Wu Mingjin didn't pay attention. After a while, the servant brought two porcelain bowls and presented them. Wang Ci was inconvenient to excuse himself, so he took it, only to feel that it was cold under his tentacles, slightly wet, and when he opened the lid, he saw that the tea was slightly green, and many pearl-like fine bubbles came up from the bottom of the cup.

A few pieces of crushed ice fluttered in the teacup. Collide with each other and the sound is crisp.

"Come, drink it cool and cool first!" Wu Mingjin said that he took a sip first, and looked very satisfied.

Wang Ci usually guards the way of self-cultivation, and has always been insensitive to frozen things. But the elders have gifts, and they dare not refuse. Take a sip.

At first glance, the taste is sweet and sour, and the aftertaste has a fresh mint flavor, but there is a feeling of numbness, and there seem to be many things bursting in the mouth. It feels very peculiar.

After swallowing it, my whole body was cool and comfortable, and I couldn't help but take a second sip.

"This kvas is just to be drunk in one go, and when it runs away, it will be tasteless." Wu Mingjin seems to be the spokesperson of the fashionable life of Lingao's high society.

The weather was really hot, and Wang Ci quickly finished drinking. Suddenly, I felt that there was qi in my stomach and was about to rise, so I quickly covered my face with my sleeve and burped a few times, and my body was suddenly much cooler and more comfortable. Sure enough, it's a good thing to quench your thirst! It's about Australian again. Wang Ci thought.

Wang Ci settled down, reported Xiong Buyou's visit today, and mentioned the Australians' preparations to repair the county school and Jasmine Xuan.

"The lower officials think that this matter is very important, and they have to ask the Ming Mansion to show it."

Wu Mingjin had already complained to Wang Ci that he had made his own claim to hand over the study field to the "Heaven and Earth Society" tenants, because he heard that this edict had been crying outside and asking for donations everywhere, and always said that there was no money and rice for him in the county -- although this was true, it was too disregarded for the face of the leaders. Besides, there is really no money in the county.

Wu Mingjin snorted; "What can I do? Since the school fields are in their hands, is it also their proper intention to cultivate the Confucian Temple County School? As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from a wooden cigarette case. The messenger around him hurriedly brought the paper media over and lit it for him.

Wang Ci was embarrassed, his understanding of being an official was not high, he didn't expect that he offended the leader by what he said when he persuaded donations in the past, and thought that the county order was blaming him for giving Xuetian to the Heaven and Earth Association for his unauthorized advocacy, so he quickly stood up and said: "It's always a time to be ......confused."

"Now the county doesn't have the money, since they want to repair it, let them fix it." Wu Mingjin has completely ignored what the thief did, anyway, no matter what, they will do what they want to do, and no matter how much they toss, they are just mantis arms blocking the car.

Wang Ci didn't get the slightest idea here in Wu Mingjin, but he saw Wu Xianling's recent "Australian enjoyment", he wanted to find Master Wang, but he heard that Master was taking a nap and didn't see guests. had to return to the county school again.

As soon as I entered the Lingxing Gate, I saw that the door in the gatehouse was busy by the yellow mud stove outside the house, and it seemed that he was cooking something. I saw that he was tearing the book in his hand, and the pages were stuffed into the hearth to ignite the fire. Suddenly, a half-charred piece of paper flew to Wang Ci's chest. He grabbed it and was about to throw it out, when his eyes suddenly widened.

This is a page of Analects!

I only cared about burning the thief's book, but I didn't say that it was called Menzi Burning Analects. Although the Confucian classics of the Four Books and Five Classics are not rare, they cannot be bought at all in Lingao, and they are only available in Fucheng! Use it as firewood.

Wang Ci almost fainted. was about to rush over and shout loudly. Suddenly stunned again.

The Analects are horizontally arranged!

Books are lined up, except for this gang of thieves, there is no second home in Daming!

It turned out that the fifty books sent by the thief were not the strange "Literacy Textbooks", but "serious books" such as the Four Books and the Five Classics! Thinking of this, he roared with all his might:

"Stop!"

Wang Ci sat in the hall, and at his feet was a rattan box. Inside, it was the book that was snatched back from Zhu Rong's mouth for the rest of his life. Menzi just boiled water to start a fire, and he has already burned several books. Menzi was very confused by Wang Ci's behavior of forcing him to burn books first, and then rushing over like crazy to prevent him from burning them, and could only explain that the weather was too hot, and Master Wang was probably a little phlegm-obsessed.

Wang Ci didn't care about what Menzi was thinking, so he hurriedly picked them up one by one.

A box of books, most of which are the "Thirteen Classics", that is, the thirteen classic works of Confucianism, including "Shangshu", "Zhou Li", "Analects", "Mencius", "Erya" and so on. This was the basis of the imperial examinations in the past. A person who can read through the Thirteen Classics was considered an intellectual in ancient times.

