Chapter 114

You, magnanimous?

Why don't you look at how you’ve forced our Great Tang?

I was framed by you and had to carry a coffin to the palace!

The Emperor is almost driven mad by you!

If you were truly magnanimous and gave Great Tang a way out, and gave me a way out, I would truly thank your ancestors for eighteen generations!

Although Fang Fang Xuanling thought this, he still had to accompany him with a smile: "Of course, Your Majesty is magnanimous; how could you bicker with such a good-for-nothing?"

"Alright, let’s not mention these trivial matters."

"Let’s talk about business!"

"Prime Minister Fang, since the Great Tang imperial court sent you in person, I assume the goods you want to trade are not simple, right?"

Qin Mu pretended to be unfathomable.

Asking what he already knew!

Others might not understand Great Tang, but how could Qin Mu not?

The Central Plains region is rich in products and abundant in resources.

Whether it is Great Qin or the surrounding Western Regions, there is simply no advantage in trading with Great Tang.

The only thing Great Qin has an absolute advantage in is books!

Great Tang Prime Minister Fang Fang Xuanling came in person!

For what? Isn't it obvious?

"Your Majesty is extremely clever; isn't this asking what you already know?"

"The reason I came in person is naturally for your nation’s classics and histories."

Fang Fang Xuanling didn't beat around the bush at all and stated his true purpose directly.

He knew in his heart.

When dealing with someone Wu Li Ke Qin Mu, the smartest way is to tell the truth!

"Prime Minister Fang is quite frank; you don't look Wu Li Ke a merchant."

Qin Mu smiled playfully, picked up his teacup, and sipped it carefully.

"Hehehe!"

"That is natural! When doing business with ordinary people, one must use ordinary means. But when doing business with a talent Wu Li Ke Your Majesty, any little trick is futile; it is better to exchange sincerity for sincerity."

Fang Fang Xuanling’s words were beautifully put.

Not only did he show his sincere attitude, but he also lightly flattered Qin Mu!

Wu Li Ke spring rain moistening things silently!

"Hahaha, a smart man!"

"Prime Minister Fang, that is the reason I admire you!"

"To tell you the truth, the reason I came in person this time is to trade books with your Great Tang." Qin Mu laughed heartily.

"Oh?"

"That’s great! Your Majesty, how many books have you brought? Our Great Tang will take as many as you have!"

Fang Fang Xuanling was quite excited, his eyes shining.

He really didn't expect things to go so smoothly!

"Take as many as I have? Prime Minister Fang, shouldn't you ask about the price of the books?"

"Your Majesty is joking! Back in the Great Qin Royal City, the average price of the books I purchased was about ten wen. Calculating at that price, I naturally have the strength to buy many."

"Prime Minister Fang, times have changed; paper is now expensive in Great Qin, and the number of books produced has greatly decreased. Currently, the price of one book is one tael of silver."

Pfft!

Hearing this price, Fang Fang Xuanling almost vomited blood on the spot.

Looking at the smile on Qin Mu’s face, he understood everything in an instant.

Profiteer!

You brat are a complete profiteer!

Raising prices on the spot!

Books that were originally worth only ten wen are now more than a hundred times more expensive!

Truly a lion’s opening of the mouth!

"Your Majesty, can the price be negotiated?"

"One tael of silver per book is too expensive."

Fang Fang Xuanling wiped the sweat from his forehead and said softly.

"One tael of silver per book is considered expensive? Prime Minister Fang, compared to the books on the market in your Great Tang, it is quite cheap." Qin Mu said disdainfully.

Fang Fang Xuanling nodded.

That is indeed the logic!

In Great Tang.

Any book could sell for at least dozens of taels of silver!

The price Qin Mu gave was indeed a cabbage price.

"Alright! Since that is the case, I will purchase 100,000 books!"

Fang Fang Xuanling gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

The most important thing now is to solve the urgent need.

If 100,000 books circulate among the people, it can be considered a very good achievement.

"Straightforward!"

"By tomorrow, someone will come to handle the handover with you."

Qin Mu patted the table.

The deal was struck!

"That’s great, Your Majesty!"

"The deal is done, and I have fulfilled a wish."

Fang Fang Xuanling also breathed a sigh of relief, the stone in his heart finally landing.

These 100,000 books are Li Er’s lifeline!

There must not be the slightest mistake.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Mu, Fang Fang Xuanling very sensibly withdrew.

At the same time.

A beautiful figure slowly walked out from behind the screen in the room.

"Husband, one tael of silver per book is really too cheap for them!"

Li Li Xueyan said indignantly.

As Qin Mu’s Princess, she naturally had to be frugal in managing the household.

Li Li Xueyan had read many books since childhood and naturally understood the value of a book.

"One tael of silver per book is indeed very cheap."

"But if using one tael of silver could make Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji go bankrupt, wouldn't you say it would be worth it?"

Qin Mu said with a confident smile.

"Husband, what do you mean by that?"

Li Li Xueyan blinked, really unable to understand what medicine Qin Mu was selling in his gourd.

"Your Majesty, Great Tang Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian requests an audience!"

Wei Wei Zhongxian walked in from outside and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian of the Great Tang requests an audience!"

Wei Wei Zhongxian walked in from outside and said respectfully.

"Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian!?"

Li Li Xueyan showed a surprised expression.

Why did he come?

"What? You know him?"
