my brother-in-law is the prince
Chapter 103
Chapter 103
After hearing Jin's words, Zhu Di said, "You guys have worked hard this time."
Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Yang Rong, and Hu Yan said in unison: "I dare not thank you."
Zhu Di nodded: "I heard that there are a lot of talents from Jiangxi participating in the imperial examination..."
He asked casually, in fact, Zhu Di was a little bit afraid of this, just like the original Taizu Emperor Gao.
Xie Jin seemed to understand the emperor's thoughts, but he was the chief minister of the cabinet, and at the same time, to him, he was also a scholar leader, not to mention that he was from Jiangxi.
Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, as long as the imperial examinations are fair, I secretly think that it is enough to compare their talents and studies. As for the students' native places, I think this is not something that should be concerned."
As soon as this remark came out, although Zhu Di was calm on the face, he felt disgusted in his heart.
He looked at Zhu Gaochi, and said lightly: "Does the prince think so too?"
After Zhu Gaochi heard this, his heart trembled. Xie Jin's answer made sense, at least Zhu Gaochi quite agreed with it, but... Regarding this matter, Emperor Taizu Gao once criticized it.
That is to say, from the perspective of the ancestral system, this is something that should not be said. How can a grandson object to his grandfather?
What's more, the father started from Jing Nan, and the first crime he criticized Jianwen at the beginning was that his knowledge did not follow the ancestral system.
So Zhu Gaochi said vaguely: "My son... I think it makes sense."
Zhu Di was displeased, but still had a sullen face and didn't make a sound.
Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "My father and my sons and ministers disagree. The original intention of Emperor Taizu Gao to set up the imperial examination was to recruit scholars from all over the world and use them for the court. Could it be that my Ming Dynasty only recruits scholars from Jiangxi?"
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, but didn't speak.
Seeing his father's ambiguity, Zhu Gaoxu was a little discouraged, and said again: "I just think... the law of the ancestors cannot be violated. If there are scholars from Jiangxi in the court and the field, the foundation of the country will be shaken."
Zhu Di put his hand on the copybook, still speechless.
The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhu Di nervously.
At this time, no one knew what Zhu Di was thinking.
Amidst this apprehension, finally a eunuch came in panting, and said, "Your Majesty... the list is here."
Zhu Di closed his eyes slightly when he heard the words: "Take it up."
Everyone's hearts were raised.
Especially Zhu Gaochi, he knew very well that if...the Jiangxi people admitted by Xie Jin and others...are all at the top of the list, not only the scholars will make a fuss, but even the emperor will think that he is not good at doing things.
Although for Zhu Gaochi, the only thing he can do is to put an end to the fraud in the imperial examination and take measures to let the candidates take this exam well, the rest is actually beyond his control.
Yi Shiha went to pick up the list, and immediately placed the red papers in front of Zhu Di's imperial case.
Zhu Di only glanced at the past, he didn't care about the list listed later.
Only look forward from No.10.
Zhang Xi...from Yichun, Jiangxi.
Huang Jianzheng...is from Suzhou.
On the side of the Tribute Court, the examinee's hometown was very considerately attached.
Zhu Di showed impatience and continued to look up.
Yang Xiang...from Taihe, Jiangxi.
Zhou Mengqi...from Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
Zhou Shu...from Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
Zeng Qi...a native of Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
When his gaze fell here, a cold look flashed across Zhu Di's face.
There seemed to be a gleam in the eyes.
For a split second, Zhu Di's gaze was fixed on the first name.
Gu Xingzu... a native of Daxing County, North Zhili.
Zhu Di's expression suddenly became strange.
He stared at the name Gu Xingzu, feeling a little familiar.
When Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Di's murderous aura just now, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he subconsciously glanced at Xie Jin and the others.
Xie Jin looked calm and relaxed. In his opinion, what he did was right. People in the royal family didn't understand the affairs of scholars. There is nothing to blame for him to use his talents for the country.
As for Emperor Taizu Gao...hehe.
Zhu Di's gaze became more and more strange, and he suddenly asked, "Who is Gu Xingzu?"
Many people in the hall were ignorant.
Only Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be the grandson of Zhenyuan Hou Gu Cheng."
Yi Shiha was able to become the emperor's confidant, and he also had a few tricks. He may not have much knowledge, but he knows all the names and surnames in the capital, so that the emperor can ask him at any time.
Zhu Di finally remembered, and couldn't help but wondered: "Is that Zhang Anshi's disciple?"
Yishiha said: "He is indeed studying in the Zhengyi Hall of Guozixue. His Majesty appointed Zhang Anshi as a doctor, and he is also teaching in the Zhengyi Hall."
Zhu Di was dumbfounded at first, the murderous aura just now disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty..." Speaking of Zhang Anshi, Xie Jin didn't know what to say or not.
Zhu Di looked up at Xie Jin: "Say."
Xie Jindao: "I actually think...it is quite inappropriate to let Zhang Anshi teach Guozixue. After all, Zhang Anshi is the successor of the minister...and a relative..."
Guozixue is a holy place, and the descendants of Wufu should not be allowed to teach.
This is also the purpose of Xie Jin et al.
Hu Yan felt ashamed when he heard this, but in fact he knew that these words should be said by him.
Zhu Di gave Xie Jin a weird look, and said, "Really?"
After these two words, Zhu Di fell silent.
Seeing that His Majesty was silent, Xie Jin said again: "This is just my humble opinion. I just think that the country should choose its talents and talents when employing people..."
Zhu Di said: "I know."
Zhu Di said he knew, but looked down at the list suspiciously.
The impressive "Gu Xingzu" is still there.
Zhu Di couldn't help saying silently in his heart: "Gu Cheng is a lucky person."
Then, Zhu Di looked up at Xie Jin: "Did you just talk about selecting talents and using talents?"
"Yes." Xie Jin bit the bullet and said: "The imperial court divides civil and military duties, civil and military divisions, and generals have different ways. I think... Zhang Anshi may not be suitable for this position. Why doesn't your majesty order him to be in the army..."
Zhu Di nodded, but said, "What is the doctor's job?"
Xie Jin said: "The doctor's duty is naturally... to teach and solve doubts."
"How can you be considered a doctor?"
"Of course peaches and plums are everywhere."
Zhu Di nodded again, and continued to ask: "Then, is Xie Qing's family full of peaches and plums?"
Xie Jin hurriedly said: "Chen...I'm so ashamed...Chen..."
Zhu Di said with emotion: "Do you know who is the first Huiyuan in this exam?"
Xie Jin said: "I...don't know."
