"Tomorrow, the transfer order from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Civil Service will be sent to Jingzhao Mansion."
"From now on, all the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion will be left to you."
"..."
"..."
In the study room of Jingzhao Mansion, Xu Yi leaned on the Taishi chair and slowly explained.
The January period has arrived, and Tian Yichu, the Minister of Household Affairs, submitted a memorial regarding disaster relief.
Within a few days, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment also submitted their respective memorials.
At today's court meeting, Xu Yi officially relieved Jing Zhaoyin of his responsibility as the commander-in-chief of disaster relief.
As for the person who took over as Jing Zhaoyin, it was Kai Yuan, the former captain.
Zhang Yuan nodded when he heard this and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will certainly live up to my trust."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, there was no doubt about Kai Yuan's ability.
After all, he has served as a county governor many times.
In fact, it's not like Xu Yi never thought of taking Kai Yuan to Yandi.
However, once its foundation in Yan Land is not stable, opening up the source to remove it is tantamount to overestimating resources and underutilizing them.
Secondly, during this court meeting, except for some of the traps that Xu Yi had secretly planted, all of them had been successfully implemented.
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Yi needs someone with outstanding ability and trustworthiness to control these secrets for him.
And this person, of course, must be Kai Yuan.
After the two talked for a while, Kaiyuan handed over and left.
When you are the only one left in the study.
Xu Yi crossed his hands behind his head, closed his eyes slightly and pondered the next plan.
Basic Mathematics is now in its fifth volume.
On April 30th, he sold the third volume of Basic Mathematics in exchange for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
On May 5th, he sold the fourth volume of Basic Mathematics in exchange for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Wedding on May 8th.
On May 10th, he sold the fifth volume of Basic Mathematics in exchange for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Five volumes of books were exchanged for a total of 500,000 taels of silver!
"Not enough." Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver may seem like a lot, but in fact it is just a drop in the bucket for Xu Yi's follow-up plans.
As far as Fan Yan was concerned, the biggest external threat was the Huns.
After all, after leaving Juyongguan, there is an endless prairie.
The grassland has always been dominated by cavalry.
Even counting the 4,500 horses trapped in the camp.
Xu Yiman had a total of 9,000 war horses.
It can only arm a cavalry of 6,000 people.
And it is the minimum standard of weapons.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but stand up and rubbed his brow.
In the past two years, all of Snow Salt's income has been invested in military training and the production of horses that have just started.
Of the 500,000 taels earned from selling five volumes of basic mathematics, 100,000 taels will continue to be invested in Ma Shu.
Of the remaining four hundred thousand li, half was invested in food and grass, and the other half was invested in expanding the army.
After all, Xu Yi now only has half a year's military pay and food.
We can't let the soldiers starve and start a mutiny after half a year.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of training elite soldiers or preventing mutiny, Xu Yi must accumulate food to prepare for emergencies.
Xu Yi rubbed his brows and was just about to pick up the pen and continue compiling the sixth volume of basic mathematics.
Zhao Shou, Yang Xianan and others have returned to the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou, Yang Xian'an and others saluted respectfully.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then asked: "How are the book sales today?"
Yang Xian'an took out a thick stack of silver notes from his arms and chuckled, "All sold out in less than a quarter of an hour."
"And during the sale today, an interesting thing happened."
The so-called interesting things are naturally
That Song Yuanfu.
After Yang Xian'an told everything about what happened today.
Xu Yi gradually had a rough impression of Song Yuanfu in his mind.
After Yang Xianan revealed all the arrangements.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and then praised him: "An did a good job in advance."
After finishing his words, Xu Yi continued: "Let's observe this person for a few days. After the news comes from Hedong County, we will arrange a few tests."
"If he can pass the test, this person can stay."
Yang Xian'an's face straightened, he raised his hands and agreed: "I obey the order!"
Excellent martial arts, bold and careful, if the character can pass the test.
Xu Yi doesn't mind reusing this person. After all, this kind of person is almost a natural businessman.
...
...
Time flies.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and April is about to usher in a new chapter.
In five days, three major events occurred in Chang'an City.
And everything has an inseparable relationship with Xu Yi.
The first incident occurred on April 26th.
On this day, nearly a hundred officials and hundreds of government officials in Jingzhao Mansion were collectively promoted.
The person with the lowest ranking will be promoted to one level and rewarded with ten taels of silver.
The tallest one jumped several levels, from an unknown pian to a well-known county magistrate.
This kind of collective promotion of civil servants is truly a feat that has never happened in a hundred years.
I don’t know how many low-level officials were envied at that time.
The second incident occurred on April 27th.
On this day, Xu Yi moved from the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion to the Xinyan Prince's Mansion in Pingkangfang.
Countless officials and people came to congratulate them on their move.
Even the current prince Xu Yong personally came forward to congratulate Xu Yi on his move.
