: A road to life

He was originally the best person to be famous, but he thought that becoming famous was the pinnacle of his life, and he never thought about the issue of being able to stay in the family for a hundred years. In addition to the name, he also had a small biography of dried tofu in the genealogy, which was his greatest luxury.

But now Liu Peng told him that as long as he paid enough money, he could print a book related to Chen Daming himself. Then Chen Daming naturally had a passionate and firm stance, and immediately agreed to help Gu Mengyu come forward to save the situation.

As it turns out, Chen Da was a good man who spoke well, and now he also asked Liu Peng to fulfill his promise at that time: "I have prepared the money, so I don't know how to operate it?"

Liu Peng had already figured out this question clearly before, and he immediately said: "Embroidery and printing books are easy to deal with. As long as there are silver, paper, pens and ink, and stereotypes, the engraving workers are ready-made. If you can't print them in Dengzhou, we will go to Jinan, the provincial capital. There is no provincial capital. We go to Beijing and Nanjing to find the most reliable craftsmen in the world. It's just how to write this book. Chen Bantou, you have to tell us!"

Chen Daming really didn't know how to write this book. He shook his head and said, "The masters in the provincial government, how do they write and print books? I'll just do one according to their own way."

Liu Peng immediately said: "We will definitely not learn the way the master of the provincial government!"

Seeing that Chen Daming was a little puzzled, Gu Mengyu quickly said: "Those officials have published a complete set of essays. As long as you include the poems, political comments, letters and memorials you have written in your life, you will be a complete set of collections."

Chen Daming quickly shook his head and said, "That's really impossible to learn!"

Chen Daming was very smart, but he didn't know much about literacy. After reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he specially asked someone to choose a version with the most vulgar characters and embroidered books. However, there were still many words that were not understood and I couldn't understand. I had to ask someone to help me recognize words before I could read them.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for him to have any articles such as poetry, letters, and inscriptions to retain them.

Chen Daming immediately asked, "Since the master can't learn the way, are there any other ways?"

Liu Peng immediately said, "Meng Yu and I have discussed it specifically. If you want to publish a biography for Uncle Chen, it is a pity that although Uncle Chen has amazing achievements, many deeds are really difficult to write. If you continue writing, something will inevitably happen. However, in this way, the book will seem too thin. And no matter how thin the book is, it will still be too conspicuous as long as it is printed."

Liu Peng said it very elegantly, but Chen Daming understood what he meant, that is, although Chen Daming had done many feats that were praised by others, there were too many dirty work in it, which was inconvenient and not suitable for writing it in the book.

If it is really written, it may bring endless troubles.

More importantly, at the right time and occasion for Chen Daming to print his own books, Chen Daming was just a small official, but the county magistrate, county magistrate, and lord Bo had never published books. He was a small official who could even publish a set of books. How could these great masters have the face of them!

After washing his hands, the most suitable time to print and publish a book, but Liu Peng had told Chen Daming before that when he stepped down, even if he could publish a book, he could only publish a thin book.

If Liu Peng had explained it to him clearly from the beginning, even if it was a thin booklet, Chen Daming might be very satisfied.

But now Liu Peng has already raised Chen Daming's appetite. Of course, Chen Daming cannot be satisfied with such a thin booklet, and of course he has produced a set of big books that can make him famous for his generation.

"Nephew Liu Xian, I have prepared all the money!" Chen Daming immediately said: "If the money is not enough, I will find a way to help you raise it. Anyway, there are many families in the county who are enthusiastic about charity!"

For Chen Daming, he was like most officials, and now he has hit the ceiling of his life.

In the class of officials, there is basically no promotion, at most it is just a flat transfer. If you go further, you will become a miscellaneous official. However, from "official" to "official", this step is too difficult to take, and the difficulty is no less than winning three yuan in a row.

Therefore, what Chen Daming now pays attention to is just a little false reputation in front of him and behind him. So as soon as Liu Peng proposed to print books, Chen Daming felt that he was going crazy. He had already prepared enough money in just a few days.

If the money is not enough, he has a way. Anyway, as soon as he comes forward, there will naturally be many "enthusiastic people" who are enthusiastic about charity to donate money and materials.

Now Chen Daming is waiting for Liu Peng to give a positive answer. Liu Peng really lives up to expectations: "Ban Tou Chen, I mentioned this to you a few days ago, but my thoughts were still very immature at that time. Later, I came back and thought about it carefully. I felt that although things were difficult, there was a path that was happy with the best of both worlds."

Chen Daming asked: "What path? What path should we open up."

Liu Peng immediately said, "No need for any way. I believe Uncle Chen also knows that it is definitely not possible to print a biography directly now. Moreover, even if Uncle Chen's biography is printed, everyone may not be able to read it."

Chen Daming was a big shot in Huang County, but in the whole Ming Dynasty, he was a small shot who was worse than ant. Even on this acre of three-point land in Huang County, in another thirty or fifty years, who could remember Chen Daming's name, and who was interested in Chen Daming's life?

Chen Daming felt that Liu Peng’s words were very reasonable: “Every word is right for Liu Xian’s nephew, so what’s the best of both worlds to be happy.”

Liu Peng continued: "Uncle Chen should know what book is the most printed and circulated most widely now?"

Chen Daming immediately said: "It should be a collection of time. The provincial governments have to search various collections of time every year, but no one takes this seriously."

Shiwen is the Ming version of the college entrance examination review materials. Now is the most popular era of Shiwen. No one reads the original works of "The Complete Collection of Four Books" and "The Complete Collection of Five Classics", and they directly recite Shiwen.

Moreover, the efficiency of memorizing Shiwen is very high. As long as you memorize Shiwen, you are likely to be a scholar and even a Jinshi. In the Ming Dynasty, there were even examples of memorizing Shiwen and copying articles to become a Huiyuan.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty also repeatedly issued orders to search for the current text, but the majority of imperial examination candidates had too urgent demands for the current text, and the orders to search could only be in formality in the end.

Moreover, an industrial chain has been formed around the time text. Every year, many kinds of time text collections are printed, and many bookstores specialize in selling various time texts. There are also famous teachers who comment on and teach time texts, which is simply unstoppable.

Therefore, Chen Daming asked: "The Selected Works of Shiwen should have nothing to do with me, so I will definitely not print the collection of Shiwen Works."
