Speculating on my mother's intention to recommend us, one is to share the power of Wu Chenghei, and the other is to intentionally give grace, or rather, to support her own cronies - with the status of the three of us, the former is mostly incidental, and the latter is the main reason, so I was relieved and bold to look for a while among the people close to me, and I was going to promote a few, but I found that among the people I used every day, there was not a single person who could really become a talent and was lacking for more than five grades. and discussed with Cui Mingde, and they all felt that they would rather recommend less than indiscriminately, so as not to doubt my mother's vision of knowing people, so in the end only three were chosen: Cui Mingde's uncle Cui Xiu, Dugu Shao's sister-in-law Luo Fengchun, and Liu Houde.

Cui Xiu is not a few years older than Cui Mingde, according to Cui Mingde, the two □□ themselves, although they are uncles and nephews, they meet like peers. The history books are all taught by him, twenty Jinshi, elected as the county of Jingxian County, the book judges all the people who are convinced, but unfortunately lost his father in less than two years, went home to keep three years, did not recover, and lost his mother, last year he was re-elected as the right pick-up, because of the cool officials in the imperial history, disdain to join the same stream, and fear of disaster, he resigned and went home to study, and is still white; Luo Fengchun is Dugu Yuankang adopted Hu Er, brave in battle, quite Yuankang blue eyes, after marriage to the rank of Guoyi Lieutenant, I have seen a few times, but the belly is strong, Liu Houde was my long history, capable, and good at figuring out the master's mind, although his character was flawed, he had never heard of any significant bad deeds when he was an official, and he was still a person who could please his mother, and he was the most suitable for me among the three.

I copied a copy of the resumes of these three people, and I didn't need to play the right format, but I used the table ingeniously, and listed the three people's years, appearance, personality, specialties, etc., and submitted them to my mother when I thought about it, and then added Wei Qing to it, and my mother didn't have much expression when she saw the first three, and she laughed when she saw the word "Wei Qing": "You don't avoid relatives." ”

I smiled and said: "Wei Qing was born in the Wei family, he is a man, and he is a good painter, although he is not a great talent, give him a five- or six-grade idle general envoy - I don't know anyone in the court, everything I can think of, and some talents are here." ”

Mother shook her head and threw my performance on the table, noncommittal. I dared to add Wei Qing to it this time, not just relying on the identity of the princess, but also to play tricks with my mother, bowed to my mother and smiled: "In addition to recommending people, there is one more matter, please send it to the saint to read." I took out the seal that Lan Sheng prepared for me—this time it was a regular format—and solemnly handed it to my mother: "Ancient and modern books, there are many scattered books, the learning of the ancestors, many are not transmitted, and the country has many things in the past, although there are things to compile and compile, or to lack of manpower, or to the abundance of things, all of which are confined to one door, not into a large collection, and today under the Qing Yan, the treasury is abundant, the book of the secret pavilion is full of thresholds, and the people who are full of learning are in the Ying Dynasty, so please repair a book, and set the bibliography of the world as a compilation, so as to highlight the culture and governance of the Holy Dynasty, and pass on the unique learning of the ancestors. ”

Since Ah Huan reminded me, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I have repeatedly discussed it with Ah Huan, Cui Mingde and several people in the house, and drafted a detailed chapter before I dared to send it to my mother. Mother has always been keen on the manifestation of virtue and sainthood, at the beginning of the throne had built the Ming Hall, and then built heaven, this year I heard that Wu Chenghei and asked to build the Vientiane Tianshu that remembers the merits of the Wu family, although the will has not been issued, but the mother has a lot of desire to approve the meaning. It's not that I disagree with the creation of these things, after all, judging from the economic theories I learned from the news reports in my previous life, these are more or less infrastructure construction, and maybe they can drive the economic development of Shendu, although not necessarily the economic development of the people- But now that the border troubles are undecided, and the war is the most expensive and food-consuming, it is better to collect the copper of the world and cast such a big and useless thing, it is better to be frugal than to compile a book, not to mention that the people who work hard in compiling books are just these doctors and gentlemen in the court, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people.

My mother was quite interested in this matter, so she took the sparse book in my hand, looked at it again and again, and then said: "You can't recommend a few people when you are asked to recommend them, but all of them are ideas that require a large number of people--compiling such a book is not an idle matter, who do you say should be in charge? How many people should be selected? Although there are many books in the secret cabinet, they are not as good as the tithes in the whole world, you say that you want to include the books of the world, where do you want to include them?"

I said, "That's the third thing I'm going to say today." He also took out a chapter and presented it to the past: "Not only to compile a book, but also to order the world's corporal to donate books, and to determine the grade, according to the number of contributions, the merits and disadvantages of the awards, to a certain amount, but also to lead the title to participate in the revision of the book, leaving a name for future generations, so that not only can the world's books be collected in one place, but also can envelop the hearts of the world's corporals." In addition, the Holy Dynasty Revolution, quite nostalgic for the old dynasty, do not think of the eunuchs, these people in the local reputation is quite famous, and not controlled by the imperial court, if you can be summoned into the court to write books, than to let the place, is not more reassuring - this book collection of ancient and modern books, is a previous thing, and then indifferent people, may not be completely moved, if a Niang is a corporal again, all kinds of preferential care, can always raise a little, these people are willing to do things for His Majesty, others in the eyes, will also follow suit, then the world's corporals, all into His Majesty's hand. ”

In fact, there is another use for compiling books, and now the publishing industry and the book industry are not very developed, scholars' home collection of books can only be seen by their own families, if they can be summoned to dedicate books, compilation, then the people involved in the compilation of books will naturally have the opportunity to see many other people's collections, so that the poor family can also read the family's learning, and the family can also have the strength of other families, in fact, it is like a very large and extremely long-lasting academic exchange meeting, more than ten years of book compilation, will be able to cultivate a lot of talents-not only the talent of the scriptures.

In my heart, if there is a condition, it is best to extract the essentials of these books, and assemble them into simple and easy-to-understand books, or as school textbooks, or as popular science for the people, or even put them in the library for people to read for free, but these are still too early, and this book must be compiled first.

In the past, I had a messy life, and I didn't have any thoughts about these things, but now I am enthusiastic, and there are a lot of ideas, but unfortunately most of them were decisively vetoed by Cui Mingde and Ah Huan, and some of them were not even allowed to mention me, saying that they involved a lot of strange taboos, and many of the remaining small parts were too unrealistic, and in the end, they went around and around, and only the way of compiling books was feasible - but it was also different from me in my own home, where I could set regulations and change the articles of association at will, and I always had to cater to my mother's heart.

I raised my head, glanced at my mother quietly, and saw that she had finished reading the second line I presented, half-squinting in thought, and lightly added a sentence on the side: "As for the editor-in-chief of this book, I think that I can be the cousin of King Wei." ”

My mother suddenly raised her eyes to look at me: "This idea is all your own idea?" Seeing that I shook my head and replied, "Half is my idea, half is Cui Mingde's", her fingers clicked a few points on the armrest, and gently read Cui Er's name, and pointed to my sparse music with a smile and said to Wan'er: "Hand-copy a copy, send it to the prime minister's court - don't remember the name." 166 Reading Network
