Chapter 222: Quite Favored



The spread of Zhou rituals further enhanced King Cheng's reputation.

Everyone said that Prince Cheng was indeed a staunch supporter of the emperor, even though he was a prince without real power.

But he still cared about his country and society, and in order to let students all over the world study with peace of mind, he even took out his own collection of books.

He is indeed your Majesty’s brother.

All these words were spread to the court.

Prince Cheng did not hide his happiness at all.

"Hey... Hey hey... Minister Yao, wait for me, Minister Yao."

When he went to court, he saw the Minister of Revenue Yao Bin walking in front of him and hurriedly called out to him.

"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"

Yao Bin looked down on this man at all. He was good at eating, drinking and having fun.

He doesn't do any real work and just flatters Your Majesty.

Quite popular.

If it weren't for his capable eldest son, who knows what would have happened to the family.

Now that this person is calling me something bad, it must be up to no good.

Sure enough, he just heard this person say, "Master Yao, have you heard? My Chengwang Mansion has become famous!"

......

Yao Bin didn't even want to pay attention to him. He just wanted to be famous. Everyone knew about your family's reputation.

"Don't you want to ask why?"

Prince Cheng was almost going crazy with anxiety. This old guy had no curiosity at all.

As a result, no one shares my good mood.

The Minister of Revenue, who was helpless with his pestering, had no choice but to ask perfunctorily.

"Then may I ask, Your Highness Prince Cheng, what has your Chengwang Mansion done to become famous?"

"Well, it's not a big deal. Didn't His Majesty say last year that we should take out the books from our collection for the students to read?

Although I am not very talented, I donated the Zhou Li collection from my home. It has now been printed and is in the hands of students.

How can these kids be so honest? It’s just a book, but they praise me outside every day, which makes me feel embarrassed…”

Blah blah.....

Yao Bin didn't hear a word he said next.

I only heard that his collection of books has now been put on the market and into the hands of students, and the response has been very good.

The status of Prince Cheng's Mansion in the hearts of students continues to rise.

You know, Prince Cheng’s Mansion was despised by many scholars in the past, for no reason.

It's because this person does nothing but flatter Your Majesty.

"Is what Your Highness just said true?"

Yao Bin meant the news that the book has gone on sale, is it true or not?

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about this? I heard that Qingyang Prefecture has almost all of them.

It has now begun to spread to the neighboring Ruiyang Prefecture."

Yao Bin sighed inwardly, thinking that His Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Xian were still smart.

If this happened in the capital, the unwilling aristocratic families would definitely secretly obstruct it.

But in Qingyang Prefecture, which is thousands of miles away from Beijing, if you don’t send someone to keep an eye on it.

I have no idea how things will develop.

Now is the best example. Qingyang Prefecture has become popular and is beginning to spread to Ruiyang Prefecture.

The news was only received in the capital.

It was brought up in the court last year, and then the ministers opposed it, and then Prince Cheng stepped forward and His Royal Highness Prince Xian took responsibility.

This matter lasted less than ten days in the court.

There was no news in the capital.

I guess most people have forgotten.

Unexpectedly, when it was brought up again, the matter was already halfway successful.

King Xian is indeed a hidden talent!

When His Majesty was in court, he traveled around the country, acting as His Majesty's eyes.

Everyone says that the royal family is ruthless, but that is only a minority.

As His Majesty's only brother, the relationship between the two is sometimes better than that between ordinary people's brothers.

Your Majesty believes that he has no ambitions, and he also believes that Your Majesty trusts him.

This is what brothers are like.

That’s going too far!

Yao Bin thought of King Cheng. Now he had received the news, which meant that many people would get the news about this matter today.

King Cheng has a big mouth and is so arrogant.

I guess I'm not the first person he's showing off to.

In this way, today's court session will be exciting.

Sure enough, when everyone had finished their reports and were waiting to leave the court.

Emperor Wu spoke up, "I heard that Prince Cheng's reputation for Zhouli and sales are both good. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

What's the idea? Just ask them to take out the books at home.

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Wu spoke again.

"Brother, how much money has Prince Cheng been able to share in the past two months? Tell us about it, and let Prince Cheng treat us to a meal at the largest restaurant in the capital today."

Prince Cheng was still confused at this moment. He only knew that his family had a good reputation now, and he had forgotten that he could still get a share of the money.

"Your Majesty, in the two months since the book began selling, Brother Cheng has received 50% of the profits, a total of 10,000 taels of silver."

This ten thousand taels not only stunned the court officials, but also made Prince Cheng himself a little dizzy.

Is it so easy to make money?

This is already ten thousand taels in just two months!

Oh my, what great news this is.

The court officials were in an uproar!
