Chapter 18: The Holy Land, the Mountain of Books

Fang Yun didn't expect this uncle to be so bold, the barbarian marquis is equivalent to a university scholar, enough to break the city by himself, very powerful.

"That nephew thanked my uncle for relieving me of the siege, and I was worried that I couldn't go to the Fuwen Academy. With your words, I can rest assured that I can go to Dayuan Mansion. Fang Yun immediately stood up and thanked him.

Fang Shouye smiled and said, "Our Dayuan Fang family finally produced a saint-former child, how can I watch you die in vain? However, although Liu Zicheng does not dare to kill you, he will definitely hit your literary name." He ranked in the top ten in the government examination that year, he went to the book mountain, his literary name and talent are quite desirable, and he is also in the Fuwen Academy, you should pay attention when you enter the Fuwen Academy. As long as he doesn't use drastic means, I can't attack him again. ”

"My nephew understood. But can you tell us more about Shushan?" Fang Yun asked curiously.

Fang Shouye showed nostalgia and regret, and said, "That's a holy place. Not only can you practice 'literary courage', but also get 'literary heart'. There are a total of nine mountains in Shushan, and the first three mountains have three pavilions in each mountain. It is said that every time you cross three mountains, you can get a literary heart. ”

"I've been there twice. The first time I won the show, I went, but unfortunately I only climbed to the third pavilion of the first mountain, and I can't say that I didn't get anything, after all, my talent has been enhanced. The second time I was hit by someone to go, but unfortunately I stopped in front of the second pavilion on the second mountain. However, I cultivated my courage after the middle lift, and the second time I climbed the Book Mountain to temper my courage, it can be regarded as a harvest. ”

"What's in the book mountain?" Fang Yun asked curiously.

Fang Shouye shook his head and said: "I don't remember, people who have been there only remember what they got from where they logged in, and they don't remember anything else." Shushan has been continuously blessed by the saints of the past dynasties, and it is a place to test talents and lift people. It is said that after entering the Book Mountain, there is a very small possibility of obtaining the 'holy book', which is a treasure made by the saints using their own talents. ”

"That's a pity. Fang Yun thought that he could learn about Shushan from Fang Shouye.

Fang Shouye said: "Remember, in the future, when you go up to the Book Mountain, you must try your best to climb the mountain! We are not the Saint Family, and we can only enter the Book Mountain twice in our lifetime, and the people of the Saint Family, after entering the Scholar, can enter it for the third time, and the future achievements will be much greater than ours." Oh, by the way, the 'head of the country' also has a third chance to enter the book mountain. ”

"The head of the country?" Fang Yun vaguely knew, but didn't know much about it.

"Above the champion is the head of the country and the head of the literati of the ten countries. There are champions every year, but not necessarily the heads of state. Back then......" Fang Shouye's face suddenly darkened, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The name of the head of the country is too rare to say. What you have to do this year is to study hard and take the Xiucai exam next year. ”

Fang Yundao: "I'm going to take the Xiucai exam this year." ”

"Oh, your words and poems may be remarkable, but you haven't learned the scriptures yet, right?

"I can't say I have confidence, so let's give it a try. ”

"It's okay, when the time comes, you will naturally know that Daoxiu is not so easy to test. Fang Shouye had something to say, and then said, "You don't have any livelihood, before you were admitted to Xiucai, you taught Mengxue in the clan study of the Dayuan Fang family and enlightened the children of the Fang clan. Twenty taels of silver a month, how?"

"Uncle, will you give too much?" Fang Yun asked.

Fang Yusheng on the side was silent, he was a showman, he taught Tongsheng in the county academy, and his income was only five taels of silver a month, Fang Yun was just a child, and he could get twenty taels by teaching children, he was really more popular than people.

"The double armor case that broke the Jingguo wilderness is worth this price first. Fang Shouye said.

"That nephew thanked my uncle, I will try to deal with the affairs here within ten days, and then go to Fucheng. Fang Yunzhi said that this was Fang Shouye's kindness, as long as he was a gentleman in the Fang clan study, the Liu family or others had to consider the consequences if they wanted to move him, which was a kind of protection in disguise.

"Okay, you don't think about it anymore?" Fang Shouye stood up and said, glancing at the two boxes of treasures that could not be sent away.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "As far as I know, although there are few children in the Holy Front, not everyone has such high achievements, and a child can only make contributions when he grows to Jinshi, it may take twenty or thirty years, why does my uncle value me so much?"

Fang Shouye touched his bearded chin with his hand and said, "First, your song "Twilight" is well written, and scolding Liu Shan makes me very happy. As for the second, if you can make a 'hand-me-down' war poem or war poem, not to mention a mere 20,000 taels, even 200,000 taels of silver are worth it. ”

Only then did Fang Yun understand.

Only a small part of the poems and essays are talented.

Only a small part of the talented poems and texts can attract the vitality of heaven and earth.

Only a small part of the poems that can attract the vitality of heaven and earth are war poems and war words, which have the effect of killing the enemy.

And only a very small part of the war poems and war words can be taught to others and let others master them, becoming "hand-me-down" war poems and war words.

Chen Guanhai, the semi-saint of Jingguo, has been canonized for more than 100 years, and he has made countless poems and essays, but there are only two war poems and war words that can be handed down.

A demi-saint can block a million divisions, but he can't teach everyone to be able to block a million divisions.

"I see. Fang Yundao.

