The courtyard in front of the inner hall is very elegant, and the round flower bed is bathed in the bright afternoon sun.

A little girl in a pale blue dress appeared in the green brick road, the sun falling on her red face, beads of sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose.

But I saw that she had a money bag in advance and was trotting towards this side. But I don't know if it's because the money bag is too heavy, or the fleshy body is too tired, she exhales in five steps and exhales in five steps, but the speed really can't be considered slow.

The eyes of the three of them fell on this small figure that suddenly appeared, and they didn't understand why she appeared here, let alone her intention to rush here.

In the blink of an eye, the tiger girl had already run to the inner hall, and greeted Wu Shan in the hall panting: "My lord...... Good! ”。 As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her money bag, looked up at Lin Haoran proudly and said, "Brother, look! ”

"It's ...... Money? Lin Haoran took the money bag, and immediately looked at the tiger girl's red face in shock, with a smug look hidden between her eyebrows, as if she was waiting for a compliment.

"Of course!" Hu Niu's cute nose snorted lightly, and then took Lin Haoran's hand and said anxiously: "Brother, you go and let the carving workshop print another thousand copies now, and I have received all the deposits!" ”

Sold out? Got a deposit?

When Lin Haoran heard these words, his face was also shocked. Although he was very confident in "Talking about the Past and the Present", he never expected that it would be so popular that it would be sold out so quickly.

If someone else said this, he would definitely suspect that the other party was lying, but it was Hu Niu, a little girl with a straight intestine, who said this.

Xu Yuanping, who was standing next to him, heard this, and immediately said mockingly: "Little girl, you just brag!" In just a few moments, you'll be able to sell out a thousand copies? ”

Hu Niu shook her head violently, and saw that it was Xu Yuanping, she heard her brother say that he was not a good person, and immediately argued: "Why am I bragging, don't you believe it, go to Fuxue Palace to have a look, some people say that they are willing to buy one or two books!" If it hadn't sold out, I would have sold more!"

"Fuxue Palace?"

Xu Yuanping and Lin Haoran were stunned, but they didn't know why this girl wanted to go to Fuxue Palace.

Wu Shan knows more than these two people, today is the release period of the government exam, and there must be a sea of people in front of the palace of the house. There are thousands of scholars there, and it is indeed a great place to sell books.

As soon as he thought of this, his eyes fell on the book "Talking about the Past and the Present" on the case. Previously, he only noticed the "Hanlin Academy Repair and Inspection Hall System" on the cover, but he never read the contents of this book.

Either out of prudence, or out of re-evaluation, or just a little curiosity, I saw Wu Shan reach out and pick up the publication on the case, and read it carefully.

When Wu Shan opened "Talking about the Past and the Present", Hu Niu explained: "Of course it's Fuxue Palace!" Today, I took 500 copies and sold them out in a while, and a few bookstores approached me and said they wanted to buy from me! ”

"Impossible! This kind of broken book can't be so sought-after! Xu Yuanping was stubborn and shook his head categorically and said.

"Who said that it was a broken book, and would so many people buy a broken book? You're a red-eyed book, my brother made a good book! Hu Niu fought the basis of reason, and was not afraid of Xu Yuanping at all.

In her opinion, this person must be a bad person, and the last thing she is afraid of is a bad person. If it weren't for her martial arts, she would have to teach this bad guy a good lesson like those heroes who hide evil and promote good.

was so confronted by a little girl, Xu Yuanping's face was not good-looking, and he immediately said coldly: "No matter what, this book must be destroyed in the name of Hanlin Academy!" ”

"You think beautifully, how can such a good book be destroyed! Brother, let's hurry up and go to the carving workshop, people are still waiting there! Hu Niu grabbed Lin Haoran's hand and said that she was going to pull him out of here.

The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness, although this girl has full of energy, she is still too young after all. She didn't know that this matter was actually related to the political struggle, and she didn't know that the decision to print it was not in her brother's hands.

"Then you go to the Guozijian Engraving Workshop to print it!" Xu Yuanping looked at the brother and sister playfully, and also saw that Lin Haoran didn't dare to move, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Although the sales of the books were unexpected, this kind of publication was after all under the banner of the Hanlin Academy, and with his understanding of Wu Shan's stubborn character, he categorically would not accept such a new thing.

In fact, as early as when Lin Haoran announced that he was going to carry out a new plan, he guessed that Lin Haoran must have lied.

Wu Shan is a very traditional Qingliu, not only strict with himself, but also with his subordinates, so he adheres to the principle of sufficient for Yulu. It is absolutely impossible to instigate Lin Haoran to find a way to make money, so as to help everyone increase their income.

Even if the sales of "Talking about the Past and the Present" are booming now, even if Lin Haoran really finds a new way to make money, Wu Shan will not change his original intention, and will never allow books under the banner of Hanlin Academy to appear.

Lin Haoran sighed deeply, and was about to refuse the tiger girl, when suddenly a voice sounded: "You go!" ”

What the?

Xu Yuanping's smug expression was replaced by shock, and he slowly twisted his neck in disbelief, looking at Wu Shan sitting upright in the hall, as if his ears had misheard.

Lin Haoran was also surprised, and looked at Wu Shan sitting in the hall in great surprise, his face was still tense, but it was not as annoying as before.

Wu Shan met the two shocked eyes, but in fact, he was also bitter in his heart.

He has always advocated "honesty and selflessness", but today's imperial court finances are unable to make ends meet, and they have to bear the big burden of the clan. Now, not only can many livelihood problems not be solved, but even officials' salaries can no longer be distributed.

If the most basic livelihood of officials cannot be guaranteed, then how can they survive, how can they stick to their principles and be a good official who asks for the lives of the people?

It is precisely in this way that after realizing the seriousness of Daming's finances, many of his concepts are quietly changing, and he is no longer as reluctant to the problem of money as before.

"Yes! Disciple retires! ”

Lin Haoran didn't know Wu Shan's inner world, but a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, and he saluted him seriously, and then took Hu Niu's little hand and left together. When he turned around and saw Xu Yuanping, who was stunned, he immediately felt a surge of refreshment in his heart.

How so?

Xu Yuanping still hadn't recovered his soul yet, his eyes looked straight at Wu Shan, and he suddenly found that this old man was a little unfamiliar, no longer the old old-fashioned one he was familiar with.

"Go down!" Wu Shan's gaze moved to Xu Yuanping and said in a deep voice.

"Ah...... Be! Xu Yuanping followed his gaze and saw disgust in the other party's gaze, and a chill instantly surged into his heart, but he had to bow and retreat.

However, he knew that his actions today might have left a bad impression on Wu Shan, and he would definitely be deducted points in the dispute with Cao Dazhang.

What hit him even more was that he originally thought that he could easily kick this newcomer flat, but when he kicked down, he found that he didn't kick anything, and he was punched hard in the face.
