Bai Yitang was once disheartened after being arrested. If it weren't for the coincidence, he wouldn't accept apprentices, and Ling Tianmen would have been cut off in his hands.

As for the brothers and sisters who are still in the Central Plains, they only know Lingtianmen's kung fu, and they do not have the power of Lingtianmen. They don't even know the origin of Lingtianmen. Passing down the essence, so Lingtianmen is also considered extinct to a certain extent.

   But he accepted an apprentice and taught Li Baolu very well, but it was impossible for her to do stealing, and Bai Yitang would not force her.

  Ling Tianmen has always acted as he pleases, so he has no psychological burden on giving up his full-time job as the head of the previous dynasties. There is no need to clarify this matter. He doesn't want to go into the world again, and his apprentice is only practicing martial arts to protect the people he cares about. There is no need to declare these two points to the world. After all, it is your own day, and you will pass it by yourself.

But now someone has set up such a game against him, Bai Yitang is not stupid, he also thought of what Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu thought of, if he doesn't show up this time, they will find other ways to find him, and then force him to hand over the things. .

  Bai Yitang was never someone who let others bully him and didn't fight back. If Lingtianmen still had money, he might have to spend some time disposing of the money and then ask Qin Xinfang for help, but Lingtianmen had already run out of money.

  When the Yellow River burst its banks, he didn't want to get involved in these things, so he waved his hand and cleaned up the treasury of Lingtianmen. There weren't even a mouse in it, so he took the bus without any psychological pressure.

   As for the other thing that the Jianghu people seek - the military book!

  Bai Yitang laughed, he would print 108,000 copies by then, and if he wanted something, he could exchange it for something, whether it was a magic weapon or a classic.

  Jianghu people have a lot of things in their hands.

  Thinking that with the military book, you can go to the battlefield to form an army and become a general? Although he did not read much, he had heard of the allusions on paper.

   What's more, Zhao Kuo is familiar with the military book, and he can talk about it on paper. These Jianghu people who have headaches in recognizing words can really read the military book?

   He has lived next door to an educator for fifteen years. He knows that if there are good teachers and good books, students may not be able to learn it, just like they practice martial arts.

  The master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual. In those sects, the exercises are the same, and the masters are the same, but only one or two are outstanding. Even some people have taught one hundred and eighty disciples, but none of them can inherit the mantle.

Why?

  Because people are stupid!

   Talent is limited, and you can't learn the essence if you have a secret book, and the military book is naturally the same. Do you think that you can enter the officialdom and enter the upper class after getting the military book?

Bai Yitang went to the palace to find the emperor. First, it means that he has no money in Lingtianmen. Your court doesn't have to think about taking back the "dirty silver" from him when you hear the wind. The second is that they will not do this in Lingtianmen in the future. This kind of theft has been done, and Lingtianmen has basically been cut off in his generation. In the future, if someone steals corrupt officials, don’t put the crime on him again. Third, is there a king, the emperor, and someone in the world? You don't plan to take care of Wang Tu's troubles like this?

The    emperor was silent for a moment and asked, "How do you want me to manage?"

   Don't you Jianghu people like to solve grievances and grievances by yourself?

   "Your Majesty help me print some books, and then send someone to help me transport the books to Kaifeng Mansion. In exchange, I am willing to hand over the account books still kept in Lingtianmen to the imperial court."

  The emperor moved, but the historian who was kneeling on the side to record the emperor's words and deeds had raised his head and stared at the emperor.

  Emperor: ... Aiqing, please pay attention to your professional ethics. As a historian who records words and deeds along the way, shouldn't you minimize your sense of existence and only be a person who can listen and write?

How can    have his own subjective thoughts?

   The historian, who has always been devoted to his duties, couldn't help but stared at the emperor with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

  As a historian, the most craving is historical materials, especially such first-hand historical materials.

Although there are only a few words, historians have already speculated that Lingtianmen, a Jianghu sect, has always been committed to stealing the property of corrupt officials and then helping the people. Most of the property should be used for the victims of mass exile caused by natural and man-made disasters. These will be recorded in the account books. , what a magnificent and real historical material for their historians.

  Lingtianmen must have existed for a long time, which means that these can not only restore the history of the emperor's period, but also know about a longer period of time. For historians who are exploring the truth of history, this is equivalent to a delicious feast.

  The emperor naturally knew this, and people could use the ancients as a mirror to know the rise and fall. Lingtianmen were all in contact with corrupt officials and major disasters, and there were even more records.

   "Just printing books for you?"

  Bai Yitang nodded and smiled, "When the time comes, you can give your Majesty a set of books. Those are all military books in the Zhang family's collection, and many of them are unique."

The    emperor raised his mouth slightly, and asked, "Okay, I'll take you down. You can print as many books as you want, and you can hand over the book to the manager of the bookstore. I'll let him print it for you for free."

   "Not too many, 100,000 copies per volume, not enough for reprinting."

The    emperor was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he now recalled the previous sentence before it was too late.

Although movable type printing and papermaking have been developed, the cost of books is still very high. The price of one volume of "The Analects" is 320 texts. "It takes more than eight taels, and "Historical Records" is cheaper, only six taels.

