The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Tang Sufan coughed twice, as if he didn't see this guy, he turned his body away from the greeting.

He turned around and looked at Ma Zhou and said leisurely.

"It's King Bin, let's go, it's too noisy here, go to my place and talk about it slowly."

Looking at Tang Sufan with a leisurely and shameless expression, Ma Zhou was thrown into a mess in the wind.

If this paper-making place is related to the entire Tang Dynasty context, the popular Datang Daily in Chang'an City is not just like him.

In contrast, how can this matter be explained to the imperial court behind Chang'an Bookstore, which is not as hot as the current fire?

But now, Ma Zhou, who was so whipped after hearing the news, thought that Mr. Tang would also be anxious and lustful.

Unexpectedly, it seemed like it was not their own business.

Ma Zhou said quickly even before he could catch his breath.

"Sir, how's the fire damage here? Can we still investigate more carefully?"

The reason why Chang'an Bookstore was able to be established within six months was entirely due to the new paper and printing produced in Jinghe Village.

Now, it is clear that there are wicked people planning to suppress Chang'an Bookstore.

There is a profound meaning in it that even Ma Zhou can briefly think about.

I saw Tang Sufan waving his hands leisurely and moving his mouth to indicate over there, with a calm and calm expression on his face.

"No, here, didn't you see that the burning is finished?"

Ma Zhou: ...

On the side, Li Yifu stood up indignantly.

"Sir, the student dares to say that the Chang'an Bookstore founded by him is connected with the world's cultural context and has benefited countless literary students. It is an act of great justice for the country and the court. Now that the thieves are causing trouble, although you have the great intention not to worry about property, This act and this act are intolerable to the laws of heaven."

"The villain thinks that it is necessary to report to the court and investigate to the end. This evil deed must be severely punished!"

That majestic and angry look on his face made Li Yifu's face flush.

At this time, Tang Sufan glanced at it as if "waking up from a dream".

"Hey, brother Yifu, you're here too."

Li Yifu: ...

However, Li Yifu's face suddenly brightened, he lowered his head and clasped his fists and replied.

"The Yi family is ashamed to be called brother."

At this time, Ma Zhou quickly explained.

"Young Master, after the Imperial Academy of Yifu came to work, he had no way to become an official. Although Yifu has little talent, he also has great righteousness in his heart."

"So Brother Yifu has been working as a volunteer at Chang'an Bookstore to help King Bin. However, things are urgent today, so King Bin asked Yifu to come with him."

The inner secrets of Chang'an Bookstore, the Young Master has ordered, must not be known to outsiders.

Now that the young master asked this question "deliberately", Ma Zhou was so frightened that he quickly explained.

When Li Yifu said he wanted to come to Chang'an Bookstore to volunteer, he also guessed that he would be helpless in Chang'an, and now he was lucky enough to take the first step.

If you can help your friend more, please help him more.

This guy is really determined to complain to his family members.

Tang Sufan smiled, did not answer, and patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder.

"Okay, Prince Bin, calm down and let's go. I just brought out a pot of fine wine. Come to my place and chat slowly."

Although Tang Sufan did not blame Ma Zhou, he breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

"Sir, I..."

Ma Zhou was so anxious that he almost shed tears.

God knows that he, the nominal head of Chang'an Bookstore, is now carrying the official position, and now that something happened to Chang'an Bookstore's paper workshop, he cannot escape the blame.

The imperial court will definitely investigate, and there is no need to think about his consequences.

How can he still be in the mood to drink that wine now?

"Okay, don't be in a hurry, I have something to explain, but I can't explain it clearly here."

After that, he glanced at Li Yifu intentionally or unintentionally.

"What about that? Yifu, how about we come together?"

Hearing this, Li Yifu suddenly became excited and hurriedly followed the martial arts.

"Yifu is honored!"

Tang Sufan explained a few words, in summary.This workshop, let it go, after the fire is dealt with, it will be bulldozed again, and we will discuss it later.

No one asked about Tang Sufan's wealthy behavior.

Returned to the courtyard.

Ma Zhou's face was filled with anxiety, while Li Yifu looked secretly at it.

