Chapter 106: Lao Tzu Wants to Be a Title Sponsor (Ask for Recommendation Collection)

The evening was refreshed.

It's a big deal.

Don't talk about contribution, even if you pay money, he doesn't frown - "Yongle Canon" is a cultural treasure of ancient and modern civilizations, and its value cannot be measured by money, and it is a real heirloom treasure.

"What is Your Majesty worried about?" ”

Zhu Di was worried, "I remember you said that it will take several years to compile this complete book, bringing together thousands of ancient and modern books, including scriptures, history, sub-books, collections, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, agriculture, etc., this is not a small effort, it requires a huge financial budget, and it requires a large number of people. ”

Dusk nodded, "Your Majesty has retreated?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head, "Not really." ”

He added, "Tell me how you want to operate this compilation." ”

In the dusk, he racked his brains to think about how Zhu Di compiled the "Yongle Canon", and finally said: "Actually, it's not difficult, still let President Xie Jin, but he may not be able to understand the importance of this book, so His Majesty needs to put pressure on him, you might as well let another person be Xie Jin's deputy, so that Xie Jin knows that he has a heavy responsibility, so he can go all out." ”

Zhu Di said that it was feasible, "Who will be Xie Jin's deputy?" ”

Dusk said as a matter of course: "It must be Daoyan." ”

This old monk doesn't care much about the government now, unless Zhu Di looks for him for something important, he will give advice - the old monk's dream is to rebel, and now that it has been achieved, he has lost his goal in life.

So the old monks are now more about promoting the Dharma.

But don't underestimate the talent of the old monk.

Song Lian, the first scholar in the early Ming Dynasty, praised the old monk very highly, and what kind of identity the old monk was, since the martyrdom, he only gave Zhu Di as a deputy and asked him to go to the battle, Xie Jin should understand what kind of task he received.

Zhu Di hesitated slightly, "Will Dao Yan agree?" ”

Twilight smiled but didn't say anything.

This is your business, you can't shout the words of the old monk, and no one in the world can shout moving.

Seeing this, Zhu Di said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

He also said: "In terms of manpower, relying only on the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian is afraid that it will be overstretched. ”

Dusk sighed, "Your Majesty, with such a book, you still want to rely only on the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian?" How many decades did it take to fix it? This matter requires the strength of the whole country! ”

Zhu Di hesitated slightly.

Dusk took advantage of the heat, "Your Majesty and don't scruple too much, devote the country's strength to edit a whole book, what a grand event, but the participants feel that they are not honored, this is their opportunity to leave a name in history, is to give the wealth to future generations, so this matter, must move the country's readers." ”

The largest part of the compilation of the whole book is the copyist.

Since it is a copying book, you have to find someone with good writing to write, in the feudal era, you can't write well, and it's not easy to see people when you say it, not to mention the book that has been handed down to future generations.

In the feudal era, there were many readers, but according to the ratio, there were not many.

There are fewer words that are well written.

Therefore, we must devote our efforts to the country.

Besides, Dusk still has selfish intentions: he wants to get a "Xinhua Dictionary" out, and he also needs a lot of manpower, Wu and Bi have memorized the twenty-six pinyin letters upside down, but the "Xinhua Dictionary" is not only pinyin, but also the classification and interpretation of words.

To put it bluntly, it is to compile an alternative book of "Collection Rhyme" and "Guangyun".

So people are also needed.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time, "Then mobilize the country's readers?" ”

Dusk cut categorically, "It must be mobilized." ”

If you don't mobilize the whole country, you will rely on the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy, which is obviously not enough.

Zhu Di asked weakly, "How many people are there?" ”

Dusk pondered for a while, "If there are only 1,000 people, it will take about 20 years, if it is 2,000 people, it will be about 10 years, and if you want to compile it in five or six years, you need at least 3,000 people." ”

At least three thousand?!

Zhu Di gasped, he still underestimated the number of talents needed for this book.

I didn't notice how there could be such accurate data at dusk.

This data is absolutely impossible to come by now.

Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

People are not the problem.

Under the great tomorrow, after the Jingjing, it is still not difficult to find thousands of idle scholars, throw people in the Hanlin Academy and Guozi Prison into it, and then select a group of people from the list of people who have failed to make the list in the past few years, and then select a group of scholars from all over the country who have been hopeless in the imperial examination for many times but can write well, and they can make it up.

But this money ......

The compilation team of more than 3,000 people is equivalent to raising an army, and it is not a year.

At least four or five years.

The sum of these people's money, plus the money for buying various books and materials, is definitely an astronomical amount, and they can't do it without a little money.

Zhu Di really had the idea of retreating.

With this money, Lao Tzu used it to fight a war, isn't it good to open up the territory and expand the territory, so he has to repair a complete book that can not see the benefits at all now?

Dusk was anxious at first sight.

I'll rub, Zhu Di, you can't hold back, without you doing it yourself, no one else can do this "Yongle Canon", even if you have money, but only Zhu Di can do it in terms of talent.

He said urgently: "Your Majesty is worried about the lack of financial budget? ”

Zhu Di was silent.

Dusk said: "Your Majesty don't have to worry about money, now the four seas are leveling, although there are Mengyuan remnants in the frontier who have repeatedly disturbed the people, but Your Majesty's focus is not on stabilizing the frontier, but on cutting the domain, this matter does not need too much money, and after cutting the domain, there may still be income to post the repair book here, after the repair of this book, Your Majesty will drive the expedition to sweep the frontier and expand the territory." ”

He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the people need to recuperate!" ”

Zhu Di moved, "It makes some sense." ”

Just after the Jing Disaster, the world really needs to recuperate for a period of time, and the Ming soldiers are strong and strong, and the remnants of Meng Yuan can also harass it.

Counterattack the Ming Dynasty?

I'm afraid that they themselves don't dare to hope for such extravagance.

Dusk poured another spoonful of oil, "Your Majesty is really worried about money, Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to make such a loss, but Your Majesty should not have too much hope, Weichen is not Shen Wansan, and this little effort is a drop in the bucket." ”

For the sake of "Yongle Canon", Lao Tzu let it go.

Why not be a title sponsor!

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "How much money can you contribute, how much money do you have?" ”

There's a fart for money at dusk.

Seeing this, Dusk was speechless, and sighed helplessly: "I don't know how much I have now, after all, Wechen's way of doing business has not yet developed, which is why Wechen asked to see His Majesty today, but Wechen can say a word here: In the future, if Wechen earns ten taels, he will take five taels to edit the whole book." ”

Zhu Di laughed, "Good! ”

Dusk's ability to make money, Zhu Di was convinced, and this product used a soap and shower gel and lotion that had not yet seen the shadow, and earned more than 1,000 taels of silver from Lao Tzu's mother-in-law.

This is still made by himself, and if it is formed on a scale, the profit is simply terrifying.

Dusk said weakly: "Then when the whole book is compiled, it must be given by His Majesty, and at that time it is time for Weichen to enter the court, can you give Weichen a chance to make a preface?" ”

Money cannot be made in vain.

Lao Tzu wants to be the title sponsor.

Lao Tzu wants to be famous through the ages.
