29. Objects in the Pool (II)
Everyone saluted the old man together, Tang Shunzhi was no exception, Zheng Guang saw it, and had to follow the salute. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The white-haired old man waved his hand and looked at Zheng Guang with a smile: "Today we gathered here for Xiaoguang, not for anything else, by the way, you have Xiaoguang today, what is it for all of us to gather here?" Just let us know Xiaoguang, we don't have to take the initiative, right? ”
Tang Shunzhi sat down and said respectfully: "Peng Shangong, it's not that the juniors want to let the big guys know Xiaoguang, but Xiaoguang has his own ideas and wants to get the help of your seniors, Guang'er, come to see Peng Shangong." ”
Everyone in the boat looked at Zheng Guang with interest, and the white-haired old man also looked at Zheng Guang, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, don't worry too much, Xiaoguang, the old man's name is Ji Ben, and the old man is a decay; Hehehe, listen to Shunzhi, you have something, not that he has something and wants me to help? ”
Jiben? Wang Yangming's disciple? No wonder......
Zheng Guang was slightly surprised, and then sorted out his thoughts, and sat upright like Tang Shunzhi, bowed slightly, and then straightened up and said: "Exactly, the juniors have something to hope to get the help of Peng Shangong and the seniors." ”
The white-haired old man nodded appreciatively, just this bearing, it is very Tang Shunzhi's demeanor when he was young, and he really deserves to be a famous teacher and apprentice, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it, so the white-haired old man said: "What do you want our help with?" If it is the imperial examination, your teacher is your biggest helper, and the old man thinks that you don't need the help of everyone here, and besides, there are some people among them who have not been admitted to the Jinshi. ”
A few slightly younger people showed unnatural expressions on their faces, and smiled self-deprecatingly with embarrassed smiles, which made Zheng Guang can't help but feel how much significance the imperial examination has for scholars in this era, but what he hopes for is not so: "Peng Shangong, the younger generation doesn't care much about the things in fame, besides, the younger generation is also young, and there are many opportunities, and the help that the younger generation hopes to get is about books." ”
The white-haired old man frowned and asked, "Oh? Book? ”
Zheng Guang nodded: "Actually, the younger generation wants the family to start running the book club. ”
The faces of the people in the boat showed strange colors, and the white-haired old man was also very puzzled: "Xiaoguang, your own clan affairs, you and the clansmen discuss it, and it is also the Zheng family's business to start a book club, what does it have to do with us?" As he spoke, the white-haired old man looked at Tang Shunzhi with puzzled eyes, with the intention of asking, but Tang Shunzhi didn't say anything, just drank slowly with a tea bowl, obviously an insider.
Zheng Guang opened his mouth and said: "Peng Shangong, the younger generation has the courage to seek advice, today's Ming Dynasty, the hottest and most popular book for readers, what is the book?" ”
Although the white-haired old man felt strange in his heart, he still held back his doubts, thought for a while, and said slowly: "If it is said that the most popular among scholars, it is naturally the books related to the imperial examination, followed by some strange novels, wild essays and so on. ”
Zheng Guang nodded and said: "Selling books is naturally to sell to literate readers, and there are thousands of readers in the Ming Dynasty, and the only thing they care about is the imperial examination.
And the younger generation throughout the Ming Dynasty today some books related to the imperial examination, nothing more than some of the imperial examination questions and model essays over the years, that is, Cheng Wen Cheng Mo, neither know what it is, nor do it know why, get the books, except rote memorization, there is no other way, the righteousness that students are exposed to is nothing more than the teacher's dictation, students listen to lectures, teachers occasionally come out with some questions to test students, students occasionally do some topics, exercise writing, and a large number of questions, only about a year before the imperial examination.
This is still the student who studied under Confucianism to have the opportunity to do a large number of questions to exercise the level, most of the students, before participating in the scientific examination, whether to do ten questions, still to be discussed, the difference in the level of students, can be seen in general, and the idea of the younger generation, is not limited to the publication of other books, and then sell, the younger generation hopes to write their own book series, exclusive to the Zheng book series of the Society.
All kinds of big and small questions, all kinds of eight-strand article questions, all listed in it, there is the source of the topic, why the questioner came up with this question, what is the purpose of the examination, the topic explanation, the analysis of the question type, the example of the model, etc., etc., is not only the real question of the imperial examination that has been produced, but also all the topics that we can think of, and the questions that have never appeared are the same, all listed on it, the name is an example, for the students to do their own essays, we will put the analysis and explanation and the model essay at the end of the book, for the students to refer to the answer after completion.
