It was already late at night when Wang Jinghui returned to the Prince-Confucian Mansion's study from Sima Guang's humble room. Although he felt a little awkward, from the effect, Sima Guang obviously accepted his suggestion and put the market law in the northwest to try it. As for the other end of Wang Anshi, Emperor Zhao Xu was naturally going to deal with it. This is his own problem.

Wang Jinghui, who had just returned to the study, was informed by Eunuch Zhao that Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anguo was visiting him. He had been waiting in the Prince Consort's Mansion for a long time, but he had returned from Sima Guang too late before missing out. When Wang Anguo left, Eunuch Zhao asked Eunuch Zhao to tell Wang Jinghui that "The Great Song Dynasty Agricultural Book" has been compiled and can be delivered for publication!

Wang Anguo has been in charge of the daily operation of the academy at Huaying Academy. Wang Anguo's knowledge was wrong. Although his brother Wang Anshi had "understanding the Six Classics", he was able to be ranked first in Kaifeng, the capital of Bian, which is rich in humanities. He is usually a permanent lecturer in the academy. Wang Anguo is indeed very good. In his opinion, it is his best place in Huaying Academy. Originally, because of Wang Anshi, Emperor Zhao Xu wanted to add him to an official position, but Wang Anguo refused.

Starting from the fourth year of Zizhiping, Wang Jinghui, under the then emperor Zhao Shu, summoned agricultural talents from all over the country and gathered in Huaying Academy to work together to compile a agricultural book belonging to the Song Dynasty. This is a very memorable event. Perhaps it was an unnecessary thing in the eyes of the senior ruling leaders of the Song Dynasty, but this was a very important thing, especially in the eyes of the son-in-law Wang Jinghui, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. In the fifth year of Zhiping, Emperor Zhao Shu abdicated due to physical reasons and was the emperor of the Supreme Emperor and stayed in the Deshou Palace as the new emperor Zhao Xu, and succeeded to the throne.

The bookstore of "Growing Song Dynasty Agricultural Bookstore located in Huaying Academy was not as concerned as the Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu, but out of his favor to the prince-consort, he was still as strong as ever. He gave great strength in talents and reference books, but as far as Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, two of whom supported the country, helped the land. In addition, Wang Jinghui's incredible stubbornness in this matter, prompted the writing of "Growing Song Dynasty Agricultural Book" to be uninterrupted. Instead, with the combined efforts of "agricultural experts" in all aspects, he maintained efficient work and finally completed all the compilation work in the twelfth month of the first year of Xining.

At that time, Wang Jinghui wrote to the emperor Zhao Shu and ordered the compilation of the "Great Song Dynasty Farming Book" and provided sufficient funds to ensure the progress of the matter. At this time, the compilation of the "Great Song Dynasty Farming Book" had been completed. He could imagine how excited he was, but it was too late. So he stopped his idea of ​​rushing to Huaying Academy. The next morning, Wang Jinghui turned down all social engagements and sent someone to inform Wang Anshi and Sima Guang that the news of the compilation of the "Great Song Dynasty" had been completed, and then hurriedly got on a carriage and rushed to Huaying Academy outside Biandu.

Before the bookstore of "Great Song Agricultural Books" was established in Huaying Academy to carry out substantive work, Wang Anguo was concerned about "Great Song Agricultural Books". Although "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce" were ranked first, it was just a formal ranking. Besides, there was the precedent of Confucius' good farmers. Although scholars and officials verbally attached great importance to farmers, they were all despised, and Wang Anguo was not an exception. Wang Anguo had his own uniqueness - in his eyes. Wang Jinghui had never done anything meaningless.

Even though it was seen at that time, things would always have unimaginable results when they continued to develop. This is true for doing business and in political affairs. Especially after seeing Wang Jinghui's method of eliminating the wing army, he followed Wang Jinghui firmly. When he saw Wang Jinghui as the state affairs of Chuzhou, the first thing was water conservancy, and the second thing was to search for talents everywhere to try planting and promote double-season rice. Both of these things were related to agriculture, and coupled with the actions of "food is the best" in recent years, he realized the importance of food to the Song Dynasty. After Wang Jinghui wrote the book of agriculture, he

As the actual head of Huaying Academy, he gave great care to the Agricultural Piao Tianwen Bureau, which was located in the Academy. Since many "agricultural experts" who participated in the compilation of agricultural books have known farmers, in order to avoid discrimination from scholars and students in the academy, they also specially arranged the accommodation of the bookstore and participants in a corner of the academy, which saved some trouble. Although Wang Jinghui was busy with other matters, he attached great importance to the compilation of agricultural books. In his private letters to Wang Anguo, he would forget to write the progress of compilation of agricultural books every time. After the compilation was completed, he even came to the Prince Consort's Mansion to report the letter at night.

