Chapter 105
Li Li Xueyan reacted instantly.
She had been in the Great Qin for a while, so she naturally knew what Qin Mu's greatest advantage was.
That was books!
In the Great Tang's Chang'an City, any book could be sold for a sky-high price!
And in the Great Qin, the price of a book was just the cost of a bowl of rice for an ordinary family!
The price difference between the two was so vast, naturally because of the movable type printing technology in Qin Mu's hands! Books in the Great Tang were copied by hand, while books in the Great Qin could be mass-produced. The efficiency was worlds apart.
"Not bad, exactly books!"
"When the Great Tang mission came last time, you saw it too; whether it was Fang Fang Xuanling or that old Li, they were all drooling over our Great Qin's books."
"Even when they went back, they didn't take anything else, just three full boxes of books."
"Think about it, if Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji sees these books that are dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than iron ore, what will he do?"
Qin Mu smiled, stood up, and opened the window in the hall.
A gentle breeze blew in.
Comfortable!
"He will definitely try every possible way to take all those books for himself!"
Li Li Xueyan, Wu Li Ke a student, wanted to answer Qin Mu's question as quickly as possible so she could appear smarter and leave a good impression in his heart.
"Well said, we will use books to exchange for his iron ore!"
Qin Mu nodded and said.
"Husband, using books to exchange for iron ore, we are definitely not losing out. After all, our Great Qin lacks everything, but we don't lack books."
"It's just that it's too cheap for that old fox!"
"If Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji gets those books, he can turn around and sell them for a higher price in Chang'an City. Perhaps the profit will be even higher than that from the iron ore!" Li Li Xueyan said angrily.
Letting that old fox make a fortune, just thinking about it makes one angry!
"Hehe! He still wants to make money? Dream on!"
"No matter how many books he has, I will make sure he can't sell even one! I want to turn all the books in his hands into waste paper!"
"Doesn't he Wu Li Ke to gamble? Then for this trade, let him lose everything!"
Qin Mu smiled coldly, a hint of chill flashing in his eyes.
A good show is about to begin!
Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, this time, I will make you completely disgraced!
The wealth your Empress Zhangsun family has accumulated for hundreds of years, this time I will take it all!
Sigh!
What a pity!
I really want to see your frustrated look at that time!

Actually made him the Crown Prince! (Please subscribe!)
Great Tang, Chang'an City.
Zhao Duke Prefecture.
"Father, the Crown Prince is here."
Empress Zhangsun Chong brought Li Li Chengqian into the main hall.
Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was sitting there drinking tea.
"Your Highness, how have you been lately?"
Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji lifted his eyelids and looked at Li Li Chengqian, who had dull eyes.
"Good... good..."
Li Li Chengqian didn't seem to have his mind on this, just responding reflexively.
"Slap!"
Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was suddenly displeased and slammed the table, startling Li Li Chengqian and finally bringing him back to his senses.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Li Li Chengqian looked timidly at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, whose face was livid.
"What am I doing?"
"Look at what you've become! Just because a musician died, you don't even want the position of Crown Prince anymore?"
"Look at yourself now! You're neither human nor ghost, and the officials in the court already have complaints about you. Don't you have any awareness of this yourself?"
"If this continues, the Emperor's favor for you will only diminish day by day. When the time comes and your position as Crown Prince is abolished, what will you use to compete with Empress Empress Zhangsun's own sons, Li Tai and Li Zhi?"
Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji pointed at Li Li Chengqian's nose and scolded him thoroughly.
Ever since Chengxin died, Li Li Chengqian had been depressed in the Eastern Palace all day long.
Li Er had visited a few times, but seeing Li Li Chengqian's dead-Wu Li Ke state, he didn't even want to talk much, turning around and leaving without looking back.
Every time he came with high expectations, he left disappointed!
Over time.
Li Er didn't want to go to the Eastern Palace anymore.
Not just him.
Even in the court, there began to be voices calling for the abolition of the Crown Prince and the appointment of a new heir.
This was not a good sign for Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji!
Ever since he learned the secret of Li Li Chengqian's birth, he had bet everything he had on him!
The two had long been bound by honor and disgrace!
Now that Li Li Chengqian was depressed and degenerate, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was naturally extremely anxious.
If he couldn't become the Emperor, wouldn't all the glory of the Empress Zhangsun family be lost?
Of course!
Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had also thought about cultivating a new Imperial Prince.
At least to give himself a way out.
But where in the world is there such a perfect thing?
Whether it was Li Tai or Li Ke, they already had their own forces by their sides.
Their forces were all gearing up, waiting to help the prince they supported seize the throne.
At this point.
If Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji were to go and try to curry favor, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?
Even if princes Wu Li Ke Li Tai and Li Ke gladly accepted Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's surrender, would the forces around them be willing to let Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji come and get a share of the pie?
Clearly impossible!
As things stand.
The only way is to ensure that Li Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince cannot be affected in any way!
Otherwise.
The hope of the Empress Zhangsun family would be completely gone!
"Uncle is right, I will never dare to do this again!"
Li Li Chengqian was sweating all over, nodding continuously.
His life and all his leverage were held in Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's hands.
No choice!
No matter how harsh Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's scolding was, he had to listen!
"There is an opportunity right now that can allow you to regain the Emperor's favor. Is the Crown Prince willing?"
After scolding him, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had vented his anger and began to get to the point.
"I will listen to everything Uncle arranges!"
Li Li Chengqian nodded blankly.
What other choice did he have?
