"Can you really do it?" Tang Da's shopkeeper widened his eyes, not to mention the status of "The Legend of the West Chamber" in literature, and it may not be comparable to a popular novel in terms of sales for decades.

"We can sign a contract, and if we can't do it, I will compensate you, how about it?"

"Good!" said the shopkeeper Tang happily.

Fang Yundao: "As far as I know, if a book is priced at ten wen, then the literary academy and the imperial court account for four wen, and the author, bookstore and bookstore each account for two wen. If I want to open a book shop, I don't know how long it will take to reach the level of Xuanting, not to mention the slowdown in the spread of the literary name, and it may even delay my literary position, so I will choose to cooperate with your bank. But can you adjust the proportion?"

"I can call the shots, we'll let you get half of it, and you can get two of five percent. Tang Da shopkeeper said.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Tang, you didn't say anything smart. The sales of this book will inevitably be good, and your share of each bookstore will be reduced from 20% to 1/2, which means that your own share will remain unchanged. I don't want much, as long as it's two out of eight, how about it?"

The shopkeeper Tang lowered his head, as if he was calculating carefully, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "Okay! I'll contact the chief shopkeeper right away to finalize the details of the contract and come back to you tomorrow. If another book store comes to you, I hope you can keep the gentleman's agreement. ”

"That's natural, unless you Xuanting give up first, I won't discuss the matter of popular fiction with any other book store. ”

"Fang Shuangjia is a happy person, farewell!"

Not long after the shopkeeper of Tang Da left, the family members of Li Wenying's mansion came with a demon pen, and in addition to the two strong family members who escorted Wenbao, there was also a bull general at the level of a person.

Fang Yun sensed that something was staring at him, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a huge eagle demon flying high in the sky, the eagle demon screamed, flapped its wings and left.

"He is worthy of being a university scholar, and he sends two barbarian demons to send something, and his private soldiers alone may be able to slaughter a county town. Fang Yun thought secretly.

After giving Fang Yun the brocade box containing the demon pen, the family handed out two small boxes, saying that there were two pieces of Tianhuang stone inside, which were used as seals for Fang Yun.

Fang Yun didn't know Li Wenying's intentions, but he knew that he would not harm himself, otherwise his courage would inevitably go wrong.

After counting the things given by the Queen Mother, several people in the family began to make a fire and cook.

Mrs. Jiang and Fang Da Niu were much more excited than Yang Yuhuan, they kept talking about the Queen Mother's reward, and they had been boasting about Fang Yun, and Mrs. Jiang volunteered to make a cloth bag to wrap up the Queen Mother's decree, and said that it was Shang Fang's sword.

Yang Yuhuan took a thin piece of Longgong blood ginseng, cleaned it and put it in water to soak, took out half of the water soaked in blood ginseng and boiled a small casserole porridge for Fang Yun alone.

After the porridge is cooked, the fragrance overflows, and the whole room is filled with a slightly fishy smell, and just smelling it makes people feel comfortable.

Yang Yuhuan put the porridge in front of Fang Yun's table and said, "The person who gave the gift told me that ordinary people can't eat Longgong blood ginseng directly, they can only soak it in water and drink it for about ten days before they can eat it little by little." After all, this thing is eaten by dragons, and a small dragon is ten zhang long, and our human race can't stand it. ”

"You're weak, and we're half of us. Fang Yundao.

Yang Yuhuan hurriedly excused himself and said: "You are a child who can stand it, I am afraid that my current body will not be able to withstand this great supplement." ”

"Okay, you'll drink it in a few days. ”

The slave looked at Fang Yun's porridge with blank eyes, and gently licked his lips with his little pink tongue.

Fang Yun saw its gluttony and asked with a smile, "Do you want to drink?"

The slave's eyes really struggled for a while, then he shook his head firmly and pointed at Fang Yun with his little furry white paws.

"You let me drink?" Fang Yun asked.

The slave nodded, put two small paws to his mouth to make a gesture of eating, then raised his arms, stood upright with his legs, and the white fox fur on his whole body stood up, became fluffy, and appeared larger.

"You're going to let me eat it myself so I can get stronger?"

The slave nodded vigorously.

Fang Yun smiled and touched the slave's head and said, "It seems that you are a little fox with only a conscience. ”

The slave immediately grinned and jumped with joy.

After eating, Fang Yun returned to the house and picked up the demon pen to observe carefully.

This is an ordinary small brush, light brown pen barrel, gray-white pen tip, the pen barrel of this brush is obviously ordinary bamboo, but it is like jade in the hand, and it weighs a pound.

Fang Yun took a deep breath and wrote with ink, and found that because the brush was too heavy, the writing was awkward, but he might often have to write with a Wenbao pen in the future, so he decided to practice calligraphy with a demon pen.

It's a pity that he is still a child, and he can't use the words on paper to stimulate the power of the demon pen.

Fang Yun thought while writing: "After today's events, Liu Zicheng will inevitably use other means to hit me, I must pay attention to never go out of the city before mastering the paper talks." As long as I am within the scope of the temple, he will not dare to kill me. I also tried to keep a low profile in the admission report on the 10th of this month, otherwise I would inevitably be taken advantage of by him. ”

"Now my foundation in Fucheng is still weak, and I don't have a strong support. When I become a saint showman, even if you Liu Zicheng don't come to me, I will take the initiative to find you and solve your big trouble!"