Under Wang Anguo's guidance, Wang Jinghui came to the location of the "Great Song Agricultural Books" Bookstore. In a very large room, he saw several tables pieced together, covered with white cloth, neatly placed a pile of books, covered with red silk, but only a corner was lifted and exposed books were exposed. Several important figures and low-level officials who participated in the compilation of agricultural books stood around.

Wang Jinghui stood at the table and lifted up the red silk, and heard Wang Anguo next to him say, "After revision, the compilation of the "Great Song Agricultural Books" has been completed, with a total of more than 130 volumes and more than 1,500 chapters. It is almost a miracle that such a large-scale agricultural book can be compiled in three years!"

Wang Jinghui nodded after hearing this. He also thought so. He remembered that the first book he published in the Commercial Press, "Taiping Yulan", was as many as thousands of volumes. It was also the result of Emperor Taizu gathering the best and outstanding literati of the Song Dynasty and working together to complete it for more than ten years. This was the result of directly citing many ready-made classics and directly compiling them. Imagine that more than 130 volumes of "Ground Book of the Song Dynasty" only refers to the few pitiful classics in the past, and almost all the rest are compiled by oral compilation of more than 3,000 "agricultural experts". It can be completed in three years, which can definitely be called a miracle.

Wang Jinghui picked up one of them and flipped it around casually. When he saw that the words on it were written in vernacular, there were several patterns as markings every few pages, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - this was what he fought for. Agricultural books are for agriculture, and the language is straightforward and convenient for recitation, while a large number of accompanying pictures are used to make people better understand the content of this book.

The official next to him thought the green robe said: "This "Great Song Dynasty Agricultural Book" compiles contents and divides livestock, breeding, rice, wheat, etc. into a single item and introduces it in a single volume according to the classification method."

Wang Jinghui nodded and said, "The reason why I suggested that you make this arrangement is that if the complete set of "Ground Books of the Great Song Dynasty" is published and purchased, the price will be very high, but you can purchase the item according to your respective needs. This can also help promote the agricultural book and make the work results of yours get the due effect!"

Most of the officials around were philosophers, and they knew why Wang Jinghui wrote letters from Chuzhou when they started to write "The Great Song Dynasty Agricultural Books", and arranged the overall compilation structure of the agricultural book. The only agricultural book they could refer to was "Qimin Yaoshu" compiled by Jia Siyi, a native of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He originally wanted to write according to the structure of "Qimin Yaoshu". This was arranged in this way because the prince consort was in the ground. After all, this agricultural book was first promoted by the prince consort Wang Jinghui. In the process of compiling agricultural books, the prince consort paid for it and arranged a very relaxed environment.

"Interference with an outsider" is one of Wang Jinghui's basic creeds. After all, he is a god. Although some people say that he is "born to know", he knows that this kind of evaluation is just a compliment from people. In fact, Wang Jinghui's interfering in the agricultural books this time was also because of the convenience of promotion. He has read Jia Sijie's "Qimin Yaoshu". Although the scale is not comparable to the "Great Song Dynasty Agricultural Book" he has seen now, the books published in more than 90 volumes are also thick. After searching, he said that even buying is something that ordinary people can bear.

"The Book of Agricultural Books of the Great Song Dynasty" is only what Wang Jinghui took out to show off, but it must be put into use and widely spread to improve the overall agricultural level of the Great Song Dynasty. He has always despised the use of the main points. After considering it comprehensively, Wang Jinghui wrote a letter to the official of the bookstore responsible for compiling the "The Book of Agricultural Books of the Great Song Dynasty", asking them to make perfect the writing and "slightly describe it". Instead, explain it as much as possible, and also have a large number of legends; the other is to require all

The content is "modular", and such requirements directly lead to huge differences between the volumes of the "Green Book of the Great Song Dynasty". The "Great Book" volume, which specializes in rice seeds, can reach a scale of ten, five or six volumes, while the "Fish Book" about freshwater farming is only one volume per volume, and the local thickness is also very thin.

The scale difference between the volumes once made the craft officials involved in the overall compilation very adapted. Until now the book was completed, there was still this knot in my heart, so the craft officials just now raised the craft officials. Wang Jinghui explained his thoughts to them at this time, and he also knew how much effect this could play, but these officials could do whatever they could do if they had steadily saved them. This structure arrangement is entirely for the convenience of promotion and popularization. Only the rice planting is needed. Buying volumes such as "Fish" or "Horse" said that it cost a lot, and it was also used when applied.

The craft officials and "agricultural experts" who participated in the compilation of agricultural books need to do their best to write the book well and understand it. As for the promotion, it is Wang Jinghui's business. Now he gave the reason for doing this, but everyone was enlightened. Although they still understood the links, they still thought that such a compilation structure was indeed conducive to promotion. People who buy books only need what they need, and they are generalists who specialize in agriculture. It is the work of these craft officials.

Wang Jinghui put the agricultural book in his hand back to his original position and said: "My dear masters, with the prosperity of overseas trade, I have also arranged for some people to collect seeds and fruits of crop varieties that were unprecedented in the Song Dynasty from overseas countries in the trade fleet. It can be foreseen that more and more overseas crops will be introduced in the Song Dynasty in the future. This agricultural book is only temporary. In the future, after the introduction of these overseas crops, the results will be included in the agricultural book. This requires all the adults to worry!"

