After exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Yang, Du He personally invited him to the hall and entertained him with delicious food and drinks.
Finally, ask Yang Hao to bring a thousand dollars and give it to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang accepted it with a smile on his face, saying that he would definitely say a few nice words for Du He in front of His Majesty.
After Zhao Yang left with satisfaction, Yang Hao asked doubtfully: "Master, if you want to bribe Mr. Zhao, one thousand dollars is too little?"
Zhao Yang is Li Er's inner chamber, and is also the general manager of the palace. The gifts given by others cost at least ten thousand yuan to start with. This guy is really not short of money.
Du He shook his head: "What do you think of His Majesty today?"
"Wing Ming Shen Wu, this is what you taught me."
"Regardless of whether he is a wise man or not, His Majesty is not a fool. Do you think that Zhao Yang has been following him for many years and has been favored, so how can he bribe him casually? If we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to bribe Zhao Yang today, would you believe it?
Your Majesty will be able to kill Zhao Yang tomorrow? Besides, Zhao Yang is a very thief and is not easy to bribe. He is your Majesty's absolute confidant. This thousand dollars is just to befriend him." Du He explained.
road.
Du He was somewhat aware of Li Er's temper.
The biggest characteristic of His Majesty is that he is extremely suspicious and does not believe anyone.
Du He then ordered: "Tell Zhang Jian and let him have more contact with Ximen Qing. Doesn't that guy like rare treasures? Feel free to send them as much as you want. Don't be afraid of spending money. Compared with Zhao Yang,
It’s much easier to capture Ximen Qing.”
"yes!"
Yang Hao agreed with a serious face.
Du He's behavior was equivalent to someone committing a crime. Yang Hao knew that if Du He had not regarded him as one of his own, he would never have said this to himself. He had already followed Du He with all his heart.
…
After Li Er's 100,000 yuan was received, Du He immediately ordered to stop the printing of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and sent Yang Hao to go to the palace in person to get the first batch of books from the Imperial College.
There are more than fifty books in total, and 5,000 copies have to be printed within fifteen days. The workload is actually not small.
However, Du He has no plans to recruit new workers.
More than thirty craftsmen, including printing and binding, are enough.
The reason why Du He took this job was actually because he wanted to make money on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to expand the business of Datang Bookstore. This bookshop can't count on making money from a book "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". The market will always be saturated.
Recently, Du He has noticed that the sales of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" have begun to decline.
From the second day on, Datang Study began production with all its strength.
At the same time, local officials heard that Li Er called on everyone to donate money to rebuild the Imperial Academy, and they all mobilized one after another. Those with money donated money, and those with materials donated materials. Big families in the capital also took action, and there was a steady flow of Kaiyuan Tongbao, silver, and even gold.
, all arrived at the palace.
In just a few days, Li Er received more than two million yuan.
Li Er was a little unable to react.
Judging from Datang's tax revenue last year, the total tax revenue for the whole year was only over 80 million yuan.
However, Li Er accepted the remaining money shamelessly and had no intention of giving Du He a tenth of the commission. When Du He heard the news, he just smiled and didn't care, but said:
"Anyway, this money will be mine sooner or later."
…
Sikong Mansion.
Ever since Changsun Chong was able to walk on the ground, he started shouting like crazy to take revenge on Du He.
He beat things at home all day long, and almost everything that could be smashed in the room was poisoned by him. He also poisoned several newly recruited maids in the house.
On this day, Changsun Chong wanted to seek revenge against Du He again. The servants could not stop him, so they had to report to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji hurried to the yard, only to see Changsun Chong standing with his staff, with a crazy look on his face, shouting: "No one can stop me, I'm going to kill Du He, he blew me up like this.
My Cuiwei Building was also blown up, I want revenge, I want to kill him!"
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and was so angry that he slapped Changsun Chong twice.
Changsun Chong was stunned at the time and looked at Changsun Wuji in disbelief: "Dad, you actually hit me?"
Changsun Wuji said coldly: "Dad is beating you for your own good. Chong'er, what are you doing wrong? Why do you want to provoke Du He? Then Du He is the famous man in front of His Majesty. He gave the explosives."
, and now the movable type printing technology has been invented. Your Majesty's favor towards him is unparalleled. Now he wants the wind and the rain. If you become an enemy of him at this time, aren't you asking for death? Besides, he is now
If you have explosives in hand, what can you use to fight him?"
Snap.
Changsun Chong threw the stick to the ground and looked at Changsun Wuji unwillingly: "Dad, you are the uncle of the state, and you are the Sikong of the dynasty. How can you be so indifferent to Du He's insult to your son?"
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and asked the servants to leave.
When no one was around in the yard, Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong and said: "Chong'er, dad understands your feelings, but a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. That little beast Du He behaves strangely and has many tricks.
You must not be an enemy of him without complete preparations. All you have to do is to endure it, wait for the opportunity, and kill him with one blow."
"Dad, but..."
Changsun Wuji interrupted rudely: "No but, from today on, you should reflect at home and don't go anywhere."
At this time, someone outside shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness is here!"
It turned out that it was Li Chengqian who came to visit his eldest grandson Chong.
In the past few days, Li Chengqian would occasionally come to Sikong Mansion.
Changsun Wuji whispered: "Don't forget, Du He and the prince have become mortal enemies. After the prince ascends the throne, Du He will die."
"Dad, I understand!" Changsun's eyes lit up and he nodded happily.
…
Besides, it had only been two days since Chang Sunkong listened to Chang Sun Wuji’s words, but he couldn’t sit still anymore.
It happened that his cousin Wang Fugui came to visit.
As soon as Wang Fugui came to see Changsun Chong, he started crying: "Cousin, you don't know something. During these days, Princess Changle used her status as a princess to suppress our Wang family all day long. The wood our Wang family had hoarded before,
She bought them all at a low price. I heard that the wood stored in Datang Furniture Factory is enough to last two years, which is really deceiving."
Changsun Chong heard this and was so angry that he banged his head on the table: "What, Lizhi got involved with Du He? What the hell is going on?"
"Cousin, it turns out you don't know yet?"
Wang Fugui said in surprise, and then told Changsun Chong everything that happened recently.
Changsun Chong almost fainted after hearing this.
Starting last year, after Changsun Wuji's hard work, Li Er had already made plans to bring down his beloved Princess Li Li of Changle to Changsun Chong.
This matter is now known to both the government and the public.
However, now his unofficial fiancée has gone to Du He's furniture factory?
Changsun Chong was so angry that he wanted to smash things again.
