Chapter 17 Booklet

After seeing off Wang Changling and others, Xue Chongxun waited for the inner house to wander around.

He was not doing nothing during this period, but his pace of life was slow at this time, so he didn't have to work hard on his own. He only saw important people on weekdays, so he was not busy.

It is not easy for others to see him.

Every day, people who seek official relations come to the door, and they all came to Xue Liu to screen them and made excuses to refuse. Only some people who Xue Liu thought were serious would report to Xue Chongxun and let him decide to see him or not.

Just as he was moaning at the shimmering lake, footsteps came from behind him. When he turned around, he found that it was Yao Wan, who was on duty during the day today.

She lowered her head and leaned her knees gently and said: The butler asked someone to hand in the famous post and asked if he saw him.

Xue Chongxun took the famous post and saw it read: Xia She (space) Li Li.

He pondered for a moment, thinking about who this person was, because Xue Liu could ask someone to submit a post to come in, all people who might have the value of meeting.

At this moment, Yao Wan said: The housekeeper said that the husband had met this person before and also sponsored a sum of money to build a bookstore.

Oh... Xue Chongxun suddenly remembered that this guy showed up at the tail-burning banquet at Cheng Qianli's family. He spoke fiercely on the debate between China and the barbarians that the gentry began to discuss in recent years, and there was a shadow of later nationalism, which attracted Xue Chongxun's attention. Later, Li Wei came to the royal palace to raise money to build a bookstore and wrote a bookstore to compete with opponents of the argument. Xue Chongxun believed that investing in this matter had potential political value, so he got some money.

But he didn't hear any results in a year or two, so he had long forgotten that.

I didn't expect that Li Vai came to me again today, and I don't know if I wanted to continue raising funds or hand over the results.

It seems that he is the real man?Xue Chongxun asked casually, then realized that the only one who was around him was not an aide, so he stopped.

Unexpectedly, Yao Wan answered: He called the hermit Li Xuanyi the uncle, but his father was not Li Yinshi's brother, but he was just the same clan.

Xue Chongxun looked at her in surprise, and she hurriedly said: Li Wei is a little famous in Guandong, and because he is of the same clan as Li Xuanyi, my guests would occasionally talk about it before, and I also heard about it.

Although Yao Wan was wearing a light cloth and was no longer the daughter of a noble family, she seemed to be able to see a slight ink-scented temperament between her words and deeds, and her tall figure, she was a little different from Pei Niang and Dong, after all, she had a different background.

When she saw Xue Chongxun looking at her, her face turned slightly red and her head lowered.

Xue Chongxun turned his gaze to the lake and stood for a while.Yao Wan asked again: Now that I see him, it’s better to make a date, so I can go and reply to the butler.

Hearing her tone suddenly became cold, as if the bureaucrats in the yamen were in a formal tone, Xue Chongxun had no idea what she was thinking just now, and just said: Take Li Li to the living room in the downward hood waiting for me, I'll go there now.

Before meeting Li Wei, Xue Chongxun could no longer remember the appearance and age of this person. After seeing him, he felt a little familiar.

He is a young man, a few years younger than Xue Chongxun. He is wearing an old cloth robe, a bun tied with a cloth scarf on his head, and a narrow sallow face. His figure is taller and stronger than Wang Changling.

After the ceremony, Li Wei took out a book and a booklet and put it on several cases next to Xue Chongxun: Thanks to the support of the prince, this is an article published by the Xia Society for more than a year. It is collected into a book and engraved into a book; the other book is an account, and the money and goods that maintain the bookstore come from the King of Jin's Mansion, and the matter is not for profit, and the whereabouts of money can be checked.Please take a look at the prince.

Xue Chongxun threw the account aside, picked up the book directly, flipped it out, and read it one by one, and he didn't look at the content carefully for a while, but just made an attitude and nodded occasionally to show encouragement.

Anyway, what he often does is to perform various performances in front of bureaucrats and literati, and he is already very skilled.

Li Vai said again: Originally, we went to the royal palace account room to withdraw money and maintain expenses every month, but recently, the number of people joining the society is increasing day by day, and they are gradually losing money. Therefore, please ask the prince to take a closer look at the accounts and increase the funding...

It's not a problem, just talk to Xue Liu about the specific matter.

Xue Chongxun agreed readily, looking rich and generous.

Because he got the news a few days ago that the Ministry of Revenue Money Bank completed the preliminary preparations, the first batch of trial banknotes were printed and issued, so Xue Chongxun was naturally confident of spending money.

He patted the book in his hand and said: In the future, we will talk to Xue Liu about the accounts. You just need to send such things in.

Yes... Li Wei hesitated and said that there was another thing. All local governments in the capital secretly found out that the money from our Xia Society came from the King of Jin's Mansion, so there was no interference and everything went smoothly.However, Wang Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture went to the bookstore to be charged with crimes such as being ill-behaved and threatened them in many ways.We gathered together to read and talk, but did not commit crimes. Will we be punished for our words?

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: You don’t have to worry about this... the surname Wang?

