Chapter 8 The great ministers of the imperial court gathered at the book shop and marveled at the magic of paper

Lees Mansion.

After hearing the news, Li Si thought for a while and ordered the servant:

“Go buy some books.”

“Oh.”

The servant answered, left the house, and went straight to Ye Ji’s bookstore.

After paying for it and entering the bookstore directly, he took a book at random and walked back to the counter.

“How much silver does this book cost?”

The clerk’s attitude is neither humble nor promiscuous.

“Sorry, the bookstore is currently only available for reading in the bookstore, and does not sell books for the time being.”

The servant was stunned.

He didn’t know that because the number of books in Ye Ji’s book was too small, Ye Xuan was not ready to sell them to the outside world for the time being.

“No, what’s going on with you Ye Ji Shuxuan?”

“I have silver, why don’t you sell it?”

The clerk still has that humble and unassuming.

“I’m sorry, but this book shop is temporarily selling books.”

The servant was a little annoyed.

“This is what our master asked me to buy!”

“If you don’t sell, how can I deal with my master?”

“Can you be accommodating?”

Seeing the clerk’s soft and hard attitude, the servant thought for a while, lowered his voice and said:

“I’m from the Prime Minister’s House, can I be more accommodating.”

The clerk did not budge.

This quarrel made the originally quiet book shop noisy.

The readers looked at Li Si’s servant at the counter, their brows frowned slightly, and the expression on their faces seemed to be very unpleasant.

The Li Si servant was taken aback, and his face was ugly.

He didn’t dare to make trouble.

After all, a bunch of readers are staring.

What’s more, the other party is Chang Shilang.

Although the official position is not big, it is a good official.

More importantly, he came out on behalf of his master.

If he makes a big fuss here and loses the face of his master, I am afraid that his little life will have to be accounted for.

The servant returned to the mansion with a blue face and informed him of the matter.

Lees was silent for a long time.

Even his name doesn’t work?

He flicked his sleeves.

“In that case, I will personally go to see what is so bad about this Ye Ji Shu Shop.”

The leaves of the courtyard swayed and rustled.

Inside the room.

Wei Yipan sat on the futon, holding bamboo simplifications and drinking tea.

“Good tea.”

Wei Yi sighed.

At this time the servant walked in, bowing his back and making a report.

“Master, there is movement over there in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

“Oh?”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, “Ye Ji Shuhan.” ”

His tone was affirmative.

The servant patted the horse’s butt, “The master is extremely clever, and he guessed correctly, and their carriage and horse are indeed heading for the bookstore.” ”

“No, Li Si is not such an impatient person, it’s really strange and strange.”

Wei Yi was a little strange.

“The books of the small listening Ye Ji book shop can only be viewed in the book shop, and cannot be taken out, let alone sold to the outside world, so I quarreled with the servant of the prime minister’s house who wanted to borrow books.”

Wei Yi smiled.

“So it is, it must be Li Si’s servant who informed him of his identity, and the other party still won’t give in, so Li Si will go in person.”

He put down the book in his hand and stood up.

“Prepare a car, go to Ye Ji Bookstore.”

“Let’s go join in the fun.”

He was also interested to see what a book bound with “paper” looked like.

Wei Yi stepped out of the mansion, boarded the carriage, and went to the bookstore.

……

In addition to Li Si and Wei Yi, the other court officials in Xianyang City also wanted to see this Ye Ji Shu Shop.

The first bookstore ever.

They were curious.

What does a book store look like, and what does a “paper” book look like, is it really as light as those who read books say?

But for the sake of face.

They refused to show their faces.

So send the servants and want to buy books.

Their fate was similar to that of the Li Si servants, and they were all rejected.

“It’s just a little constant waiter, and he actually feels rejected!”

When they were rejected, they were extremely angry.

“Master, the one in the Prime Minister’s House has also been rejected.”

The servant informed.

These words made the imperial courtiers feel much more comfortable in their hearts.

Even that one was rejected, not to mention them.

But they still have a pimple in their hearts.

A former merchant, a guy who offered treasure to get a little constant attendant.

How dare he.

What about the books on the “paper” composite side?

Asking for it, let them itch in their hearts, like an invisible feather tickling them, wanting to get it but not getting it.

“Master, you can go to the bookstore in person, so that you can also see the books?”

The servant reminded.

The imperial court minister glared at the servant, “What do you know, that book is open in the city, what is my identity, what is that place, do you want me to go to that kind of commoner’s place?” ”

The servant was dumbfounded.

After a long time, the servant said, “Master, but the one from the Prime Minister’s Mansion can go in person.” ”

The courtier’s eyes widened.

“Why didn’t you say such important news earlier!”

“He went, then it is not a loss of face for me to go, prepare a car!” Hurry up and prepare your car! ”

Carriages carrying important court officials swarmed in the direction of Ye Jishu, and the wide roads became crowded with these carriages.

The civilians on the road retreated to both sides of the road, watching this battle curiously and talking about it.

“With so many nobles traveling, what happened?”

…..

The second floor of the restaurant.

Meng Tian heard that the bottom suddenly became noisy, and he turned his head to look down, only to see carriages passing by.

This carriage is unusually familiar.

“Isn’t this the carriage of the Wei family, the carriage of the Wang Bian’s family is also there, it is the carriage of the imperial master Feng Hao.”

“Where are they going?”

Meng Tian looked at the direction of their carriage departure, and four words appeared in his mind.

Ye Kee Shuhan.

Intuition told him that they were going there.

Meng Tian patted his butt and stood up, “Let’s go, let’s go and see.” ”

Walking out of the restaurant, the harsh sunlight rushed down, Meng Tian raised his hand to resist the sunlight and squinted.

“Ye Jishu, I want to see what this newly appointed Chang Lang has come up with.”

…..

There were carriages parked in front of Ye Jishu.

A group of court officials stood in the doorway, wide-eyed and small-eyed.

“You’re here too?”

“Aren’t you too?”

Li Si looked around, his face was indifferent, and the corner of his eyes touched Meng Tian and the others, and they looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that they all want to make a splash and see what this book shop looks like.

“Prime Minister, please.”

Meng Tian made a gesture of invitation.

Lees walked in, followed by the others.

The clerk was genuinely terrified.

The readers in the store did not expect that so many important court ministers would patronize this small bookstore.

Lees looked around the bookstore.

Inside the bookstore are rows of neat and orderly shelves filled with books on the so-called paper composite side, which are small and do not look heavy.

Outside the bookstore, there are rows of long tables and chairs for readers to sit and read books.

“It’s a novel and appropriate arrangement.”

Lees thought to himself.

Meng Tian and the others also saw such a novel layout and neat book shop for the first time, and their eyes lit up.

They went to the counter to pay the fee, entered the bookstore, and walked in the direction of the bookshelf.

Lees picked up one of the books.

Very light.

Very light.

It weighs less than one-tenth of Mu Jian.
