"What do you think about the Huiwen Bookstore?" Chunyu Yue knelt at the table and looked at the people he had invited.
There were more than a dozen people who came, all of whom were Confucianists who had a good relationship with him.
Originally, he wanted to invite Shusun Tong. Recently, Shusun Tong suddenly gained the trust of His Majesty and his status in the court rose greatly. There would definitely be many benefits to making friends with him.
Unfortunately, Shusun Tong directly refused, which made him lose face.
Shusun Tong still had someone secretly find out about Zhao Qingrui. Knowing that the emperor would go to the villa over there every day, he knew that this person must not be offended.
Besides, the bookstore opened by Zhao Qingrui is also for the benefit of people all over the world. This is a good thing and there is no need to oppose it.
Didn’t you see that Prime Minister Feng and Prime Minister Li both agreed with it and even went to the bookstore to look at the book several times?
He also couldn't understand Chunyu Yue's suicidal behavior. It can be said that most of His Majesty's disgust for Confucian scholars was caused by Chunyu Yue.
Not only did this guy do it himself, he also instigated Prince Fusu to oppose Your Majesty.
"In my opinion, the people behind Huiwen Bookstore are crazy. Reading is such an elegant thing, how can they let everyone read it for free?" said one of the Confucian scholars indignantly.
"I think we Confucians should take the lead in matters like this. Who is behind this Huiwen Bookstore?"
"That's right, we should take the lead."
"I remember that this bookstore seemed to be Lu Sheng's property before, and it was confiscated by His Majesty. Could it be that His Majesty is the person behind this shop?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
Considering His Majesty's abnormal behavior during this period, it is not impossible.
"That's impossible. Your Majesty doesn't need that little money. Besides, Your Majesty doesn't like us." A Confucian scholar said hesitantly.
A gloomy look flashed in Chunyu Yue's eyes. The Huiwen Bookstore was open to the public for free, which had a great impact on Confucianism.
Moreover, Huiwen Bookstore is now famous, and this kind of limelight and fame and fortune should belong to them.
"What do you think if we jointly open a bookstore?" Chunyu Yue tapped his fingertips, and his meaning was very clear. If they could suppress Huiwen Bookstore, the bookstore they would open would definitely be more elegant, unlike some bookstores where going to read books would lower the grade.
"Dr. Chunyu, this is a good idea." Someone immediately agreed. To be honest, these people have been itching to make a move for a long time.
Now that Chunyu Yue brought it up, everyone immediately responded.
Then a group of people began to discuss where to open the bookstore and how to suppress Huiwen Bookstore.
They are running a legitimate bookstore and have not done anything illegal. Even Your Majesty cannot do anything to them.
Chunyu Yue and his colleagues also started to get busy, looking for suitable stores, how much each store should pay, and what books to take out. No matter how many aspects, they had to be better than Huiwen Book Store.
"Doctor Chunyu, does our shop use bamboo slips and silk books, or do we use white paper like Huiwen Bookstore?" asked a Confucian scholar.
"Of course we use bamboo slips and silk books. This is our heritage and we cannot forget our roots," said one of the Confucian scholars.
"Use bamboo slips and silk books." Chunyu Yue also agreed. The issue of white paper had already made them very annoyed.
Chunyu Yue spoke, and no one else had any objections. This group of people was led by Chunyu Yue.
——————
At the Wang family, two brothers who had secretly sneaked out of their home came to the Zhao family.
"Sister, we are here to play with you again. I brought you a gift." Before Wang Wei walked in, the voice came from outside the yard.
Zhao Qingrui smiled helplessly. The two brothers would come over to play again every two days. Wang Yuan was not as reserved as before, and Wang Wei was even more enthusiastic.
Of course Zhao Qingrui knew why they liked to run towards her house. It was because the cook was so good.
It just so happens that I asked the cook to fry some dried fish today, which would be great to treat them with.
"Did you sneak out of the house again?" Zhao Qingrui asked with a smile.
She became more and more familiar with them in the past few days. Wang Wei was very enthusiastic and told her a lot of things about his family, such as which cousin was not good at martial arts and was beaten by the grandfather, which cousin was about to get married, and which cousin was the most powerful.
Of course, they also let it slip that they had sneaked out.
"Hehe, great-grandfather forces us to read military books, it's so boring." Wang Wei scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
Wang Yuan also nodded. They had read those military books since they were young, and they didn't know how many times they had read them. They couldn't say they knew them by heart, but they were almost there. Their great-grandfather always liked to force them to read them.
"Marquis Wucheng also hopes that you can become successful in the future. It is not easy for you to become a general. Fighting a war does not only rely on force, but also requires brains." Zhao Qingrui said gently.
The Wang family had two marquises in their family, and they attached great importance to the education of their descendants in military operations and warfare.
"We already knew all that. Grandpa and the others always talk about it." Wang Wei curled his lips. They didn't teach us anything new. It was boring to listen to them.
"I want to follow my father to kill those Huns." Wang Yuan said seriously. He wanted to go to the battlefield more than learning those marching strategies.
He will be fifteen years old in the second half of this year and will no longer be a child.
"You've also killed the Huns?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wang Yuan curiously. This kid was indeed strong. Did the Wang family raise their children to be so tough? Taking a child who was only ten years old to the battlefield?
Wang Yuan took a bite of the dried fish depressedly, "No, my father didn't let me go, he just asked me to watch."
"War is not an easy thing. Besides, many things can be solved without fighting." Zhao Qingrui said gently. If the great cause is accomplished, the Huns will indeed have a lot of problems.
The current Chanyu of the Xiongnu is Touman Chanyu. Wait two years and Maodun Chanyu will kill his father with a whistling arrow. He will then kill his stepmother, younger brother, and all the ministers who disobey him, and then establish himself as Chanyu.
He unified the northern grasslands for the first time and established the huge and powerful Xiongnu Empire.
This ruthless man was naturally on her list of "special care".
Her people had not yet infiltrated the Xiongnu, but by this time Maodun had already returned to the Xiongnu, and even the Chanyu Touman had given him enough military power, and he was becoming more and more powerful.
"How can we expand the territory of the Qin Dynasty without fighting?"
"Fighting is only one of the methods. We can also use economics and culture to gradually gain control." Zhao Qingrui calmly drank a cup of tea. It's just that this roundabout method is slower.
The hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are indeed very powerful. They were born for war. I hope that I can restrain or control them in advance before I rebel.
