying's arms.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Si was a little distressed, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You suppress your anger, don't scare the child." ”

After not listening to the advice, Master Si sighed and sat down.

said: "Lu Cheng said that the documents issued by the imperial court are adapted to local conditions in various places, and it is normal for the cost price of books and periodicals to fluctuate somewhat. ”

"Then the imperial court didn't give a range?" Chu Yingying asked.

Because the price of raw materials is different, the price of labor is different, and the cost price will indeed be different, but the imperial court should also give a range range.

Master Si nodded: "Yes, the plaintext cannot exceed twenty-five words!" And Lu Cheng set the price at 25 Wen, saying that this can still fill the treasury! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Master Si slapped his fist fiercely, "The imperial court is for the benefit of students all over the world, how can you think of making a profit from it?" It's hateful that he stepped on the line given by the court, and we can't say anything! ”
