Chapter 53: To each his own mind

"What is the Minister of Zhizhou thinking?"

Zhang Jiyu reminded him in a timely manner.

Cai You looked a little disappointed after coming back to his senses, "Look at his appearance...... It's not like someone who can enter Weishan Academy, is it that Mr. is exceptionally admitted? ”

Zhang Ji smiled slightly: "It's really not me, it's Pei Zhixian's exceptional recommendation, and the reason is ...... He solved a big problem in Guichi County: the river defense affairs were completed on schedule. In addition, he was the one who saved me and Li Jianyou. ”

"Oh......"

Cai You was really interested, twisting his short beard and muttering: "It turns out that Mr. and Li Jianyou were rescued after being tied up in the cottage, is it from his hands?" Was the completion of the river embankment in Guichi County on schedule from his hands? ”

Zhang Ji nodded slightly.

In this way, Cai You, who is a philistine, feels that he can have these exploits in his body, which proves that he is really not an ordinary scholar, in addition to having ideas and brains, the most important thing is that he is clever and courageous, and his great execution is different from that of ordinary scholars, no wonder, which caused him to not do well enough in the accumulation of scriptures and allusions?

"Lord Zhizhou has not expressed his opinion on this article from beginning to end?"

Zhang Ji understood part of his thoughts, but after all, he was a scholar, so he asked curiously.

Cai You didn't want to say too much to make jokes later, so he said a little conservatively at the moment: "The objective evaluation is good, the ideas and perspectives are novel, and the coquettish and lack of literary talent are its biggest flaws." If Li Jianyou or Su Zaifang could have such an insight, it would not have been more than fifteen years since he entered the temple to obtain a place. ”

He added, "But such an article comes from him, barely grandstanding, but on the whole it is fake and empty, because according to his ideas and methods, first of all, he must have fame and mass base, and have a readership base that recognizes him, and at the very least, he must have money and family to be in place, otherwise he is more inclined to the unrealistic fantasies of poor scholars." ”

Zhang Ji knew that he was deliberately conservative, and had to admit that Cai Zhizhou was cunning.

At this point, Zhang Ji also looked strange, and Cai Yu also had asymmetrical information in this matter. What is the fame and mass foundation he said, Zhao Cheng really has this guy, and under the inexplicable thunderous situation, now the "Lanruo Temple" he wrote has become popular under the rule of Chizhou.

This kind of entertainment gossip in the Great Song Dynasty always spreads quickly, and it may not be long before it becomes popular in the capital. This is actually equivalent to writing a book and talking about it. Based on this, Zhang Ji thinks that Zhao Cheng's article is really not fake, it is more like running his own foundation step by step?

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Ji didn't tell the story of "Lanruo Temple", which would make it seem that Zhang Ji was too partial to Zhao Cheng and lost his objective and detached position.

"There is a fate that will be gathered, and the governor of the state is old and has his own opinions, so let this matter end here." Zhang Ji said this again.

Lord Cai You twisted his beard and nodded slightly, while listening to the forum, he inadvertently glanced in the direction of Zhao Cheng, but was slightly stunned, it was empty, and the down-and-out scholar left the venue early?

"Interesting, or a person who knows how to advance and retreat?"

Cai You muttered to himself again......

Zhao Cheng knew that today's effect was almost over, and he couldn't do anything too quickly, but he had to accumulate it slowly, and the foundation would be solid, which was the theorem of the universe.

Although there are many opportunities to speak in the forum, it is also called haste is not enough, because it is too prominent and prematurely fills the hatred of others, and it is even possible to turn Li Jian from a friend to a hostile camp from a friend.

It's a pity that that's human nature.

When the foundation is insufficient, it will attract too much attention, and it will definitely become the focus and offend everyone. If Zhao Cheng has Su Zaifang's identity, it is a good thing, but for poor scholars who have no defense, it is generally a disadvantage.

Just like he won't easily impress Zhang Ji, of course, it is even more difficult to convince Cai You. If it is really an article and a sentence, it causes people like Cai You to be shocked and treated like guests, then there are generally only two situations in human nature: First, Cai You is an idiot. Second, he is about to use it to fill the pit......

Old Chentou bunker.

After the proceeds of "Lanruo Temple" were bought out by him, it operated effectively. The oral serialization of Heshun Tea House is continuing, and the progress is slightly slower, but it plays a role in continuing to attract fans and increase popularity. As for the real gold absorption, the second episode of the hardcover version of "Lanruo Temple" is being planned and is on the eve of the launch.

Zhao Cheng only has the ability to operate in Guichi County (the state capital), while Lao Chen's ability is to operate in multiple counties in the state. Limited to the times, and farther away cannot be used for the time being, then the situation will be very complicated.

The so-called strong dragon can't fight the head snake, even if Lao Chen Tou goes to the next state to talk about cooperation, it will not be successful, because the gangs in the next state only need to buy a hardcover book and pirate, and the proceeds are all their own, and they are full of food and support to cooperate with Lao Chen Tou in Chizhou to share the money. Unless there is a more awesome official background, but on the other hand, when you have such resources, you still need to do this kind of business?

The answer is no, there is a better business to do......

In the city of Chizhou, many places in the counties under its jurisdiction should hang up the words that the second volume of "Lanruo Temple" has been listed.

"One person buys books and the whole village listens to stories!"

The slogan Jinni is a little scary, but it really appears in some villages.

It is said that Chizhou is also a developed area of the Great Song Dynasty, and each village can have so many talents, since "Lanruo Temple" is now very popular, and the Datou villagers have no conditions to enter the tea shop in the city to listen to the story, and they can't afford to buy books. Then I hope that the talents in the village will buy it and pass on the story to the villagers......

"Shopkeeper, why don't you hurry up and hand over the second episode, you pretended to be garlic last time, and you still want to pretend this time?"

Shuang'er came to buy it again on the first day of the market, but he didn't buy it, so he shouldn't have asked with a pungent nature, "Didn't you say that 5,000 copies were printed this time?" ”

"Xiao Lao'er also wants to sell it, but it is still limited printing, and it has to supply the surrounding counties and villages, and the small store can get no more books than last time." The shopkeeper is very helpless.

"This is the update that Lord Zhizhou and my young lady are waiting for, and you dare to fool grandma." Shuang'er is unrelenting.

"Auntie, if you are really good, wouldn't it be better to go and tell you about it." The shopkeeper coped casually.

"That makes sense, tell me which alley and courtyard he lives in?"

Shuang'er threatened the guys and shopkeepers here......

"Boy, stop, go tell a story with your aunt!"

Before Ghost Foot Seven entered the small hut and had no time to close the door, he was caught by a beautiful and spicy woman. I took a look at Devil's Foot Seven and knew her, and she once passed by a woman in green with very big milk outside the city.

"Girl, what are you looking for?"

"Don't think I'll let you go if you pretend to be very polite, Miss is very interesting to your story, this is a rare book that she is paying attention to recently, hurry up and tell her about it, otherwise hum ......" Shuang'er is not very reasonable.

Devilfoot Seven scratched his head and said, "But I don't know how to tell stories." ”

"Don't take a war, besides, let's not give you money, you go and dictate the second episode of "Lanruo Temple" to Miss, and I'll give you five taels of silver."

At this point, Ghost Foot Seven is very excited, he has been listening to the genuine "Lanruo Temple" recently, and he can really tell some of it, and he heard that there is money to be made, and he can also share the story with others, so he followed Shuang'er......
