Chapter 142 [Whose Book Will Come Out First?] Ask for a commuter pass, thank you
The tea fragrance in the living room of the Bai family is curling and the smoke of gunpowder is filled.
Lao Ganlong and the fungus are both drinking tea, Ganlong drinks the light taste of green tea, takes a small sip, let the tea soup roll on the tip of the tongue like a bead, and then slowly swallows the throat, let out a leisurely sigh, as if sighing at the fragrance of tea, and then take a look at the fungus with great contempt; This guy doesn't know how to drink tea at all, holding a big old bowl full of fragrant tea, and he goes down most of the bowl in one gulp, it's so vulgar, where does he look like a reader? Just for this tea-drinking style, you are also worthy of a book to make a statement? Phew!
"What do you see? The Bai family's tea quenches thirst, and the old man likes to drink it like this, so that it is called happy. Looking at your fake appearance, you know that the same is true of your "Book of Books", the old man must explain to that kid today that if he helps you publish a book, it will really be infinitely poisonous and harm the students of the world! Never. โ
"Whew! Are you crazy? The old man's "Book of Scriptures Marked" is upright, it is the completion of the royal road, what kind of "Book of Books" do you have, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is not successful, and it is also a side meaning, I think it is a misguided way, right? If students all over the world read your book, they really want to learn crookedly. Now merchants from all over the world are gathered in the Mandarin supermarket, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are selling well, especially that kid's "Kindergarten Jungle", I am afraid that these days have been spread to several countries, if your book is widely printed and sold, in the hands of scholars from all over the world, it is strange not to be laughed to death! It's okay for scholars from all over the world to laugh at you, if you laugh at my old Qin academic world because of this, you are guilty! Bacteria change, bacteria change, listen to my kind words and persuasion, retire early, and leave a good reputation of a virtuous and good minister. Old man, this is for your good."
"Phew. Will you be good for me? Save it, it's okay to deceive that kid with these words. It's hard to lie to me. โ
The two old men are considered to be on the bar, decades of old enemies, and now it is an important moment to stand up and speak, when they think that Bai Dong's kid's "Kindergarten Jungle" can be transmitted to all countries, the eyes of the two old men are red, this kind of thing must take the lead, otherwise it is not sure when it will go.
The literati of this era are no different from later generations, and the most important posthumous name is posthumous. What is the posthumous name of a literati? That's what you say. Get a book! Originally, it was only by hand-drawn simple books that could be made into a book? What can really be distributed in the world, that is, classic books like "Book of Books", "Book of Songs" and "Spring and Autumn", even Confucius's "Analects" relied on Zigong's funding, and lost countless money to reluctantly distribute it in various countries.
Since the Bai family's printing technology came out, "Kindergarten Jungle" was put in the supermarket, and Lao Qin Qunchen all turned into red-eyed rabbits. Everyone is dreaming of being able to publish a book and speak and become a 'son' overnight. The door of Baijiazhuang is about to be flattened. I really can't, I can only refuse them all, saying that the printing workshop has limited capacity and can't meet everyone's needs, and if you really want to publish a book, please queue up, of course, it may be queued until the next year, and you don't have to worry. The would-be writers were in a hurry, and some wanted to take shortcuts, so they sent people to spy on the secrets of printing at night, and all of them had their arms broken, and it is said that the one who broke their arm was a one-armed star.
Bai Dong can reject these crazy authors, and he can also make Nie Zhu abolish those unruly guys; Especially as soon as the "Invention Patent Law" came out, the printing press turned around in the hands of the public losers and returned to the hands of the Bai family, and these aristocratic ministers of the Qin State never dared to offend the national law, but they still couldn't directly refuse the important ministers of the Qin State like Lao Ganlong and the fungus. The former has kindness to himself, even the word 'Zhuguo' is given by others, although the latter is unfamiliar, but he is a high-ranking country-building, he has great merit to Qin but does not ask for it, and he must be confused about big and fine things, if he dares to refuse this, he can really demolish Baijiazhuang, even if he wins the old man.
"Uncle Gan, Zuo Shuchang, the kid is late, hehe, my Bai family's tea is okay? Hey, why didn't you have a chicken cake? This is a specialty of my Bai family, and I can't buy it outside, so I immediately urge it. Bai Dong walked in and sang a fat promise, and when he saw that there was no chicken cake on the table, he immediately expressed his unacceptability, and turned around to go out.
"You kid don't come to this set, come back!"
