After the marriage, the sick husband lived a long life

"If you want to win over scholars, this is the best time. You can set up a bookstore in the name of the royal family. Candidates can use their identities to go to the bookstore to get some books or paper for free."

"If candidates want to borrow some important books, they only need to pay a deposit and they can return them after reading them."

The initial free gift was just to attract scholars.

Suppress the business of the Minister of Revenue and others and bring their business to a complete collapse.

Otherwise, during the Autumn Examination, the emperor and his men might become very passive.

Chu Jinxiao thought carefully about what Xu Zhiyan said, and nodded in agreement: "I will talk to my brother the prince about this when I feel better."

Without waiting for Chu Jinxiao to find Su Chensi, he took time out of his busy schedule to come and see Chu Jinxiao.

Looking at Chu Jinxiao's still pale face, Su Chensi frowned: "What's going on?"

Chu Jinxiao told Su Chensi about the poisoning.

After hearing this, Su Chensi was so angry that he smashed the water cup in his hand, and his face became extremely gloomy.

"What a Chu Hechuan! He thinks all of us are dead?"

Chu Jinxiao's health finally got better, but he was very angry that Chu Hechuan poisoned him and turned him into what he is now.

"Brother Prince, don't be angry."

"How can I not be angry? We heard from our master that your health has improved, and we were very happy. Look at you now." What's the difference between this and when you were in poor health before?

When Xu Zhiyan came over with the medicine, she heard the prince's voice. For a moment, she didn't know whether to go in or turn around and leave.

While Xu Zhiyan was struggling, Chu Jinxiao noticed her standing at the door and said, "Yanyan, come in quickly."

Xu Zhiyan walked in with her head held high. Chu Jinxiao sat on the bed and said to Xiao Chensi, "Brother Crown Prince, she is Xu Zhiyan, Yanyan, this is Crown Prince Su Chensi."

"I, a humble lady, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Zhiyan knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Hurry up and get up. You don't have to be so polite when you see me next time. If it weren't for your idea, we would still be controlled by others. You are our benefactor. What's more, you have taken such good care of this kid's health." While Su Chensi was speaking, he hurriedly helped Xu Zhiyan, who had just knelt down, up.

Xu Zhiyan now finally understood why Chu Jinxiao was so willing to help the prince.

Xu Zhiyan had a very good first impression of the prince.

"Brother Prince, we have something to tell you."

"You said."

"How are your preparations for the new rice paper and movable type printing technology going?"

"Very good, the new Xuan paper is really good, much better than the Su family's, and the cost is very low."

"As for movable type printing, we have already printed a lot of commonly used books." Xiao Chensi said with a smile on his face.

This thing is a very good magic weapon for them.

"Yanyan, tell the prince what you think."

Xu Zhiyan pointed at herself. Shouldn't Chu Jinxiao have told the prince about this himself?

How did it fall on her?

"Tell me what you think." Seeing what Xu Zhiyan was thinking, Chu Jinxiao said bluntly.

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan rolled her eyes at Chu Jinxiao and began to talk to the prince about the bookstore.

Xu Zhiyan's idea made the prince suddenly enlightened.

"Miss Xu, you are really great. My father and I have been thinking about how to promote it. Now that we hear you say this, we have an idea. I will go back and tell my father about this." In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to promote it in advance, but they just haven’t found a suitable method.

Now with the method provided by Xu Zhiyan, they can speed up their pace.

"I'm leaving first. I'll come see you when I'm done with my work." Xiao Chensi said to Chu Jinxiao, and then left in a hurry.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the prince who was coming and going in a hurry, and asked Chu Jinxiao with some doubt: "Has the prince always been like this?"

Chu Jinxiao suppressed his laughter and nodded: "You are right, the prince brother has always been like this when it comes to important matters and will not delay for a moment."

"This is good. With a good prince and emperor, the people will be much happier."

"you are right."

Xiao Chensi returned to the palace and told the emperor about Xu Zhiyan's proposal. After hearing it, the emperor immediately ordered someone to call Mr. Jiang to the palace to discuss the matter.

After the three of them discussed for an afternoon, the emperor announced the next day that a bookstore would be established in the capital and that paper and some books would be given to students for free.

When Su Hui heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this cost is too high. We can't do this."

If the emperor issued such a decree, wouldn't their business be greatly impacted?

The emperor sneered at Su Hui who was constantly objecting. Xiao Chensi stepped forward and said, "Minister, this prince has a question that he would like to ask you."

"Please ask, Prince."

"This is something that will benefit all scholars in the world. Why are you opposing it?"

Su Hui thought Xiao Chensi was going to ask something, so he looked at Xiao Chensi with his lips slightly raised and said, "Your Highness, do you know how much it costs to do this?"

"There is only so much paper that can be bought with one hundred coins. If we give it to those scholars now, do you know how much the Su family will lose?"

People who had good relations with the Su family came forward to help speak.

In response, Xiao Chensi just watched them talking about this matter.

When they were arguing, Xiao Chensi asked meaningfully, "But, father never said to use the paper from your Su family, right?"

Su Hui's party members were stunned.

It seemed that the emperor had never said from the beginning to the end that the Su family should be responsible for this matter.

But how is this possible?

Now they are the only ones who can make paper, and he has always kept the business in his hands and never told anyone.

If the emperor and his family don’t use their Su family, who will they use?

"If I hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have known that I had to get the Minister of Revenue's permission to issue some laws." The emperor's voice was calm, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was angry.

Su Hui's face flushed. Because of the rice paper and other things, he had always kept the emperor in his hands.

And this business is extremely profitable from beginning to end.

Now that the emperor said this, Su Hui had a bad feeling in his heart.

Suddenly he remembered what Su Chenjiu had told him about the mysterious things about the prince some time ago.

Could it be that the prince has been dealing with this matter?

As soon as he thought of this, Su Hui subconsciously shook his head. Although the cost of making paper was not high, the process was very complicated.

The prince and his men could not possibly do that.

The emperor looked at Su Hui's constantly changing expression, sneered, and glanced at the eunuch chief beside him. The eunuch chief clapped his hands, and two guards outside came in carrying a large box.

The emperor walked down from the platform and opened the box.

He opened the box, took out a few books from it, and threw them to Su Hui and others beside him.
