Xu Wenchang left with Qin Lin's driving sticker and a thousand taels of tickets, and he would rush to Huizhou to recruit the Bi brothers who were studying firearms.

Looking at the back of the old madman staggering away, Lu Yuanzhi and Han Feilian were really sweating.

Twenty years ago, when Xu Wenchang was in charge of copywriting in the shogunate of Hu Zongxian, the marshal of the anti-Japanese army, and scolded Fang Yu and was high-spirited, he said that it was difficult for Qin Lin to kneel down and beg, but he might not be able to recruit him for his own use.

But now, everyone knows that Xu Wenchang is crazy, crazy very seriously, I heard that Hu Zongxian was framed and died in prison in the same year, he committed suicide nine times in a row, and even used iron nails, and finally killed his wife by mistake in the madness, and squatted in the prison for seven years before being released.

You Kidnapper couldn't help muttering: "Chief Qin's thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid I'm going to make a splash, this old madman is playing around in the autumn wind to cheat on food and drink, and he likes to talk crazy things, and he has a bad reputation after coming to Nanjing for two months...... I see, very mysterious! ”

"He dares to deceive our patriarch, my old cow has broken up the old bones of his body!" Niu vigorously rubbed his fists in anger, as if he had decided that the old madman would never return.

Only Qin Lin was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Shall we make a bet?" I expect that Xu Wenchang will definitely come back, and he will definitely be able to bring back the Bi brothers! ”

Xu Wenchang is indeed crazy, very crazy, but the root of his illness is an obsession, that is, the failure of the appeasement, Wang Zhi was beheaded, the situation festered, Hu Zongxian was defiled, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians were unjustly killed.

Of course, he also showed manic symptoms from time to time, this madness has to be broken, Qin Lin has a radical cure, and when Xu Wenchang comes back from Huizhou...... As soon as he saw off Xu Wenchang at the door, Qin Lin was about to turn around and go in, when he saw Li Shizhen and Qing Dai coming back from the direction of Ying Tianfu from a distance.

In the past few days, Qin Lin has been busy arranging many affairs in the pencil workshop, and Li Shizhen is running for the publication of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and I don't know if things are going well?

Li Shizhen's thin figure looked rickety, and his expression was quite lonely.

Qing Dai held her grandfather's arm, her little mouth was pouting, and her big watery eyes were a little red, because she didn't want her grandfather to feel uncomfortable, she couldn't help but cry, but the aggrieved look hung on her face, so that people could see it at a glance.

The Compendium of Materia Medica is a masterpiece of Chinese medicine, with 52 volumes, 1,892 kinds of medicines, more than 11,000 prescriptions, and 1,160 illustrations.

If this book can be published and spread all over the world, countless people will benefit from it, and the lives of thousands of sick people will be saved, and the real merit will be immeasurable.

But the problem is that such a great medical masterpiece has encountered difficulties in publishing books that have been praised by masters such as Charles Darwin and Joseph Needham, a great expert in the history of science and technology.

Nanjing is the cultural center of the whole of South China, and Li Shizhen came here to ask for help, hoping that Wang Shizhen, the leader of the Yin Literary League of Yingtianfu who had a relationship in his early years, would lend a helping hand, and even more hoped to find a bookseller here who was willing to publish the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

But he was disappointed, and he was turned away when he went to Wang's house to see him for several days, and today he was even more humiliated by the words of the servant, which made this miracle doctor who was famous in Jingxiang and had countless living people ashamed, and walked back with a stomach full of anger.

Qin Lin knew that Li Shizhen was in trouble, so he greeted him and said with a smile: "Uncle Taishi has been running for the past few days, how is the matter of publishing?" ”

"Huh? No, it's nothing, it's all going well, it's going well," Li Shizhen's eyes flickered, his expression was very embarrassed, the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which he spent his whole life writing, could not be published, and the pain in his heart can be imagined.

(Cat's note: In the original history, this medical masterpiece was not printed and published in Li Shizhen's life, and the great author walked to the end of his life with endless regrets.) "Really? Qin Lin didn't believe it at all, and set his eyes on Qingdai.

Li Shizhen's face was flat, meaning that Qingdai should not say it.

But the little girl can't hold back this way, how can she endure it in front of Qin Lin, who is closest to and trusted? Tears fell down in big drops: "Brother Qin, those people are so bad, they say that grandpa's books are garbage, and if you don't go to Master Wang, it's useless to go a thousand times......"

Qin Lin heard that his heart was on fire, how could Li Shizhen, who had saved countless Li people, and his writings that would be famous for future generations, be so slandered?

"What's so great about Wang Shizhen, his servants dare to be so rude? Wait for me to scold him first to vent his anger for Uncle Taishi, and then we will spend money to publish the "Compendium of Materia Medica", hum, what a thing! Qin Lin said as he walked in the direction of Ying Tianfu.

Others only know that Wang Shizhen is the leader of the literary world, the leader of the "Later Seven Sons", and the dignified and upright three-grade Ying Tianfu Yin, while Li Shizhen is only a doctor in Qizhou, and the oldest has only been a Tai Doctor of the eighth grade, and his status is suspended from heaven and earth.

