After Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan successfully passed the clear road of Jinyiwei's collection of intelligence, Gao Zixin felt a heart problem, and then he didn't bother to pay attention to the three auxiliary ministers, and directly sent them back to do business.

It is not difficult to verify the dam, but what is difficult is what to do with the officials who are greedy for money.

The water is too deep in this, and once it is thoroughly investigated, even the three of them may turn over. So what to do, the three of them must think carefully.

But the three of them didn't know that Jin Yiwei had been watching their every move, if they deliberately covered it up, and when Gao Zixin freed his hand, it would be time for them to return to their hometown.

And what they didn't know was that as soon as they walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, Feng Xuan proposed a proposal to Gao Zixin.

The problem Gao Zixin is facing now is that there are too many silverfish in the middle of the court, but there is no one to use. This thorough investigation of the dam is actually an opportunity, Gao Zixin can replace his own people, and these people will become his henchmen in the future.

It's just that he has no one to use now, and the imperial examination is too late, so it is likely that he missed this good opportunity in vain.

Feng Xuan thought of this, so he specially proposed a construction for him. His meaning is very simple, this time the imperial examination is too late, but there are still previous imperial examinations!

In previous years, there were quite a few people who participated in the imperial examination, and on average, there were two or three hundred people in each session. However, not everyone with these two or three hundred people can get an official position. Needless to say, the first-class people, but the second-class, or even the third-class people, are not so lucky.

Those who are ranked high in the second class can also get a half-official position, but those who are ranked behind, if it doesn't matter, then they can only go home and wait for the notice.

However, once these people participated in the palace examination, it was impossible for them to participate in the imperial examination again, and some of them performed abnormally, and their future in that life was basically ruined, and they could only consider themselves unlucky.

And there are a lot of such unlucky eggs in every session, and the accumulation is also a terrible number. If Gao Zixin can give them a chance, then these people will naturally be loyal to Gao Zixin, and their liver and brains will be ruined.

Gao Zixin had rarely been exposed to these things before, so he never thought that there was such a person who could be used, and as soon as Feng Xuan gave him an analysis, he figured it out.

It's just that he thought about it, those people have been participating in the imperial examination for so long, and it is really difficult to judge how much ability they have, if they are rashly entrusted with important tasks, no matter how loyal they are, it will be more than enough to succeed.

So Gao Zixin pondered and planned to take a professional exam.

As soon as he had an idea, he immediately discussed it with Feng Xuan.

As soon as Feng Xuan heard his thoughts, the smile on his face suddenly deepened: "Your Majesty is really wise, such a method, but even the ministers didn't expect it." ”

Gao Zixin was praised by him for a while, and felt that it was no further delay, so he simply ordered someone to draft an edict and summon those unlucky people who were still waiting for the notice to enter Beijing.

As soon as this decree came out, the court was in an uproar, and they were all speculating about what kind of medicine Gao Zixin was selling this time.

Even the three auxiliary ministers who were in charge of thoroughly investigating the dam case couldn't help but come to Gao Zixin to ask.

Gao Zixin's reason was very legitimate, and the three of them were speechless: "Did the three Aiqing forget?" I want to build a Tibetan library, and the books in the palace, as well as those books that have been fundraised, must be carefully verified and re-recorded, how big is this project, do the three Aiqing think that they can complete it with just those Hanlin? I don't have that much time to wait. Those candidates are not bad in terms of learning, and they must be able to do this job. ”

Gao Zixin directly used this matter to gag their mouths, not to mention the three auxiliary ministers, even other court officials did not dare to oppose it anymore. The scholars wished that the Tibetan Museum would be built as soon as possible to benefit the world's scholars, and the generals would not be able to speak, they may not be able to write articles, but they are not fools!

If they jump out to stop the good thing of building a Tibetan museum for the benefit of the country and the people, they will not be scolded to death by the people of the world?

So this matter went on very smoothly, not only that, but Gao Zixin also deliberately found an excuse and arranged for someone to come up with a set of professional questions in order to test the ability of those scholars.

Many scholars who were waiting at home for the notice were excited when they heard the news, and they were all desperate to wait, how did they know that they had encountered such a good thing!

Although the holy decree did not say what they were going to do in Beijing, since it was called by the Son of Heaven, how could it be a bad thing?

So, these people didn't say a word, and directly packed up their burdens and rushed to the capital. Even if the family is poor, there are people who rush to send the plate to entangle, that is, they are optimistic that they will be able to soar in the future and get a good relationship in advance.

Gao Zixin gave a one-month deadline, no matter how far away, he could always arrive. As soon as the deadline arrives, those who haven't come yet will naturally be disqualified.

