Chapter 132 Confession in the whirlpool
Hundred gold, that is, 100 taels of gold.

This amount of money is not too small for Shen Yi, or for Shen Yi now.

According to the current market conditions in Jiankang, one tael of gold can be exchanged for about 11 taels to 100 taels of silver according to its fineness, and the fineness of the gold rewarded by the royal family is naturally impossible to have problems, at least it can be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver. In other words, the [-] taels of gold can be converted into at least a thousand taels of silver.

Shen Yi had been busy with Xu Fu and Dingman for several days before, hiring actors and building momentum. In the end, he finally got more than 1000 taels of silver from Zhang Delu's vendors beside the Qinhuai River.

Moreover, the more than 1000 taels of silver did not come out of thin air, but in exchange for Shen Yi selling the formula.

If Shen Yi was willing to put his heart into the "catering industry", the money that Fangzi would earn him would be far more than 700 taels of silver.

Now it is just a broken poem that has been handed down inexplicably, and it took 1000 taels of silver. For Shen Yi now, it is naturally a good thing.

But for Shen Yi, the emperor's reward is naturally not as simple as money.

Because he has an exam.

His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, since he wants to use Shen Yi's poem to make a fuss, he will definitely find a way to publicize this matter, not to mention being famous in the capital, at least it will make Shen Yi famous for a while, when the time comes...Jiankang's Most of Xuezheng, and even the chief examiner of the rural examination at the end of the autumn, will have heard of the name Shen Yi.

This is of great benefit to Shen Yi's scientific research.

Because the emperor said in the oral edict that Shen Yi was "excellent in writing".

The emperor said that Shen Yi had a good literary talent. If Shen Yi failed the provincial examination, or even the college examination, then Jiankang's academic administration and Jiankang's rural examination examiner would really have no vision at all.

Of course, this kind of benefit, I'm afraid it will stop at the rural examination.

Because the three-year examination is very "volume".

Although Chen Guo was only in the Southern Dynasty, it occupied the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and its population was 4000 to 200 million. With such a large body, only more than [-] Jinshi were recruited every three years. It can be described as "crossing a single-plank bridge", it can be said that thousands of troops are walking a tightrope!
For an exam of this intensity, unless the emperor personally sent someone to explain it, the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites would not be able to help Shen Yi cheat because of a few words or an oral order from the emperor.

In the end, it still depends on the real ability.

But these benefits are enough.

Even if only one person is selected, Shen Yi will have an "official status" and can survive well in this world. It is naturally good to be selected as a Jinshi. Be an official.

For other officials with Juren status, Qipin Zhixian may be the career ceiling, but for Shen Yi, a time traveler, as long as he is allowed to enter the officialdom, everything is possible.

However, the emperor's "oral order" was not entirely beneficial.

The most obvious disadvantage is that Shen Yi doesn't know the attitude of Prince Jin and his son.

The emperor obviously wanted to use him to "hype" the political stance of the Prince Jin Mansion, and even used this poem to directly announce the political stance of the Prince Jin Mansion. If the Prince Jin who has never met is very dissatisfied with this matter, then If Shen Yi wanted to hang around in Jiankang City, he would probably have to pass the test of Prince Jin.

After comforting Shen Zhang a few words, Shen Yi said softly: "Father, Prince Jin or Prince Jin's son probably wants to see me in a while, let's find a place to sit for a while."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Also, the baby's things have to be moved out of the guest room, or the people in the palace will find out after a while, and our father and son will lose face..."

Shen Zhang nodded quickly, stood up, and said: "The guest room has been cleaned up, father will go and take out your things."

Shen Yi nodded, and said softly: "Father, you go, I will wait here for a while."

After Shen Zhang got up and left, Shen Yi looked left and right in the yard, and then looked at a pavilion in the yard.

Sitting in the pavilion is naturally good in summer, but it is still January, and the weather in Jiankang is still very cold. Shen Yi sits under the pavilion, and the cold wind blows from time to time, making him sniff his nose.

After waiting for a while, a young man in a purple robe stood in front of Shen Yi. The young man took a serious look at Shen Yi, who was severely frozen, and then slowly said, "Shen... Yi?"

Shen Yi was lowering his head at the moment, when he heard someone calling himself, he quickly stood up, after seeing the person clearly, he slightly lowered his head to the young man, and said, "Your Highness."

The person who came was Li Mu, the son of Prince Jin.

Shizi nodded slightly, with a calm face: "You come with me, I have something to ask you."

In the mansion of King Jin, under the fence, Shen Yi naturally got up obediently, and followed behind Li Mu.

He was not panicking.

Because the emperor just rewarded him, and he rewarded him in front of the prince, even for the sake of the emperor, Jin Wang and his son would not do anything to themselves.

Ever since, Shen Yi followed His Royal Highness, and not long after, he came to a warm pavilion in Prince Jin's mansion. At this time, two stoves had already been lit in the warm pavilion, which was very warm.

There was a low table in the warm pavilion, and the crown prince Li Mu knelt and sat down on the soft cushion on one side of the low table, then pointed to the opposite side of the low table, motioning for Shen Yi to sit down too.

This kind of low table is not very commonly used in this era, only when rich people drink tea and receive guests, they will use it occasionally, and it will be retro again and again.

However, Shen Yi is no stranger to the kneeling ceremony. When he was in elementary school, he taught it. He knelt and sat opposite the prince, bowing his head slightly to His Royal Highness: "Whatever is your Highness, Xiaomin knows everything."

Li Mu took out a small pot of tea from the wooden box on the low table, and while taking the tea, asked lightly, "When did you live here?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "About the eleventh day of the first lunar month."

Shizi's movements slowed down, he thought about it, and said thoughtfully, "It's been ten days."

He raised his head to look at Shen Yi, and smiled dumbly: "I have lived in my house for more than ten days, and I have never seen you once."

Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Xiaomin has never had the chance to see his son."

The prince of Jin continued to make tea, and asked casually: "When was that...that poem written, before or after entering Beijing?"

This time, Shen Yi answered without hesitation.

"It was written after I saw the Qinhuai River for the first time in Beijing."

He looked at Li Mu with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness, after Xiaomin wrote this poem, he didn't intend to spread it. He just read it on the bridge of the Qinhuai River. Juren listened..."

"Du Shen, I know."

Li Mu let out a foul breath: "This man is well-known in the capital, and he also showed his face at the Shangyuan Poetry Fair this year. After hearing this poem, I thought it was written by Du Shen, but I didn't expect the author to live here. in my house."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows slightly, and continued: "Your Highness, about yesterday, when the inner guard found me, I realized that this poem accidentally made a big noise and reached His Majesty's ears. At that time, I thought His Majesty was annoyed by this poem. , If you want to accuse me, in order not to implicate my father, and not to implicate the Jin Palace, I did not go back to the Palace last night."

"The address I left for the inner guard is also the address I rented in the city, not the Prince Jin's Mansion."

Shen Qilang looked up at Li Mu very sincerely.

"His Royal Highness, no matter whether this matter is good or bad, Xiaomin has never intended to bring Jin Wangfu..."