After practicing the words, Fang Yun picked up a copy of "Explanation of the Scriptures", which is a book that teaches children how to write the scriptures and examined Xiucai.

Fang Yun found a scripture title from above "Ask for it and get it", and wrote one with the method taught by Cai He, the county order, without using the strange book world, and then judged it with the method in the book.

Fang Yun carefully analyzed.

"The order of my sutra should not be D, at least C, and maybe even C. The disadvantage of my scriptures is that they are not deep enough, they fail to fully elaborate this sentence of Mencius, and they do not have enough strength to solve the problem. But the advantage is that as a modern person, I have been baptized by a large amount of information, and I have surpassed the level of ordinary talents in terms of 'ideas' and 'enumeration', and ideas are precisely one of the important aspects of scripture and policy. ”

To put it simply, Jingyi is to explain the topic first, and then use your own examples or opinions to confirm the previous explanation, and then cite the opinions of some famous experts to support it, and finally end it. I argued through the search of three kinds of people: naïve children, reckless youths, and wise old men, and then quoted the words of the demi-saints I learned a few days ago to prove my point, and there was nothing wrong with the basic structure. ”

"Next, I want to exercise my ability to solve the question, learn to use the sharpest sentences at the beginning to make the examiner's eyes shine, and then attract the examiner with novel ideas, and then find out the examiner's philosophy to write the examiner's favorite holy quotations. ”

"However, even if I have to cater to the examiner, I can't go against my own philosophy! I am doing scriptures for my holy way, not for the imperial examination!"

Thinking of this, Fang Yun immediately noticed that Wen Gong trembled slightly, and his talent was more condensed, which was more effective than studying hard for three days in a row.

Fang Yun was even more convinced of his choice.

Fang Yun continued to read the book "Explanation of the Scriptures and Meanings", and read it for three hours before he saw the way.

"The author of this "Explanation of the Scriptures" was originally an ordinary Jinshi in Jingguo, and he knew the pattern of the scriptures very well, which was of great help to me, but the flaw was that his thinking was too solid, and he paid too much attention to the 'technique', and it was a little bad when it came to 'technique', not to mention 'Dao'. ”

"The structure of a sutra and the beginning and end of the meaning are all techniques, and how to make the topic profound and novel is the category of art, as for the Tao, that is the idea of being on a par with the saints, I don't dare to hope for it at present. According to my inference, as long as you master the technique, you can show your talent, and if you want to be a person who wants to be promoted, you must have your own skills, and if you are a jinshi, you need to practice both skills and techniques to the extent that you are perfect. ”

"As for the Dao, at least Hanlin can touch the threshold. It is no wonder that the imperial examination only goes to the jinshi, because the Tao is not an examination that can distinguish the superior. ”

"I realized that the 'technique' can be clearly explained, but the 'Tao' and 'technique' are difficult for people to learn in a fixed mode, so I realized the flaws of this book. If you want to learn the true art and the Tao, others can't teach it, and there is no shortcut. ”

"Look more. Read a lot of the scriptures of those famous people and even saints, even if the scriptures they wrote are not suitable for the imperial examination. Their scriptures and texts are like seeds, which may be useless in ordinary times, but they will inevitably take root and sprout at critical moments to form inspiration. ”

"Think more. Think about what is good about other people's scriptures, think about where your own shortcomings are, think about how to correct them, and think about how to strengthen your own strengths. ”

"Write more. Only by constantly writing can we master how to correctly express our ideas and thoughts, and achieve freedom of retraction. ”

"This book of "Explanation of the Meaning of the Scriptures", read it all. ”

Fang Yun did not hesitate to receive this book to the world of strange books, and even if he read it again in the future, he would only read it extensively.

Fang Yun continued to flip through other relevant scripture and meaning guidance books, and with experience, he no longer read them word by word, but jumped to read them.

The moonlight at the beginning of the month was dim, and the room was dark, with no lights or candles, but it did not affect Fang Yun's reading at all.

Not long after, Fang Yun turned to the works of Zhu Hongzhi in the early years of the great Confucian, and even mentioned the related concepts of reading more, thinking more and writing more, if he got the treasure, he immediately decided to buy Qi Zhu Hongzhi's anthology tomorrow.

"It is worthy of a generation of Confucianism, this person can not only write himself, but also teach people, his scriptures can be called a model, the structure is rigorous, the organization is clear, the idea is novel, it is completely equal to teaching people by hand. This "Starry Sky Collection" is really a must-read for candidates. It's a pity that other candidates can't read as quickly as I can't screen quickly, or I can't see it if I'm unlucky, or I can't understand its meaning, it's a pity. If you can comprehend this book, supplemented by other learning, it is more than enough to take the test. ”

Fang Yun solemnly put "Starry Sky Collection" into the world of strange books, and then closed his eyes and read it repeatedly.

When I opened my eyes, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and the sky was bright.

"Dragon Palace blood ginseng is really a good thing, and I am still in good spirits. If the blood ginseng of the Dragon Palace continues, it is enough to sleep only two hours a day! In this way, the possibility of me becoming a Xiucai this year has greatly increased. ”

Fang Yun left the desk and went to sleep on the kang.
