Chapter 587: Shang Yun Really Made the First Move

Jin Zhong took a sip of tea, and said comfortably: "It's just a dictionary, the old man decides, so it's not a big problem."

Fang Xing waited for him to relax before saying, "50,000 copies!"

"Bang!"

The teacup in Jin Zhong's hand rested on the table, his eyelids twitched and he said, "Fifty thousand copies?"

"That's right, the first batch of 50,000 copies."

Fang Xing said with a chuckle, hoping to see if you dare to say no to it.

After all, Jin Zhong had experienced many storms, and after being shocked, he asked: "Dehua, don't be so serious, the first batch should print less."

This was because he was worried that Fang Xingyin would lose money, so Fang Xing smiled and said, "Master Jin, don't worry, Fang is still sure."

So Fang Xing told Jin Zhong all about his plan, including printing with movable type, using cheap paper as much as possible, and so on.

Jin Zhong stroked his beard and said, "Are you trying to make it affordable for the common people?"

Fang Xing nodded slightly, this was exactly his wish.

Why is it difficult to study these days?

One is the tuition fee, and the other is that the family is equivalent to one less laborer, so I am reluctant.

The most important thing is that the success rate of the imperial examination is too low. There are so many scholars in the country, but just one scholar can make most of them fail the exam for the rest of their lives.

And the result of failing the exam is that the family's initial investment was in vain.

And these investments can almost make an ordinary family, the whole family tighten their belts, just waiting to pass the exam and enjoy the blessings.

"The future of Daming needs countless literate people, even if he is just a farmer. As long as the learning continues from generation to generation, the people's abilities will definitely become higher and higher. By then..."

Thinking of the countless literate people after the Ming Dynasty, Fang Xing felt that his future goals were really not difficult.

Jin Zhong said with a smile: "Okay, I'm afraid I won't see that day, but from generation to generation, my great Ming talents emerge in endlessly. Don't forget to tell the old man when the time comes."

During the meal, Fang Xing asked about Shang Yun.

Jin Zhong put down his chopsticks and said: "This person usually looks diligent, and he is friendly with his colleagues, but during the days when my husband was seriously ill, this person jumped up and down, connected with each other, and spread rumors to discredit his colleagues, hey! The old man has been blind in the past!"

Fang woke up and said: "The desire for fame is too hot, and the methods are too dirty, no wonder this person begged me to intercede with you today."

Jin Zhong took a sip of the good wine that Fang Xing brought, and said melancholy: "This old man can't tolerate sand in his eyes!"

Fang Xing secretly admired it, and at the same time lamented that there will be fewer and fewer such upright officials in the future. A single Hai Rui made the entire Ming Dynasty terrified and inexplicably rotten.

"Lord Jin, if you beat a snake, you won't die but you will suffer from it. If you want to strike, you should be quicker."

Jin Zhong was stunned: "No way, does he, Shang Yun, still dare to play tricks behind his back? He doesn't have the ability either!"

Fang Xing said indifferently: "This kind of person is too selfish and likes to find a backer. Since you can't be relied on as a backer, he will definitely look for a stronger one."

"Don't underestimate villains, villains will often spoil big things!"

The history is vast, and there are countless examples of bad things caused by humble identities.

Fang Xing felt that Shang Yun was a poisonous snake, and his smile was just to cover up his true nature. So before Shang Yun can pose a threat, he will do it.

If Jin Zhong disagrees, Fang Xing will do it too. This has nothing to do with human nature, it's just that Fang Xing doesn't like the feeling of being like a light on his back, he really doesn't like it!

Jin Zhong pondered and said: "Dehua, punishing without teaching is too much after all, let me talk to him tomorrow, if it is not harmonious, old man..."

"Master, Xinghe Bo's family members have something to see."

Fang Xing stood up and confessed, and when he went out, he saw the knife.

The two walked to a secluded place, Xiaodao said: "Master, Shang Yun went to Ji Gang's house in disguise."

Fang Xing said calmly, "How long have you been there?"

"More than a quarter of an hour."

When Fang Xing returned to the dining table, Jin Zhong was still thinking. When he saw him, he sighed: "Forget it, I will let him rest for a few days tomorrow. If he can repent, I will tell His Majesty to change him to another place." .

"

This was a generous decision, but Fang Xing ruthlessly turned this generosity into humiliation.

"Master Jin, Shang Yun went to find Ji Gang."

Fang Xing couldn't bear to let such a generous elder be slapped by his subordinates, but facts are facts, and deception and concealment are insults to Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong's right hand wanted to grab the chopsticks, but stopped in mid-air when he heard the words, and then his face turned red.

`

"Snapped!"

Jin Zhong slapped the table vigorously, coughing dryly: "You bastard! You bastard!"

Fang Xing hurried over to pat him on the back, persuading him, "It's going to rain, mother is going to get married, let's not get mad at our bodies, otherwise Shang Yun must be extremely proud, it's the pain of the loved ones, The enemy... Uh! Master Jin, stop coughing, come here, bring warm water."

...

The next day, Shang Yun entered the Yamen of the Ministry of War, greeted those colleagues with a smile on his face, and walked into his guard room all the way.

After closing the door, the smile on Shang Yun's face disappeared, and ferocity gradually occupied his long face. Last night, Ji Gang's words echoed in his ears.

"Fang Xing, this person will get revenge, you can decide for yourself, but I remind you, you won't die if you beat a snake...you will suffer from it!"

Thinking of Ji Gang's promise, Shang Yun couldn't help but smile sinisterly and said, "Fang Xing, sit still..."

Fang Xing couldn't sit still, because Xiao Bai was sleeping carelessly in his arms.

Zhang Shuhui came in and frowned and said, "This girl got up before dawn just to collect dew, if she dares to do this tomorrow, her ass will be smashed!"

Fang Xing hugged Xiaobai's slender waist, and smiled apologetically, "Shuhui calm down, this girl will definitely not dare."

Xiao Bai writhed in Fang Xing's arms, then opened his eyes in a daze, and yawned a little: "Madam, young master."

I say! Why did you leave me behind!

Fang Xing was upset, so he quietly pinched him. But the feeling was not quite right, and Xiaobai's reaction was also a little violent.

"ah……"

Xiao Bai suddenly jumped up from Fang Xing's arms, his sleeping pink face turned even redder, and he said angrily, "Master..."

Zhang Shuhui saw the place covered by Xiaobai's hand, and asked suspiciously: "Where did my husband touch you?"

Xiaobai's face was almost blushing, and she hung her head in silence.

Fang Xing coughed dryly, "What's for lunch?"

Zhang Shuhui rolled his eyes at him and said, "The weather is dry, Hua Niang said that it would be best to have vegetable porridge."

After Zhang Shuhui went out, Fang Xing and Xiaobai looked at each other. Both of them are carnivores, so how about vegetable porridge!

The family of three is flirting, and the morning is almost over.

Zhu Di felt that his spirit was a little weak, and when he saw that there were no more people involved, he said, "That's all for today, and all the ministers will go back to the Yamen."

The officials were preparing to salute, but someone outside sent a memorial.

"Your Majesty, Shang Yun, the head of the Ministry of War, has a memorial to enter."

Presenting the memorial at such a time is mostly an urgent matter, so Zhu Di accepted the memorial with impatience, but after reading it, he was a little annoyed.

"I went to call Shang Yun, and let Xing and Bo... come too."

Someone went out to report immediately, and the officials heard Fang Xing's name, and immediately understood the general idea.

How dare Shang Yun impeach Fang Xing?

And Fang Xing seems to have never met the king before...