But a family of five, working hard for a year with sufficient arable land, excluding the food needed for survival and the taxes paid, the annual surplus of food can be exchanged for two pieces of silver, which is probably not more than five taels, even a set of "Historical Records". ” can’t even afford it, which shows how expensive books are.

   That's why the folks only have the power of the whole family to support the rumors of a scholar, because the bundle is expensive, but the book is more expensive.

  Bai Yitang must have a lot of military books in his hands. It is said that at that time he moved half of the small study room and printed 100,000 copies. Even the Royal Bookstore would have to print them for several years.

  The emperor has lived through hard times, and he knows the essence of careful calculation. Although it is not easy to take back the holy figurine, he can bargain with Bai Yitang.

So the king of a country started a businessman's business with a hero of the rivers and lakes in the study room of Qinzheng Hall. The books that are handed in should be published at the same time, and they should be sorted out one by one, so that when the time comes, he doesn't need to bother to pick them up again.

Although the    emperor disapproved of this blatant occupation of the imperial labor force, he did not reject it.

  Bai Yitang left two boxes of account books and left. As for the other account books, they were still left in the warehouse of Lingtianmen in the middle of Shu. He turned around and fetched them for them.

   Qin Xinfang took Bai Yitang out of the palace, and after a long time he said, "You entered the palace to ask the emperor to print books for you for free?"

   Don't say it's to show that he wants to wash his hands in a golden basin. This kind of thing is enough for him to convey one sentence. Qin Xinfang thinks that he is here to print books.

  Who knew that Bai Yitang really nodded, he said in a loss: "The book is too expensive, I want to print so much, I can't beat it without tens of thousands of taels."

   He took out the money bag from his arms, opened it, poured out two pieces of silver and a handful of copper coins, looked at Qin Xinfang and said, "And this is all the money I can take out so far. How many books do you think it can print?"

   Qin Xinfang: "... Really poor!"

  Bai Yitang nodded in agreement, and said sadly, "Yeah, so I need Brother Qin to support me when I go to Kaifeng Mansion."

  yo, now I don't call him Lord Qin anymore, the address has become fast enough.

   Qin Xinfang asked after a long time, "If you don't steal or steal in the future, what will you do for a living?"

Bai Yitang leaned on the carriage relaxedly and said, "Isn't there my apprentice? I decided to take Baolu to the middle of Shu this time, and officially pass the Lingtianmen to her, and she will take care of me at that time. Our Lingtianmen The rules, the head abdicates, the first thing the new head must do is to buy 20 to 100 acres of fertile land and a shop for the abdicated head. There are not many things, but there is more than enough to support me. "

   Qin Xinfang was stunned, "Do you still have this rule in Lingtianmen?"

Bai Yitang nodded and said meaningfully: "We Lingtianmen have a lot of rules, I didn't even think about going out of Qiongzhou at first, and I didn't really want to pass on the mantle to Baolu, so I didn't have time to tell her many rules, just right, I will make up for it when I go to Shuzhong this time.”

   Qin Xinfang frowned slightly, "Are you going on the road alone? According to Baolu's letter, many people from all corners of the world are looking for you, in case something happens..."

   "Oh," Bai Yitang said indifferently: "I'll wait for the book to print a few sets before leaving, no hurry, no hurry."

  Bai Yitang squinted and sneered. If they wanted to invite Jun into the urn, it also depended on whether he was a gentleman willing to go in. Humph, just when he was a hot-blooded and irritable young man in his teens?

   Bai Yitang would never admit that he might have done such a thing a few years ago.

   Qin Xinfang saw the sneer on his face, and in his heart ordered a wax for the people in the rivers and lakes who were still holding a lively wedding banquet in Kaifeng Mansion, especially the owner of Zhengbao who spent a lot of money and held a big birthday banquet.

At the same time, Li Baolu was also mourning for Lord Zheng Bao. Today is Zheng Hao's birthday. Unfortunately, she and Gu Jingyun were enjoying the two-person world on the street and they ran into Chen Zhu head-on when they were shopping together. The only thing is that this little girl sneaked out alone. There was no way. Her father and brothers and sisters went to the birthday banquet. She was **** and locked in the house.

But she had expected that her father would do this to her, so she secretly hid a dagger under the bed board. As soon as the person left, she moved the chair and lifted the bed board with difficulty and twisted the rope to an unbelievable posture to escape. .

   But unfortunately, this girl had an invitation card in her hand, and she warmly invited Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun to attend the birthday banquet in Zhengjiabao with her.

   Of course, the invitations are fake.

She bought it for twenty taels, but the counterfeiting skills are superb, Chen Zhu patted her chest and assured: "I have compared the invitations with my father's, and they are exactly the same, and the people in Zhengjiabao will definitely not find out. Chunxi, Didn't you run away from home just because you wanted to see the rivers and lakes? This is a rare opportunity, and it would be a pity not to go. When you are caught by your family, it will be difficult to think about it later. "

  Li Baolu: ...Can I refuse? Actually, I don't want to join in the fun.

   She really didn't want to go, because she was afraid of death, so many people from all corners of the world gathered together, what if there was a disagreement and a fight happened?

   She was racking her brains thinking about how to refuse, Gu Jingyun had already nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

  Li Baolu looked up at him, he smiled at Li Baolu, touched her head and said, "But you have to disguise a little or two, or it will be bad if you are recognized by acquaintances."
