Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 53

Wei Yu hurried into the hall.

This is already the third time he has entered this hall in these two days.

It is more comprehensive than his previous seven years as the deputy of the Shaofu.

Of course, now that he is one of the honorable Nine Ministers, Lord Shaofu, there will definitely be many opportunities to come here in the future.

"Your Majesty, I have news about the printing of books to be reported to Your Majesty!"

As soon as Wei Yu entered the hall, he shouted excitedly.

Zulong sat on the dragon chair and hummed lightly: .

"What's the matter?"

Wei Yu's face was gloomy, but his tone could not hide the excitement: .

"Your Majesty, the warehouse of the Royal Workshop is too small, and now it is full of books. I don't know how to solve it!"

Wei Yu bowed his head, hiding his uncontrollable smile.

He seemed to ask Zulong for help, but in fact he was showing off that his printing went so smoothly that he couldn't even fit it in the warehouse.

Zu Long nodded slightly: .

"Zhi Zhi Su Neishi allocated 5000 taels of gold to expand the warehouse."

Afterwards, Zulong asked again: .

"Wei Yu, how is the printing of books?"

Wei Yu got what he wanted, and he didn't go around in circles: .

"Your Majesty, the printing of the book is going well!"

"The first batch of printed legalist classics "Shang Jun Shu" has printed 40 copies!"

"The follow-up "Han Feizi", "Fa Jing" and other books have also completed typesetting and can be printed at any time!"

Zulong is very satisfied with the printing of the books.

He does not want to announce movable type printing and papermaking for the time being, so only the Royal Workshop should be able to print books in the future.

The speed of the workshop determines the effect of the Daqin imperial examination and the cultivation of folk studiousness.

"Very well, I have already inspected several merchants, you only need to contact them when you go down, and sell these books throughout the country as soon as possible!"

Wei Yu's face visibly collapsed: .

"Your Majesty, those merchants are all full of money, and dealing with them is really..."

The social class system of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce has also been practiced in Daqin for hundreds of years.

Businessmen are indeed rich and live a comfortable life, but this does not prevent them from becoming the bottom end of the chain of contempt in society.

Especially officials like Wei Yu are unwilling to contact businessmen.

As we all know, Daqin officials have only one purpose in approaching businessmen: to ask for bribes.

He doesn't want to be seen as a corrupt person.

Wei Shaofu has just come to power, and is still in the stage of cherishing feathers.

Zu Long knew his worries and said: .

"Wei Qing is an upright person, and I have always known it. As for these businessmen, they are also citizens of Great Qin. As long as they can contribute to our Great Qin, what's the point?"

His words vaguely awakened Wei Yu.

A reputation for corruption or incorruptibility is irrelevant.

As long as Zulong believes in him, no matter how many people impeach him, he will be safe and sound.

On the contrary, no matter how good the reputation is, as long as Zulong doesn't trust it, it is useless.

Wei Yu immediately resigned, and then called the businessman's representative to meet at the official residence.

Wei Yu asked the merchant about his sales plan.

At this time, the businessmen only have a rough plan.

They plan to target the county towns of the 49 counties of Daqin, and use their existing stores as the basis for sales.

Now the people of Daqin don't know much about books, so opening a special bookstore is bound to lose money.

So they will first open up an open space in the current store.

Lay shelves for books in the open space.

In this way, both costs can be saved, and the benefits of books can also be demonstrated through the flow of customers in other stores.

Wei Yu agreed with this.

However, he still knew Zulong's bottom line, especially emphasizing that the profits of the books sold should not be too high.

Although the businessman spoke bitterly for a long time, Wei Yu didn't let go at all.

He knew Zulong's purpose.

If these businessmen use this method to make money and increase the price of books by a large margin, the imperial examination will be frustrated...

Then Wei Yu has several heads that are not enough for Zulong to chop off!
After handling the government affairs, Zu Long went out of the palace to look for Qin Mu.

He found that now he had to see Qin Mu once a day, and sometimes even several times a day!

Even Li Si, Meng Yi and other important court officials have never seen such diligence.

Zu Long wondered in his heart what reason he should use to reward Qin Mu.

After all, I voted for so many schemes in vain, and I didn't seem to have given anything except 1 taels of gold...

Qin Mu was not at home, Ada told Zulong that Qin Mu had gone to the Fangshi Medical Center.

He came to the medical hall, opened the curtain and walked in.

Qin Mu is treating people.

Zu Long didn't bother him either, but just sat quietly beside him.

"You are wind-cold. Take [-] baht each of plum root, osmanthus heart, and thenardite, one or two each of Ophiopogon japonicus, and licorice, boil it with three liters of water to make one liter, divide it into five servings, and take it internally."

"Try not to go out of the house after returning home and sweat more."

"Next person!"

"You are..."

Every patient is grateful to Dade.

After a while, the curtain of the medical hall was lifted, and a man who looked like a scholar walked in coughing.

The scholar cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Mu: "Master Qin, excuse me."

Qin Mu obviously knew him, and greeted him, "Fu Sheng, are you coughing again?"

"Yeah, I was a little excited the day before yesterday, so I had to disturb Mr. again."

Qin Mu sighed slightly: "Didn't I tell you that you can't fluctuate too much with your illness! Why are you getting excited again?"

Fu Sheng laughed twice, and said: "If it was something else, Fu Sheng would definitely not be like this. It's just that the news he got the day before yesterday made Fu Sheng deeply feel that death is worth it."

"What news?" Qin Mu asked curiously.

Fu Sheng looked proud: "I, Da Qin, will implement the imperial examination!"

As soon as these words came out, both Qin Mu and Zu Long had strange expressions on their faces.

I only heard Fu Sheng continue to say: "My Majesty the First Emperor of Qin has a great talent and general plan. With the implementation of the imperial examination, there will be no shortage of talents in the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"It is the luck of all the humble scholars in the world to be born in Your Majesty's Great Qin!"

Before Qin Mu could respond, Zu Long had already nodded frequently.

"This scholar has some knowledge!"

Fu Sheng glanced at Zu Long: "This is..."

Qin Mu replied: "My father, leave him alone, just keep talking."

Fu Sheng lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Do you know that there is another rumor in the market?"

"What rumor?"

"It is said that the imperial examination system was not created by His Majesty, but by an expert behind the scenes!"

Qin Mu said with a strange face: "It's true."

Fu Sheng didn't care, just sighed: .

"It's a pity that such a tall man can't be seen!"

"This person is not in the temple, but he has such a lofty vision, he can propose such a policy that benefits the country and the people!"

"My teacher once commented that the imperial examination is beneficial for thousands of years. Once this plan is made, the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty will be established!"

"Since then, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have no power to stir up trouble."

"This expert almost rewrote the future of my Huaxia by himself!"