Unknowingly, the words of brothers, friends and brothers Gong soon spread throughout Chang'an City with the help of caring people.
And this is obviously a counterattack by Xu Yong, who wants to kidnap Xu Yi on a moral level.
But unfortunately, it was all in vain in the end.
This level of moral kidnapping exerts no restraint on Xu Yi's heart.
For ordinary people, it is nothing more than a short-term conversation piece.
If Xu Yong cannot persevere, he will soon be completely forgotten by the world.
If you persist, it will be tantamount to siding with the enemy, and they will definitely not continue to take advantage of you.
The third incident occurred on April 28th.
On this day, the Ministry of Punishment escorted dozens of corrupt officials including Song Guogong Zhang Yongnian, as well as hundreds of subordinates involved in disaster relief, to Caishikou of Xishi City.
As hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
The Great Disaster in Guanzhong has completely become a few strokes in the history books.
Today, the fourth major event has quietly taken place in the West Market Bookstore.
...
...
The afternoon sun shines through the windowsill into the spacious and bright dining hall of Prince Yan's Mansion in Pingkangfang.
A unique copper pot is placed in the middle of the dining table.
….

Four or five plates of tender mutton and green vegetables are placed around the copper pot.
After half a year, Xu Yi and Xu Zhen's uncle and nephew once again sat together and had a meal together.
Xu Yi picked up several slices of steaming tender lamb, dipped them in garlic juice and leek puree, and then swallowed them into his mouth.
After chewing carefully several times.
He picked up the wine bowl in front of him and said, "Second uncle, it's done."
The words are over. Xu Yi ignored Xu Zhen's surprised look, tilted his head and poured a bowl of strong liquor directly down his throat and into his heart.
In just a few breaths, Xu Yi's complexion became visibly rosy.
Xu Zhen looked at the rosy-faced
Xu Yi asked in surprise: "Why are you so willing to drink so much today? Are you encountering a problem that cannot be solved?"
In Xu Zhen's memory, Xu Yi had never drank so much.
Not once.
As for the reason, the rosy complexion is the best explanation.
Xu Yi put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "We are leaving Chang'an City soon. I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink with my second uncle again in a year or two."
Xu Zhen's face paused when he heard this, he sighed slightly, and then drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"His Majesty asked you to enter the palace last night to urge you to become a vassal?" Xu Zhen asked, putting down his wine bowl.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and immediately replied: "We will set off to join the feudal clan in mid-May."
When Emperor Zhengde entered the palace last night, although he didn't say it clearly, Xu Yi couldn't understand the meaning behind his words.
"Will the vassal be established in the middle of May?" Xu Zhen asked in surprise.
Xu Yi will get married on May 8th, and will go to Yandi to join the feudal clan in mid-May.
Xu Zhen never expected that Emperor Zhengde would not even wait until the end of the month.
Before Xu Yi could speak, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Zhen's mind.
He quickly asked: "But because of your books?"
Basic mathematics, one book contains hundreds of books, and one book contains one thousand taels.
One sale is one hundred thousand taels of silver.
How could anyone not be tempted by such a lucrative business?
The only pity is that the limitations of this business are too great.
In addition, there is another point, that is, if Xu Yi is allowed to release the next volume every five days.
And the notice outside the West Market Bookstore yesterday stated that in order to combat price increase and reselling, the number of copies issued at each time was increased from 100 to 150!
One sale is 150,000 taels of silver, and if he is allowed to stay until the end of the month, he will surrender.
In May alone, Xu Yi could earn 900,000 taels.
This is enough to make many people jealous.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then stood up and served Xu Zhenman drinks.
After sitting down, he slowly spoke: "Some people are jealous and have jointly filed an impeachment letter to make me hand over complete basic mathematics."
Although Xu Yi did not continue to say the rest.
But how could Xu Zhen not understand that Xu Yi must have gone through a lot of games when he entered the palace yesterday.
Finally, we decided on a time like mid-May.
Xu Zhen opened his mouth, just when he was about to say something.
Xu Yi once again raised the wine bowl in his hand and chuckled: "My nephew, give me another drink to my second uncle."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi raised his head and drank down the drink in his hand.
As he finished the drink, his face instantly turned red.
But the strange thing is that Xu Yi's eyes didn't look drunk this time.
….

Seeing that Xu Yi was unwilling to mention the matter, Xu Zhen had no choice but to give up and drink the drink in one gulp.
Afterwards, the two of them did not talk about the court affairs again during the dinner.
The hot pot meal was spent by the two chatting about home life.
Not long after Xu Zhen was sent away.
Yang Xian'an, Zhao Shou and others returned to the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion at the same time.
In the spacious and bright study room.
Xu Yi looked at Yang Xianan and others drunkenly and asked, "How are the book sales today?"
Yang Xian'an smiled and then took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and placed them on the bookcase with both hands.
Then he replied: "Going back to Liuye, the supply exceeds the demand, and they were all sold out in about a quarter of an hour."
