Tang Sufan coughed twice, as if he didn't see this guy, he turned his body away from the greeting.
He turned around and looked at Ma Zhou and said leisurely.
"It's Prince Bin. Come on, it's too noisy here. Go to my place and talk in detail."
Looking at Tang Sufan, who had a carefree look on his face, Ma Zhou suddenly felt messy in the wind.
If this paper-making place is related to the entire Tang Dynasty context, the popular Datang Daily in Chang'an City is not just like him.
In comparison, how can this matter be explained to the court behind the Chang'an Bookstore? Is it no better than the current burning fire?
But now, Ma Zhou, who was so whipped after hearing the news, thought that Mr. Tang would also be anxious and lustful.
Unexpectedly, it seemed like it was not their own business.
Ma Zhou said quickly even before he could catch his breath.
"Sir, how's the fire damage here? Can we still investigate more carefully?"
The reason why Chang'an Bookstore was able to be established within six months was entirely due to the new paper and printing produced in Jinghe Village.
Now, it is obvious that there are evil people planning to suppress Chang'an Bookstore.
There is a profound meaning in it that even Ma Zhou can briefly think about.
I saw Tang Sufan waving his hands leisurely and moving his mouth to indicate over there, with a calm and calm expression on his face.
"No, here, didn't you see that the burning is finished?"
Ma Zhou:......
On the side, Li Yifu stood up indignantly.
"Sir, the student dares to say that the Chang'an Bookstore founded by him is connected with the world's cultural context and has benefited countless literary students. It is an act of great justice for the country and the court. Now that the thieves are causing trouble, although you have the great intention not to worry about property, This act and this act are intolerable to the laws of heaven.”
"The villain thinks that it is necessary to report it to the court and investigate it thoroughly. This evil deed must be severely punished without mercy!"
That majestic and angry look on his face made Li Yifu's face flush.
At this time, Tang Sufan took a look as if "waking up from a dream".
"Hey, brother Yifu, you're here too."
Li Yifu:......
However, Li Yifu's face suddenly brightened, he lowered his head and clasped his fists and replied.
"The Yi family is ashamed to be called brother."
At this time, Ma Zhou quickly explained.
"Young Master, after the Imperial Academy of Yifu came to work, he had no way to become an official. Although Yifu has little talent, he also has great righteousness in his heart."
"So Brother Yifu has been working as a volunteer at Chang'an Bookstore to help King Bin. However, things are urgent today, so King Bin asked Yifu to come with him."
The inner secrets of Chang'an Bookstore, the Young Master has ordered, must not be known to outsiders.
Now that the young master asked this question "deliberately", Ma Zhou was so frightened that he quickly explained.
When Li Yifu said he wanted to come to Chang'an Bookstore to volunteer, he also guessed that he would be helpless in Chang'an, and now he was lucky enough to take the first step.
If you can help your friend more, please help him more.
This guy is really determined to complain to his family members.
Tang Sufan smiled, did not answer, and patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder.
"Okay, Prince Bin, calm down and let's go. I just brought out a pot of fine wine. Come to my place and chat slowly."
Although Tang Sufan did not blame Ma Zhou, he breathed a sigh of relief.
but.
"Sir, I..."
Ma Zhou was so anxious that he almost shed tears.
God knows that he, the nominal head of Chang'an Bookstore, is now burdened with an official position. Now that something big has happened to the paper mill of Chang'an Bookstore, he cannot escape the blame.
The court will definitely investigate him without even thinking about the consequences.
How can he still be in the mood to drink that wine now?
"Okay, don't be in a hurry, I have something to explain, but I can't explain it clearly here."
After that, he glanced at Li Yifu intentionally or unintentionally.
"What about that? Yifu, how about we come together?"
Hearing this, Li Yifu suddenly became excited and hurriedly followed the martial arts.
"Yifu is honored!"
Tang Sufan explained a few words, in summary.
This workshop will be abandoned at this point. After the fire is dealt with, it will be bulldozed again and we will discuss it later.
No one asked about Tang Sufan's wealthy behavior.
Returned to the courtyard.
Ma Zhou's face was filled with anxiety, while Li Yifu looked secretly at it.
