Chapter 196: Miscalculated

"Tomorrow, the order of the Ministry of Officials' Literature and Selection, and the Order of the Qing Officials Division will be transmitted to Jingzhao Mansion."

"In the future, all the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion will be handed over to you."

「......」

「......」

In the study room of the Jingzhao Mansion, Xu Yi leaned on the Taishi chair and explained slowly.

The January period has arrived, and with the submission of the report on disaster relief, the head of the household.

In a few days, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also submitted their respective memorandas one after another.

At today's court meeting, Xu Yi officially unloaded the burden of Jing Zhaoyin and the commander-in-chief of disaster relief.

And the person who succeeded Jing Zhaoyin was the former governor Zhang Kaiyuan.

Hearing this, Zhang Kaiyuan nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely live up to their trust."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, Zhang Kaiyuan's ability is naturally undoubted.

After all, he has served as a county warden many times.

In fact, Xu Yi didn't think about taking Zhang Kaiyuan to Yandi.

But first, its foundation in Yandi is not stable, and Zhang Kaiyuan goes to it, which is tantamount to overkill.

Second, in this court meeting, Xu Yi secretly planted the shadows, except for some that were originally used to confuse the enemy, the rest of the shadows have successfully landed.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Yi needs a person with outstanding ability and trust to control these secrets for him.

And this person is naturally none other than Zhang Kaiyuan.

After the two talked, Zhang Kaiyuan left.

When you are the only one left in the study.

Xu Yi crossed his hands behind his head, slightly closed his eyes and pondered his next plan.

Basic mathematics is now in its fifth volume.

On April 30, the third volume of basic mathematics was sold for 100,000 taels of silver.

On May 5, the fourth volume of basic mathematics was sold in exchange for 100,000 taels of silver.

The wedding was held on May 8.

On May 10, the fifth volume of basic mathematics was sold in exchange for 100,000 taels of silver.

Five books in exchange for a total of 500,000 taels of silver!

"It's not enough." Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and muttered in a low voice.

500,000 taels of silver seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is just a drop in the bucket for Xu Yi's follow-up plan.

As far as the domain is concerned, the biggest threat from the outside is the Xiongnu.

After all, out of Juyong Pass, there is an endless prairie.

And the steppe has always been the world of cavalry.

Even if you count the four thousand five hundred horses that fell into the camp.

Xu Yiman has a total of 9,000 war horses.

It was only enough to arm a cavalry of 6,000 men.

And it is still armed to the minimum standard.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but get up and rub his brows.

In the past two years, all the income from snowflake salt has been invested in military training and the horse lance that has just begun to be made.

Of the 500,000 taels from the sale of five books of basic mathematics, 100,000 taels will continue to be put into the horse lance.

The rest were collected for 10,000 taels, half of which was invested in grain and grass, and half in the expansion of the army.

After all, Xu Yi only has half a year's military salary, grain and grass.

You can't let the soldiers go hungry and make a mutiny after half a year.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of training elite soldiers or preventing mutiny, Xu Yi must accumulate food for emergencies.

Xu Yi rubbed his brows, just when he wanted to pick up the pen and continue to compile the sixth volume of basic mathematics.

Zhao Shou, Yang Xian'an and others have already returned to the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou, Yang Xian'an and others saluted respectfully.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then asked, "How are the books selling today?"

Yang Xian'an took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his bosom and chuckled, "All sold out in less than a quarter of an hour."

"And when it was on sale today, an interesting thing happened."

The so-called interesting facts are of course

That Song Yuanfu.

As Yang Xian'an told everything that happened today, he told everything about it.

Xu Yi gradually had a general impression of Song Yuanfu in his mind.

After Yang Xian'an will deploy all the words.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and then praised him: "This is a good job."

After the words fell, Xu Yi continued: "This person will observe for a few days for the time being, and after the news from Hedong County comes, a few tests will be arranged."

"If he can pass the test, he can stay."

Yang Xian'an's face was straight, and he agreed, "Obey!"

Martial arts are superb, bold and careful, if the character can pass the test.

Xu Yi doesn't mind reusing this person, after all, this kind of person is almost a natural businessman.

......

......

Time flies.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and April is about to usher in a new chapter.

In five days, a total of three major events occurred in Chang'an City.

And everything has an inseparable relationship with Xu Yi.

The first incident took place on April 26.

On this day, nearly 100 officials and hundreds of officials in Jingzhao Mansion were collectively promoted.

The lowest official is promoted to one level, and the reward is ten taels of silver.

The highest one jumped several levels, from an unknown warden to a well-known county magistrate.

Such a collective promotion of civil servants is truly an unprecedented feat in a century.

For a while, I don't know how many low-level officials I envied.

The second incident took place on April 27.

On this day, Xu Yi moved from the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion to the New Yanwang Mansion in Pingkangfang.

There are countless officials and people who came to congratulate the housewarming.

Even Xu Yong, the crown prince of the dynasty, personally came forward to congratulate Xu Yi on the joy of housewarming.

