[009] A gentleman has three immortals
Zhou Chengming's system, the national policy of the Great Zhou, is still to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
Shinong industry and commerce, merchants ranked last.
Although the status of merchants improved after Emperor Chongrui's succession, the way of merchants was still regarded as a sideline.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high, and only the imperial examination is the right way.
Moreover, if you have business experience, you will be affected to a certain extent when you take the scientific report examination and political examination.
Therefore, Jia Chen will not engage in business before the title of the gold list.
So how do you make money?
Jia Chen thought hard for a long time, and suddenly, a sentence came out of his mind:
"A gentleman has three immortals: virtue, meritorious service, and speech."
Among them, "Liyan" refers to the article with insightful and insightful, which is broadcast in the present day and recorded in the annals of history, and promoted to future generations.
Jia Chen's eyes lit up, he could write a book and talk about making money!
In the Great Zhou, writing is a great achievement that will last through the ages.
So, what should I write?
In the midst of his thoughts, Jia Chen remembered the four books "Disciple Rules", "The Four Disciplines of Liaofan", "Fireside Night Talk" and "Caigen Tan".
These books have not yet been published, but they can be copied and sold.
Although writing books to make money is also a businessman's way, it is by no means a businessman's cheap business, not only does it not lose its dignity and is respected, but it can even be famous and famous.
At the time of the scientific examination and political examination, not only will it not be affected, but it will also become a plus point, so that the examiner can take a high look.
In his previous life, Jia Chen had read four books: "Di Zi Gui", "The Four Disciplines of Liaofan", "Night Talk Around the Fireplace" and "Caigen Tan".
Strange to say, he can not only remember it now, but also recall all the books he read in his previous life.
The reason why I chose to transcribe these four books is because in the Great Zhou, there were only a few books for children to read for children, such as "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Texts".
The "Disciple Rules" can be used as an effective supplement to the Mongolian readings.
The book is divided into five parts, the first chapter of the "general narrative" will be Confucius's words, adapted into three words, the text is divided into "into filial piety, out of the heart", "cautious and faithful", "pan love for the public, and kindness", "if there is spare strength, then to learn the text" a total of four parts, and carried out a specific, popular interpretation.
It mainly lists the etiquette norms that should be used for people at home, when they go out, when they treat people, receive things, behave in the world, and study.
This book is in line with the Great Zhou Etiquette Law, and if it is published, it will be widely popular.
Of course, this book contains a lot of feudal dross, but at this time and then, the Great Zhou was still in a feudal society, and this book catered to the mainstream values of the Great Zhou.
Jia Chen deleted some pedantic and paranoid erroneous ideas in the book, but did not add overly radical ideological content.
If you criticize the feudal ideas of the Great Zhou Dynasty with sharp writing, it will not only fail to make the book sell well, but will also cause death.
In the future, if we can change the dynasty, we will reform our thinking and break the old and establish the new.
In addition to "Di Zi Gui", the other three books have deep meanings, suitable for all ages, and will inevitably sell well in the world.
Thinking of this, Jia Chen immediately spread out the paper and ink, and began to copy the "Disciple Rules".
This book has a total of 1,080 words, and Jia Chen's pen is flying, and it only took less than half a pillar of incense to write it all.
Due to the small word count, it's more of an article than a book.
It is estimated that if the engraving is sold, it will not be able to buy much money for each copy.
But Jia Chen didn't expect this "Disciple Rules" to make money, but used it to throw stones and ask for directions.
After opening up the market and enhancing his popularity, he took out three books in turn: "The Four Disciplines of Lifan", "Fireside Night Talk" and "Caigen Tan".
"I hope that this "Disciple Rules" can make me famous at a young age, and if I can become famous, the price of writing a book in the future will definitely be expensive.
I can not only write these four books, but also Jin Gu Liang Wen's martial arts classics, as well as those popular web novels in my previous life.
In this era of lack of entertainment, if these novels can be published, they will inevitably become popular all over the country and sell well overseas.
At that time, I will definitely be able to make money every day, and even be rich enough to rival the country! ”
The corners of Jia Chen's lips are slightly raised, he has seen too many ups and downs, experienced several ups and downs, and has long been pampered and humiliated.
Faced with the possibility of obtaining huge wealth, he was only excited for a moment, and then his heart was like a peaceful lake, calm and relaxed, and he was at ease.
Now, there is another problem in front of us, "Disciple Rules" has been written, but where to raise money for engraving? And how do you sell it?
At present, Jia Chen is poor and white, and has neither money nor channels to print books.
In the midst of his thoughts, he suddenly came up with a good idea.
In the early morning of the next day, Jia Chen, as usual, rushed to the Jiafu School with a bag on his back.
Before Jia Chen could greet Jia Dairu, Jia Dairu smiled kindly:
"Chen'er, are you here, have you had breakfast?"
Facing Jia Dairu's somewhat sensible smiling face, Jia Chen smiled:
"Back to my grandfather, I've already had breakfast."
The smile on Jia Dairu's face became even bigger, and he said earnestly:
"That's good, now is the time when you are young and strong-mouthed, you must eat well."
"Thank you for your concern!" Jia Chen looked at his smiling face that was wrinkled into walnuts, and he had a faint toothache, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Seeing this unprecedented scene, the students were stunned and dreamed.
You must know that Jia Dairu always put on a high-minded and strict posture before, and he never took the initiative to greet any student.
Did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you so enthusiastic with Jia Chen all of a sudden?
Many students suspect that Jia Dairu is old and confused, or that his spirit has been stimulated by something, so that he is so abnormal.
After the students were seated, Jia Dairu read a passage from the Analects.
When his gaze fell on Jia Chen's body, a smile appeared on his old face again:
"Chen'er, although you have memorized all the Analects, do you know the meaning of each paragraph?"
Jia Chen replied without humility or arrogance:
"The sage is subtle, concise and to the point, every sentence is profound and obscure, and I can only peek at the corner of it, a little through the skin."
Hearing this, some of the students sneered, some sneered, and joked that Jia Chen said a lot of nonsense, which actually means that he doesn't understand the words of the sage, and will only memorize by rote.
However, just when they were feeling disdain and gloating, they heard Jia Chen's words suddenly change:
"Although the words of the sage are unfathomable, I have already glimpsed some of the mysteries, please ask Mr. to take the test at will."
As soon as these words came out, the students were stunned and looked at Jia Chen with questioning and surprised eyes.
Jia Baoyu pouted, he had always hated the imperial examination, and naturally he didn't bother to listen to these sage articles.
Diametrically opposed to him, Jia Yan and Jia Lan wanted to participate in the scientific examination, and yesterday Jia Chen proved that he could memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, which shocked them both.
Unexpectedly, today Jia Chen claimed that he had comprehended the connotation of the sage's words, which made Jia Yan and Jia Lan shocked and suspicious, unbelievable, and unwilling to believe it.
Jia Dairu was also a little skeptical, but he expected that what Jia Chen said was true, so he asked expectantly:
"Courage is commendable, then I will test you.
Zi said: "A gentleman has no food to eat, no shelter to seek peace, is sensitive to things and cautious in words, has the way and is right, and can be said to be studious."
What does this mean? ”
