"What a scandal! What a scandal! Tomorrow, I will impeach this kid for disrupting public order! "
Wei Zheng returned to his residence after the morning court. When he heard about the incident that happened in front of the Strange Culture store in the East Market, he was so angry that he slammed the table.
Pei Shi glared at Wei Zheng and said angrily, "How dare you? You don't know how many poor children have benefited from this kid's actions. If you impeach him, let's see if the poor scholars in the world will be happy! "
Wei Zheng glared at her and said, "But this commotion was caused by Li Zexuan's lack of consideration. If we don't punish him severely, what will happen to the laws of the Tang Empire?"
Pei Shi was speechless at her husband's stubbornness. After a while, she said, "Old Master, you are also from a poor family. You should know how much the poor children crave books. Why do you still want to make things difficult for this kid?"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he frowned and hesitated. After a long time, he said firmly, "Merit is a crime.
Mistakes are mistakes. Li Zexuan's printing of books to benefit the poor children is a merit. But his carelessness caused the customers in the store to fight and disrupt public order. That is a mistake! He should be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. I will write a letter to ask for his merits. But I will also write a letter to impeach him for his mistakes! "
This old thing's stubbornness truly angered Pei shi. She angrily snorted and turned around to leave, leaving behind only one sentence:
"Hmph! Impeach him if you want! You will sleep in the study tonight! "
"Hey! Madam, listen to your husband's reasoning! "
.....
"Old Master, this is what happened. Once the cheap books of the Strange Culture were released, all the big and small bookstores in Chang 'an City were unable to resist. We can't compete with them in terms of price!"
Chongren Square, Zhangsun Wuji's residence.
The shopkeeper of the Ming De Bookstore was complaining to Zhangsun Wuji. From his tone, the Ming De Bookstore should belong to the Zhangsun Family.
Zhangsun Wuji's expression didn't change much. It was as if the bookstore's poor business had nothing to do with him. He slowly took a sip of tea and said calmly,
"Wu Mengyang, why are you in such a hurry? Calm down when something happens! "
Although Zhangsun Wuji's tone was calm, Wu Mengyang shuddered when he heard it. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Old Master is right!"
Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand.
"Have a seat! Do you know how many books there are in this batch of Strange Culture? And why were their books so cheap? As far as I know, if all the books are sold at such a price, I'm afraid that no bookstore in Chang 'an City will not lose money. Li Zexuan dares to sell like this, is he planning to make a loss? "
It had to be said that there were many people in history who called Zhangsun Wuji an old fox, and there was a certain logic to it. No matter what situation he was in, he could always use the calmest thinking to find the most crucial point of the problem. This was the most terrifying aspect of him.
"Replying to Master, this lowly one has already investigated. There are a total of 15 types of books in this batch of books from Strange Culture. There are about 300 books of each type. All of them have been sold out today. As for whether there will be such books in the future, this lowly one does not know. Also, their books are all printed from Strange Interest Pavilion's workshop. This lowly one also does not know what their cost is and whether they will lose money by selling like this. "
Wu Mengyang replied seriously.
Zhangsun Wuji frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's wait and see!"
.....
In the afternoon, Li Er sent someone to the Li Residence to pass down a decree, carrying out a round of "criticism and education" for Li Zexuan. The others in the family were frightened by this decree, but after Li Zexuan heard the decree, his heart bloomed with joy.
Being grounded at home might be a kind of torture to others, but to a homebody like Li Zexuan, it was a kind of great enjoyment! As for the three months of salary that was deducted by Li Er, Li Zexuan expressed that he did not care at all. Going to the Imperial College to teach was not his original intention. If he could stay at home and be a rich second generation, Li Zexuan was willing to give Li Er 100 million instead.
"Xuan 'er, I feel that it's better if you don't open this bookstore. Our family is so rich, why do you need to open a bookstore? If you cause so much trouble for no reason and lose the Emperor's favor, then the losses will outweigh the gains."
When Old Man Li heard Li Er's decree, a wave of anger rushed to his head. He wanted to give Li Zexuan a "punishment to make a filial son" package, but he was intimidated by his wife's power. He could only try his best to suppress his anger and persuade him calmly.
"Father, the opening of Strange Culture has nothing to do with money, but it carries the beliefs and dreams of many people. The Tang Dynasty needs Strange Culture, and the poor children of the world also need Strange Culture. This bookstore is not something that I can easily give up. His Majesty's decree today has no intention of punishing me. Otherwise, the punishment would not be so light. Moreover, His Majesty has given a lot of support behind this Strange Culture. It is not something that I can shut down just because I want to! "
His father was against his business, so Li Zexuan naturally had to think of a way to persuade him. Otherwise, the family would not get along well, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
When Li Jingmo heard his son's last sentence, he was shocked. He knew that he could not persuade him anymore. He could only sigh, shake his head, and leave. Now that his son was becoming more and more capable, he was more and more worried. Indeed, the more you gain, the more you lose!
.....
"I'm on vacation, I'm on vacation. I don't know how to spend the money. I'll buy a Nokia in my left hand and a Motorola in my right. Bah bah bah bah, I sang wrong!"
Li Zexuan had given himself a long vacation, and he had just persuaded his father. Li Zexuan was in an extremely good mood. When he returned to the Western Courtyard, he could not help but forget himself and start humming a song.
"Pfft! Young Master, why is the tune of your song so weird? "
Xiao Xi heard the weird song from afar. She went up and wiped Li Zexuan's face with a cold towel while laughing.
"Yes, yes, yes. Young Master, your song is really bad. You sound like a hooligan when you sing!"
Xiao He also came over to join in the fun.
Li Zexuan smiled lecherously and said, "Hehe, since you said that I am a hooligan, then Xiao He, you can come over tonight and serve me!"
"Ah! No! Young Mistress is about to marry into the family. Young Master, how can you think about these things? "
Xiao He quickly hugged her chest and jumped away as she exclaimed.
"Haha, this is what you get for your mouth!"
Li Zexuan took a pear and laughed. Then, he said while eating, "Xiao Xi, come in and help me grind it!"
The students of the School of Mathematics would have their weekly exam tomorrow. However, the exam papers were not out yet. Although he was grounded, the progress of the students could not be delayed! As for the lessons for the next few days, he would let Xu Hongzhi replace him to teach them. Anyway, with his help, Xu Hongzhi had almost completely understood the first volume of mathematics. He could openly slack off!
