"Oh, don't mind, you're angry old man, the kid is guilty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Besides, the boy is still counting on you to write a preface to my manuscript, so don't be angry! Zhong Hao suddenly remembered: If he found a celebrity to make a preface to his manuscript, it should be accepted by literati faster, and it would definitely sell faster. Zhong Hao didn't know many people in Qingzhou, and after thinking about it, I was afraid that this Cui Lao had the most identity. Although Zhong Hao still doesn't know Cui Lao's true family identity, just looking at Cui Lao's bearing and style, he should have an extraordinary family background, so Zhong Hao took the opportunity to ask for words.

"Well, preface? Hehe, the old man won't give people a preface easily, first show the old man your manuscript, if it's a mess, how much polish pen you give, the old man won't give a preface! ”

"Ah, do you want to polish your pen? Between our chess friends, talking about those copper-smelling things doesn't tarnish this elegance! Zhong Hao didn't plan to give Cui Lao Run's pen at all.

Zhong Hao took out his three manuscripts from his "arms" and handed them to Cui Lao.

Cui Lao took it casually, first looked at a manuscript with "Three Character Classic" written on the cover, and just looked at the word, Cui Lao's eyes lit up. The pen is quite profound, quite with the rhyme of King Zhong, but it is faintly unique, quite a demeanor, very elegant and handsome.

Zhong Hao's later generations followed his grandfather to learn calligraphy, in addition to copying and learning the big bell and the small bell, he also made a lot of hard work to copy the calligraphy of Dong Qichang in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Although this Dong Qichang is not very good, this calligraphy can definitely be regarded as a sect. His calligraphy is a combination of the styles of the Jin, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, and is self-contained. His style of writing is elegant and ethereal, and he is self-sufficient. The stroke garden is beautiful and elegant, plain and simple. With the pen fine, always maintain the front, rarely pen, clumsy pen; In terms of chapter law, between words and words, between lines and lines, the layout of branches, sparse and symmetrical, and the ancient law is pursued. The use of ink is also very particular, dry and damp, and it is wonderful. Calligraphy to Dong Qichang can be said to be the culmination of ancient methods.

Zhong Hao's later generations copied Dong Qichang's calligraphy for many years, but it was quite a bit of charm, at this time people naturally did not see Dong Qichang's calligraphy, it was Cui Lao to see Zhong Hao's elegant, ethereal, unique calligraphy, quite eye-catching.

Cui Lao stared at Zhong Hao's small letter, looked at it for a while, and then began to open the manuscript, but after reading a few pages, he was shocked, and couldn't help but quickly flip through it.

The children's books popularized by the Great Song Dynasty at this time were mainly "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Texts".

"Hundred Family Names" is the use of four-word style, although the sentences rhyme, but the content is not literal, but hundreds of surnames are arranged according to the rhyme, so the lack of knowledge, for pronunciation and literacy is acceptable, for enlightened school children to learn knowledge is insufficient. "Thousand Character Text" is composed of a thousand different Chinese characters, four characters and one sentence, sentences and sentences, neat, well-organized, brilliant writing, but not too knowledgeable.

And Cui Lao saw that the "Three Character Classic" in his hand was three words and one sentence, which was catchy to read, and popular, smooth, easy to remember, and also covered history, astronomy, geography, morality, humanities and legends and many other aspects of knowledge, and the knowledge was much richer than the "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", which was definitely a very good children's book, and it was quite shocking with his expression.

After reading the "Three Character Classic", Cui Lao took the other two manuscripts with "Liweng Rhyme" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" written on the cover and looked through them. Cui Laojian These two books are books that systematically summarize the use of rhyme and rhythm, and the book is written according to the rhyme department, and the content includes astronomy, geography, flowers and trees, birds and beasts, characters, utensils and other virtual and real responses. From single-word pairs to double-word pairs, three-word pairs, five-character pairs, seven-character pairs to eleven-word pairs, the sound and rhyme are coordinated, catchy, and the phonetic, vocabulary, and rhetorical training is very useful for children's training and mastering the rhythm of sound and rhyme. The more Cui Lao looked, the brighter his eyes became.

In fact, in this era, many families have also cultivated their own children's literacy and training poetry to deal with various children's teaching materials, but most of them are secret, the Cui family, as a thousand-year-old family, naturally has its own set of various children's reading materials for cultivating children, but it is far from the three manuscripts in their hands.

