I Become A Saint By Studying

‘Is the emperor here? '

Lin Yunhong was stunned for a moment, a little happy, and quickly said, "Let him in!"

Ning Zimin, Minister of the Household Department, said, "Your Majesty, that old minister..."

"Don't be in a hurry to go back. It just so happens that Lin Jieyuan is also here. You can talk to him if you have any questions."

Lin Yunhong wanted to see if Lin Yi could handle Ning Zimin, it was a test for him.

Now it's just a court minister.

In the future, what he will face is not one, but hundreds of court officials, and that will be the biggest test.

"it is good!"

After Ning Zimin heard His Majesty's words, he immediately became interested.

...

Lin Yi entered the imperial study room, just about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Zimin standing beside him.

He had seen this person at the great court meeting where His Majesty beheaded the rebels.

"Sir Lin Yi, greeting Your Majesty!"

Before Lin Yi bowed down, Lin Yunhong held him up with a gentle force and said, "Excuse me!"

"Lin Jieyuan entered the palace to seek an audience, why?"

Lin Yi carefully took Dayan's first weekly report from his pocket, handed it to Lin Yunhong, and said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, this is the first weekly report printed by Dayan Weekly."

Ning Zimin, Minister of the Household Department, stretched his neck when he heard the words.

"Oh? The Ministry of Industry is not slow!"

Lin Yunhong's eyes lit up. Although Zhang Judong was making trouble in the household department, he did things clearly.

He took the weekly newspaper and read it carefully, unable to hide the relief in his eyes.

He read these three articles, and his emotions could still have huge fluctuations. After reading the officials and common people of Dayan, as well as those scholars, the effect was undoubtedly greater.

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Yunhong wished to make a fuss, and carefully handed the weekly newspaper to Mei Zheren, saying, "Show Shangshu Ning."

When Ning Zimin solemnly accepted the weekly newspaper, Lin Yunhong gave Lin Yi an encouraging and affirmative look.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty is satisfied, and his heart is more than half stable.

Ning Zimin was not very optimistic about the Dayan Weekly, although it was useful to the court.

It is really troublesome to operate, and the manufacture of movable type is a huge consumption of manpower, material and financial resources.

Even because of this incident, Zhang Judong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, wanted to demolish the yamen of his household department.

Under His Majesty's strong pressure, he has already allocated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, as well as the rice paper and ink purchased by the household department from various places...that's all money.

But now, Ning Zimin looked at the weekly newspaper in his hand, and his skinny hands couldn't help trembling slightly.

In the end, the body was trembling.

"His Majesty……"

Plop!

What shocked Ning Zimin was not the weekly newspaper itself, but the three articles in the weekly newspaper.

He was in tears.

Those shocking numbers are fresh lives.

common people.

Chivalrous man.

Longwei...

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he naturally knew about the demon incident in Nanxiang Mansion, but the Zhenfu Division and the Ministry of Punishment did not announce it.

In addition to the incident of the female academicians in Jintian Prefecture, he also heard about it, but he never expected that the officials of Jintian Prefecture were so rotten.

Even the academy has done this kind of thing that both people and gods are angry with.

If such a thing is not made public, it is tolerating evil.

Lin Yi looked at Ning Zimin who knelt down and cried, and naturally knew why he was moved.

This is Dayan with a lack of information, what did the court do, what did His Majesty do.

It will always be circulated among small circles.

People outside can only guess or inquire about it based on the slightest sign of trouble.

But he felt that the response of the Minister of the Household Department was a bit exaggerated.

Too much force?

"Subjects, get up!"

Lin Yunhong said softly, he is not a tyrant, and his tyranny will always only be aimed at officials who are on a vegetarian diet.

I am also a little grateful for Ning Zimin, a veteran of the two dynasties who is capable of doing things.

A lot of things can be done for him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed!"

Ning Zimin stood up, wiped away his tears, and said, "The old minister knows Lin Jieyuan's thoughts, and also knows the significance of Dayan Weekly to the court."

talking.

Ning Zimin bowed to Lin Jieyuan and said, "Lin Jieyuan, it is a blessing for the court to have a rookie like you. If the household department has surplus food, it will definitely support you with all its strength!"

‘If I said it, I didn’t say it, I’m really rich, I hope you always remember...’

Lin Yi complained so much in his heart, but he still replied, "Master Shang Shu has a heart."

Ning Zimin felt ashamed.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is here, Lin Yi can discuss the price of the next weekly newspaper. He said, "Now the first batch of movable type plates and type models from the Ministry of Industry have been sent to Dayan Weekly. When the printing workers recruited tomorrow are in place, they can be printed in large quantities."

"It just so happens that the Minister of the Household Department is also here. The students want to know what is the appropriate price for this weekly newspaper?"

Lin Yunhong nodded slightly, looked at Ning Zimin and asked, "What do you think of Ning Shangshu?"

Hubu Shangshu calculated the cost in his mind, and quickly gave the answer, "In my opinion, the layout of this weekly newspaper is novel, and the handwriting and articles are excellent. The old minister feels that even a scholar with Insight can increase a little bit of talent..."

"The price starts from one tael of silver, and the old minister thinks it is very suitable."

This word is too beautiful, and the layout is relatively new.

He was in a happy mood when he saw it, and it would be a waste if the price was too low. With the family background of those scholars, a tael of silver is nothing at all.

"no!"

Lin Yi firmly refused.

"Uh?"

Ning Shangshu looked at Lin Yi in astonishment, the money sold would eventually be handed over to the state treasury.

This is to increase the background of Dayan.

Who would dare not buy the Dayan Weekly Newsletter led by His Majesty? Once every seven days.

One million weekly newspapers is one million taels of silver.

If the printing is not enough for one million copies, people from his household department will help with printing, and even officials will take the lead in lending money to the court.

Lin Yunhong didn't make a statement, but looked at Lin Yi and said, "Lin Jieyuan, tell me your reasons."

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu's price is too outrageous."

Lin Yi shook his head, and said sternly, "The students are from the bottom of Dayan, and they know that life is not easy for the common people. One tael of silver is all the expenses of a family of five in Dayan for a month."

"Students can't do it to buy a piece of paper and ink like this for a family without food or drink for a month."

"The students are very puzzled. How did Master Shangshu do it, dare to ask for a price of one or two silver?"

Lin Yi is not afraid of offending people.

Hubu Shangshu is so old, and he can still stay in the court, so he must have the ability.

But he didn't know how hard the lives of the people of Dayan were.

"Lin Jieyuan, you..."

Ning Zimin was slapped mercilessly by Lin Yi, and his affection for Lin Yi also faded too much.

He said sternly, "I admire you very much. You are so talented at such a young age. It is a great fortune for the court to have such an idea and deed. Once this weekly newspaper is published to Dayan officials and scholars, it will be a huge benefit for the court."

"Ordinary people are illiterate, but literate people can afford a tael of silver."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs calculates clearly and plainly through the taxes paid by the local governments every year, that the average annual income of the common people is as high as more than ten taels per person."

"For a family of five, the share is fifty taels, and there is more than thirty taels of silver left over every year. It takes only one tael of silver to know about the big and small affairs of the court. How outrageous is that?"

Ning Zimin, as the Minister of the Household Department, knows very well that the people of Dayan are actually doing well.

Poor people are nothing but lazy!
