Chapter 2063 Novel

Although he can get support from his marriage to the Lingnan Su family, they will never provide him with glaze products worth 1.2 million taels of silver every year like Song Yan did.

In addition, Song Yan's own strength is very powerful, even much stronger than that of the late Grandmaster. If such a person becomes his son-in-law, it will be a great help to him.

Therefore, after some weighing, Cao Kui no longer felt embarrassed and directly agreed to Song Yan's marriage proposal.

Song Yan said again: "By the way, Your Majesty, I already have a wife in my family. The senior sister will marry her and her status will be the same. There is no distinction between big and small!"

Hearing this, Cao Kui's face darkened: "Ziyu, Jing'er is also a dignified princess after all. If she marries into your Song family and becomes a child, how can I, Prince Yan, retain the dignity of my family?"

"Ten more pieces of colored glaze will be added every year!" Song Yan said. Since Cao Kui has the intention to rebel, he will never give up on him. The other party said this because he wanted more benefits.

"Ziyu, why don't you divorce your wife?" Cao Kui said again.

In response to this, Song Yan was not angry and said with a smile: "You can't abandon the wife of a chaff. Besides, my parents died at the hands of bandits back then. If my father-in-law hadn't supported me, I would have starved to death. In this way, Every year I add twenty pieces of colored glaze, totaling 1.5 million. If the prince doesn’t agree, I will have no choice but to elope with my senior sister!”

Hearing Song Yan's threat, Cao Kui had no choice but to agree: "Okay, considering your deep love for Jing'er, I will agree to this marriage, but Ziyu, if Jing'er marries your Song family If you feel wronged in the slightest, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

Song Yan said again: "Your Majesty, I have to go to the Taiyuan University in Beijing to study. The marriage between my senior sister and I has been decided. How about I marry my senior sister after I pass the Jinshi examination?"

To this.

Cao Kui naturally had no objection.

Afterwards, Song Yan said goodbye and left, and the next day, he sent the batch of colored glaze to Prince Yan's Mansion.

The reason why Song Yan encouraged King Yan to rebel was just to see how much luck he could get by usurping the country. If the luck gained was considerable, he would support people from neighboring countries to usurp the country a few more times, so that he could gain more luck. transport.

After staying in Panyang County for two days and accompanying Cao Jing around, Song Yan got up and headed to the capital.

With the speed of his Taoist Golden Pill, he reached the capital in less than half a day with all his strength.

The capital of Weiguo is still relatively prosperous. It is said that the population has exceeded five million.

First, he found an inn to stay, and the next day, he went to Taiyuan College to register. He had a letter of recommendation from Cai Zixiao, and he was also eyeing the names of Xie Yuangong and Cai Zixiao's disciples, so the admission was quite successful.

After completing the formalities, he became a glorious Taiyuan student.

The school provides dormitories for two people to a room.

The school also has a canteen.

However, these have to be paid separately, but they are not expensive, only one tael of silver a year.

The principal of Taiyue College is called Jijiu, and he also has an official position, and he is still a third-rank official.

Let’s talk about the official ranks of Weiguo, ranging from the first to the ninth rank.

For example, the county magistrate of Huangshan County is the ninth-grade county magistrate, because Huangshan County is a lower-level county, while the county magistrate of a medium-level county is the eighth-level county, and the county magistrate of a superior county is the seventh-level county.

The county magistrates of both low-level and medium-sized counties can be held by juren, but the county magistrates of top-level counties must be held by Jinshi.

But becoming a Jinshi does not mean you can become an official.

Generally, only first-class and second-class scholars will be directly assigned official positions by the court.

The top three are the top three, namely the top pick, the second pick, and the top pick.

These three people usually start from the Hanlin Academy, and the highest official position in the Hanlin Academy is only the sixth rank, and the ordinary Hanlin is only a seventh-rank official.

But no one dares to underestimate a Hanlin, because today's Wei Guoge boss was born from the Hanlin. Therefore, the Hanlin Academy is called the Prime Minister's Academy.

The second-level Jinshi will be assigned to serve in the six ministries. If they reach the top, they can also serve as ministers of various ministries.

But compared to Mr. Ge, he was a step behind.

The so-called minister with the most powerful position is to enter the cabinet.

The top three Jinshi can seek the position of county magistrate, or become a minor official in the capital. However, it is not easy to become a capital official because promotion in the capital is fast.

As for being sent abroad, it is still not easy. After all, so many Jinshi will be selected within three years, and there are only so many official positions. Therefore, only those with connections or money can successfully be sent abroad to serve as county magistrates. .

Back to business.

After successfully registering at Taiyuan University, Song Yan checked out of the inn and moved to Taiyuan University.

The Jinshi examination is still three months away, so he still needs to study at Taiyuan College for three months.

"Hello, I'm Yan Gui, what do you call me brother?"

After Song Yan entered the dormitory, he saw his roommate, a black-faced scholar.

"Hello, Brother Yan, my name is Song Yan!" Song Yan responded with a smile.

After some small talk, the two quickly became familiar with each other. Yan Gui has been studying at Taiyuan University for more than three years. After he failed to take the Jinshi exam last time, he has been studying hard at Taiyuan University and trying to take the exam again this time.

