Chapter 245

You, magnanimous?

Why don't you look at how you've forced the Great Tang into such a state?

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

The Emperor is almost being driven mad by you!

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

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

"Alright, let's not mention these trivial matters anymore."

"Let's talk about business!"

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

Qin Mu feigned a mysterious and unfathomable air.

Asking what he already knew!

If others didn't understand the Great Tang, how could Qin Mu not?

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

Whether it was Great Qin or the surrounding Western Regions, there was no advantage to be had in trading with the Great Tang.

The only thing Great Qin possessed with an absolute advantage was books!

Great Tang Prime Minister Fang Fang Xuanling had come in person!

What for? Wasn't it obvious?

"Your Majesty is brilliant; 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 play coy at all and stated his true purpose directly.

He knew clearly in his heart.

When dealing with someone like Qin Mu, the smartest method was to speak the truth!

"Prime Minister Fang is quite frank; you don't seem like a merchant."

Qin Mu smiled playfully, picked up his teacup, and savored the tea carefully.

"Hehehe!"

"That is only natural! When trading with ordinary people, one must naturally use ordinary means. But when trading with a talent as brilliant as Your Majesty, any small tricks are futile; it is better to trade sincerity for sincerity."

Fang Fang Xuanling's words were beautifully spoken.

Not only did he express his sincere attitude, but he also casually paid Qin Mu a resounding compliment!

Like a gentle rain moistening things silently!

"Hahaha, a smart man!"

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

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

"Oh?"

"That's wonderful! Your Majesty, how many books have you brought? We in the Great Tang will take as many as you have!"

Fang Fang Xuanling was quite excited, his eyes shining with spirit.

He truly hadn't expected 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 capital, the average price of the books I purchased was about ten wen. Calculating at that price, I naturally have the strength to purchase many."

"Prime Minister Fang, times have changed; paper is now expensive in Great Qin, and the quantity 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 spat blood on the spot.

... Seeking flowers... 0

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

Profiteer!

You kid are a total profiteer!

Raising the price on the spot!

Books that were originally worth only ten wen were now over 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 in a soft, gentle tone.

"One tael of silver per book is considered expensive? Prime Minister Fang, compared to those books on the market in your Great Tang, it is quite a bit cheaper." Qin Mu said with disdain.

Fang Fang Xuanling nodded.

That was indeed the truth!

In the Great Tang.

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

The price Qin Mu offered was indeed a bargain 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 was to solve the urgent need.

If 100,000 books were to circulate among the people, it would be a very good result.

"Straightforward!"

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

Qin Mu patted the table.

The deal was struck!

"That's wonderful, Your Majesty!"

"The deal is done, and I have fulfilled one of my wishes."

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

These 100,000 books were Li Er's lifeline!

There could absolutely be no mistakes.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Mu, Fang Fang Xuanling took his leave very tactfully.

At the same time.

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

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

Li Li Xueyan said indignantly.

As Qin Mu's Princess, she naturally had to be frugal and manage 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 lose his entire fortune, 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, truly unable to understand what Qin Mu was up to.

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