Chapter Forty-Four: Calling Me Over Early in the Morning Just to Lose Money?

"Ji Su?"

"Wei Teng?"

Luo Yan's brows furrowed slightly: "How did the two of them get together?" ”

Wei Teng is the youngest son of the Wei family, although the Wei family is his wife, the reason why he has risen to prominence in the court depends to a large extent on the power of the Wei family.

However, the Wei family did not fully support their political views, and the biggest disagreement was on the Qianli diplomatic relations.

So, why did the Wei family's sister-in-law get mixed up with Ji Su?

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes: "Let them in!" ”

The porter answered, and hurried over to greet him, although Wei Teng is not learned and has average cultivation, but he is the favorite son of the pawn Wei Qian, who can snub anyone, but he can't snub him.

Luo Ming didn't say anything, put aside the matter of Hua Chao, and got up and stood behind Luo Yan's side to welcome guests.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

A boy in brocade clothes screamed affectionately from afar, he was Wei Teng, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and Ji Su in red followed him.

Luo Yan got up and grabbed Wei Teng's wrist, and said with a smile: "Nephew, sit down, why did you come to see your uncle today?" ”

The intimacy of the attitude is very different from when he gets along with his own son.

Wei Teng sighed and glanced at Ji Su on the side: "Isn't it a matter of the bookstore?" It's been very lively in Jiangcheng lately, and it burned me if I wasn't careful. ”

Ji Su also arched his hand: "Xiangbang!" The stakes are high at this time, so please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting. ”

Hearing the two of them talking, I looked at their performance again, and realized that the two were not mixed together as I thought.

It's right to imagine carefully, Wei Teng is casual and arrogant by nature, he never sees the affairs of the court, and the people who come and go are all the gentlemen of the top wealthy families, so he can't look down on Ji Su as a proton, and now that the front line of Yanguo is tired and takes the initiative to ask Li Guo for peace, there is no reason to get involved with Ji Su.

No wonder, the Wei family's bookstore turned out to be in charge of it.

This Ji Su will find someone.

He smiled slightly: "Oh? What is Gongzisu's opinion on the matter of the bookstore? ”

"Uncle, listen to my opinion first!"

Wei Teng didn't feel any interest in Ji Su's opinion, and said directly: "Now everyone in our bookstore in Jiangcheng is in danger, all because of Shangmo Bookstore, isn't this smashing everyone's jobs?" So what I mean is to take Lan Lingsheng out and report it directly to the government, and not allow them to publish "Tales of Mountains and Seas" again, so that everyone can rest assured. ”

Listening to the tone, you can know that he is in a hurry, the bookstore is his personal money bag, he can usually not pay attention to it, but the money bag can't help but make money by himself.

Luo Yan looked at him with a smile, but did not make any suggestions, just now Luo Ming told him that although the bookstore is from the Hua Dynasty, it has been in the backyard account room, and not many people know about it.

This Ji Su brought Wei Teng over, but he didn't even tell him about it.

Luo Yan turned to look at Ji Su: "What do you think of Gongzi Su?" ”

Ji Su arched his hand and said: "Xiangbang! Although this Shangmo Bookstore did smash everyone's jobs, but after all, it is also a matter between businessmen, Lan Lingsheng is your guest, if he comes forward, the world will definitely think that it is your will, which will damage the majesty of the prime minister of a country, and I think ......"

Hearing half of it, Wei Teng was unhappy, and opened his mouth to scold: "The surname Ji, since you are not happy, why do you want to find the master?" Slippery master played? ”

Ji Su hurriedly explained: "Brother Wei, don't worry, listen to the next word." After all, Xiangbang is the prime minister of a country, and he should show himself to be fair and selfless, loyal to the country and love the people, and this move is not suitable for Xiangbang to do. Moreover, the second volume of "Tales of Mountains and Seas" has already sold tens of thousands of copies, and it will not be sold in a few days at most.

If it stops now, we won't be able to fill this vacancy, but will give our bookstore a bad name, Brother Wei thinks it's right? ”

"There is some truth to it!"

