In the palace, Cheng Yaojin stood at the door with Gao Yuanjing.
Gao Yuanjing also heard about the news that the Turks were killed on the official road leading to Wannian County a few days ago.
In addition, the investigations inside and outside Chang'an City have been extremely strict in the past few days.
He naturally knew what was going on.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin brought him to the palace, saying that he was waiting for the banquet, but he waited for an hour and didn't even have a place to sit.
Gao Yuanjing already knew that even if today was a banquet, it would be a Hongmen Banquet.
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty will summon him soon." Cheng Yaojin stood aside and said lightly.
But in my heart, I was wondering whether he had told Zhao Chen about what he had just explained to Cheng Chumo.
Although Li Ruoshuang said she was entangled with Zhao Chen every day, Zhao Chen never confirmed that her relationship was not true.
Even if the relationship is confirmed, Li Jing and the others have to agree.
With so many possibilities, Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang may not succeed.
Then Cheng Yaojin has to consider his family.
Zhao Chen had a close relationship with the emperor and empress, and even cured the queen's illness.
Such contributions will make the future very good.
He just heard that the emperor and the queen went to Zhao Chen's tavern in person, which was a great honor...
Cheng Yaojin really wants to seize this opportunity. If Zhao Chen can be his Cheng family's son-in-law, then...hehe...
As Cheng Yaojin thought about it, his heart was filled with joy.
Gao Yuanjing next to him felt even more restless when he heard Cheng Yaojin laughing suddenly.
I secretly thought that it wasn't that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had known something long ago, otherwise...
"Your Majesty has an order to announce the long-term view of Gao." The little yellow gate shouted, and the gate of the hall behind him was opened.
"Sir, Your Majesty let you go in too." Xiaohuangmen and Cheng Yaojin shouted.
"Okay." Cheng Yaojin nodded and entered the hall with Gao Yuanjing.
The palace gate closed with a loud bang, which made Gao Yuanjing tremble in his heart.
"See... I've seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." As soon as he saw Li Shimin sitting upright on the dragon couch, Gao Yuanjing immediately knelt on the ground.
Cheng Yaojin bowed slightly and stood aside without saying a word.
"Do you know that Gao Yuanjing, the auspicious seeds were robbed?" Li Shimin looked at Gao Yuanjing and said lightly.
Although his tone was plain, Gao Yuanjing could hear the strong murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not what the foreign ministers say. Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty are as close as brothers, and the foreign ministers never participated in the matter of auspicious seeds." Gao Yuanjing shouted hurriedly.
"You didn't participate, that means, do you know the person behind the planning of this matter?" Li Shimin's tone became cold, and the hall was filled with murderous aura.
After all, he was an emperor who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and even his momentum was enough to make people frightened.
Gao Yuanjing is just a idle prince in Goguryeo, and he only eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays.
How could he withstand such intimidation from Li Shimin?
In addition, he did not dare to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, so he immediately came out.
"You said that the person behind this matter was Lun Qin from Tubo?" Li Shimin said slowly after a stick of incense.
"Yes... it's Lunqin. He invited foreign ministers to participate in this matter, but... but foreign ministers felt that the Tang Dynasty was the country of sect leader. If Goguryeo needs it, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely give it to him."
"Foreign ministers will never dare to participate in the robbery." Gao Yuanjing knelt on the ground, his hands and feet trembling.
He didn't understand, he obviously did nothing.
Why did the emperor find himself in one go?
I didn't see any movement for several days before, so why did I suddenly...
"Lunqin, Tubo, what do I think is good?" Li Shimin nodded, with a cold murderous intent on his face.
Tubo actually dared to steal his Tang Dynasty things, and he was really impatient to live.
"Your Majesty, if you directly arrest Lu Qin, you may not be able to find out where the auspicious seed is. It is better..." Cheng Yaojin looked at Gao Yuanjing.
...
"No, this is your bookstore document."
Wei Zheng was very dissatisfied with throwing the bookstore documents approved by the official uniforms in front of Zhao Chen.
Wei Zheng was a counselor.
Have the right to hear the news.
On weekdays, there are not a thousand people offended in the officialdom, and there are eight hundred people.
Although he was following the emperor's order, he went to apply for this document for Zhao Chen.
But it's not what he says.
Without an imperial edict, the officials who had offended him were arguing with him.
If you are slow, you just won't do it.
He was a polite doctor and could only follow the buttocks of the service officer and beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother.
Finally, I got a bookstore document for Zhao Chen.
Now, Wei Zheng is full of anger.
"Thank you for your hard work in Lao Wei." Zhao Chen picked up the document, with all seals on it, and the document to start the bookstore was already completed.
"Zhao Chen, why do you still have to run a bookstore? You can't make much money?" Qin Huaiyu came over, took a look, and spoke.
The books sold in the bookstore are all ordinary books.
It can only play the role of enlightenment by children.
But there are not many children who can read books even in Chang'an City.
There are also many bookstores in Chang'an City.
There are several families with five surnames and seven hopes.
After all, Zhao Chen wanted to start a bookstore.
"The day before yesterday, I saw that the children in the village were seven or eight years old, and they were still catching fish and shrimp in the fields. If this continues, they will work hard in the fields as much as their fathers."
"I thought, to start a bookstore and publish some cheap books, so that they could read it, even if they couldn't have too much prospect in the future, at least they could find a relaxed job," Zhao Chen explained.
"But no matter how cheap the books are, those printing papers are very expensive. An ordinary book of enlightenment costs nearly twenty texts each."
"What's more, this skillful printing technique is mastered by the five surnames and Qiwang and other aristocratic families. Zhao Chen, do you want to compare with the five surnames and Qiwang and Qiwang?" Wei Zheng shook his head, not optimistic about Zhao Chen's so-called opening of a bookstore.
Although Datang's papermaking technology is not behind, it is also very difficult.
All of them are good bamboo and trees.
Ordinary families don’t even have the money to buy a book.
What's more, this skillful printing technique is completely mastered by the Five Case Qiwang.
This is their stuff and it is impossible to hand over.
If Zhao Chen really didn't know the depth and went to make these things, he would probably feel disappointed.
"I have a way to print paper and printing technology. As for the people who can't afford books, I can sell them at a lower price." Zhao Chen said.
"You have a way?" Wei Zheng was reluctant to believe it, but he didn't delve into it. Then he smiled and said, "Zhao Chen, don't always think about doing good deeds, no one will be grateful to you."
"How much money do you lose if you sell it at a lower price?"
The price of a book that ordinary people can pay is at most ten cents, which means that every time Zhao Chen sells a book, he will lose ten cents.
There are about 200,000 households in Chang'an City, each household is one, and Zhao Chen will lose 2 million yuan.
It is equivalent to two thousand stakes.
This is not counting as other expenses.
How much money does Zhao Chen have and how long can he lose money?
