In a month's time, mainly dictated by Ye Yu, Jiang Kui and Chen Liang compiled in shifts, such a huge project can be described as a limit for the bodies of the three people.

Fortunately, the three of them are young and strong, but Ye Yu is more tired. Although he was the youngest of them, the sword wound on his back caused a lot of inconvenience.

Moreover, the final draft was also seen by Ye Yu himself, which can be said to be busy non-stop.

Constantly researching and writing book manuscripts day and night can be said to be the first time that Ye Yu has challenged his potential in this way.

After a month, Ye Yu's injuries have gradually improved a lot, but the whole person is haggard and miserable.

However, the hard work paid off, and within the established time, the first draft of this book was written.

Ye Yu's book, Cheng Shude is the blueprint, and then compiled from the opinions of some later generations that he has heard and seen.

Not only that, in this book, not only recognizes the ideas of the predecessors' commentaries, but also corrects some distortions, making the bitter and mysterious truth a lot clearer.

When writing the first half of this book, Jiang Kui and Chen Liang occasionally asked difficult questions, and in the second half, Ye Yu was simply gushing with thoughts.

Until the end, Jiang Kui and Chen Liang could only admire with their eyes shining. Now the two not only regard Ye Yu as their teacher, but also completely regard him as the reincarnation of a saint who was born to know.

The whole work is sprinkled with 200,000 words, and is written in a vernacular similar to Zhu Zi's quotations, in a style modeled after the Book of Qian, first with a collection of explanations, and then with an explanation of the previous Analects.

In this way, if this book comes out, it will not be too abrupt, because Zhu Xi, who was respected as 'Zhu Zi' by later generations, is now quite influential among the people.

Otherwise, Nalan Rongshu of the Jin Kingdom would not have personally gone to Guiyan Academy to debate Confucianism with Zhu Xi. It can be seen that today's Zhu Xi has gradually developed the demeanor of a generation of Confucianism.

In Ye Yu's work, quotations similar to Zhu Xi's habitual vernacular can not only support a group of literati led by Zhu Xi, but also make these essences that have been shelved in the cabinet understandable to the general public.

Then Ye Yu handed over the review to the printing workshop to work overnight, just to make this book come out as much as possible.

Originally, in the eyes of Jiang Kui and Chen Liang, it would take at least ten years and a half months for this book to be printed, or even longer.

After all, printing a book was an extremely laborious task in ancient times.

It's not so much that it's a review or a trivial matter of copyright, but it's extremely complicated to print. Although movable type printing has appeared, most printing workshops still use engraving printing.

What is block printing? As the name suggests, the printed words are engraved on a specific wooden board, and then a wooden board is carved for each page of the book.

If Ye Yu sprinkles hundreds of thousands of words like this, even this carved wooden board is a thing that cannot be tolerated.

The estimation of the two was not wrong, but they miscalculated one thing, that is, Ye Yu had already successfully experimented with mature wooden movable type printing in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the printing workshop he bought.

Of course, Ye Yu really wanted to make a typewriter, but he didn't have enough power. This thing is really not allowed by the conditions, otherwise he would have planned to make it in the first place......

With Ye Yu's perfect wooden type technology, this printing efficiency can be doubled, and thousands of copies were printed in just a few days.

This efficiency is nothing to future generations, and can even be called low-level efficiency.

But for the current Great Song Dynasty, thousands of copies have been printed in a few days, which can be said to be a miracle.

Because according to the normal procedure, even this engraving will take a few days.

Of the three printing workshops that Ye Yu secretly bought, only one of them could actually operate, and the other two were already bankrupt, because this printing workshop was not popular at the moment.

Why? One word, expensive!

The difficulty of engraving directly illustrates the high cost of printing, and the high cost of printing directly discourages these literati who are not wealthy, but have the desire to publish books.

Therefore, when the people prefer to do time-consuming handcopying, this is why there is an allusion to 'Luoyang paper is expensive'. This paper is not really expensive, but because of the shortage of paper.

Finally, in the spring and summer, Ye Yu's controversial book was published, and soon appeared in bookstores on the streets.

And the author of this book is marked, in addition to Ye Yu, the names of Jiang Kui and Chen Liang are also among them.

This made Jiang Kui and Chen Liang feel ashamed and grateful to Ye Yu. They knew that the book was going to make them famous!

Even if the book is dusted in the end, they can co-authored a book with Ye Yu, who is famous all over the world, and their names are already known to everyone.

Sure enough, as soon as this book came out, the entire capital shook again.

There may not be many people paying attention to the fact that an unknown person writes a book, but it is Ye Yu who wrote the book, so it is another matter.

