His Royal Highness sat opposite Lin Jian, looked up at his teacher, and asked, "Mr. Lin has been living in Yuezhou for more than a year, so he has never thought of returning to the court and rectifying the court's principles?"

"You are in your prime and are just when you are teaching what you have learned in the court."

After hearing this, Lin Jian was slightly stunned, and then smiled silently: "The prince said before that I was dismissed from office by His Majesty himself, and I was not able to go back if I wanted to go back as an official."

Lin Jian is only forty-one years old this year.

At this age, he was a serious young man in the position of the Six Ministers. Because he was young, he still had a long way to go and had room for improvement. Therefore, in the prince's line, Lin Jian's status was very transcendent.

Taking a step back, even if he sits in the position of Minister of Revenue and cannot be promoted again, the power of this position is enough for him to occupy an important position in the prince's line.

"Master Lin, don't worry. Since Your Highness asked the students to come, there will definitely be a way to invite Master Lin back to Chang'an."

Li Xu first looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, then he whispered: "The Changsun of the Imperial College will retire and return home at the end of the year. This position will be vacant at that time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will try his best to win this position for Master Lin."

The Imperial College Priest, from the third rank, compared with Lin Jian's fourth rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue, apparently, it seems that he has been promoted one level, but in fact, the authority is less than the latter.

After all, the Ministry of Revenue is the real yamen in charge of affairs, and the Imperial College is just the highest educational institution in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the Imperial College priests are not without benefits. Every year, a large number of officials will graduate from the seven schools under the Imperial College and then enter the Great Zhou court. In other words, as long as you serve as a priest for a few years, you will accumulate a lot of connections and become the "principal" of the younger generation in the court.

Lin Jian glanced at Li Xu slightly and said with a smile: "Scholars all over the world want to be the position of Imperial College Priest, so I am no exception. But even His Royal Highness, it may not be easy to get this position."

"It's only May, and I'll talk about it at the end of the year. If the court really wants me to be the head of the Imperial College, I will naturally not have any objection."

Compared with the six practical yamen such as the Six Ministry, the position of the Imperial College Supervisor can accumulate a lot of reputation in a short period of time. If Lin Jian successfully reaches this position, the power of the prince and his group will suddenly increase in the future.

Li Xu sat opposite Lin Jian and whispered: "Master Lin is right. Even His Royal Highness, it is very difficult to take this position. Therefore, His Royal Highness needs the cooperation of Master Lin. Now there is still half a year before the end of the year. In the past six months, Master Lin will contact old friends in the court and let them speak for Master Lin in the court at the end of the year."

Once there is a vacancy in the position of Imperial College, the new candidates are generally elected by the court. If enough ministers stand up and speak for Lin Jian, it will be much easier for His Royal Highness to do things.

Lin Jian frowned slightly.

No matter what he does in his life, he will be smooth sailing and rarely asks for help. He really can't help but asks him to write a letter to ask for help because of an official position.

However, the position of the Imperial College Priest was indeed a little moved.

This Yuan Dagong sat in his seat, slowly drank a cup of tea, and suddenly thought of his junior.

The position of Imperial College is always a respected person.

In other words, as long as he has enough reputation, it will be much easier to sit up.

Lin Jian frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's not very urgent to write a letter or not. However, there is a junior in my Lin family who has created a novel thing. If it can be done smoothly, it may be helpful to this matter."

Li Xu's eyes lit up and he asked, "What is Master Lin talking about?"

Lin Jian shook his head slightly: "I promised him and couldn't tell anyone."

"My junior, my family is a little poorer, and he is still counting on making money by making money in this novel thing. I have made an agreement with him that he will not announce this thing within three years."

"Three years..."

Li Xu frowned slightly and said, "It's only half a year, and it's definitely not enough three years."

Lin Jian nodded silently, then looked up at Li Xu, and said with a smile: "Have your prince brought the money?"

Li Xu was slightly stunned, then nodded quickly: "I went out from Chang'an and brought a lot of money by my side. How much does Master Lin want?"

"I don't want money."

Lin Jian smiled and said, "My junior is a person who loves money. If His Royal Highness brings enough money, I can take His Royal Highness to meet him and talk to him about this."

Li Xu smiled on his face: "When students were in Chang'an City, they liked these novel things. I want to see what novel things are that can make Master Lin praise him like this."

Lin Jian's face was calm and said, "I can take Your Highness to see, but I have to explain it clearly to Your Highness in advance."

"Master Lin's order is it."

Yuan Dagong frowned slightly and said, "I had a three-year agreement with him. It was difficult to open this question, but now things happened suddenly. But since you have gone, you can't force him. After your highness saw that thing, it would be easy to talk about it. If the talk was not done, don't tell it out."

Speaking of this, Lin Jian stood up from the chair with a serious voice.

"Mr. Lin is a sage in Yuezhou for the rest of his life, and he cannot be a villain just because of the position of priests of the Imperial College."

Li Xu also put away his smile and bowed deeply to Lin Jian: "Students are taught to obey orders."

Lin Jian then smiled at Li Xu: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way. First have a lunch at the mansion and rest. I will take you to see him in the evening."

Li Xu came from Chang'an all the way, indeed a little tired. He bowed and smiled and said, "Everyone follows Master Lin's arrangement."

……………………

Compared to the lively atmosphere of Xingwenfang, Lin Zhao's life is still as usual. He found a huge piece of red paper, and then wrote the big words "Five-per-sale on "Blue Mountain Collection" on the paper in a 50% discount", making it possible that it was the first promotional billboard of this era.

In a few days, when the Blue Mountain Collection in the workshop is printed, this promotional billboard will be of great use.

It was almost evening before he had completely finished the billboard and put it in the warehouse of the book shop. After all the book shops were cleaned up, Lin Zhao locked the door and went home as usual after getting off work.

When passing by a pastry stall, he spent eight copper coins to buy a small bag of pastries and prepared to take them home as snacks.

By the time he returned to the door of his cottage, the sky was already a little drizzled and was about to get dark.

But what is strange is that the door of Lin Zhao's hut was quite bright.

Boss Lin first stretched his head and looked at his door, and saw at least a dozen big men standing at his doorstep with lanterns, illuminating his hut like daylight.

There were two people dressed by scholars standing at the door of their house.

One of them had sharp eyes and immediately saw Lin Zhao in the crowd, waved to Lin Zhao and said, "Sanlang, you are back."

"Come here quickly."
