Chapter 70 Pencil Refinement Fees
"My teacher, has that book "Hengqu Piaolu" been repaired?"
When Wang Ju came back in the first month of the year, he sorted out more than 30,000 words of manuscripts, and later compiled nearly 20,000 words of manuscripts. However, after Zhang Zai repeatedly revised them, most of them were deleted, with only 20,000 words.
It's not bad. Now it's printed in large characters, butterfly binding books, and can print out a booklet with about one hundred pages.
However, writing books in this era was too important, so Zhang Zai revised them repeatedly. Cao Xuejiang wrote "Dream of Red Mansions" eight times, and Zhang Zai almost practiced them twenty times.
Jingde Wang Ju was frightened. If he handed over the later divine book "From Slash" to Zhang Zai to modify, how many years would it take to modify it? That would be a collapse.
"It's almost done."
Maybe Zhang Zai is not satisfied.
Wang Ju took out the thing without saying a word.
"Basic beads?"
"Have you seen it?"
"I've seen it in the capital, but it's not as easy to use as bamboo chips."
The abacus is not as good as the bamboo shoot? Wang Juxiangle, so he took out a few more pieces of paper with dense words written on it. It is abacus oral. There are a lot of words, but it is not as comprehensive as the abacus oral of later generations, but the annotations are clear.
After looking carefully for a long time, Zhang Zai took it over to the abacus and thought about it while beating it. After a while, he said, "This is a good thing."
Arithmetic was a path in the Song Dynasty, which made Wang Ju speechless. Mathematics is the mother of science and became a path. However, if science is not done well, it will be bitten into a strange trick, and it will be even more speechless.
But Zhang Zai is different from the two Chengs. He is not a stubborn person who can bring peace to the world for all generations. If you don’t mention Guan Zhong’s words, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. Confucius also said, “How can you be so common!” Ran You said, “If you are so common, why should you be more than rich?” He said, “If you are so rich, why should you be more than rich?” He said, “Teaching you.”
Only when someone is rich can he become richer. The more people there are, the richer they are. Labor is the foundation for creating wealth.
Only when you are rich can you talk about upbringing. Think about it, you will be hungry to death. How many people can continue to abide by morality and talk about upbringing?
If you want to be rich, you have to learn financial management, and if you want to be rich, you have to learn arithmetic.
"Wang Ju, how do you plan to use it?"
“I want to attach it to this booklet.”
Ci is a path, and it will be used to add icing on Su Dongpo.
The name is also a small path, but it was put on Cai Jing and formed the path of power prime minister and the path of destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty really didn't care, but they made Wang Anshi's reputation a reality and were also used by Sima Guang, which made Wang Anshi feel disgusting.
But it cannot be placed on itself, first of all, it cannot be explained, and secondly, it may even become evil.
So I pushed the credit to the teacher again. The teacher has a reputation, but fortunately I continued to stroke behind me.
Zhang Zai didn't care about Wang Ju's scruples. He also realized that this disciple might not be as terrible as Cheng Kan said, but some little chickens had a lot of intestines and had many thoughts.
"I want to put it in the book, this text is a bit messy."
"Mr., then you can modify it quickly. Mr. Zhu has hired a sculptor and is waiting for this book." Wang Ju was anxious. If you want to modify it again, you have to change it to that day?
"You... Cheng Gong wrote a letter saying that you are tricky, and Zhu Yuanwai said that you are decisive in doing things, but it doesn't matter. Ten years of trees and a hundred years of culture. Even if you have a naughty personality like Zhou Chu, or Yao Chong's youth, wouldn't you become a famous general in a generation? You have to study hard and learn to be a good person and a good official. If you focus on governing the country and saving the people, I believe you will save more and more people."
"Don't worry, my teacher."
"Although the country is good, it is not as good as the Kaiyuan Wenjing."
During the Kaiyuan period, the rule of Wenjing still could not avoid these tragic things. Behind productivity, helpless! Unless the soldiers, farmers, industry and commerce make a reversal, change them to workers, peasants, commerce and commerce, and vigorously develop science and technology.
But Wang Ju dared not say that, I'm afraid even Zhang Zai would not be able to accept this concept.
However, many of the problems of the Song Dynasty became more and more serious, which made Zhang Zai sigh.
"You talk about Confucianism, but in fact, Confucianism should not talk about many great principles. To manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world, to be rich in the people, and to be peaceful forever..."
Wang Ju was fixed, and the four sentences of Hengqu were about to form.
"So, although I don't like it or object to you, I must remember one of my words. People, my fellow countrymen, things, and me."
"Mind, my compatriots, things, I am with me." Wang Ju murmured.
Think about the four sentences of Hengqu in the future and these sentences. How else would Wang Ju feel in the face of this kind of mind besides being respectful and depressed?
It was the strongest roar that Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty raised his scholars.
But it was awesome.