Zhu Di sighed, "It's Gu Xingzu..."
As soon as the name came out, the hall fell silent.
But the cautious Zhu Gaochi almost jumped up: "Father, is that Gu Xingzu who the son of the country studied?"
"This... this..." Xie Jin was a little confused.
Zhu Di said: "Why, Xie Qing's family seems to have doubts?"
"Chen... Chen... Do you think... could you make a mistake?" Xie Jin seemed to be unable to accept it for a while.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Even if it was a mistake, it was also made by Xie Qing's family. You are the chief examiner, and you were the one who presided over the exam that day, and you will be the one who grades the papers after that, and you are also the member who was circled by Xie Qing's family. If there is a mistake, then the chief examiner is really unfair, I am afraid that I will be the first to destroy the three clans of Jieqing's family."
I have to say that Zhu Di uttered the most ruthless words in the most gentle words.
After hearing this, Xie Jin was terrified. He had no excuses at this time, so he prostrated himself and said: "The minister has no form, the king is disrespectful, and he will die."
It was Zhu Di, who really felt that a big rock that he had been carrying in his heart suddenly fell to the ground at this time, and couldn't help but said emotionally: "Huiyuan is actually from Beizhili, so...the scholars should not make trouble, it can be regarded as blocking the people of the world." Yoyo's mouth."
Immediately, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, and said with admiring eyes: "Prince, presiding over the imperial examination these days is really hard work. I heard that you have worked hard for this, and you have lost a lot of weight."
There was already a warm current in Zhu Gaochi's heart. Of course, he was full of doubts now, Gu Xingzu...that guy...how did he become Huiyuan?
He couldn't figure it out.
In fact, everyone present here is also puzzled and shocked.
So that everyone was speechless.
Zhu Gaochi said: "The sons and ministers can share the worries of the father and the emperor, and do the filial piety of a son and the loyalty of a minister.
After all, Zhu Gaochi kowtowed.
Zhu Di is really happy now, he laughed badly and said: "Interesting, interesting, today's incident is especially interesting, you see... this Gu Xingzu... really did not insult his ancestors, and his mentor Zhang Anshi, this doctor is very Competent, that's no wonder, no wonder..."
As he said that, Zhu Di looked at Hu Yan.
Hu Yan dodged and began to move quietly behind the tall Yang Rong.
Zhu Di's eyes caught up again.
Hu Yan couldn't avoid it.
"Hu Yanqing's house." Zhu Di said with a smile.
Hu Yan was shocked, but also a little anxious to leave the class: "The minister is here."
"The Hu Qing family's eyes are bright, and they have worked hard. If the Hu Qing family hadn't recommended Zhang Anshi, I would have never expected that Zhang Anshi would be so well educated. In the past, I was skeptical, but now I know the good intentions of the Hu Qing family."
Hu Yan: "..."
"Why doesn't Hu Qing's family say anything?"
"I... feel ashamed."
Zhu Di smiled: "It's not Hu Qing who should be ashamed, but some blind people. Everyone says that Zhang Anshi is not suitable for this doctor, and only Hu Qing's family strongly recommends it. If Hu Qing's family is ashamed, then how can this man of civil and military affairs be ashamed?" Stop being ashamed?"
Hu Yan: "..."
Zhu Di was overjoyed again and said: "Thanks to Gu Xingzu's fighting spirit this time, scholars who want to come to the world will no longer complain. Of course... Zhang Anshi also contributed a lot. Gu Xingzu is Huiyuan, so Zhang Anshi is a famous teacher, a famous teacher. Get out of high school!"
Now that this is the case, many people feel very uncomfortable, but what else can they say?I can only follow the emperor's words: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di cheerfully said: "The things that Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't solve, that kid Jianwen... was even more confused about how to handle this matter, but when I ascended the throne, it will be easy, and it will inspire the world's scholars, haha, I rule the world with literature... ...the effect is beginning to show."
This is actually very shameless, he is clearly a martial artist, but he calls it martial arts.
Of course, in fact, this is also a daily operation, so what is missing is what to make up for!Historically, Zhu Di's posthumous title was Emperor Wen.
Finally, the ministers dispersed.
Xie Jin and the others still looked astonished, and went all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion. Xie Jin couldn't help but said: "That paper with amazing grammar is actually Gu Xingzu's?"
Hu Guang was also very surprised: "I really didn't expect that Gu Cheng, the grandson, could make such an article."
Yang Rong was behind, silent for a long time.
Obviously, Xie Jin was very unhappy at this time. Although the scholars in Jishui County have already occupied No.2 to No.4 this time, there are especially many candidates who have been on the list since then. I dare not say that they occupy half, but at least ten of them One or two is still there.
Twelve out of ten is a very scary concept, after all, Jishui is only a county.
It would be even more terrifying if the entire Jiangxi list was included.
But Xie Jin still regrets that Huiyuan is not Zeng Dian, Zhou Shu, and Zhou Mengqi who he likes.
"My lords... my lords..."
Behind him, Hu Yan hurried to catch up.
Upon hearing his voice, Xie Jin quickened his pace.
Hu Guang and Yang Rong looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled wryly, but stopped.
Hu Yan caught up panting, but saw that Jin had gone far away, with a face of regret, then looked at Hu Guang and Yang Rong, bowed and saluted: "Hey... hey... misunderstanding, big misunderstanding, back then... "
Before Hu Yan finished speaking, Hu Guang smiled slightly: "Mr. Hu Yan doesn't have to be like this."
"It doesn't explain it, wouldn't I...haven't I become a flatterer?" Hu Yan said with a wry smile.
Yang Rongdao: "How many things in the world can be explained clearly?"
Hu Yan showed regret again. In fact, he wanted to explain to Xie Jin that on the one hand, Xie Jin was a scholar of the Shoufu University, but on the other hand, Xie Jin had the deepest friendship with him at the beginning.
But now seeing that Xie Jin heard his call, but ignored it, and even walked away, there was nothing but helplessness in his heart.
He lowered his head and said, "I might not be able to explain clearly in a while, why don't you turn around and invite Ergong to come to my house together, and we will warm a pot of old wine and talk in detail as before."
Hu Guang said with a smile: "I'm willing to chatter, I'm afraid Xiegong will..."
Yang Rong said: "Mr. Hu Yan, as long as you have a clear heart, why should you be afraid of others' words? Besides, I think Zhang Anshi is really a wonderful person. We can't judge people by their appearance. Look, isn't he a doctor who is very qualified? What is there to criticize?" Woolen cloth?"
Hu Yan: "..."
