Chapter 256
Lin Xuan smiled, picked up the teacup and drank it.
He sent a lot of tea to the Cheng family. The Cheng family and the Cui family were related by marriage, so it was normal to get tea.
"I don't know why Miss Cui is looking for me?" Lin Xuan asked.
Cui Yuxiu pursed her lips and said, "Master Hou should know that after Master Hou left Chang'an, someone wanted to steal Master Hou's technologies, right?"
Lin Xuan frowned, and said with a half-smile: "Of course I know this. Ms. Cui told me this, do you know who is behind those people?"
It is easy to know that this matter was done by the aristocratic family, but he still doesn't know how many families are involved.
Cui Yuxiu came to him because she wanted to get rid of the Cui family.
"Master Hou was joking, how could the little girl know." Cui Yuxiu said somewhat unnaturally.
Lin Xuan said with a half-smile, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Cui Yuxiu stroked her hair by her ear, and said, "I want to tell Lord Hou that this matter has nothing to do with our Cui family."
Lin Xuan was noncommittal, and said, "Miss Cui came to me for more than that, right? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Cui Yuxiu took a deep look at Lin Xuan and said, "I want to discuss cooperation with Lord Hou."
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "The Cui family is willing to hand over Cui Xu?"
No matter what, he has plans to cooperate with the Cui family.
Cui Yuxiu nodded, and said: "The family has made a clear investigation. It was indeed Cui Xu who assassinated Lord Hou earlier. Although he is from the Cui family, but he sent someone to be a dignified magistrate, the Cui family will naturally not cover him up. It's just that , Cui Xu is alert, and has already noticed it. Now that he has fled to Goguryeo, the Cui family really has no way to hand him over to Lord Hou."
"Miss Cui, you want me to cooperate with the Cui family just because of this?" Lin Xuan said.
Lie to a fool!
If the Cui family really wanted to hand over someone, how could Cui Xu escape.
It may be true that Cui Xu ran to Goguryeo, but it is hard to say whether he escaped.
Cui Yuxiu said: "Master Hou, the Cui family has removed Cui Xu from the family tree, and there will be no such person as Cui Xu in the Cui family from now on."
Lin Xuan nodded, and said, "The Cui family's move is quite sincere. Anyway, I can agree to cooperate with the Cui family, but I have one request."
Cui Yuxiu said quickly: "Master Hou, please tell me that as long as the Cui family can do it, they can agree to Master Hou."
Lin Xuan put down the empty teacup and said, "I want to do one more business with the Cui family."
Cui Yuxiu just picked up the teapot, when she heard Lin Xuan's words, she was stunned.
She thought that Lin Xuan would make some harsh demands, but she didn't expect Lin Xuan to want to cooperate with the Cui family in other businesses.
"I don't know what kind of business Lord Hou is talking about?" Cui Yuxiu said hesitantly.
She didn't know what Lin Xuan's idea was, but she felt that things should not be so simple.
Lin Xuan said lightly: "Book!"
"Book?"
Cui Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master Hou wants to make books?"
Lin Xuan nodded, and said: "I want to sign an agreement with the Cui family. I will make books and let the Cui family help sell them. The price must be secretly set by me. Every time a set is sold, according to the price of each set of books For the number of words, I will give the Cui family fifty to two hundred words."
"What Master Hou said is true?" Cui Yuxiu couldn't believe that Lin Xuan would be so kind.
Datang's current set of books, depending on the number of words, probably costs between one and two.
Many people may think that the price is not expensive.
However, the ordinary people in Datang could not save any money at home even if the necessary expenses were removed for a year.
And reading is not enough just to have books, which is why many people can't afford to read books.
The Cui family also prints and sells books. Lin Xuan's profit is similar to that of their own printing and selling, but the printing step is omitted.
Calculated in this way, it is much more cost-effective than printing them themselves.
Seeing Cui Yuxiu in a daze, Lin Xuan said, "Miss Cui is not willing?"
Cui Yuxiu came back to her senses, pretended to be calm, continued to pour tea for Lin Xuan, and said, "Master Hou must have other conditions."
