Yipin Tang

Chapter 185
At Linglong Bookstore, Xinyi looked at Wang Xiang with a puzzled face: "Buddhist scriptures? Why do you print so many Buddhist scriptures? Does anyone buy them?"

The novels that are sold every day are too late to be printed, but Wang Xiang asks her to print Buddhist scriptures, even in hardcover, no wonder it makes her feel puzzled.

There are not many people who buy Buddhist scriptures, and not many people buy them in a month, and Linglong Bookstore has never printed Buddhist scriptures.

Wang Xiang laughed and said: "You can print it at ease, remember to make it more beautiful, and someone will buy it in a few days."

Of course someone would buy them. These Buddhist scriptures are the textbooks prepared by Wang Xiang for foreign envoys who want to study in the Wan Guo Academy.

Li Er had already agreed with him to run the Wan Guo School, but he "forgot" to tell Li Er about the fees charged by the Wan Guo School.

Xinyi is only in charge of managing Linglong Bookstore. Since Wang Xiang asked her to print Buddhist scriptures, she naturally complied. Since the technology of movable type printing and novels that emerge endlessly, the business of Linglong Bookstore has improved many times. After filling up, Xinyi's monthly rewards are also extremely generous, even her somewhat dull distant uncle's monthly salary is much higher, so she is still very grateful to Wang Xiang.

"It may take some time to print. We only have eight sets of single-character engraving blocks."

The hardcover version of the book is more troublesome to print than the regular version, and Wang Xiang needs a lot of quantity, so Xinyi is worried that there will be too little time.

"It doesn't matter, these Buddhist scriptures won't be used until the next year." The Wan Guo Academy will not be able to operate this year, and can only wait until next year. "You ask your uncle to carve some single-character engravings. These Buddhist scriptures may need to be printed in large quantities in the future."

"There will be more in the future?"

Wang Xiang nodded mysteriously, he was planning to sell Buddhist scriptures to Fanbang.

After discussing the matter of printing Buddhist scriptures, Wang Xiang asked in a low voice, "Do you know where there is a better house for sale?"

"Master Hou wants to buy a house?"

"Uh... I asked for a friend from the Western Regions. He just came to Chang'an and wants to set up a house in Chang'an."

Kasang made a lot of money with the goods he brought this time. Seeing the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an, he planned to build a house in Chang'an... Of course, Wang Xiang came up with this genius excuse on a whim. Could it be possible to tell Xinyi Do you plan to hide your beauty in a golden house?
That Fusang girl named Kawamura Maya couldn't live in Ningxiang's place all the time, and every time she went there, she always felt that Ningxiang and the others looked at her obediently.

After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Xin Yi did not suspect him, thought for a while and said: "If Master Hou wants to buy a house, you can go to the dentist to have a look."

"A toothbrush? Isn't that a place where slaves are bought and sold?"

After listening to Xinyi's explanation, Wang Xiang realized that the dental prosthetics were not only selling slaves, but also introduced other products to others, similar to the intermediaries of later generations. According to you, Wang Xiang has no doubts about this. In feudal society, even people can be bought and sold, so what can't be bought and sold.

When they came to Yajia again, those people Yazi recognized Wang Xiang at a glance, and surrounded him one after another. It is rare to see such a big client with such a bold move.

Hearing Wang Xiang say that this time he is not here to buy slaves, but to buy a house, the people immediately started talking about it, the mansion of Boss Jin on the East Street, the mansion with rich doors and high walls outside Chen Yuanwai on the West Street, Yanliu Mrs. Xiang Zhao's elegant and unique house...

If Wang Xiang hadn't heard their introduction, he wouldn't have known that there were so many houses for sale in Chang'an.

"Is there a house with a hidden location and a more elegant layout?"

These people were all extremely shrewd, and they immediately understood what Wang Xiang said: "Your Majesty is planning to hide your beauty in a golden house?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiang coughed dryly and said nothing, which was his acquiescence.

