Chapter 51: Sorting Out the Beginning and the End
Although in terms of the original status, don't say 10,000 yuan, that is, Li Xu will give 1,000 yuan and 100 yuan, and Lin Zhao will have to grit his teeth and sell it, but putting aside the value of movable type printing itself, in terms of the risk that Lin Zhao is currently taking, 10,000 yuan is really a bit of a loss.
Hearing Lin Zhao's words, Lin Yuanda's expression froze, and he smiled bitterly: "You really sold this thing at a loss, if you publicize it, in the future, San Lang's name will be recorded in the history books, which is far more valuable than 10,000 yuan." ”
"My nephew doesn't care what he will leave a name for."
Lin Zhao smiled bitterly: "What I care about is the safety of the people around me, my mother lives with me now, and this matter will also involve the Xie family of Sanyuan Bookstore, your old man is a jinshi, and the officials naturally can't help you, but we are all ordinary people, if the new Zhizhou master is unhappy, just find a reason, and send us all to prison!" ”
Lin Jian was silent.
Yang Pu, the governor of Yuezhou, was dismissed from office, and if anyone took over the position of this governor, he would have to give his former household servant some face, and even be respectful, but this new governor is from the Kang family......
The Kang family has always been known for being arrogant and unscrupulous, if he really wants to do something to Lin Zhao, Lin Jian will really have nothing to do for a while.
After he was silent for a while, he said to Lin Zhao: "It is estimated that there will be half a month before the new Zhizhou arrives, otherwise you and your mother will temporarily move out of Yuezhou, and when this matter subsides, or your uncle will return to the court as an official, how about you move back?" ”
"They really want to do something to their nephew, and it's useless to move anywhere."
Lin Zhao sighed and said in a low voice: "Seventh Uncle, with your status, they still dare to send assassins over, let alone a little person like me?" In my opinion, it's better for me to stay in Yuezhou, after all, no matter how much the official yamen wants a little face, plus Uncle Seven, you will also be in Yuezhou for half a year, and you can take care of your nephew somewhat. ”
Lin Yuanda nodded silently.
"That's right."
At this time, Yuan Dagong's mood was still slightly depressed, and he no longer had the chic demeanor he had on weekdays, he shook his head and said: "The matter of Yuezhou, Uncle Wei has already written to Chang'an City, and he should also work hard over there, and he will not let this Kang Dongping's wife and brother stay in Yuezhou all the time." ”
Yuezhou is Lin Jian's hometown, so it is naturally impossible for political opponents to be in charge of their own affairs, after all, thousands of people from the Lin family in Yuezhou are in Yuezhou, and I don't know what means the people of the Kang family used to successfully get this appointment from the Ministry of Officials.
Lin Jian entered the office as a young man, and since then he has been on the rise all the way, and he has become an official of the Sixth Department in his early forties, although he was dismissed last year, but his mentality has always been very good, and at this time in the face of the upcoming Yuezhou Zhizhou, he actually had a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The county officials are not as good as the current management, and in Yuezhou, the prince in the capital may not be as good as Zhizhou.
Lin Saburo's heart was awe-inspiring.
At this time, he was inevitably caught in this battle, of course, with his current status, he would not be seen by anyone, in this battle, he was just a small shrimp that was just enough to catch the eye.
But it's already very dangerous to be able to get people into it.
Lin Zhao sat opposite Lin Jian, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Seventh Uncle, if the new Zhizhou will really find my head, then there is only one thing they can do......"
Lin Sanlang said in a deep voice: "That's for me to come forward to prove that this thing of movable type was not made by you Seventh Uncle!" ”
Now that Lin Yuanda and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are famous in the capital because of movable type printing, the people of the Kang family will naturally be blind, and they sent people to Yuezhou, most of the purpose is to investigate this matter.
Once Lin Zhao is found in Yuezhou, they will definitely force Lin Zhao to come forward to prove that the movable type was not created by Lin Jian, so as to attack the prince's family.
Scholars are most afraid of impostoring, just this one crime can make Lin Jian ruined.
Yuan Dagong's expression was serious.
"That's true, I'm looking for Saburo today just to discuss this matter......"
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Originally, you made this thing, and it was for my uncle to covet his reputation, otherwise he wouldn't be as frightened as he is now." ”
"Uncle Seventh doesn't need to worry."
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "There is still half a month to go, we can arrange it calmly and do this seamlessly." ”
"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to see Uncle Xie and tell him the cause and effect of this incident, so that he will not leak his mouth, the movable type printing is made by me and Uncle Xie, as long as the two of us say that it was created by Uncle Seven, there will be no flaws in this matter."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao paused, and then continued: "In addition, Uncle Seven, you have also written a booklet in the past two days, indicating the prototype of the idea of movable type printing, but it cannot be exactly the same as the booklet written by Uncle Xie. ”
"You have to write crudely, and the date is best on the day you first go to see me."
The first time Lin Jian saw Lin Zhao, it was when he went to visit Zhao Xie, at that time, Lin Zhao had just started to make movable type, and there was still a month before he got it out.
With this time difference, this matter can be considered smooth.
Lin Zhao said in a low voice: "After writing, you write a note on the back, to the effect that you accidentally found a few seals in different arrangements, which can print different characters, and then wrote this idea into a booklet, and handed it to me, a junior, to find a printing workshop to try, and then try this thing." ”
"You are a scholar, it is normal for you to not know how to do your craft, as long as you do this well, no one will be able to find out the flaws, and no one will be able to attack Uncle Seven with this matter."
Lin Yuanda closed his eyes, smoothed out what Lin Zhao said, and then showed a smile on his face: "San Lang, at your age, your mind can be so meticulous, it's really amazing." ”
He pulled Lin Zhao to sit down and poured Lin Zhao a glass of wine.
"I will write out the booklet you said tonight, and let Zhao Ji send it to you tomorrow, as for Xie Sanyuan, I also ask San Lang to tell you about the benefits."
"This matter is not my reputation alone, but it involves government affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is making every effort to promote this matter in Chang'an, if it is found out by the Kang family before and after this matter, my reputation will be damaged in a small matter, and His Royal Highness the Prince's reputation will be damaged in a big matter."
"There is Lao Saburo busy."
Lin Zhao picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with Lin Jian, then he looked at Lin Jian and said, "Seventh Uncle is kind to me, and everything I do is right, but this matter is too big, I need Uncle Seventh to give me a promise." ”
Lin Jian said without hesitation: "San Lang said yes." ”
"I'm still a teenager, there's nothing to suffer, but my mother, and Uncle Xie's family in Sanyuan Bookstore, they can't endure hardship, after the new Zhizhou took office, he arrested his nephew and beat him, and the nephew gritted his teeth and suffered, and he would never betray his uncle, but my mother and Uncle Xie's family can't suffer from prison and punishment......"
The government of this era is not very reasonable, and it is very simple to arrest a person and directly punish him.
Lin Jian stood up directly and said in a deep voice to Lin Zhao.
"San Lang rest assured."
"If you don't want to be an official in the future, I can't let people bully you to this point!"