Hu Yan had no choice but to wave his hands: "Be taught."
After all, he left in dismay.
…………
On the other end, when everyone else had left, Zhu Di was so happy that he couldn't help shouting: "Damn it, this Anshi...is really a pig that can turn decay into magic, this guy... I didn't expect that he is really a great Confucian. "
Yi Shiha lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhu Di was both excited and excited: "Yi Shiha, come and see, Huiyuan Gu Xingzu, haha, Gu Xingzu really gave my old brothers a sigh of relief, who said that these scholars must be those rotten scholars?"
Yishiha smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."
Happy to be happy, Zhu Di still thought of something, and said: "Go and find out what Zhang Anshi is doing now? Then ask outside, how do those scholars deal with it?"
"Yes."
After a while, I came to inquire.
Yishi Hazuo reported: "In the beginning, some people called it unfair, saying that Zhang Anshi was the prince's wife and brother. They must have leaked the question. Who knew that Zhang Anshi actually taught Gu Xingzu to do the question outside the Gongyuan. Gu Xingzu was also very good. He splashed ink and wrote directly I wrote an article and it was admired by others, so the scholars were amazed and dared not say a word of injustice.”
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said, "Only Zhang Anshi can do such things."
Then, he couldn't help but asked excitedly, "What about after that?"
"Afterwards, Zhang Anshi left with his little brothers and Gu Xingzu, but left a word saying that he wrote a book called "Zhang Anshi Bagubi Tan."
Zhu Di frowned: "Damn it, he's still writing a book about it now. Those rotten scholars must be itching with hatred."
Yi Shi laughed and said: "That's not true, but ah, I heard that...these scholars all went to the bookstore in a flock."
After Zhu Di heard this, he was taken aback: "Go to the bookstore?"
"Go buy books. The major bookstores are very lively. I even heard that there are long queues in some places."
Zhu Di's face became strange, and he said: "Those scholars...they are not pedantic at all, they really can do anything."
Yishiha then followed Zhu Di's words and said: "Your Majesty, scholars are pedantic in other places, but they are all very shrewd in this eight-legged imperial examination. If one succeeds in one day and becomes a superior person, if one loses one's name, it will be a ten-year cold window, and everything will be in vain, everything will be in vain."
Zhu Di nodded: "That's true, selling books... Zhang Anshi, is he teaching apprentices, or is he rushing to sell books? No, I... have to go out for a walk. I won't take a look at such a scene. , not reconciled."
"what……"
Zhu Di said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up!"
Yishiha didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said: "Yes."
………………
The speed of news transmission can be very fast. At this time, the streets and alleys of the entire Nanjing city are crazy.
At first, some scholars rushed to the bookstore suddenly.
Later, more and more people went to the bookstore with suspicion.
This is actually understandable.
In the past, people like Gu Xingzu...in terms of knowledge alone, even a scholar might not be appreciated.
But such a person can actually win the prize, can you not be curious?
Moreover, this person wrote an essay on the spot, which was so magical, it was really surprising.
Zhang Anshi's words left a deep impression on people.
So many people thought that even a waste like Gu Xingzu is fine, so...why can't I?
Even the three of Zeng Dian couldn't help being curious. They had already been named on the gold list. Anyway, it was considered a happy event, but it's a pity...there are still regrets in my heart.
They just wanted to see what Zhang An Shi and Gu Xingzu did.
So the few people came to a bookstore nearby, and there were quite a lot of people around here, and even the scholars in front could be heard cursing: "Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he should not be a son of a human being."
Someone scolded: "This person has a dark heart, he must be a treacherous person."
Finally it was Zeng Di's turn, Zeng Di said: "Here's a copy..."
Before he finished speaking, the clerk at the bookstore said with a smile on his face: "You don't need to ask, I'll know that I'm here to buy Zhang Anshi's stereotyped pens again, come... a book of three taels of silver, hurry up, there are still people waiting Woolen cloth."
Zeng Di's face turned green.
It's really dark enough.
Three liang of silver is already a year's savings for many ordinary people.
Of course, for the vast majority of scholars, it is actually nothing. Who dares to study in this era does not have hundreds or thousands of acres of land?
Thinking that he was already in high school, Zeng Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll get a copy."
I bought a copy, and stood by the side of the road to read it. Before I could see the contents of the book, I heard someone next to me who also bought the book curse: "Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he is worse than a pig or a dog, he is wicked! .”
Zeng Wei thought it was very strange, scolding before buying, it was because they paid three taels of money for a book, they were indeed black-hearted, but you bought everything and still scolded, it was a bit out of style.
Hey, the people of the world are so popular, people's hearts are not ancient, and even scholars are not polite.
But Zeng Kai opened the cover of the book, and when he saw it, his face immediately changed, and he couldn't help saying: "Zhang Anshi is shameless, he is not human!"
But I saw that the paper in this book was almost straw paper.
It's fine if it's straw paper, and the quality of the printed ink is also average, so that many characters are blurred into a ball, and you need to be very careful to read them.
Three taels of silver, you just sell me such a thing?
What's even more disgusting is that many pages of this book are glued together, so when you want to turn a page, you subconsciously have to saliva, and then use your fingers to turn it, but after turning it, your wet fingers will wipe the pages of the previous page. The bad paper was torn.
This book...is actually a one-off!
As long as you finish flipping and want to look back again, many of the handwriting inside will become unreadable.
This is three taels of silver, three taels...
Zeng Wei was almost suffocated, he had to read the book carefully, but... he soon discovered that the summary of stereotypes in this book was something he had never thought of before.
Experts look at the doorway, but if laymen look at these, they may only think it is a heavenly book.
But in the eyes of scholars, even Zeng Chi couldn't help being surprised by the method recorded in it: "Is it still possible to do this? Is it also possible to do this?"
Sure enough, many scholars who were reading the book gradually stopped cursing after a lot of cursing. At this time, they forgot themselves and digested many viewpoints in this book word by word.
This is simply a crash course!
After directly deconstructing stereotyped essays, the shortest method is used to achieve the purpose of writing stereotyped essays.
Zeng Chi was shocked, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.
But soon, someone on the side cursed again: "Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he will be reincarnated in the animal realm in his next life, my God, how can a human being be so shameless."
Hear the howl.
Zeng Qi felt suspicious again.
Isn't this book very good?Very useful!
He even felt that if he got the book earlier... maybe...
There was a hint of pride in his eyes, maybe Gu Xingzu was no match for him at all.
Such a book... If it is really helpful to the imperial examination, even if it is three taels of silver and the paper is of inferior quality, why not?
