Chapter 172 There is no big family in the world who is not easy to deceive
The emperor is the biggest dog owner in the world!
There is a difference between big people and bad people. Although big people are easy to deceive, they at least treat their money as money. Big people are different! They are the kind of people who have too much money and don’t want to count it, but they can make them pay obediently without even using any strategy.
kind.
Xu Qing's country once encountered a wealthy merchant. Dongfeng, who had 100 million green coins, bought thirty-five green coins without blinking an eye. Both parties were surprised. One thought the sale was expensive, and the other did not regard the money as money.
But now, if you give a note to the Ministry of Accounts, you can allocate a lot of money. This department will deduct a little, and that department will take a bite...
Alas, he is indeed a big dog!
Xu Qing bets that if someone were to inspect the imperial government's account books according to scientific methods, they would definitely find many big black holes.
There are definitely many corrupt officials in the imperial court.
But then again, no matter how stupid the emperor is or how powerful he is, some corrupt officials can still be found out through a period of open and covert inspections.
But why are some clean up completely and others still let them be safe even if they are discovered?
This is the emperor's way of balancing. Unless Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is so ruthless, the emperors will most likely not kill corrupt officials.
Because corrupt officials are also divided into traitors and capable officials!
Although the emperor was very unhappy, he could not die yet since his value had not been exhausted.
Did you die like this after greedy for so much money? I feel uncomfortable! Get up! Work for me!
Once this corrupt official loses his use value or threatens the emperor's rule, it will be terrible...
The emperor found various reasons every minute and used various strategies to deal with you.
Even if the emperor's old father dies, you, a corrupt official, must be killed and then buried...
But... if you are the kind of corrupt official who has no use value at all, the court can randomly pick anyone to replace you...
Tsk tsk tsk...I'm sorry...immediately! Immediately! Die for me!
The Emperor...a strange creature between smart and stupid...
But fortunately, Xu Qing is very glad that he is not the emperor. If he were the emperor, he would be heartbroken to see his ministers taking his money and not doing business!
…
After finishing the pastries, shopkeeper Xue Da went to see the shop Xiao Ye had just bought.
The newspaper sample just now was still printed by Qingxue Study, because although the shop was quickly bought by Xiao Ye, printing equipment, counter bookshelves and other facilities were not yet installed.
But the good news is that Qingxue Study has already made sample engravings, and the engravings can be used directly after the Yongzhou Xunbao is completed.
In Dachu, although movable type printing is widely used, woodblock printing has not been eliminated. For sage books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, almost every big bookstore needs its own set of woodblock printing. If you need to print it, you can use it directly.
Spend more time formatting.
As for the module distribution of the newspaper and the patterns on each page, Xu Qing also used original engravings, and the content inside was filled with movable type printing.
Therefore, a newspaper must go through two printing processes before it can be sold.
By almost tomorrow, Yongzhou Xunbao, the largest newspaper store in Chu and the first in the world, will be able to start working normally.
I still remember that when Qingxue Bookstore first opened, the facilities used were either inherited from Prince Xian's Mansion, or they were purchased by Kaiyuan Bookstore for money.
Things have changed a lot now. Qingxue Study is already the largest bookstore in Yongzhou City. For things like printing equipment, craftsmen will work overtime to make them if you just beckon.
Everyone in the industry knows that you can mess with anyone in Yongzhou City, but don’t mess with Qingxue Study!
The Li family bookstore caused trouble for Qingxue Study, and he was gone...
He also lost the pirated copies of Qingxue's books in Liu's bookstore...
The son of the former Yongzhou Sima took people to Qingxue Study to cause trouble. Yongzhou Sima and his son directly packed up and sent them away...
When it comes to lawsuits, Qingxue Study Studio has not yet failed!
However, they can't afford to be at odds with Qingxue Study, because now they have signed a contract with Qingxue Study. Everyone can sell Qingxue Study's books, but the profit must be split 50-50 with Qingxue Study.
Qingxue Study calls this model a channel...
…
Xu Qing slumped on the chair and took a bite of the pear Xiao Ruxue brought from home. He had not been involved in a lawsuit for a long time and his hands were itchy...
Is there anyone who has no eyes to complain about?
He could no longer hold back the passion in his heart!
But it's a pity... We are all smart people, and we won't be able to work together for a while.
Moreover, the father-in-law of the owner of Qingxue Study is still the magistrate of Yong'an County...
What? Who in the hall is suing my son-in-law?
Tsk tsk... Anyone who has gone through so many big and small tribulations and still wants to file a lawsuit with Qingxue Study is either a fool or a lunatic!
…
Very early on, the backyard of Qingxue Study was a small world for Xu Qing, Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue. The printing equipment and space were placed in a separate workshop very close to each other.
There were very few people in the backyard, and at most one maid was left to help copy the books. However, in many cases, even the maid was not needed. Xiao Ruxue would sit next to Xu Qing and help Xu Qing copy.
It's really surprising that these three weird people don't have the habit of being served by maids and servants.
That's all for Xu Qing. It has become a habit to come here alone.
Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye... the children who grew up in the prince's family, with such a family background, can develop such an independent character. This is really rarer than the giant panda!
Xiao Ruxue is now much more sensible than Xu Qing when they first met, they are completely different!
And the reason why Xiao Ruxue would put aside her own time to play around and work tirelessly to help Xu Qing copy books was because she wanted to be the first one to see new stories.
Xiao Ruxue was happy to copy the book, so Xu Qing went with her.
I can only send her an extra grilled fish or fried chicken leg in the future to compensate.
In the evening, it was Su Qian who came to take Xu Qing back.
Xu Qing walked out of the door and looked at Su Qian and said, "My wife is still ill now. Didn't she say she didn't want to pick me up?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "It's just a small cough. After eating the rock sugar snow pear made by my husband, it's no longer a problem. I practice martial arts all year round, so this minor illness is not considered an illness."
…
At the entrance of Qingxue's study, the two maids watched the scene of Xu Qing and Su Qian walking away side by side and couldn't help but whisper.
"You see, my boss and his wife are so loving. Even in such a cold weather, my boss's wife came to pick me up."
"Yes, didn't you hear what my boss said just now? My boss's wife just coughed a little, and my boss felt very distressed... If only I could meet such a husband..."
"I have never seen such a loving couple as the host family..."
…
Just as the two maids were discussing in low voices, a voice came from behind. The voice had the shrillness of a girl, but the difference was that there was an extra coldness in it.
"If you don't go to work, what are you talking about here?! Half a month's wages are gone!"
The two maids turned around and saw Xiao Ruxue watching them with a stern face.
The two maids quickly bowed and begged for mercy: "Miss Xue, please calm down. I don't dare to do it anymore! I don't dare to do it anymore!"
Xiao Ruxue snorted without saying a word, turned around and got on the carriage going home.
Only the two maids were left in place...
The rest of the people immediately dispersed when they saw this scene.
Miss Xue usually doesn't have any airs. Even if her servants make mistakes, they rarely blame her and only give a few reminders... What happened today... And they didn't say anything bad about her boss... They were obviously praising...
…Isn’t it okay to praise a couple’s love for each other?
