Chapter 209 Selling Books

 Li Changxing and others quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they had a way out, they were afraid of being forced to do something that might cost them their heads.

After calming down his agitated mood a little, Li Changxing picked up "The God of War" and quickly read through it.

As soon as he opened the first page, Li Changxing couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the content clearly.

I saw that the preface said straight to the point,

Do you want to know the truth behind Prince Ning’s frame-up?

Want to know who is the real culprit behind the scenes?

I want to know if King Ruoning died because of this, is there any general in Qin who can stop Bei Yan?

The answers you want to know are all in this book.

If you don’t want to become a slave of the subjugated country in a daze, read this book carefully and do what a scholar should do!

The imperial court has reached a point of life and death. The imperial court needs you, and your family also needs you to save it.

……

Li Changxing swallowed, thinking that this was too...

Anyway, as long as one is literate, no one can stop their curiosity and stop reading after seeing such a preface.

After reading the first few pages, Li Changxing became immersed in it.

He was shocked by the general's control over the court written in it, shocked by the emperor's ignorance and suspicion, and even more shocked by the fact that the court had continuously defaulted on the military pay and food for the border sergeants over the years, requiring Prince Ning to make up the money himself.

Although those contents were shocking, there was no reason why Li Changxing didn’t believe them.

Because there is sufficient evidence in it, in addition to Xie Changfeng, it also names the positions of many court officials and the relationships behind them.

In addition, the book also writes about the ambition and cruelty of the Beiyan people, as well as the strength of their army.

After Li Changxing read it, he had no doubt that only King Ning of Qin could stop the invasion of the Northern Yan people. If King Ning was really slandered and died by traitors like Xie Changfeng, then Qin would die sooner or later!

Li Changxing put down the book with a pale face, and let out a long breath of breath that he had just held in his heart.

Foolish kings, treacherous ministers, and the turbulent court are really frightening and frightening.

If this is an opportunity to save King Ning, save the Qin State, and save himself and his family from becoming slaves of the subjugated country, then even if it is very dangerous, he will still have to give his small strength!

Li Changxing closed his eyes and opened them again, making the final decision.

He sells this book!

And other people, like Li Changxing, although their faces are not good-looking, they all chose to sell books.

Although they are profit-seeking businessmen, they do not want to be slaves to the subjugation of their country if given the opportunity.

"Okay, very good." Hao Dongjia smiled, "Don't worry, although there is a risk of being caught and jailed for selling books, you won't lose your life easily.

Moreover, I won’t charge you any costs for selling this book. Whatever you make from the sale will be yours.”

Li Changxing and others smiled bitterly.

No matter how much you earn, there is no point in it, your life will probably be gone.

"If you are worried about harming your wife and children, we can also provide a shelter where your wife and children can be temporarily transferred."

Hao Dongjia said again,

"Once caught, you can blame it on Qibao Pavilion, saying that the books imported from Qibao Pavilion were forced to sell, and you don't know anything else."

This gave Li Changxing and others a reassurance, and their faces improved!

At the same time, Li Changxing and others were also puzzled.

Qibao Pavilion has never participated in court disputes, but this time, they actually went out to support Prince Ning.

Someone asked this question on the spot.

"This is what our eldest lady of Qibao Pavilion ordered." Hao Dongjia vaguely explained without explaining too much.

The next step is to discuss how to sell books and other matters.

After another half an hour, Li Changxing and others left, taking with them thousands of volumes of "The God of War".

-

The next morning.

Li Changxing opened the door to do business as usual, but his mood was different. He was trembling and nervous, but also a little excited to participate in a big event.

He had already asked his wife, children and mother to leave last night and went to the house given by Qibao Pavilion to take shelter.

He also laid off the shop assistants and paid them one month's wages in advance.

The clerk was unwilling to leave, so Li Changxing told him that if his shop could still open in a month, he could come back.

The guy then left in a daze.

Soon, Li Changxing welcomed the first customer in the shop, who was his acquaintance, Xu Xiucai from the next street.

Xu Xiucai often came from a poor family, but he did not have the aloofness of a scholar. He not only opened a private school to teach his children to earn money to support his family, but also copied books in his spare time to earn another piece of money.

In his words, copying books can help you better understand the meaning, and you can also make money easily, so why not do it.

Li Changxing liked Xu Xiucai's thoroughness very much. He often left him some new books and also left him with the job of copying books.

"Dongjia Li, these are the three books from last month." Xu Xiucai smiled and gave him the books he had copied, and asked by the way,

"But if there are any new books, regardless of category, I will copy them if I can, and if I can't, I will buy them back."

Li Changxing looked at Xu Xiucai with a complicated expression for a while, hesitated and said,

"The new "God of War" just arrived yesterday, are you interested?"

"Of course! I have stopped writing "The God of War" for three months. I thought I would never write it again. After all..." Xu Xiucai closed his mouth and showed a smile that you know,

"Please give me a copy, boss. How much is it?"

"One penny." Li Changxing gave it to him.

"It's so cheap this time. It used to be only five cents of silver." Xu Xiucai was surprised, but also happy. Who doesn't love cheap things?

"Haha, the content of this book is actually worth thousands of gold. I am afraid that you will die after reading it, so I will charge you a penny."

Li Changxing smiled complicatedly, and what he said also made Xu Xiucai puzzled.

"Dongjia Li, what did you mean just now?" Xu Xiucai asked.

"You can find out when you go home." Li Changxing saw another guest coming in, but refused to say anything more to Xu Xiucai and waved his hand to let him leave.

Xu Xiucai was full of doubts and left with "The God of War".

When he got home, Xu Xiucai was busy reading the content of "The God of War" and said to his wife,

"Madam, when the children come to class, you can call me again and I will read for a while."

I didn’t even bother to eat breakfast.

Madam Xu was used to her husband's behavior, and she forgot about it when she had a book, so she responded with a smile.

Xu Xiucai returned to his humble study, opened "The God of War" and started reading.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Xu saw that all the children who had come to study had arrived, so she came to call him, but there was no answer after calling him twice.

Madam Xu pushed the door open and entered, and saw her husband looking shocked and pale.

"What's going on? What's wrong with you?" Madam Xu hurriedly walked towards him.

"Madam, please let the children go home first. There will be no class today. For my husband, I have to think about things."

Xu Xiucai's expression was ugly.
