Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 183 Imagination, removing the firewood from the bottom of the pot
Early the next morning.

News about the medical school's free medical consultation appeared in two newspapers.

Of course, unlike the praise from Tianxia Newspaper, the content in Mingyan Newspaper was somewhat disdainful.

There is a suspicion of showmanship.

Among them, the arrangements for the people to attend the free medical consultation were particularly highlighted.

In the view of Mingyan Newspaper, since it is a free clinic, why not diagnose all the patients that day?

Do I have to get a card and wait until the next day to continue the consultation?
When Su Chen saw the famous quote newspaper, he just smiled contemptuously.

This kind of writing is really too weak.

Moreover, from their writing style, it is not difficult to see that they deliberately wanted to imitate the Spring and Autumn style of Tianxia Newspaper.

But it was obvious that his level was too low to arouse any interest at all.

"Aqiang."

Su Chen put down the newspaper and asked casually, "Is there any news worth paying attention to now?"

"Sir, is there any need to say this?"

Sun Qiang grinned, "Of course it's about the King of Wei being demoted to a prince!"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

Also.

This is a secret of the royal family and also a topic of conversation for countless people after dinner.

Who wouldn't want to hear how His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the one most beloved by the current emperor, was demoted to a prince out of the blue?

Su Chen tapped his folding fan and said with a smile: "In this case, we can ask Xu Qizhuang to write about this matter."

Sun Qiang was shocked and said, "Sir, didn't you say before that this matter cannot be published?"

Su Chen shook the folding fan in his hand, "This is a different time, that is a different time, understand?"

"Besides, I didn't say that the details of the incident should be published in the newspaper."

"You have to believe in one thing."

Sun Qiang: "What's the matter?"

Su Chen tapped his head with the folding fan in his hand, "Human imagination!"

"Imagination?"

Sun Qiang looked confused.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Come on, follow me to the newspaper office."

Sun Qiang nodded and followed Su Chen to the newspaper office.

Newspaper.

Zhou Tao invited Su Chen into the private room with a smile.

"Where's Xu Qizhuang?"

"My Lord, the editor-in-chief and Jiang Yang are out."

"Oh?"

Su Chen tapped his folding fan with a smile, "This is unfortunate, what did he do?"

Zhou Tao: "I heard that the editor-in-chief's family received a letter saying that his elder brother would arrive in Chang'an City today, so he went out."

Xu Qizhuang’s elder brother has come to Chang’an City?
Su Chen tapped the folding fan in his hand and a slight smile appeared on his face. It was interesting.

"Then I'll wait here."

Su Chen said casually: "I heard about the recent rumors about the King of Wei being demoted. Are you particularly concerned about it?"

Zhou Tao nodded, "Indeed, if we can get first-hand information, it will definitely double the influence of our newspaper."

Su Chen raised his lips slightly: "Then let's publish this matter."

"what?"

Zhou Tao was stunned, then shook his head repeatedly, "Sir, this is a secret of the royal family. If we do this..."

"Calm down, it's okay."

Su Chen smiled and waved the folding fan in his hand, "Let me tell you a few things, please write them down."

"Yes."

Zhoutao quickly picked up the small notebook.

"Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu are both proficient in the art of dream souls."

He wrote it down carefully and quickly, but looked up at Su Chen in confusion.

"Taichang Temple Shen Qiao has a very good relationship with the King of Wei, so he gave the Taichang Temple's Le Tong Chengxin to the King of Wei."

"Chengxin was given to the crown prince by the King of Wei."

Zhou Tao frowned and wrote down all three things, but he was full of doubts.

These three things have no connection except that Chengxin was transferred to the prince through the hands of King Wei.

and many more!

Zhou Tao's eyes suddenly lit up. There was a connection, a very strong connection!
Rumor has it that the King of Wei was demoted to a Prince of a County because he mistakenly trusted a treacherous person and alienated the brotherhood!

However, Qin Ying from Xihua Temple and Wei Lingfu from Huisheng Temple have disappeared for several days and have not been seen since!

So, these three things are connected...

hiss!
Zhou Tao seemed to have seen the truth behind the King of Wei’s demotion!
"Sir, this..."

"It's up to you how to write it."

Su Chen smiled, and Zhou Tao immediately understood that this was true!

Zhou Tao nodded heavily, "I understand."

At this time.

Xu Qizhuang's voice came from outside.

"Good boy, I really didn't expect that you secretly ran away from home and actually did such a thing in Chang'an City."

"Hehehe, it's nothing, nothing."

Xu Qizhuang's voice was heard, and one could vaguely hear a hint of pride in his voice.

"I am now the editor-in-chief of Tianxia Newspaper. Do you know what that means? It means I am above the shopkeeper!"

"Not bad……"

Xu Qiying patted Xu Qizhuang's shoulder and said to the woman beside him, "Sister, look how proud he is."

Xu Hui covered her mouth and chuckled, "Knowing that he has made a name for himself in Chang'an City, my father won't be so worried."

Xu Qizhuang stood straight, "By the way, sister, don't you want to meet Brother Su? I can send someone to invite Brother Su over."

Snapped.

Xu Qiying shook his head. "Don't make a fuss. I heard that Master Su is a guest of honor of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and you are working in his newspaper now, so you should be careful with your words and actions." "No..."

