Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fame and Fortune
At noon, in the study room in the front yard of Xiyang Palace, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen was sobering up, and there was a feast in the house, including Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan, who were known as "Erliu", and they drank unconsciously when they were in a happy mood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it weren't for Shi Ligang, the head of the palace, who immediately persuaded Yu Wenwen to change his clothes, he would probably go crazy after a few more drinks, and then he would lose his temper after drinking, which would make a good thing turn a bad thing.
Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan are famous scholars in the world, and now the two Liu are gathering in Xiyang, which can be regarded as a grand event in the Shannan literary world, attracting the attention of many readers.
"Ahh
"Erlang, do you want to attend later?"
"Go, of course I have to go, the banquet is not over yet, and the husband has not recited 300 poems, how can I not go!"
In the house, Yuwen Wen has never recited poetry, and Xiao Jiuniang doesn't remember that her husband has recited poetry when he is outside, just talking nonsense after drinking, and he is wiping his face, but his hand is grabbed by the other party.
"Ahh
It is now afternoon, and after Xiao Jiuniang is worried that Yu Wenwen will 'correct the law on the spot', Shi Li Gang, the head of the palace, will admonish again, persuading Yu Wenwen not to announce that during the day.
The result was that she thought too much, and Yu Wenwen held her hand, rubbing it and rejoicing:
"Oh, this teacher has it, those little guys will be able to have good teachers in the future, and when the time comes, the husband will personally teach them bow horses, and there will be Erliu to teach them knowledge, it is really both civil and military, and they will all be good in the future!"
Parents in the world who don't want their children to become talents, Xiao Jiuniang knows the name of Er Liu, and when she heard Yuwen Wen say this, she also had some longing, she was the third child of Yuwen Wen Wen is still young now, and she has to wait a few years to study, and the eldest and second child have not yet reached that age.
"Erlang, will the two Dr. Liu live in Xiyang for a long time?"
"Who knows, after all, if people want to leave, the widow can't force them to stay, but Jiuniang can rest assured, since people are here, they won't leave easily."
Yuwen Wen snorted, still in a good mood, Liu Xuan was invited by his friend and classmate Liu Zhuo to come to Xiyang to 'have a look', but he was confident that he would let this stay.
Liu Zhuo gave him the bottom in advance, Liu Xuan came to Xiyang, and he would never stay for a few days like a dragonfly and leave, although Yuwenwen did not use the bait as a bait to let Liu Zhuo go to 'fishing' Liu Xuan, but the other bait was very powerful.
The publishing industry in Xiyang is becoming more and more prosperous, and in order to open up the market, booksellers are now looking for all kinds of books everywhere, even if they can't buy them, they have to spend money to borrow books, borrow books from bibliophiles from all over the world, copy them, and then print and publish them.
After all, most of the books that have been handed down in these years have been handed down for hundreds of years, and they are all hand-copied books, and errors and omissions are inevitable, so there must be 'experts' to help booksellers check the gates.
Since it is a gatekeeper, then there is always a thank-you gift, what is said to be 'wages' is too vulgar, and the difficulty of the school book is high and low, involving various classics, then the thank-you gift will not be less.
For merchants, after the book proofreading is correct, as long as the plate making is completed, it is money rolling in, so the thank you gift to the proofreader is very rich.
This is still the result of Liu Zhuo's busy time to study books, if it is 'full-time', his income will at least double, so the reason why Liu Zhuo invited Liu Xuan to come to Xiyang is "Oh, I can't be busy in Xiyang school, you can do a favor!" ”
The income of school books is very high, but the premise is that the proofreader is well educated, and there are many errors and omissions in the content of various classics, and even there are several different versions of a book, so it is necessary to figure out the twists and turns, so as not to be questioned by people of insight after publication, and then laugh and be generous.
And Liu Xuan, who is famous all over the world, if he is willing to come to Xiyang to help with the school, then the booksellers can't ask for it, because this is a golden pretense.
In the past few years, Liu Zhuo has been in Xiyang, not only for Yu Wenwen's school club, but also for the booksellers in Xiyang City to ask this famous scholar to 'help'; similarly, if Liu Xuan comes to Xiyang, as long as he is willing, not only the school club, but also other bookstores will come to him to ask for 'help', and the 'money road' is bright.