Therefore, under the influence of Ye Yu's secret spread and his own reputation, thousands of copies were sold out on the day the book was released.

This is a gratifying person, but it is not Ye Yu, but Xu Ke, who is in charge of three printing workshops.

Xu Kenai is a good friend of Yang Hui, since Ye Yu acquired the printing workshop, he saw that Xu Ke was quite talented in business and was a friend of his mentor Yang Hui, so he handed over these three printing houses to Xu Ke to take care of.

When Xu Ke asked Ye Yu if he was processing and printing, he was rejected by Ye Yu. The so-called scarcity is expensive, and this is not the time to print in large quantities.

And strictly ordered Xu Ke to keep this improved movable type printing extremely secret!

Within a day, it was sold out;

In one day, there was an endless debate;

But I have to say that while this book is quite controversial, the names of Jiang Kui and Chen Liang have become a hot topic in Beijing and even the whole of Hangzhou.

As Jiang Kui and Chen Liang thought at the beginning, no matter how this book ends, they are really famous this time, because they co-authored a biography with Ye Yu.

As for the annotations and explanations in this book, these long-famous Confucians are constantly controversial.

But it is undeniable that every opinion of Ye Yu that is different from the current will be cited and demonstrated.

In this way, although these Confucians are still unconvinced, they still silently agree in their hearts.

Especially in this book, Ye Yu mixed Zhu Xi's later academic achievements, so this book naturally got the help of Shilin headed by Zhu Xi!

The capital is not only the center of gravity of politics, but also the center of cultural cultivation, and in just three days of Ye Yu's book, whether it is the great Confucianism of the court or the academy students of Guozijian, they are all discussing around this book.

In addition to discussing the correctness and wrongness of the annotations in Ye Yu's book, it is Ye Yu who uses punctuation in this book.

As soon as this punctuation mark came out, the world shook.

Because as long as you are a reader, as soon as you see this punctuation mark, you know the role of this symbol.

But those old Confucians were troubled, because once there was such a symbol, all the commentaries on the scriptures, paragraphs and sentences were distinguished, and the dry scriptures became easy to understand.

In this way, they will not only lose the pleasure of reading the broken sentences, but they will also lose their authority.

So he stood up and launched an attack on Ye Yu, and even many people impeached Ye Yu in front of Zhao Yan for being bold and reckless, and daring to tamper with the rules left by his predecessors.

Zhao Yan didn't expect Ye Yu to be recuperating at home, and he would make such a big fuss.

And Zhao Yan also saw the thoughts of these people clearly, but Zhao Yan ignored them with a smile.

Because whoever pokes the hornet's nest will let him clean up the mess.

In the end, many people came to Ye Yu to question, but Ye Yu immediately said: "I write my own book with punctuation, what do you have to do with it?" ”

In one sentence, these imposing and powerful Confucians were silenced.

That's right, people mark their own works with symbols, this is their own right, what are they arguing about here.

It's not right to think about it, as soon as Ye Yu's punctuation mark comes out, it is impossible for people in the world not to follow suit. At that time, they are great Confucians in the literary world, where is there still the fun of studying chewing words?

The ten-day turmoil finally subsided, but the final result was a big surprise to these Confucians.

Because under Ye Yu's annotation of hundreds of thousands of words, most readers agreed with Ye Yu's point of view.

The news that Ye Yu intended to annotate has already spread, and these Confucians are also holding the posture of watching jokes.

Because in their eyes, Ye Yu's talent is indeed amazing, this is an indisputable fact.

But Ye Yu commented that they were not optimistic at all. Therefore, during this period, under the fanning of Kong Dexian and Zhang Di and a group of Confucian ministers, many people were secretly attacking Ye Yu.

But this result made these people speechless for a moment. From beginning to end, Ye Yu never showed up......

Because of this turmoil, Jiang Kui and Chen Liang became celebrities in Beijing. Soon he was summoned to the palace by Zhao Yan of Xiaozong, and asked about this book in the court.

Looking at Jiang Kui and Chen Liang who looked restrained in the court, although Zhao Yan looked calm, he sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that these two people were far from the table when Ye Yu entered the palace.

When Ye Yu calmly entered the palace to try, this scene seemed to be right in front of him.

Then I asked the two about writing the book, and both of them were very humble and did not dare to take the credit. Ye Yu and his family narrated it, and the two of them were responsible for writing the detailed account of the editing.

Hiss!

It took a month to write a book, and this one is incredible. What is now written is that if it were not for decades of hard work by Confucianism, it would have been impossible to complete this huge project.

But this impossible thing happened to Ye Yu again.
