Chapter 148: Go to Zhang Tianshi
The matter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was finalized after the finalization, and the three families joined forces to do this, and the profit distribution and proviso were all according to what Qiu Lao Taijun said.
The technique of movable type printing was jointly studied by the five engraved bookstores who listened to Lao Taijun's theory, and Qiu Lao Taijun did not want them to monopolize the technique, and proposed that after the research of this technique, they could sell the results of this technique to other engraved bookstores for a fee.
The owners of these book-engraving shops are not stupid, and as soon as the movable type printing comes out, it will one day be imitated, so it is better to sell the "patent rights" that Qiu Lao Taijun said while they are still fresh.
Since this method was taught by Mrs. Qiu, for every "patent right" sold, Mrs. Qiu also got 40%, and the other 60% was divided equally between 5 and 5.
At first glance, it seems that Mrs. Qiu has made a big bargain, she doesn't need to do anything, neither R&D nor engraving, but she easily made a lot of profits. But this money can only be earned through the signboard of "Xinguo Mansion".
Because this technique was spread from the mansion of the Xinguo Mansion, if other carved bookstores made it out of their own shameless and said that it was their own, it would only be rejected by all the engraved bookstores. These five book-engraving shops are the leaders of the private engraving industry, and once they offend them, they usually don't have a good time.
The same is true for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is Lao Guogong, and if you flip through the pirated version, it also depends on whether the people believe in the Guogong Mansion or not. In order to offend the court officials for some money, there is no need to punish the government of Xinguo at that time, and the officials below who want to sell it well can handle it.
The status of the merchant is low, anyone can pinch it, and the Xinguo Mansion only takes fifty percent, which is already a surprise to these booksellers.
Mrs. Qiu is merciful!
Gu Qing didn't think that he could make a lot of money selling books, after all, there are few literate people in this world, and there are many literate children from poor families who can't afford to buy books.
Looking at the so many people in the Weishuang Hall who come to rub books and paper and ink, you can see that it is very difficult for children from poor families to read.
She just wanted to leave her mark in this world.
Whether it is gain or loss, the days or the days pass.
After mid-June, as Zhang Xuan predicted, it suddenly began to rain for a long time.
Most of the rain in the capital is showers, and although it is also a torrential rain, it has little impact. However, there were fast Malay newspapers in the southern prefectures of the Yangtze River, informing them that it had been raining on both sides of the Yangtze River for several days, and it was raining heavily. The water level on both sides of the river has risen sharply, and it has long passed the warning line set by the Ministry of Industry on the embankment, and it is unknown when a flood will erupt.
Xiong Le, who surveyed in various places upstream, has not yet returned, and heard that there are mudslides due to violent rainstorms in various places, Xiong Le suddenly changed his route and went to the mountains of various places after surveying the river, and was also included in a book of imperial history.
The county lord of Deyang was worried about the safety of his husband at home, and that anxiety affected Wanning, and even the tone of the letter to Li Zhao became less lively than before.
In the temple of Zhiyun.
"Grandmother, it's raining so hard that the vegetables in the vegetable field are almost gone." Li Zhao said to Gu Qing with a sad face: "The day before yesterday, the wind was strong, and even the bamboo duck house was blown down. ”
Gu Qing doesn't know how many times he has experienced heavy rain in modern times, but the drainage in modern times is better than in ancient times, and there is no such situation of backfilling as soon as it rains.
I heard that their mansion was designed by a skilled craftsman from the Ministry of Works, and the main house and important courtyard were raised to the topography, except for the window paper and window screens to be replaced, but there was nothing bad about it.
But even so, many of the lower rooms were later flooded, and their shoes were wet when they walked.
"At this time, just leave the dishes alone, as long as the people and ducks are fine." I heard that when Li Zhao went to see the vegetable field, he was hit by a blown bamboo fence, and Gu Qing was scared to death when he heard this.
Is it okay to crush people to death if the signboard is blown down by a strong wind? Although it's just a bamboo fence, what if you poke your eyes and nose!
"Vegetables can be replanted."
Li Zhao goes out with a little girl, what else can happen? However, Li Zhao was still very moved, although the dishes are indeed a pity, but think about it, the most valuable thing in the vegetable field is indeed him!
Catch up with Ming'er, he wrote a letter to Wanning, and that's it!
What does it matter if the flowers are blown away, it's good that she doesn't have a problem!
Flowers can be replanted!
