Li Qing proposed to publish the "Yongle Canon", the main purpose of which was not to make money, but to pass on the culture.

This collection of books from all over the world contains too much cultural knowledge, covering almost everything, and it would be a pity if it was dusty.

Now that it is spread in this way, it can be regarded as avoiding the end of the loss of the canon.

"Sir, it's time to eat!" Lian Xiang came over with an apron and said with a smile, "Today's concubine cooks, all of them are what Mr. loves to eat." ”

Li Qing got up with a smile and complained, "Let these things be done by the subordinates, don't you enjoy them." ”

"Idle is idle." Lian Xiang grinned and said, "It's not bad to do something, by the way, it's Sister Redsleeve's birthday." ”

"yes." Li Qing suddenly said, "That's a good celebration and celebration, after a while, let's go to the street and make up for the birthday gift for the red sleeves." ”

"What about the concubine?" Reinka pouted.

Wan Ling also looked expectant.

"Both." Li Qing was quite arrogant, "Mr. doesn't have much, it's just a lot of money." ”

Over the years, the gifts, and the gifts received, Li Qing's family foundation is not ordinarily rich, and he can't spend it at all.

Li Qing said softly: "Just say what you want, Mr. has nothing to do." ”

"Sir's words count."

"Of course."

While laughing, the three of them came to the backyard lobby.

The dishes and chopsticks were ready, and when Red Sleeves saw them come in, he sent his men away.

Red Sleeves took out a small jar of wine from the cabinet, and Ying Ying smiled: "Sir, have a drink at noon?" ”

"yes, okay." Li Qing nodded, "Why don't you say it on your birthday, Mr. won't have time to prepare a gift for you." ”

"There's nothing missing at home." Red Sleeves said, "Another year older is not a thing to celebrate. ”

Li Qing paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "Look at you, think about it again, right?" ”

"No, it's just a little emotional." The red sleeves said quietly, "The concubines are fifty-one." ”

"Sir is a decade older than you." Li Qing smiled, "What's the matter?" ”

Red Sleeves was stunned, smiled, poured him a glass of wine, and imitated the scene of first acquaintance, "Sir, please drink this cup full." ”

……

After lunch, Li Qing fulfilled his promise and took his three daughters to visit Jinling City.

The shopkeeper was quite amused to see him as a girl, but he adhered to the principle that the customer is God, and he was not ignorant of current affairs.

The four of them went shopping all afternoon, and it was not until near evening that they returned with all their excitement and bought a lot of large bags.

Li Qing has no interest in money, he has hardly touched money, and he is always kept by red sleeves, but he is very interested in spending money.

He thinks that money can buy happiness, which is where its value lies.

The publication of the ceremony went very smoothly, Li Qing only inspected it occasionally, and spent most of his time at home, or went to chat with Xiaopang and fart.

More than two months later, under the expectation of the wealthy gentry of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Royal Bookstore was opened.

Li Qing once again saw the wealth of the rich gentry, and a set of supreme limited edition canons was once fried to 15,000 taels.

He still follows the previous sales model, a set of 100 copies.

Under the pursuit of the rich gentry, 500 sets, each set of 100 volumes, were sold out in only half a month.

Excluding the cost, the net profit is more than 400,000 taels, which can make Xia Yuanji very happy.

In the next time, Xia Yuanji collected the accounts, and Li Qing was busy continuing to print the next round.

At the same time, Zhu Di also went down in person, letting officials from all over the Ming Dynasty advertise all over the world, and half a year later, the sales ceremony was sold again.

The fourth child tasted the sweetness, and smiled from ear to ear, if all the canons were printed once, not only could the cost be recovered, but also a lot of money, and its profit was more than Sanbao's next trip to the West.

The silver and grain of the white flowers entered the treasury, and Zhu Di's waist gradually hardened again.

……

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it has been the twelfth year of Yongle in a blink of an eye.

The Imperial Study.

"I'm going to go on a northern expedition."

"No money, Dad." Chubby is embarrassed.

Xia Yuanji echoed: "Your Majesty, the treasury is really tight!" ”

Where is Zhu Di willing to believe that the treasury has money or not, can he not know?

"Less nonsense." Zhu Di said unhappily, "I have endured it for so long, and I still say that I have no money?" ”

"Father, do you believe me?" Chubby asked.

"I don't believe it!"

"Then I won't do it."

"Do you like to do it?" Zhu Di knew that he was rich, so he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, "Second child, second child......"

After looking around, he didn't see the second child, Zhu Di raised his voice and said, "Go and call King Han over." ”

Seeing this, Xia Yuanji hurriedly changed his words: "Although the treasury is not rich, it can still support a war. ”

Huang Huai, Jin Youzi and other cabinet members hurriedly nodded yes, lest the prince's status be guaranteed.

