Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 216 Li Er is Very Angry

"How big is the newspaper and what is the price?" Li Chengqian asked.

Wang Pingan thought for a while, and drew the size of the newspaper with his fingers, and said, "The newspaper is only this big. As for the minimum price, you can buy it for five cents."

Li Chengqian stood up abruptly, and shouted at Wang Pingan: "Wang Pingan, have I ever done anything wrong to you? Why do you want to trick me like this?"

Even Li Ke and Li Tai looked at Wang Pingan with questioning eyes, trying to see from his eyes whether they really wanted to cheat Li Chengqian.

Wang Pingan stood up with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Eldest Young Master, why did you react so strongly, and why did you make such a statement, and believe that Ping'an is in His Highness Keng?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help being amused: "You said you didn't cheat me, you sold a newspaper for five cents, do you know how much a piece of paper of this size costs?"

Wang Pingan scratched his head, then looked at Li Ke and Li Tai, and asked, "How much?"

Li Tai said: "One hundred sheets of this size are at least five pennies, and there is still a price but no market."

Wang Pingan did some calculations in his mind. Always equals [-] Wen, and [-] Guan equals [-] Wen. That piece of paper can only be bought for [-] Wen. If you sell it for [-] Wen, isn’t that a scam? If he knew this situation by himself, he would definitely kill the other party.

Wang Pingan didn't expect that paper would be so expensive, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "I never expected to start a newspaper. I couldn't help but invent movable type printing in advance, and I had to invent paper. Really, can I come here alone? In a few months Once we attack the Turks, I’m afraid we won’t have time.”

I can't say what is on my mind, and sighed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there is a formula here in Ping An. The paper and pens produced are even better now, and the cost is low. If they are recycled, they can be remade. As long as there is this kind of paper, newspapers can be used. picked up."

"If there is such a formula, you won't fool me, will you?" Li Chengqian asked with a puzzled expression.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "That's true, but this papermaking workshop can't cooperate with the young master, it can only cooperate with the wife. Ping An saw that the lady didn't have decent jewelry and beautiful clothes, which means that the lady is usually too thrifty, so I plan to give it to you. Ma'am earn some pocket money."

"That's true. Mother usually saves too much, so she should give her some personal money." Li Chengqian said, and the three Li Ke beside him also admitted.

Wang Pingan continued: "Master, I will tell you all the things to be prepared now, and I can prepare after I go back."

"it is good."

Wang Pingan began to explain the things that need to be prepared for the opening of the newspaper. What he said did not avoid Li Ke and Li Tai, and he also told Li Chengqian that Li Er must know about this matter, because if this matter is successful, it means that the court holds Stop the right to speak.

All three of them heard it very clearly, but Wang Ping'an said it very generally. He said that he was cooperating with Li Chengqian, and he didn't indicate how many people participated in the shares.If Li Ke and Li Tai want more pocket money, they can go to Li Chengqian.

"Master, apart from movable type printing and paper, you don't need to worry about the restaurant, and you can handle the rest by yourself. I only need [-]% of the newspaper." Wang Ping'an intends to use movable type printing to add a new course of business to the academy, so there is no Going to give it to the newspaper.

The time passed while Li Er was chatting with the people, and the eldest grandson, Zhang Tianshi, and Wang Pingan were asked by Li Ke and Li Tai to make a profitable living for themselves.

Although they chatted very happily, Wang Pingan stipulated that the lunch time for everyone was only one hour, including meals and lunch breaks.

"Tink, tink, tink..."

The bell rang for the end of the meal, and all the prisoners and women stood up and bid farewell to Li Er. They already knew that the person they were chatting with was a high-ranking official, even older than their young master official, so some of them The person who was wronged and framed complained to Li Erda.

From the cheerful chat at the beginning, Li Er also slowly scolded some corrupt officials, and what's more, he also called Li Er a fatuous emperor who didn't know how to see the details, and wasting money by raising those censors.

This made Li Er very embarrassing. He was scolding one or two at first, but later when more people scolded him, Li Er was forced to scold himself a few words. After learning the reason why the other party scolded him, he ruthlessly scolded himself.

The eldest grandson's face was also not good. After learning about Zhang Tian's experience, a murderous intent appeared on his face. He did not expect such a cancer to exist in Datang.

As for Wang Ping'an, he still said the same thing, whenever the land is not sealed, he will give them a very profitable livelihood.

After hearing the bell, everyone gathered again. Wang Ping'an, Li Chengqian and others noticed that Li Er and his eldest grandson looked extremely ugly.

"Go back to the palace."

Leaving a cold sentence behind, Li Er walked towards the carriage, the eldest grandson also followed with a cold face, and finally Li Chengqian, Wang Pingan and others.

There was nothing to say all the way, Wang Pingan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he shut his mouth obediently.

After returning to the palace, Li Er asked Wang Ping'an to come to Xingqing Palace with him, and the eldest grandson followed him, driving the prince and others out of the palace.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Are there any students?" Wang Pingan said with his head down.

"No? Don't you tell me that among those prisoners who were not wronged, they deserved what they did?" Li Er asked calmly.

"Don't you and your empress already know?" Wang Ping'an said weakly.

"What? What does Guanyin maidservant know?" Li Er looked at his eldest grandson suspiciously.

The eldest grandson was quite annoyed when he heard about Zhang Tian's affairs. After Li Er heard this, his face became even more gloomy.

"Bang~"

Li Er slammed down the table with his palm, gasping for breath, and the maids and eunuchs who were waiting on him hurried back to the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of the dragon's body."

Seeing this, the eldest grandson said, "Let's all go down!" He comforted Li Er's chest a few times and said, "Your Majesty, calm down first."

He took a deep breath and said coldly: "I never thought that such a thing would happen at the feet of the dignified emperor. Where are my censors? What about my Chang'an county magistrate? What do they eat?"

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements among the people, but there is nothing I can do about government matters."

"You didn't, I did. Tell me about your arrangements among the people." Li Er's expression brightened when he heard that Wang Ping'an had made arrangements.

Wang Pingan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, those who cause chaos among the people are those hooligans. If it is an individual's behavior, it is just a small trouble, but I am afraid that organized and disciplined hooligans, humble ministers, call them "Tongkou". "