There are not a few wealthy young masters and wealthy sons who have this kind of demand. A man with a sharp mouth and two big die teeth rolled his eyes and whispered: "I know a house that meets the requirements of Lord Hou."

"Take me to have a look. If you are satisfied, your benefits will be indispensable."

Dabanya was overjoyed and immediately smiled flatteringly, "Thank you, Lord Hou."

The other people who didn't grab the opportunity secretly regretted that Da Banya was the most well-informed about the sale of the house.

The carriage passed through the peach grove on the west side of Jinguang Lake and entered a quiet alley. The road in the alley was paved with bluestone slabs, and the snow on both sides had not completely melted. Perhaps because the alley was behind the peach grove, it was very quiet and there were no pedestrians. , it is a secret that meets Wang Xiang's requirements.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a tightly closed vermilion gate, Wang Xiang and Tie Dan got out of the carriage, and Big Mater had already stepped forward to knock on the door.

It is said that the gate is actually much smaller than the gate of ordinary houses, but Wang Xiang can tell that this house is very big, because half of the alley is the courtyard wall of this house, and when he looks up, he can see several The tall trees, without the lush leaves, have a different taste when they are covered with white snow.

Da Mae knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response, so he increased the strength in his hands. The scarlet door was hammered by Da Mae's fist, and the snow that fell from the eaves of the door fell on Da Mae. He was shivering from the cold on his neck, cursing in a low voice.

Wang Xiang shook his head and said, "If there is no one, we can come back another day."

"No, there is an old woman living in this house, and she doesn't usually go out. She must have heard the knock on the door."

Come back another day?Who knows if you will fall in love with the house introduced by other people in the future... Da Banya shook his neck and continued to knock on the door.

"This door is locked, people must have gone out."

Tie Dan said in a low voice next to Da Banya and Wang Xiang that they noticed a brass lock outside the door...

Dabanya was in such a hurry to close the deal that he didn't notice it, and said embarrassingly: "People seem to be going out, we..."

"Who are you?"

Before Dabanya finished speaking, a cold drink suddenly came from beside him.

When Wang Xiang heard the voice, he turned around and saw a bloated middle-aged man standing not far away, wearing thick clothes and a round hat on his head. He seemed to be afraid of the cold, and the brim of the hat kept pulling To cover the ears, it looks a bit weird.

The middle-aged man looked arrogantly at Wang Xiang and the three of them coldly.

"We're here to buy a house."

Hearing Da Banya's words, the middle-aged man said impatiently: "Who said this house is for sale? Go, this house is not for sale!"

Middle-aged people seem to be from rich and noble families, but with Wang Xiang at his side to support Da Banya, naturally he will not be afraid of him, and asked instead: "Who are you, what business do we have to buy this house for you?"

The middle-aged man looked fierce and said, "This house belongs to me, so I won't sell it!"

Seeing Wang Xiang looking at him with a puzzled face, he quickly explained: "This house really belongs to an old woman. She asked me to help her sell the house a few months ago. I don't know when the house changed hands."

The middle-aged man walked up to the door with a big belly, pushed open the big die, took out a copper key to unlock the door, let out a cold snort of disdain, opened the door, and then closed the door with a "bang".

Seeing that the middle-aged man had a key to open the door and go in, he was stunned.

Wang Xiang shook his head dejectedly: "Forget it, since the house has changed and they don't plan to sell it, let's go and look at other houses."

Although he was quite satisfied with the house, but judging by the appearance of the middle-aged man, it was obvious that he would not sell the house, so he could only find a new house with a golden house to hide his beauty.

Da Banya nodded with a mournful face, the house that met Wang Xiang's requirements was the largest, and he wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that the house suddenly changed its owner, and the deal fell through.

"That old woman is really true. She agreed to let me sell the house for her, but she secretly sold it herself. I don't know how to sell the house..."

Hearing Da Banya's muttering in a low voice, Wang Xiang also had doubts in his heart.
