My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 426 Poems
why?Since the promotion of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination has become one of the few paths for ordinary people to get rid of the existing class.

But what is needed for this road, books, only scholars can take the imperial examination, but reading is not something that ordinary people can afford at this time. The price and quantity of books have always been the most important constraint that restricts ordinary people from reading.

Being able to print books at this time, at least in terms of the number of books, can meet the needs of a small range of scholars. In this way, as long as the books printed by the Zheng family's fourth room are put into the market, there is no way to rush for them.Even if the price of the books copied by the original scribes is still maintained, there will be no worries about sales.

However, based on Li Zhi's understanding of Zheng's fourth house and Mrs. Zheng, Li Zhijue's Zheng's fourth house sells books at a cheaper price than the books copied by scribes.

The advantage of this is that there is no need to worry about sales, and the disadvantage is that the profession of copywriter will be squeezed to death in a small area.

This is a bit similar to the extrusion of traditional craftsmen by large industries in later generations.

In addition, the fourth room of the Zheng family must be printing the most popular type of books on the market at this time, such as the Book of Songs, so naturally they will not worry about selling them.Therefore, sales are not a problem at all, and even some wealthy families will come to Zheng's fourth bedroom to ask for books.why?At this time, even those wealthy families are short of books!

No way, in the early Tang Dynasty, books were lacking to such an extent.

"Sister Cui Yan."

"When His Highness called me like that, I felt that His Highness must have good things to say next."

"My sister understands me best!"

After a while, the King of Jin was lying on Cui Yan's bed, and Cui Yan was embracing the King of Jin with a soft arm, and his jade hands were stroking Li Zhi's chest, deliberately fiddled with Li Zhi's favorite position on his daughter's body.

"Your Highness, what are you doing when you go out recently? I asked Chuntao, and she said that Your Highness was seduced by a female fairy."

"What female goblin, she is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Zheng's family."

"Oh, where does Your Highness want to check the accounts of the chief house?"

"Sister Cui Yan guessed it all at once. My sister is really smart and understands my younger brother too well."

"Then His Royal Highness may be disappointed, and the Miss Zheng's family must not be able to touch that kind of account."

"Ah, the king has been busy lately."

"No, this kind of bad debt is usually out of reach of others except the chief housekeeper, his wife, and a confidant accountant."

"Then according to what my sister said, the king is not busy in vain."

"That depends on what His Highness thinks."

"Sister, teach me!"

"Your Highness wants to find out from Miss Zheng's family, but you can't find it unless you steal it. Maybe, Miss Zheng's family can take His Highness to some places that are not easy for others to go to."

Li Zhi looked at Cui Yan and nodded. He agreed with Cui Yan's sister's statement, but Zheng's family's house is so big, if he really wants to steal it, where should he start?

"Sister Cui Yan, where do you think such wealthy families usually hide their account books?"

"You have asked my sister, the most important account book I used to hide was hidden in a vase in the living room, and it was placed there. No matter who enters the living room, the one that can be seen at first sight vase."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"But if others hide it, they don't know where it is hidden. My sister has seen the deepest hidden one. She has no account books at all and hides it in her heart."

Li Zhi patted his forehead, what he was most afraid of was this, bad debts were hidden in his heart, there was nowhere to find them.

"Of course, there are not many people with this kind of memory ability, so most of the wealthy families will have some ledgers, but to find them, it is up to His Highness, maybe it is the secret room, maybe it is the place where His Highness is most likely to see, maybe, it is A place that His Highness could never have imagined."

"Sister Cui Yan, I am asking my sister a question. Someone from the Zheng family has seen me. How can I sneak into the Zheng family?"

"Your Highness said that His Highness just came to Xingyang, the person from the Zheng residence."

When Li Zhi came to Xingyang, he only had contact with local officials and the fourth house of the Zheng family, and had no contact with others at all. The only time he showed his face in front of the elders was when he first came to Xingyang.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about that person, Your Highness, it is impossible for him to speak."

Hearing Cui Yan's words, Li Zhi's hand that was caressing Cui Yan's jade leg stopped for a moment, and then, Li Zhi's palm left the jade leg, and just touched the buttocks.

This sister of mine is much more decisive and ruthless than herself in dealing with some things!

What I didn't expect, it turned out that this sister had already thought of it.

She really deserves to be in Chang'an, a character who can go from a down-and-out rich lady to a wealthy woman.

The hardships and hardships of these years have made this Miss Cui's maturity a bit frightening.

Li Zhi doesn't feel much when he is with this sister on weekdays. He often encounters some details. Li Zhi thinks about it later, but finds that this sister has done it beforehand.

"Sister is a good idea, then the king is now going to Zheng's parents' room. It should not be easily recognized by others."

"Those who have met His Highness and know His Highness's identity, except for the two most important officials here in Xingyang, are Zheng's fourth wife and his wife. I don't think any of these people dare to expose His Highness's identity."

"Then, the king will go to Zheng's parents' room tomorrow. It just so happens that Miss Zheng Shuang wants to show this king to her mother!"

"By the way, Your Highness, there is one thing I would like to ask His Highness for, that is, when printing books, the fourth room of Zheng's family came up with a collection of poems, with the poems of Sui and Tang poets as the main collection objects. He asked Yinger to bring a message, asking Ask Your Highness what you mean."

"This is a good thing. It is a good idea to collect famous poems written by poets of the previous dynasty and poets of the current dynasty and print them into a collection of poems!"

"Then His Royal Highness agreed. The fourth room of the Zheng family roughly selected a few poems. The first poem in this anthology is written by His Royal Highness for the Empress during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The second poem is written by His Highness for Princess Jin. The third poem, It seems to be the "Poem of Peach Blossom Temple" written by Mr. Li Bai at the Lingering Garden Poetry Club, which is now well-known in Luoyang and passed down to Chang'an."

"This Zheng family's fourth bedroom really knows how to choose!"

"I also think these three are the best, and each of them is suitable for the first place. Among them, the fourth house of Zheng's family is for His Royal Highness. In fact, I prefer the poem "Peach Blossom Temple"."

Li Zhi patted his buttocks heavily, looking at his sister.

"Sister Cui Yan doesn't know who Li Bai is, she's making fun of me."

"Your Highness has written poems for others, and my sister wants them too."

"Poetry can't describe my sister, my sister is only here with me!"

Cui Yan's jade hands lightly pinched Li Zhi's chest.

"Your Highness will make me happy, but Your Highness, you really need to be careful when you go to Zheng's family's house. Your Highness is extremely honorable, so there is no need to put yourself in danger."