Nowadays, there have been no books in the Great Song Dynasty that systematically summarize all kinds of rhymes and rhythms, and these two books are very helpful for learning poetry and songs. At this time, the Jinshi science examination was poetry, not Baguwen, and Cui Lao could foresee that once these two books were published, they would be greatly sought after.

If you want to write books like "The Rhyme of the Kasa Weng" and "The Enlightenment of Sound and Rhythm", you need to be very familiar with the rhyme and rhythm of poetry and songs. Are you so familiar with rhyme and rhythm, are you afraid that you won't be able to pass the Jinshi exam?

After reading the manuscript, Cui Lao glanced at Zhong Hao, and snorted angrily: "I'm so angry with the old man, I was almost deceived by your kid, the old man really thinks that you are a snack shop." You kid has this ability, but you think about how to make some copper-smelling things all day long, it's really not a human son. Songlin Academy has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a group of new students are going to be recruited, you kid hurry up and apply for the exam, don't think about those crooked ways all day long. ”

"Ah...... Kaosonglin Academy? How can I pass the exam! "Pine Forest Academy enrolls students after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhong Hao knows. Because the Xu family had heard about this and wanted Zhong Hao to take the test. Zhong Hao himself knows that he is two pounds, and with his ancient literary cultivation, if he wants to go to the famous Songlin Academy in Kaohe, it will definitely be no fun. Therefore, Zhong Hao excused himself on the grounds that his foundation was not solid, many scriptures had not been read through, and it would not be too late to take the exam next year.

Cui Lao blew his beard and glared: "The old man said that if he can pass the test, he can pass the test, hurry up and take the test!" ”

"Uh...... All right! Zhong Hao said perfunctorily.

"Let's go, fight again on time tomorrow!" Cui Lao said, put Zhong Hao's three manuscripts into his sleeve pocket, and got up to take the two servants and the little servant who made tea to leave.

"Alas, old man, my manuscript ...... And the preface! ”

"I'll make it for you when I have time!"

"Don't have time to do it, you have to hurry up, I'm still waiting for you to make a preface, hurry up and find a bookseller to discuss the matter of printing and publishing." I can't open the pot at home, but I'm waiting for this manuscript to make money to buy rice to get into the pot! ”

"The old man's family has a book printing workshop, and the money earned from selling books is divided fifty-fifty!" After saying that, Old Man Cui left without replying.

Yo, fifty-fifty points, the old man is quite authentic!

In fact, Zhong Hao has already inquired about the current market of book printing, and it is good for booksellers to print manuscripts and give the author of the manuscript two or three percent of the profit. After all, booksellers need to bear the cost of printing paper and ink, engraving and labor, and printing books in this era is very expensive, and they also have to bear the risk of not being able to sell them after printing, so it is good to give the author of the manuscript a share of 20% or 30%. Some literati write manuscripts that are not of good quality, so they pay booksellers to print them, but they still don't print them!

Zhong Hao was very happy to print the book printing workshop in Cui's hometown. Although I don't know the true strength of the Cui family, seeing Cui Lao's demeanor, his family's book printing workshop should be more powerful than going to Zhou Xueqian Street to find a small bookseller.

In this era, although the government has protection for the genuine. Generally, booksellers carve a good edition, and they need to go to the government for review and filing before they can be published. The government will also rely on the record as a basis for cracking down on piracy.

However, although the government also cracks down on piracy, it is very limited. Like ordinary booksellers, as long as they have a good relationship with the county government, the county government may crack down on and punish the pirated booksellers in the county, but when they go to other counties, they are beyond the reach of some whips. Perhaps the county government can do something other than the county government and let them crack down on piracy. However, it is difficult to determine whether the government of other counties will implement it. After all, the current transportation and communication conditions have effectively supervised the county. Larger booksellers may have some connections in the state government and can crack down on piracy throughout the state, and the sales of genuine copies will naturally increase greatly.

Zhong Hao's requirements are not high, as long as the Cui family's book printing workshop has the strength to influence the state government and can crack down on piracy in the entire six counties of Qingzhou, it will be very good. The market in the six counties should be able to make a lot of money. As for the unexpected place in Qingzhou, if you want to pirate, let him go.

ps: Sadly, yesterday I coded an afternoon, and I finally coded a chapter. When I opened it today, the document turned out to be blank...... What the heck...... I remember saving it.

Sad, I had to re-code. Ask for tickets, ask for collections, everyone give some support, and comfort Huiyuan's injured little heart.
