"Quick! Hurry up and find out the Renwu book, and immediately find someone to hand engrave it. ”

In a bookstore in the capital, the shopkeeper was busy commanding.

"The shopkeeper, if you want to print it, it's also printed on the "Ming Pao", right?"

"That's the Royal Edition! Who dares to print privately? Besides, it only renews once in half a month, how to print it? It's just that since Your Majesty has spoken, the reader can't wait, and he will definitely look for Ren Wuben to read! ”

The bookstore shopkeeper has found a business opportunity, and the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will definitely start to be marketed to the world.

This is a tome, a full twenty-four volumes, how much can a set earn? But now that there is Chrysostom Yuyan, at least people in the world who want to be officials will have a set!

Obedient......

Merchants in the capital's book and periodical industry have been restless in recent months, and the establishment of Ming Pao has put great pressure on them. With the advent of simplified characters and new styles of arrangement, I don't know if it will become a strict rule.

The "Jiajing Dictionary" has not yet allowed them to print it privately.

With the emperor, who would dare to take risks?

Now, the Emperor has finally brought them a big opportunity. You don't have to think about the imperial version, but the Renwu book, which has been around for a few years, can always be printed, right?

This shopkeeper is aimed at people who are scholars and want to be officials.

But there are still people, but the target is just ordinary people.

Outside Chongwen Gate, a new business district has been formed due to the development of Beijing.

Because this gate is a gate for foreign merchants to sell goods into the city to collect taxes, it is also a very lively bazaar like a few miles east of Chaoyang Gate, which has been planned as a light industry park.

Here, there are many shops and many tea shops in the hotel.

Today, at the door of a teahouse, a sign was hung: Meijiamen Ma said Three Kingdoms facing north.

There was also a running hall shouting next to him: "Today, the shop specially invited Master Ma, the heir of the Mei family, to tell the story, which is about the Three Kingdoms of His Majesty's imperial version of the Ming Pao. Your Majesty has a decree, and all subjects in the world should read it. If you don't know how to read, you've heard about it! ”

The Emperor's words are the will. Since the emperor advocated it, how could the teahouse, which usually cooperated with storytellers, miss this outlet.

The teahouse is full of idlers, a bookcase on the stage, a piece of waking wood, a folding fan, and a handkerchief.

The storyteller looked to be in his forties, and after opening the folding fan with a "bang", the horse opened his mouth to the north: "A piece of waking wood is a career, and a fan is a career." The rivers, lakes and seas are home, and the waves are not afraid! Friends from the lake and the sea don't provide me, if you want to talk about the family. Ranked, the third generation of the Mei family's family is courteous to the north. Today, I will talk about the Three Kingdoms with the ranks, this is the text of today's Holy Imperial Approval, with the imperial poem as proof! ”

"Smack!" Wake up and shoot it, this is the opening of the book.

"Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water ......"

That horse can eat the storyteller's bowl of rice facing north, and his speech and tone are excellent. At this moment, he recited the poem "Linjiang Immortal", and then explained the meaning, and then said: "Your Majesty Chrysostom and Yuyan in "Ming Pao", these stories of the Three Kingdoms can distinguish loyalty and treachery, think about trade-offs, observe Taoism, know the pros and cons, and know the gains and losses. It doesn't matter if you can't recognize the words, from today onwards, I will talk about the Three Kingdoms. This time, there is a famous hall, called the three righteous heroes of Taoyuan, and the first meritorious service of the Yellow Turban heroes! Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be combined for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time......"

In the era of lack of entertainment life, dramas are not waiting for idlers to watch at any time, but most of these stories can still be listened to a few times.

And what is the creative lineup behind this royal version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

It's outrageous, when Zhu Houxi wanted to engage in this "Ming Pao", he had already asked the Academy of Literature and Art of Huangming University to prepare for this matter. The ones who are in charge are Wen Zhengming and Zhu Zhishan, plus some other "unintentional" official positions, intoxicated with poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting.

Zhu Houxi's imperial approval is value-oriented and a more popular story structure. Lin Xiyuan's proofreading is more about expression and evidence.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a creation of Hanlin Bachelors and well-known talents.

It can't be said that it must be more exciting than the most widely circulated version in Zhu Houxi's impression, but after all, it stands on the shoulders of the first version of the two hundred and forty chapters.

What's more, the song "Linjiang Immortal" exploded.

In the champion Curie opened by the Tongyi Bureau, Gong Yongqing's eyes were full of fanaticism: "With this word alone, Your Majesty's name will be famous for centuries!" Now, who else slanders that the new school is not from Your Majesty? ”

"Who's going to slander that? Brother Gong must not talk nonsense! ”

“…… Calculate the average score and rank next ......"

Different people have different concerns about the content of the same newspaper, and everyone has different thoughts at the moment.

