Chapter 100: Benefits

PS: "Gold Master" is finally on the shelves, thank you for your great support! Although it has been out of the new book period in the traditional sense, the recommendation vote is still very useful for Xiaotang, please continue to support it! In addition, please give a monthly pass, it will be on the shelves on the first day today, and the soup will explode!

There are books that are written by a thunderous audience, but not necessarily read them.

There are books that everyone reads, but they don't necessarily remember the author.

For example, "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" have been used as children's textbooks for hundreds of years, who remembers who their authors are?

It can be seen that influence and prestige are not necessarily proportional.

When Xu Yuanzuo "borrowed" "Kindergarten Qionglin", he did not expect it to bring the century-old prestige of a famous book, but only to provide his subordinates with more efficient learning materials. However, the book eventually brought him great prestige in terms of timeliness.

What's even more rare is that it's not just readers who can use it.

As soon as this book came out, Zheng Yue's income was even greater.

If herdsmen want to have political achievements, there are two key points: first, the completion of taxes; Second, local cultural and educational achievements.

As the richest regions in the world, the two prefectures of Susong are also the most taxed in the world. And Su Song's rich household is not a fool, how to deal with the magistrate in the natural way, so the magistrates of these two prefectures can pay fifty percent of the tax, and they are masters who can be officials. can pay 70% of the tax, which is enough to make the boss look sideways, and the feudal officials are just around the corner!

It is said that ten percent of the tax can be directly entered the cabinet and summoned Taizu Yingling to ride the dragon down to the mortal reward...... It's just myths and legends anyway.

Zheng Yue and Xu Fan are so close, and the issue of tax payment is naturally guaranteed.

As for local culture and education. To put it simply, it depends on how many talents, how many lifters, and how many jinshi have been cultivated during the tenure. Considering that officials are elected for a three-year term. Lifting people and jinshi are also exams every three years, so the latter two all depend on luck. If you are lucky, you can pick other people's peaches; As luck would have it, the peach was picked by the successor.

The number of students is better, but the quota is very dead, and for the county order, it is to compete for positions with other counties.

There are only two counties in Songjiang Prefecture, so there is nothing to grab between Huating and Shanghai.

Outside the imperial examinations. There is also an item of "writings".

During his tenure, there were young people who wrote influential books, which were also the achievements of herdsmen. However, there is no approval for Daming to publish a book, but everyone can't make a mistake if they want to publish a book. And the book that they all admire, but it is not easy. Even the books written by famous Confucians in the world are always called out. Even when Xu Jie was the first assistant, he would be sneered at by people inside and outside the door when he gave a lecture on psychology.

Xu Yuanzuo inadvertently practiced the wisdom of Lao Tzu.

I don't compete with you for high-end academics. Just play with the lower grades.

You great Confucians. It's too late to write a book, are you willing to spend time writing this?

You Jinshi, singing spring and sad autumn, it is too late to be sentimental, can you see such a superficial thing?

And because of its superficiality, it is all straightforward to preach benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and you are a ready-made school of kung fu. Can anyone find fault? If you find fault in this, wouldn't it be contrary to mainstream values!

And it works!

It's a complete children's encyclopedia. As long as you memorize it, you won't be ashamed when you go out to see the ceremony, you won't be cheated when you buy and sell things, and the clan gathering can be in the limelight. All the content is a translation of slang gossip into classical Chinese, which is simply a quick textbook for improving the forced style!

After reading this set of "Kindergarten Transcripts", Zheng Yue seemed to see an ideal world where there is no white ding in the township and there is Sven in the village!

"This son is only fourteen years old, but he has this academic ability, which is enough to be commended." After reading the "Kindergarten Transcript", of course, it was Zheng Yue's revised version, and what he saw in his heart was similar to that of Zhen Zhenji, and he had already raised the preservation of this book to a cultural and educational event.

Therefore, Zhen Zhen Jicai specially called Zheng Yue to exchange experiences, and said: "Although Tong Meng's book is rarely written by Tong Meng. And according to the old man's opinion, this book will be able to circulate for a hundred years like "Three Hundred Thousand" in the future. ”

Zheng Yue said with a smile: "What Lao Huangtang said is very true, and the lower officials also see it like this. In the future, this book will be printed, so that the world will know that my Songjiang is prosperous. After that, Zheng Yue took out a roll of rice paper from his boots, unfolded it and handed it over: "Xiaguan took the liberty to draft it, please correct it from Lao Huangtang." ”

Zhen Zhenji took a look, it turned out to be a preface, the front only said that there is a prodigy Xu here, Yuanfu clan, taught in the village school, inducted by the sages, accumulated over time, the achievement of the "Copy" four volumes and thirty-three articles, the description is detailed, can be the world Tong Meng pen.

