The next day, Shenxianju Courtyard No. 1.

Pei Shaoqing invited Wei Chengqing, Liu Sili and Pei Feishu Xiaoju.

No. 1 courtyard did not build a Yu Pavilion, so I could only use ice to cool off.

But even though some servants kept sending ice into the attic, they still felt stuffy.

"This ghost weather is so hot." Wei Chengqing couldn't help but complain, "In previous years, the weather turned colder in August, but this year it seemed to be even hotter than June. It's really a ghost."

“There are so many hell this year.”

Liu Sili said: "There was a hail in Luoyang a few days ago, which was bigger than an egg!"

Wei Chengqing said, "Hey, are you saying that God is warning us something?"

"Brother Wei is careful." Pei Shaoqing said, "How can we speculate on the affairs of heaven?"

"Yes, we care about what we do." Liu Sili said, "We just need to be a job and enjoy life directly. This is enough. Don't ask about anything else."

"It's easy to say." Wei Chengqing sighed, "It's impossible."

Speaking of this, he said to Pei Shaoqing again: "Brother Pei, what's going on with you?"

"What's going on?" Pei Shaoqing said, "You are so irrelevant, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Pretending, pretending to me?" Wei Chengqing said, "Even though I know that I am talking about the classics, history, and collections, you don't really plan to publish 5,000 sets at a price of 200 coins, right?"

"Then what can I do?"

Pei Shaoqing said with a bitter face: "The Empress Dowager has spoken, how dare I not listen?"

"Then you must not compensate you?" Wei Chengqing frowned, "You must pay at least one million yuan, right?"

"I won't say it just now. This is what the Empress Dowager said. Not to mention one million coins, I will have to pay even ten million coins." Pei Shaoqing sighed and said again, "Otherwise, my life will be unsafe."

"It's so serious." Wei Chengqing said, "The Empress Dowager is very loyal to you."

Liu Sili asked: "Brother Pei, tell the truth, how much does it cost to publish a set of classics, history, and texts?"

"I've told you a long time ago, at least 400 guan!" Pei Shaoqing said, "I'm not lucky. For example, if there is any mistake when printing this page, I may not be able to beat the 500 guan."

Talking about people and talking about ghosts is the basic quality of working in the workplace.

With Wei Chengqing and Liu Sili, I am a dog meat friend, and I can’t have a truth.

Let’s not be reserved with Liu Yizhi, Di Renjie and others, but treat others with sincerity.

In front of Wu Zetian, you must be a financial fan, making money is the only hobby.

"Brother Pei, you have made us suffer." Wei Chengqing smiled bitterly, "This time the aristocratic family alliance led by Pei is arguing with Mr. Liu."

"In order to intercept these five thousand sets of classics, history, and texts,"

"The Family Alliance raised five million yuan!"

"Webster has divided up to 400,000 guan, so our family has 20,000 guan!"

"This really killed our family. How could our family pay so much for 20,000 yuan?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "Twenty thousand coins are not a piece of cake for your family? Now it is not as good as before. Gold and silver were not allowed to be circulated, but now it can be used."

Pei Feishu said: "That's right, 20,000 jin of gold is not just over 100 kilograms of gold?"

"Pei Shaofu has said it." Wei Chengqing waved his hand, "Our family really can't afford more than 100 kilograms of gold. We have to piece together to get the money together."

"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

Liu Sili said: "We'll play mahjong."

"Play mahjong?" Wei Chengqing said, "then this time I can only play ten taels of bottom."

"Okay, just ten taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10 ta

While washing the cards, Pei Feishu suddenly said, "Hey, have you heard that General Pei is seriously ill?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Shaoqing was just a reshuffle. Is it just a serious illness? It seems to be just a warning.

Wei Chengqing also said, "No way? Yesterday I saw General Pei in the imperial city. He looked very tough. Why did he suddenly get seriously ill?"

"What's there?"

Liu Sili said: "General Pei is in his sixties, and he is in his twilight years."

"That's right." Wei Chengqing sighed, "So, this is the most boring and unworthy person. Maybe one day you will never get up again if you lie down, and then you will pass. No matter how much money you have, how beautiful your wives and concubines are, how filial your children and grandchildren are? You can't take anything away? Being a human is really a waste."

...

In the blink of an eye, another half month was coming.

Time is coming early September.

Pei Yan got out and went home, and called Pei Zhong to the study.

"How is it?" Pei Yan said in a deep voice, "Is there a reply from the Maitreya Cult?"

"Not yet." Pei Zhong shook his head, "I guess there is no progress."

Pei Yan asked, "Have you tried all the methods I told you?"

"Everything has been tried." Pei Zhong nodded, "I tried all seductive, temptation and coercion, but the result was not only failed, but it led to cruel revenge from the Cao Gang."

"It's not OK to set fire."

"The undercover agent of the Maitreya Cult can't get in at all."

"The defense of the guard and capture department is so tight?" Pei Yan frowned, "Is there really no loophole left?"

Pei Zhong said: "As the saying goes, don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The defense of the guard and capture department is so tight that it shows that there is an unspeakable act."

"Alang, your speculation should be true."

"This matter is probably a trap."

"A trap carefully designed by Pei Shaoqing."

"The purpose is to deceive our money."

"This dog thing!" Pei Yan said hatefully, "It's really a sight to money."

Pei Zhong asked again: "So we still have to buy classics, history, and collections this time?"

"Buy or buy." Pei Yan sighed and said, "Can you not buy it?"

"Yes, it's really not OK to buy it." Pei Zhong also sighed, "If these five thousand sets of classics, history and literature are really put into Liu Rengui's hands and given to the Imperial College and the state schools of each state for free, it will be a big trouble."

Pei Yan said: "I'm looking for Pei Feishu, and he is the only one who can talk to Pei Shaoqing."

Pei Zhong crossed his hands and said, "Here."

...

That night, the heads of aristocratic families gathered in Pei Mansion again.

"Please be calm." Pei Zhong signaled the heads of the family to Anjing, and said, "Pei Shaofu has gone to the guard and capture department to find Pei Shaoqing. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem."

"But don't think it's cheap."

"Pei Shaoqing is just a money fan."

"So, each company should pay according to the agreed share."

The entire West Flower Hall fell into silence in an instant, and everyone was silent.

This is a total of five million coins, a number that can scare people when you say it.

Even if it is divided into each surname, it is a huge number, and it cannot be collected by just saying that it can be collected.

So some people have a strange mind, thinking of making other families spend more money and their own families spend less. When encountering such a thing, it is impossible to work together.

Pei Yan naturally had expected this.

Pei Yan snorted coldly and said, "I know it is difficult to get each surname to pay such a large sum of money, but have you ever thought about it? What would happen if you didn't pay this money?"

"If everyone refuses to pay the money,"

"Then these five thousand sets of classics, history, and sub-collections will definitely fall into the hands of poor children."

"Then within five years, the amount of relief for poor families will increase to the real 60%, and the amount of relief for aristocratic families will drop to 40%!"

"This is just a relief."

"The proportion of the exam is probably even more terrible!"

"And now, the officialdom is proud of being a Jinshi."

"So it's not difficult to imagine that for up to twenty years, even the prime ministers in the political affairs hall were from poor families."

"At that time, do you still think that the children of aristocratic families will have a chance to make a comeback? Stop dreaming!"

"I don't force you, but I'll say ugly things ahead. No matter who doesn't pay for it, no matter who's children, I, Pei Yan, will never have a day to stand out!"

Seeing this, more than a dozen aristocratic heads immediately expressed their willingness to pay.

The expression on Pei Yan's face also eased.
