Chapter 709 General knowledge of the Ministry of Commerce
Because of the wedding ceremony, the atmosphere in the entire palace was a little different.
This time, the three concubines, as well as the biological mothers of the seventh prince, Ning Bin and Yi Bin, were among them.
Others forget about it. Yi concubine has no children, but she is still allowed to have a marriage visit. No one can guess why.
Most people thought that this might be to appease the generals.
Only Gu Jiuxing thought he might know the truth...
After all, when Emperor Ming Yan heard what Yan Shiyue said, he said with emotion: "Yueer's ability to make money is even worse than mine."
Then I put Yi concubine on the list of relatives.
But this idea was something he secretly thought about in private. After all, who would believe that the emperor asked the concubine to visit the bride in order to kill the concubine's natal family?
It was at this time.
County examinations were conducted in various places for the thirteenth year of Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty issued a special decree years ago. Starting from this year, for three consecutive years, students from the Northern Academy can take the imperial examination in Longmen County across different nationalities.
Of course, the number of children admitted will also increase according to the number of participants.
After the Longmen County examination results were released, as many as fifty-six of the children admitted were students from the Northern Academy, while Longmen County itself only admitted seventy-seven.
At the same time as the news came, Yan Shiyue's Ministry of Commerce teaching materials were finally completed.
After dinner in the evening, Huo Qijing took it out and handed it to Xu Wenqu, saying: "Sir, Yue'er said, if there are any allusions like Guan Zhong's "Follow silk and surrender to Luliang", please help me put some of them in.
."
Qu Sinian, Gu Hengsha, and Huo Qiyang all followed him to take a look.
It's a very thick stack. If it were put into modern times, it would probably be as thick as a dictionary. About one-third of the first part is Yan Shiyue's characters, and about two-thirds of the back part is Huo Qijing's characters.
When they first came in, a few people were still chatting and laughing. Gradually, they all settled in and the room became quiet except for the sound of turning books.
It can be seen that she really put a lot of thought into writing this thing.
The first is the new accounting method, and the second is a chapter-by-chapter explanation, which is easy to understand and very practical. In order to facilitate understanding, many examples are included, including the surrender of silk to Luliang, and some operations of the Ministry of Commerce.
Yan Shiyue's idea is to write two books. This one is an introductory textbook, focusing on sales, and the other one is for training "traders", covering the overall situation, current affairs, balance, etc., all
They all talk about it, well, of course, this part still only exists in her mind.
The four of them watched "Chou Zheng" for a full moment (2:15 in the morning) before finishing it one after another. Xu Wenqu finished it first, pressed his hand on the desk, and sighed: "I suddenly realized that I have wasted ten years of reading!"
Indeed, although this article is simple in terms of literature and science, if you look closely, even Xu Wenqu, who does not understand economics at all, can still get a glimpse of the basics. In Yan Shiyue's words, it is all useful information.
Huo Qiyang said: "Master, in fact, there is no need to make any big changes. Businessmen do not have to be too demanding when it comes to arts and sciences."
"Yes," Qu Sinian agreed: "Just correct the mistakes and omissions. It would be better to make it simpler."
The four intellectuals became very interested in what they said, so they simply rolled up their sleeves and copied it. The four of them separated, and they could finish copying in the morning.
Then Qu Sinian gave the newly copied edition to Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty after the early dynasty.
When Emperor Ming Yan heard that the four of them had not slept all night, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Is it really so good?"
Qu Sinian said: "Your Majesty, you will know when you look at it. I am truly impressed by it."
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty agreed with a smile, but he was busy with business and did not take care of it for the moment. He wanted to summon Xu Wenqu to give a lecture during lunch, but he heard that he had taken three days off, and it seemed that he wanted to concentrate on studying.
With such attention, Emperor Ming Yan became curious and took it to look at after eating.
Then I took a closer look and put off the things that happened in the afternoon until I saw the moon at the top of the sky.
It's really interesting, it seems like a new door has been opened, and I can understand a little bit about her previous operations.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty asked someone to send this to the prince.
Xu Wenqu spent three whole days correcting the book from beginning to end and sent it to Yan Shiyue. Yan Shiyue felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, sir, I may have to change a few more things..."
Xu Wenqu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. You just need to revise it. You can revise a book every ten or eight years. What does it matter if you revise it a few times?"
Yan Shiyue said, "Well, I'll tell you while I'm correcting it, so you'll have less trouble copying it again."
Xu Wenqu smiled and agreed, and Yan Shiyue went into the study, took the ink pen, and directly added and corrected the paper. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh: "Sir, things are really changing. In just a few days, I have
I can circle the words for you!" He said and circled something.
Xu Wenqu laughed and said nothing.
Yan Shiyue spent another two days making this change.
Then Xu Wenqu spent another two days copying out the fourth version... Yan Shiyue was extremely embarrassed and changed a few more things.
In the meantime, the fourth prince came to the door and took the third edition.
In this way, it was revised until the seventh edition, and then the draft was initially finalized and handed over for printing as soon as possible.
Yan Shiyue named it "General Knowledge of the Ministry of Commerce". It was originally written by Yan Shiyue and revised by Xu Qing. It has an index at the front and a selection of topics and reference answers at the back.
This was originally a normal operation, but before it could be printed, two unexpected guests came to the Duke's Mansion.
The seventh and eighth princes came and said to her seriously: "Sister, can you leave the sales of "General Knowledge of the Ministry of Commerce" to us?"
Meow?
Qiba is two years younger than Huo Qiyang. She is said to be ten years old, but in fact she is only nine years old. She is used to Huo Qiyang's youth and maturity, but these two... She still has the same six-faced character in her mind
What a little kid.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Who asked you to come?"
The seventh prince said: "We are here ourselves. I have asked my father, and he said you just agree..." He pulled her, winking and acting coquettishly: "Sister, just let me try, sell it."
We will give you fifty-fifty of the money."
Okay, she didn't want to use this for profit anyway.
So she said: "I can leave the matter to you, but first, the books must arrive in each city as soon as possible. Second, the selling price of a book cannot exceed thirty taels."
With the advent of movable type printing and the improvement of papermaking, the price of books has become slightly lower, but hers is very thick, so the cost is at least about ten taels.
The Seventh Prince nodded: "I know that this thing has a different meaning. Raising the price based on the availability of a rare item will damage the reputation of the court. Don't lose big for small things!"
Okay, if you have this awareness, nothing big will happen.
Yan Shiyue raised her hand and handed the matter over to him.
It's really not easy for a royal child to dare to ask for things at such a young age.
In the evening, Yan Shiyue chatted with Huo Qijing. After chatting for a long time, he didn't answer, so she asked: "Did you hear that?"
Huo Qijing had been listening to the fetal heartbeat with a stethoscope just now. He had been listening for a long time without saying anything. When she asked, he said: "I heard it."
She said: "I asked about the fetal heart rate!"
He smiled: "I can't hear you clearly. Is the child too young?"
Really? Yan Shiyue couldn't quite tell the time, so she said, "We'll listen again in a few days." As he said that, his eyelids kept closing in one place: "I'm so sleepy, I fell asleep..."
Huo Qijing hurriedly put away the stethoscope and blew out the candle. She leaned against him and fell asleep instantly.
Huo Qijing slowly put his hand on her huge belly, his fingers trembling slightly. (To be continued)