He is worthy of being a little poetry fairy, with an innocent mind. He lives outside this village, but he is famous in Chang'an!

"Bin Wang, get ready for the next two days. Datang Bookstore will keep its doors closed. All Datang Daily will be published at another date."

Hearing this, Ma Zhou was shocked!
"My boss! This matter is not trivial. I have to go to the Minister of Finance before making a decision."

Nowadays, even Ma Zhou is a little confused about the relationship between Tang Gongzi and the imperial court.

For example, there is a clear distinction between the imperial court and the Tang prince, but there is also a subordination relationship that treats it as if it exists, but treats it as if it does not exist.

Ma Zhou couldn't help but ponder every time, why the Tang Dynasty Daily, which affected the whole Tang Dynasty's reputation, was so famous that the court's work was so popular, but the real power was in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

How unfathomable Mr. Tang really is.

You should know that today's Chang'an Bookstore follows the Taiqing Division and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province.

And now Shangshu Youpushe is a close minister of the emperor, Mr. Fang Xuanlingfang, a veteran minister of the Prince of Qin's palace!

Even Mr. Fang, who was in Shangshu Province, turned a blind eye to Mr. Tang's instructions about Chang'an Bookstore.

So now that Ma Zhou is familiar with everything behind Chang'an Bookstore, he has long been filled with doubts.

But, I didn’t dare to ask more.

"No need to retaliate, just do as I say."

Tang Sufan said firmly, and the promised wine was placed in front of the three of them.

With a few side dishes, Tang Sufan drank and ate leisurely, while Ma Zhou and Li Yifu listened like two students.

"Sir, what you did this must be from a wealthy family. It's my humble opinion! This is inappropriate!"

Li Yifu struggled for a long time and still said from the side.

Regarding Li Yifu's words, Ma Zhou also secretly blamed Yifu for being a little arrogant.

Tang Sufan glanced at it lightly.

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"Sir, Yifu would like to speak boldly."

Li Yifu picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, as if to embolden himself.

Then he said——

"From the beginning of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the powerful families have monopolized the world's knowledge and cut off the world's official career. Although they are able to outsmart others, they gather power in power!"

"It is not good for the world, the people, and the Holy One!"

Ma Zhou on the side was almost so frightened by Li Yifu's words that he knocked down the cups in front of him. Li Yifu was filled with righteous indignation and continued talking with an obviously stunned expression.

"How many students from poor families in this world are determined to serve the country, but they have no way to become an official or to serve the country? Depending on their family background, they neglect their knowledge, although the path to becoming an official has been available since ancient times!"

"It is widely said in the world that talent is the first priority and virtue is the criterion, but why is this door of shortcuts recommended in the world's books open to the poor in the world? The Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult for the people of the world to count. This is even more unfair and unfair. !”

"The world has been studying hard for a long time. One book can be completed in one year, and one piece of paper is as valuable as copper and gold!"

"When scholars in the world become officials, they should put their country first, not their family background. If things go on, won't our Tang Dynasty be like the evil consequences of the eight powers that interfered with politics in the north and south of the Wei, Jin, and South!?!!!"

Ma Zhou: ...

Pfft, I shouldn’t have brought this idiot here today!
Then Li Yifu clasped his fists and bowed his head!
"Mr. Chang'an Bookstore, what you did is a great righteousness and a holy act for the poor family and students in the world. If you avoid the side door at this moment, you will be able to endure it for a while instead of for a lifetime."

"So, Yifu would like to implore, sir, Chang'an Bookstore, don't close it!"

"Yifu!!!"

At this time, Ma Zhou finally held back his brows, and hurriedly stopped.

These words are nothing less than a thunderous shock. It doesn’t matter if he loses his official uniform. If these words get out, his life will be lost!
From the beginning to the end, Li Yifu's shocking words scared Ma Zhou's heart.

Where do people dare to say these words?You don't want to die, do I still want to die?
Hearing Ma Zhou's stop, Li Yifu quickly kept his mouth shut as if aware of it, and with a look of panic, he hastily confessed to Tang Sufan.

"Sir, Yifu...is too...talkative."

But in fact, what needs to be said is just outputted in one go.

The last look of fear, this is called emotional intelligence...