"Rich now? It's late! Zhu Di sneered, "You actually colluded with the prince to deceive me, the crime is unforgivable, come and put all these people in prison." ”

Xiaopang's face changed, "Father thinks twice." ”

"Don't worry, you're indispensable." Zhu Di continued, "From now on, you will reflect on yourself in the East Palace, and you will not be allowed to take a single step out of the palace. ”

Zhu Di scolded and scolded: "One by one, join forces to deceive me, can I be deceived?" ”

The Ouchi guards rushed in and pressed Xia Yuanji, Jin Youzi, Yang Shiqi and others down, and Xiaopang was also invited out.

Li Qing stood by and did not say a word.

The fourth child is the same as Lao Zhu, he is a stubborn donkey, it is useless to say it, anyway, the final winner can only be Xiao Chubby, he doesn't need to hurry.

Moreover, Xiaochubby has been really hard all these years, and there is nothing wrong with taking a break.

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu hurried over, the joy on his face was irrepressible, he already knew about it from the little eunuch.

After all, if the golden beans are sprinkled so much, how can it be ineffective.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Zhu Gaoxu said reservedly.

"Hmm." Zhu Di took a deep breath, "From now on, you will start to supervise the country." ”

"The retainers obey." Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red, "Father and emperor can rest assured, and the sons and ministers will do their best." ”

Zhu Di smiled, "Well, you go down first, and prepare well." ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Zhu Gaoxu saluted respectfully and retreated.

"Your Majesty, are you going to fight Warat this time?" Li Qing confirmed.

"Well, since the Tatars are weak, they are not honest." Zhu Di nodded, "Zhanji is sixteen, you can pull out to practice, you are ready, and you will go on the expedition in two months." ”

"I'm going too?"

"Hmm." Zhu Di said, "You are strong in martial arts, protect him for me." ”

Li Qing nodded, arched his hand, and was about to leave but was stopped by him.

"Is the emperor still in trouble?"

"How's the book printed?" Zhu Di asked.

"Everything is in order." Li Qing persuaded, "In two months, the next sale will be, if the minister also wants to go out, then the sales ...... Why don't you release Xia Yuanji?

Your Majesty, to be honest, I don't look down on the official group, but there are always exceptions to everything, Xia Yuanji is indeed a good official, and he can be powerful, and it is not appropriate for the emperor to ......"

"Don't worry, I will definitely release him before I set out on the expedition."

When Li Qing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "...... the prince?" ”

"Let him rest for two months." Zhu Di stretched his waist, "It's not easy for the boss, take advantage of this opportunity to let him rest." ”

"The second one...... Ahem, what about King Han? ”

"Him?" Zhu Di snorted, "How can he have the appearance of being in charge of the country, and when I go out, I will take him down." ”

Li Qing: "......"

The second child is really miserable!

With such a dad on the stall, it's really a blood mold!

Although Li Qing doesn't like the second child, he is really upset about him, which is really ...... It's pathetic.

"Okay, if you want to be idle, go and tutor Zhanji, his bow and horse kung fu still needs to be improved." Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "I am very spoiled to you, and the Saint is ......."

Li Qing couldn't hear this the most, and hurriedly interrupted, "Your Majesty, don't say it, I understand, I understand, I'm going to teach the emperor's grandson." ”

The fourth child is addicted to painting cakes, but Li Qing is not a fool.

He is allergic to flatbread.

East Palace.

When Zhu Zhanji saw Li Qinglai, he hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Mr. Li, grandpa has removed my father from the position of superintendent of the country, and I am afraid of the next step...... You're so good at talking, you have to help my dad! ”

"......" Li Qing said with a smile, "Your father is tired enough, there is nothing wrong with letting him rest." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Li Qing interrupted, "I'm going to go on the expedition in a while, and this time I'm going to attack Warat, Taisun, you have to go too." ”

"I'm going too?" Zhu Zhanji's face was full of surprise.

"You don't want to?"

"Of course!" The surprise on Zhu Zhanji's face was replaced by joy, "I think about it in my dreams." ”

After a pause, he pulled Li Qing to the side and whispered: "Uncle Qing, we are our own people, you tell me the truth, does Grandpa Huang intend to let the second uncle take over?" ”

"This ......," Li Qing was puzzled, "you go and ask your father." ”

"He won't say it!" Zhu Zhanji said anxiously, "Just tell me about it." ”

Li Qing scratched his head and said, "Keep a normal heart, be yourself, what is yours is yours." ”

"How do you keep a normal mind?" Zhu Zhanji said eagerly, "The second uncle is eyeing him, and my father is not fighting or grabbing, in case grandpa really changes the crown prince, then ......"

"Uncle Qing, you don't have to look at me like that." Zhu Zhanji said, "My father is the prince, I am the grandson, I am not ambitious." ”