Thinking this way in his heart, he continued to read in his hand.
As a result... the more I read it, I began to feel a bad feeling in my heart.
book is thin...
Really thin.
After turning over 40 pages, it was gone.
It's fine if it's gone.
After all, it is understandable that soldiers are more expensive than elites.
In the end, Zeng Qi discovered...the book was only written in part.
On the back cover of the book, a line of words was written: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter. Please look forward to the release of the second edition in the spring of next year."
Zeng Dian was in a daze.
Blank.
Then, he got angry and yelled: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as pigs and dogs are!"
He is a very clever man, and he understood it at once.
Take a look at this thing, although it helps, but it doesn't seem to be a big help.
Most importantly, please look forward to the spring of the coming year. The essence may be in the second edition. In the spring of the coming year, it will be the provincial examinations. I am afraid that many scholars will start to take the exam.
At that time, the exam is approaching, who would not want to find a book to give themselves a little help?
Isn't this clearly forcing you to buy it?
If you don't buy the second edition, if someone else buys it, then Master Juren will belong to them.
Black, too dark.
What shocked Zeng even more was that the superior actually made a thoughtful reminder: "To give back to the book lovers, those who hold the first edition of the book can purchase the second edition first."
What does it mean?
It means...you can't borrow books, and you can't read others' transcribed ones. You have to have the genuine copy, so that you can get the second edition immediately before the exam in the spring, and start reviewing your homework as soon as possible to prepare for the sprint of the college exam. .
Moreover, Zeng Chi absolutely doubts that with this piece of Anshi's character, even the second edition may only be a small section, and who knows how many editions there will be later.
This is slaughtering scholars to death.
Zeng Qi lowered his head, looked at the book, and realized...that he had lost three liang of silver.
He planned to go back and look through it, but found that... the paper of this book was too low-quality. During the process of flipping through the book, because his fingers were wet while turning the book, the paper was damaged a lot, and the ink was also smeared and blurred.
It's really a one-off.
Can only be viewed once.
So much so that at this time, it is impossible for someone to transcribe or borrow it for others to read.
The only function of this book now is to store it up, and when it is waiting for the second edition to be published, take this book cover to order the second edition in advance.
Three liang of silver is... gone.
Zeng Chi was considered civilized.
Many scholars on the side have already started to go crazy: "I and Thief Zhang are inseparable!"
"With me without him, with him without me."
"Poke the big wooden lady!"
"This melon is very bad."
"Sun this little cub!"
All of a sudden, there was a lot of scolding.
But... Although the whole city is scolding, there is still an endless stream of people eager to buy books.
Not only the Juren of Luodi, but also many scholars, and Tongsheng, are all moved by the news.
Scholars can pick up other places, but they have to buy books.
What's more, if everyone became Gu Xingzu, wouldn't it be a waste of time to study hard and not read this book?
The booksellers were all laughing, because the price of this book was extremely expensive, but the sales volume was very good. As soon as the goods arrived, it would be sold out within a short while.
Seeing those scolding scholars, the booksellers laughed even more happily.
"Brother Zeng...Brother Zeng...this son..." At this moment, Yang Xiang happened to meet Zeng Di and squeezed over.
Zeng Wei looked at Yang Xiang with weird eyes: "You bought it too?"
Yang Xiang nodded aggrievedly, "Yes."
Zeng Qi: "..."
Yang Xiang beat his chest and stumbled and continued: "Thinking that this son earns so much black-hearted money from us, I feel unwilling. I am unwilling. This country is also a thief, and heaven will punish him!"
Zeng Chi said calmly: "Then the next book, don't be fooled again."
Yang Xiang had a strange expression on his face: "I still have to buy it. Although I'm already in high school, my second brother will take the entrance exam next year."
The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help but hang their heads for a while, and they didn't say anything.
The books in Nanjing City are all sold out.
At the same time, in Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nantong Prefecture and other places, a large number of books were shipped over as early as ten days ago.
Of course, the news of Nanjing has not yet spread, so the sales have not yet started, but once the news passes, I am afraid that there will be a wave of sales in various places at the same time.
At this time, Zhu Di... was dressed in casual clothes, and he was sitting in a tea house opposite a certain bookstore, by the window.
He looked strangely at a group of scholars on the street who were in a hurry to buy books, but almost went mad and cursed.
Dumbfounding.
Zhu Di already felt that he was a rough person, but in front of these scholars, he found that he was also quite elegant. After all, he was only the mother of others, so he didn't have so many various means.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Yi Shiha rushed in panting, leaned into Zhu Di's ear, and said in a low voice: "I got it, a book costs three taels of silver."
"How much?" Zhu Di gasped, he couldn't sit still.
"Three or two."
"He might as well grab it." Zhu Di couldn't help saying.
"It's too hot to sell." Yi Shiha said: "The bookstore I saw alone sold more than 700 copies in just half an hour. I heard that the bookstores in the whole city are like this. Now They're all rushing to get the goods."
Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague feeling: "No wonder, no wonder. If I were those scholars, I'm afraid I would be scolded too. It's really too dark, this piece of Anshi is not doing good things!"
Yi Shiha said in a low voice: "I heard that at first some people wanted to transcribe it and sell it for money, but it is said that there is a second edition, and you have to take the first edition to order first. The second edition will be released in the next year. It’s almost time to try it. Also... I read this book once... and I can’t read it. Some people read it in a hurry, and now they are complaining, and they have to rush to buy another copy.”
"Also... I heard that the pages... are of extremely low quality, not even as good as papyrus..."
"I also heard that... Zhang Anshi went into hiding, saying that he was afraid of being hated by others."
Zhu Di: "..."
After a long time, Zhu Di yelled at the case: "Fuck his mother!"
Zhu Di was in a hurry: "This guy... is so black-hearted."
Yishiha smiled and said: "I don't know what to say..."
Zhu Di snorted and said, "If I were those scholars, I would have to strangle him to death."
Yi Shiha laughed dryly: "Hehe..."
Zhu Di immediately said: "Let Jin Yiwei go find him, find him, and tell Ji Gang... Let people keep an eye on him, don't really let the young man hurt him. I will wait for him here."
Yi Shiha nodded quickly: "The servant obeys the order."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Di's gaze was gloomy, he pondered for a moment, and then said word by word: "Tell Ji Gang that you can only protect, not pry."
Yishiha gave Zhu Di a meaningful look and said, "Yes."
…………
Attachment: The next chapter will be updated at 8:10 on August 0th. This book is the first starting point. Welcome everyone to read it on the Qidian APP.
