Chapter 501: Yu Xiang and Luo Zhutou

Song You stayed here for ten days.

Sanhua Niangniang fished for ten days.

About the eighth day, there was a yin errand to Beiqin Mountain, first respectfully met the snake fairy, expressed his intention, and then welcomed Doctor Cai to the ghost city of Fengzhou.

Song You stayed for two more days-

Originally, after the "Cai Yijing" was written, the two senior disciples of Cai Shenyi worked overtime and had already copied three copies, and they were copying the fourth copy when Song You arrived. Song You waited until they had finished copying this, and then he took a complete original manuscript, four transcription manuscripts, and half of the manuscript he had originally carried, said goodbye to the snake fairy, and went down the mountain.

At this time, snow had already begun to fall on Beiqin Mountain.

The snow is still shallow, one step at a time.

The little girl frequently turned back, very reluctant.

"Don't look at it, Sanhua Niangniang, there are still many rivers ahead. There is also a stream at the foot of Yin Yang Mountain, if Sanhua Niangniang likes it, you can also dig a pond in front of the Taoist temple on the mountain in the future. ”

"Hmm!"

The little girl turned her head to look at him, and then looked at the big package on his back:

"Is it heavy?"

"It's not heavy to carry."

"After returning to Changjing, should we find a bookstore and print it as a book to sell?" The little girl turned her head and asked, "It's the same as the travelogue written by Sanhua Niangniang!" ”

"Sanhua Niangniang is getting smarter and smarter."

It seems that Sanhua Niangniang has not patronized fishing in the past ten days, and she is still paying attention to his affairs.

The truth is pretty much the same-

Indeed, it is necessary to publish the medical scriptures and distribute them all over the world.

However, Sanhua Niangniang's travelogue is a miscellaneous book, written by a little-known cat, if you want to make a book, you naturally have to find a bookstore to help print it, and you have to spend some effort, which is equivalent to publishing the book by yourself.

But "Cai Yijing" is different.

Cai Shenyi is famous, everyone in the world knows him, and he is also the god in the hearts of many doctors in Dayan, "Cai Yijing" condenses his life's work, and it is a divine book in itself. Even if such a treasure book is published in a bookstore, it is also a dream of a bookstore.

But Song You has a better choice-

Printed by the government.

Dayan has a developed economy and a prosperous culture, the imperial court has a printing agency of the imperial court, and the local government often has its own printing agency, which is more professional and of better quality than the folk bookstore, and has almost no other shortcomings except for being a little picky about the books. And being a little picky about books represents a kind of authority in itself.

And the best and most authoritative printing agency is none other than the central official engraved Guozijian.

Song You had to find an acquaintance.

So it took two more days to walk back to Changjing from Beiqin Mountain, and soon after returning to Xiaolou, Song You wrote a small letter written by himself, rolled it into a note, and handed it to Yanzi.

"After all, it's a bit presumptuous not to tell you, so I ask you to go to the official office of Cui Nanxi in Dongcheng for me, and hand over this note to him, everything I have written on the paper, I don't need you to speak, just hand it over to him."

"Understood!"

The swallow grabbed the paper roll and flew out immediately.

The brief greetings on the paper also made it clear that Song You would visit tomorrow afternoon. However, unexpectedly, just the next morning, Cui Nanxi came over on a donkey and carried the salute first.

"Cui Gong, this is ......"

"Recently, I have been busy compiling the canon, but I don't know that Mr. has returned to Beijing, and it is already Cui who should not be, how dare Mr. Lao come to my door? Yesterday I was dirty, I didn't dare to come to see Mr., I washed it, and I didn't come to visit Mr. until this morning, and I ask Mr. for forgiveness. ”

Cui Nanxi saluted respectfully.

Song You had no choice but to welcome him into the door and make tea for hospitality.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Cui Gong is okay?" Song You handed the tea to Cui Nanxi.

"My body has always been good, but I am getting older." Cui Nanxi took the tea with both hands, "Yes, sir, it's almost the same as when we first met on Genting Mountain." ”

"It's just that it's not old enough to be skinny."

"Mr. is an immortal, how can he be old?"

“……”

Song You waved his hand, didn't say this, just said with concern: "I don't know how the compilation of President Cui Gong's canon is progressing?" ”

"Thanks to the full support of the imperial court, progress has been smooth. In the past few years, there has been a great deal of chaos between the DPRK and China, and there have been occasional people who have come out to oppose it, but almost no one has paid attention to it, and it has been carried out smoothly. Cui Nanxi replied truthfully to Song You with the tea, "It's just that the compilation of the canon is not an easy task after all, and it takes many learned people to work together and study the evidence. ”

"No wonder Cui Gong is a lot haggard."

