"but."

Cui Zhiti said: "I also have a condition."

"My husband, please tell me." The black shadow said respectfully.

Cui Zhiti said: "Since you can steal the trial-issue collection of auspicious poems, then the authentic collection of poems is no problem. I am not wrong, right?"

"This..." The black shadow looked embarrassed.

"It's so good for the husband to know that it's not easy to steal the original collection of poems."

"I only have a chance to get this trial poetry collection because of flaws.

"Fifty Knots!" Cui Zhiti stretched out his five fingers with his right hand and said, "I will give you a purchase price of fifty Knots per volume. I will buy as much as you can steal it."

"Fifty taels?"

The dark shadows are heartbroken.

Immediately gritted my teeth and said, "Finish!"

Cui Zhiti smiled and said, "Then let's just say that."

"Okay, I'm determined." The black shadow focused heavily and followed the slaves from his hometown to the Cui Mansion. However, before leaving, he turned around and glanced at the street, and saw a black shadow flashing and disappearing.

Sure enough, there was a guard who was monitoring it, but it was completely reasonable.

This is a thousand guan. I must be afraid that they will sneak away after taking the money.

I just wondered. How could this high-ranking official be so stupid that he spent a thousand chunks of money to buy such a flawless thread-bound book? I really don’t understand the happiness of rich people.

...

Shenxianju Courtyard No. 1, accounting room.

Yang Liu is reconciling accounts with Qingxuan.

Pei Shaoqing lyed comfortably on the rattan chair.

Xue Paner, a famous prostitute who was longed for by many young men and romantic scholars of aristocratic families, was now like a little maid, and he thoughtfully pinched Pei Shaoqing's legs.

"Oh, my legs."

"I've been exhausted these days."

"Peng'er, you have to squeeze it well."

Xue Paner said lightly well-behavedly, not at all the nobleness and arrogance that a famous prostitute should have.

Yang Liu next to him sighed softly, thinking that Pan'er, a pure girl, had plunged into it, but it was no wonder that Dalang's charm was really irresistible.

She would be moved if she was twenty years younger.

While pounding Pei Shaoqing's legs, Xue Paner asked, "Young Master, the thread-bound books you asked those idiots to sell just now can really be sold at a sky-high price of 1,000 yuan?"

"What?" Pei Shaoqing asked with a smile, "Don't you believe it?"

"I believe it, I believe whatever the young master said." Xue Pan'er shook her head and said, "I'm just a little puzzled. How could those high-ranking families spend so much money to buy a flawed thread-bound book?"

"You don't understand this, sometimes flaws are valuable."

Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "However, genuine products should be sold for a lot of money."

"Authentic?" Xue Pan'er said, "Young Master said that in addition to buying flawless products, those high-ranking families will also buy genuine products from those idiots?"

"clever."

Pei Shaoqing couldn't help but reach out and weigh Xue Paner's chin.

Xue Paner smiled charmingly and added some force to his hands.

Pei Shaoqing felt very happy, thinking that the women raised in brothels were just flirting, unlike the little girl Changjin, who could only bow her head and be shy. She immediately cried when she teased her for a few words.

After smiling, Pei Shaoqing said again: "Human nature is like this, no exception."

"Those high-ranking families think they have gained a big advantage, so they will think about getting more cheap."

"The only one book of trial poetry collection can be called a one-time version, and the original first edition of the poetry collection is also valuable and has very high collection value."

Xue Pan'er said, "What price is that young master planning to offer?"

"I don't need to offer this." Pei Shaoqing smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Erlang quickly came in and reported: "Dalang, Cui Bing is back."

"So fast? It seems that I really underestimate these idiots." Pei Shaoqing said, "Let him come in."

"Here!" Cui Erlang bowed and left the door. In less than a moment, another man with a short figure and a vulgar appearance leaned over and came in.

"Liar Cui Bing, pay a visit to Si Cheng."

When he saw Pei Shaoqing, the man quickly crossed his hands to salute.

