Li Shimin

"Hey, shopkeepers, why do you have to leave suddenly?"

After such a short period of time, these shopkeepers all left suddenly, leaving the shopkeeper in a daze.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

The shop assistant on the side also looked at a loss.

"Go, go to Tianxia Library across the street, and buy ten more... no, twenty books of these two books!"

Unexpectedly, when he first entered the bookstore, he found that the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and he directly handed him four pennies.

"Yes"

After hearing this, the shop assistant hurried out.

After a while, he ran over from Tianxia Library on the opposite side with forty books in his arms.

at the same time.

Back to the shopkeepers of the various bookstores, they also quickly withdrew a few coins from the cabinets and handed them over to the clerks of each store, so that they could buy books in a hurry.

……

Inside the Tianxia Library.

"Shopkeeper, there are no books!"

A store clerk, sweating profusely, found the shopkeeper Li Hou who was busy collecting money.

"If you run out of books, go to the bookstore to move them!"

Li Hou didn't raise his head, and said directly.

"The shopkeeper has moved twice, and now the bookstore is gone!" the shop assistant shouted.

"Impossible, the warehouse has accumulated [-] books, how could it be gone!"

"Shopkeeper, it's all sold out!"

"All sold?"

"It's really sold, shopkeeper, there are still many book customers who have already paid, and they are waiting outside!"

"Wait a minute, register these book users first, and at the same time, they are not allowed to collect fixed money. I'll go find books now!"

After speaking, Li Hou hurriedly ran out.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Hou was already standing in Xiande Hall.

"You said that all the books have been sold out?"

Hearing this, both Li Chengqian and Li Gang could not help but be surprised.

"Returning to Your Highness, the [-] copies have all been sold out. Now, there are still many people who have paid the money, but they can't get the books, and they are guarding outside the library!"

Li Hou quickly replied.

"Go and find some books from Yu Gui and Xie Siyun!"

Li Chengqian said quickly.

"Returning to Your Highness, when the villain passed by, there were not many books left in Yu Gui's and Xie Si's libraries, and they are probably sold out now!" Li Hou's face was full of helplessness.

"A total of [-] books, adding up to [-] copies, how could they sell so fast?"

Li Chengqian couldn't believe it.

"Your Highness, it's only been less than three days. According to the enthusiasm of these people, it can sell at least [-]!"

Li Hou said excitedly.

"Reprint, must reprint as soon as possible!"

Li Chengqian's face brightened, and he said hastily.

At the same time, Li Gang at the side couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face.

These two books sold so fast, although he didn't get a penny, but he also participated in the whole process of typesetting and binding these books, which still gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Li Hou said quickly.

"Li Hou, please explain to those people first, and let those people come back tomorrow. Now, even if the bookstore speeds up printing, it will only be able to print [-] copies tomorrow. You must make it clear to those people that the three of you can sell at most [-] copies every day. Ben, tell them not to worry!"

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian said again.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Hou nodded, and then said again: "Your Highness, there are still more than 2000 coins in the library. You must send someone as soon as possible to take all the money away! Putting it in the library, the villain would not dare to leave it at night." Go back and stay in the library all night, for fear that someone will steal the money!"

"Don't worry about this, someone will grab the money in a while!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After saluting and thanking Li Chengqian, Li Hou left.

Accompanying them are a group of Eastern Palace guards.

Soon, these guards returned to the East Palace with three carts of money.

"Your Highness, this is the money for selling books in Dongshi Library. There are a total of [-] coins!"

Li Fu reported to Li Chengqian.

"That much money?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian was full of excitement, and hurriedly walked to the front of the three carriages, opened the curtains, and there were piles of copper coins inside.

Suddenly, his face flushed.

As for Li Gang who followed behind, his face was also full of joy.

"Your Highness, these have almost paid off!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help being startled.

After thinking for a moment, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Teacher, so to speak, just printed [-] books, and earned nearly [-] coins!"

"This……"

Li Gang slightly supported his forehead.

……

Chapter 62 Excited Li Shimin

……

"Your Highness, that's not how you settle accounts!"

Although he was a little worried about Li Chengqian being so obsessed with money now, Li Gang still talked about it patiently.

"Teacher, I remember that the money used to print these books is less than two thousand guan!"

Li Chengqian was a little puzzled.

"But Your Highness, you haven't included the salaries of the storekeepers and shop assistants in those libraries. In addition, you haven't included the cost of opening those shops."

Li Gang said.

"Teacher, I remember that the three libraries used two hundred coins. As for the wages of the shopkeepers and shop assistants, they can't even spend two hundred coins in these three days." Li Chengqian said to himself.

"Your Highness is right, this matter is due to the old minister's negligence."

After listening, Li Gang sighed slightly.

When you are old, you can't even count as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in terms of arithmetic!

Immediately, he hesitated for a moment, then held back and said again: "However, I hope Your Highness will not blame the old minister for talking too much."

"Teacher, what are you talking about? As a teacher, if Gao Ming does something wrong, you can just scold him!"

Li Chengqian was startled, and said quickly.

"Your Highness, you are the crown prince of the dynasty and the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you must manage the country and handle government affairs. You must not be obsessed with the ways of merchants."

Li Gang said.

"Teacher, please don't worry, Gao Ming is just a little excited when he sees so much money all at once."

Li Chengqian said quickly, and then gave instructions to Li Fu who was on the side.

"Go to Tonghuafang and Baoningfang quickly, and bring back the book money from these two libraries. I want to report the good news to my father!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Fu bowed his hands and saluted, then walked out quickly.

Seeing this, a trace of worry flashed in Li Gang's eyes, but he didn't continue to say more.

As for Li Chengqian, he sat on the sofa in Xiande Hall all the time. After Li Fu got all the money from selling books in the two libraries, he packed them in boxes and was carried by the guards to Taiji Palace. .

……

At this time, in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was receiving Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others.

The new year is coming soon, and Datang is short of money.

Hearing that Prince Li Chengqian came to the Tai Chi Hall with a group of guards from the Eastern Palace and several large boxes, everyone couldn't help but stop, and looked out of the hall with curiosity on their faces.

After all, a child who is only ten years old, although he is a prince, is still a child, and everyone is very curious about making such a high-profile move.

"My son has seen the father and uncle, all the princes!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

After Li Chengqian came in, he found that everyone in the Taiji Hall, including his father, was staring at him.

He couldn't help touching the back of his head in embarrassment.

However, thinking of the [-] guan coins in the box behind him, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and he was also helping his father to relieve his worries.

"Gao Ming, why are you here?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Go back to Emperor Father, the child has sent money to Emperor Father!"

Li Chengqian said.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they all thought of the big boxes outside the hall.

"Gao Ming, what kind of money did you send?"

For Li Chengqian, Li Shimin at this time is full of love and patience.

Therefore, even if he has already guessed the answer, he is still ready to seriously accompany Li Chengqian to continue talking.

"Return to father, the [-] copies of "Numbers and Arithmetic" and "Letter of Enlightenment" printed by the boy have all been sold out."

Li Chengqian's eyes were full of excitement, and he said: "One book sold for one hundred copies, and a total of four thousand coins were sold, and the money is placed outside the hall."

"What, are they all sold out?"

"Forty thousand copies, all sold out?"

"Only one hundred characters a book?"

At this moment, everyone in the hall was full of astonishment.

Especially Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, although they knew that His Highness was going to open a library to sell "Number Arithmetic" and "Letter of Enlightenment".

However, I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would dare to sell a book for only one hundred coins.

Moreover, the action was so fast, it seemed that they had sold [-] books before they received any news.
