"Losing money and making a lot of money? What does it mean?"
Wei Zheng had never heard of this statement, so he couldn't help but be curious.
"Xiao Qin, please explain to him." Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu waved their hands, turned around and walked towards the return counter.
The books in the bookstore only sell the Enlightenment Meng books, so they will naturally suffer a lot.
But if you sell more books that everyone likes to read, it may not be necessary.
While these days are not very busy, Zhao Chen has to write a few books as soon as possible.
"The so-called loss of money and gaining publicity means that our early things can be given to the people at a loss to let them know the existence of our things."
"This will make the reputation come out. If our family sells anything good in the future, everyone will come here as soon as possible."
"In this way, there will be an advertising effect."
"Zhao Chen, what I said is right?"
After Qin Huaiyu finished explaining, he asked Zhao Chen again.
"It's totally correct." Zhao Chen looked over and nodded in agreement.
Lose money and make a lot of money!
Wei Zheng nodded in his heart and couldn't help looking at Zhao Chen with more and more admiration.
But, he suddenly thought...
"You sent out those people in the east and west markets today?" Wei Zheng walked to Zhao Chen and asked afterwards.
"It's those who give free peppers and taste the meat on the street." Seeing that Zhao Chen seemed to have not reacted, Wei Zheng reminded him again.
He is a counselor, and it is not only the officials in the court who supervises it.
Even if something big happened in Chang'an City, he would have the responsibility to submit it.
Today, the east and west markets are tightly blocked, and even the yamen runners who patrol the streets cannot deal with it.
But it made Wei Zheng very angry.
It turns out that the mastermind behind it is actually here.
"Next year I'm going to promote the cultivation of peppers. Pepper will be worthless soon. Old Wei, should you make it together?" Zhao Chen put down his pen and said with a smile.
After hearing Zhao Chen's words, Wei Zheng was a little moved.
After all, he had tasted the pepper and knew in his heart that the pepper would soon be replaced with pepper.
He could think of how much profit the pepper would have at that time.
only……
"Duke Lu and Duke Yi and Duke Yi have given a total of 22,000 guan. Don't you want to join?" Zhao Chen said in a low voice.
Wei Zheng was an upright person. When he heard Zhao Chen say this, he instinctively glanced at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu who were talking behind him.
"Zhao Chen, what do you want to do?" Wei Zheng frowned and said, "It is a serious crime to hook up with court officials, you..."
"Don't you like to fight against the emperor on weekdays? How about you join my career and help me fight against the emperor in the court?" Zhao Chen smiled slightly, and seemed to have not heard what Wei Zheng said just now.
Wei Zheng was a little hesitant.
If you force the emperor into a hurry, who knows if the emperor will slash him with one knife?
Moreover, why did Zhao Chen let himself confront the emperor?
"Even if you only invest 1,000 guan, I can benefit you more than 3,000 guan before the Dragon Boat Festival next year. Think about it carefully." Zhao Chen smiled slightly, and was not impatient.
For Zhao Chen, his body is getting better day by day.
Many people have set their sights on him now.
If there are no one of my own people, the future situation will probably be extremely difficult.
Although Wei Zheng is stubborn, there is no problem with his loyalty.
If he can stand with him, many things will be easy to solve in the future.
But Wei never understood why Zhao Chen wanted to let himself go against the emperor.
Are you trying to send him to the West directly?
"Old Wei, you can think slowly. Anyway, the next season of peppers will not start until mid-spring next year."
"I'm thankful for the bookstore's documents today." Zhao Chen smiled and continued to write his own things.
...
"Has Gao Yuanjing been called into the palace by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
At the inn in West City, Lunqin's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard the report from his subordinates.
"How long has it been?" Lun Qing asked hurriedly.
"It's about an hour." The subordinate replied.
"Sir, Gao Yuanjing should not dare to tell us about it." Others advised.
Although Goguryeo is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, it is remote.
The national strength is also weak, and no one dares to offend anyone.
"In front of Li Shimin, even if he doesn't want to say it, what can he hide?"
"Order..."
"Bang bang bang!"
Before Lunqin finished speaking, he heard a burst of rapid knocks from the door outside.
The people in the house suddenly changed their colors and pulled out their swords.
"Who?" Lun Qin shouted.
"It's me, Gao Yuanjing." Gao Yuanjing's weak voice came from outside the door.
Lunqin frowned and asked the people beside him to open the door carefully.
Then he saw Gao Yuanjing standing at the door with a bloody face, with whipping scars on his body.
"What's wrong with you?" Renqin didn't see anyone outside, so he pulled Gao Yuanjing in.
His subordinates stared at the window and did not see anyone following him on the street.
"I was beaten by Cheng Yaojin, a subordinate of Li Shimin. They thought I would tell you about what happened that day, so they tortured me."
"Although the pain of flesh and blood is painful, it is not as hateful as his insult to me, Goguryeo." Gao Yuanjing cursed angrily and slapped the table.
Lunqin stood aside, saying nothing, observing Gao Yuanjing's expression.
"Tomorrow, Li Shimin will definitely summon Lord Lunqin to the palace. The bitterness of flesh and blood is inevitable. Please hold on."
"This matter cannot be allowed to succeed."
"hiss--"
After Gao Yuanjing finished speaking, he breathed in pain.
"Brother Gao goes to apply medicine first." Lun Qin smiled, and someone took Gao Yuanjing away.
"Sir, Goguryeo is a lackey of the Tang Dynasty. How could Li Shimin punish Gao Yuanjing? This matter must be strange." As soon as Gao Yuanjing left, someone said to Lunqin.
This is also what Lunqin doubts.
Goguryeo has always had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. How could Li Shimin be so cruel to Gao Yuanjing?
Could it be that Li Shimin is really crazy?
"Don't hurry up in this matter. I'll enter the palace tomorrow and you'll know it after a look."
"In the past few days, I have to pay close attention to Gao Yuanjing's movements and kill them immediately if there is any difference." Lun Qin said, with a sharp look on his face.
...
On the morning of the next day, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu went to the East and West Markets to protect the villagers who were "losing money".
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang headed towards the palace.
Yesterday, he promised Empress Changsun to come here, and Zhao Chen was not the one who broke his promise.
The two of them got on the carriage and soon arrived outside the imperial city.
The general in charge of guarding the imperial city had already received orders and let the carriage enter the imperial city with a smile on his face.
Further forward, the carriage was out of reach, so the two had to come down and walk.
"Zhao Chen, why don't I take you around the palace later?"
"There are a lot of interesting things here." Li Ruoshuang carried the medicine basket for Zhao Chen and walked in front of him with a smile.
He looked back at Zhao Chen and said to Zhao Chen while retreating.
"You often come to the palace?" Zhao Chen asked casually.
The Chang'an Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty was extremely magnificent.
At first glance, there are countless pavilions and towers.
Zhao Chen also understood why others said that the palace gate was as deep as the sea when he entered the palace.
