The biggest officials all the students could meet in their respective hometowns were nothing more than five-rank academics. Now they were being pointed out by a group of officials from the ministry, and they were inexplicably excited. They immediately bowed and said, "Students, please remember the teachings of your lords."

In a group of people, there is always someone who is smart, or who claims to be smart.At that moment, a square-faced, slightly short and slightly dark-skinned man stood up and pointed at Shen Shiyi, "Master Butang is so approachable. As a descendant of Mr. Butang, you have not only failed to learn a little or two of the character of a master, but disturbed you." Chaotang, let the Lord of the Ministry be in the dark, if I were you, I would have resigned in shame, and thought about it behind closed doors, how could I provoke wind and rain in front of everyone!"

"That's right, for some people, even if the official robe is darkened, it's in vain."

"You little girl, it's better not to jump out and become a clown. Do you think that someone will look up to you because you do some economic articles? Others just look at the face of the minister and don't bother to talk to you. If you are sensible , go back to the boudoir earlier, so as not to get married in the future, and humiliate the reputation of the minister!"

Qin Zhan's face turned black, but Shen Shiyi stood up first, staring at the teacher's instructions, and sneered, "It seems to be true that scholars say that scholars are wronging the country with empty talk. You people don't know the world and the truth I don’t know what it means to just follow other people’s rhetoric! To be an official is not something you can do just by writing beautiful articles. You only have the ability to talk. Go back to the academy and talk to you fellows. Don’t come out and make people laugh. !"

"You!" The slightly dark complexion immediately turned black and red, "You little girl, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, I don't know what to say! What I wait for Jinxiu Wenwen to do is to save the world and save the country, how could you be so full of me?" Can a businessman with a bad reputation be compared? Great things in the world can’t be done just by earning a few filthy money!”

Shen Shiyi smiled, "It seems that you guys still know me well."

The child blurted out, "Who doesn't know that you are a cloth dealer in Jinmen, a mere merchant, and you have the face to be an official in the court and talk about economics? Do you know that the money and food in this world are all raised by the Ministry of Households. Officials Salary, disaster relief in various places, distribution of military pay, do you understand these? Don’t you just earn a few stinky money and think you are capable? What a joke!”

Qin Zhan's black face couldn't hold back any longer, and he pulled Shen Shiyi behind him, "You mean that His Highness recommends Shen Shiyi, Mr. Shen, but the recommendation is wrong?"

The child was squinting at Shen Shiyi and the man behind her, when he said "Your Highness", the man's eyes almost twitched, and he quickly bowed down, "Students don't dare, students don't mean that."

At this time, Xie Qingshan came forward to smooth things over, "Fourth Highness, these sons and daughters are eager to serve the country, and they may be a little young and immature, so what they say is not serious, but there is no doubt that they are loyal to the court."

After all, it was the old fox, who put on a tall hat when he opened his mouth, and set Qin Zhan up.

Qin Zhan squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Qingshan, "Xie Shangshu said that as long as someone has a heart for the court, they should point at the noses of civil and military officials in the court, and everyone should accept it with humility, right? Well, let's start organizing the Jingzhong Juzi tomorrow." , to speak freely in the Chengming Palace, I must be so close to the disciples, Mr. Xie, such trivial matters should be arranged, right?"

Cold sweat dripped from Xie Qingshan's forehead. He knew that the Fourth Prince was a man of his word. If he was really asked to arrange this matter, all civil and military officials in the court would offend him.

At that moment, Xie Qingshan bowed, "The fourth prince has a good opinion, it's because the lower officials have misconsidered. Qian Ning, why don't you apologize to the fourth prince!"

The red-faced Juzi immediately wanted to plead guilty, but Qin Zhan flicked his sleeves, "Don't plead guilty to me, what you said and who you should plead guilty to is up to you."

The lifter looked at Shen Shiyi, gritted his teeth and dared not speak.

He patted his chest in Jinxiu Zhao and promised Xie Shangshu that he would teach Shen Shiyi a lesson and make her retreat in spite of difficulties, but if he bowed his head now, what face would Xie Shangshu have for him to go?Xie Shangshu's relationship here is broken, and it doesn't make much sense whether he participates in the imperial examination this time.It is said that Xie Shangshu is about to enter the cabinet, even if he is in high school, the cabinet ministers don't need to say a word, just look at him, even if he becomes an official, he has no future at all.

