Han Fei and Li Si were humble.

Ji Yanran said: "I heard that the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" compiled by Lu Xiangye and his disciples is a huge work for studying the way to govern the country. Mr. Li Si is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know if you can understand this "Lu's Spring and Autumn"? ”

Li Sidao: "I also assisted in the compilation of "Lü's Spring and Autumn". He smiled embarrassedly as he spoke, and then said, "It's an exaggeration to say that such a nobody is going to help." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Don't be modest, you don't do a good job of my left-hand minister, it's much better than what I did myself." ”

Li Si bowed and said: "If it weren't for the support of Zuo Xiang, how could Li Si be today." ”

Li Si is naturally grateful to Xiang Shaolong, he is lonely and nameless in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and somehow he has entered Xiang Shaolong's eyes, and now he can actually exercise the power of the left minister on behalf of Xiang Shaolong, and he has also entered Qin Jun's sight.

Xiang Shaolong said: "You have great talent, without me, others will find out, and it is impossible to bury it forever." Your ability has been valued by the king, and you can't always do things for me, it's only a matter of time before you become famous all over the world. ”

Qin Qing said with a smile: "Mr. Li Si's talent can be discovered by the husband, and it is also the husband's ability. If you want me to say that the husband is still capable. ”

Xiang Shaolong was very happy when he heard Qin Qing praise him, and said: "There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses, and thousands of horses are often there, but Bole is not often." If you say that, then I'm really a little bit better. Seeing his triumphant appearance, everyone laughed too.

Ji Yanran said with a smile: "Don't thank you for coming and thanking, let's listen to Mr. Li Si's introduction to "Lu's Spring and Autumn". ”

Li Sidao: ""Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" is mainly a collection of the essence of the predecessors, putting forward the idea of 'law and heaven and earth', that is, only by conforming to the natural nature of heaven and earth can we achieve the great rule of the world, and the so-called monarchs and ministers go their own way and do not involve each other. For the way of the king, it is necessary to govern the country with benevolence and virtue, reflect from time to time, seek and use virtue, correct the name and judge the score, and finally achieve the ideal of ruling by inaction. Based on the rule of Taoist inaction, in line with the value scale of Confucianism, the implementation of benevolent government. ”

Ji Yanran said: "General Xiang must disagree with his point of view?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Let's not talk about whether his views are right or wrong, the Qin State is based on the law and advocates martial arts, how can his theory be implemented in the Qin State." ”

Han Fei said: "People... Human nature is... Evil, rule by virtue... Only... Be... It's ideal. ”

Xiang Shaolong also stammered when he saw Han Fei's short words, and really wanted to prepare him with pen and paper, thinking that it was better for him to write a book.

Ji Yanran said: "The general has always had the same opinion as Mr. Han Gongzi and Mr. Li. It's just that the superior person grabs power and oppresses the people, as the general said, 'the king breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people', how can it be done? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "That's just an ideal state of restricting rights, the direction of progress." The abuse of power is also due to the inherent evil of human nature. Rights should be put into the cage of the system, rights will corrupt people, and absolute rights will only make people absolutely corrupt. ”

"Absolute rights will only corrupt people absolutely", this sentence describes rights to the point, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, deafening. The crowd fell into deep thought.

Xiang Shaolong looked at it and said with a smile: "Miss Ji, don't promote these rebellious words for me anymore, it will make me in trouble." Han Gongzi is a real famous man, and he has a deep study of the way to govern the country, and I am intending to invite Han Gongzi to enter the court, and with Han Gongzi's great talent, he will be reused, but I don't know what Han Gongzi wants? ”

Everyone looked at Han Fei, especially Li Si. Li Si has great ambitions, but his heart is not broad-minded, he knows Han Fei's talent very well, and is jealous of his ability, which led to him poisoning Han Fei to death in prison in the end.

Han Fei said: "Now it's dead... Subjugation... of people, and the Father... Father and Father... The room is Xianyang... For... For the sake of quality, I... Or Ann... Quiet... Heart... Heart-to-heart... Person... Hostage it. ”

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, there was a recommendation from Xiang Shaolong, if Han Fei was willing to become a leader, he would definitely be able to soar. He is from the same class as him, his governing philosophy is similar, his talent is higher than his own, and he is afraid that he will have nothing to do with himself in the future.

Qin Qing and Ji Yanran are very sympathetic to Han Fei, but this is the case with national events, and Ji Yanran herself is a remnant of the Yue Kingdom, and she empathizes with her.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Since this is the case, I won't force Han Gongzi." Moreover, the officialdom is complicated, and Han Gongzi may not be able to adapt to it. Then let's study with peace of mind. I have just developed a small invention, called printing, which, with the current application of paper, can reproduce books in large quantities, which is conducive to the dissemination of books. Childe does more articles, and I will spread Childe's masterpieces all over the world. ”

The crowd was busy asking what "printing" was. Xiang Shaolong explained in detail "engraving printing and movable type printing", which made Han Fei very excited. This technology can make people like Han Fei who write books and speak more well-known, which is really a celebrity for eternity!