A month is not long, but it is not short.

Scholars came from all over the country one after another, and almost all the inns in the capital were full.

At this time, the ink-making craftsmen of the Internal Manufacturing Bureau had already rushed to produce a batch of ink, and a lot of books were printed. Gao Zixin simply called Qian Bi and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to open the bookstore.

Qian Bi is almost obedient to Gao Zixin now, whatever he says is what he says, as soon as he heard about the opening of the bookstore, he immediately assured Gao Zixin that he would arrange the shop within three days.

Three days may seem like a short time, but it's not. After all, the bookstore is to sell books, sell pen, ink, paper and inkstone, unlike Duobaolou, which needs special decoration and layout, just simple decoration.

So three days is actually enough.

Qian Bi realized the benefits of "advertising" from the matter of Duobaolou, so in the past three days, the scholars who were nervously waiting for the notice suddenly heard the news that a bookstore would open in the near future.

The news spread in the capital, and the scholars couldn't help but be curious. However, at this moment, Gao Zixin suddenly let people spread the news that as soon as the January period arrived, the scholars would face the exam, and those who passed the exam would be hired.

As soon as the news came out, the scholars were shaken again.

They traveled thousands of miles to rush to the capital, hoping to be hired so that they would not bury their knowledge.

So as soon as the news came out, they realized that the opportunity they had been waiting for had arrived. Whether you can get hired or not depends on this time.

As for what will happen if you fail, everyone knows it very well.

So on the day the bookstore opened, the threshold was almost broken by the scholars who came to visit. These scholars have already inquired, and the behind-the-scenes owner of Tianxia Bookstore is today!

When the bookstore opened today, where is the reason why they don't go in and have a look? Maybe you can find information about this exam?

As a result, the scholars went in with some unspeakable thoughts, but after seeing the contents of the contents, the eyes of these people straightened.

The quality of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone inside is quite good, all the books still exude a good smell of ink, the handwriting is clear and neat, the ink is thick and black, and it is actually printed with good ink!

What excites them the most is that the price of these books is nearly half cheaper than the books of the same quality on the market, and even those scholars who have been specially ordered to enter Beijing can get a 5% discount!

You only need to pay half the price and you can buy things back!

It is said that this is a special grace given to them by the Son of Heaven out of his own pocket.

The scholars were immediately moved, and unless they were really shy in their pockets, they refused to discount at all, and even wanted to buy them back at double the price.

For this reason, these people almost quarreled with the shopkeeper of the bookstore excitedly.

After seeing that they couldn't wait to say that they were not short of money, they didn't want discounts, and they wanted to buy books at double the price, he touched his beard and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, there are still hardcover editions and collector's editions in the store, you might as well take a look at them first, and then decide which one to buy." ”

These scholars are actually not very rich, after all, if they are really rich, they have already spent money to have a good relationship, so why have they been waiting for news at home.

However, many of them are from small rich families, and this time the Son of Heaven called them, and the villagers in the family also prepared a lot of silver for them in case of emergency.

So as soon as they heard that there were hardcover editions and collector's editions, these people stopped making trouble and followed their guys to read books.

The so-called hardcover edition and collector's edition, whether it is the paper or binding, are not comparable to the regular edition, and the price is naturally two times or even several times more expensive than the regular edition.

These scholars are all book lovers, and when they saw the books made of fine work, they immediately fell in love with them, if they hadn't remembered that the exam hadn't started yet, they would have to spend money to stay in Beijing, and they couldn't wait to clean all their purses.

Not only did they buy books, but they also bought new inks. After all, the quality of this ink is comparable to the best tung ink, but the price is only equivalent to good pine smoke ink.

Soon, the fame of Tianxia Bookstore began.

Not only because the things in it are of good quality, but more importantly, they are not only of good quality, but also relatively cheap!

So as soon as the news spread, the Tianxia bookstore began to be overcrowded.

Not to mention those scholars, even those who are in business at home, and even the civil and military generals in the court, have specially sent people in to buy them, and they can't wait to move all the good books and ink inside!

As a result, in less than three days, Qian Bi came to tell Gao Zixin a "bad news" with a bitter face.

The World Bookstore is sold out!

Gao Zixin was drawing an old turtle, and when he heard the words, the tip of the pen was shaken, and he drew crookedly. He looked at Qian Bi in amazement, suspecting that he had misheard: "What did you say?" Say it again? ”

Sold out? How could it be, he clearly remembered that Li Ying had repeatedly assured him that he had prepared enough inventory!
