"Do you have this ability?" Zhao Yuanzuo asked in disbelief.

Guan Wei laughed and said, "Your Highness, as long as you do the world, there is a way. Now it depends on whether the official supports it or not. As long as the Great Wall in the north is completed, the threat to us by the Liao Kingdom greatly reduced, and they will be forced to stop and negotiate, and we can talk to them about this issue of trading."

Guan Wei is still sure of this kind of trade. In fact, in history, the Central Plains has always been the object of envy and learning from the surrounding countries. Han Delang, the Liao Kingdom, was a Han Chinese and always advocated the importance of Han Chinese. Even Yelu Xizhen and Yelu Xiuge also supported this decision and agreed to reconcile with the Song Dynasty.

"You have convinced me!" Zhao Yuanzuo drank a cup of tea and said, "Get a jar of dilute and nectar, I'll go to the official family to talk about it first in the evening.

By the way, Guan Wei, I am very interested in the ability to reduce the price of books you said. If this can be done, it will be a great thing that will last forever."

Guan Wei smiled and said, "Does Your Highness know why our books are expensive now?"

"The carved version is too troublesome! One page has hundreds of words, one wrong, or even one stroke can cause the version to be scrapped. The version is also worn and needs to be replaced after a period of time. This is a big trouble, so it is difficult to reduce the price of books."

"If Your Highness said he didn't have to consider the carved plate, what would his price be?"

"Of course it will drop significantly... You mean, you can do without the carvings, how is that possible?"

"Of course not to use the version, but we can think of other ways! Your Highness, for example, this table is a version, and these cups are the characters on it. Why do we need to carve a version? Just like this cup, carve it into a character, and then combine it according to different contents. If that character is broken, change that character."

Zhao Yuanzuo stared at the table for a long time, then slapped his head and said, "Why can't we even think of it when we see things so simply?"

Guan Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is not technical at all. Anyone can imitate it, so please be sure to keep it confidential!"

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded constantly and said, "I understand this. I will discuss it with the government and find a proper solution.

Look at what we have said for so long, it’s late, I’ll ask someone to prepare the meal, you’ll leave after you have dinner!”

"It is my glory to give the feast to you. Then I will be more respectful than obedient."

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, "Why can't I see how grateful you are? By the way, has your edict been issued?"

"No, I haven't received a notice from the Ministry of Personnel."

"This group of people is really procrastinating to do things. Your resume is the simplest, and it is specially introduced by the official! I really don't know what they are doing? I'll go find someone to ask tomorrow."

"I'm not in a hurry. The procedure that should be gone is still there! By the way, Your Highness, do you know someone named Hou Mochen Yi?"

Zhao Yuanzuo was stunned and said, "What? Do you know this shameless villain?"

When Guan Wei heard Zhao Yuanzuo's tone, he knew that he was deeply influenced by those literati and had already hated Hou Mochen to the core.

"What is your highness going to do with this Hou Mochen?"

"I have ordered people to collect evidence of his crime. Such a villain who harms the country and the people must have killed his head to relieve my hatred."

Guan Wei frowned and said, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about what Your Majesty will think?"

"Official family? I am also doing this for the country and eliminating harm to the people. I think my father will definitely understand!"

"Yes! What Your Highness said makes sense, but the official family is the guard of Tianmu, and the whole world is his. What if he thinks that Hou Mochen will not kill him if he doesn't want to kill him?"

"Zizheng, I found out why you are afraid of wolves and tigers in front of you? Where did you go for the courage to forge an edict? If the official does not agree, I will continue to give advice until the official agrees."

Guan Wei frowned and said, "Your Highness is going to coerce the official?"

"If it is for the country and the country, it is not impossible to coerce. What? Doesn't Zizheng know this person? Do you want to have a love for him?"

"I caught one of his apprentices. This guy stole money and stole it on my head and was caught by me. So I heard Chen Zai talk about this guy in Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhao Yuanzuo's face improved a little, and said, "Zi Zheng doesn't have to feel sorry for such a person. The crime he committed is worthy of death."

"I believe this, but he is loyal in the eyes of the officials. As long as there is this, the officials will not kill him.

I also know this guy deserves to die, but why do we have to risk offending the government and deal with a villain, which is not worth the loss! We can expose his true face and let the government know that his loyalty is selfish. Wouldn't it be better to let the government kill him?"

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded unstoppably and said, "Zi Zheng's words are just right! But this guy is very good at disguising, how should we expose him?"

"What did he rely on to confuse the official family? Pills! This guy is a doctor from Shu. He understood some medical skills and luckily cured His Majesty's sores, so he used a set of elixirs to gain the trust of the official family.

