Henglin Book Company was born in the last years of Zhengde.

Because the Fei family did not cooperate with King Ning's rebellion, the ancestral grave was dug up and the ancestral house was burned.

At that time, there was only Hanzhu Private School, and there was no Hanzhu Academy, and the Fei family's collection of books was placed on the side of the ancestral house, and it was also burned down by a fire.

Fei Hong, who was at home, personally came forward to set up a bookstore, purchased imperial examination materials from Nanzhi and Zhejiang, and specially printed teaching and auxiliary books for his children to study.

Over the past 100 years, Henglin Book Company has developed and grown, publishing more and more content, mainly operating three types: teaching aids, anthologies, and opera scripts.

In the last years of Wanli, he even began to secretly print pornographic novels......

"Just carve a few broken sentence symbols, you add too much money, right?" Zhao Han was very unhappy.

Fei Yu, the shopkeeper of the bookstore, said with a smile: "Only a few carvings? One article is dozens! ”

Zhao Han pointed to the two manuscript papers on the table and began to reason seriously: "Shopkeeper Fei, let's talk with our conscience." Is it easy to read only sentence breaks, or is it easy to read with commas and colons? ”

"It's all convenient." Fei Yu said.

"The same novel, two kinds of sentence break symbols, which one would you like to buy?" Zhao Han asked.

Fei Yu said ambiguously: "It's all right." ”

Zhao Han laughed angrily: "That's good, you are not the only bookstore in Lead Mountain, I will take it to another bookstore." After the book is printed, the movable type of the sentence break is retained, and other books can be printed. ”

Fei Yu stretched out his hand to stop: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, you should talk about business slowly, how can you finish a few words?" ”

"I shouldn't pay for the new sentence breakers and carved movable type," Zhao Han insisted, "I can talk about it, and I can't talk about it in one shot or two." ”

Fei Yu saw that he couldn't bargain, so he smiled and said, "Okay, don't charge any other money." ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the publishing industry was extremely prosperous, and in addition to the progress of printing technology, there was also the thorough formation of "Song Ti characters".

Songti characters, in fact, should be called printing, especially suitable for movable type printing.

In Nanjing, there is even a color overprint technology, which can print several colors on the same page, and can also be accompanied by illustrations, which can be overprinted at one time.

Printed materials in the late Ming Dynasty, especially popular books, basically have sentence break symbols.

There is only one black dot, which is both a comma and a full stop.

Zhao Han did not ask for much punctuation, just commas, periods, colons, and quotation marks, striving to make it more convenient for the bottom public to read books.

Another half a month has passed, and the first issue of "Goose Lake Magazine" has finally been completed.

……

Chongzhen five years, the first day of October.

Prosperous Building.

Fei Yuanlu took a Confucian scholar to choose a private room on the second floor, and said with a smile: "Long Ru, you are new to the city, and I will take you to taste the new dishes of Lead Mountain." ”

"Let the mountain chief break the bank." Zheng Zhongkui arched his hand.

Zheng Zhongkui, the word dragon is like a man, and he is a rao person. Since childhood, he was raised by his brother.

Although this gentleman can't even take the exam, he is known as "a peerless talent, erudite and knowledgeable", and has published books such as "Qingyan", "Ear Xin", "Occasional Records", and "Jun District".

"Qingyan" is also known as "Lan Wanju Qingyan", which can be called the Ming Dynasty version of "Shishuo Xinyu".

The rest of the books are mostly essay novels, covering politics, economics, ethnicity, diplomacy, literature, art, and customs. Historically, "Occasional Records" and "Jun District" were also listed as banned books by Qianlong.

In the past few years, Fei Yuanlu has been renovating the academy, which has greatly changed the style of study in Hanzhushan.

He also invited famous teachers to teach, Zheng Zhongkui was already the third, and he wrote more than ten letters and finally invited him.

Drinks and food are served.

Fei Yuanlu introduced: "This is red oil chicken, fresh and spicy and refreshing. This is the elbow of the eastern slope, fat but not greasy. They are all new products of Dingsheng Building, and Long Ru will taste them. ”

Zheng Zhongkui took a piece of elbow meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and immediately admired: "This is a treasure in the world!" ”

Fei Yuanlu pushed open the window by the aisle and said with a smile: "Dingshenglou has changed an opera troupe, and the Yiyang dialect is a must, Long Ru can enjoy the food, and then use that opera to accompany the wine." ”

"The mountain chief is so hospitable, I am really ashamed to be a late student." Zheng Zhongkui hurriedly said.

Fei Yuanlu said: "Long Rucai is famous, who doesn't know Guangxin Mansion?" I hope that the academic affairs of the college will be more troublesome. ”

"Do your best." Zheng Zhongkui responded.