Hearing this, Xiao Jiuniang asked, "Erlang, Dr. Liu... The new Dr. Liu, is he really going to Xiyang to teach or give lectures? ”
"Of course, school books and lectures will have a good income, as long as Liu Guangbo is willing to lecture, readers in Shannan will inevitably flock to him."
Xiao Jiuniang didn't quite understand what it meant to be like "fog", but she heard the meaning from Yu Wenwen's words: "Could it be that Liu Guangbo's family is in distress and wants to come all the way to Huangzhou to support his family?" ”
"Or else? Tao Yuanming can not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, it is because he has a family property guarantee, and his grandfather is the official to the great Sima, and the family background left behind is somewhat or less, which is not comparable to ordinary people. ”
Yu Wenwen's alcohol dissipated a little, and his thinking logic returned to a normal level: "Actually, the two Dr. Liu's family backgrounds are average, and no matter how much knowledge they have, they can't be eaten as food, right?" ”
"Do you need to spend money to get back and forth with friends and relatives and welcome the ones you want to send to? Do you need to spend money to travel with people? Not to mention that the two Dr. Liu have a bad career, relying on that bit of rice to support their family, they can only live a tight life. ”
"Well... The concubine also thought that the two Dr. Liu were so good at learning that they would inevitably be reused by the imperial court..."
In Xiao Jiuniang's imagination, people who can afford to read and concentrate on learning must have a very good family background.
As a result, it seemed that Liu Xuan was invited to Xiyang, it seemed that the money factor was more important, she was a little stunned for a while, and thought that the other party was coming for the name of Yuwenwen.
Yu Wenwen sighed: "Learning and excelling is the wish of all readers, but how easy is it to say?" If you don't have a good background, no matter how good your knowledge is, you don't need to talk about it. ”
"If you want to become a leader, you must either rely on the recommendation of people of insight, or rely on the magistrate to recruit, of course, if the Son of Heaven personally recruits, then you can do it in one step, but how easy is this?"
"Let's not talk about the Son of Heaven for the time being, if you want the magistrate to recruit, you have to let people know that you are talented and learned, the two Dr. Liu are famous, but they only study to be doctors in the state, are they willing?"
"After decades of hard study, who doesn't want to exchange their knowledge for fame? Of course, the other way is to join the army, but do you think the two Dr. Liu have that ability? ”
"If you are not from a big family, you don't have the help of your clansmen, and you don't have the appreciation of high-ranking officials, what's the use of having no knowledge and fame? In addition to lecturing in their hometowns and supporting their families, what can they do? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jiuniang was silent, the situation in Liang Guo is like this, the rank of civil and military officials is divided into eighteen classes, and even if a person with a bad family background works hard, it is difficult to become a high-ranking official.
"When Liu Shiyuan came to Xiyang, the widow didn't make a wish, but the widow could let him do his studies to his heart's content, let him have a good income with his knowledge, and let him continue to be famous in the world by taking the opportunity of school books or publishing books."
"Therefore, Liu Guangbo came to Xiyang because he had a lesson from the past, and the widow also did not make a wish, but what Liu Zhuo can have, he also has the opportunity to have, and this is enough."
To be a man, you have to see clearly how many catties and taels you have, when it comes to making a wish, Yuwenwen's capital is not as good as his father Yuwenliang, and the name of King Xiyang is not good, so he wants to use his expertise to attract scholars who are hopeless but unwilling to be lonely.
Fame and fortune, at least he can ensure the 'profit' of scholars, and can also give scholars the opportunity to become more famous.
If Confucianism gives lectures in Huangzhou, it will attract more students, so Yu Wenwen can take the opportunity to engage in the 'student economy'; with the gimmick of 'famous teachers' school books,' the competitiveness of Huangzhou's bookstores will be even stronger.
Everyone makes a fortune together, mutual benefit, as for the official position or something, Yuwenwen is not strong enough, and he has no confidence to recommend it; Secondly...
You can easily become a big official by studying, what is a soldier who is born and dies!
