If Xu Qing hadn't caught Su Qian in time, it would have been in vain that the store had moved so much this afternoon after Xiao Ye finished speaking.
Of course, most of the reason is that Su Qian is not as experienced as Xiao Ye, a guy who talks nonsense, otherwise... Su Qian is a person who slaps a stone table with his bare hands, but he, a rookie who has practiced martial arts for more than a month, can do this
Are you staying?
Obviously not……
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, looked straight at her. Even if this woman was Brother Xu's wife, she couldn't flirt with her in public, right?
What a bad impact!
Xu Qing hurriedly said at this time: "Ahem, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Brother Xiao, this is Su Qian, my... uh... boss, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said, "Boss, you don't want to be on the same level as him because he talks so openly."
Su Qian took her arm away from Xu Qing's hand without looking for any trace, nodded casually and said: "Well, you can prepare your shop here first, I'll leave first."
After that, Su Qian went out and left. She couldn't help much by staying here.
Xiao Ye came up and looked at Xu Qing at this time and said: "Brother Xu, what do you do? How come you have a female boss?"
In feudal society, the status of women was not as good as that of men. Xiao Ye would never accept a woman weighing on him.
But Brother Xu can bear the humiliation and bear the burden so much!
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Originally I rejected a woman as my superior, until she broke off a corner of a stone lamppost with her hands..."
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said, "So Brother Xu is afraid of her force?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "No, it is really very safe to follow such a boss!"
Xiao Ye: "..."
At this time, Xiao Ruxue suddenly said: "By the way, I found these things in the palace's treasury."
With that said, he waved to the outside and said, "Bring it in quickly!"
Then, a few guards came in with two large wooden boxes from outside, and judging from how hard they were struggling, these two large wooden boxes looked very heavy.
Xu Qing opened the box and saw small squares placed inside.
He looked happy and said: "Copper movable type!"
Then he wondered: "Why is there still copper movable type in the palace?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "I heard that the palace tried to run a bookstore in the past, but because no one in the palace was good at it, it was closed soon, and these copper movable types were gathering dust in the treasury.
."
Xu Qing was stunned and said: "The palace runs a bookstore? Didn't it say that officials are prohibited from doing business?"
Xiao Ruxue said matter-of-factly: "But we are not officials, we are nobles."
Xu Qing thought about it and found out that this was indeed the case. Officials and nobility were separate.
What does the law prohibiting officials from doing business have to do with Wang Jue?
If you put it this way... At this moment, Xu Qing has already begun to think about how to get a title.
The prince who built a business empire...just thinking about it makes me feel excited!
However, since the founding of the country, the title of Duke has not been awarded again, and the title is not awarded unless there is military merit. If some miracle does not happen, Xu Qing will most likely not be able to get such a title in this life.
Some dreams are just as good as dreaming during the day.
Don't take it seriously...
Bookshelf and other items have been purchased, and the guards of the palace are helping to arrange them.
As for the several rooms in the backyard, they can be used to store printing equipment, allowing craftsmen to print and typeset in the backyard.
Prince Xian's Mansion
study
A man in armor who looked like a guard presented a box in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, these are memorials sent from the capital, please approve them."
The wise king flipped through a few books at random, frowned and said, "Why are all the memorials sent to me?! What does his emperor do for a living?! Send these books back for him to take care of."
The man in armor did not dare to take a breath, but bowed and said: "Yes."
Among the many princes in Da Chu, only his own prince can speak so forcefully. Who allows him to control the military power of the entire Da Chu?
In this era, military power can only be mobilized by relying on military symbols. The two are in harmony with each other and are perfect, so that troops and generals can be mobilized.
Under normal circumstances, the military talisman could only be in the hands of the emperor. When needed, the emperor would have a close associate take the military talisman and go to the garrison town to mobilize troops for battle.
But in this era of Chu State, except for some problems.
The military talisman is in the hands of the wise king.
As for how the military talisman came into the hands of the wise king...because he was an emperor before.
But he only became emperor for half a year.
Moreover, five and a half of the past six months were either on the battlefield or on the road to battle, and were not in the capital at all.
After the imperial commander came back from the expedition, he lied that he was seriously injured and needed to rest, and then he put his own brother on the throne.
However, the military power was not handed over, only the power to handle political affairs was given to him.
No matter what era, only those with soldiers in their hands have the right to speak.
The wise king undoubtedly understood this.
As for why he is not an emperor... being an emperor is so tiring... he approves endless memorials every day, and summons loyal ministers from time to time to enhance the loyalty between the emperor and his ministers.
Besides, there is the issue of accepting concubines. Do you think that when you become an emperor, you can accept whomever you like?
No, that would be unethical.
Moreover, do you think you can refuse to have a concubine if you don’t want to?
Is it up to you, the emperor, to accept a concubine or not?
If you don’t accept concubines and have no heirs, are you worthy of your ancestors?
Not accepting a concubine does not mean that the emperor is immoral; it is the empress who is immoral, and may be accused of jealousy.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the late emperor was already very successful at the age of the wise king!
The wise king looked through the history books and found that no emperor lived long, whether it was Chu or Zhou!
From the moment he became emperor, the wise king began to formulate plans for the Zen throne.
Coinciding with the transition of imperial power and the instability of the country, Zhou State looked for an opportunity to invade the border, giving the wise king such an excuse.
Successfully abdicated the throne.
My life was saved.
As for the biological brother on the throne?
Isn’t the younger brother just there to cheat?!
After processing several important memorials sent from the imperial city, he waved his hand and asked the guard to send them back to the capital.
Then he hired the palace steward.
The wise king looked at the housekeeper and said, "Where are Xue'er and that naughty son? It's abnormal that the homework was completed so quickly today."
The butler bowed his head and said, "Back to the prince, His Royal Highness, Princess Yongle, and the man named Xu Qing have been getting closer recently."
"Xu Qing?" King Xian thought for a moment and then looked at the housekeeper and said, "Is that Xu Qing who is known as the most talented person in Yongzhou?"
The butler cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
The wise king murmured to himself: "Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. It is not a bad thing that they are close to this talented man named Xu Qing."
Then he asked: "What are they doing together?"
The butler cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yongle seem to be planning to open a bookstore with this talented man named Xu Qing..."