In addition, please ask for a monthly pass. The two chapters of the tiger are [-] words. There is no manuscript, and basically I write from morning to night, crying.
(End of this chapter)
After hearing Jin's words, Zhu Di said, "You guys have worked hard this time."
Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Yang Rong, and Hu Yan said in unison: "I dare not thank you."
Zhu Di nodded: "I heard that there are a lot of talents from Jiangxi participating in the imperial examination..."
He asked casually, in fact, Zhu Di was a little bit afraid of this, just like the original Taizu Emperor Gao.
Xie Jin seemed to understand the emperor's thoughts, but he was the chief minister of the cabinet, and at the same time, to him, he was also a scholar leader, not to mention that he was from Jiangxi.
Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, as long as the imperial examinations are fair, I secretly think that it is enough to compare their talents and studies. As for the students' native places, I think this is not something that should be concerned."
As soon as this remark came out, although Zhu Di was calm on the face, he felt disgusted in his heart.
He looked at Zhu Gaochi, and said lightly: "Does the prince think so too?"
After Zhu Gaochi heard this, his heart trembled. Xie Jin's answer made sense, at least Zhu Gaochi quite agreed with it, but... Regarding this matter, Emperor Taizu Gao once criticized it.
That is to say, from the perspective of the ancestral system, this is something that should not be said. How can a grandson object to his grandfather?
What's more, the father started from Jing Nan, and the first crime he criticized Jianwen at the beginning was that his knowledge did not follow the ancestral system.
So Zhu Gaochi said vaguely: "My son... I think it makes sense."
Zhu Di was displeased, but still had a sullen face and didn't make a sound.
Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "My father and my sons and ministers disagree. The original intention of Emperor Taizu Gao to set up the imperial examination was to recruit scholars from all over the world and use them for the court. Could it be that my Ming Dynasty only recruits scholars from Jiangxi?"
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, but didn't speak.
Seeing his father's ambiguity, Zhu Gaoxu was a little discouraged, and said again: "I just think... the law of the ancestors cannot be violated. If there are scholars from Jiangxi in the court and the field, the foundation of the country will be shaken."
Zhu Di put his hand on the copybook, still speechless.
The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhu Di nervously.
At this time, no one knew what Zhu Di was thinking.
Amidst this apprehension, finally a eunuch came in panting, and said, "Your Majesty... the list is here."
Zhu Di closed his eyes slightly when he heard the words: "Take it up."
Everyone's hearts were raised.
Especially Zhu Gaochi, he knew very well that if...the Jiangxi people admitted by Xie Jin and others...are all at the top of the list, not only the scholars will make a fuss, but even the emperor will think that he is not good at doing things.
Although for Zhu Gaochi, the only thing he can do is to put an end to the fraud in the imperial examination and take measures to let the candidates take this exam well, the rest is actually beyond his control.
Yi Shiha went to pick up the list, and immediately placed the red papers in front of Zhu Di's imperial case.
Zhu Di only glanced at the past, he didn't care about the list listed later.
Only look forward from No.10.
Zhang Xi...from Yichun, Jiangxi.
Huang Jianzheng...is from Suzhou.
On the side of the Tribute Court, the examinee's hometown was very considerately attached.
Zhu Di showed impatience and continued to look up.
Yang Xiang...from Taihe, Jiangxi.
Zhou Mengqi...from Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
Zhou Shu...from Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
Zeng Qi...a native of Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.
When his gaze fell here, a cold look flashed across Zhu Di's face.
There seemed to be a gleam in the eyes.
For a split second, Zhu Di's gaze was fixed on the first name.
Gu Xingzu... a native of Daxing County, North Zhili.
Zhu Di's expression suddenly became strange.
He stared at the name Gu Xingzu, feeling a little familiar.
When Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Di's murderous aura just now, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he subconsciously glanced at Xie Jin and the others.
Xie Jin looked calm and relaxed. In his opinion, what he did was right. People in the royal family didn't understand the affairs of scholars. There is nothing to blame for him to use his talents for the country.
As for Emperor Taizu Gao...hehe.
Zhu Di's gaze became more and more strange, and he suddenly asked, "Who is Gu Xingzu?"
Many people in the hall were ignorant.
Only Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be the grandson of Zhenyuan Hou Gu Cheng."
Yi Shiha was able to become the emperor's confidant, and he also had a few tricks. He may not have much knowledge, but he knows all the names and surnames in the capital, so that the emperor can ask him at any time.
Zhu Di finally remembered, and couldn't help but wondered: "Is that Zhang Anshi's disciple?"
Yishiha said: "He is indeed studying in the Zhengyi Hall of Guozixue. His Majesty appointed Zhang Anshi as a doctor, and he is also teaching in the Zhengyi Hall."
Zhu Di was dumbfounded at first, the murderous aura just now disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty..." Speaking of Zhang Anshi, Xie Jin didn't know what to say or not.
Zhu Di looked up at Xie Jin: "Say."
Xie Jindao: "I actually think...it is quite inappropriate to let Zhang Anshi teach Guozixue. After all, Zhang Anshi is the successor of the minister...and a relative..."
Guozixue is a holy place, and the descendants of Wufu should not be allowed to teach.
This is also the purpose of Xie Jin et al.
Hu Yan felt ashamed when he heard this, but in fact he knew that these words should be said by him.
Zhu Di gave Xie Jin a weird look, and said, "Really?"
After these two words, Zhu Di fell silent.
Seeing that His Majesty was silent, Xie Jin said again: "This is just my humble opinion. I just think that the country should choose its talents and talents when employing people..."
Zhu Di said: "I know."
Zhu Di said he knew, but looked down at the list suspiciously.
The impressive "Gu Xingzu" is still there.
Zhu Di couldn't help saying silently in his heart: "Gu Cheng is a lucky person."
Then, Zhu Di looked up at Xie Jin: "Did you just talk about selecting talents and using talents?"
"Yes." Xie Jin bit the bullet and said: "The imperial court divides civil and military duties, civil and military divisions, and generals have different ways. I think... Zhang Anshi may not be suitable for this position. Why doesn't your majesty order him to be in the army..."
Zhu Di nodded, but said, "What is the doctor's job?"
Xie Jin said: "The doctor's duty is naturally... to teach and solve doubts."
"How can you be considered a doctor?"
"Of course peaches and plums are everywhere."
Zhu Di nodded again, and continued to ask: "Then, is Xie Qing's family full of peaches and plums?"
Xie Jin hurriedly said: "Chen...I'm so ashamed...Chen..."