Therefore, the younger generation needs the help of your predecessors and gathers the strength of your predecessors to light a bright light for the candidates who are suffering from the imperial examination, and point out the way forward for them. ”
As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was shocked, most of the people in the boat were dumbfounded, dumbfounded, unable to speak, the white-haired old man looked solemnly, looking directly at Zheng Guang, the white fat man who was thrown in the corner did not know when he woke up, and when he heard it, he fainted in the corner again, and no one cared, only Tang Shunzhi, holding a tea bowl, drank it slowly, and seemed to be extremely comfortable.
After a long time, Ji Ben removed his gaze from Zheng Guang, shifted it to Tang Shunzhi, and said, "Shunzhi, you know everything, right?" ”
Tang Shunzhi nodded: "Yes, Peng Shangong, the juniors are clear." ”
Gibbon asked, "Do you know what the difficulty is with this?" What are the risks? ”
Tang Shunzhi looked at Zheng Guang, and Zheng Guang immediately spoke: "As the initiator, if the younger generation is not admitted to the Jinshi, then the book club will naturally not be able to initiate, but if the younger generation is lucky enough to win the Jinshi, the younger generation will have the reputation and capital to start a book club." ”
Ji Ben then asked: "There is no tax to open a book club, but it needs the approval of the government, and this recognition is not so easy to get!" ”
Zheng Guang smiled and said: "In this matter, as long as the juniors can be admitted to the Jinshi, they will be confident!" ”
Ji Ben took a deep breath, looked around, looked at everyone, and said, "What do you think of what Xiaoguang said?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I'll look at you, and finally, Zhu Dashou said: "Peng Shangong, I thought that if this matter is successful, for the students of the world, it should really be a bright light in the sea of bitterness, if there is such a book, I also want to have a book, day and night, if there is such a book to help since childhood, learning, it must be twice the result with half the effort, but in the end, this is also speculation, whether this is really the case, I still need Xiaoguang to give me an exact answer." ”
Saying that, Zhu Dashou set his eyes on Zheng Guang: "Xiaoguang, you also said, the premise of all this is that you can be admitted to the Jinshi of Jinke, and you must be a Jinshi of Jinke, so that you can promote your own methods to students all over the world with great fame, so that you can be sought after, Rao is so, once we sign it, it is equivalent to standing with you, if such a book is not easy to use, we will have a bad reputation, I personally don't care, but Peng Shan Gong Jingchuan brother them, but there is a so-called." ”
Everyone nodded together, obviously agreeing with this, no one will put their reputation and money on it in vain to help a little guy who just met to do things, even if this little guy is really amazing, but they can't see the result, they won't take risks, Zheng Guang didn't feel strange, so he nodded and said: "After the juniors are admitted to the Jinshi, I will ask someone to bring a sample compiled by the juniors themselves to you to read, if you think it is feasible, then please do a lot of please, if there is any accident in it, if the juniors make their own mistakes, Nothing has happened today. ”
The white-shirted man who had just spoken said with a smile said: "Today's imperial examination, in the next, Duanfu and Wenqing will participate, and Taicang Wang Shizhen will also participate, Xiaoguang, I have more than ten or twenty years of experience in the imperial examination, far above you, you have to be prepared!" ”
Zheng Guang laughed confidently: "Others dare not say it, the younger generation will not lose to this fat!" ”
Zheng Guang pointed to the white fat man who was obscene and wanted to get up and drink wine, and suddenly everyone laughed, the white fat man looked embarrassed and angry, and dropped the wine glass and said angrily: "You kid, you ridiculed me three times and twice!" Tang Jingchuan! I am inseparable from you! Hey, boy! You wait for me, I will also participate in the Jinke Township Examination, let's see! ”
Ji Ben couldn't stop laughing, his eyes looking at Zheng Guang became softer and more appreciative, and he whispered to Tang Shunzhi: "Shunzhi, I heard you say that the Zheng family that this child was born in is not a poor family and has a lot of family assets, but why does this child still try to expand the family industry?" Is he a lover of money? ”
Tang Shunzhi's face showed a thoughtful look, and slowly shook his head: "Guang'er has never talked about what he thinks about money, so I don't know, but Zheng's benevolence is well-known in Suzhou, and Guang'er often helps some poor people, between words, he doesn't take money very seriously, his move, I think the name is the most important, money should be secondary, although there is no tax on the sale of books, but the price of books will not be too high, even if it is bigger, there are not many literate people, and they can't make a lot of money." ”
Ji Ben cast his eyes on Zheng Guang, who was fighting with the white fat man Xu Wenqing, squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know why, the old man always has a feeling that this son is not a thing in the pool, by the way, you are his teacher, usually, you have to mention more, if this son can really soar up to 90,000 miles, if the heart is not good, it is definitely not a good thing for Daming, the old man has a hunch, he will definitely be able to get the Jinshi of Jinke and become famous in the world." ”
Tang Shun's heart moved, and he remembered Zheng Guang's almost rebellious statement of the four people, and then nodded and said, "I understand later." ”