He is worthy of being a little poetry fairy, with an innocent mind. He lives outside this village, but he is famous in Chang'an!
"Prince Bin, please prepare for the next two days. The Datang Bookstore will be closed. All Datang Daily newspapers will be published on another day."
Hearing this, Ma Zhou was shocked!
"My boss! This matter is not trivial. I have to go to the Minister of Finance before making a decision."
Nowadays, even Ma Zhou is a little confused about the relationship between Tang Gongzi and the court.
For example, between the imperial court and the prince of Tang Dynasty, there is a clear distinction between them, but there is also a kind of subordination invisibly that they regard them as if they are there, but they also treat them as if they are not.
Every time, Ma Zhou couldn't help but think deeply about why the Tang Dynasty Daily, which affected the whole Tang Dynasty's reputation, was so popular that the real power was in the hands of Tang Gongzi.
How unfathomable Mr. Tang really is.
You should know that today's Chang'an Bookstore follows the Taiqing Division and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province.
And now Shangshu Youpushe is a close minister of the emperor, Mr. Fang Xuanlingfang, a veteran minister of the Prince of Qin's palace!
Even Mr. Fang, who was in Shangshu Province, turned a blind eye to Mr. Tang's instructions about Chang'an Bookstore.
So now that Ma Zhou is familiar with everything behind Chang'an Bookstore, he has long been filled with doubts.
But, I didn’t dare to ask more.
"No need to retaliate, just do as I say."
Tang Sufan said firmly, and the promised wine was placed in front of the three of them.
With a few side dishes, Tang Sufan drank and ate leisurely, while Ma Zhou and Li Yifu listened like two students.
"Sir, what you did this must be from a wealthy family. It's my humble opinion! This is inappropriate!"
Li Yifu struggled for a long time and still said from the side.
Regarding Li Yifu's words, Ma Zhou also secretly blamed Yifu for being a little overstepped.
Tang Sufan glanced at it lightly.
"Oh? How to say?"
"Sir, Yifu would like to speak boldly."
Li Yifu picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, as if to embolden himself.
Then he said——
"From the beginning of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the noble families dominated the world's knowledge and dominated the world's official career. Although they were more talented than others, they gathered power!"
"It is not good for the world, the people, and the Holy One!"
Ma Zhou on the side was almost so frightened by Li Yifu's words that he knocked down the cups in front of him. Li Yifu was filled with indignation and continued talking with a look of confusion.
"How many students from poor families in this world are determined to serve the country, but they have no way to become an official or to serve the country? Depending on their family background, they neglect their knowledge, although the path to becoming an official has been available since ancient times!"
"It is widely said in the world that talent is the first priority and virtue is the criterion, but why is this door of shortcuts recommended in the world's books open to the poor in the world? The Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult for the people of the world to count. This is even more unfair and unfair. !”
"The world has been studying hard for a long time. One book can be completed in one year, and one piece of paper is as valuable as copper and gold!"
"When scholars in the world become officials, they should put the country first, not family status. If things go on, won't our Tang Dynasty be like the evil consequences of the eight powers in the Wei, Jin, north and south who interfered with politics!?!!!"
Ma Zhou:......
Pfft, I shouldn’t have brought this idiot here today!
Then Li Yifu clasped his fists and bowed his head!
"Mr. Chang'an Bookstore, what you did is a great righteousness and a holy act for the poor family and students in the world. If you avoid the side door at this moment, you will be able to endure it for a while instead of for a lifetime."
"Therefore, Yifu would like to kindly request Sir, Chang'an Bookstore cannot be closed!"
"Yifu!!!"
At this time, Ma Zhou finally restrained himself from raising his eyebrows and quickly shouted to stop.
These words are nothing less than a thunderous shock. It doesn’t matter if he loses his official uniform. If these words get out, his life will be lost!
From the beginning to the end, Li Yifu's shocking words scared Ma Zhou's heart.
Do you dare to say these words from anywhere? You don't want to die, why do I still want my life?
Hearing Ma Zhou's shouting, Li Yifu immediately kept silent as if aware of it. With a look of panic, he quickly confessed to Tang Sufan.
"Sir, Yifu...is too...talkative."
But in fact, what needs to be said is just outputted in one go.
The last look of fear, this is called emotional intelligence...
