The first issue of Acta Physica Sinica actually made money.

A total of 480 copies were printed, but only about 270 copies were sold. Each newspaper was worth three cents, and the total sales were more than eight taels of silver. Wax paper, ink, manuscript fees, printing paper, newsboy commissions, these costs are less than five taels of silver, so the net income is three taels of silver.

However, the contributors are all friends and students of Wang Yuan, and the manuscript fee is very low. Wang Yuan and Huang E do not receive salaries as editors, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" saves manuscript fees. This situation is not normal, contributors will certainly not be happy after a long time, and editors' remuneration should also be on the agenda.

"Little sister, you have to write and be responsible for proofreading the manuscript, the work is really heavy," Wang Yuan took out half a penny of silver and said, "I can't let you help in vain, the monthly salary is only these for the time being, and the newspaper sales will be opened up in the future." ”

Huang E hurriedly excused himself: "I'm not here to make money. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Don't you think that making money by yourself has a special sense of accomplishment?" Moreover, there are no rules, and if the "Physica Sinica" wants to run for a long time, it must establish these rules well. ”

Wang Yuan said so, so it was reasonable for Huang E to refuse. She smiled and took the broken silver, and sure enough, she felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, she was receiving a salary for the first time in her life.

"It's a pity that there are still too few people who buy newspapers, and they sell less than 300 copies." Huang E was worried about Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan comforted instead: "Take your time, there are more than 270 copies sold in the first issue, which is already a very good start." ”

Suddenly, the servant came to report it, handed him a thorn, and said, "Master, there is a guest who wants to see you." ”

Wang Yuan took the famous thorn with a surprised expression on his face.

Hanlin Academy edited Yan Song?

No matter how historical idiot Wang Yuan is, he also knows that Yan Song is a traitor in the Ming Dynasty. But this guy seems to be from the Jiajing Dynasty, and now it's only seven years of Zhengde, and he has already become the editor of the Hanlin Academy?

Could it be the same name and surname?

Wang Yuan really couldn't understand, so he could only say, "Please come in and watch the tea." ”

Since it was edited by the Hanlin Academy, Wang Yuan couldn't be rude and walked to the courtyard to greet him in person.

After Wang Yuan left the house, Huang E immediately took out his salary and said to the maid: "Chan'er, take it to buy some candied fruit, I have a treat today." ”

Xia Chan quipped: "Yo, this is the silver that Miss earns herself, and it tastes better when you buy things." ”

"Dead girl begging for a beating, go and come back quickly!" Huang E scolded with a smile.

Xia Chan hugged the kitten, called a scholar from the country, and went to buy candied fruit with the capital, and when she was about to go out of the gate, she happened to meet Yan Song who came in.

Yan Song is in a very good mood at the moment, Wang Erlang, who is very favored by the emperor, can be seen easily, how can it be like not even letting in the door of the house in the Yang family? Because of this, Yan Song had a very good impression of Wang Yuan and thought that the other party was a gentleman worth befriending.

Walking through the hall, Yan Song saw from afar that a young man was standing in the courtyard waiting.

"But Yan Editing?" Wang Yuan hugged his fists.

Yan Song felt that he was being taken seriously, and said politely: "How dare you welcome the king in person, I am tormented." ”

Even if he is really a traitor in history, Wang Yuan will not be easily offended, after all, the other party is an official of the Hanlin Academy, and sooner or later he will be reinstated. He took Yan Song's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile as he walked: "Where, Yan Xiu, please come in." ”

greeted each other in the courtyard and walked hand in hand, which made Yan Song greatly moved.

Because of his poor family since he was a child, his parents died one after another, and he also succeeded in the imperial examination, his personality is extremely complicated. He is conceited but a little inferior, tall and arrogant but wants to be recognized by others, and has a very strong temperament but does not like to fight with others.

This kind of complexity, if it is frequent, may become distorted, and even blacken after abandoning the bottom line.

