Chapter 180: Help me confront the emperor in court
"Losing money and making a profit? What do you mean?"
Wei Zheng had never heard of this statement before and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Xiao Qin, please explain to him." Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu waved their hands, turned and walked back to the counter.
The books in the bookstore only sell those enlightenment books, so naturally they will lose a lot of money.
But if we sell some books that everyone likes to read, that won’t necessarily be the case.
Taking advantage of the fact that these days are not very busy, Zhao Chen wants to write a few books quickly.
"The so-called profit at a loss means that our early items can be given to the people at a loss to let them know about the existence of our items."
"This will help us become famous. If our family sells something good in the future, everyone will rush over as soon as possible."
"In this way, it will have the effect of advertising."
"Zhao Chen, am I right?"
After Qin Huaiyu finished explaining, he asked Zhao Chen again.
"Absolutely correct." Zhao Chen looked over and nodded in approval.
Lose money and make money!
Wei Zheng nodded secretly in his heart and couldn't help but look at Zhao Chen with increasing admiration.
But, he suddenly thought...
"Did you send those people in the east and west markets today?" Wei Zheng walked up to Zhao Chen and asked.
"It's the ones who give free chili fried pork to taste on the street." Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't seem to react, Wei Zheng reminded him again.
He is an admonishing doctor, and he supervises not only the officials in the court.
Even if something big happens in Chang'an City, he still has the responsibility to report it.
Today, the east and west cities are so tightly blocked that even the government officials patrolling the streets have no way to deal with it.
But Wei Zheng was very angry.
It turns out that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually here.
"Next year I plan to promote the cultivation of peppers. Peppers will soon be worthless. Mr. Wei, do you want to join us?" Zhao Chen put down his pen and said to Wei Zheng with a smile.
After hearing Zhao Chen's words, Wei Zheng felt a little moved in his heart.
r\u003e After all, he has tasted the taste of chili pepper, and he also knows in his heart that chili pepper will soon be replaced by pepper.
He can imagine how much revenue Chili will earn by then.
only……
"The two Dukes Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong have put out a total of 22,000 guan. Don't you want to join?" Zhao Chen whispered.
Wei Zheng was an upright man. When he heard what Zhao Chen said, he instinctively glanced at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu who were talking behind him.
"Zhao Chen, what do you want to do?" Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Colluding with court officials is a serious crime. You..."
"Don't you like to fight against the emperor? How about you join my cause and help me fight against the emperor in the court?" Zhao Chen smiled slightly, as if he didn't hear what Wei Zheng just said.
Wei Zheng hesitated.
If you quarrel with the emperor and push him into a hurry, who knows if the emperor will strike with a sword.
Moreover, why did Zhao Chen let himself confront the emperor?
"Even if you only invest one thousand guan, before next year's Dragon Boat Festival, I can benefit you with more than 3,000 guan. Think about it carefully." Zhao Chen smiled slightly and was not impatient.
As for Zhao Chen, his health is getting better day by day.
Many people are now eyeing him.
If we don't have some of our own people, the situation in the future will probably be extremely difficult.
Although Wei Zheng is stubborn, his loyalty is not a problem.
If you can get him to stand with you, many things will be easier to solve in the future.
But Wei still couldn't understand why Zhao Chen allowed himself to go against the emperor.
Do you want to send him directly to the West?
"Old Wei, you can think about it slowly. Anyway, the next season's chili production won't start until mid-spring next year."
"Thank you for the bookstore clerk today.
"Zhao Chen smiled and continued to write his own things.
…
"Gao Yuanjing was called into the palace by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty?"
At the inn in the West City, Lun Qin's face suddenly darkened when he heard the report from his subordinates.
"How long?" Lun Qing asked quickly.
"It's been about an hour," the subordinate reported back.
"Sir, Gao Yuanjing shouldn't dare to tell anyone about our affairs." Others advised.
Although Goguryeo was located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, its location was remote.
The national power is also weak, and no one has ever dared to offend it.
"In front of Li Shimin, even if he doesn't want to say anything, what can he hide?"
"Order to go down..."
"Bang bang bang!"
Before Lun Qin finished speaking, he heard a rapid knock on the door from outside.
The people in the room suddenly changed their expressions and drew their swords one after another.
"Who?" Lun Qin shouted.
"It's me, Gao Yuanjing." Gao Yuanjing's weak voice came from outside the door.
Lun Qin frowned and asked the person beside him to carefully open the door.
Then they saw Gao Yuanjing standing at the door with his face covered in blood, and his body seemed to have scars from whipping.
"What's wrong with you?" Lunqin didn't see anyone else outside, so he pulled Gao Yuanjing in.
The men stared at the window and did not see anyone following them on the street.
"I was beaten by Li Shimin's subordinate Cheng Yaojin. They thought I would tell what happened that day, so they tortured me severely."
"Although the physical pain is painful, it is not as hateful as the insult he did to me, Goguryeo." Gao Yuanjing cursed angrily and slapped his hand on the table.
Lun Qin stood aside, saying nothing, observing Gao Yuanjing's expression.
"Tomorrow Li Shimin will definitely summon Master Lunqin into the palace. A lot of physical pain is inevitable. Please hold on, Master Lunqin."
"This matter cannot be
Let Li Shimin succeed. "
"hiss--"
After Gao Yuanjing finished speaking, he let out a breath of pain.
"Brother Gao goes to apply the medicine first." Lun Qin said with a smile, and someone took Gao Yuanjing away.
"Sir, Goguryeo is a lackey of the Tang State. How could Li Shimin punish Gao Yuanjing? This matter must be strange." As soon as Gao Yuanjing left, someone said to Lun Qin.
This is also where Lun Qin is suspicious.
Goguryeo has always been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty. How could Li Shimin be so vicious to Gao Yuanjing?
Could it be that Li Shimin was really anxious and crazy?
"There is no rush now. I will find out when I enter the palace tomorrow."
"In the past few days, pay close attention to Gao Yuanjing's movements. If there is any difference, kill him immediately." Lun Qin said with a stern look on his face.
…
On the morning of the next day, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu went to the East and West cities to protect the villagers who were "losing money".
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang headed towards the palace.
Yesterday, Zhao Chen promised that Queen Changsun would come here, and Zhao Chen was not one to break his promise.
The two got on the carriage and soon arrived outside the imperial city.
The general responsible for guarding the imperial city had already received the order and let the carriage enter the imperial city with a smile on his face.
Further forward, the carriage could not pass, so the two had to get down and walk.
"Zhao Chen, why don't you let me take you around the palace later?"
"There are a lot of interesting things here." Li Ruoshuang carried the medicine basket for Zhao Chen and walked in front of him with a smile.
Looking back at Zhao Chen, he said to Zhao Chen while stepping back.
"Do you come to the palace often?" Zhao Chen asked casually.
The imperial city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was extremely majestic.
At a glance, there are countless pavilions and pavilions.
The palace roads were crisscrossed, and Zhao Chen understood why others said that once entering the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea.
If there is no one to lead the way, isn't it just running around?