Gu Qing looked at the cloudy sky outside, and then thought of Zhang Xuan's prediction, and became deeply worried about the people in the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin. Her home is in a river city, and she still has a trace of the flood in '98, when she had to go to school, she had to wade through thigh-deep roads, and the furniture of residents in low-lying areas was floating on the water.
There are also houses covered with mud and sand after the flood waters receded. Everything was buried in the mud brought by the water, and it took a long time to clean it up.
Can such a low house really withstand flooding?
"Mama Hua, after the flood, it can cause typhoid fever and cholera, and the water source will be polluted during the flood, raw water cannot be directly drunk, and moldy, drowned birds and livestock cannot be eaten, if I want to remind others not to do this, how can I let everyone know about it?"
This is an era when there is no telephone and no television, and although her ideas are not unusual, it is really difficult to make all the people aware of the dangers of these secondary disasters.
"If the imperial court issues a notice to the prefectures, and the prefectures post announcements, and send the lieutenant and township chiefs to various places to publicize, they can be popularized if they want to come. It's just that I want the court to report, and it seems that I still have to invite the prince to come here. Mama Hua knew that Mrs. Qiu was gradually becoming different now, but she was so worried about the world, which still made her very emotional.
She didn't even care about the backyard before.
Gu Qing couldn't explain to Li Mao why he knew so much about the Dao, looking at Old Taijun Qiu's memories, most of them were droughts rather than floods. As someone who has never experienced a flood, it is ridiculous to think that he knows how to prevent the dangers caused by floods.
But as a modern person, she couldn't sit still when she saw that the disaster was likely to worsen and didn't warn her.
But in Da Chu, it was really difficult for her to find another heavyweight to remind her of this. She can't even go out of the backyard, even if she does, why should people believe her?
"That's it, Mama Hua, you go to the front and tell the next person that Li Mao is back and comes directly to my courtyard."
Li Mao hadn't eaten in the house for a long time. The soldiers of the Fenzhou Racecourse and the Dingbei Army were escorted to the capital, because now there is a flood in the Jiangnan area, and these thousands of people have been punished for all kinds of hard labor, and the Chinese army pressed them to the Jiangnan Prefectures, scattered and consolidated the various sections of the river defense.
But looking at the momentum of the torrential rain for several days, I am afraid that these people have not yet reached the south.
Don't go from building a river to a disaster relief job, that's too much trouble.
Although these people got rid of the military and became lowly hard laborers, before they arrived at the local state capitals and were taken over by the locals, they were the responsibility of the military department, not to mention the Chinese army that escorted them out of Beijing.
The Chinese army has become a professional rescue team in recent years, and the emperor does not dare to fully trust the Dingbei army now, and even the new Zhenbei general has not yet figured out who to use. The situation in the west of the Western Army cannot be easily moved. The southern army was dominated by naval troops, and the eastern army existed in name only, and there were not enough soldiers, so the Chinese army brought out by Li Laoguo suddenly became the elite of the elite, and one was used for two.
Li Mao was tired and just wanted to take a day off and have a good rest, and when he heard that his mother was looking for him, he didn't dare to look tired anymore, so he hurriedly cheered up and went to Zhiyun Courtyard.
His wife and children are still in the Clouds. Could it be that his wife is about to give birth?
Li Mao was so frightened that he hurriedly ran.
Wen Po will only arrive tomorrow! Wu Yuzhou checked all the people's backgrounds before he dared to send it to him!
When Li Mao arrived at Zhiyun Courtyard, he heard Gu Qing's many concerns, and asked Gu Qing hesitantly:
"Mother, it's not difficult for me to play these things, but how did you know that there are so many ...... of the Dao," he didn't continue.
After all, things like landslides, landslides, and diseases are really not things that an old woman in the backyard who stays at home should know.