And the second daughter looked at Xiang Shaolong with a look of admiration, the contribution of this technology to civilization is immeasurable.

Xiang Shaolong looked at the second daughter with admiring eyes for him, and finally felt that he had won back a city in front of Han Fei.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Qing'er, if you set up a printing house in the future, you will be in charge of this printing house." ”

Qin Qing is naturally willing. This kind of thing that has to do with culture is very attractive to literati. They don't lack money, they just have a good reputation.

Ji Yanran asked, "I don't know if Yanran has the honor to participate in it?" ”

Xiang Shaolong looked at it, didn't she plan to go back to Wei? didn't ask the words of "when will I return to Wei", and said: "It's my honor to have the help of Ji Cainu." ”

Qin Qing glanced at Ji Yanran, and then at Xiang Shaolong, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Xiang Shaolong said to Han Fei and Li Si: "The two of you go back to sort out your masterpieces and open my printing house, and the works of the two will be published first." Earn money, give two commissions. ”

Everyone didn't understand what he said, how could they make money?

Xiang Shaolong explained: "My printing house should have works to publish, you provide the works, I take them out to sell, make money, remove the cost, take out a part of the profits, and give you the author, it is also natural." ”

Xiang Shaolong's words blinded everyone. These people are from noble backgrounds, they are not short of money, they want to make a name for themselves and help themselves spread their works, and it is too late for them to be grateful, how can they ask for money?

In this era, knowledge is monopolized by aristocrats and families, they never thought of making a profit from knowledge, and they also look down on Xiang Shaolong's businessman behavior, and he still needs money to write articles, isn't this ruining his reputation? Not only does he not want money, but Xiang Shaolong can't take the book out to sell, he has to give it away for nothing.

No matter how Xiang Shaolong explained, Han Fei and Li Si were also resolutely opposed to asking for money. It seems impossible to count on these aristocratic intellectuals to develop the publishing industry. I haven't said anything about copyright and intellectual property rights, and I won't let their heads go down if I say it.

Seeing their deep contempt for their behavior, Xiang Shaolong also felt funny.

Xiang Shaolong also knows that there are a few literate people in this era, who will buy them if they sell their works for money? I can't afford to pay the wages of the workers, and now I am engaged in the publishing industry, just to lose money and make money, and I am just happy to do it, and as soon as I mention the money, I will receive a critical attack of 100,000 points.

Seeing that Qin Qing and Ji Yanran looked full of interest, they were afraid that losing money would not stop their enthusiasm, maybe this printing house could bankrupt themselves.

Xiang Shaolong himself is now interested in being a copyist and publishing some works for later generations. If you don't publish some popular and easy-to-sell books, relying on these high-quality and low-ranking works, I'm afraid that you won't be able to last long.

Qin Qing was a vigorous and resolute person, and immediately invested a lot of manpower and material resources to set up a printing factory. Ji Yanran is busy with the front and back, and she really spends money like running water! Xiang Shaolong suddenly felt that he had a bad idea.

The pre-Qin period was an era of the big bang of thought, a hundred schools of thought were in full swing, a hundred schools of thought contended, and the splendid articles did not know how many, although there was no need for publishing royalties, but there were also few readers, and few people bought them when they were printed. Should I suggest that Qin Jun first implement compulsory education, popularize culture, and add some customers to himself, otherwise the future of his printing house is worrying!

Xiang Shaolong can only think about it, the people in power in this era like to implement the policy of ignoring the people, if he proposes to popularize culture, he will oppose the aristocracy and the family, and he will be crushed by the times.

Xiang Shaolong felt that he had suffered too much, and told Qin Qing not to print too much of each book, and at the same time mark "Producer: Qin Qing" below the cover author.

Qin Qing's eyes were about to smile like peach blossoms when she heard that she was going to mark her name on the cover of every book.

Qin Qing said: "I will also print the name of my husband." ”

Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said, "I forget it, I'm not a literati, and I don't want to be famous." ”

He is now in a high position and does not need this kind of false name, he is not a standard intellectual, and he is not very able to understand their obsession with leaving a name in history. If it weren't for the fact that it was really painful to see the printing house lose money, he wouldn't have thought about letting Qin Qing leave his name. ”

Qin Qing said: "Then sign the name of Sister Yanran." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Okay." ”

Qin Qing said: "In this way, Sister Yanran may marry into your general's mansion in a short time." ”

Xiang Shaolong's old face turned red, but he just laughed dryly.

Qin glanced at him innocently, and went to work on her publishing business again.

She is now going out early and returning late, tired and happy, and even Xiang Shaolong has no time to pay attention.

Xiang Shaolong saw that she was busy and happy, and he could only comfort himself: "If you lose some money, you can lose some money, it's rare that Qing'er likes this career so much." ”

Xiang Shaolong asked himself: "Isn't it to make a lot of money to make a successful career?" How did she make losing money a career? ”

King Qin also heard that Qin Qing was busy with publishing, so he summoned Xiang Shaolong and asked, "Shaolong, what is the situation of the printing house that Qin Taifu has run recently?" It's Shaolong's new idea again. ”