But Qin Lin is completely aware that Wang Shizhen's poems and articles have not been circulated in later generations at all, and the biggest contribution may be the fragrant "Golden Vase Plum", and Li Shizhen is a generation of grandmasters, and his "Compendium of Materia Medica" is the emperor's masterpiece, and I don't know how many living beings have been saved because of this.

Li Shizhen grabbed Qin Lin, and his old face turned red: "Don't mess around, make yourself ugly and make others look down on us, alas...... Besides, publishing isn't just about spending money. ”

It turns out that in this era, books to be popular must be praised by celebrities in the literary world, and many celebrities and celebrities have commented on it, so that it can be widely known, on the contrary, even if you have money, you spend money to print books, and the bookstores in the south, seven, north and sixty-three provinces see that the front preface page is a light board, and the back title is blank, so you naturally have to worry about the market and dare not buy it, even if it is given away in vain, no one will read it.

Although Dr. Li Shizhen's fame is great, it is only limited to the Jinghu area, what Shanxi, Hebei, Fujian, Guangdong, who knows what this Li does? If it is really like Qin Lin said that he spends money to print it, I am afraid that only the doctors in Jinghu are willing to buy it, and it will not achieve the original intention of passing the world and benefiting all the people.

"It turns out that the publishing industry in the Ming Dynasty also has unspoken rules!" Qin Lin sighed, assured Li Shizhen that he would not go to Ying Tianfu to mess around, and quietly glanced at Qing Dai.

Sure enough, he had a good idea, and not long after helping his grandfather in, Qing Dai ran out in small steps, pulled Qin Lin's sleeve, and said sweetly: "Brother Qin, does you have any ideas?" Qing Dai knew that Brother Qin had the best way. ”

Qin Lin pulled the little Lori's pink face, provoked her to wave her little fist fiercely, and then said with a smile: "Brother not only wants to make the "Compendium of Materia Medica" published smoothly, but also let Zhang Juzheng write the preface, Wang Shizhen to write the postscript, hum, isn't it an unspoken rule?" In this way, it will always be popular all over the world! ”

Qing Dai covered her mouth in surprise, if this is true, it would be great! He was worried: "Wang Fuzun is such a big official, are you willing to write for us?" Zhang Shoufu is the father of Zixuan's sister, he is far away in Beijing, and he must be very busy after talking about so many things in the imperial court......"

The girl has a heart purer than crystal, even if she has a good relationship with Xu Xinyi and Zhang Zixuan, she has never thought of using the power of her two sisters to achieve anything.

Qin Lin first took Qingdai to find Zhang Zixuan, who settled in the large garden of a scholar scholar.

Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu went out to meet literary friends, Zhang Zixuan saw that Qin Lin came with Qingdai without Xu Xinyi following, her attitude was more enthusiastic than Pingyue, and she pulled Qingdai's sister to ask for warmth.

Qin Lin told the truth, and went straight to the point and asked Zhang Juzheng to write the preface to the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

"Oh, this is a good thing with a famous name, in the future, the medical books will be passed on to future generations, and my father will also have a good reputation, the so-called not a good appearance is a good doctor, my father's reputation is left to future generations to comment, but the name of Mr. Li's miracle doctor is a certainty!" Zhang Zixuan nodded with a smile, agreed without hesitation, and said it very politely.

Qingdai immediately smiled, and climbed on her shoulder to coquettishly: "Sister Zixuan is really good!" ”

"What about Sister Bixu?" Zhang Zixuan couldn't help but ask, and after saying that, she regretted it a little, and couldn't help but look at Qin Lin, with a pun on her words.

Qin Lin didn't say anything, staring at Zhang Zixuan with a smile, with a scoundrel look.

The snow-white and delicate face of the daughter of the Prime Minister turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she deeply regretted that she was too interested in appearance just now, and she would be despised by Qin Lin - what others think, she doesn't care much, she has the style of being a father who acts arbitrarily and is not afraid of slander and ridicule, but it is different when Qin Lin is changed, and a heart always looks forward and cares about it.

Still Qingdai is honest, twisting Zhang Zixuan and giggling: "Sister Zixuan is good, Sister Xu is good, Qingdai can't tell who is better." ”

Her innocent appearance made Zhang Zixuan laugh, and she raised the corner of her forehead: "What a sweet sister, this is the best sister, but when I turned around, I ran with my brother again." ”

Qing Dai hugged Zhang Zixuan's arm, laughing and playing, one was green with the unique charm of a girl, as sweet and sour as a green apple, and the other had a beautiful face, his eyes were deep and misty, and the intimate demeanor of the two of them fell in the eyes of Qin Lin, and there was some kind of unhealthy association.

Ahem, Qin Lin coughed dryly: "It's too time-consuming to travel between the Beijing Division, can you hurry up?" ”

"You mean......" Zhang Zixuan understood what Qin Lin meant after thinking about it for a while, and was angry and funny: "Okay, wow, you guy really didn't have a good heart, let the little sister forge the handwriting seal of the first assistant of the imperial court?" ”

Qin Lin smiled evilly and slammed to the ground: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

"I've got you!" Zhang Zixuan walked helplessly to the desk.

This kind of thing can only be done by asking her or the two Zhang Gongzi, and it is natural for the children to ghostwrite for their father.

"What are you doing in a daze," the daughter of the Prime Minister looked back lightly, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were already full of style: "Where is the scholar Qin Lin, why don't you come to grind ink and lay paper for Miss Ben?" ”
