The property in the memorial handed over by Hou Junji was all ordinary goods.
He originally thought that there were no treasures in Gaochang, but now he saw that there were none. It turned out that Hou Junji had brought them all back home.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Li Daozong advised.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked, "How was the investigation of the other two matters?"
Li Daozong said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the other two things should be true, but there is no evidence for the time being."
Li Shimin nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Let's end this matter here."
Li Daozong was not surprised at all and responded: "Yes!"
…
When Lin Xuan left the East Palace, he was very happy with a smile on his face.
"Master Hou, where are we going now?" Liu Da saw Lin Xuan kept giggling, so he had no choice but to ask.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, pretended that nothing happened, thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Mo Xuan Zhai."
I heard from Li Shimin two days ago that the dictionary has been printed.
Lin Xuan turned around and paid attention to the dictionary and learned that the dictionary was officially on sale today.
Mo Xuanzhai also dealt in books, and Lin Xuan wanted to see if the dictionary was acceptable to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"It's finally my turn, give me two copies of "Zhenguan Dictionary"!" A scholar who had been waiting for a long time looked excited when it was his turn.
"Okay, wait a moment~"
The waiter took the money and handed it to the person counting the money. When they finished counting and signaled that he had no questions, the waiter handed the two dictionaries to the scholar.
The scholar took the dictionary and left very happily.
"Haha~ give me ten copies! One copy is only 300 yuan, which is too cheap." A middle-aged man in rich clothes said with a smile.
The price of "Datang Dictionary" can be said to be very cheap.
Judging from the number of words in the dictionary and the paper used, Wu Guan may not be available for purchase.
But because Lin Xuan made cheap paper, and Li Shimin wanted to popularize dictionaries to increase the number of children from poor families, he made no money at all, so it was so cheap.
"You bought so much, are you going to use it?" the person behind said somewhat unhappily.
"You want so much, are you going to use it all?" The person behind the middle-aged man in fine clothes said unhappily.
The man in fine clothes turned around and said, "Can't I buy more and put them away?"
The waiter quickly said: "Sorry, each person can only buy up to three books at a time."
"What! Is there such a thing?" the man in the attire said in surprise.
His seat was bought with money. Because he wanted to experience it, he bought it himself.
But he didn't know about the purchase restriction at all, so he made a joke.
Seeing the waiter nodding, the middle-aged man in fine clothes had no choice but to say: "Then get me three books."
There was a long queue outside Mo Xuan Zhai.
"Everyone, please line up and don't crowd. There are enough copies of "Datang Dictionary" and everyone can buy it."
The waiter who maintained order shouted loudly. From his hoarse voice, you could tell that he had shouted it many times.
It has been more than an hour since the dictionary went on sale.
The queue in front of the store is still crowded.
There are scholars in gorgeous clothes and farmers in coarse clothes and linen.
When Lin Xuan arrived, he saw such a lively scene.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with He Xinmin's response.
There are so many people, and if someone is not sent to maintain order, it will be troublesome if trampling occurs.
…
In an alley not far from Moxuanzhai, a carriage stopped.
A young boy who had just bought a dictionary walked to the carriage and said: "Sir, I bought the "Datang Dictionary"."
"Well, bring it." The curtains of the carriage opened and a man's voice came out.
"Yes!" The boy quickly handed the dictionary in.
The car curtain closed, and the car fell into silence. The boy stood motionless by the car, waiting for instructions.
"Hurry, go back home!"
Not long after, a hurried voice came from the carriage.
"yes!"
The boy didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly got into the carriage and drove away.
The carriage turned around and stopped at the gate of Cui Mansion.
Cui Zhifeng hugged the dictionary and hurriedly got off the carriage.
"Yuxiu, you are smart. Not only did you eliminate Lin Xuan's suspicion of the Cui family, but you also promoted cooperation. As long as you wait for a reply from the family, you can officially cooperate with Lin Xuan." Cui Hao said with a smile.
Cui Yuxiu said calmly: "As long as you don't do anything without telling me in the future."
Cui Hao smiled coquettishly and said: "We are also doing it for your own good. The girls' families don't want you to know about the killings."
Cui Yuxiu glanced at Cui Hao without comment.
"It's not good, it's not... it's okay."
At this moment, Cui Zhifeng ran in panting.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Cui Hao stood up quickly and asked.
Cui Yuxiu didn't say anything, just picked up the dictionary and started reading.
Cui Zhifeng put the dictionary on the coffee table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and drank it. He took a breath and said, "We were tricked by that boy Lin Xuan. Look, such a thick dictionary only sells for three hundred words.
"
"What! Is this a dictionary?" Cui Hao looked at the dictionary in Cui Yuxiu's hand.
Cui Yuxiu handed the dictionary to Cui Hao and frowned.
Cui Hao turned over a few pages, his face changed drastically, and he said, "No, I want to send a message to the family immediately."
"Wait!" Cui Yuxiu stopped Cui Hao.
Cui Hao said anxiously: "We can't wait any longer. Look at this dictionary. It's so thick and only has 300 words. If they print other books, the price will only be cheaper. If our Cui family helps him sell books, it won't take long for the books to be sold."
It will spread. I asked Lin Xuan how could he be so kind."
Cui Yuxiu frowned and said: "Even if the paper is cheap, plus the cost of printing, selling at a price of three hundred yuan will not make much profit. But Lin Xuan promised me that each set of books will give our Cui family fifty to two hundred yuan.
What does he want?"
Cui Hao thought for a while and said with some confusion: "You mean, only dictionaries are so cheap?"
Cui Yuxiu nodded and said: "The dictionary and the pinyin that the Imperial College withdrew from before complement each other. This price should be set by the royal family. As far as I know, the royal family is not short of money now."
It is no secret that Li Shimin wants to train children from poor families.
Dictionaries are very helpful for word recognition. It is not impossible for Li Shimin to sell them for money.
And if the aristocratic families want to maintain their status, they don't want to have a large number of children from poor families. This is where they conflict.
Cui Hao frowned and said: "However, even if the dictionary is supported by the royal family, it is an indisputable fact that the cost of books has become lower. With the addition of dictionaries, more and more people will be able to read and write. Cooperating with Lin Xuan, it will
Our family is very disadvantaged."
"Yes, I just said that Lin Xuan is not good-hearted and cannot cooperate with him." Cui Zhifeng quickly agreed.
Cui Yuxiu said calmly: "Do you think that if the Cui family doesn't cooperate with Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan wants to create a book, everyone will cooperate with him? The book will not be sold?"
Lin Xuan has Li Shimin's support behind him. Even if the Cui family doesn't cooperate with him, he can still sell the book. He just needs to spend more time.
"But if you do this, won't you offend the other families?" Cui Hao said.
They can make money by cooperating with Lin Xuan, but the interests of other companies will suffer. It's strange that they are happy.
"If the paper for printing books is cheaper, how big of a difference can it make? Lin Xuan's books are at most a little cheaper than other people's books. If you can't afford it or can't afford it, how big of an impact can it have? Uncle Clan just needs to tell the current situation.
Go back to the family, the family will consider it. Why should we worry about it in vain?" Cui Yuxiu said.
Cui Hao's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, yes, I will send a message to the family right now."