This is a general talk, and there is nothing to see except that Zheng Jinshi's writing is excellent.

Of course, this point does not exist in the eyes of Zhen Zhenji, who is also a jinshi and is a second-class forty-one.

The next paragraph is the point.

In this key paragraph, Zheng Yue was greatly admired by Zhen Zhenji for presiding over the work of Songjiang Mansion.

First of all, from the position of his subordinates, it is so happy to have such a senior who is familiar with government affairs and guides the administration. Then, from the perspective of the local people, he praised Zhen Zhenji for how honest and diligent he was, and he deserved his name. Finally, from the perspective of a friend, he "criticized" the prefect for being too rigid, strict and fair in the trial of cases and prisons, and sparing no effort in selecting talents......

The final touch: It is a county guard like the prefect of the heart that can produce auspiciousness like Xu Yuanzuo!

Zhen Zhen Jirao is well-read, and his exam scores are much higher than Zheng Yue's, and he has to admire Zheng Yue's talent and writing, so he almost said: Xiao Zheng, when I die, you can help me write a line.

"Very good, just a little more complicated." Zhen Zhenji said shyly.

Zheng Yue stepped forward seriously, read the book again, borrowed a pen, and said: "What Huang Tang said is very true, and it will be deleted and changed by the lower officials." After that, he deleted five or six sentences from the first paragraph, and one or two sentences from the second paragraph, and said, "This is almost one page, and it will be used." ”

Zhen Zhenji thought about it for a while, and finally nodded, and said; "Is this Xu Jiazi or Mengtong?"

"I haven't started writing yet, and I plan to watch it in February." Zheng Yue returned to his original position: "When the lower official saw that he was still eye-catching, he accepted him as a doorman, no matter his age or avoiding suspicion, he would never dare to take him." Only after the subordinate official left his post was he allowed to make a name for himself. ”

Zhen Zhenji didn't care whether Zheng Yue was talking the other way or not, shook his head and said: "It's not easy to have such academic ability at the age of fourteen, if you don't take him, not only will you not protect his reputation, but you will delay him." The prefect paused and said: "No matter how he writes essays, Fang Pan must let him live." You can report a prodigy to come up, and I have my own share of learning the Tao. ”

This means that it is clearly said that the government has also been sure.

If from the usual point of view, the children recommended by the prefectural and county officials, the great grandmaster will generally not be dethroned in the academy examination, so Xu Yuanzuo's student hat can be regarded as a real wear.

However, why did Zhen Zhenji think that Xu Yuanzuo was only fourteen years old?

Because that's what Zheng Yue said!

Zheng Yue also has this means. He asked people to check the county's fish scale yellow book, and found that the Xu family had no land and no land, and the household was waiting in Xiazhong - on the verge of bankruptcy.

After Xu Yuanzuo was born, he didn't even report his household registration. Now there are only three members of the Xu family registered on the yellow register: Xu He and his wife, plus a daughter.

So Zheng Zhixian said hello to the household below, gave Xu Yuanzuo a household registration, and directly wrote that Jiajing was born in the thirty-fourth year.

Isn't that fourteen? And I'm only 14 years old this year!

"Also," Zhen Zhenji said suddenly, "don't mention the matter of the Yuanfu clan. Prodigies are like Ganoderma lucidum, and growing up in the mountains and wilderness is genuine. Born in a wealthy family, it is nothing more than Zhilan. ”

The native prodigy is Ganoderma lucidum auspicious, and the rich and noble family is the watered bluegrass.

Zheng Yue heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and hurriedly deleted the sentence "Yuanfu clan".

The two governors of the prefecture and county checked it again, discussed the joint outline of this year's children's test, and then dispersed.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't know that his set of "Transcripts" had helped him earn the most basic fame of the Ming Dynasty, but he felt that this set of books was indeed very useful to him, and he was considering whether to print thirty sets or twenty sets.

The reason why it is not much fanfare to print a little more is purely because publishing books in this era is simply a money-losing business.

No one talks to you about intellectual property rights at all, and everyone prints your book when it sells well, and the author doesn't have half a penny or silver manuscript fee! As for the books you print, will anyone buy them? Not necessarily, a book with a small number of words like this is related to schoolwork, and good students copy it by themselves!

This is probably the main reason why teaching aids are sold cheaper than "Journey to the West".

Copying the Four Books and Five Classics and making art texts can deepen the impression, and more intelligent people can copy it once and memorize it.

Who is willing to copy "Journey to the West"! (To be continued......)
