Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that the books he copied a little in the east and a little in the west would be so popular in the empire. Under Ruan Dayue's arrangement, the book "Economics" quickly spread to the entire empire.

"Ruan Aiqing, how many copies of "Economics" have been sold so far?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The specific data cannot be counted for the time being, but "Economics" has been printed for the third time so far, the first 1,000 copies, in Beijing has been sold out, the second is 10,000 copies, the sales area of this 10,000 copies is Jiangnan and Jingshi, the minister has not yet counted the sales, the third minister is ready to print 100,000 copies, and it is still being printed, the minister is ready to distribute the book "Economics" to the entire empire along the channel of the "Imperial Daily", and when the time comes, whether it is the people of Sipol, The people of Leng Zhou will have the privilege of reading His Majesty's "Economics". Ruan Dayue replied.

"I don't want to see anyone take advantage of my prestige and use my books to make money, and if that happens, I will punish me severely." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No, the minister will definitely do it himself, and he will never allow anyone to take advantage of His Majesty's "Economics" to do evil." Ruan Dayue said with trepidation.

"I only know that the book has received a good response among a few officials and businessmen, but what is the response among the people? I don't know much about it. ”

"Your Majesty's new book has received a really good response from the people, and now everyone has read the book "Economics", not to mention that everyone has read the book "Economics", at least they have heard of the book "Economics". The minister even heard that a minister proposed to put the book "Economics" in the government school. ”

"Poof......" Hearing Ruan Dayue's words, Zhu Youxiao squirted out all the tea that he didn't have time to swallow, and the two maids beside Zhu Youxiao saw this, one hurriedly helped Zhu Youxiao Shunshun, and the other hurriedly cleaned up for Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to signal the maid to step back, and said: "The move of the seedlings is fueled, the book "Economics" cannot be put into the government school for the time being, I think it can be put into the imperial examination, as a plus point for the imperial examination, the officials of the imperial court cannot be ignorant of political economy. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"I want to know what the people think of this book?"

"The people's evaluation of this book is extremely high...... Ruan Dayue couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while, he felt that saying too high and too low might make Zhu Youxiao unhappy, "Your Majesty, even Westerners have a very high opinion of this book, saying that its status is comparable to Xenophon's "Economic Theory", and they are already translating the book "Economics" and preparing to introduce the book "Economics" to the West. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Generally speaking, I am very satisfied with the book "Economics", but in view of some doubts from officials and businessmen at present, I am ready to revise the book "Economics" and prepare to launch the second edition of "Economics" next year. ”

……

In the palace, Gu Mei read the book "Economics" the most and understood it the most.

"Your Majesty, can you divide Ci Zhi into Leng Zhou?" Gu Mei asked.

"Divide the city of Lengzhou? Why did you divide the Compassion into Leng Chau? If it is sealed to Lengzhou, it will not be easy to come back in the future. Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.

"The concubine knows that Leng Zhou is located in a remote area, thousands of miles away from the empire, and it is extremely difficult to travel back and forth, so the development is extremely slow, and in the entire empire, the development of Leng Zhou is the slowest, and the concubine hopes that Ci Zhi can solve problems for the emperor." Gu Mei said softly.

Zhu Youxiao did not immediately answer Gu Mei's words, but just looked at Gu Mei, for Gu Mei's words, Zhu Youxiao did not believe all of them, Leng Zhou in this era is not much better than Siberia, and voluntarily going to Leng Zhou can be said to be self-exile.

Being stared at by Zhu Youxiao like this, Gu Mei was also a little weak-hearted, she slowed down for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, it is indeed selfish for the concubine to let Ci Ji go to Lengzhou, but the concubine really hopes that Ci Ji can solve problems for the emperor." ”

"Listen, I want to know other reasons." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Now the princes are working hard for the country's affairs, but Ci Ji has no heart for the country, and is willing to leave Jingshi and go to Lengzhou to share the emperor's worries." Gu Mei said softly.

"Would you like to go to Lengzhou? Have you already discussed it with him? Regarding Gu Mei's answer, Zhu Youxiao did not continue to delve into it.

"As long as the emperor agrees, the concubine will go to persuade Cixi, and the concubine Cizhi will definitely agree." Gu Mei said.

"If Ci Ji agrees, I will also agree to your request and make Ci Ji the king of Xilang Continent." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The King of Silenc?"

"Yes, although Lengzhou is sparsely populated, it is a vast land, and the discovery of gold mines has made the number of immigrants in Lengzhou increase rapidly in recent years, and I am ready to set up two imperial villages in Lengzhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

……

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Gu Mei immediately found Zhu Ciwei and persuaded him to go to Lengzhou.

"Mother, why do you have to go to Lengzhou as a child? The child heard that Leng Zhou was extremely desolate, and the child did not want to go. Zhu Ciji said unhappily.

"Although Leng Zhou is extremely desolate now, but your father said that Leng Zhou is a vast land, but it has not yet been developed, the last time your father sent someone to Leng Zhou to look for gold mines, sure enough, the exploration team really found gold mines in Leng Zhou, it can be seen that your father is not wrong, now Leng Zhou is barren, no one among the princes wants to go to Leng Zhou, but for the prince, Leng Zhou is not a blue ocean, if you seize the opportunity, you can be invincible." Gu Mei persuaded him.

"Mother, but the child really doesn't want to go to Lengzhou." Zhu Ciwei said with a sad face.

"You're thinking about Kyoshi's Huahua World, right?" Gu Mei said coldly.

"Don't dare!"

"You are from your own house, and the affairs of the country have nothing to do with you. Now the emperor Shengming, I hope you can seize the opportunity, if you can go to Lengzhou, you can't say that you will break into another world, if you stay in Jingshi in the end, it will just be a wasted time, and you will be just a prince who eats and waits for death for the rest of your life. Gu Mei persuaded softly.

"Mother, are you going to Lengzhou with the child?" Zhu Ciwei didn't dare to continue to refute, so he had to say obediently.

"I won't go to Lengzhou for the time being, first, I can get 100,000 taels of silver dollars a year from Ruixiang Cotton Spinning, I will help you keep this money, if you need it in Lengzhou, I can give you money and help at any time here; Second, your father is still on the throne, you have something to do in Lengzhou, and someone in the palace can also help you talk, if I go to Lengzhou, then there will be no one in Jingshi to help you. Gu Mei explained.

"The child understands, I don't know when to go?" Zhu Cizhi asked.

"Your father has already agreed to this matter, and there will naturally be a holy decree at that time. Remember to go to Lengzhou, you can't spend as much time drinking as in Beijing, you must work hard, and I will ask your father to make you an official and a half-post. Gu Mei advised.

"The child understands!"