Although Wei Teng was not angry, he still nodded, when Ji Su went to look for him just now, he brought a printing engraving, although it was barely able to print, but the printing effect was very poor, and the entire layout was black. Moreover, the engraving is hard and brittle, so you have to be very careful when printing, otherwise it will rot directly.

Calculated together, the cost of each volume is definitely more than 300 Wen.

It doesn't matter if the bookstore is scolded, anyway, it can't be scolded on yourself, but if you can't make money, it's a big problem.

Luo Yan looked at Ji Su with interest: "What does that Gongzi Su understand?" ”

Ji Su took a deep breath: "I heard that Lan Lingsheng has a wide range of knowledge, if these days are a little harder, it will not be difficult to rush out the third volume of "Tales of Mountains and Seas" before the end of the month, and then he can collect the authorization fee from various bookstores, and the price will be set at 30,000 taels." ”

"Thirty thousand taels!"

Wei Teng scolded: "Are you sick in the brain, and I have to lose money if I open a bookstore?" ”

Ji Su wiped the saliva on his face: "Isn't it hot to hold these 30,000 taels of Lan Lingsheng?" What's more, there is also Xiangbang's face, so he will naturally return a part of it to us, and then we will give him two hundred taels of hard work for each bookstore, and he will not lose money in the future. ”

Wei Teng's expression eased slightly: "This is about the same." ”

Luo Yan was quite indifferent to this matter.

Ji Su seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and he was happy to destroy his daughter's industry, but he couldn't do it. He said with a smile: "Xiangbang has a lot of opportunities, and the matter of the bookstore may not be able to enter Xiangbang's eyes, but this matter is not a trivial matter, Xiangbang might as well listen to it." ”

Luo Yan raised his eyelids: "Son, please speak!" ”

Ji Su hurriedly said: "Xiangbang's hands and eyes are all over the sky, so he naturally knows that behind Shangmo Bookstore is standing Qianguo Proton Yingwuji. The 100 grand event is just around the corner, and at the current price of books, there will definitely be a large number of orders.

If these orders are all returned to Shangmo Bookstore, as long as Ying Wuji builds momentum behind his back, this big fruit is very likely to be picked by Qianguo. Although Shangmo Bookstore is currently in the hands of our Li people, Ying Wuji's son is insidious and cunning, so he has to guard against it! ”

Luo Yan's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, just now when he heard Luo Ming say that Hua Chao smashed all his net worth on the bookstore, his eyes turned black with anger.

If Ying Wuji really did that, then his stupid daughter ...... He nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with this view.

Ji Su struck while the iron was hot and continued: "What's more, Jiangcheng is a holy land of a hundred schools, which is the result of a hundred years of hard work by the monarchs and ministers of the Li Kingdom. If all the classics of the 100 schools of thought are produced by the Qianguo in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable! We must take this opportunity to let all the countries in the world, and even hundreds of students, think that the world's classics are all from Jiangcheng, and even if we lose money, we must grab all the orders! ”

This is obviously an exaggeration, and sooner or later the printing technology of the Li State will improve, and it is simply impossible for the Qianguo to swallow the fat alone.

However, Luo Yan has always regarded Qianguo as a tiger and wolf, even if Qianguo only has an extra piece of meat to eat, it is a result that he definitely does not want to see.

He nodded: "Since this is the case, then according to what Gongzi Su said!" ”

"Hey......"

Luo Ming, who had been silent, couldn't help but want to speak, but was glared at fiercely by Luo Yan, so he could only be silent.

Ji Su was overjoyed: "The prime minister understands the righteousness, and the younger generation has thanked him here!" ”

Luo Yan nodded slightly: "At this time, it is indeed a big matter, go back and call the people behind the various bookstores together to discuss it, and then Luo Ming will also go!" ”

"Yes! Then the juniors won't bother! ”

As he spoke, he went out with Wei Teng, who was stunned by what he heard.

Stepping out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Teng suddenly reacted: "You just said that even if you lose money, you have to snatch the order?" How much do you have to lose? You called Lao Tzu over early in the morning, and you were the one who lost money? ”