Zhu Di said with emotion: "Do you know who is the first Huiyuan in this exam?"
Xie Jin said: "I...don't know."
Zhu Di sighed, "It's Gu Xingzu..."
As soon as the name came out, the hall fell silent.
But the cautious Zhu Gaochi almost jumped up: "Father, is that Gu Xingzu who the son of the country studied?"
"This... this..." Xie Jin was a little confused.
Zhu Di said: "Why, Xie Qing's family seems to have doubts?"
"Chen... Chen... Do you think... could you make a mistake?" Xie Jin seemed to be unable to accept it for a while.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Even if it was a mistake, it was also made by Xie Qing's family. You are the chief examiner, and you were the one who presided over the exam that day, and you will be the one who grades the papers after that, and you are also the member who was circled by Xie Qing's family. If there is a mistake, then the chief examiner is really unfair, I am afraid that I will be the first to destroy the three clans of Jieqing's family."
I have to say that Zhu Di uttered the most ruthless words in the most gentle words.
After hearing this, Xie Jin was terrified. He had no excuses at this time, so he prostrated himself and said: "The minister has no form, the king is disrespectful, and he will die."
It was Zhu Di, who really felt that a big rock that he had been carrying in his heart suddenly fell to the ground at this time, and couldn't help but said emotionally: "Huiyuan is actually from Beizhili, so...the scholars should not make trouble, it can be regarded as blocking the people of the world." Yoyo's mouth."
Immediately, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, and said with admiring eyes: "Prince, presiding over the imperial examination these days is really hard work. I heard that you have worked hard for this, and you have lost a lot of weight."
There was already a warm current in Zhu Gaochi's heart. Of course, he was full of doubts now, Gu Xingzu...that guy...how did he become Huiyuan?
He couldn't figure it out.
In fact, everyone present here is also puzzled and shocked.
So that everyone was speechless.
Zhu Gaochi said: "The sons and ministers can share the worries of the father and the emperor, and do the filial piety of a son and the loyalty of a minister.
After all, Zhu Gaochi kowtowed.
Zhu Di is really happy now, he laughed badly and said: "Interesting, interesting, today's incident is especially interesting, you see... this Gu Xingzu... really did not insult his ancestors, and his mentor Zhang Anshi, this doctor is very Competent, that's no wonder, no wonder..."
As he said that, Zhu Di looked at Hu Yan.
Hu Yan dodged and began to move quietly behind the tall Yang Rong.
Zhu Di's eyes caught up again.
Hu Yan couldn't avoid it.
"Hu Yanqing's house." Zhu Di said with a smile.
Hu Yan was shocked, but also a little anxious to leave the class: "The minister is here."
"The Hu Qing family's eyes are bright, and they have worked hard. If the Hu Qing family hadn't recommended Zhang Anshi, I would have never expected that Zhang Anshi would be so well educated. In the past, I was skeptical, but now I know the good intentions of the Hu Qing family."
Hu Yan: "..."
"Why doesn't Hu Qing's family say anything?"
"I... feel ashamed."
Zhu Di smiled: "It's not Hu Qing who should be ashamed, but some blind people. Everyone says that Zhang Anshi is not suitable for this doctor, and only Hu Qing's family strongly recommends it. If Hu Qing's family is ashamed, then how can this man of civil and military affairs be ashamed?" Stop being ashamed?"
Hu Yan: "..."
Zhu Di was overjoyed again and said: "Thanks to Gu Xingzu's fighting spirit this time, scholars who want to come to the world will no longer complain. Of course... Zhang Anshi also contributed a lot. Gu Xingzu is Huiyuan, so Zhang Anshi is a famous teacher, a famous teacher. Get out of high school!"
Now that this is the case, many people feel very uncomfortable, but what else can they say?I can only follow the emperor's words: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di cheerfully said: "The things that Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't solve, that kid Jianwen... was even more confused about how to handle this matter, but when I ascended the throne, it will be easy, and it will inspire the world's scholars, haha, I rule the world with literature... ...the effect is beginning to show."
This is actually very shameless, he is clearly a martial artist, but he calls it martial arts.
Of course, in fact, this is also a daily operation, so what is missing is what to make up for!Historically, Zhu Di's posthumous title was Emperor Wen.
Finally, the ministers dispersed.
Xie Jin and the others still looked astonished, and went all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion. Xie Jin couldn't help but said: "That paper with amazing grammar is actually Gu Xingzu's?"
Hu Guang was also very surprised: "I really didn't expect that Gu Cheng, the grandson, could make such an article."
Yang Rong was behind, silent for a long time.
Obviously, Xie Jin was very unhappy at this time. Although the scholars in Jishui County have already occupied No.2 to No.4 this time, there are especially many candidates who have been on the list since then. I dare not say that they occupy half, but at least ten of them One or two is still there.
Twelve out of ten is a very scary concept, after all, Jishui is only a county.
It would be even more terrifying if the entire Jiangxi list was included.
But Xie Jin still regrets that Huiyuan is not Zeng Dian, Zhou Shu, and Zhou Mengqi who he likes.
"My lords... my lords..."
Behind him, Hu Yan hurried to catch up.
Upon hearing his voice, Xie Jin quickened his pace.
Hu Guang and Yang Rong looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled wryly, but stopped.
Hu Yan caught up panting, but saw that Jin had gone far away, with a face of regret, then looked at Hu Guang and Yang Rong, bowed and saluted: "Hey... hey... misunderstanding, big misunderstanding, back then... "
Before Hu Yan finished speaking, Hu Guang smiled slightly: "Mr. Hu Yan doesn't have to be like this."
"It doesn't explain it, wouldn't I...haven't I become a flatterer?" Hu Yan said with a wry smile.
Yang Rongdao: "How many things in the world can be explained clearly?"
Hu Yan showed regret again. In fact, he wanted to explain to Xie Jin that on the one hand, Xie Jin was a scholar of the Shoufu University, but on the other hand, Xie Jin had the deepest friendship with him at the beginning.
But now seeing that Xie Jin heard his call, but ignored it, and even walked away, there was nothing but helplessness in his heart.
He lowered his head and said, "I might not be able to explain clearly in a while, why don't you turn around and invite Ergong to come to my house together, and we will warm a pot of old wine and talk in detail as before."
Hu Guang said with a smile: "I'm willing to chatter, I'm afraid Xiegong will..."
Yang Rong said: "Mr. Hu Yan, as long as you have a clear heart, why should you be afraid of others' words? Besides, I think Zhang Anshi is really a wonderful person. We can't judge people by their appearance. Look, isn't he a doctor who is very qualified? What is there to criticize?" Woolen cloth?"
