Zhu Yunxi didn't understand the rules here and thought that Zhu Zhi was crazy. Is such a small thing worth thanking?

But other people understand, especially those scumbag princes, who are so envious and jealous that they want to go to Qianqing Palace to report him with his real name.

Just thinking about their father's violent temper made them dare to curse in their hearts.

Zhu Yunxi was also very dissatisfied, because before Zhu Yunxi became smarter, the "top" ranking had always been his!

Although he could not use this "top" rank, and his mother-in-law's status as the Crown Princess meant that he could not make the most of this position, he just wanted to compete and make his mother-in-law proud of him.

However, Zhu Yunxi would rather give his ranking to others than to his own brothers, which made him very angry!

Qi Tai also knew the rules inside, so when he heard Zhu Yunxi's reminder, he gave Zhu Zhi the only "A-level" spot without hesitation.

Firstly, it was to commemorate Zhu Zhi's contribution to laying the paper for him, and secondly, it was to help Zhu Yunxi gain some popularity.

Although the position of heir has not yet been decided, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Qi Tai finished writing this month's test book, handed it to Eunuch Qin, and announced that school was over.

The princes and grandsons in the main hall bowed to Qi Tai and then ran away cleanly.

Only Zhu Yunxi and others stayed, planning to burn the midnight oil and try to write tens of thousands more words, at least enough to make one engraving.

Zhu Yunxi sent someone directly to the imperial dining room and asked the imperial dining room to deliver dinner to the main hall.

Zhu Gui also took charge of liaison with the banking bureau and sent the manuscript to them for printing.

Wages can be raised, but they must be raised quickly!

While the four copyists were busy working overtime, Zhu Yuanzhang was having afternoon tea while reading the test book handed over by Qin Deshun.

In fact, before looking at the test book, Lao Zhu already had the answer in his mind, but he just wanted to confirm it for himself.

However, when he opened it and saw that the person at the top was that bastard Zhu Zhi, he felt as if he had eaten fly shit.

I went to see a certain nun-sun again, and I only got one. The comment was that he missed too many classes and often asked for leave due to illness. Although his homework was good, this trend should not be allowed to increase.

This is the beauty of change, it comes from one mind.

As a teacher, it is not easy for Qi Tai to find the shining points of his students, but if he wants to find their shortcomings, he can easily find them.

What's more, Zhu Yunxi was not a good student to begin with, he was full of problems.

"Qin Deshun, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask if this child is really sick recently?"

"promise!"

Not long after, Qin Deshun returned to Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, this old servant has asked. His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun did take several sick days in the past few days, but the problems were not serious. He only had occasional headaches and fever."

After Qin Deshun went out, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of what he had seen on the city gate tower before, Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunxi skipping class and going to play outside the palace.

Therefore, now that I heard Qin Deshun's report, I am even more convinced that this grandson is pretending to be sick and skipping classes.

I couldn't help but snorted in my heart. When we are done with this period of time, we must find time to deal with that grandson!

Qin Deshun presented the harem roster as usual.

"Your Majesty, which concubine do you favor tonight? I can inform the nobles in the harem to prepare in advance."

"Concubine Han!"

"No matter what tricks that bastard Zhu Zhi uses, we still have to support him!"

"Okay!"

"Old slave, go and inform Concubine Han right now, so that Concubine Han can prepare immediately!"

When Concubine Han learned about this, she was overjoyed.

Recently, His Majesty has never set foot in the harem because of the prince's affairs. She didn't expect that the first person to be favored would be herself. How could this not make her extremely happy?

After learning that this opportunity was earned by her son who studied hard and achieved the "top" rank, Concubine Han felt even more happy, which aroused the jealousy of the concubines in the harem.

Several people in the main hall started writing the book again after dinner. Finally, before the palace door was locked, they completed the first two volumes of the 60,000-word manuscript and handed it over to the Bank of China for printing.

With the support of powerful printing capabilities, this new book was printed in less than two days.

In order to quickly open up the market, Zhu Yunxi ordered someone to post a notice directly at the entrance of the Imperial College, offering those who could change the word "Jin Ping Mei" a reward of twelve taels of silver!

The students of the Imperial College were no strangers to Sanwei Bookstore. When they saw the notice posted like "giving away money", they rushed into the bookstore unceremoniously to buy books.

Because of their experience in "Fights Breaking the Sphere", each of them was very confident. Even if they were faced with a common storybook for one tael of silver each, they would not hesitate to buy it.

In their opinion, the book owner of this shop wrote a rubbish book. Not to mention changing a single word, it would be effortless for them to rewrite the entire book.

The one or two silver dollars spent on books now can be earned back in less than a day.

What's more, their store also supports returns and refunds. As long as you are not satisfied after reading the book, you can return it at any time within twelve hours after purchasing the book.

Therefore, as soon as "Jin Ping Mei" came out, it triggered a rush of people.

Shop clerk Jin Yi was confused when he saw this posture and kept reminding him.

"Dear guests, you must remember this when you buy the book. The money for the book will not be refunded after twelve hours!"

"Bah!"

"Why do you, the waiter, look down on people so much!"

"How can it take twelve hours for me and the supervisor to read the verbal essays written by your master? This scholar can read them all in less than an hour!"

"When the time comes, don't make any excuses, such as saying you won't return the book if it's broken at the corner!"

Others heard the words and also agreed.

"Brother Hai is right. It takes less than half an hour to write such a succinct article. We can read it several times, so it won't take twelve hours!"

Jin Yi saw everyone saying this, so he could only keep the books, collect money, and then sell books.

After selling out all one thousand copies, Jin Yi sat dejectedly on a chair in the shop, melancholy thinking about how much money his Highness would have to pay this time...

In Jin Yi's opinion, within a day, all those who bought books today would have to come back to return them.

If they just withdraw the book, that's it. What they fear most is that they will find a bunch of mistakes and ask His Highness to pay the reward.

Although ten taels of silver is not much to change a word, it cannot support the large amount.

A book with 30,000 words does not need to be more. As long as you find three to five hundred errors, you will have to pay three to five thousand taels of silver.

After all, I am also a gold medal clerk in the Jingcheng dialect circle. I was forcibly recruited here by Jin Yiwei. The salary is quite generous, and the commission... Forget it, the bookstore has lost so much money, how can we still have the nerve to ask for a commission...

…

Early the next morning, as soon as Jin Yi opened the gate, he saw dozens of people gathered outside the door.

When he saw so many people, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It’s over!

These must be all for returning books!

Full of depression, Jin Yi opened the money box and prepared to refund everyone's money, but everyone stopped him as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chapter completed!
