Hearing movement inside the car, Li Chengqian couldn't help but slowly opened the curtain and looked outside.
"Weiwei Li, it's me!"
Just then, everyone sitting on the roadside raised their heads and smiled at Li Fu.
"Cheng Dalang? Yuchi Dalang? Fang Family Dalang..."
Li Fu was stunned to see that these people who looked like street gangsters were actually the eldest sons of several royal families in the city.
As for Li Chengqian, his heart was beating fast and his face was full of helplessness.
"Cheng Chusi, what are you doing here?"
However, thinking of what Chang Sun Chong reported to him a few days ago, Li Chengqian still asked.
"Your Highness?"
When they saw Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others also looked surprised.
Soon, he stood up, patted the dirt behind his butt, and ran over with a happy face.
"Your Highness, I'm waiting for the Prince of Hejian!"
"What are you waiting for the Prince of Hejian County to do?"
"Your Highness, we want to enter this village to see the Quyuan Plow!"
"A few days ago, when we arrived outside this village, there were guards ordered to guard us and not let us in. Even Li Chongyi couldn't get in!"
"After we returned, we were disgraced. Not only were we punished by Aye, but we were also ridiculed by the dandies in Chang'an City every day..."
"Even Li Chongyi's search for the Prince of Hejian was in vain. Therefore, we can only stay here and wait for the Prince of Hejian!"
"..."
Li Chengqian was confused, "As the Minister of Rites, Prince Hejian has a lot of government affairs all day long. How can he come here every day? Besides, why don't you go to the palace to find Prince Hejian?"
"Hehe, Your Highness, we are not stupid to wait. Li Chongyi goes to find his Aye, and everyone goes in. I can't wait. It's better to just stay here, and there is a possibility of being brought in by the Hejian County Prince."
"As for whether the King of Hejian County will come or not, I don't care about that. Anyway, the King of Hejian County will definitely come here, so I'll just wait and see. We don't have anything important to do on weekdays!"
Cheng Chusi and others looked indifferent.
Then, looking at Li Chengqian, his eyes lit up as he thought of something.
"Your Highness, can you take a few of us in? We won't do anything, just take a look at the plow and restore our reputation!"
Li Chengqian:......
"Your Highness, if there are too many people, we can leave the guards outside!"
Cheng Chusi said.
"I can't bring anyone in without the permission of the King of Hejian County!" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, I can pretend to be your bodyguard!"
"My guards can't get in either!"
"Your Highness?"
At this time, Cheng Chusi and others were a little dumbfounded.
After a moment, Cheng Chusi couldn't help but widen his eyes, opened his mouth, and shouted: "Your Highness, the Prince of Hejian County dares to let you walk alone in Zhuangzi. As the prince and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, you are not surprised at all.
not allowed.
Your Highness, the Prince of Hejian County has acted like this. I will return to the palace immediately and ask my Aye to go in front of His Majesty... Allow me to serve as a bodyguard for His Majesty!"
"That's right, Your Highness, as the Crown Prince, how can you not have guards around you?"
"Your Highness, when I return home in the evening, I will look for my Aye!"
Li Chongyi also followed suit.
"If you're not afraid of getting beaten for this matter, just go ahead. I'm going to enter the village!"
Li Chengqian glanced helplessly at these actors, then got into the carriage and asked Li Fu to continue moving forward.
He came here today, but he had something big to do, and he had no intention of acting out here with these people.
However, Cheng Chusi, who had been staying here for several days, had no intention of letting go of such a good opportunity.
Following Li Chengqian's carriage.
However, when they arrived outside the gate of Zhuangzi, Li Fu and his carriage stopped. Only Li Chengqian walked in alone, holding a few books.
Obviously, Li Chengqian did not lie.
Seeing this, Cheng Chusi and others believed that His Majesty was really strict about Zhuangzi here.
…
The time Li Chengqian chose was the time when Li Xuan was leaving school.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Xuan, lying on the sofa, closing his eyes and relaxing.
"I've met the Master!"
"Huh? Gao Ming."
Li Xuan opened his eyes and was slightly startled when he saw Li Chengqian.
"Today shouldn't be your school time!"
"Hui Master, it is indeed not the case!"
Li Chengqian slightly cupped his hands and replied.
"Then why did you come? Aren't you afraid that the master who taught you classics and history will blame you?" Li Xuan was a little confused.
Not only no, I’m very happy!
Li Chengqian secretly complained in his heart, but his face was full of joy.
"Master, when I came, I had already obtained the master's consent!"
"Is something wrong?"
Li Xuan understood somewhat.
"Master, I, Aye, have agreed to open a library. In the past few days, I have found someone to rearrange and bind your two books. However, I don't know which method you prefer.
I have bound three volumes of different styles and brought them over for you to take a look at and see which one you like."
As he said that, Li Chengqian had already placed the book in his hand on the coffee table in front of Li Xuan.
Place them side by side.
"Um!"
Just taking a look at it, Li Xuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Sure enough, the literati of the Tang Dynasty really went to the extreme in terms of book typesetting and binding. Every style was exquisite and luxurious, and they reborn their books part-time.
Compared with those who bound it blindly, it is basically the difference between a top scholar and an enlightened child.
"These three are all perfect!"
Li Xuan praised.
"I wonder which one you like, Master?" Li Chengqian asked.
"The middle one!"
Li Xuan replied casually.
Li Chengqian was startled by his casual appearance.
However, due to the authority of Master Li Xuan, he still nodded quickly.
"Master, there is one more thing!"
"What's the matter?" Li Xuan asked.
"Because these two books are both written by Master, I would like to ask Master to set a price for these books!" Li Chengqian said.
"Pricing?"
Li Xuan was startled.
"Exactly!"
Li Chengqian nodded quickly.
"What are the prices of other books?"
This time, Li Xuan was stumped.
Choose a style and there are three options for him to choose from.
When it comes to pricing books, you don't have any choice.
"Back to Master, now in the bookstore of Chang'an City, a copy of "The Thousand Character Essay" costs 500 coins, while a copy of "Education for Enlightenment" costs 450 coins, and a copy of "Jijiupian" costs 300 coins!"
After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian quickly replied.
"So high?"
After hearing this, Li Xuan was startled.
When he had nothing to do before, he would make calculations based on buying rice, which would cost ten cents to buy a bucket of rice. In later generations, the cheapest rice was two yuan per catty (I dare not consider rice that is too expensive).
At this time, ten bushels of rice were equivalent to one stone, and one stone weighed about eighty kilograms.
Then, one penny at this time is equivalent to six yuan.
An enlightenment book costs more than a thousand yuan!
"If you think it's expensive, you can lower the price! It all depends on your wishes!"
Li Chengqian said quickly.
"So, how about selling a book for one hundred liters?" Li Xuan said.
"One hundred coins?"
Li Chengqian was startled.
Although my father wanted to make it accessible to the common people, I didn’t expect that my master’s price would be even lower.
"Is it too low?"
Li Xuan asked.
"It doesn't matter, this book is Master's book, the price is determined by Master!"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.
"That's it, that's one hundred coins!"
"yes!"
"Master, do you have the titles of these two books?"