Fungi glared, his body had bounced out of the seat, grabbed Bai Dong's back collar, and lifted him up as if he was catching a chicken; Bai Dong struggled a few times and couldn't break free, and looked at the old man in surprise, is this still human? I'm almost 70 years old
"Boy, you call that old uncle, but you want to call me Zuo Shuchang, is this a different meaning of intimacy? Lao Tzu sues you! "The Book of Books" you can also print, and if you don't print, you have to print! It must also be printed in front of the surname Gan! Do you dare to say half a word? I'll beat your ass to pieces, and you won't blame me! โ
Gan Long was furious: "Fungus change!" You are an old Qin Chongchen, are there any rules? Open your mouth and shut your mouth to spank, he is also my old Qin's eighth lord and fifth doctor! You, you, you"
"What am I? Lao Tzu is this temper, and the king also knows it; Back then, when you won the palace and won the son, do you think that Li Enemy alone will become it? If Lao Tzu hadn't entangled Bai Ji's No. 1 master, Xiong Xuanji, would he have been able to rely on him? Lao Tzu made great contributions to the Qin State, but he didn't want to be rewarded by officials, so he loved to devote himself to studying, and it took twenty years to write this book! Now that there is the birth of silk paper printing, it is the time to make a book, who dares to stop me! โ
Bai Dong stared blankly at the angry lion-like fungus, knowing that this person was crazy, and he couldn't contradict it, he had to follow the hair, his face was full of horror and turned to laughter, and his eyes looked at the fungus as if he had seen a relative: "Uncle Fungi's story touched the little nephew!" Your book has to be published! Otherwise, I won't be able to forgive myself! But Uncle Fungi, see if you can let me down first, it doesn't seem like it's easy to talk. โ
"Well, the kid is still good at talking, so come down."
Gently put Bai Dong down, the old guy also tidied up his clothes for him with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder like a real elder: "Good boy, you are a good person if you can understand the general situation." Well, yes, the person is also handsome, that day in front of the palace to convince Yang Zhu, so good, uncle is optimistic about you! Is Yang Zhu honest in your house? If you don't be honest, sue Uncle Sรน, and I'll beat his ass to pieces! Oh, uncle, I see that you are a little weaker, my old Qin man should be a martial artist, and he has hung up an eighth-class lord but has no military merits? Don't worry, Uncle still has some prestige in the army, and he has the opportunity to recommend you to make contributions in the army, so he is a big husband, uh, what you said just now counts? โ
This fart made Bai Dong's sweat come out, and he sat down and poured half a bowl of tea first, which was regarded as suppressing his shock, and said with a square face: "The two uncles have achieved their academic achievements, how can they not write books and make statements?" However, the capacity of the Bai family printing workshop is limited, that is, all the craftsmen are too busy without eating or sleeping. To tell the two uncles, "Kindergarten Jungle" still needs to be printed with 3,000 copies, and next"
Fungus changed his eyes and glared: "Of course you have to get out of mine first!" โ
"That's not going to happen."
Bai Dong resisted the pressure and said: "The two uncles are just afraid that they will have to wait for the next book to be published by Mr. Qin Yueren in the contemporary Bian Que, this is a life-saving book that saves the world and countless living people, and the little nephew thinks that it must be published first." โ
Gan Long looked at the fungus and changed: "What is Mr. Bian Que's book?" โ
"Daughter's Fang."
Bai Dong smiled and said, "The two uncles should know. Lao Qin's weakness is due to the fact that he was the latest to be knighted, the state-owned Rong Di is in chaos, it is located in the bitter cold of the northwest, and the product is insufficient, in fact, the biggest reason is that the manpower is not enough! Often, if you can take care of the soldiers, you will waste the peasants, and if you can take care of the peasants, you will waste the workers, and so on, how can you be strong? My little nephew is also a doctor, and I found that one of the main reasons for the lack of population in my old Qin is that the rate of female childbirth and fetal death is too high. Can the two uncles imagine? Ten women who are pregnant and about to give birth, but less than two or three of them survived in the end! If ten fetuses can live five or six, or even seven or eight, what kind of weather should my old Qin be? โ
"There is a point in that! What my old Qin has is unexplored land, and what is lacking is really people! Could it be that there is a way to deal with it in this "Daughter" to reduce the number of fetal deaths? โ
After all, Gan Long and Fungai are old ministers who seek the country, and when they heard Bai Dong talk about the fundamentals of the population, they immediately forgot about the dispute over publishing a book. (To be continued......)
