Chapter 031: The Publication of "The Story of the Stone" (1)
After the first ten times were printed, Lin Wan'er prepared the corresponding matters properly, and went to the Publishing Department of the Ministry of Rites with Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen, which was set up in the north of Shangjing City. Ordinary people have the saying of "ink fragrance", but only those who have been deeply involved in books know that the books have just been printed, slightly hot, and what wafts out is a pungent fishy smell, and the word "incense" is still separated by 108,000 miles.
Since the founding of the Great Wei State, the management of printing has been relatively lax, and it is not as big as the previous dynasty, and it has been used by traitors and villains to frame countless loyal people. Now the Zhao family is in the world, and it was a famous family in the previous dynasty, and it was also because the head of the Zhao family wrote a poem back then, which was used by people with ill intentions. In addition, at that time, the heroes rose together, and they were called emperors and kings, and the Zhao family rose up and established a great Wei state.
Although the current imperial court has abolished the literary prison, it has specially set up such a publishing department, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and is in charge of the world's book publishing.
Lin Wan'er drove to the publishing department, looked up at the three words "Publishing Department" hanging on the yamen beam, and there was a swallow's nest on the beam.
Lin Wan'er got out of the car and asked the official on duty in the court, but the official was not embarrassed, so he took Lin Wan'er to the hall and said, "Wait a minute." So they went behind the yamen.
Lin Wan'er has a lot of surrounding scenes at this time, and it is really the Qingshui Yamen who can't get oil and water, which is far from the impression of the publishing house before she crossed, but if you think about it carefully, it is clear. It's true that productivity is not as high as in the 21st century, for example, these books have their own fixed publication numbers, and there is no need to register. Most of the people who can write and publish books are officials. This little publishing department has to look at their faces, and where can they have the courage to give them faces.
Lin Wan'er was pondering, and Zhu Zhishan, the head of the publishing department, walked out of the back hall, his face was slightly fat, but he was thin and short. He has a mustache. Habitually bent over, and asked very enthusiastically, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”
Lin Wan'er was not used to the other party's politeness for a while, and she was ready to face layers of tests. turned out to be facing the spring breeze, and it seems that the so-called Pan family is covering the sky in Shangjing with one hand. Lin Wan'er also bent down and replied, "Lin Wan'er." ”
Zhu Zhishan was stunned, and his usual smile appeared on his face again: "It turned out to be the Wan'er girl who entered the Xiaowen List." Look up for a long time. After the politeness was over, Zhu Zhishan immediately stepped into the topic: "I don't know what Miss Wan'er came to the publishing department for?" ”
Lin Wan'er has sorted out the text that she needs to bring. He also brought a printed copy and handed it over, and said, "Lord Zhu, Wan'er is here for publication this time, please open the door of convenience." ”
Zhu Zhishan said, "It's easy to say." It's good to say", took the sample handed over by Lin Wan'er, and sat back in the chair. Flipped through a few pages, and was slightly stunned as he flipped the pages. The book is mixed with two thin silver tickets, although the silver tickets are thin, but the numbers on them are not thin, one is one hundred taels, and two are two hundred taels.
Zhu Zhishan couldn't help but want to cry, after squatting in this Qingshui Yamen for so many years, no one sent the silver up, and now he finally saw the legendary silver ticket, which was still two hundred taels, and it was reasonable to want to cry.
Zhu Zhishan looked up at Lin Wan'er, let out a long sigh in his heart, and then wrote it quietly and pretending to be wonderful, and the official immediately approved it. ”
Lin Wan'er shouted "yes" in her heart, she didn't expect things to be so simple. Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen also glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Zhu Zhishan walked behind the huge desk in the Yamen Hall, took out the big seal, opened his mouth at the big seal, exhaled fiercely, and lifted the big seal above his head.
However, the Great Seal was held high above his head, but it did not fall for a long time, and Zhu Zhishan seemed to be frozen at that moment.
Lin Wan'er looked forward to seeing Zhu Zhishan's behavior like this, she felt inexplicable, and reminded her loudly: "Lord Zhu?!" ”
Zhu Zhishan held the big seal and looked up at Lin Wan'er, maybe the big seal had been held for too long, and his breath was a little rough.
"Lord Zhu, fall, drop the big seal." Lin Wan'er urged in a somewhat anxious tone.
Zhu Zhishan just refused to leave the big seal, and the scene was a little funny.
