The fifteen-day deadline given by Liu He finally reached the last day.

In the early morning, Wang Yun led many ministers to rush into the palace to meet the emperor.

"Oh? Have you all collected all the money?" Liu He was quite surprised in his tone.

Wang Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have worked hard all the time and tried my best to finally live up to the holy hope. I have collected a total of 28.7 billion yuan. Today I will come to hand in the imperial decree to Your Majesty."

"Okay, my dear is indeed the white jade pillar of the great man who raises the sky, and has a purple gold beam in the sea. With such huge amount of money, I have no worries about Cao Cao, Liu Yan, and Goguryeo."

Liu He was very happy and threw down the book he was reading.

Wang Yun also suppressed his excitement: "Your Majesty, I don't know if there are any other people coming to pick up the 50,000 books?"

Liu He waved his hand: "Hey, who else can be as loyal as the father-in-law? A few days ago, Zhen Yi went to find the queen and wanted to buy five of these hundred books at a lower price. Zhang and Su families also came to Luoyang in person, wanting to get a share of the pie, but they were too stingy. The price I sold was already low enough, but I was not satisfied. I tried to get a few more discounts. I was unhappy and scolded them."

Wang Yun was overjoyed. He also learned through Eunuch Hong that the heads of the three families had entered the palace one after another and then seemed to be disappointed. Now that Liu He himself said so, it is natural that the matter is certain.

He pretended to be angry and said, "These three people have been blessed with the emperor for a long time. Now that the court is in crisis, they do not want to serve the country. Instead, they are suspected of taking advantage of the situation and robbing, which is really disgusting."

Liu He sighed heavily: "Oh, fortunately, a father-in-law of the country will share my worries. He sent an order to King Yun of Jin to be the Marquis of Lian County to reward him."

Wang Yun was overjoyed: "The old minister thanked Your Majesty for his kindness, and he must devote himself to his whole life until his death!"

"My dear, please get up quickly." Liu He helped him up with his own hands.

"Come, bring that book over."

Soon, a group of imperial guards carried the wooden boxes over again. Wang Yun and other ministers also smelled the faint fragrance of ink that radiated from it. At this moment, in their minds, this was the most moving fragrance in the world.

"Fifty thousand books are all here, I don't know the money..."

When Liu He said this, his eyes were shining, and there was no demeanor of the emperor. Instead, he looked like a businessman bargaining.

Wang Yun hurriedly turned to the side: "Two eighty and seven billion yuan, of which 87 billion yuan is Wuzhu coins, and 20 billion yuan is converted into two million gold, and they are all outside the palace gate."

"Okay, okay, you can take me there."

Liu He hurriedly ran out as if he couldn't wait.

Outside the palace, there were indeed rows of carriages, lined up neatly, and there were two or three wooden boxes on each car. Liu He casually opened several of them, either heavy Wuzhu coins or yellow and orange gold ingots. Even though Liu He, the emperor of Emperor, had seen so much money at the same time.

However, Qian Li's reaction was a little more indifferent than him. After all, he had to count the annual income of the treasury every year, and he had long been accustomed to the tens of billions of dollars.

"Okay, I believe the ministers have worked hard to raise so much money. The ministers have solved the urgent needs of the court, and I remember it in my heart."

"Your Majesty is so ridiculous, I am so frightened." The ministers replied in unison.

Wang Yun rolled his eyes and went up to ask, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes: Impulse must be hot. The old minister thinks that once these 50,000 books are published and flowing into the business, it will cause a great sensation. Although it will take several months to sell them all, a large amount of money can be recovered in one or two months. The imperial court has used many money this year. In the opinion of the old minister, the profits of this book trafficking are abundant. If it can be continuously and without any intervals, the income of this item alone can more than double the annual income of the treasury."

Liu He looked at him: "Is it because I want you to start printing the second batch of books?"

"Yes, this is exactly what the old minister wants. Although I am not very clear about Your Majesty's papermaking and printing skills, I know that it is not easy to create such a book, but I am afraid it will take a lot of time."

"Well, my dear guess is right." Liu He said affirmatively: "Just talking about these 50,000 books only took more than a month, and I worked overnight to print them. I was thinking about it and preparing to add more people and print more."

"That's it." Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty prints the second batch of books at this moment. After more than a month, the printing will be completed. I will also sell the 50,000 books and get a lot of money in my hand. At that time, when I come to pick up books from Your Majesty, the business will continue, and Your Majesty should no longer worry about money and food expenses."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful."

Liu He applauded: "My dear is always in mind for the court. With the kind of grandfather who is like me, I think Taier will become a pillar of the country in the future. I will wait and see."

Just this sentence made Wang Yun's heart beat faster.

"The old minister must not dare to let the holy grace betrayal!"

"Okay, okay, today is the happiest day since I ascended the throne. All the ministers will go back now and prepare for the sale of books. I will also arrange the war in Yuzhou well. Please kneel down and rest assured."

"I'm going to leave."

With great excitement, Wang Yun personally escorted the convoy on both sides of the convoy carrying these books back to Situ's Mansion.

After watching him leave, Liu He's face suddenly became cold, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Old guy, I want to take full control of the voice of selling books in my own hands. It is really a great dream to have a stake in the monopoly power with me."

He waved to Qian Li, and Qian Li hurriedly came forward.

"Daozhun, you immediately take this money and keep an eye on the business movement at any time. As long as someone sells the land, they will sell it immediately."

Qian Li wondered, "Your Majesty, Situ and the others have collected all the money to buy books, I am afraid that the land will not be sold in a short time, right?"

Liu He laughed and said, "Don't worry. I just deliberately said that the time for printing books was to be a month, so I was sure that they would never be able to sell the second 28.7 billion yuan in one month. And I specially added a sentence, saying that they would add craftsmen and print more books. In that month, I would probably have 80,000 books, or even 100,000 books. They were determined to monopolize the business of selling books, so how could they sit down and watch these books be taken away by others?"

Qian Li also understood: "So that's it. If Wang Situ and others want to continue to take all the second batch of books in their hands, they will inevitably continue to sell land and other things."

"Haha, I want to see how much land they can have to sell. I want to squeeze out these aristocratic families who dare to secretly fight against the court, only rely on personal interests in everything, but are unpublic, and they still want them to come up willingly and beg me to squeeze them..."