Wang Yuan took Yan Song to the reception room and asked curiously, "What year is Yan Bianxiu?" ”

Yan Song reported to his family: "In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he was the second in the second class, and the museum was selected as the Shu Jishi, and after the museum was disbanded, he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing." Before he took office, his mother returned to his hometown and has been stumbling to this day. ”

Wang Yuan calculated the time, and the date was just right.

The Ming Dynasty had strict regulations on Ding Wei officials, and they must immediately return to the Ministry of Officials to report after the completion of the mourning period. Those who do not report for more than one year must be held accountable; Those who do not report for more than two years must not be reinstated and remanded to their original place of origin for trial; Those who do not report for three years must be dealt with seriously, and may even be stripped of their fame.

Yan Song has been working in his hometown for half a year, and if he doesn't go to Beijing within this year, he will be held responsible.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Since the period of strict editing and repairing has expired, we will be colleagues of the Hanlin Academy in the future." ”

Yan Song shook his head and sighed: "The ministry asked me to wait for the arrangement." ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "How is it possible? Didn't Yan Xiu go to the Hanlin Academy? ”

"Go, the Ministry of Officials and the Hanlin Academy, I have already gone to report," Yan Song said aggrievedly, "but they all let me wait with peace of mind." ”

This is a violation!

When Ding Wei, an ordinary official, returns to Beijing after his term of service, he will definitely have to wait for a while before he can be reassigned to work, and if he is lucky, he will only wait for three or five months, and if he is unlucky, he will have to wait for two or three years.

However, the officials of the Cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, as well as the six Shangshu, can be directly reinstated after returning to Beijing!

Where did Yan Song suffer?

His auditor has been dead for many years, and his influence in the court has long since disappeared. After he was awarded the editor of the Hanlin Academy, he never went to work, and he had no connections in the Hanlin Academy. His auditor was an official outside, and his teacher when he was a Jishi sat on a cold bench in Nanjing.

There was no one who could speak for him!

Yan Song went to the Hanlin Academy, and although the Hanlin Academy did not make it difficult, it asked him to take out the reinstatement documents of the Ministry of Officials. The Ministry of Officials is a little inexplicable, and the Ministry of Officials is not qualified to compile and restore officials for the Hanlin Academy, at least with the approval of the Ministry of Officials, but the minor officials of the Ministry of Officials do not help to report, and the Ministry of Officials does not know that Yan Song is back.

Wang Yuan asked, "Yan Xiu, you didn't make any money in the Ministry of Officials, did you?" ”

Yan Songleng said: "I am innocent as a man and an official, how can I send silver to the officials?" Moreover, I am the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and when I return to Beijing after the expiration of the Ding Wei period, I should have been reinstated as an official, so why should I send money to anyone? ”

"No wonder." Wang Yuan shook his head and laughed.

Even if the benevolent brother in front of him is really the big traitor in history, at this time he is just a stunned young man who has not experienced social beatings.

People in their early thirties don't know how to send money to the officials!

Wang Yuan explained: "You have been away from the court for many years, and I am afraid you don't have any friends. If you don't give money to the officials, how can they help you? ”

Yan Song said angrily: "I am a dignified Hanlin Academy, and sooner or later I will be reinstated, aren't they afraid of being retaliated against by me one day?" Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules and being held accountable by the imperial court? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "They don't need to do things in violation of regulations, they just need to put your file in the most inconspicuous place forever." As for retaliation, who knows in what year you will be reinstated? ”

"Too much deception!" Yan Song was furious.

Seeing that Yan Song didn't even know how to send silver to the officials, Wang Yuan felt very interesting, and he could push this big traitor with his own hands.

As for the future, observe slowly, and if your mind is not correct or you don't listen to the call, then you will abandon it. If you know how to be grateful and have strong ability, you will be a member of your command.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'll take you to see Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials." ”

Yan Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and got up and said, "Bachelor Wang's great grace, it is unforgettable!" ”