When Yan Gui found out that Song Yan had already passed the exam before he was fourteen years old, Yan Gui couldn't help but flashing envy and admiration in his eyes. Unlike him, he was now twenty-seven years old. If he failed the exam again, he would have no choice but to After leaving the capital, after all, although the cost of studying at Taiyuan University was not high and he was extremely frugal, after three years, he had almost spent all his money.

"Brother Song, let's go to the cafeteria together!" Yan Gui suggested as it was approaching noon.

"good!"

Song Yan nodded and followed Yan Gui to the cafeteria.

There are not many people in the cafeteria, because most of the people who come here to eat are students from poor families.

The food tastes average and can barely be eaten.

After dinner, Yan Gui took Song Yan around the college and told him that there were teachers in Taiyuan College every day, but it was up to the individual whether to go or not.

After all, those who study at Taiyuan University are those who have gained fame and are preparing for exams.

Regarding this point, Song Yan prefers it.

After thanking Yan Gyu, he went straight to the college's library.

The collection of books here is very rich, with tens of thousands of books.

Song Yan picked out a few anthologies and looked through them. If he liked them, he would scan them directly into the system, and if he didn't like them, he would just put them down.

As evening approached, Song Yan walked out of the library. Nearly a hundred books were scanned in the system, and it would not be too late to integrate them at night.

Thinking of Yan Gui's skinny body, Song Yan walked out of the academy and bought some food and wine from outside. He happened to catch Yan Gui going to the cafeteria to eat, so he said: "Brother Yan, I have packed food and wine from outside, why don't we eat together?" !”

Smelling the aroma of the food in Song Yan's hand, Yan Gui swallowed his saliva, but finally shook his head: "No, I'd better go to the cafeteria!"

"Brother Yan, you don't need to be polite. We both sleep in the same room, so why should you be polite? Besides, the food I packed is quite generous. If you don't eat it, it will be wasted, right?"

While talking, Song Yan couldn't help but pull Yan Gui back to the house and enjoy wine and food with him.

That night.

Song Yan spent more than a hundred points of luck to fuse the books scanned from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and then wrote an article on the second day. However, he felt that his article was becoming more and more superb, and it was not difficult to become a Jinshi. .

A few days passed by in a flash. During this period, Song Yan also went to listen to the lectures of teachers from Taiyue College, but he did not gain much. This made him feel bored and wanted to cause trouble.

suddenly.

He had an idea in his mind.

So he went to Yan Gui and asked, "Brother Yan, how is your painting skills?"

"Not bad!"

Yan Gui said.

"Then do you want to make money?"

Song Yan asked again.

Yan Gui's eyes lit up: "Brother Song, does he have connections?"

He is very poor now. If he does not win the Jinshi this time, he will not have travel expenses even if he returns to his hometown.

"I wrote a novel, but I need someone to do some character illustrations. How about you do the illustrations?"

Song Yan said.

"this?"

Yan Gui couldn't help but hesitate, but he didn't think about it for long before he agreed because he really wanted money.

With a little luck, Song Yan directly embodied a novel he had read in the apocalyptic plane.

And the name of this novel is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

He handed the novel to Yan Gui and said, "Brother Yan, read the content first. After you finish reading, you can then make illustrations for the main characters in it!"

As an orthodox scholar, Yan Gui was somewhat disdainful of reading materials like novels, but after just flipping through the pages, he was attracted by the plot in the book.

then.

Two days later, Song Yan met Yan Gui, whose eyes were as red as a rabbit.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Song Yan asked.

"Brother Song, your novel is so well written. Now when I close my eyes, every character in the book will appear in my mind!" Yan Gui said with a sigh.

"When will Brother Yan be able to become an illustrator?"

"I'll take a nap first, and when I wake up, I'll start painting!"

"Brother Yan, just rest!"

In the past two days, Song Yan was not idle. Instead, he funded the purchase of more than ten bookstores in the capital at high prices.

As long as Yan Gui writes out the illustrations, he can let the system scan them and then directly form them into books, even without printing.

The system has the ability to self-absorb the vitality of heaven and earth.

So it can be scanned and converted into physical objects.

Five days later.

Yan Gui drew more than a hundred pictures of characters in the novel. After Song Yan got the drawings, he directly gave Yan Gui ten taels of silver.

The other party said with some fear: "Brother Song, ten taels of silver is too much!"

"Brother Yan, you don't have to be like this. These illustrations are all your hard work. Ten taels of silver are nothing. When the book sells well, I will divide the money with you!"

Song Yan, who hurriedly left with the illustrations, directly scanned the illustrations into the system and asked the system to process them into color.

Then, it is bound into a volume with the content of the novel.

then.

Song Yan placed a hundred copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in each bookstore and asked the clerk to recommend it to people who came in to choose the book.

Day one.

Fifteen bookstores sold only eight copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

On the second day, seven copies were sold, but they fell instead of rising.

But on the third day, the book's reputation soared, and thirty-five copies were actually sold.

On the fourth day, more than a hundred copies were sold.

A week later, a total of more than 600 copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were sold. You know, the price of this book is not low, each copy costs 5 yuan.

After selling more than 600 novels, Song Yan was surprised to find that his luck had increased by more than 100 points, which was far beyond his expectation.
