Li Ke smiled and hummed a charming ditty off-key, walked into the East Palace, and walked happily towards the Li Zheng Palace.
The small court meeting in the East Palace has ended, and Cheng Chubi is accompanying Li Chengqian in the palace garden, continuing to stay where they usually stay.
"Brother Chu Bi, look, they actually caught a butterfly..." Li Chengqian's slightly excited voice suddenly sounded.
Cheng Chubi, who was sitting on a big rock and leaning against a big tree, almost fell asleep, heard the yelling of the prince who was good at ribs and rolled his eyes feebly.
Cheng Chubi stood up straight with a yawn on his face and took a closer look. He saw a dying butterfly with one wing broken and struggling to die.
I couldn't help but shake my head with compassion. Oh, look, how cruel it is. Those ants are trying to drag the butterfly into the nest alive.
Before they could finish their sighs, they saw Li Ke wandering towards this side from a short distance away.
"Brother, Brother Chu Bi, what are you doing here?" Li Ke's voice came first before anyone arrived.
As a conscientious and conscientious prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian has learned to shamelessly slap haha.
"Nothing, I'm just sitting here for a while after I'm tired of walking around with Brother Chu Bi."
"Brother, Brother Chu Bi, today's newspapers have been sold out again, not a single page is left."
After Li Ke greeted the two men with a smile, he couldn't wait to report the good news.
"It's really all sold..." Li Chengqian smacked his mouth, couldn't help but feel happy, and turned his head to look at Brother Chu Bi.
"Then shall we..."
"That's no need. We can't pluck His Highness the King of Wei's wool so uncontrollably."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect that Michelin King Wei was quite impressive. For three days in a row, he probably bought at least 60,000 copies, right?
Although the newspaper didn't make much money, after three days and 180,000 copies, it still made 720 pounds.
Even though the King of Wei asked his servants to be careful about their development, after all, so many newspapers were transported to the Palace of the King of Wei, how could they hide the process from Chu Bi and them.
If he hadn't thought about collecting the wool of His Highness the King of Wei a few more times, Cheng Chubi could have printed two to three hundred thousand copies at a time, directly scaring off the King of Wei Li Tai.
Li Ke sat down on the big rock feeling refreshed and said happily.
"This time, I bought 180,000 copies in three days. I don't know if the next issue of the newspaper will have such good sales..."
Although at least half of the newspapers were bought by Wei Wang Li Tai and merchants from various places, the remaining newspapers almost met Chang'an's needs.
In the past two days, the sales volume of the clothing store where Li Ke advertised has increased significantly. The sales volume in one day is enough to equal the sales volume in the past half month.
This also made His Highness King Wu, who was so poor that he wanted to pawn his crotch cloth in a pawn shop, finally harden his back a little bit.
Li Chengqian shook his head in confusion and looked at Brother Chu Bi and Li Ke with evil smiles on their faces.
"I asked you two, if we do this, wouldn't it be bad..."
Cheng Chubi looked at the overly kind-hearted Crown Prince and said angrily.
"Your Highness, look at you, we haven't done anything bad. We sell newspapers to meet the needs of scholars in Chang'an."
"As for the fact that His Highness the King of Wei is willing to buy so much, maybe he thinks that our "Chang'an Xunbao" is very collectible and is planning to buy it for collection."
"Even so, brother, you don't have to speak for the third child. Is it possible that you still don't know what he is thinking?"
Li Ke also hated Tie Bu Chengang a little and said, "We didn't target him. He deliberately targeted us. If he suffered a loss, then he deserves it."
Li Chengqian sighed softly, nodded and said no more. "Well, I understand, since he is willing to suffer losses, it is his own business, so I can just pretend that nothing happened."
"That's right, Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. When Your Highness should show off, you have already done so.
The most important thing to do now is to hold on tight and not waver. If you come forward, it will make that mean-spirited Highness hold a grudge against you..."
"...Brother Chu Bi, stay steady and don't let yourself wander. Little brother knows, stay tight and don't wander. What do you mean by that?"
Li Ke didn't quite understand the new terms that came out of Cheng Chubi's mouth.
"Gouzhe, what I mean by low-key is that His Highness should act low-key now to reduce unnecessary trouble.
So as not to give King Wei, who is probably extremely angry, and his party an opportunity to attack His Highness."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly and patted his healed leg.
"This is indeed the truth. He went to Chang'an alone before, which has been known to the world. He also donated more than a million books to benefit scholars all over the world."
"Indeed, a lot has been done. Now, it is really time to stabilize things."

After Li Shimin listened to the secret performance of an embroiderer, he waved his hands with a strange expression.
The embroiderer bowed respectfully to Li Shimin and then quietly retreated.
Li Shimin then picked up the tea soup on the table and took a sip. He stroked his long beard and shook his head for a long time before finally sighing and muttering.
"Do you really think you can play with that boy Cheng Sanlang? Alas..."
"Your Majesty, would you like me to remind His Highness the King of Wei?"
Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood, Zhao Kun came closer and reported in a low voice.
"No need. When children grow up, they will always have their own ideas and opinions."
"Even if I really come forward to stop him, what do you think he will think?" Li Shimin chuckled and asked himself.
"He will definitely feel that Cheng Chubi can't stand it any longer and comes to me to beg for mercy.
With Qingque's nature, even if he agrees to me on the surface, he may change Benjili in a low-key manner."
"I'm afraid he will have to suffer a few more losses before he can have a long memory. Anyway, that boy Cheng Sanlang made a fortune for Xiao Sizi..."
After mentioning the words "make a fortune", Li Shimin suddenly felt something was wrong.
His own son spent hundreds of dollars, and this money, after passing through Cheng Sanlang, turned into money earned by his daughter, Xiao Sizi.
It went from left hand to right hand, and the boy Cheng Chubi took advantage of it, which made Li Shimin a little unhappy.
Come on, that layer of oil and water should be regarded as Cheng Sanlang's reward for letting that boy Qing Que suffer a loss and gain a memory.

Finally, Wei King Li Tai met Zheng Shilang again, and Zheng Shilang personally brought several samples of "Chang'an Collected Works".
The four characters "Chang'an Collected Works" were naturally written by the Michelin-starred King of Wei, who claimed to be talented and knowledgeable.
Touching the finished product printed on the exquisite tribute paper, I looked at the beautiful fonts on it.
Wei King Li Tai finally showed a rare smile of relief on his face.
The content inside is of course different. They are all wonderful articles written by the learned men and scholars who were recruited by him.
Although there are not many, a copy of "Chang'an Collected Works" can only contain two or three articles, but every article can definitely be regarded as a masterpiece.