Although the scope of admission has been expanded, the marking rules have changed, which means that some of the "teachers" and "seniors" that some people visit in advance will be greatly reduced.

"It's fairer!" Gong Yongqing was very idle, because after he made sure that the syllabus had not been changed and the new words were not tested, he was very confident in himself, "Everyone, I have been singing and harmonizing for many days, can I have such a masterpiece?" Your Majesty is a scholar of heaven and man, and he can be called an emperor through the ages! ”

Others are not critics who disagree with this poem, but there are still few people who can praise it as if they want to kneel and lick like Gong Yongqing.

But Gong Yongqing is handsome, enthusiastic and energetic at the moment, and he is indeed chic.

"I read this word, and when I read this first time, I was also very poetic, and you ...... a second comment."

Gong Yongqing looked at the smiling shopkeepers and employees of the Zhuangyuan Residence not far away, cleared his throat, and began to read the same song "Linjiang Immortal" that he spent a lot of time writing yesterday.

This post office is in the hands of His Majesty's newly sealed sincerity, and the shopkeeper looks at the young lifters with the same gaze as he chooses all day long, only afraid that there is another heavy responsibility.

Gong Yongqing shocked Fujian, and he was full of confidence in this high school.

But now that the list is five hundred, one and twenty-four, if you want to rise so fast like that Zhang Fujing, being that horse is the shortcut!

It's a pity that Lin Xiyuan has never seen anyone, and according to his family, it has been more than three months, and he has stayed in the editorial office of Ming Pao almost every night.

Gong Yongqing only felt that it was a great grace. The editorial office of Ming Pao Bank, that's within the palace walls! Although it is a previous dynasty, how kind of trust is that?

At this time in the palace, Zhu Houxi was looking at the outline of the next issue of content arrangement sent by Lin Xiyuan.

He looked at the emperor with a strange expression.

If it hadn't been confirmed with Dean Wen and them, he would have thought that the song "Linjiang Immortal" was probably who caught the knife.

So Your Majesty has this poetic talent, why is it never revealed on weekdays?

But Zhu Houxi is the emperor, and he doesn't need to explain anything to anyone.

Lin Xiyuan's strange point also included that the emperor was carefully looking at the manuscript that was sent to the Huangzhuang with Jin Kela, and it took more than ten days to write.

The manuscript, which was duly published, will be published on February 15, imparting the farming experience of the worshippers from the Faculty of Agriculture of the Imperial Ming University, and the manure skills of Najin Kela and the other dung merchants in the capital.

The emperor, who had just shocked the world's scholars with a wonderful poem, is now carefully reviewing how to farm and how to make fertilizer.

Is he trying to implicitly convey a tendency with his actual performance?

It's not that I'm not literate, I'm just more concerned about practice.

Zhu Houxi didn't know that he was thinking about this, and nodded again and again after reading it: "Very good!" Maozhen, this manuscript is very important! On the side of the Faculty of Engineering, after joining forces with Ming Pao, the new printing press made an improved version with gears, and then it was time to actually use it, and then collect the shortcomings to continue to improve. In addition to the Ming Pao, 20,000 copies of this manuscript should be printed separately. There are more than 1,000 counties in Daming, and this time we must send some to each county. After the transcription, each township must ask the chief to read this manuscript! ”

Lin Xiyuan was a little surprised.

They just do it, and naturally they don't do it, they just print it.

But the emperor's attention to this matter was still above his expectations.

The emperor did not persuade the peasants, but His Majesty's way of persuading the peasants was not to go to the imperial village to make a show, but to use this way.

"The minister understands, and the minister must tell the president to arrange it."

Zhu Houxi smiled and nodded: "You have also worked hard." Everything is difficult at the beginning, and starting in March, Ming Pao will not be so short of manpower. This year, there are 500 on the main list, 1,000 on the secondary list, and there are so many people who are worried that it will be difficult to get into the exam after three years, and they will try their best to find an official position this year. No matter what, Ming Pao is also a good one. Recruit some more lifters and even sub-list fellow jinshi, and you will be able to make it easier. ”

“…… The minister is young, and the minister can still bear it. ”

"You have been reluctant to give up day and night in the past few months, and you have contributed a lot." Zhu Houxi looked at him, "In this news of the announcement of the reward for the meritorious heroes of the trial implementation of the new law, add your own article." ”

Lin Xiyuan couldn't help but look up at the emperor in amazement.

Zhu Houxi looked at him deeply: "This "Ming Pao" is also an important aspect of the new law. If you do it well, there will be a day when you will stand on the court or even sit in the national policy hall in the future. Huang Jin. ”

"The slave is here."