Hu Yan: "..."
Hu Yan had no choice but to wave his hands: "Be taught."
After all, he left in dismay.
…………
On the other end, when everyone else had left, Zhu Di was so happy that he couldn't help shouting: "Damn it, this Anshi...is really a pig that can turn decay into magic, this guy... I didn't expect that he is really a great Confucian. "
Yi Shiha lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhu Di was both excited and excited: "Yi Shiha, come and see, Huiyuan Gu Xingzu, haha, Gu Xingzu really gave my old brothers a sigh of relief, who said that these scholars must be those rotten scholars?"
Yishiha smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."
Happy to be happy, Zhu Di still thought of something, and said: "Go and find out what Zhang Anshi is doing now? Then ask outside, how do those scholars deal with it?"
"Yes."
After a while, I came to inquire.
Yishi Hazuo reported: "In the beginning, some people called it unfair, saying that Zhang Anshi was the prince's wife and brother. They must have leaked the question. Who knew that Zhang Anshi actually taught Gu Xingzu to do the question outside the Gongyuan. Gu Xingzu was also very good. He splashed ink and wrote directly I wrote an article and it was admired by others, so the scholars were amazed and dared not say a word of injustice.”
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said, "Only Zhang Anshi can do such things."
Then, he couldn't help but asked excitedly, "What about after that?"
"Afterwards, Zhang Anshi left with his little brothers and Gu Xingzu, but left a word saying that he wrote a book called "Zhang Anshi Bagubi Tan."
Zhu Di frowned: "Damn it, he's still writing a book about it now. Those rotten scholars must be itching with hatred."
Yi Shi laughed and said: "That's not true, but ah, I heard that...these scholars all went to the bookstore in a flock."
After Zhu Di heard this, he was taken aback: "Go to the bookstore?"
"Go buy books. The major bookstores are very lively. I even heard that there are long queues in some places."
Zhu Di's face became strange, and he said: "Those scholars...they are not pedantic at all, they really can do anything."
Yishiha then followed Zhu Di's words and said: "Your Majesty, scholars are pedantic in other places, but they are all very shrewd in this eight-legged imperial examination. If one succeeds in one day and becomes a superior person, if one loses one's name, it will be a ten-year cold window, and everything will be in vain, everything will be in vain."
Zhu Di nodded: "That's true, selling books... Zhang Anshi, is he teaching apprentices, or is he rushing to sell books? No, I... have to go out for a walk. I won't take a look at such a scene. , not reconciled."
"what……"
Zhu Di said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up!"
Yishiha didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said: "Yes."
………………
The speed of news transmission can be very fast. At this time, the streets and alleys of the entire Nanjing city are crazy.
At first, some scholars rushed to the bookstore suddenly.
Later, more and more people went to the bookstore with suspicion.
This is actually understandable.
In the past, people like Gu Xingzu...in terms of knowledge alone, even a scholar might not be appreciated.
But such a person can actually win the prize, can you not be curious?
Moreover, this person wrote an essay on the spot, which was so magical, it was really surprising.
Zhang Anshi's words left a deep impression on people.
So many people thought that even a waste like Gu Xingzu is fine, so...why can't I?
Even the three of Zeng Dian couldn't help being curious. They had already been named on the gold list. Anyway, it was considered a happy event, but it's a pity...there are still regrets in my heart.
They just wanted to see what Zhang An Shi and Gu Xingzu did.
So the few people came to a bookstore nearby, and there were quite a lot of people around here, and even the scholars in front could be heard cursing: "Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he should not be a son of a human being."
Someone scolded: "This person has a dark heart, he must be a treacherous person."
Finally it was Zeng Di's turn, Zeng Di said: "Here's a copy..."
Before he finished speaking, the clerk at the bookstore said with a smile on his face: "You don't need to ask, I'll know that I'm here to buy Zhang Anshi's stereotyped pens again, come... a book of three taels of silver, hurry up, there are still people waiting Woolen cloth."
Zeng Di's face turned green.
It's really dark enough.
Three liang of silver is already a year's savings for many ordinary people.
Of course, for the vast majority of scholars, it is actually nothing. Who dares to study in this era does not have hundreds or thousands of acres of land?
Thinking that he was already in high school, Zeng Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll get a copy."
I bought a copy, and stood by the side of the road to read it. Before I could see the contents of the book, I heard someone next to me who also bought the book curse: "Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he is worse than a pig or a dog, he is wicked! .”
Zeng Wei thought it was very strange, scolding before buying, it was because they paid three taels of money for a book, they were indeed black-hearted, but you bought everything and still scolded, it was a bit out of style.
Hey, the people of the world are so popular, people's hearts are not ancient, and even scholars are not polite.
But Zeng Kai opened the cover of the book, and when he saw it, his face immediately changed, and he couldn't help saying: "Zhang Anshi is shameless, he is not human!"
But I saw that the paper in this book was almost straw paper.
It's fine if it's straw paper, and the quality of the printed ink is also average, so that many characters are blurred into a ball, and you need to be very careful to read them.
Three taels of silver, you just sell me such a thing?
What's even more disgusting is that many pages of this book are glued together, so when you want to turn a page, you subconsciously have to saliva, and then use your fingers to turn it, but after turning it, your wet fingers will wipe the pages of the previous page. The bad paper was torn.
This book...is actually a one-off!
As long as you finish flipping and want to look back again, many of the handwriting inside will become unreadable.
This is three taels of silver, three taels...
Zeng Wei was almost suffocated, he had to read the book carefully, but... he soon discovered that the summary of stereotypes in this book was something he had never thought of before.
Experts look at the doorway, but if laymen look at these, they may only think it is a heavenly book.
But in the eyes of scholars, even Zeng Chi couldn't help being surprised by the method recorded in it: "Is it still possible to do this? Is it also possible to do this?"
Sure enough, many scholars who were reading the book gradually stopped cursing after a lot of cursing. At this time, they forgot themselves and digested many viewpoints in this book word by word.
This is simply a crash course!
After directly deconstructing stereotyped essays, the shortest method is used to achieve the purpose of writing stereotyped essays.
Zeng Chi was shocked, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.
But soon, someone on the side cursed again: "Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he will be reincarnated in the animal realm in his next life, my God, how can a human being be so shameless."
Hear the howl.
Zeng Qi felt suspicious again.
Isn't this book very good?Very useful!
He even felt that if he got the book earlier... maybe...
There was a hint of pride in his eyes, maybe Gu Xingzu was no match for him at all.
