Chapter 20 Bianjing Magazine
"Every ten years?"
Wen Yanbo couldn't believe what he was seeing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After today's official class, Chai Jue and "Le Lang" excitedly pulled him into the carriage.
Without saying anything, he was taken to Lejia's printing workshop.
Presumably, it was to discuss the matter of the "academic journal".
"Le Lang" handed him a manuscript of about 20 pages, saying that it was the first draft, and let him see it.
I saw that the cover had the words "Bianjing Magazine" written on the cover.
There are a few lines of small print below: "Up to astronomy and geography, there are trivial things below, and there are no trivial matters in the people's livelihood, and Bianjing small magazines pay more attention." ”
It's a bit cheesy, but it's easy to understand.
Next to it, there is a smaller line: "Five cents per book." ”
"Five cents? Wouldn't it be too cheap? ”
In the bookstore in the capital, a book with a thickness of about sixty or seventy pages costs about twenty or thirty yuan.
Le Lin replied: "The late life has already calculated the cost, and it will not be lost." ”
What she didn't say was that the improved movable type printing she proposed would cost much less than the block printing used in other printing workshops.
Movable type printing was invented by Bi Sheng at about this time.
She's not stealing a step by doing this, is she?
Originally, she also wanted to improve the copper movable type in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but unfortunately the time was limited, so she could only use the kind of cement movable type invented by Bi Sheng to print.
Further down, it reads: "This late July issue." It will be published every ten years, so stay tuned. ”
Wen Yanbo was taken aback!
"Every ten years?"
"Hmm."
"Write a book of nearly thirty pages in ten days?"
Le Lin sighed and said: "Master Wen, although most of the inaugural issues were written by me, in the future, people from all over Bianjing will submit the manuscripts, and we only need to serve as the editor-in-chief and select suitable manuscripts to publish." ”
Wen Yanbo disagreed, frowned, and said: "If all the people in Bianjing can write books and speak, then what's the use of reading people?" ”
Helplessly holding her forehead, Le Lin thought to herself that she had to spend another time to persuade the person in front of her.
"The idea of "Bianjing Magazine" is not to write any earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods, but the five words 'there is no trivial matter in people's livelihood'."
"There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood?"
Wen Yanbo was stunned when he heard this.
He hadn't heard these five words for a long time.
I haven't talked about it for a long time.
When he was a junior in the middle of the year, classmates Zhang Yu and Gao Ruone came to congratulate him on his prosperous official career.
At that time, he said brightly: "Wen Mou joined the office for the people's livelihood, not for the official career!" ”
Later, he served as the deputy envoy of Hedong as the Zhishi Museum.
At that time, the road of transporting grain and wages in the east of the river was tortuous and distant, and there was the old road of transporting grain in the Tang Dynasty outside the river of Linzhou City, which was abandoned and not managed.
He considered repairing the old road, but his staff advised him: "If this matter is not completed for two or three years, it will not be completed, but why should you make a wedding dress for the next appointment?" ”
"There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood, even if you make a wedding dress for others, what does it matter!"
He ordered the restoration of the old road, and from this he stockpiled a large amount of food.
It coincided with the invasion of the party and besieged Linzhou for ten days, knowing that the city was prepared, so they withdrew the siege.
Because of this, he was promoted exceptionally and rose to prominence.
The capital is not as small as Linzhou, and it is like a tiger, and it is very treacherous.
Unconsciously, the stunned young man who was impartial and outspoken had gradually learned to protect himself.
Wen Yanbo sighed: "There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood......"
For the sake of these five words, he will read it.
……
===================================
For half an hour, Wen Yanbo had not finished reading this "small magazine".
But, it's already out of reach.
"This is what you said, 'people's livelihood is no small matter'!"
"What's wrong?"
Wen Yanbo felt deceived in his heart, and said angrily: "What is this trivial and verbose writing? ”
He turned to the "Bianjing Statement" column on the first few pages, pointed and asked Le Lin: "Here, someone Chen in the south of the city killed the dog of his neighbor Zhang, and Zhang injured Chen's son, so small matter, why do you need to spend a whole page to narrate?" ”
Le Lin retorted: "The focus of this is not the matter itself, but the lawyer's discussion on how the parties should compensate based on the Law of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"What about this?" Wen Yanbo turned the last few pages: "What about this 'bosom friend story'? 'Marriage is destined by heaven, Mrs. Li guards the mandarin duck spectrum', grandstanding! Ridiculous! ”
This story was seen in "Three Words and Two Beats" when Lelin was in college.
Feng Menglong's "Three Words and Two Beats" in the Ming Dynasty, the story is easy to understand, and the twists and turns are bizarre, which is most suitable for "Bianjing Magazine".
She changed the story and put it up.
"I think that the common people should want to see some interesting stories after a busy day."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being," Wen Yanbo flipped to the "Bianjing Financial Management" column that made him the most angry: "What is 'financial management'?" Thou hast written this money in a great book, and thou hast thou not been ashamed? ”
Le Lin felt that she could no longer communicate with this ancient, and sighed and said, "Lord Wen, why don't you do this? You don't know about this for the time being, what will happen to this publication in the future, and it will definitely not ruin the reputation of adults, okay? ”
Then he asked Chai Jue next to him, "Your Highness, what do you say?" ”
Chai Jue didn't hear it, and only held the "Bianjing Magazine" in a daze.
Le Lin said angrily: "Third Highness! ”
She snatched his book and saw that he was turning to the last two pages, the column "Mr. Shuren Reads the Analects".
Chai Jue came back to his senses.
"Lelin," he took a deep breath and asked Lelin earnestly, "Who is this 'Mr. Treeman'?" Can you refer me? ”
Wen Yanbo was also very curious, and hurriedly flipped to the back to take a closer look.
It reads: "Zi said: The people can make it impossible to know it"
"Everyone in the world said, "The people can make it happen, but they can't know it." Master Yu Zhi also said: The way of a saint is far-reaching, and it is not easy for people to know. Let them go in the way of a gentleman, and they do not need to know what they are. ”
- The world says that Confucius said: Let the common people follow the path we guide, there is no need for them to know why. My teacher also once said: The teachings of the saints are far-reaching and difficult to understand, and it is not easy for ordinary people to understand, so just let them do what the gentleman says, and there is no need for them to know why they do it.
Seeing this, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but nodded.
Most of the "Analects" of the Northern Song Dynasty are explained according to He Yan's "Collected Interpretations of the Analects" of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and "the people can make it from it, but they cannot make it known", which is one of the most different places from later generations.
He continued to read.
Yu disagreed. Kong Sheng once said: 'I have not tasted no teachings for self-cultivation', and said: 'I never get tired of learning, and I never tire of teaching', how can there be such a saying that 'the people can make it happen, but not make it known'? ”
- I don't think so. Confucius once said: "As long as the person who voluntarily comes to me with more than ten dried meat as a courtesy, I have never failed to teach him." He also said, "Study diligently without feeling satisfied, and never get tired of teaching students." How could such a person say: "Let the people follow the path we guide, there is no need for them to know why." "In that case?
Wen Yanbo had a sigh in his heart, he had this doubt, he had also had.
Busy looking down.
"Therefore, it should be: the people may, let it be; No, let it be known. If anyone can do the way of a gentleman, let him do it; If not, let it know. ”
Therefore, the original sentence should be: If the people can, let him do it; If not, let him know how to do it.
Seeing this, Wen Yanbo was like an initiation.
Precisely!
The people may, let it be; No, let it be known.
"Who is Mr. Treeman?"