"Lin Xiyuan has made meritorious contributions in preparing the publication of "Ming Pao", and his rank has been promoted to the fourth grade, and he has been awarded the doctor of the Central Committee and rewarded with 200 silver."

Lin Xiyuan was shocked, his eyes immediately moistened, and he knelt down: "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

is the fourth grade, if you are still in office, you can wear a red robe.

But the emperor also told him to do it well, and there will be no day in the future when he will stand in the court or even sit in the national policy hall.

After hearing the emperor tell him to get up, Lin Xiyuan looked at the emperor again, his eyes were bright.

Just when he was kneeling just now, Lin Xiyuan realized one point: the personnel selection of these eighteen enterprises is not under the jurisdiction of the ministry.

This means that although there is no official position, in the eighteen enterprises, the rank is only afraid that it will climb faster. Following the imperial study, there were more "fast tracks" in Daming.

And the emperor wants to include the news that he has been promoted and rewarded in the list of meritorious heroes of the trial implementation of the new law, which is to send a signal to the outside world: not to be an official, to work in these 18 enterprises, is also to make meritorious contributions to the new law.

In addition to the official office, these eighteen enterprises undertake the same important practical purposes in His Majesty's mind.

The emperor should use him as an example to encourage those who will soon participate in the examination, and those who are successful and those who are not successful do not have to focus only on the official positions that will appear with the implementation of the new law.

In February, some special people also rushed to the capital one after another.

These people, after arriving in the capital, divided into two directions.

Some people went to the west, where the Baiyun Temple, formerly known as the Changchun Temple, was the dojo built by Genghis Khan for the real existence of the Qiu Jiji, the ancestral court of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect. After the decay at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the reconstruction at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Baiyun Temple. This Baiyun Temple is really the first major sect of Taoism in the north.

The Dongyue Temple in the east was built by Kublai Khan. Is that the credit of the thirty-sixth generation Heavenly Master Zhang Zongyan of Longhu Mountain Zhengyi?

No, Genghis Khan was fighting with Jin in the northern Central Plains in the past, and Quanzhen Dao had great influence in the north; Kublai Khan wanted to stabilize Jiangnan in his hands, and he was having more influence in the south.

In the capital, the Quanzhen Dao and the Zheng are facing each other from east to west, and now the "masters" in the faction are gathered.

Without him, His Majesty is just looking for it.

The Dao Elders didn't know that the Emperor was looking for them in order to cooperate with another kind of Dao Leader to do something.

At this moment, these masters and Taoists who are "unintentionally worldly" are all using their limited political wisdom to think about the emperor's intention to find them.

There is no doubt that the new law is about to be implemented throughout the country, and the time has come for the Ming Dynasty to use all means to prevent chaos. In their opinion, there had been a rebellion just the year before last. Now that there is a prime minister, how will the emperor who is ordered by heaven suppress the cabinet chief assistant who has soared in power in the future?

Thousands of years of history have given them the experience: Rong and ritual.

Jingying, Your Majesty has practiced. But for the sacrificial rites, His Majesty is bound to have another force to rely on outside the Ministry of Rites.

"Be proficient in magic, so that I will surely overwhelm the True Path this time!"

In the Dongyue Temple, the prison here looked at his abbot excitedly, he was a little more vulgar.

That's right, in fact, the word abbot was originally an honorific title for the host of the Taoist Ten Directions Jungle Taoist Temple. Later, the abbot and the abbot were all in common.

There are many names of Taoist arts, which are roughly divided into internal refining and external refining. The internal alchemy technique is the Qi Technique, the Channeling Technique, the Vipassana Technique, the Outer Dan Technique, the Bigu Technique, the Room Technique, and so on; External alchemy techniques are talismans, forbidden spells, divination, prayers, fasting and so on.

The two factions are different.

The Quanzhen Dao is mainly based on the practice of "inner dan", not the outer dan. They are required not to get married, not to eat meat, to grow hair and beards, to wear Taoist robes every day to live and observe and practice, to understand the mind and to see nature, and to become immortals. In fact, it was heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism and Confucianism.

And Zhengyi is inherited from the ancient Fang Xiandao, Huang Lao Dao, also has the influence of Confucianism, Mo, folk martial arts, can not only cultivate at home, but also eat meat to get married, and at the same time to practice the outer Dan, attach importance to the talisman, pray for the atmosphere of Jiao is more grand.

Thinking about this "opportunity" here, the prison of Dongyue Temple feels that the north will also believe in the right in the future!

At this time, the abbot of Dongyue Temple asked a person who was quite immortal and looked like he was forty or fifty years old: "Brother Shao Dao, you are from Longhu Mountain, do you have any instructions from the Heavenly Master?" ”

The person he questioned was actually in his sixties, but his face was still ruddy, his hair was black, and he was indeed very good-looking.

This person's name is Shao Yuanjie.

