Chapter 171 People from the capital have no purpose

"Even if it's a cost of 25 cents, how can those stores sell it so expensive?"

"Lu Cheng said that it was not under his jurisdiction." Lord Si was disgusted when he thought of Lu Cheng's face! But when he thought of what the other party said, his whole body was filled with powerlessness.

I originally thought that if you come to such a small place, you can achieve results. Without the right to fight or intrigue, you can steadily seek benefits for the people.

But……

Why are the small Xinhe Town deeply influenced by power struggle?

Chu Yingying: "What if the lord directly ordered that several bookstores be closed?"

Such a high price goes against the original intention of the court, so the government should have the right to directly close them, right?

After all, the ancient governments had great power.

Who knew that Lord Si shook his head with a embarrassed look: "Yingying, things are not that simple. Even if I forcefully asked those bookstores to close, what if the printing factory does not publish all bookstores in Xinhe Town? At that time, students and businessmen will have to complain without others."

Sometimes, it’s not as simple as just moving.

Chu Yingying bites her lip.

Wouldn't it be that way? She gave up the movable type printing technique, not to let those merchants make money! Not to let it become a tool in the hands of others!

"Oh, I'll think of a solution. Don't be anxious first, don't be impulsive!" Lord Si repeatedly reminded.

He still knows Chu Yingying quite well. This child is stubborn. Lord Si is worried that Chu Yingying will fight against Lu Cheng in order to make this sigh!

Then things will be in trouble.

Chu Yingying nodded: "I know."

After that, there was a silent supper.

Chu Yingying originally thought that the matter would take a while to solve it, but who knew it would be solved the next day!

Chu Yingying was shocked, stood up and asked, "Xiaotian, say it again."

She was watching travel notes at home, but who knew that her younger brother Xiaotian suddenly pulled one of her friends and ran in panting.

Tell her: "Second sister! The books in the bookstore have been reduced in price! Other bookstores can also publish travel notes!"

But how is this possible?

Even if Lord Si thinks of a solution, will Lu Cheng compromise so easily?

Chu Xiaotian took a while, picked up the milk tea from the small table and drank it all, and some of it flowed out to the collar.

"Here, wipe it quickly."

Chu Yingying handed him a handkerchief.

"oh."

Chu Xiaotian said while wiping: "Today we want to go to the bookstore to buy a travel notes that Master said to go and check it out. Who knows that the bookstore opened by Boss Lu has started to make a fuss..."

It turned out that another student was causing trouble in the bookstore run by Boss Lu today. He thought the price was too high, so he was talking about Wei Boti's remarks yesterday.

Boss Lu had the same attitude. Who knew that a person suddenly appeared, claiming to be an official in the capital. He passed by here and immediately came out to stop the matter and then thoroughly investigated the printing factory!

The final result was that Lu Cheng was detained and would be sent to the capital for investigation soon. Then the printing factory opened printing to all bookstores, and travel notes and other works would be printed, and the prices were lowered!

"...The Four Books and Five Classics cannot exceed forty texts! Other categories of books have lowered prices according to certain rules."

Some things like books are of no value, but some are priceless, so they cannot be generalized.

Chu Xiaotian happily took out a travel note, "Second sister, look, the travel note I want to buy. The Master spent 70 cents a few days ago, but I only spent 40 cents today!"

Maybe it was because he lived a hard life when he was a child, so even if his family is rich now, Chu Xiaotian would not waste it, but instead would be frugal.

Usually, Fang's Chu Fenfen and Chu Yingying would occasionally give Xiaotian some pocket money, asking him to buy some snacks or buy some things he wanted.

Chu Xiaotian saved up everything in every article. A few days ago, when Chu Fenfen celebrated his sixteenth birthday, he bought Chu Fenfen a hairpin.

Although it is the most ordinary silver hairpin, it has spent all Xiaotian’s savings.

I still remember Xiaotian holding a hairpin and saying to Chu Fenfen: "Sister, I don't have money now, so I can't buy a good one for you. I will study hard, practice martial arts well, and earn money in the future to buy the best for you!"

At that time, Chu Fenfen hugged Chu Xiaotian and cried loudly, and Fang was also moved.

Even Chu Yingying's eyes were red.

The topic is off the table. Let’s talk about it again. With so much money left, Chu Xiaotian is particularly beautiful: “That second prince is really a good person, a great person!”

"Second Prince?"

"Yes, everyone said that the high-ranking official from the capital today is a relative of the second prince. After listening to the second prince's order, he checked everywhere whether the bookstore had raised the price to sell books."

Chu Yingying frowned.

Why did things happen like this?

And whenever there was something prince involved, Chu Yingying inexplicably felt that things were not that simple.

But it all involved the prince, so Chu Yingying didn't dare to continue asking, for fear of causing trouble.

"Second sister, the price of books has been reduced. Are you unhappy?"

"I'm happy, go and have fun."

"All right."

After Chu Xiaotian left, Chu Yingying held her chin and pondered, always feeling something was wrong.

I couldn't figure it out, so Chu Yingying simply stopped thinking about it. She felt so frustrated that she couldn't read the book anymore. She took her shoes and led her little donkey back to the village to take a walk and check the situation.

Although it is very pleasant to be a hand-off manager, I still have to go to inspect occasionally to see if there are any problems.

If you don't go to see it, you won't find any problems and will end sooner or later.

Who knew that when I came out, I happened to meet the scholar from the Bookstore that day.

The scholar also saw him and came forward with a smile to greet the person: "Hello Miss Chu Er, my name is Wei Boti, and I live nearby, but this is the first time we have seen him."

Chu Yingying nodded, and looked surprised: "It's indeed a coincidence."

Then I had nothing to say.

The little donkey didn't know if it wasn't full, so he kept rubbing against Chu Yingying's chest, which made Chu Yingying very embarrassed and could only let go of the donkey and hide farther away.

I really didn't see that this big gray is so colored!

Big gray is the name of this little donkey.

After Chu Yingying gave her beloved donkey this name, she was ridiculed by everyone for a long time.

Everyone thinks that since you have chosen a name, you can just give it a nice name, such as big gray, which is really... down-to-earth.

Chu Yingying felt that it was simple and clear, very distinctive, and insisted on it.

Wei Boti was also a little embarrassed and glanced at somewhere else.

He spoke again until Chu Yingying avoided the donkey.
