Chapter 296: Be nicer to your daughter-in-law
The sixth day of the sixth month of the 18th year of Jingkang, early morning
The lower part is officially on sale.
Needless to say, the grand occasion of book fans buying books is the only three days of sales data to understand how popular it is.
On the first day, the capital, together with Tianjin, Hebei and Shandong, had a combined daily sales of over 50,000.
The next day, although it dropped sharply, there were 30,000 copies.
On the third day, the total sales volume exceeded 100,000!
...
Of course, these data were later counted and calculated by Anyi based on feedback from Yunjia and booksellers in various places.
However, that's it. Just based on the current grand occasion in Beijing, An Yi clearly felt that this release was booming again!
…………
And the sales volume is so big that it immediately brings Ma Jin a lot of real gold and silver.
Because Xinhua has always only sent goods when it comes to money, the profit this time was already on Ma Jin’s table before the new book was released.
Excluding costs, labor, taxes, and various miscellaneous expenses, Ma Jin finally earned nearly 110,000 taels, and according to estimates, these have not reached the limit, and profits will be made in the future.
After preparing nearly 110,000 taels of silver for Xinhua to make more than 30,000 taels of funds for its turnover, Ma Jin can use the remaining 80,000 taels at will.
In addition, the money he saved before was not much different from the 200,000 taels of silver he had in building the Princess' Mansion. I guess he would have collected it without waiting for Tongrentang to pay dividends.
But before Ma Jin hugged the 80,000 taels of silver, Yan Yi, the debt collector, came to the door with a smile.
As the saying goes, a smile on his face must be a good thing. At this time, in Ma Jin's heart, Yan Yi is the bastard who comes to drink his blood and eat his meat.
...
Recently, the battle between Yan Yi and Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Qian Ji has become increasingly fierce. The two sides have not yet broken up, but have almost fought each other.
The two families attacked each other in the court. Except for the big news that they died together, they could not be exposed, and all other things were not bad for meat and vegetables. As long as it was not good for the other party, they would be shaken off.
During this period, the censors of the Censorate were busy. The Ministry of Revenue released a lot of new information every day. This one had not yet arrived and the one had urgently impeached, and another one had another harsh information. In the end, there was no time to compile the memorials, so I took it seriously.
All the censors said that after being a censor for so many years, they have not been so easy to do...
In just one month, three officials of the fifth rank or above were dismissed from the Ministry of Revenue. Officials with accidents under the fifth rank or above were about to break through the double digits, and the cannon fodder at the bottom was even more miserable, almost cutting them.
This is the reason why both parties have worked hard to protect it, otherwise officials from the middle and lower levels of the Ministry of Revenue would be able to directly replace blood.
………
Now the Ministry of Revenue is in chaos and has no peace at all. All middle and lower-level officials are in a panic, and if there is a slight noise, they will be full of soldiers.
As for the senior management, they either join the two camps to fight, or they will flee far away or not leave. For example, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue will complain about illness and ask for leave at home, while the right assistant minister will go out to patrol taxes in various provinces.
The other middle and senior officials who remained neutral also found various reasons to leave this whirlpool.
It was not until two days ago that Emperor Jing Kang could not bear it and personally took action to suppress the two families, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was temporary.
One is the Minister of Revenue, the legitimate chief official of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other is the prince who regards the Ministry of Revenue as its base camp. Even if it is for whoever takes the greatest authority in the Ministry of Revenue in the future, these two families will have to fight sooner or later.
………
Now that the two sides have stopped fighting, it is actually for the rest of the world. Yan Yi came to Ma Jin to ask for food and grass.
Looking at Yan Yi with a smile and looking expectant, Ma Jin was speechless.
If this guy can't become the emperor in the future, before the new king takes action, Ma Jin will destroy this guy first...
Ma Jin took 20,000 taels of silver notes in pain and handed them to Yan Yi. Seeing the guy taking them with a smile, he thought about it and took out another 10,000 taels of silver.
"Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue is of great power. But you can't just stare at Qian Ji. King Qing and other princes must also deal with it carefully."
Ma Jin was afraid that Yan Yi would be careless and was taken by Yan Jin and others to take the way out, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Yan Yi smiled and took the ten thousand taels of silver notes, looked around the main hall for a week, and guarding Zhu Hu beside him, Bai Ling immediately understood and retreated.
After the others in the room left, Yan Yi smiled mysteriously and said softly.
"Zisheng is not an outsider either. I might as well tell you clearly. This dispute between the Ministry of Revenue is actually far from as simple as you thought."
After hearing Yan Yi's words, Ma Jin was quite surprised, and he underestimated this guy. Suddenly, Ma Jin thought of a possibility and looked at Yan Yi with bright eyes.
"Is the dispute between Your Highness and Qian Ji fake? In fact, Qian Ji has already invested in Your Highness. This dispute between the Ministry of Revenue is actually a scene, and it is for others to see..."
………
"puff!"
"Ahem cough cough..."
Yan Yi, who had already received 30,000 taels of support from Ma Jin, was in a good mood and comforted his God of Wealth, asking him to increase his confidence in his side.
As a result, Yan Yi was drinking tea. After hearing Ma Jin's whimsical speculation, he couldn't breathe and almost choked to death.
Ma Jin hurriedly went over to pat Yan Yi on the back and gave him a sense of relief. Zhu Hu and Yan Yi's guards outside the door thought something was wrong with the room, so they hurriedly broke into the room.
"call……"
After finally recovering, Yan Yi took Zhu Hu and others away again, and then he was so angry that he beat Ma Jin.
"Is this king sick? If Qian Ji is my person, I will be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. I will make a fortune in a quiet voice. Why are you doing these tricks?"
"Yes, it's Xiaguan who is thinking a little bit."
Ma Jin smiled embarrassedly and asked again, "What did your highness mean just now?"
...
Yan Yi's remaining energy was not over, so he drank another sip of water before slowly calming down.
"Actually, I guess my father may not know that this king's power in the Ministry of Revenue is far beyond everyone's imagination.
Yan Hongshan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is actually my king's member. Chen Chuan, the right assistant minister, also has a great intention to surrender to me. It is estimated that it will take not long before we can add another general.
Including almost half of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue who remained neutral when Qian Ji fought for power this time, they were instructed by me. With the popularity of Qian Ji, an old thing, in the Ministry of Revenue, if I do my best, in less than three days, he, the Minister of Revenue, will become a rat crossing the street."
As he said that, Yan Yi looked at Ma Jin, and his calm eyes rarely showed confidence and arrogance.
"So Zisheng, you don't have to worry about the dispute between the Ministry of Revenue. All of this is within the control of my king."
...
After listening to Wanyan Yi's words, Ma Jin felt a little complicated. He was happy that Yan Yi told him such an important thing, and he regarded himself as his confidant.
I was also a little shocked by Yan Yi's previous hidden scheming and tricks, and even a little awe.
However, Ma Jin immediately started to instruct himself that the more outstanding Yan Yi was, the less money he had, the less waste he had.
Besides, if we earn money honestly in the future, no matter how cruel Yan Yi is, he will not be able to deal with his sister-in-law.
