Chapter 84: The Account Checking That I Said Good
"What, Lord Lu thinks there is something wrong?" Li Chengqian smiled, his tone was calm, and his expression and behavior could not tell anything wrong.
But Lu Chengqing felt a chill on his back, and subconsciously took two steps back. After reacting, he quickly explained with a smile: "Uh, Your Highness is joking. The official has never seen so much money piled up together. He has lost his composure and lost his composure."
I believe you, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue has never seen so much money. I don’t know how to find a better one because I really think that the young master is made by the mud.
"Well, it's reasonable for Lord Lu to explain this, but I wonder what the next sentence of Lord Lu means? What makes you think that the Lone Seal Book will definitely lose money?"
With the mine and Sinong Temple as the starting point, the printing shop has become very useless in Li Chengqian's view. It is time to make movable type printing public. I hope that the major families that have provoked this dispute can bear the losses caused.
In front of everyone, Lu Chengqing also knew that he could not tolerate himself to retreat. His family was in the world, and his family was in front and his country was behind. Naturally, everything was put on the interests of the family first.
"I didn't want to say this at first, but since Your Highness has asked, I want to ask you back, do you know how much it costs to print a fifty-page Yang version of the book."
Lu Chengqing's problems are full of traps, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.
Changsun Wuji and others were so nervous that they were not good at interrupting at this time, and they were all anxious.
Others such as Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin were watching coldly. In their opinion, all this today was just a boring farce. Whether it was Hegan Chengji who caused trouble or the aristocratic families who took advantage of the problem, they were all clowns who were jumping on the odds and were not worth mentioning at all.
Li Chengqian watched coldly and glanced at everyone. Seeing that the old man who knew the inside story had no intention of stopping it, he smiled and said, "It's only about eighty cents. Lord Lu also has a printing shop at home. Don't you know the specific price?"
"Eighty-month? To be honest, I do have a printing shop in my family, but it may be that the craftsmen in my family are not good at it. If I want to print such a book, the cost will be at least 150 cents. And as far as I know, no Chang'an City can control the cost below 140 cents."
A smile appeared on Lu Chengqing's face, as if he was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's timid appearance.
Eighty-month, one hundred and fifty-month, the price is almost twice as different. As long as those present are not fools, they can see that Li Chengqian is lying.
Sure enough, the old guys who had not spoken before looked at each other and spoke.
"This..., Your Highness, the price of 80 ounces is too low, I can't accept it."
"Have you calculated it wrong?"
"Yes, the craftsmen who engrave the printed and engraved plates also need to calculate the cost, and they cannot just calculate the prices of paper and ink."
Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, and Yu Zhining, these three people can almost represent the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace back then. Even the three of them are so sure that Li Chengqian had made a mistake, so he must have made a mistake.
Changsun Wuji even wanted to go up and block Li Chengqian's mouth. If he didn't understand, he just didn't understand. Why bother to hold on? Now, everyone has seen the flaws.
Since the printing shop is losing money to do business, where does the money in the west wing come from? Inner treasury or national treasury?
If you continue to be entangled like this, it is very likely that His Majesty the Emperor will be involved?
I'm afraid it's really over now.
In order to preserve the emperor's glorious image, Changsun Wuji made up his mind and wanted to stand up and take all his sins on the spot.
No matter what, it is better to collude with the prince and the court officials than to collude with the prince and the emperor.
But at this moment, Li Chengqian snatched to Lu Deming, Kong Yingda and others in front of him: "Master Lu, Master Kong, and you all, you should not forget that Gu once said that he wanted to improve the printing method, right?"
Hey?
It seems that this is really happening.
Lu Deming was stunned for a moment, then woke up and squeezed away the unknown Lu Chengqing excitedly, rushed to Li Chengqian and his hands were trembling with excitement: "Your Highness, do you mean, there is a new way to print? And the cost of printing is half lower than before?"
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, his eyes flashed over the five senior officials including Lu Chengqing, Wang Gui, Cui Renshi, and others, as if he had thought of something: "It's no point to say anything. Since you are all here today, why don't you go with me and see it with your own eyes? How about you happen to be in trouble for this matter in the future."
This was almost pointing at the nose of the five surnames and seven hope people, saying that they are looking for trouble.
If I hadn't wanted to confirm whether the new printing method that Li Chengqian mentioned was true, Lu Chengqing and others would never have given up so easily.
Such a scene made Li Chengqian think of the saying "knowledge changes destiny" again. Poor guys, do you really think I am fighting alone?
Behind me are countless elites for more than 1,400 years. With so much knowledge reserve, crushing you is just like playing.
Yes, Li Chengqian didn't take today's impeachment seriously at all. He was just talking. In order to have the strength to sit with these guys, he even ate two more bowls of rice in the morning.
Leaving the Eastern Palace, Li Shimin led the team, and a group of people Wuyang went straight to General Tiance's mansion, trembling with excitement.
Since His Majesty became the emperor, General Tiance’s mansion has not visited so many great people for a long time, and now it seems that the glory of the past has reappeared again.
After passing through the courtyard, the group arrived at the backyard for a short while, which was reserved specifically for the 18th Bachelor of Science to discuss issues, which caused several old guys to be moved.
When they entered the main room, including Li Shimin, everyone's eyes were attracted by the rows of shelves on the right side of the room, but they saw three or four women walking through the middle of a shelf with trays, occasionally picking something out of a shelf.
The woman who was originally busy in the room was stunned when she saw so many people and waited to find out
The woman who was originally busy in the room was stunned when she saw so many people. After discovering the head of Li Shimin, she immediately put down her things and came to see the salute: "I have met Your Majesty, Your Highness, and You All."
After all, people from the palace came out of the palace, and the etiquette of superiority and inferiority has been engraved into the bones. Even if they are no longer the identity of palace maids, they still cannot change their old habits.
The great Emperor had also long been used to this scene. He just nodded his head and continued to ask, "What are you doing?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, my maids and others are printing books."
Li Shimin and everyone behind him: "..."
I'm fooling around, who is the printing shop like this?
A woman who can’t pick her shoulders and hold her hands must have a limit on what books she can print, just to make jokes.
