I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 37 Don't embarrass your husband! (three more)

Now that it's time to get off work, let's get out.

Wei Changtian was not conscious of working overtime, and even if he worked overtime, he would have nothing to do.

His original plan was to follow others to do one or two missions, and then slowly use Liu Ye's help to kill those monsters who should have died under Xiao Feng's sword.

But now it seems that I don't know when I will be on duty for the first time.

Forget it, let it be.

Back to Wei Mansion in a carriage, Li Yang came on time after dinner.

And as soon as he came, he started to play cards.

After finally persuading him to enter the study, Wei Changtian looked at Lu Jingyao who was about to go back to the room, and said suddenly:

"You come too."

"what?"

Lu Jingyao turned her head and looked around, as if she was looking for the third person who didn't exist at all.

Wasn't this woman very smart before, why has she become more and more stupid recently?

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes, and said again: "Don't look for it, it's you."

"Whoa whoa."

Lu Jingyao blushed, and then she took two quick steps and followed into the study.

Wei Changtian turned around to close the door, and when Li Yang saw Lu Jingyao coming in, he said hello casually.

"Little sister."

He took Wei Changtian as a Dage, and Lu Jingyao was younger than him and was a concubine, so it was no problem calling her sister-in-law.

But Lu Jingyao's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Li, Mr. Li."

The two looked at each other without speaking.

Li Yang: This Lu Jingyao is beautiful, but she stutters, so she can be a concubine for Dage.

Lu Jingyao: She's actually called sister-in-law! Oops, what should I do?

"Brother Li, why are you standing still? Sit down."

Wei Changtian, who had just walked over, looked at the two of them, a little puzzled.

"it is good."

Li Yang promised to sit down facing Wei Changtian, while Lu Jingyao next to him was hesitant, neither standing nor sitting.

"No, what are you doing here?"

Wei Changtian reminded angrily, "Pour some tea!"

"Oh, oh oh."

As if waking up from a dream, Lu Jingyao quickly picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, but perhaps because she was too flustered, she accidentally spilled a few drops of tea with a shake of her hand.

Li Yang shook his head secretly, and Wei Changtian glanced at Lu Jingyao who was standing aside stupidly, and could only helplessly direct again:

"You can sit now."

"..."

Fortunately, Lu Jingyao was not so nervous that she forgot the skill of "sit", she finally bit her lip and successfully sat beside Wei Changtian.

"Then what, brother Li, I came to you today to discuss something with you."

Wei Changtian wasn't in the mood to deal with those foolish people right now, so he cut to the chase and said, "I'm going to open a bookstore."

"Open a bookstore?"

Li Yang was very surprised.

He actually is not surprised why Wei Changtian suddenly wants to do business, but does not understand why he chose to open a bookstore.

This should be the most difficult job to do.

There is a book printing bureau under the Ministry of Rites, which basically monopolizes 80% of the books and periodicals on the market.

As for the privately run bookstores...they can't print officially protected books, and they manage to find one or two good books, but they are often pirated as soon as they come out.

Pirated books are much cheaper because they don’t need to pay the author a share. These days, there is no awareness of copyright protection, and the result of bad money driving out good money is formed.

"Brother Wei, how can bookstores make money like this?"

Li Yang thought that Wei Changtian didn't understand the link, so he hurriedly used a counterexample to persuade him: "Didn't the poet Su Wu also run a bookstore a few years ago? In the end, it didn't end in a mess."

"If you really want to do some business, I think it's better to open an escort agency..."

Don't think that Li Yang can't do anything else, but when it comes to doing business, he's well-versed.

That's why I'm looking for him today.

After patiently listening to Li Yang finish speaking, Wei Changtian took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "Brother Li, I understand what you said, but I have my own plan, and I will talk to you in detail later."

"As for whether the bookstore can make money, it depends on who does it."

"Some people may be able to do it...for example, Brother Li."

"Me?" Li Yang was taken aback.

"That's right."

Wei Changtian nodded: "Your father is the Minister of Dali Temple..."

"Brother Wei, my father is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Li Yang reminded.

"Cough, soon the less words will be gone."

Wei Changtian noticed the slip of the tongue, coughed dryly to fool him, and continued under Li Yang's puzzled eyes, "Even if your father is still Shaoqing, it is enough to deter most book pirates."

"Plus Xuan Jing Division killed a few blind people... Do you think there will be people who would dare to steal our books?"

"This……"

Li Yang was not stupid, and soon understood what Wei Changtian meant.

"Brother Wei, do you want me to open this bookstore on your behalf? But wouldn't it be better for you to come forward directly? Xuanjing Division is much more bluffing than Dali Temple."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "Most of the people who buy books are scholars who consider themselves noble, and my reputation..."

"I see!"

Li Yang understood immediately, but he still had a question: "But even if no one dares to steal our books, they must have books that can be sold."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, you are only responsible for printing and selling books."

Wei Changtian glanced at Lu Jingyao who hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, and said with a smile, "As for where the book comes from, Yao'er will help you."

"what?"

Lu Jingyao was taken aback when she heard that she was suddenly cueed, but she also knew that Wei Changtian was referring to the book "Journey to the West".

Taking a steady breath, she made up her mind not to embarrass Wei Changtian anymore.

"Young Master Li."

"Xianggong is right, this matter can indeed be taken care of by me, just rest assured."

"Is it……"

Why isn't sister-in-law stuttering anymore?

Li Yang was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, and nodded after thinking about it.

"Brother Wei, since this is the case, it is feasible to open a bookstore!"

"it is good!"

Wei Changtian clapped his hands in satisfaction, and then he and Li Yang replaced the wine with tea and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Although Lu Jingyao on the side did not clink glasses with the two, she also raised the teacup happily.

But before she could drink it, Wei Changtian unloaded the grinder and killed the donkey and said, "Okay, it's none of your business here, you can go."

"Oh yes, go and call Wang Er."

Lu Jingyao: "..."

...

After all, the tea was not drunk.

Lu Jingyao left angrily, but at least she didn't forget Wei Changtian's instructions, and Wang Er came in after a while.

"Master, Mr. Li."

"Well, sit down."

Wei Changtian pointed to the empty seat, and after Wang Er sat down, he looked at Li Yang with a puzzled face: "Brother Li, I'm telling you the truth now."

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I make money from opening a bookstore, or it's just a cover."

"What I really wanted to do was something else."

"If you still want to help me, you can stay. If you don't, it doesn't matter. I don't blame you."

"But I want to make it clear to you in advance..."

"This matter may lose its head."

Thank you readers for voting! The screenshot has been sent, but the goddess has not responded yet, I will report the battle situation tomorrow!