After finishing his words, Yang Xian'an asked in a low voice: "Do you think we should sell fifty more copies next time?"
Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Doing this kind of thing once is enough. Doing it too many times is useless."
"Yes." Yang Xian'an bowed his hands and said.
Xu Yi continued to ask: "How has Song Yuanfu performed these days?"
"Back to Mr. Liu, there is nothing unusual." Yang Xian'an replied respectfully.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then said, "I have read the letter sent from Hedong County yesterday."
"Then Song Yuanfu didn't hide anything about this matter."
"In the past few days, I have started to arrange some tests. If the test passes, I will let him come to find me."
After finishing his words, Yang Xian'an raised his hands and saluted, "Follow the order!"
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and sent Yang Xianan and Jiang Ping away.
After everyone left, the stamina of You Ning Wine was already strong.
"Master Liu, let me help you go and have a rest." Seeing Xu Yi getting more and more drunk, Zhao Shou hurriedly stepped forward.
In the master bedroom, Zhao Shou carefully placed Xu Yi on the bed.
Then he whispered: "Master Liu, please rest for a while, and I'll make a bowl of hangover soup."
After saying this, Zhao Shou carefully exited the master bedroom.
As soon as the master bedroom door closed, Xu Yi, who was supposed to be drunk, suddenly opened his eyes.
The arm shook slightly, and the dragon-tooth dagger fell instantly.
Xu Yi turned over, holding the dragon tooth dagger in his right hand, and adjusted the quilt with his left hand.
Then he closed his eyes again and pretended to sleep.
Wait until he has done all this.
Suddenly there was light footsteps outside the door.
With a creak and a soft sound, the door was suddenly pushed open a small crack.
An eye suddenly appeared outside the gap.
Those eyes were staring at Xu Yi, full of nervousness and determination.
After careful observation for dozens of breaths.
The gap in the doorway became wider and wider.
In a short time, it can accommodate a small person passing through.
A graceful figure in palace clothes slowly slipped through the gap.
Then carefully close the door.
After everything was done, the graceful figure in palace clothes turned to look at Xu Yi nervously.
Seeing that he didn't wake up, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman in palace clothes approached Xu Yi cautiously.
Just when Xu Yi was about to explode, the woman in palace clothes suddenly stopped.
Finally, he stopped only one and a half steps away from the bed.
Just when Xu Yi felt secretly puzzled.
The woman in palace clothes suddenly slowly unbuttoned her clothes.
In just over ten breaths, the woman in palace attire had only a small piece of clothing that barely covered her body.
….

The woman in palace clothes approached the bed with a determined expression.
Just when it was only half a step away from the bed.
Xu Yi suddenly turned over towards the bed.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the graceful woman.
"Get out!" Xu Yi scolded expressionlessly.
The graceful woman in palace attire was no one else. She was one of the twenty maids rewarded by Emperor Zhengde.
Xu Yi didn't know the specific name.
The reason for taking precautions in advance was simply because when he and Xu Zhen were drinking, there was an inaudible sound of footsteps outside the dining hall.
Although the footsteps were faint and inaudible, Xu Yi had been vigilant all the time since he moved into Prince Yan's Mansion.
Even the subsequent drunkenness was just a disguise to lure out the man in the dark.
What Xu Yi never expected was that the man in the dark was successfully lured out.
But the purpose of the man in the dark was not that some people jumped over the wall to kill him.
But...to...sleep with him...
To be precise, it was to ruin his reputation.
If this kind of thing were spread out at other times, the world would only say that King Yan was romantic, or that King Yan was very lucky.
But if now, before Princess Yan, whom Ming Media is marrying, has married, he will be entangled with the palace maid.
How will the world evaluate him?
This was done with the utmost malice.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..." The graceful female officer was instantly frightened to the point of pear blossoms and rain.
He was about to cry loudly.
Xu Yi's face darkened and he scolded: "Shut up!"
Seeing that crying was useless, the graceful female officer's expression couldn't help but change again.
"Your Highness, I'm offended!" the graceful female officer said with determination.
After she finished speaking, the graceful female official pulled off the last fig leaf on her body.
Then he slapped himself violently. In just a few breaths, his delicate face became swollen.
This shows how powerful it is.
Before Xu Yi could get off the bed, he rushed directly to the door.
While running, he cried loudly: "Your Highness, please don't... Your Highness, please don't do this..."
Now that things have happened, it is clear that they are trying to frame him.
Seeing that the door bolt has been removed.
Xu Yi put the dragon tooth dagger back into place with an expressionless expression.
In just a few breaths, the graceful woman rushed out of the master bedroom.
As soon as he rushed out of the master bedroom, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the main room.
After hearing the shouts, several palace maids rushed over at a very fast speed.
At the same time, a servant in the front hall came quickly holding several famous cards.
The emperor who came out of Zongzheng Temple through the ages.