Such a book... If it is really helpful to the imperial examination, even if it is three taels of silver and the paper is of inferior quality, why not?
Thinking this way in his heart, he continued to read in his hand.
As a result... the more I read it, I began to feel a bad feeling in my heart.
book is thin...
Really thin.
After turning over 40 pages, it was gone.
It's fine if it's gone.
After all, it is understandable that soldiers are more expensive than elites.
In the end, Zeng Qi discovered...the book was only written in part.
On the back cover of the book, a line of words was written: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter. Please look forward to the release of the second edition in the spring of next year."
Zeng Dian was in a daze.
Blank.
Then, he got angry and yelled: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as pigs and dogs are!"
He is a very clever man, and he understood it at once.
Take a look at this thing, although it helps, but it doesn't seem to be a big help.
Most importantly, please look forward to the spring of the coming year. The essence may be in the second edition. In the spring of the coming year, it will be the provincial examinations. I am afraid that many scholars will start to take the exam.
At that time, the exam is approaching, who would not want to find a book to give themselves a little help?
Isn't this clearly forcing you to buy it?
If you don't buy the second edition, if someone else buys it, then Master Juren will belong to them.
Black, too dark.
What shocked Zeng even more was that the superior actually made a thoughtful reminder: "To give back to the book lovers, those who hold the first edition of the book can purchase the second edition first."
What does it mean?
It means...you can't borrow books, and you can't read others' transcribed ones. You have to have the genuine copy, so that you can get the second edition immediately before the exam in the spring, and start reviewing your homework as soon as possible to prepare for the sprint of the college exam. .
Moreover, Zeng Chi absolutely doubts that with this piece of Anshi's character, even the second edition may only be a small section, and who knows how many editions there will be later.
This is slaughtering scholars to death.
Zeng Qi lowered his head, looked at the book, and realized...that he had lost three liang of silver.
He planned to go back and look through it, but found that... the paper of this book was too low-quality. During the process of flipping through the book, because his fingers were wet while turning the book, the paper was damaged a lot, and the ink was also smeared and blurred.
It's really a one-off.
Can only be viewed once.
So much so that at this time, it is impossible for someone to transcribe or borrow it for others to read.
The only function of this book now is to store it up, and when it is waiting for the second edition to be published, take this book cover to order the second edition in advance.
Three liang of silver is... gone.
Zeng Chi was considered civilized.
Many scholars on the side have already started to go crazy: "I and Thief Zhang are inseparable!"
"With me without him, with him without me."
"Poke the big wooden lady!"
"This melon is very bad."
"Sun this little cub!"
All of a sudden, there was a lot of scolding.
But... Although the whole city is scolding, there is still an endless stream of people eager to buy books.
Not only the Juren of Luodi, but also many scholars, and Tongsheng, are all moved by the news.
Scholars can pick up other places, but they have to buy books.
What's more, if everyone became Gu Xingzu, wouldn't it be a waste of time to study hard and not read this book?
The booksellers were all laughing, because the price of this book was extremely expensive, but the sales volume was very good. As soon as the goods arrived, it would be sold out within a short while.
Seeing those scolding scholars, the booksellers laughed even more happily.
"Brother Zeng...Brother Zeng...this son..." At this moment, Yang Xiang happened to meet Zeng Di and squeezed over.
Zeng Wei looked at Yang Xiang with weird eyes: "You bought it too?"
Yang Xiang nodded aggrievedly, "Yes."
Zeng Qi: "..."
Yang Xiang beat his chest and stumbled and continued: "Thinking that this son earns so much black-hearted money from us, I feel unwilling. I am unwilling. This country is also a thief, and heaven will punish him!"
Zeng Chi said calmly: "Then the next book, don't be fooled again."
Yang Xiang had a strange expression on his face: "I still have to buy it. Although I'm already in high school, my second brother will take the entrance exam next year."
The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help but hang their heads for a while, and they didn't say anything.
The books in Nanjing City are all sold out.
At the same time, in Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nantong Prefecture and other places, a large number of books were shipped over as early as ten days ago.
Of course, the news of Nanjing has not yet spread, so the sales have not yet started, but once the news passes, I am afraid that there will be a wave of sales in various places at the same time.
At this time, Zhu Di... was dressed in casual clothes, and he was sitting in a tea house opposite a certain bookstore, by the window.
He looked strangely at a group of scholars on the street who were in a hurry to buy books, but almost went mad and cursed.
Dumbfounding.
Zhu Di already felt that he was a rough person, but in front of these scholars, he found that he was also quite elegant. After all, he was only the mother of others, so he didn't have so many various means.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Yi Shiha rushed in panting, leaned into Zhu Di's ear, and said in a low voice: "I got it, a book costs three taels of silver."
"How much?" Zhu Di gasped, he couldn't sit still.
"Three or two."
"He might as well grab it." Zhu Di couldn't help saying.
"It's too hot to sell." Yi Shiha said: "The bookstore I saw alone sold more than 700 copies in just half an hour. I heard that the bookstores in the whole city are like this. Now They're all rushing to get the goods."
Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague feeling: "No wonder, no wonder. If I were those scholars, I'm afraid I would be scolded too. It's really too dark, this piece of Anshi is not doing good things!"
Yi Shiha said in a low voice: "I heard that at first some people wanted to transcribe it and sell it for money, but it is said that there is a second edition, and you have to take the first edition to order first. The second edition will be released in the next year. It’s almost time to try it. Also... I read this book once... and I can’t read it. Some people read it in a hurry, and now they are complaining, and they have to rush to buy another copy.”
"Also... I heard that the pages... are of extremely low quality, not even as good as papyrus..."
"I also heard that... Zhang Anshi went into hiding, saying that he was afraid of being hated by others."
Zhu Di: "..."
After a long time, Zhu Di yelled at the case: "Fuck his mother!"
Zhu Di was in a hurry: "This guy... is so black-hearted."
Yishiha smiled and said: "I don't know what to say..."
Zhu Di snorted and said, "If I were those scholars, I would have to strangle him to death."
Yi Shiha laughed dryly: "Hehe..."
Zhu Di immediately said: "Let Jin Yiwei go find him, find him, and tell Ji Gang... Let people keep an eye on him, don't really let the young man hurt him. I will wait for him here."
Yi Shiha nodded quickly: "The servant obeys the order."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Di's gaze was gloomy, he pondered for a moment, and then said word by word: "Tell Ji Gang that you can only protect, not pry."
Yishiha gave Zhu Di a meaningful look and said, "Yes."