Unconsciously, the words of brothers, friends and brothers soon spread throughout Chang'an City with the help of well-intentioned people.

And this is obviously a counterattack by Xu Yong, who wants to kidnap Xu Yi at the moral level.

But unfortunately, in the end, it was just a failure.

This level of moral kidnapping cannot produce the slightest restraint on Xu Yi's heart.

For ordinary people, it is just a short-term after-dinner conversation.

If Xu Yong can't persevere, he will soon be completely forgotten by the world.

If it persists, it is tantamount to being an enemy, and it will definitely not continue to be the wrongdoer.

The third incident occurred on April 28.

On this day, the Criminal Department escorted dozens of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, including Song Guogong Zhang Yongnian, as well as hundreds of servants involved in disaster relief, to the entrance of the Xishi Caishi.

As hundreds of human heads fell to the ground.

The Guanzhong catastrophe has completely become one of the few strokes in the history books.

And today, the fourth major event has been quietly staged in the West Market Book House.

......

......

The afternoon sun shines through the windowsill in the spacious and bright dining hall of Yanwang's Mansion in Pingkang Fang.

A chic-shaped copper pot is placed in the middle of the dining table.

….

Four or five plates of tender mutton and green vegetables are lined up around the copper pot.

Xu Yi and Xu Zhen's uncle and nephew sat together again after half a year.

Xu Yi picked up a few slices of steaming tender mutton, dipped it in garlic juice and leek puree, and then swallowed it in his mouth.

After chewing it several times.

picked up the wine bowl in front of him and said, "Second uncle, it's done."

The words fell. Xu Yi ignored Xu Zhen's surprised eyes, and tilted his head and a bowl of liquor went directly down his throat and into his lungs.

In just a few breaths, Xu Yi's complexion became visibly rosy to the naked eye.

Xu Zhen looked at the ruddy face

Xu Yi was surprised: "Why are you kid willing to drink a lot today? Got a problem that you can't solve?"

In Xu Zhen's impression, Xu Yi had never drunk so much.

Not once.

As for the reason, the ruddy complexion is the best explanation.

Xu Yi put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Isn't it about to leave Chang'an City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink with my second uncle in a year or two."

Xu Zhen's face turned pale when he heard this, sighed slightly, and then drank all the wine in the bowl.

"Last night, His Majesty sought you into the palace and urged you to be vassal?" Xu Zhen put down the wine bowl and asked.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then replied, "I will leave for the domain in mid-May."

Entering the palace last night, although Emperor Zhengde did not say it explicitly, how could Xu Yi not hear the meaning of the words.

"Domain-wide in mid-May?" Xu Zhen asked in surprise.

On May 8, Xu Yi got married, and he will go to Yandi in mid-May.

Xu Zhen never expected that Emperor Zhengde would not even be willing to wait for the end of the month.

Before Xu Yi could speak, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Zhen's mind.

He hurriedly asked, "But because of your books?"

Basic mathematics, one hundred books, one thousand taels.

One peddling is 100,000 taels of silver.

With such a profitable business, who can not be impressed.

The only pity is that the limitations of this business are too great.

In addition, there is another point, that is, if Xu Yi is asked to sell the next volume every five days.

And yesterday's notice outside the West Market Book House has already stated that in order to crack down on reselling at a higher price, the number of copies issued each time has increased from 100 to 150 copies!

A peddle is 150,000 taels of silver, and if you let it stay until the end of the month, you will be vain.

In May alone, Xu Yi was able to earn 900,000 taels.

That's enough to cause a lot of people's eyes.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then got up to fill Xu Zhen with drinks.

After taking his seat, he slowly spoke, "Some people are red-eyed and jointly write a letter of impeachment, wanting to make me turn in the complete basic mathematics."

Although Xu Yi did not continue to say the rest of the words.

But how could Xu Zhen not understand that Xu Yi must have experienced a game when he entered the palace yesterday.

In the end, it was decided that the middle of May would be such a time.

Xu Zhen opened his mouth, just about to say something.

Xu Yi raised the wine bowl in his hand again and chuckled, "Nephew, I will give the second uncle another glass."

After the words fell, Xu Yi raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.

As the wine was drunk, his face instantly turned red.

But the strange thing is that this time Xu Yishuang didn't have much drunkenness in his eyes.

….

Seeing that Xu Yi was reluctant to mention this matter, Xu Zhen had no choice but to give up, raise his head and drink the wine.

After that, the two did not talk about the court again.

A hot pot was spent in the chatter of the two.

Soon after sending Xu Zhen away.

Yang Xian'an, Zhao Shou and others returned to the backyard of Yanwang's Mansion at the same time.

Spacious and bright study room.

Xu Yi looked at Yang Xian'an and the others with a little drunkenness and asked, "How are the books selling today?"

Yang Xian'an smiled, then took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms, and placed them on the book with both hands.

Then he replied: "Back to the sixth master, the supply exceeds the demand, and it will be sold out in about a quarter of an hour."