"Forgive." Pei Shaoqing sat up and asked, "Is the trial poetry collection sold?"

"Sold it, it's a thousand guan." Cui Bing took out a whole bag of gold leaves from his sleeve, and Qingxuan next to him immediately took it happily.

Cui Bing said again: "Si Cheng, Cui Shangshu wants villains to steal the genuine collection of poems and sell them to him."

"Yes." Pei Shaoqing blinked at Xue Pan'er and asked again, "What price did he offer?"

"He offered a high price for the villain fifty knots per book." Cui Bing said, "and he also said he wanted as much as he wanted."

"Young Master, you are so amazing, you can predict this." Xue Pan'er immediately threw admiring eyes to Pei Shaoqing.

Qingxuan shook his head.

This is another silly girl.

"Abing, you're doing a good job, this is a reward for you."

Pei Shaoqing took a big money from the table and threw it to Cui Bing.

Cui Bing was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you Sicheng to reward you."

"Go." Pei Shaoqing said, "Let's go to the Duke of England's Mansion."

"Here!" Cui Bing said, and went out with great enthusiasm.

...

Ideological and Political Hall.

The Political Affairs Hall of the Government is underway.

As mentioned earlier, the court meeting is just a formality.

What really determines the major national policies and guidelines is the Political Affairs Hall.

The court discussions in the Zhengshi Hall are generally presided over by the Shizhong. The Shangshu left Pushe, the right Pushe, the Zhongshu Ling, and the quasi-prime minister who is "the third rank of the Tongzhongshu Jun" are all qualified to participate in the court discussions.

The emperor can participate or not.

The counterpart affairs chief sometimes also attends.

For example, Cui Zhiti, the Minister of Works, needed to attend the discussion on the construction of the Xueyantuo Embassy.

"Report to the Queen of Heaven." Cui Zhiti politely said, "More than 40,000 Xueyantuo was attached to the capital at this time, which caused great shock in the northern and western countries. Especially at this time, the Eastern Turks and Western Turks all rebelled, which had a more exemplary effect. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to deal with Xueyantuo's highest courtesy."

"so what?"

Wu Zetian said: "What kind of courtesy should we give?"

Cui Zhiti said: "Build the Xueyantuo Embassy according to the highest specifications."

After saying this, he said: "Not only should the building area of ​​the embassy be increased, the building specifications should be increased, and the location should also be closer to the imperial city. I think the northwest corner of Pingkangfang is the most suitable."

"Pingkangfang? Northwest corner?" Wu Zetian frowned, "It's all Jinzouyuan there."

Cui Zhiti said: "It is because they are all entering the Zuoyuan, but it is not easy to handle if they are private houses."

"What is Cui Qing's words?" Wu Zetian was a little displeased when he heard this. "Private houses are assets. Are the Jinzouyuans of various prefectures assets?"

During this period, Wu Zetian has been thinking about how to raise money.

Even though Pei Shaoqing promised to raise money, she still had her own plans.

The Jinzuyuan, which is located in Chang'an and the various lifangs, is the fat meat that Wu Zetian is targeting. She plans to order the various lifangs to move the Jinzuyuan to remote lifangs with administrative orders, and then sell these Jinzuyuans for price. Conservatively, these more than 300 Jinzuyuans can also sell at least three million yuan.

Then he took out half of it and gave Taiping a ban gift.

The remaining half is used to prepare for the wedding for Taiping.

But now, Cui Zhiti actually wanted to touch this piece of fat meat too.

How could Wu Zetian agree to this? She had to refute it on the spot.

But at this moment, Xue Yuanchao suddenly said: "Empress, I think what Mr. Cui said is reasonable. It is necessary to build the Xueyantuo Embassy with the highest specifications. It is the most appropriate corner of Pingkangfang."

"I'm going to discuss it." Cui Zhiwen and Li Yiyan agreed one after another.

Pei Yan hesitated for a moment and finally came out to report: "I will also discuss it."

Now only Liu Rengui didn't say anything, and he seemed to be asleep while sitting.