While he said this, he picked up the pen and wrote it on the paper. I will deal with it properly. Please rest assured. If you have outstanding morals and talents, you can also recommend you to the court as an official.

Li Li held a li as a response, and the matter was almost done, so he said goodbye.

Xue Chongxun wrote a note about Wang Shaoyin and asked someone to hand it over to the prince's kingdom. What should I do if my staff will do?

Because it involves an official with a large position in Jingzhao Prefecture, Xue Chongxun may have to come forward and say a word or two. At that time, the aides come up with a plan and Xue Chongxun just needs to follow their arrangements.

Most of them are knocking and other things. The Prince's aides plan on the premise of rationality and achieve the established purpose at the minimum cost, and of course they will not act irritably.

He wrote the note and threw the matter out of his mind. Seeing that it was not too early in the western front of the sun, he stood up and went back to the inner palace to rest.

Along the way, he couldn't help but remember the incident of Li Li. This man was a piece that was painted two years ago, and now it can come in handy.

Xue Chongxun has already added Li Li to his plan.

While walking, he was bored guessing Li Li's thoughts. Perhaps this person had some ambitions and thought it was too slow to take effect from a small official, so he wanted to join Xue's team and take a boat to go with the flow?

It is obvious that the similar nationalism in the debate between China and the barbarians was of great public opinion to Xue Chongxun usurp the throne, because Li Tang had long been questioned by Shandong geniuses who were born as Hu, and his ancestors changed their surname to Cheng Li.

Xue Chongxun didn't know much about the basis of it, and those literati did not dare to investigate it too arrogantly...

But these are not problems. As long as things that do not concern the ethical foundation, you can do it by saying that black is just like white.

It is only necessary to stir up public opinion that is based on the Han nationality. In fact, it is just a foolish hype of the Qing Tan faction, because the clan forces at this time are still there. In their eyes, it is just a saying that the nation is not a nation. The highest interest is the family. In comparison, the rise and fall of the country doesn’t care much.

There is also a problem. The bloodline school in the debate between China and the barbarians also has branches: one only follows the paternal bloodline; the other is extreme because the pure bloodline theory is also considered a maternal lineage, and this faction is a bit nonsense, because the Han people themselves are not pure, and there have been several large-scale ethnic integrations in history, and it is impossible to check the family maternal lineage.

If the latter is the truth, Xue Chongxun's position would be contradictory: if he said that the Li family was a Hu family, then the three matriarchs of the Xue family were all royal blood, and he was also a conclusive Hu family.

Only the first sect is most beneficial to him. Based on the paternal genealogy, the Xue family Hedong clan has evidence of the Ji family's family surname, which is well-known.

I was afraid that Li Li and his group of people would not see the situation clearly and talk nonsense in the article... Because in Xue Chongxun's impression, this person's remarks in public were a bit radical.

After he wanted to go back to his room, he hurriedly looked through the Xiashe books in his hand and pondered their views.

After a while, Sun's voice interrupted his difficult reading: Is Xue Lang studying? Am I disturbing you?

Xue Chongxun looked back and saw that his wife Li Yan'er was next to him, and there were two maids behind him. He stood up and pretended to be polite and said: I just looked through it casually, it doesn't matter.

A maid behind Sun was carrying a wooden plate with two bowls on it. At Sun's instructions, the maid walked up with a wooden plate and placed the two bowls on the table in front of Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun looked at the things on it in shock. He saw a bowl filled with black soup, which was a bit like a medicine soup. Another bowl contained some brown sugar made of a direct wind gun stove, a chain pot, etc. He asked: What is this, is the soup medicine?

Sun's face looked a little embarrassed. After leaving the maid, she said in a difficult way: It is a soup for recuperation. It is harmless to drink it, so Xue Lang doesn't have to worry.

Who prescribed the prescription?Xue Chongxun asked casually again, saying that he trusted Sun and would not harm him, but he felt wary of the people who prescribed the prescription.

Yuwen Ji opened it.

Sun's face turned red, so I'll just say it, otherwise it would be a big deal to let you drink unknown medicine... She thought about Xue Lang's pathology and prescribed some medicines and might get children...

Sure enough, Xue Chongxun became embarrassed and his face became a little hot.

He did not give birth to children, of course it was not a woman's relationship. So, can't all the wives and concubines suffer from infertility, right?

In ancient times, it was a serious matter that he had no children after getting married for a long time, so although Xue Chongxun felt a little embarrassed, he did not blame Sun.

Sun hurriedly advised: Although it is three parts poisonous, Yuwen Ji said that it may not be effective, but it will not be harmful...

She was busy persuading her, but unexpectedly Xue Chongxun said very readily: OK, I'll drink it.

Sun's face was happy and hurriedly picked up a spoon to scoop the brown sugar in the bowl: It would be less bitter if you add some sugar in it.

What's hard to swallow?

Xue Chongxun picked up the bowl and raised his head and poured it down. Not to mention that the taste of Chinese medicine is really bitter, but for Xue Chongxun, it is completely within a tolerable range.

Seeing this, Li Yan'er glared and said: "My husband is so amazing!"