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "I only have one request. The Cui family must sell my books in various cities of the Tang Dynasty, and the price must be sold according to the price I set. If the Cui family violates the agreement, they must pay me 500 million guan! "
Cui Yuxiu frowned, and said, "Your Majesty's request is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "As long as the Cui family does not violate the agreement, naturally there is no need to pay compensation."
Cui Yuxiu admitted that Lin Xuan was right, no matter how you look at it, the Cui family took advantage.
"Okay, I can agree." Cui Yuxiu said.
She really couldn't think of any reason not to agree.
Lin Xuan said: "In order to prevent the Cui family from breaking the contract, this agreement needs to be witnessed by Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty can agree?" Cui Yuxiu asked in surprise.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Cui doesn't need to worry about this. Miss Cui just needs to inform the Cui family to send someone who can make decisions to come to Chang'an."
"Okay! I'll send a letter back to the family immediately." Cui Yuxiu said.
She didn't know if Lin Xuan had any conspiracy, and she was going to report the matter to the family, so that the family could have a headache.
……
Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, Li Mu walked to Li Shimin's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Baiqi secret report."
secret report?
Hearing this, Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, took the secret report and read it.
Not long after, the smile on Li Shimin's face disappeared.
As he saw more and more content, Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy.
Li Mu and the other eunuchs and maids serving in the main hall were a little uneasy and bowed lower.
"boom!"
Li Shimin grabbed the glass cup on the table and threw it out hard.
Everyone in the hall was startled, not knowing why Li Shimin suddenly became so angry.
It's not that Li Shimin never lost his temper, but it is very rare for him to throw things like this.
"It's in vain that I trust you so much!" Li Shimin shouted loudly.
The secret report wrote about what happened after Hou Junji arrived in Gaochang.
The soldiers plundered, raped, and raped Princess Gaochang, and executed King Gaochang, including corrupting [-]% of the treasure. (Twenty percent was used by Hou Junji to buy off the morale of the army.)
Once a person has doubts, it will not fade away so easily.
Before Fang Xuanling said that Hou Junji had embezzled treasures, Li Shimin still didn't quite believe it.
But when he became suspicious, he couldn't help but send someone to investigate.
Li Shimin panted heavily, walking up and down in the main hall of the study.
Before, he thought that King Gaochang was really poor.
Only now did he realize that Gaochang was not poor at all, and most of the wealth had been embezzled by Hou Junji.
He knew that Hou Junji was greedy for money, but he believed that no matter what, Hou Junji was loyal to him.
He thought that even if Hou Junji was greedy for ink, he would be greedy for a little bit at most, so it was considered a reward for him, and he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, Hou Junji swallowed most of it directly.
He really wanted to ask Hou Junji if he was still the emperor in his eyes.
What made him even more angry was that Hou Junji not only insulted Princess Gaochang, but also executed King Gaochang.
King Gaochang and his concubine are only handled by him, the emperor.
What Hou Junji did was simply audacious.
Li Mu didn't know why Li Shimin was so angry.
The reason why the secret report is a secret report is that only Li Shimin can read it.
……
Duke Lu's Mansion
Hou Junji looked at the box full of treasures with fascination.
Madam Hou looked at these treasures, not any joy, but worried.
"Master, is there really nothing wrong with this?" Mrs. Hou asked with a worried expression on her face.
She already knew about Hou Junji's impeachment, and she also knew how much disaster these treasures would bring if they were known.
Hou Junji said indifferently: "Madam, don't worry, everyone has taken it, and no one will report it. I have traveled thousands of miles to lead troops to destroy a country, so what's the matter with taking some treasures."
"Master, we are already the Duke's mansion, aren't we rich enough? Wanting so many treasures will only bring disaster." Madam Hou sighed softly.
If it is a reward, no matter how much it is, she will be happy.
These questions were all taken by Hou Junji for himself, so why not worry about it?
Hou Junji didn't know what he thought of, he snorted coldly: "The Duke's mansion is also divided into first, second and third ranks, how old is my Duke in Chang'an?"
Thanks to the wind ~ memory, the boss zombie, a little book boy in the world, and the monthly ticket that only the heart is not in love.
