My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 134 What a good idea
After hearing what Xu Huizu said, Xu Qin nodded. If Zhu Di really didn't give him the title, then he would not do it no matter who came to him.

"Well. Dad, anyway, this matter is like this. I am not idle either. Our family has a lot of things to do this year. I will just put it off. If there is no sufficient benefit, I will not go.

But I am worried about my aunt. If my aunt comes to see me again, I really don’t know what to do. I can’t not give face to my aunt. Dad, what do you think we should do? "Xu Qin looked at Xu Huizu and asked. He was still worried. Otherwise, why didn't he go to the palace for the past few months? It was to avoid his aunt.

"Well, regarding this matter, I guess your aunt won't come. If your aunt comes, it means she must have gained enough benefits for you, so don't worry.

If your aunt asks you to go to the palace, just go. If there is no benefit, just say you are busy.

However, I don't think so. Your aunt will definitely tell His Majesty in advance." Xu Huizu thought for a moment and said to Xu Qin.

"That's good. If that's the case, I won't have anything to worry about." Xu Qin said happily after hearing what Xu Huizu said.

"Also, this time you used arithmetic to prove your ability. Zhu Di will not kill you easily, and your aunt will also pay more attention to you. This is a good thing, but you still have to cause trouble." Xu Huizu instructed Xu Qin, and Xu Qin nodded.

I am a professional at causing trouble. As long as someone provokes me, I will cause trouble immediately.

The next morning, Xu Qin was still sleeping. Shiyue and Mufeng came to Xu Qin's bedside and looked at him with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Xu Qin looked at them both in confusion and asked.

"Young Master, your reputation has spread throughout the capital. It won't be long before the entire Ming Dynasty knows that our young master is an expert in arithmetic." Shiyue said happily to Xu Qin.

"So fast?" Xu Qin looked at Xu Qin in surprise and asked.

"That's right. Now those teahouses, brothels, and theaters are all talking about what you did in the palace yesterday. But, young master, I'm very surprised. Although we arranged people to spread the news yesterday, it shouldn't have happened so quickly." Mu Feng frowned and said as he helped Xu Qin put on his clothes.

"Huh?" Xu Qin turned his head and looked at Mu Feng.

"I feel like someone else is also spreading it. Logically speaking, what happened in the palace and those ministers shouldn't be spread out so quickly. After all, it's a shameful thing for those ministers." Mu Feng said to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin also began to think about this matter at this moment. It was spread so quickly, and the whole city of Nanjing knew about it, which meant that there was someone behind it.

It is impossible for the civil officials to spread the news, and it cannot be spread so quickly on my side. It can only be Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi is unlikely, after all, he does not want to offend so many civil officials, so it can only be Zhu Di.

But what did Zhu Di want to do by passing it on like this?
After Xu Qin put on his clothes, he went to the dining room to eat, still analyzing the matter in his mind.

As he was thinking about it, Xu Qin suddenly realized that Zhu Di just wanted him to go against those civil officials. Those civil officials would definitely not accept this huge loss. They would definitely retaliate, especially now that everyone in Nanjing knew about it. That would be a slap in the face of those civil officials.

But would those civil officials be so honest? Once they retaliate, they will go against those civil officials, and Zhu Di will reap the benefits.

"Hmph, you really think of it!" Xu Qin thought with a sneer. Even if he had to go against the civil officials at that time, there was no need for him to go to the Weaving Bureau?
If you want to go to the Weaving Bureau, there must be benefits. If there are no benefits, no matter how hard you try, you won't go.

Even if those civil officials want to deal with me, I can just deal with them. Anyway, it won't be a big deal if I kill them, and my aunt can protect me anyway.

Soon, Xu Qin finished his breakfast, thought about it, and decided to ignore other things. He should finish his glass workshop as soon as possible. Who knows if there will be any work in the future? If the Duke of Wei was really returned to his family, then he would have to go. With the title in hand, he could concentrate on his work.

Xu Qin left the city quickly, but the ministers were angry inside because the rumors outside made them lose face. This was still a small matter. The key was that it was true, all of this was true!
Those civil officials thought about it all night last night and came up with some questions. They had them collected early in the morning and sent to the East Palace. Zhu Gaochi looked at the thick stack of questions and asked the person who sent the questions. He learned that there were more than 200 questions. He couldn't help but sighed and said, "Isn't this just giving money to this kid? This is not the way to give money.

This guy is so rich, and they still give him money like this, eh!"

After saying that, he waved to the person who came to deliver the questions. The person bowed and left.

The Crown Princess also came over and asked Zhu Gaochi, "Should we send these questions over? Can Shakyabao answer them?"

