I Become A Saint By Studying

at this time.

Ministry of Industry.

After calculating the cost of making movable type plates and type models with Mr. Shi Lang, Chen Jingzhi suddenly felt dizzy.

Because the material of the typeface cannot be ordinary wood, it will be deformed after being stained with ink, and even the texture of the wood itself will be carried.

This does not meet His Majesty's request.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry used extremely expensive materials, and even engraved miniature formations on the entire movable type.

When the typeface is loaded into the movable type, it will be automatically aligned, and only then can the finished weekly report be pleasing to the eye.

But the cost is too great.

A pair of such type models and movable type plates cost more than 100,000 silver.

Ten copies is more than one million.

One hundred copies is more than ten million.

The household department is poor now, and I heard from the minister who went to the household department to ask for money, that several rats in the treasury have died...

"Chen Jingzhi, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, is in the Yamen? Your Majesty calls!"

Chen Jingzhi heard the voice outside the palace, and hurried out. When he learned that His Majesty was calling again, he hurriedly followed the eunuch who summoned him into the palace.

In the Ministry of Industry.

Many officials looked at Chen Jingzhi enviously.

"Where is this Doctor Chen Sacred?"

"I haven't been to the Hanlin Academy to stay with the Imperial College. I heard that he was suddenly promoted from the county magistrate."

"This is too outrageous. Why does His Majesty favor him so much? Judging by his age, he is probably the youngest doctor among the six departments of the imperial court."

Many officials talked a lot and wanted to know why Chen Jingzhi was so favored.

...

Royal study.

When Chen Jingzhi saw His Majesty Lin Yunhong, he felt a little nervous for no reason.

"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask you a few words."

Lin Yunhong looked at Chen Jingzhi with a smile, and said, "You are the county magistrate in Pingle County, and you are very popular with the people. I want to know how they are doing? Apart from being bullied by unscrupulous scholars, what difficulties are there?"

When Chen Jingzhi saw that His Majesty mentioned the life of the people, his expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the people are suffering!"

"Oh?"

Lin Yunhong frowned.

"The life of the common people is monotonous, boring and poor. They work every day at sunrise and rest at sunset. For them, there is no food to eat on the day they don't work."

"Because there is no surplus food in the family, I have to eat every day, and there are wives, children and parents in the family. The burden of the whole family is on one person."

"Your Majesty may not understand that when I go to the people's house as a guest, I see that the people's house will leak, use a wooden basin to catch water, the bowl is missing corners, and it will scratch my mouth if I eat too fast. The dishes are oily... ..."

When Lin Yunhong saw Chen Jingzhi say these words, his eyes were flushed, and there was strong unwillingness and pain in his eyes.

Lin Yunhong clenched his fists under his sleeve robe, and said, "The household department said that the people of Dayan live and work in peace and contentment. I have been to some people's homes, and they are not as miserable as you said."

"I have drank wine and eaten game with the people..."

Chen Jingzhi plucked up his courage and interrupted Lin Yunhong, "That's fake!"

"That's your majesty, you go to the folks. Someone has already arranged everything and will guide your majesty to a certain people's house."

"Does your majesty think that there are wine and meat in the common people's house, and the children are very happy to eat?"

"That's because your Majesty has gone, and they can take this opportunity to eat delicious food that they can't eat in their entire lives."

Chen Jingzhi laughed at himself, and said, "They ordinary people, how can they compete with us scholars and officials?"

"If we are not so rich, how can we get their turn?"

"If we don't leave behind the wealth of our children and grandchildren, where will it be their turn?"

Chen Jingzhi looked at His Majesty with red eyes, and said, "Of course, what I'm talking about is only the poorest people. Your Majesty's benevolent government these years, most of the people can still survive..."

Lin Yunhong felt that his shoulders were heavy, and he was almost out of breath, so he murmured in a low voice, "It's just... can I live?"

It turns out that the one or two taels of silver that the emperor said already gave me a lot of face.

"I know!"

Lin Yunhong just wanted to make an order to ask the Ministry of Households to investigate the living conditions of the people in various places in Dayan, and let the Yamen support those poor people.

But it was only then that I remembered... the war in the north, the snowstorm in the south, and the high salaries for recruiting scholars over the years.

The national treasury has already been emptied, and if you want to support it, you have to wait for the tax revenue in the coming year.

Lin Yunhong stood up, turned his back to Chen Jingzhi, and said, "Back off!"

"Yes, I will leave!"

Chen Jingzhi bowed and retreated.

In the empty imperial study room, Lin Yunhong tightened his regular clothes, he felt a chill for no reason.

"I seem to be quite hopeless..."

Lin Yunhong looked at the map of Dayan River and Mountain Society hanging on the wall, and laughed at himself, "The second issue of Dayan Weekly is my crime, and I feel ashamed of the people of Dayan."

...

the next day.

Lin Yi arrived at Dayan Weekly's official residence early, but Zheng Yu and the others did not expect to be earlier.

One by one is full of enthusiasm.

He bit the bun and went to the printing workshop.

Not long after, Li Wenbo, the commander of Longwei, also entered the mansion with the recruited workers.

"Master, according to your request, except for a few ordinary scholars, the others are ordinary people in the capital, and the conditions are not very good."

Lin Yi looked at the group of people, nodded and said, "Wenbo, take them to the printing workshop, let Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce take them."

"Now there are too few movable type plates and type models, you can learn first, divide into two batches, and print alternately for six hours during the day."

"The day after tomorrow is the day when the Beijing Cultural Association will be held. Try to print tens of thousands of copies first. I will be of great use!"

"Okay, Grandpa!"

Li Wenbo immediately took these people to the printing workshop.

"Suddenly I'm looking forward to the day when Wenhui will come..." Lin Yi chuckled.

Since these scholars are so rich, shouldn't it prevent him from making a fortune?

Dayan Weekly, edited by His Majesty, I ask you if you want to buy it.

A tael of silver?

Do not!

Souvenirs from the Wenhui, and His Majesty's autograph again, do you want to take a tael of silver away?

I want to fart!

...

Lin Yi stood at the door of Dayan Weekly's mansion, looking at the plaque covered with red silk.

On the streets of Huangcheng, many high-ranking officials passed by here, and they all discussed it.

Is the Jiaofang Division going to reopen?

Then save a little more money, which must be more exciting than the oiran lady in Hongxiufang.

"After they know that this is Dayan Weekly's report, they will probably run away in fright."

Lin Yi smiled.

Not long.

Chen Jingzhi also came to the mansion of Dayan Weekly with the results of the calculation.

"Master Chen, morning!"

Lin Yi was waiting for him at the door. After taking him to the own public house, he asked, "How is it? Has Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, approved the start of construction?"

"Sorry Your Highness, the Ministry of Households does not give money, and the Ministry of Industry has no way to purchase materials."

Chen Jingzhi sighed, quite helplessly.

Lin Yi had expected this result a long time ago, and Ning Shangshu, the Ministry of household affairs, was stunned by him.

But that's okay.

From now on he will make his own money.

"It's okay, but you have to help me carve this seal, one day!"

Lin Yi gave Lin Yunhong's autographed paper to Chen Jingzhi.

"what is this?"

Chen Jingzhi was a little confused, picked up the autographed paper and looked at it, then let go suddenly.

It was as if he had touched a soldering iron, but then he suddenly realized that this was a disrespectful act, so he cupped his hands in panic, looked at Lin Yi in a panic, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this is not the time!"