Fang Shouye said: "It's a pity that the development of poetry in the past was too slow. Because there is a thousand-year-old covenant of no war, although the human race fights internally, there is no crisis outside, and the minds of the saints are still on the 'holy way', and they attach great importance to the scriptures and righteousness, and even think that even governing the country is a small way, not to mention the word endowment. The demi-saints all want to go one step further to become sub-saints and even saints, to become the second Confucian saints. It wasn't until the expiration of the thousand-year covenant that the demon barbarians repeatedly invaded the ten countries of our human race, and the saints realized that something was wrong, the half-saints were not afraid of the demon saints, but the people under the half-saints, especially the people under the jinshi, lacked enough power to kill the enemy. ”

Fang Yun knew this history, and said: "So I found that war poems and war words are the key to defending against the enemy, so I adjusted the imperial examination, so the style of the Ten Kingdoms has changed greatly?"

"Yes, extremely. You have done good poetry at a young age, and you have a righteous heart, which is what our military needs most. As a soldier, I hope you join our military, but as an uncle, I hope you will be better off in the first department of the Academy of Liberal Arts and add a bachelor to our family. Fang Shouye patted Fang Yun's shoulder, turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Yun immediately said: "Uncle stay, I have something to discuss." I'm going to open a bookstore to sell my poems and some novels, I wonder if my uncle is interested in buying shares?"

"Oh, how much is a share?" Fang Shouye asked.

"Uncle has helped me a lot, so I will only need one-tenth of the price, one thousand taels per share. Fang Yundao.

"Do you think I'm like a big wrongdoer? Renting a shop plus all kinds of expenses can't cost five hundred taels a year, and you dare to ask for one thousand taels for one share?" Fang Shouye said with wide eyes.

The people on the side also looked at Fang Yun in surprise, and even Yang Yuhuan felt inexplicable, this asking price was too high.

"Can that uncle lend me a thousand taels, and I will repay you two thousand taels before the Chinese New Year this year, but you have to tell the outside world that the Fang family has invested in my bookstore. Fang Yundao.

"You're a thief. Fang Shouye said with a smile, he realized that Fang Yun was afraid that the bookstore would be obstructed by others, so he had to use the banner of the Dayuan Fang family, and the brand of the famous door could block countless hidden arrows.

Fang Yun did not refute, although he wanted to use the strength of the Fang family of Dayuan Mansion, but mainly wanted to thank Fang Shouye for his maintenance, there was a world of strange books, he believed that his bookstore would be rich and rich, and the name of the text would spread quickly, the latter was the most important.

"Then uncle is willing to lend me?" Fang Yun asked.

"Don't borrow! I'll pay 5,000 taels to buy your five shares! I'll take half of it!" Fang Shouye said.

"I'm sorry, but I only sell one share, not more. Fang Yun thought to himself that he was worthy of being an old fox.

"What about the three shares?"

"Not for sale!"

"Two shares won't work?"

"No, I can't. Fang Yun was not polite at all.

"Then one share, I want to see what you can do!" Fang Shouye immediately counted out a silver ticket of one thousand taels, put it on the table, and then turned to leave, and the other two took the box away.

Fang transported Fang Shouye, went back to the house and picked up the silver ticket on the table, thinking that the start-up capital was available.

Yang Yuhuan asked curiously: "Xiaoyun, do you really want to open a bookstore?" There are many bookstores in the city, but most of them are time-honored, and it is difficult for new bookstores to survive.

"With you, you are the proprietress of the bookstore, and when I teach you literacy and arithmetic, you can help me run the bookstore. ”

Yang Yuhuan's white face flew a faint red glow, his eyebrows were full of spring, and he said shyly: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Fang Yun said: "I don't have time, but Liang Yuan has time." He didn't get into the Tongsheng exam this time, so he could only run a rice shop, but he didn't like it, and if I hired him to help me take care of the bookstore, he would definitely like it, after all, he was in charge of the bookstore and he still had the opportunity to study and participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Liang Yuan and his wife are good. Yang Yuhuan nodded.

Fang Yun said again: "You go around these days, find an honest and reliable woman, and take it to Dayuan Mansion to help with housework." I tried to find a reliable young man in the clan and bring him to Dayuan Mansion as a long-term follower. ”

"Well, I know. You're about to go to the temple, so let's go. Yang Yuhuan said.

"Good. ”

Fang Yun said and put the 1,000 taels of silver tickets in Yang Yuhuan's hand, and said, "You put the money away and wait until Dayuan Mansion opens a bookstore." ”

"Hmm. Yang Yuhuan suddenly became excited, in the past, she made money to support Fang Yun, and she didn't care about the money, but now Fang Yun has a lot of money and gives her all the money, which makes her feel that Fang Yun really regards her as a wife in her heart.

As soon as Fang Yun walked out of the door, he happened to see four classmates walking here, Ge Xiaomao excitedly stretched out his hand to greet him: "We were looking for you." ”

Fang Yun walked over and went to the Academy of Literature with the four of them.

The four of them met at the wine table yesterday, but they didn't have time to talk because of the noise, and now it's the first time they've talked since the official release of the list, so everyone is very excited.

"Fang Yun, I didn't expect you to hide it deeply, you are really a model for my generation!" Lu Lin praised loudly, although his child ranking was lower than Fang Yun, he did not have the slightest jealousy, but was happy for his classmates in his heart.

"Lu Lin, you are also a child, congratulations. Fang Yun smiled.

"You two don't brag about it, don't you think about our feelings?" Ge Xiaomao half-joked childishly.

Lu Zhan said: "I feel very good! Fang Yun is so good, completely beat the arrogance of Zhongyong below, what kind of prodigy is he, you are a prodigy! Shuangjia, even Chen Sheng has not been able to do it, maybe you can become a half-saint in the future! I don't believe that Fang Zhongyong can compare." ”

Although Liang Yuan was happy for Fang Yun, his mood was a little low.

At this time, a passer-by took the initiative to say hello to Fang Yun, and Fang Yun immediately politely thanked him.