As long as we prove that the elixir is false, it will not only not live forever, but will also hurt Your Majesty. Will Your Majesty still believe him? I’m afraid that if we don’t have to do it, Your Majesty will take his life.”

"Oh! Is there any evidence for Zizheng?" Zhao Yuanzuo nodded slightly.

"I also want to check something. Please give me a few days. Don't touch Hou Mo Chen to use it in the next few days. Wait until my evidence is conclusive, and then take him down in one fell swoop."

"Then let this old boy be in a rampant for a few days!" Zhao Yuanzuo also had another advantage, which was that he listened to someone's advice. After hearing Guan Wei's words, he nodded and said, "Okay! Just wait for Guan Wei's good news.

Okay, the meal is ready, let’s discuss it carefully. I will go to the palace tonight and tell Your Majesty what you told me, so I will forget what I have to do.”

Guan Wei agreed, and the two of them ate and talked. After dinner, they said goodbye. Guan Wei returned to the inn, while Zhao Yuanzuo hurried to the palace.

The next day, Guan Wei and Chang Jin got up and did not go to the Yang family. The two of them walked around the city for a few times, bought some things, and went straight to Panlou for the banquet at noon.

Today is Zhao Yuanzuo's treat, and Yang Yanzhao, Fan Yanzhao, Cao Wei and others are all coming. Guan Wei and his family are the youngest at their age, so of course they can't wait for a long time, and they will arrive early.

It took not long before Cao Wei came to the appointment first. Cao Wei is still a child now, but Guan Wei attaches great importance to this future war god and introduced him to Zhao Yuanzuo early.

"Baochen, you came early." Guan Wei brought Chang Jin out.

"Brother Guan is earlier!" Cao Wei said as he said, "Brother Guan, who is this brave man?"

"This is Chang Jin, a friend I met in Anshun Army. This time I went to the capital for the examination and became the county magistrate of Anshun Army Yichuan County."

"So it's Brother Chang!" Cao Wei bowed his fists and bowed to him to pay homage.

"Chang Jin, this is the fourth son of Duke Cao, Cao Wei."

Chang Jin was so open that he had seen him. His Highness had seen him, but he was still afraid of a Duke? So he also bowed his fists and bowed, "Gourmet to Cao Yanei!"

"Haha, everyone has arrived, I'm late!" With a burst of laughter, Fan Yanzhao walked in with big steps.

"You are all commanders and you are polite!" Guan Wei and others stood up to greet him, and then introduced him to Chang Jin, and the few of them sat down again.

After Fan Yanzhao sat down, he said to Guan Wei: "Guan Wei, you have the best relationship with Your Highness. Can you help me and let me go back to the army?"

"What's wrong? Brother, the commander of the four-box office is in a high position and is in the capital with the king. What a beautiful woman, why are you thinking about going out?"

"What a beauty? I, Lao Fan, is a rude person. I used to kill people and become a robber, and I like the life of rough people in the army. I stayed here for more than half a year and was controlled everywhere, especially those literati, who always cause trouble for me.

No matter what I did, I felt uncomfortable all over. We could bear this kind of sin. Look, tell your Highness and let him transfer me to Hebei, even if it is a small pawn!”

Guan Wei saw that Fan Yanzhao's hair was much whiter than before, and knew that his life was not satisfactory, so he sighed and said, "Brother, don't say such disgusting words. If you are a general in the army, wouldn't it be a small soldier?

I heard that you have a good relationship with General Li Jilong, why not ask him for you?"

"I have heard of it under General Li and have some relationship with the general, but he has been taken to the Secretariat to wait for investigation now, and he is no longer able to protect himself, so I'm afraid he won't care about me!"

Guan Wei and Cao Wei laughed and said, "Don't worry about this! This is not the fault of Li Jilong. He is the most trusted general of the government. As long as he explains the situation at that time, he will definitely be reused.

Now is the time for him to lose power, and it is time for you to go now. If someone is really entrusted with important tasks, it will be difficult to speak."

After hearing this, Fan Yanzhao nodded slightly and said, "Accept the teachings! If I can get my wish this time, I will definitely be rewarded!"

"Don't be polite, drink tea! Drink tea!"

Several people were just talking about Zhao Yuanzuo bringing people in, and everyone quickly stood up to greet him. Zhao Yuanzuo waved his hand and sat inside, and everyone sat around.

"Why haven't Yang Yanzhao come yet?" Zhao Yuanzuo was slightly stunned when he saw that everyone had arrived.

"Mr. Ling, the old man, came back yesterday. Did he be unable to escape from his family for a while?"