Just as Xu Qizhuang was about to retort, he saw Su Chen walking down from the second floor, waving a folding fan.

"Brother Su!"

Xu Qiying and the other man looked up.

Su Chen smiled and greeted, "I just came to see you, Zhou Tao said your family is here."

Xu Qizhuang hurriedly introduced them: "This is my brother Xu Qiying, and this is my elder sister Xu Hui."

Su Chen smiled and nodded to greet them: "My name is Su Chen, nice to meet you two."

"I've met Mr. Su."

Xu Qiying returned the greeting with a smile.

Xu Hui looked at Su Chen curiously, bowed and said, "It is said that Master Su is a madman and a poisonous man. Now it seems that Master Su is not as ferocious and evil as the rumors say."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "I guess they are jealous of my beauty and intelligence, so they say bad things about my appearance."

Xu Qizhuang: “……?”

Brother Su, what are you talking about?
Xu Hui smiled shyly: "Maybe."

Su Chen put away his folding fan and said, "I'll give you a day off today to spend time with your family. Leave the newspaper affairs to Jiang Yang and Zhou Tao."

"Jiang Yang, is everything okay?"

Jiang Yang said sternly: "Don't worry, Brother Su, there will be absolutely no problem!"

Su Chen nodded, said hello to Xu Qiying and the others, and then left with Sun Qiang.

Xu Qiying said softly, "He is approachable, and indeed different from the rumors."

At least.

According to the rumors they had heard, Su Chen was a wicked man with a green face and fangs, who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Now it seems that my father's worries were a bit unnecessary.

Xu Qizhuang: “…”

Rumor?

Only then will you know how good Brother Su is?
Xu Qizhuang smiled and said, "Come on, brother, sister, I'll show you around and take a look at my editor-in-chief's private room. Then I'll take you to eat something delicious to welcome you."

"it is good!"

……

Su Chen knocked his head. He clearly remembered that Xu Hui had entered the palace and was granted the title of concubine by Li Shimin.

But looking at Xu Hui's appearance just now, it was obvious that she had not yet married.

Is it possible that there is something wrong with my memory?
Su Chen shook his head. Who cares? Whether Xu Hui entered the palace or not had little to do with them.

at most……

Can Xu Hui be considered a helper after entering the palace?
"Master Su."

"A Luo Han?"

Su Chen looked carefully and recognized the other person.

A Luohan said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I was just looking for Master Su!"

"Is something wrong?"

"Something big is happening!"

A Luohan's expression became a little more serious.

Su Chen nodded, "Let's talk somewhere else."

"Please follow me, Mr. Su."

A Luohan led the way and brought Su Chen to a restaurant in the West City.

After sitting down in the private room, A Luohan couldn't wait to tell Su Chen the news he had received.

"Liu Tao from Mingyan Newspaper is already making soap!"

"Oh?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, "Where did you get the news?"

A Luohan said softly, "It was my uncle's people at Randy's place who sent back the news."

"Randy smelled the items he bought in large quantities every day and worked out the ingredients he needed to make the perfume."

"But for some reason, he gave it to Liu Tao. Last night, Liu Tao sent someone to inform Randy that he had prepared the formula for the soap."

Something!

Su Chen tapped the folding fan in his hand, with a playful look on his face, "Where's your uncle?"

A Luohan said: "My uncle left for something and is not in Chang'an City."

Su Chen pondered, and suddenly looked up at A Luohan, "If it were you, what would you do?"

A Luohan pondered and said, "I have thought about this before. If it were me, I would use the power of the crown prince to stop this matter."

"But after careful consideration, I realized that if this were the case, it would be bad for the prince's reputation and would also have a certain impact on other businessmen."

Su Chen nodded and gave A Luohan an encouraging look, signaling him to continue.

A Luohan said again: "Although Liu Tao and his men have mastered the method of making soap, the people in the Tang Dynasty now all prefer soaps that smell good. If they want to compete with Master Su, I'm afraid it will be difficult to expand the market."

"So I think they will drastically reduce the price, and at the same time find a way to ship these soaps back to the Arab Empire."

Su Chen smiled and said, "It is possible to compete for the market by selling at a lower price. But if we ship it back to the Kingdom of Daqin, I am afraid it will take some time for the market to verify it."

Only those who have used something can say whether it is good or not.

Even if Liu Tao and his team work backwards and figure out a method for making soap, are their soaps as good as those made by smelling them?
Moreover, the journey back to the Arab Empire is too long, so it is still unclear whether they can make any profit from the soap.

No matter how wealthy Liu Tao's family was, he couldn't withstand such a ordeal.

"What is Mr. Su going to do?"

“Lower the price.”

Su Chen smiled slightly.

The weather is hot, so any wealthy family will wash their house at least once a day.

The demand for soap is naturally very high, and if they take the initiative to lower the price, they will be able to firmly control the market.

By then, even if Liu Tao's soap was sold at a low price, it would probably be outsold by the soap that came with a good smell. No matter how many goods there were, they would have to be stored in the warehouse.

"Thank you for this reminder."

"Mr. Su, you are too polite. If you can use A Luohan, just send a message."

"it is good."