After the words fell, Yang Xian'an asked in a low voice, "Do you want to sell another fifty copies next time?"

Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "This kind of thing, it's enough to do it once, and it's useless to do too much."

"Yes." Yang Xian'an bowed.

Xu Yi continued to ask, "How is Song Yuanfu doing these days?"

"Back to the sixth master, there is no abnormal behavior." Yang Xian'an replied respectfully.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then said, "I've already read the letter from Hedong County yesterday."

"Then Song Yuanfu didn't hide anything in this matter."

"These days I will begin to arrange some temptations, and if they pass through temptations, let him come to me."

After the words fell, Yang Xian'an bowed his hand and said, "Obey!"

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and sent Yang Xian'an and Jiang Ping away.

After everyone left, the stamina of Youning wine had already risen.

"Sixth Master, I'll help you go to rest." Seeing that Xu Yi was getting more and more drunk, Zhao Shou hurriedly stepped forward.

In the master bedroom, Zhao Shou carefully placed Xu Yi on the bed.

Then he said in a low voice: "Sixth Master, you rest for a while, and I'll go cook a bowl of sobering soup."

After the words fell, Zhao Shou cautiously exited the master bedroom.

As soon as the door of the master bedroom was closed, Xu Yi, who was supposed to be drunk, suddenly opened his eyes.

The arm shook slightly, and the dragon's tooth dagger fell in an instant.

Xu Yi turned over, holding the dragon's tooth dagger in his right hand, and adjusted the quilt with his left hand.

Then he closed his eyes again, and fell asleep.

When he's done with all of this.

Suddenly, there was the sound of light footsteps outside the door.

There was a creak, a soft sound, and the door was suddenly pushed open by a small crack.

An eye suddenly appeared outside the gap.

The eyes stared at Xu Yi deadly, and his eyes were full of nervousness and determination.

After a few dozen breaths.

The gap in the doorway grew wider.

In a short time, it was enough to accommodate a small person to pass through.

A graceful figure dressed in palace clothes slowly drilled through the cracks.

The door was then carefully closed.

After everything was done, the graceful figure in the palace costume turned to look at Xu Yi with a nervous face.

Seeing that he hadn't woken up, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The woman in the palace dress cautiously approached Xu Yi.

Just when Xu Yi was about to burst out, the woman in the palace costume suddenly stopped.

Eventually, it was only one and a half steps away from the bed.

Just when Xu Yi was secretly puzzled.

The woman in the palace dress suddenly slowly unbuttoned her clothes.

In just more than ten breaths, the palace woman was left with only a small shirt that barely covered her body.

….

The woman in the palace dress resolutely approached the bed.

Just half a step away from the bed.

Xu Yi suddenly turned over towards the bed.

Then he opened his eyes and looked at the graceful woman.

"Get out!" Xu Yi scolded expressionlessly.

The graceful palace woman is not someone else, but she is the female official among the twenty palace maids rewarded by Emperor Zhengde.

What is the specific name, Xu Yi is unknown.

The reason why he would take precautions in advance was nothing more than because when he was drinking with Xu Zhen, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the dining hall.

Although the footsteps were weak and inaudible, how could Xu Yi stop being vigilant all the time since the moment he moved into the Yanwang Mansion.

Even the subsequent drunkenness is just a disguise to lure the person out of the shadows.

What Xu Yi never expected was that the person in the secret was successfully introduced.

But the purpose of the secret man was not to jump over the wall and kill him.

But...... In order to...... Sleep with him......

To be precise, to ruin his reputation.

If this kind of thing spreads out at other times, the world will only say that King Yan is romantic, or King Yan is not blessed.

But now, Princess Yan, who is marrying Ming Media, has not yet passed the door, and he is entangled with the palace maid.

What will the world say about him?

This move is extremely vicious.

"Temple...... Your Highness......" The graceful female official was instantly frightened by the pear blossoms and rain.

They will break their voices and weep loudly.

Xu Yi's face sank, and he scolded, "Shut up!"

Seeing that crying was useless, the graceful female official's face couldn't help but change again.

"Your Highness, offended!" The graceful female official said resolutely.

As soon as the words fell, the graceful female officer tore off the last fig leaf on her body.

Immediately deleted a few slaps on his face, and in just a few breaths, his exquisite face was swollen.

It can be seen that the force is huge.

Without waiting for Xu Yi to get out of bed, he rushed directly to the door.

As he ran, he cried loudly, "Your Highness, don't ...... Your Highness, don't do that......

Now, it is clear that he wants to frame him.

It was seen that the deadbolt had been removed.

Xu Yi expressionlessly put the dragontooth dagger back into place.

In just a few breaths, the graceful woman had already rushed out of the master bedroom.

As soon as he rushed out of the master bedroom, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the main house.

Several palace maids heard the shouts and rushed at a rapid speed.

At the same time, a servant in the front hall hurried in with several copies of the name thorns.

The first emperor of the ages who came out of Zongzheng Temple.