"Haha, haha." A few very happy laughter came from the back hall, and a neatly and gorgeously dressed son walked out, the clothes on his body were fine Jiangnan ice blue silk, long mink leather boots, and a jade belt inlaid with gems around his waist, looking at Lin Wan'er's anxious appearance, his tone was indescribably proud: "Lin Wan'er, do you know who I am?" ”
Lin Wan'er snorted coldly, and when she saw this person's arrogant and smug appearance, she knew that the other party was Prime Minister Pan's only seedling brother Pan Renmei, but she said: "The first time we met, I don't know who the son is." ”
Pan Renmei was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Lin Wan'er to answer like this, and replied by herself: "Under Pan Renmei? ”
Lin Wan'er pretended to suddenly realize, clapped her hands together, and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Pan, I forgive Wan'er for being clumsy and didn't see it." ”
Pan Renmei gestured to Zhu Zhishan, and Zhu Zhishan put down the big seal, rubbed his somewhat sour shoulders, bent down slightly, and looked down at a certain place on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
It turned out that this qiē was all calculated by Pan Renmei, and Zhu Zhishan was just making a false accusation, deliberately appearing to be very good at talking, arousing Lin Wan'er's interest and appetite, and then hanging at a critical moment, at this time, Pan Renmei came out again, just to see Lin Wan'er's jokes.
Pan Renmei walked to the desk, picked it up, flipped through a few pages casually, and said, "This is a good writing, it is the best book this son has ever read." Miss Wan'er also wrote one, but unfortunately it was not published in the capital, but this son has read it, it is magical and beautiful, and it is also a rare good book, but in comparison, this one is better. ”
A silver ticket suddenly fell out, like a snowflake in the capital, and fell to the ground extremely eye-catching, Pan Renmei picked up the silver ticket with two fingers, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Miss Wan'er, I thought you were a delicate and transparent person who didn't touch the dust, but I didn't expect to know how to do things with silver, but I want to ask, does Miss Wan'er know what the crime of bribing the court officials is?" A full hundred taels, that's going to lose your head. ”
Liu Hongda was extremely shocked in his heart, the Great Wei State punished corrupt officials very severely, the dismissal and investigation were extremely light, and exile at the border and killing heads and raiding homes were also common, and the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty also clearly wrote that those who took bribes were guilty of the same crime. Liu Hongda stood up and said, "Mr. Pan, the hundred taels of silver are down, and I accidentally carried them in when I went out this morning." ”
Pan Renmei smiled and shook her head, even if what Liu Hongda said was true, Pan Renmei would not believe it, and she must seize this opportunity.
Lin Wan'er looked at Zhu Zhishan, there were obviously two silver tickets in the book, but now only one fell out, thinking that one had been taken away by Zhu Zhishan. Zhu Zhishan felt Lin Wan'er's gaze, looked up and looked at Lin Wan'er, his heart was timid, and he hid and fell his eyes to the side.
Pan Renmei didn't know that it was boring, and she played the silver ticket in front of Lin Wan'er's eyes as if she was showing off her might, and just wanted to open her mouth to taunt Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er suddenly pounced on Pan Renmei's arm like an angry little tiger, Pan Renmei couldn't bear the pain, "Oops" screamed, her hand was loosened, and the silver ticket fell.
Pan Renmei screamed, holding her faintly bloodstained arm with one hand: "Lin Wan'er, you ......"
Where would Lin Wan'er care about Pan Renmei's reaction, stuffed the silver ticket into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, it might taste really bad, chewing it to smash but not swallowing. Lin Wan'er chewed the silver ticket from her left cheek to her right cheek, her face was flushed, but she just couldn't swallow it.
Pan Renmei was shocked, Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen were also shocked, and even Shen Songwen couldn't help but grow his mouth, who would have thought that Lin Wan'er would use such a scoundrel method to destroy the evidence.
Lin Wan'er picked up the teapot on the desk, poured several sips of tea, and forcibly swallowed the silver ticket. Lin Wan'er touched her chest with both hands, smoothed downward, opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, and said: "What bribed the imperial court officials, who bribed the imperial court officials, why didn't I see it, what about the evidence, what about the evidence?" Mr. Pan, don't lie to good people. ”
Pan Renmei stared at Lin Wan'er speechless, how could the originally foolproof thing be lightly resolved by Lin Wan'er with this scoundrel method, but Pan Renmei was not discouraged, pointed to the desk, and said: "Lin Wan'er, you don't have to be complacent, this book can't be published." ”
Lin Wan'er's eyes rolled, like a cunning little fox, her body moved towards the desk without a trace, and a burst of brilliance suddenly bloomed on her face, grabbing the big seal with one hand and grabbing it with the other.
Since the soft one is not good, Lin Wan'er will come to the hard one, if she hadn't done these things before. Lin Wan'er was very angry today, she used to let others jump by herself, but she didn't expect to be pecked by the eagle after catching an eagle for a lifetime. (To be continued)