"Let it be." Shao Yuanjie saluted to show respect, "The Heavenly Master sent the poor Dao to Beijing, and he only said two words: Qiandi. ”

The abbot's eyes lit up: "Brother Shao Dao went in and out of the Hidden Mansion in the past, and he was respected by Emperor Xingxian, and he wanted to come and see His Majesty?" ”

Shao Yuanjie smiled and said, "Your Majesty was still a young child at that time, how could you remember the poor road?" ”

The prison was even more excited: "It's a leading edge after all!" ”

Shao Yuanjie maintains his image, and he is actually very enthusiastic in his heart. He glanced at a young man beside him, and then said to the abbot, "This time, I also invited Tao Daoyou to accompany me. Tao Daoyou has always practiced in Luotian Wanyu Mountain, and his magic attainments are especially better than those of the poor Dao. ”

The person recommended by him was Tao Zhongwen, who was much younger and was just over forty years old now.

Compared with Shao Yuanjie, a descendant of Longhu Mountain, Tao Zhongwen seems to be a "loose cultivator", at this time, he hurriedly became modest, and then saluted and asked the Taoist brothers about their "immortality".

Although the people in the Daomen say that they are indifferent to fame and fortune, they also score points.

At the level of directly dealing with the needs of the emperor, how many people can suppress the demons?

"Brother Pan Shao Dao and Tao Daoyou each use the art of Zhai Jiao and the art of Wai Dan to promote the name of my Zhengyi."

Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen are looking forward to it, and Jin Kela, who has just returned to Beijing from Huangzhuang to "cooperate with research", does not forget his main business, and first cares about his manure business.

The rumors have gone out, and sure enough, many powerful people have arranged for their subordinates to come over to "negotiate" business.

The Jin family is thriving.

"Have you asked any of the relatives who are interested in this business?"

“…… No. ”

The dignified relatives are nothing more than seeing the wind and rain and pleasing the emperor. Really let them come forward to set up this "manure enterprise", and they want to be faced.

Kim was worried.

"Brother Jin, someone has come to the palace."

The clan brother hurriedly ran in, excited and restrained.

This is not called jumping on the branch and becoming a phoenix, this is buried in the root of the fat royal. Jin Ke has entered the palace for a while, and now he can always have contact with His Majesty.

It's just a little eunuch who came over, but everyone has honor.

“…… The ninth day of the first month? Jin Qila was stunned and confirmed.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing, grass people obey."

After Jin Qila enthusiastically sent away the eunuch for interrogation, the clan brother complained to him: "Brother, why are you still at a loss? Don't go to Fang Xiucai to teach you the etiquette of your majesty! ”

“…… You know the. ”

Jin Ke La was only surprised that the emperor was going to summon him on this day.

After all, this is the day when the first exam starts.

The champion residence is the closest to the Gongyuan, and the people who are willing to spend money to live here are beginning to gear up and look forward to it.

Dongyue Temple and Baiyun Temple, as well as some other Taoist temples in the capital, also received news from the Daolu Division: entered the palace on the ninth day of the first month, and His Majesty summoned him.

Jin Kela knew that the emperor was going to ask the actual thing this time: what the emperor wanted was a "compound fertilizer" that was easy to produce, easy to transport, low in price, and large in quantity. This word was said by the emperor when he sent someone to confess to the Agricultural College and Jin Kela.

He thought about it for so long, but he didn't understand the real truth that his own fertilizer could be used and easy to use, after all, it was just tried.

So what should I say?

In the early morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the outside of the Gongyuan was very lively, and Yang Shen stood in the gate of the Gongyuan and said in a deep voice: "Open the door." ”

In the past, Zhuangyuanlang began to take the main exam, welcoming the new subject to the exam.

In the past few days, the emperor has summoned him three times alone, and the holy family is no different for a while.

Many years later, Yang Shen still couldn't understand why the emperor had always put up with him like Wei Zheng. He lost some, but he also retained some of the enthusiasm that His Majesty had spoken at the first court meeting.

But now, Yang Shen is just doing the first thing he did after returning to Beijing.

In the past few years in Guangdong, he has personally felt the importance of officials' moral integrity and ability to local political affairs.

As the son of Yang Tinghe, the leader of the New Party, and as His Majesty's mouth, "a hundred years of Ming monks, and finally a person who will be able to cultivate such righteous deaths", Yang Shen is duty-bound to select talents in the new law!

On the west side of the Forbidden City, Shao Yuanjie and the others looked at Huang Jin, the celebrant and the eunuch, the imperial eunuch, and the closest to the emperor, and enthusiastically quipped to a man with a dark face: "Jin Daozun, why are you still tanned after winter?" ”

Their hearts were filled with joy: Where is this Taoist friend? How dare you be honored?