"Last time Zhang Daochang came to visit me, I was curious about the flood and asked him a few words, and he said it." Gu Qing couldn't help but not look at Mama Hua's slightly surprised expression, and continued to open her eyes and say nonsense: "At that time, I put it in my heart after he said it, I was really worried, and I couldn't help but call you over to give a few words." ”
"I see." Li Mao rubbed his beard and muttered for a while, "Zhang Xuan was born in Longhu Mountain, and the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master Dao have organized the Taoist people to help the world and save people in all dynasties, but they will appear in all major droughts, floods, ground movements, and snow disasters. It's normal for them to have a lot of experience. ”
"Mother, it is certainly fast for the news of these things you said to be released through the imperial court, but in terms of the spread effect and acceptance among the people, I am afraid that it is more convenient for the Taoist masters of the Heavenly Master Dao to travel all over the country. The people believe in gods and Buddhas, and if the imperial court issues a lot of precautions, it is easy to cause panic, but if the Taoist priests first 'predict the heavenly opportunity' to save the people, it will become a merit. This can be done in two ways, with the imperial court supporting the spread of virtue and government, and at the same time making every effort to prevent floods. ”
"My son will go back and draw up an excerpt, whether the court will make an announcement, and when it will be published, but my son is not sure." Maybe the list will not be released until there is a flood, so it is very possible not to cause panic before the disaster.
"If your mother is really concerned, you can ask Zhang Daochang to come and let his master, Zhang Tianshi of Heavenly Master Dao, come forward and order the people of the world to take precautions. You have a personal relationship with Zhang Daochang, but I don't have any friendship with him, if I go to use my power to oppress people, it will not be appropriate. This matter is conducive to the Heavenly Master's preaching and saving people, and I will not object to it when I think I come to Longhu Mountain. ”
"It's just that some people inevitably say that our house manipulates the Dao Sect to control public opinion, and it's best not to let too many people know about this matter."
Li Mao thought a lot, if there was a flood this time, it would be easy for the poor people in the south of the Yangtze River to escape, and it would be good to pack up the soft in the house and take refuge in high places, but the family has a wide circle of fertile land, and occupies a rich land, enjoying the convenience of many hidden households.
It's hard to say what kind of changes will be in the court at that time.
There is no doubt that the emperor must be happy to see this situation, if the most fundamental manor and field of the family is destroyed, it will definitely be greatly damaged, as the Jiangnan family has always provided money, food and other material support for the officials of the family group, it has always been a big taboo in the hearts of the former emperor and the current emperor.
But there are no eggs under the nest, and if the emperor indulges the expansion of the disaster, maybe the people will also suffer.
Li Mao didn't worry about whether the clan would be damaged, but once the people were affected, the foundation of Great Chu would be really shaken.
He can't bet.
It seems that we have to find a way to talk to Jiang Daoqi.
Gu Qing sent Li Mao away, and sat there for a long time.
She just casually pulled out Zhang Xuan as a shield, but she didn't think that Zhang Xuan might really have a role.
The Taoist priests of this era are different from the fake Taoist priests who can only practice and cheat money in the world later, and the Taoist leaders who are pure and inactive are still sought after by many people, whether they are the clan or the common people, the acceptance of the Taoist sect is very high.
From Zhang Xuan, a Taoist priest can be an official, I know the official perception of Taoist priests.
I heard that there are also many dignitaries who are disciples of the Heavenly Master's Taoist sect who practice at home and believe in the religion.
This kind of point to point, immediately thought of the ability to use the situation, is it Li Mao's talent?
Could it be that because he is not outstanding in intelligence and does not have too strong strength, he is used to using other people's strength to accomplish the goals he wants to achieve?
Perhaps because of his cautious and timid character, he must have taken advantage of a win-win situation, never giving people the opportunity to criticize and resent, and making people especially happy to do it.
What a terrible ability!
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is a must!
Forget it, invite Zhang Xuan to come over early tomorrow morning and see what can be done to be serious.
Anyway, he is also idle, and at a glance, he knows that Lu Dao often slips out of work.
Gu Qing stopped thinking about what he didn't have. In this Xinguo Mansion, from Li Mao to several children, each of them can give her many surprises in a minute. The bear child Li Zhao is actually amazing in mathematics, Li Xiaodu never forgets that his memory is terrible, Li Xiaopang is extremely powerful, and his motor nerves are developed, and Li Mao is alive and well.
How much does God favor this family, so that all the men in their family are so special?
Uh, Li Jun...... Was Li Jun forgotten by God?
Is it special to offend people?
Gu Qing was talking about Li Jun, and Li Jun finally arrived in Lingyuan County, Fenzhou, and was witnessing various human tragedies caused by Zuo Shaoqing.
"You are Li Jun, who Lord Siqing specially asked for from the Ministry of Officials?" Qi Xuan, the left Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, glanced at Li Jun as if he was looking at something strange, "To what extent do you speak?" ”
“…… Xia Guan has only been learning the Chinese language for two months. ”
“(**&……&¥¥?” Qi Xuan suddenly burst out with a sentence.