"Introduction of overseas crops?!" All the craft officials present had questions in their minds, and then it became clear that they were clear. Since the time of Renzong in the Song Dynasty, Chameng rice was introduced on a large scale in Jiangnan to solve the drought. Although it was also rice, it was also an overseas species. Is it growing well in the Song Dynasty? Overseas species were widely planted in gardens such as the emperor's back garden, and some of them were to be promoted on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, which is also a few.

Wang Jinghui ordered people to pack the "Great Song Dynasty Farming Book" carefully, put it on his carriage and took it back to Kaifeng City. He wrote a memorial in the study and went to the palace to meet the saint. After seeing the prince-consort, Wang Jinghui arranged for him to rest in the flower hall and immediately informed the emperor. Although the prince-consort came to meet the saint yesterday, the people in the palace were accustomed to the frequent entry and exit of the palace. The rules of "entering the palace in one day" and "attend to three days" in the court are applicable to the prince-consort - the prince-consort is the emperor's most favored person, no matter when. As long as the prince-consort requires the prince-consort to be conveyed as soon as possible, this is what the emperor Zhao Xu said in person, and no one dares to neglect.

"Master, I'm here to report the good news!"

"Haha, change it, where does the joy come from?" Emperor Zhao Xu did not change his imperial robe in a formal manner, but just sat casually in Yangxin Pavilion. This is the location of the emperor's imperial study, even though the snowflakes were flying outside were cold, it was still as warm as spring.

"The Master, the minister of the Great Song Dynasty wrote a letter to the court to compile the "Group Book of the Great Song Dynasty" in the fourth year of Zhiping. It has been nearly three years since then. Today, the minister can submit a letter to the Master. The more than 130 volumes of the "Group Book of the Great Song Dynasty" have been compiled. The Commercial Press is ready, and just waiting for the emperor to order to start typography and printing and distribution!"

Emperor Zhao Xu was in a wrong mood. This morning he summoned Wang Anshi to discuss the new law - mainly to discuss the market law. He also told Wang Anshi that the prince-in-law would come forward and say that the ministers in the court would put the market law in the northwest in the near future. Although this ending could satisfy Wang Anshi, it was better than the articles of the new law that were endlessly involved between the ministers in the court. Wang Anshi, who was originally preparing to write a memorial for resignation at home, was preparing to temporarily put the memorial for resignation.

"Oh!" Emperor Zhao Xu was obviously interested in this. What he was concerned about was the military and national affairs and reform. In his opinion, a small farm book was just a tool for officials below to rely on. Of course, the son-in-law and rare official positions were rare. He could really understand that Wang Jinghui was so concerned about farm book: "Thank you for your hard work! I will reward all the officials involved in the compilation of farm book!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "These officials involved in the compilation of agricultural books are just in time. The watch workshop has started construction. The first batch of clocks and watches were sold a month ago. The priest can draw from them to reward these craft officials!"

"Haha!" Emperor Zhao Xu smiled. Look at the self-ringing bell placed in a corner of Yangxin Pavilion. The clock made by the prince-consort made a prototype a few months ago, and then made several tables to the palace. This thing is very convenient and accurate for timing. As soon as you look up, you can see what time it is now, and every half an hour there will be bells ringing to show people. It is really interesting. The craftsmen in this clock workshop used all call from the palace. Although they are skillful, the clocks are made in complex. The real production of clocks was last month. The prince-consort had vowed to rely on this to improve the treatment of local craftsmen in the Song Dynasty. He knew that it could be done. He was busy with political affairs recently, but he forgot about the clocks.

"The watch workshop has started to operate, which is really slow! My dear once told me that we should 'establish the country with agriculture'. The compilation of the agricultural books has been completed. These craft officials should be rewarded with great rewards. I know that the money in this watch workshop is enough?!" Emperor Zhao Xu asked with a smile. In his eyes, this watch is indeed quite interesting, but how much money can be made is another matter.

"The Master can worry. Now there are many places where the imperial court spends money, and it is only one minute to save. This watch workshop was originally proposed to increase the income of officials of the Song Dynasty. It is naturally enough to produce and sell it now. Although the watch workshop just started selling watches a month ago, it still made a lot of profits. When I asked about it a few days ago, Xu responded that the clock has been sold out now, and the profit is about 200,000 chunks. The Master can allocate it at will!" Wang Jinghui raised his lips slightly and said slowly.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao Xu snatched a breath. The son-in-law's ability to make money surprised him again. What made Emperor Zhao Xu even more stirred was Wang Jinghui's persistence in the issue of craft officials - the watch business was that he could have such a big profit just now, but the son-in-law hesitated to take it out to improve the treatment of craft officials: "Why do you value craft officials so much?!"