"What do you think? This is giving money to Sakyabao!" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang and said. Zhang smiled and said, "This Sakyabao is really amazing. Yesterday, on the way back, my mother was very happy, especially when she learned that there were no questions that could embarrass Sakyabao. She was very proud. She rushed all the way back, but still couldn't stop Sakyabao in the palace."

"Hehe, don't mention this. I heard that dad didn't dare to go to Kunning Palace last night." Zhu Gaochi also said with a smile.

At noon, Xu Qin had lunch at the construction site with the craftsmen. The craftsmen admired Xu Qin very much. Xu Qin really respected the craftsmen very much, not only did he pay them high wages, but he also started his speech with honorifics.

The craftsmen were very fond of Xu Qin. They had heard of Xu Qin's arrogance before, but now, after facing the real Xu Qin, they felt that Xu Qin was very easy to talk to and very reasonable.

In the evening, Xu Qin returned to the courtyard, and Mu Feng came over and said to Xu Qin: "Master, this morning, someone from the East Palace sent over the questions. There are more than 200 questions. Can you finish them?"

"More than two hundred? Are they so rich? Okay, it would be nice to have some pocket money." Xu Qin was a little surprised when he heard it, but he was still very happy. He could make money, especially from those civil officials.

That night, after Xu Qin finished his meal, he sat in his study to answer those questions.

In Xia Yuanji's mansion, Huang Fu, Song Li, Liu Jun and others were all there. They were actually very worried, fearing that Xu Qin had really answered all the questions. They knew about the rumors outside today.

Now they could only pray that Xu Qin would not be able to answer some questions. As long as he could not, they would not have lost everything.

"Tell me, how are we going to target Xu Qin in the future? This time Xu Qin can be said to be famous in our Ming Dynasty, a master of arithmetic! Humph!" Xia Yuanji sat there and said with a sneer.

The other people also sneered. It was a good thing that the master of arithmetic was not the master of Confucianism. Of course, the master of arithmetic was also a title, and a not small one at that.

"What I'm worried about is that His Majesty will use him. The matter of the Weaving Bureau must be resolved after all. If Xu Qin goes to the Weaving Bureau, it will be very troublesome. I'm worried that we are not his match. This boy still has some tricks. Now the new silk has not come down. If it comes down, what should we do then? Should we continue not to provide silk to the Xu family workshop?

I am worried that doing so will cause Xu Qin to counterattack, so my idea is to give Xu Qin silk and ask him not to go to the weaving bureau. "Song Li sat there, looking at Xia Yuanji and said.

Xia Yuanji stroked his beard. In fact, he thought the same thing. They were now a little afraid to force Xu Qin. Even if Xu Qin crushed them all this time, they did not want to force Xu Qin. He was too dangerous.

Xu Qin's expertise in market management is unmatched by them.

“But if we give silk to the Xu Family Workshop, then the silk from the Xu Family Workshop, plus the silk from the Weaving Bureau, will be enough to meet the needs of going out to sea. At that time, the Xu Family Workshop will be able to make money, but no one else will. Will those workshop owners agree to this?

If this goes on for a long time, the workshop owner will be even less likely to agree, and it will be very troublesome." Liu Jun said worriedly while sitting there.

Now it’s not right to give silk to Xu’s workshop, but it’s also not right not to give it.

Xia Yuanji also sighed deeply. It was indeed very difficult.

"As long as Xu Qin doesn't go to the Weaving Bureau, everything will be fine. But now the Weaving Bureau is determined to go out to sea, which really makes things difficult for us. If we insist on holding on, it will definitely not work and we won't be able to hold on for long." Song Li continued.

"But whether Xu Qin goes or not is not up to Xu Qin or us, but His Majesty. We can't be so passive." Huang Fu said anxiously. Huang Fu was very unhappy with Xu Qin, especially the last time in Xu's house, when Xu Qin was rude to him, which made him even more unhappy.

"Let's see first. The last time Xu Qin came to see me, I didn't see him. Let's see about the silk matter this time. Don't give it to the Xu Mansion yet. Wait for Xu Qin to come to see me. I will promise to give it to him and then have a good talk with him. I hope he can agree to our request. In addition, other workshops also need to sell silk, but they can't sell too much. They must first let those workshop owners maintain their livelihoods.

We at the Ministry of Revenue will also try to find a way, and at the same time, everyone should also try to hint to the workshop owners below to control production and not sell goods to the Weaving Bureau immediately. As long as this is the case, I believe everyone can accept it, and even if Your Majesty sends Xu Qin, I don't think there will be anything he can do.

But there is a prerequisite, don't offend Xu Qin." Xia Yuanji said, stroking his beard.

The reason why they made such a decision was because Xu Qin's arithmetic problems this time would definitely attract Zhu Di's attention. Zhu Di had not paid much attention to Xu Huizu's branch before, but now it was Zhu Di's turn and he had no choice but to pay attention to it.