Suddenly, Fei Chun's voice came from outside: "Quiet, quiet, before today's troupe starts, I will tell a legendary story." ”

"Don't listen to the story, let the troupe go on stage!"

"Who are you? The hair hasn't grown, hurry up and go home to feed! ”

"Get out, get out!"

“……”

Fei Yuanlu immediately closed the window, and immediately most of the noise dissipated, and said with a smile: "Eat vegetables, don't worry about him." ”

At this moment, Fei Chun was standing on the stage, holding a big horn with a paper tube in his hand, and he couldn't speak at all with embarrassment.

Zhao Han could only come to the stage by himself, snatched the horn and said: "Hey, hey, hey......"

The diners found that there was another person, and the noise became slightly quieter, and they were all curious about what Zhao Han wanted to do.

Zhao Han took the opportunity to shout: "Red oil chicken, Dongpo elbow, are all ancestral dishes." Tell me, are these two dishes delicious? ”

"Delicious!"

"Yo, dare to love is the little master in the kitchen."

"Is your ancestor an imperial chef?"

“……”

The topic changed instantly, and it was all about eating.

Zhao Han held the loudspeaker and continued to shout: "Everyone be quiet, listen to the story well, and you can eat the third new dish tomorrow." Good no good? ”

"Good!"

Many diners laughed in unison.

Zhao Han handed the loudspeaker to Fei Chun: "Let's start." ”

After all, Fei Chun is a halfway monk, and his voice has not been practiced, and he must use a loudspeaker to tell stories on large occasions. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "This story happened during the reign of Song Ningzong. But he said that by the Qiantang River, there is a Niujia village......"

Gradually, the noise became less and less, and the diners were immersed in it.

Some people even finished eating, but refused to leave, and continued to sit there and listen to the story.

Speaking of the killing of people in the Song State by the Jin State, and the officers and soldiers of the Song State actually helped, the audience was full of righteous indignation, slapping the table and scolding the Emperor of the Song State for being a faint monarch.

Speaking of Qiu Chuji's killing of corrupt officials and killing those Jin generals, the audience applauded again.

Then, Fei Chun said: "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown!" ”

"What else?"

"Won't talk about it?"

"Little brother, one more time!"

“……”

Nima, this disconnection is simply lacking in virtue.

After the two loyal and righteous soldiers, one was killed by Jin Bing, and the other was unknown in his life and death. Their wives were pregnant again, and one of them seemed to have been saved, but who saved her? What about the remaining one, and will the child be saved?

Stop abruptly, don't do anything!

Fei Chun took out a copy of "Goose Lake Magazine" and said with a smile: "If you want to know the future generations, you can also buy this book, and each book only costs one penny (0.01 taels of silver)." ”

During the Zhengde and Jiajing periods, due to the imperfection of movable type printing, the price of books at that time was very expensive, and a set of "Li Shangyin's Poetry Collection" was worth 4 taels of silver.

During the Wanli period, it dropped a lot, and a set of "Romance of the Gods" was worth 2 taels of silver.

During the period of Tianqi and Chongzhen, printing technology was more developed, and there were more and more publishing houses, and the price of books continued to decline.

The paper used in Zhao Han's "Goose Lake Magazine" is relatively cheap, and it is close to the origin of papermaking, so it can be said that it is sold very cheaply...... Well, to put it more bluntly, it's about the same as a pound of chicken.

Those who can eat in the heyday building are not short of that pound of chicken money.

Although I was disgruntled, I still wanted to know the follow-up, and more than a dozen people bought the magazine on the spot.

Then, scolding......

They bought novels to see, and after they got their hands on them, only a third of them belonged to novels, and what the hell was there in front of them?

"Refund the money!"

"Refund the money!"

Zhao Han rushed to the stage and yelled fiercer than consumers: "Whoever screams again, Lao Tzu will not write down, and there will be no new dishes in the future!" ”

Everyone was speechless for a moment, ignored the previous content, and directly turned to the back to read the novel.

There are also guys from the restaurant, serving food to the private room on the second floor, all carrying a magazine in their arms.

A guy came into the house to refill the wine and asked, "Master Fei, this gentleman, is he interested in buying the magazine?" Poetry and prose, opera novels, everything, very good-looking. ”

"Let's take a look." Zheng Zhongkui smiled.

The guy hurriedly handed over the "Goose Lake Magazine", Zheng Zhongkui did not give money immediately, but opened it first to browse one or two.

There is no founding word on the title page, and it is directly the table of contents of this issue.

The first section "Zhao Zi Said", the author Zhao Zi said, the title of the article: "People in the world are born equal".

Zheng Zhongkui's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly flipped through the text:

“…… First, men and women are equal...... Second, all industries are equal...... Third, the good and the poor are equal......"
