God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 148

The lottery draw that day made the grandson so angry that he went back to recuperate for three days before recovering.

This morning, Chang Sun Chong walked into the gate of Shuqu Pavilion with a pale face, found Jiang Xian at the first time, and asked, "Is there any good news in the past few days when I am away..."

Jiang Xian hesitated for a while before saying, "Master... I don't know whether I should say this or not."

"Say, there's nothing you can't say. This young master has gone back to cultivate for a few days, and he has figured it out. It's no big deal if he followed Du He's way that day. The business of Shuquge will definitely be better than that broken study. The better it is, the better it will be, and you will be able to earn it back when the time comes." The folding fan in Zhang Sun Chong's hand was rattling, with a look of complacency.

Jiang Xian said cautiously: "Master, you don't know yet, right? The "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in Datang Study has now been reduced in price, only 50 yuan a copy. I thought about reducing the price before, but it was reduced to 50 yuan a copy. If we don't, we will not only be unable to keep the cost, but we may end up losing a lot!"

"what?"

Chang Sun Chong stood up excitedly, and the rotating wooden chair under his buttocks fell to the ground with a bang. He grabbed Jiang Xian by the collar and shouted: "Why? Why is this happening? How could Du He put the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" on the ground? Selling for 50 renminbi? Isn’t his movable type printing a very backward technology? Isn’t the cost more than 70 renminbi?”

Jiang Xian shook his chapped lips: "Master, we...we were all deceived by Du He, the movable type printing technique has spread all over Chang'an City, it is said that it is very powerful, it can print a large number of books every day, and the longer it takes, The cost will be lower, and now, people in Chang'an City don't buy our books from Shuquge anymore, saying that our books are of poor quality and not as beautiful as those printed with movable type."

Jiang Xian was about to cry. In just a few days, Shuquge had hoarded nearly a thousand copies of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but none of them were sold.

Chang Sun Chong's face turned pale, and he said in a daze, "How could this happen, how could this happen..."

……

Just when Shuquge's "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" could not be sold at all, there was another storm of movable type printing in Chang'an City.

For the time being, no one can figure out what movable type printing is, but it does not prevent everyone from pursuing "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" printed with movable type. Compared with the manuscript version, the printed version looks clearer, the font is more correct, and it is more comfortable to read.

In just a few days, Datang Study sold thousands of copies of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

In the Datang study, Du He picked up the sales reports of the past few days and looked at them carefully.

He taught Yang Hao to make the sales report. After a few days, Yang Hao's ability to make the report is getting stronger and stronger, and he will never get the most basic things wrong before.

"That's right," Du He nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Judging from the situation in the past few days, the sales volume is increasing every day, but this situation can't last for a few days."

"Why?" Yang Hao was puzzled, "We set the price at 50 Wen, which is half cheaper than before, and more and more people will buy it!"

Du He dropped the report and said, "You are overestimating the number of literate people in Chang'an City. In fact, there are always a small number of people who can read and write. Now thousands of copies have been sold. I want more. It’s impossible for people to buy it.”

"Then what should we do next?" Yang Hao couldn't help feeling a little worried. This Datang Study has made money by selling "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

Du He smiled slightly: "The next step, of course, is to beat the crippled elder Sun Chong. Why worry about making money?"

Just as he was talking, Zhang Du came in from the outside and said, "Master, Chang Sun Chong sent someone to deliver a letter. He wants to invite you to Cuiwei Tower for dinner."

When Yang Hao, who was next to him, heard the words Cuiweilou, his expression turned a little ugly.

"Chang Sun Chong invited me to have dinner at Cuiwei Building? Isn't Cuiwei Building a tea house?" Du He asked suspiciously.

Yang Hao said: "Since Cuiwei Building was taken over by Changsun Chong, it didn't take long to become a restaurant."

"So that's the case. I'm afraid Chang Sun Chong is hosting a Hongmen Banquet. However, even if it is a Hongmen Banquet, this young master has nothing to do with it. I still want to have a go."

Hearing this, Zhang Du was shocked and said: "Young master, you can't go. I heard that Chang Sun Chong has gone crazy these days. He lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm afraid he will do anything for money!"

Du He shook his head: "It doesn't matter, let Lu Bu go in with me, and Yiyue is outside to meet him, then I will make good arrangements, even if it is a dragon's lake or a tiger's den, I have the confidence to go there."

After experiencing the imperial court incident, Du He was more fearless than before.

Following Du He's order, all the people around moved.

Zhang Jian was more cautious, knowing everything inside and outside Cuiwei Building, and deployed a large number of people around Cuiwei Building.

Cheng Yiyue was more straightforward: "Then why bother, just go and kill the eldest grandson, won't everything be resolved?"

Lu Bu even went to Cuiwei Building overnight to inquire about the news.

Yang Hao invited back Wang Zhengsheng who was a storyteller in Chang'an City, and wanted to persuade Du He to go to the Cuiwei Building for Du He to have a banquet, but unfortunately he still failed to change Du He's mind.

No one can change what Duhe decides.

Du He suddenly discovered that after this period of preparations, the entire furniture factory and Datang Study have been on the right track, like a huge machine, slowly running.

Over time, the machine will run faster and faster.

In the past few days, Du He could always feel that there was something looking at him from the other side of the river, but he was asked to check many times, but nothing came down a few times, which made him a little uneasy.

……

The next evening.

A carriage with simple decoration left the gate of the furniture factory.

There were only Du He and Lu Bu in the car.

When the carriage got on the official road and headed towards Chang'an City, a man in black released a carrier pigeon on a hill in the distance.

The carrier pigeon flew high into the sky, circled once, flew to Chang'an City, and finally entered Cuiwei Building.

A middle-aged man took off the note on the carrier pigeon, then hurried through the floors, and went in to report to Zhang Sun Chong.

"Master, Du He has already set off!" The middle-aged man bowed and said.

Chang Sun Chong was wearing gorgeous clothes, with a sick look on his face, he suddenly smiled: "Okay, very good, I thought Du He didn't dare to come, hahaha, I didn't expect that he actually came. Once... this young master will let him come and go."

Jiang Xian next to him said anxiously: "Master, no matter what, Du He is also the son of Lantian County and Du Xiang's son. If we touch him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it at that time!"

Chang Sun Chong snorted: "There is nothing to explain, just a small Lantian County, Du Ruhui, that pedantic guy, in the court, he is not my father's opponent at all! Besides, as long as Du He obediently listens to us , this young master will not kill him, but just teach him a lesson."