There was a complete set of the Thirteen Classics in the box, but it has been burned by Menzi in a few copies, this set of Thirteen Classics, except for the opening page xiangyou and the horizontal layout of the font, the whole book does not have a vulgar character, and the printing is extremely sophisticated. There is no trace of the line separating the lines of words in ordinary books, but the words are arranged neatly on the left and right, and the effect of black characters and white paper on a pure white background is not found in the most haode Song edition books that Wang Ci has seen in the past. I don't know how the Australians did it.

Wang Ci felt that the only thing wrong was that they all added sentences to read, so naturally the reading of the book greatly saved effort, but the reading of the sentences of the Australians - he was really relieved, who knew if this group of overseas barbarians could understand the semantics of the saints?

I chose a copy casually, looked at it, and found that there was no mistake in reading one of the sentences, Wang Ci Nahan: Aren't Australians so vulgar!

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, and I looked at the other books in it, and there were also a set of commentaries on the Thirteen Classics. In fact, this is Zhou Dongtian's pirated version of the Zhonghua Book Company's "Thirteen Classics of the Qing People's Annotation Series". Since ancient times, there have been many people who have made commentaries on the Thirteen Classics, and the commentaries on the Thirteen Classics in the Qing Dynasty have reached a new peak, especially in the interpretation of scriptures and texts and the research of the famous object system. When Zhou Dongtian chose piracy, he also considered: first, it must have high academic achievements, and second, it must not be the works of previous generations, so it will not show the ability to cross the group, so the research results of the Qing Dynasty will bear the brunt of the theft.

He had naturally read the commentary on the Thirteen Classics, but he had naturally seen the work in front of him for the first time. Naturally, I thought that this annotation was made by Australians. After reading a few pages, I couldn't help but be amazed -- the level of this commentary was by no means inferior to that of the previous generations of commentators since the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties that he had read. Wang Ci couldn't help but be confused.

If Australians are a group of vulgar and ignorant guys, the standard of scripture is obviously not low, if they are very learned, they use vulgar words indiscriminately, and the style of writing is vulgar.

"What a bunch of weirdos." Wang Ci felt more and more confused. Isn't it true that the big Confucianism stayed in Australia and didn't come out? But with such a great Confucian, how can he tolerate this group of people making such nonsense? I don't know who is the king of the Australians.

When he flipped through it, he was taken aback - he saw the "Great Dictionary". The so-called big dictionary is actually the "Kangxi Dictionary" proofread by Zhonghua Book Company. Naturally, Kangxi's name no longer exists.

The Kangxi Dictionary is based on two Ming Dynasty character books, "Vocabulary" and "Zhengzitong", and is updated and "identified and corrected". However, at this time, "Zhengzitong" had not yet been written - it was only officially published in the last years of Chongzhen. The "Kangxi Dictionary" pirated by the traversers of Zhonghua Book Company is not only a proofreading of the Daoguang period, but also a modern proofreading result, so that Wang Ci was very shocked when the ancient and modern characters were taken out. After reading a few pages, I feel more and more unfathomable Australians.

These books are not only well-proofed, but also beautifully printed to the point that he can't put them down. It is a habit for scholars to love books, and when Wang Cilai came to take office, even if he traveled thousands of miles, he asked his relatives to pick a box of books. Seeing this box of books, Wang Ci's greed was greatly aroused. Anyway, it's a gift for him, and it's a matter of course to keep it for yourself.

Thinking of this, Xiong Buyou was much less wary. The mind can't help but be the same as Wu Mingjin-since he can't stop it, just let them do it well, anyway, it's also a matter that is conducive to Lingao.

With this in mind, when Xiong Buyou came back the next day, Wang Ci's attitude became much more cooperative. Wang Ci brought him a second gift, an allowance.

In the past, when the crossing group distributed allowances to the county government, it unfortunately forgot about Wang Ci -- first, he did not work in the county government, and the vast majority of modern people did not know that there was such an official as a priest in the county. Fortunately, it is not too late to correct it at this time.

Wang Ci excused himself as usual, but, as Xiong Buyou estimated, the officials of this plane obviously did not regard this kind of income as a sin. Moreover, in the face of the precarious situation of this priest, he could have put the money to good use.

The next day, the construction team of Lingao Construction Company entered Jasmine Xuan. This famous Song Dynasty building was nothing more than a small thatched hut in the early Ming Dynasty. It was not until 1455 that it was renovated into "Da Wa Xuan" and became a seowon.

The scale of the whole Jasmine Xuan is not large, but it is not simple: stone pillars, glazed tiles, carved beams and paintings, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort to build it back then.

Although it has been repaired many times in the past 200 years, it is very old after all. After investigation, the decay of the wooden structure is very serious...... The walls and roof were also broken and leaking in many places - they were already in decay. There are no people who specialize in ancient architecture among the travelers, but fortunately, Lingao Construction Company has recruited many carpenters from the immigrants to repair houses.

The wood, bricks, lime and the like needed to repair Jasmine Xuan were a piece of cake for the Crossing Group. With sufficient materials, workers in place, and on-site management by modern engineering builders, it took less than five days to complete the dismantling, replacement and renovation of the entire Jasmine Pavilion. A week later, the main structure of Jasmine Xuan had been restored to its old appearance and the painting work began.