And Li Jun can only understand the words "for what" and "useful".
Combined with Zuo Shaoqing's expression and the amazing experience of playing foolish at home, Li Jun intuitively thought that what this Lord Zuo Shaoqing said would definitely not be a compliment to him.
Secretly swearing someone or something in the dialect, this is a foul, right? Yes?
Qi Xuan looked at Li Jun with an ignorant expression, and his disdain became even greater.
"I don't understand such a simple language. There are three large tribes and more than a dozen small tribes in the desert grassland outside Fenzhou, and each tribe has a slightly different language. The Suluk tribe you know is only the small tribe closest to the Han people, and they have been influenced by the Han people to speak some Chinese, but most of the places still use the Chinese language. ”
Zuo Shaoqing has a cold face, which is really unlikeable.
When he raised his face to train people, Li Jun was even more uncomfortable.
"We want to open Hu City, we can't rely on Suluk's people to translate, this will become very passive, you hurry up and learn the Chinese for me, if you just use the name of the Xinguo Mansion to ask for an official, I advise you to resign as soon as possible."
"Because I'm not going to let you go on forever."
Li Jun listened to the ridicule of his mother-in-law since he was a child, so he didn't feel ashamed, but he felt a little nostalgic for Zuo Shaoqing's warning, and he could still smile and bow down at the moment, and thank him for his teachings first.
Qi Xuan saw that this newcomer didn't seem to be arrogant and rude, his personality was quite gentle and modest, and he already had a good impression in his heart, but the cold color on his face did not decrease.
He nodded to Li Jun, regarded as accepting his new assistant, and walked towards Master Fan.
The people behind Master Fan had already shown an expression of "going to die, going to die, going to die", only Master Fan's face remained unchanged, with the demeanor of a general.
Li Jun listened to Wang Yiguan tell a lot of Zuo Shaoqing's past all the way, and he was already curious about him before he saw him, and seeing that Master Fan didn't look worried at all, Li Jun also praised him.
Ginger is still old and spicy.
"I and the Qiang people have only walked for more than ten days with the mission, and you have to travel for a month, could it be that it is not the horses that pull the cart but you? Are you so powerful and powerful? ”
All:......
"We carry a heavy load, for the safety of our belongings, we must live all the way to the post station, there will always be delays on the road, and it is not as simple as Lord Zuo Shaoqing." Master Fan replied calmly.
"So, you've been in the inn all the way?" As soon as Zuo Shaoqing heard it, he knew what was going on, and his face became unpleasant.
"We have been waiting here for more than half a month, and the people have to hunt and cut wool in the summer, which is the busy season, but for this batch of things, we have been in Lingyuan County for a long time, and there is also friction with the local residents."
Zuo Shaoqing looked at Master Fan, "As a leader, you delay your errand, if there is a conflict between the Qian and the Han, you and I should be the guilty?" ”
Zuo Shaoqing's words were stern, and the general demeanor of Master Fan was gone, but he still held his neck.
"I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, I'm your superior, I must be my deserving. But I'm the Shangguan, and before I was punished, I dragged you into the water, okay? Zuo Shaoqing had an expression of "I am just unreasonable, you dare to provoke unreasonable people".
At this moment, Master Fan was in a cold sweat.
"Xia Guan would never dare to think like this."
"Why don't you dare think so? That's what you do. Zuo Shaoqing owes this old slipper a good impression at all, "My expenses at the post station have been accounted for, after returning to Beijing, if you have more expenses than me, make up for it yourself, don't think that I and You Shaoqing will give you an approval." ”
He hated these people for abusing their power for personal gain and taking the opportunity to retaliate. If he makes a mistake in official business, he can just point it out and use it to play on the topic, but he still delays important matters knowing that there is something important to deal with, which is a crime of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. He still needs to use him now, and he has no energy to fight with him.
When it's over, let's see if he can laugh out.
Li Jun looked at Qi Xuan's few words, which led to a leisurely and calm Fan master book full of big men, and his heart was really shocked.
said that he can't speak, and he always offends people, he should come to see this Zuo Shaoqing!
Every time he offends someone, he doesn't mean it, this is Hongguoguo's slap in the face!
Will he really be able to make it back alive if he assists in the errand?
You won't be ashamed enough to kill yourself, will you?
The author has something to say: Zhang Xuan is going to come out to play soy sauce again in the next chapter.
I think this is the best small theater.