However, Zhang Zai's personality is not suitable for being an official, and his enterprising spirit is too weak. Wang Ju once said that if you learn from Su Dongpo, Ouyang Xiu and others, at least these people are "gentlemen". What should you learn? You can write letters to the government affairs in normal times, but anyway, those who speak are not guilty. If you write letters from time to time, the emperor and the boss will remember that there are still people in the local area. If you ask about your political achievements, your political achievements will not be bad. If you have any vacancy in the future, you will be given priority to relocate them.
If you are lucky, the emperor will personally inspect and transfer back to the capital to participate in the system (the emperor presides over the imperial examinations, such as virtuous, upright and upright, well-informed and admonished, well-versed in education, talent and knowledge are both brilliant and wise, and has a general, and is able to serve as a general, and is detailed in political skills and can be used as a general, and it involves all aspects of civil and military affairs, talent, virtue, and political affairs. It is convenient to focus on cultivating officials and promote missed talents among the people), or if you have a better luck, you can participate in virtuous, well-established and upright subjects like Su Dongpo. Like Zhang Fangping and Fu Bi, you can also get a master of talent and talent, so you can achieve success with Zhang Zai's talent and virtue.
But Zhang Zai said: "Serious disciple, look for a fight."
Before he fought, he said again: "A gentleman establishes virtue and seeks the way, how can he use the wrong way to seek wealth and honor. If he survives, I will obey. If he doesn't, I will still be."
This strong gentlemanly style made Wang Ju feel ashamed. But in fact, this humble gentlemanly style is not suitable for being in the officialdom.
"You are too utilitarian, and I don't like it. But remember that you should be at least upright. Mr. Cheng said that you will be Ding Wei, so don't be Ding Wei."
"Disciple remember it."
Zhang Zai did not delay this time, and Zhu Huan got the manuscript the next day.
Now Zhu Huan attaches more and more importance to Wang Ju, not only the wealth he brought, but also the career path. Zhu Jun went to the imperial examination in Beijing, including him, and several Yanzhou students were not surprised and failed.
But in this era, it is not enough to have money but no power. Especially after Yanzhou's territory, this time, fine salt allows everyone to clearly feel this.
It is still early for Wang Ju to embark on the road to becoming a high-ranking official, so let’s get a name for him first.
Almost regardless of the work, I took the manuscript from the ninth day of July and took the sample book over on August 28th day in just fifty days.
"Huh," Zhang Zai was surprised when he looked at the sample book.
"It's good to bind like this." Zhang Zai quickly realized its value.
That is, if a thread-bound book can be printed on both sides, it saves half of the paper than the original butterfly package, the cost of the book will be 20% cheaper. If the book is cheaper, more people will buy books.
Wang Ju scratched his head and said in his heart that this is the beginning. Once bamboo paper is completed, the price of books will drop by half, or even more than half.
But this technique cannot be explained, so Wang Ju told Zhu Huan not to disclose it to the outside world, including Zhang Zai.
Zhang Zai was looking through the sample book again, feeling a little satisfied.
Wang Ju was amused in his heart.
The Song Dynasty often said that he was catching a son-in-law under the list. Wang Ju suspected that Zhang Zai was also captured. For no reason, Zhang Zai was born in Shaanxi and had been active in Shaanxi before he became a Jinshi. However, Guo was from Chenzhou and was married after he was a Jinshi.
Moreover, Guo's jewelry and clothing are not as good as those from ordinary families. Not to mention that Zhang Zai is a county magistrate, a clean official, and a grassroots official, how much money can he have in his hands.
Sometimes Wang Ju wanted to ask, but he didn't know what Zhang Zai thought, so he didn't ask. However, Zhang Zai was arrogant and did not benefit from the Guo family. He was honest in his official position and was equally indifferent to power.
But as a literati, he doesn’t love money or power, but he loves fame.
There is also an unexpected surprise in this book.
The book was released, and Zhang Zai was benefited from Wang Ju's light, including the publication of books, and some of Wang Ju's secret inspirations. At least in this book, Zhang Zai's Confucian views began to mature. Wang Ju also benefited from Zhang Zai's light. Without Zhang Zai, there might not be so many scholars who agreed.
But Wang Ju is from Yanzhou, a cultural desert in the Song Dynasty, and the pride of scholars in Yanzhou.
Therefore, a thousand copies were printed first, but the number was not large. In addition, binding books were cheaper, so they were snapped up as soon as they came out. The Zhu brothers, the Zhao brothers, You Tao and Yang Du made fifty copies each. Wang Xiaolang is my friend. Should we use it to send it to people?
A few teenagers were making trouble, but they woke up the twenty salt households involved in fine salt in Yanzhou. Yes, this can also be regarded as a kind of show of goodwill.
So before I came out, I was taken over by 90%.
Yanzhou has never been a Jinshi, and it is rare to have a talent. So the scholars competed to praise him, so Qin was a little nervous. The Double Ninth Festival was here, and the Double Ninth Festival in the Song Dynasty was much more grand than the Mid-Autumn Festival. So Li Wan asked Li Wan to bring Li Fei'er to Yunyan to take a look.
The brother and sister came and brought a money-making fee...
