"Brother, why are you here? I'm just about to find you!"

After seeing Yu Zhi do it, Lao Qi looked excited.

"Look for me?"

Yu Zhigan looked at his younger brother with some curiosity. Why did he ask for him for nothing? Did he already know that he had sold his paintings before?

"Brother, my father praised you for your buffet very well. Many brothers are ready to open it. I heard that the fourth brother is also planning to open a store and has already chosen a store!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhigan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Brother, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"Brother, you are the prince. This was originally invented by you. You were praised by your father alone. Now they all have a buffet. This is to rob you of venture capital!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhigan touched Lao Qi's head and smiled: "Lao Qi, sometimes, being praised is not necessarily a good thing, and as brothers, everyone should share with each other instead of being jealous of others!"

After hearing Yu Zhi's words, Lao Qi was stunned, and then felt very ashamed. His elder brother turned out to be such a noble person. He didn't even want to praise his father for his brotherhood. Who said that the imperial family has no family affection?

"Brother, you are really a good person!"

“Σ(⊙▽⊙”a??”

Yu Zhigan was stunned and confused. Why did he chat well? Just give himself a good person card? Don’t want this damn good person card!

"Oh, by the way, brother, you came just right. I bought two copies of Liu Jia's "Book and Text Annotations!" today. I can give you one to my brother!

After saying that, he took out a piece of Shu brocade that was obviously valuable from a box that looked very valuable, and then slowly opened it, revealing the two thread-bound books inside!

"???" Yu Zhigan was stunned again. What was Lao Qi doing? A box made of golden nanmu contains two books wrapped in Shu brocade? The price of the two books is probably not even worth the Shu brocade!

"Brother, these two books were written by Mr. Liu personally, but I bought them for a lot of money!" After saying that, I carefully handed a book to Yu Zhigan.

Yu Zhigan just took it and felt a smell of horse urine. There was no way. The papers these days all have the smell of horse urine, so Yu Zhigan hates reading. Well, it turns out that Yu Zhigan doesn’t like reading either, but there is only one more reason.

“This book is expensive?”

Yu Zhigan picked it up and flipped it out. The handwriting seems to be good, but it is not so precious, right? It is both golden nanmu and Shujin!

As a time traveler in the 21st century, paper books are not expensive at all, so Yu Zhigan did not have much understanding of the value of books. There are two houses of books in the East Palace, so after Yu Zhigan came here, he did not think that books were expensive.

"This book costs 200 taels!"

As Lao Qi said, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. When the number 200 taels was said, he was very careless!

"What?"

Yu Zhigan now suspects that his seventh brother is pretending to be 200 taels of silver for a book? Based on the current four cents per kilogram of rice, 200 taels is equivalent to the future 20,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan to buy a book. And it doesn’t seem to be an ancient book, as if it was just written, it feels crazy no matter how you look at it!

"Brother, this is the manuscript of Mr. Liu. The price is of course a bit expensive. The average hand-written version is cheaper, just fifty taels!"

Yu Zhigan listened to Lao Qi's words and now he really wanted to slap himself. He was just a pig. He was really a pig. What kind of buffet is he who made his own miscellaneous things? How good is he who made his own books? No, it's not about publishing books, how good is he selling books?

A book costs fifty taels of silver? I just made a movable type printing. I don’t need fifty taels of silver. I’m making 10 taels of silver. I’m crazy about making ten taels of silver!

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Yu Zhigan didn't say anything, Lao Qi asked in surprise.

"Lao Qi, tell me, are books so expensive?"

"expensive?"

Lao Qi frowned and shook his head: "Brother, this price is not very expensive!"

"Fifty taels are not expensive!"

“Learning is priceless!”

"(#￣￣￣#)" Lao Qi is good at 13-mounted clothes, Yu Zhigan wants to give him thirteen praises!

"Lao Qi, how much does an ordinary book cost?"

"Don't you know?"

Yu Zhi nodded. Isn’t this nonsense? Where did he know that he is not a person who loves to study, and he will not take the initiative to buy books. Only when he sees the hell will he know the price of the books?

Lao Qi thought for a while and said, "Brother, the price of a book is not fixed. The cheapest one is the rough-made Analects and Confucius type. Most of these books have vague handwriting, and most of the buyers are poor students!"

"How much?"

"The new book is roughly about five taels of silver! This is the cheapest one. Generally, unless you really have no money, no one will buy it. You are too bad!"

Lao Qi shook his head as he spoke.

