Chapter 173: Half A Month's Salary Is Gone
The emperor is the biggest dog in the world!
There is a difference between a big family and a big dog. Although a big family is easy to cheat, but at least the big family treats money as money, and the big dog is different! It belongs to the kind of people who don't want to count a lot of money, but can make him pay obediently without any tricks.
Xu Qing's country once encountered a big dog, Dongfeng, who had 100 million green coins, bought thirty-five of them without blinking.
But now, with a slip of paper to the Ministry of Accounts, a pile of money can be allocated. This department will deduct a little, and that department will take another bite...
Alas, it really is a big dog!
Xu Qing dared to bet that if the account books of the court yamen were checked in accordance with scientific methods, many black holes would definitely be found.
And there are definitely many corrupt officials in the imperial court.
But then again, no matter how stupid or powerful the emperor is, even a period of open and unannounced visits can find out some corrupt officials.
But why are some cleaned up thoroughly and some even found, but still let them be safe and sound?
This is the emperor's way of balance. Unless there is the ruthlessness of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise the emperors will probably not kill corrupt officials.
Because corrupt officials are also divided into traitors and capable ministers!
Although the emperor was very upset, his use value had not been exhausted, and he could not die yet.
Greedy so much money for nothing and die like this? I feel uncomfortable! climb up! Work for me!
Once this corrupt official has no use value, or threatens the emperor's rule, it will be miserable...
The emperor found various reasons every minute and used various schemes to deal with you.
Even if the emperor's old father is dead, you have to kill a corrupt official before burying him...
But... if you are the kind of corrupt official who has no value at all, the court can pick out anyone who can replace you...
Tsk tsk tsk... Excuse me... Immediately! immediately! Die to grandpa!
The Emperor...a strange creature somewhere between clever and stupid...
But fortunately, Xu Qing is very glad that he is not the emperor. If he is the emperor, he will feel so sorry to see his ministers taking his money and not doing business!
...
After eating the cakes, Master Xueda went to see the shop that Xiao Ye had just bought.
The newspaper sample just now was still printed by Qingxue Study, because although the shop was quickly bought by Xiao Ye, it has not yet installed printing utensils, counter bookshelves and other facilities.
But the good news is that Qingxue Study has already made a sample engraving block, and the engraving block can be used directly after the construction of Yongzhou Xunbao is completed.
In Dachu, although movable type printing is widely used, engraving printing is still not eliminated. Like the sage books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, almost every big bookstore has its own set of engraving blocks. It needs to be printed and used directly, and there is no need to reprint it. Take the time to type.
As for the module distribution of the newspaper and the pattern on each page, Xu Qing also uses the original engraving to make it, and the content inside is filled with movable type.
So a newspaper has to go through two printing processes before it can be sold.
Almost until tomorrow, Yongzhou Xunbao, the big Chu and the first newspaper shop in the world, will be able to start working normally.
I still remember that when Qingxue Study was just opened, the facilities used were either inherited from the Xianwang Mansion, or paid for by Kaiyuan Bookstore.
It's changed a lot now, Qingxue Study is already the largest bookstore in Yongzhou City, and for things like printing equipment, there are craftsmen working overtime at every turn.
Everyone in the industry knows that you can mess with anyone in Yongzhou City, don't mess with Qingxue Study!
The Li Family Bookstore was bothering Qingxue Study, he is gone...
He also lost the books from Liujia Bookshop's open and aboveboard pirated Qingxue Study...
The son of the former Yongzhou Sima brought people to Qingxue Study to find trouble, and Yongzhou Sima and his son packed them up and sent them away... In terms of lawsuits, Qingxue Study has not failed yet!
But they can't make trouble with Qingxue Study, because now they have signed a contract with Qingxue Study, everyone can sell the books of Qingxue Study, but they have to share the profits with Qingxue Study 50-50.
Qingxue Study calls this model a channel...
...
Xu Qing slumped on a chair, took a bite of the pear Xiao Ruxue brought from home, and went to court, he hasn't been in a lawsuit for a long time, his hands are itchy...
Is there anyone who doesn't have eyes to sue him?
He couldn't hold back the passion in his heart!
But it's a pity... Everyone is a smart person, and they won't spend their time doing nothing.
Moreover, the father-in-law of the owner of Qingxue Study is still the county magistrate of Yong'an...
how? Who is going to sue my son-in-law?
Tsk tsk... Those who have gone through so many tribulations big and small and still want to sue Qingxue Study are either fools or lunatics!
...
In the early days, the backyard of Qingxue's study was the small world of Xu Qing, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ruxue. The printing equipment and venue were placed separately in a workshop very close to each other.
There were very few people in the backyard, and at most one maid was left to help copy the books, but most of the time even the maids didn't need to stay, Xiao Ruxue would sit next to Xu Qing and help Xu Qing copy.
It is really surprising that none of the three strange people have the habit of letting servants serve them.
That's all for Xu Qing, it has become a habit to come here alone.
Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye... the children raised by the prince's parents, such a family background can develop such an independent character, this is really rarer than giant pandas!
The current Xiao Ruxue is much more sensible than when Xu Qing met for the first time, she is like a completely different person!
And the reason why Xiao Ruxue put aside her playtime to spare no effort to help Xu Qing copy the book, as far as she is concerned, is to be the first person to see the new story.
Xiao Ruxue was willing to copy the book, so Xu Qing let her go.
I can only send her an extra grilled fish or fried chicken leg in the future to make up for it.
In the evening, it was still Su Qian who came to pick up Xu Qing.
Xu Qing walked out the door, looked at Su Qian and said, "Young lady is still sick, didn't you say you don't come to pick me up?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "It's just a little cough. It's fine after eating the rock sugar pear made by my husband. I practice martial arts all the year round. This little illness is not considered a disease."
...
At the gate of Qingxue's study, the two maids watched Xu Qing and Su Qian walking away side by side and couldn't help talking in low voices.
"Look, the master and his wife are so affectionate, and the wife of the master came to pick him up in such a cold weather."
"Yeah, didn't you hear what my boss said just now? The lady of my boss just coughed a little, and my heart hurts so much... I wish I could meet such a husband..."
"I've never seen such a loving couple as the owner..."
...
While the two maids were discussing in low voices, a voice came from behind. The voice had the shrill voice of a girl, but the difference was that it was colder inside.
"You don't go to work, what are you talking about here?! Half a month's wages are gone!"
The two maids turned their heads and saw Xiao Ruxue staring at them with a calm face.
The two maids hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy: "Miss Xue calm down, slaves don't dare anymore! Don't dare anymore!"
Xiao Ruxue snorted coldly and got on the carriage home without saying a word.
Only the two maids were left in place...
Seeing this scene, the rest of the people immediately dispersed.
Miss Xue doesn't have any airs on weekdays. Even if the servants make mistakes, they seldom blame them and only remind them... What happened today... And they didn't say anything bad about the boss... They were obviously boasting... ...Isn't it okay to praise the love of husband and wife?