But the fourth prince... glanced at the fourth prince's face, Qian Ning's face was dark, and he wanted to apologize to Shen Shiyi.After all, life matters.

"Forget it!" Shen Shiyi's words brought Qian Ning back to life in an instant.

Shen Shiyi looked at Qian Ning with a happy face, "Didn't you say that economic articles are useless? The Xie Shangshu in front of you has contributed to making new salt, and I heard that he will be recommended to the cabinet. Why does the new salt have such a great contribution?" ? Isn’t it to open up money channels for the court? Since you look down on my economic trail, naturally you also look down on Xie Shangshu?”

Qian Ning's heart was like riding a roller coaster, tossing and turning, dying and dying again, he felt that his internal organs were burning, his mind went blank on the spot, and he didn't know how to fight back.

Fortunately, the companion around him is still righteous at the moment, looking at Shen Shiyi, "Salt has been the foundation of people's livelihood since ancient times, Xie Shangshu's move is not only for the economy, but also for the common people in the world to eat cheap salt. It is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!"

Xie Qingshan twirled his beard and smiled, but Shen Shiyi let out a "tow", "What is it for the country and the people? If it is really for the people, then why are these salts sold to those big merchants, ordinary people, none of them? Open your eyes and see Look, who are those who buy salt?"

Everyone looked at Shen Shiyi's hand, and sure enough, those who came to line up to buy salt were all well-known big merchants in Kyoto, and among them, there was even the shopkeeper of Jinxiuzhao, which everyone was very familiar with.

Xie Qingshan's face turned dark, and the new salt tasted light, and was considered to be a more advanced and delicious thing than the previous salt. Therefore, the first batch of salt buyers were all major merchants who had gone through the door.Now being pointed out by Shen Shiyi, Xie Qingshan was a little embarrassed.Although this is not a big deal, it's hard to say. As a minister of the household department, does he still have to flatter merchants and treat the common people differently?

The act of saving Qian Ning was quite quick-witted. Immediately, he untied his purse, "I still have ten copper coins in my hand. I wonder if I can buy new salt?"

Yuanwailang behind Xie Qingshan was also clever, and immediately stood up, "Of course, ten copper coins can buy two catties! Anyone who wants to buy salt, come with me!"

At that moment, this Yuanwailang took a bunch of items to the exit of the warehouse to register to buy salt.

Seeing the person who had vowed to teach him a lesson went to buy salt, Shen Shiyi looked puzzled and said nothing.

Xie Qingshan also stroked his beard, and nodded to the calm Qin Zhan with a smile.

After a while, all the masters came over with a new bag of salt, and looked at the soft persimmon Shen Shiyi. All the people present were big shots, and Shen Shiyi was their stepping stone.

"Miss Shen, how about it, I bought two catties for ten copper coins, which is [-]% lower than the salt price in my hometown!"

Qian Ning also followed suit, "Miss Shen, look, this big bag of salt can feed a family of five for a year! Master Shangshu's move is really beneficial to the country and the people!"

Shen Shiyi gritted his teeth, "That's right, you bought the salt made by Master Shangshu, but you must confess it, worshiping it every day, maybe it will bless you for the rest of your life!"

Xie Qingshan waved his hand kindly, "Shi Yi, you're being angry again, the salt is naturally eaten when you buy it back, and it's not something expensive, so how can you give it up?"

All the disciples agreed, "Of course, when we go back, we will use the new salt for cooking and eat, and taste how good the new salt developed by Mr. Butang is!"

Shen Shiyi continued to be ambiguous, "Then you have to be careful, you can't import anything casually. Why don't you leave your address, and I'll send a doctor to the door tomorrow, so that you don't come to Beijing without relatives and no reason, and no one will know if you die in the house !"

"Shiyi!" Xie Qingshan scolded with a straight face.

Shen Shiyi curled his lips and stopped talking.

That Qian Ning is a broken-mouthed person, "We all live in Huangmen Alley, the fourth house in the alley, Miss Shen cares about me, I'm ashamed to accept it, and tomorrow I will wait for Miss Shen to send someone to give us the pulse of Qingping."

Shen Shiyi gritted his teeth, "Of course, ordinary doctors are not good enough. I will invite the doctor in charge of Huichun Hall to come to your door tomorrow and give you a pulse!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Shiyi turned around and got into Qin Zhan's carriage. Qin Zhan glanced at everyone, and under the trembling eyes of everyone, he also got into the carriage.

"Little Fox!"