After Yu Zhigan heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter. This is a business opportunity, a naked business opportunity. The worst book is five taels of silver per book!

No wonder the poor children in ancient times could not afford to go to school. This book costs five taels of silver, not to mention the fees they had to pay when they went to school. Not to mention the common people, even some small landlords probably couldn't afford a student!

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Zhigan sighed a long sigh, and then said with some melancholy: "I didn't expect that my Tang Dynasty books are so expensive. How can those poor children learn the thoughts of saints? Alas! Sad, sad, my dignified Prince, it's really heartbreaking!"

"Brother, it's not your fault!"

"I have thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, but there are very few people who read and read. As the prince, I must reduce the price of books so that more poor families can read books!"

Yu Zhigan said passionately. After Lao Qi heard this, little stars kept exploding in his eyes, like a little fan!

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Well, my brother hasn't figured it out yet, but Lao Qi, my brother needs your help!"

"Brother, you said that as long as it is within your ability, I will definitely help you!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhigan quickly thought in his mind whether he should ask Lao Qi to fund him? However, when he thought of the later profits, Yu Zhigan still held back. Once he took Lao Qi's money, he would not give it to Lao Qi after making money. It was a bit ugly to eat!

"Old Qi, in this way, you will list me the most popular books now and write out some essential books for scientific examinations!"

"Brother, this is simple. You can wait and I can write it out now!"

"Uh, do you have a book? Just give it to me!"

"Okay, brother, wait a moment, I'll get it now!"

Yu Zhigan nodded, and was already full of joy. I don’t know how many books there were, but he must have saved a lot of money.

"Zhang Xiaojing!"

At this time, Yu Zhigan called softly, and Zhang Xiaojing, who was originally wandering around the sky, turned to look at Yu Zhigan: "Your Highness!"

"Well, you need about ten people to find some craftsmen with better carvings!"

Zhang Xiaojing thought for a moment: "Your Highness, if you look for craftsmen in the East City, the price is not cheap. However, you have many craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, which can be free..."

After Zhang Xiaojing and Yu Zhi were together for a while, he was very stingy about the prince. For His Royal Highness, things that could be handled without spending money are good things. Once he was asked to spend money, he would be cutting his flesh.

Although I don’t understand why His Highness, the crown prince of a country, I don’t know what he experienced?

"Good idea!" After hearing Zhang Xiaojing's words, Yu Zhigan's eyes lit up!

Yu Zhi narrowed his eyes and had already made arrangements in his mind. As expected, nothing can compare to the right!

At this time, a little desire arose in Yu Zhigan's heart. Why don't you try to be an emperor by yourself?

But then I thought of the endless official posts on my father's desk and all kinds of miscellaneous things. Yu Zhidan couldn't help but feel that he should forget it. It would be better to kill himself than that kind of life!

"Your Highness, the commander of the Jingdu came to the mansion to find you?"

"Hmm? Jing Ke? What is he here to do?"

When Yu Zhigan heard the report from Lao Qi's guard, he was stunned. Is this Jing Ke so funny? What are you looking for him to come to Lao Qi's mansion?

"Your Highness, you send someone to notify the commander of the Jingdu to come to find you!"

"That's it! What am I going to do with him?"

Yu Zhi thought about it for a while and it seemed that it was a fraud in the imperial examination. Thinking of this, Yu Zhigan looked around. This was Lao Qi's mansion, and it seemed a bit difficult to deal with things here.

"Forget it, tell him and let him wait a while, and then go back to the East Palace with me later!"

"yes!"

At this time, Lao Qi walked out of the house with more than a dozen books: "Brother, these books are all the most common books on the market!"

"Hmm? So little?"

"Brother, these books are all the words of saints. We can understand one of them and benefit from it endlessly!"

Yu Zhigan did not agree with Lao Qi's remarks and thought for a while: "Where are some other books that are more popular?"

“The rest of the more popular books?”

At this time, Lao Qi's face suddenly turned red: "Brother, there are some books, some, some not-so-class novels!"

"Ahem, what is a bad novel? For example?"

"It's all written by some unofficial history or some low-ranking people, as well as some spring pictures!"

Hearing these words, Yu Zhi narrowed his eyes and understood in his heart that his dignified Prince would definitely not do these things. He just wanted to understand the market conditions!

"How are these books selling? How much is the price? Does it violate the Tang Dynasty's rules!"

Yu Zhigan swears that he just wanted to understand the market conditions and really had no other ideas. How could a pure and good boy like him do something illegal and disorderly? He is the crown prince and must set an example!