"If you can't compile it, you'll really fail Mr."

"I want to see it soon."

Song You smiled and said bluntly: "I plan to visit Cui Gong in the afternoon, and I want to ask Cui Gong for help." ”

"Huh?"

Cui Nanxi was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, and bowed: "I don't know what can serve Mr.?" ”

"Does Gong Cui know Doctor Cai?"

"Dr. Cai's medical skills are superb, helping the world and saving the people, who doesn't know? Cui has compiled a canon in the past few years, and has sorted out and recorded Dr. Cai's prescriptions. Cui Nanxi said, "It's just that in the past few years, I don't know where Dr. Cai Shen's practice of medicine has gone, and I haven't heard any news of his old man." ”

"Doctor Cai has been working hard in the past few years, condensing his life's work, and has written a peerless medical book called "Cai Yijing".

"Peerless medical books?"

"This book does not talk about art, but only about the essence of disease pharmacology, and about the thinking of those who practice medicine. Song You paused for a moment, "However, the medical scripture was jealous of the heavens, and the book was written several times and interrupted several times due to coincidence, and now it is finally written, and I want to ask the imperial court to print and distribute it to the world to save the world." ”

"I heard that the world is strange nowadays, and there are often evil plagues breeding and harming the world.

Cui Nanxi's eyes widened, and he hurriedly got up and handed over:

"Where is this Mr. asking Cui for help, it is clear that Mr. and Dr. Cai are helping the world!"

"If Cui Gong is willing to help, he has to ask a regular calligrapher to copy it here, if he copies it elsewhere, I'm afraid there will be an accident."

"Huh?"

Cui Nanxi was stunned again.

I don't know why Song You said this, but he didn't ask much, and after thinking about it for a while, he only thought that there were demons in the world that brought about epidemics, and if he knew that the medical book would come out to make trouble, he hurriedly agreed.

Then the two sides talked about the old for a while, and then chatted for a while about the current court and the future world, and Cui Nanxi said goodbye to him and rode away on a donkey.

Leave a jug of wine, a packet of brown sugar.

Within a few days, regular calligraphers from Guozijian began to come to Song You's small building to copy books.

Come early in the morning and return in the evening.

Every time one is copied, it is sent to the printing house and engraved into a plate.

For a while, the table under the small building was full of tables, all of which were full of ink.

The three-flowered cat often walks between the tables, sometimes looking at the handwriting of this one, sometimes looking at the person's expression, or lying in the door basking in the sun. At first, the calligraphers were worried about the cats destroying the paper, but gradually they got used to her presence, and sometimes even had a few words with her.

The three-flowered cat pretended not to understand.

But as soon as she returned upstairs, she changed into a human form, either whispering to Song You about what she had seen and heard below, which person copied fast and which person copied slowly, which person talked to her and which person's feet were very smelly, or picked up her willow branch and practiced the method of carrying out thin air with the swallow, but the carrying object used to practice changed from small rice grains to stones, and then to dishes.

And so day by day.

In winter, it is not only the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, but the lives of the people in the city have also become sluggish.

As soon as the weather gets cold, it becomes even more difficult to make ends meet.

The streets seem to be a little more chaotic.

There are more people who bully the market, steal chickens and dogs, and rob pedestrians in secluded places. Once there is chaos, it will trigger a chain reaction, and there will be more chaos that has nothing to do with it.

Even when the errand clerk of the Guozijian went to the bookstore with the manuscript in his arms, because of his careful expression, he was considered to be carrying a heavy treasure, and some people in the rivers and lakes followed him. Fortunately, after all, they are wearing uniforms, and these people are not so bold as to do so at present.

There are also a lot of folk rumors.

Some people say that it was the rebellion of King Shun that damaged the hearts of the people of Changjing, some people say that the prince tampered with the edict at the beginning and ruined the national fortunes of Dayan, and some people say that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the prince has not ascended the throne for a long time, so he can't stabilize the people's hearts.

Until the day of the winter solstice, a group of regular calligraphers finally finished copying the medical scriptures and said goodbye to Song You together:

"I'll leave later."

"Thank you, sir, for the tea."

"Thank you, sir."

"There are also craftsmen in charge of engraving and printing plates, and there is no chaos at present, if everything goes well, before the end of this year, the first "Cai Yijing" must be present."

"Thank you."

Song You felt that the probability of a mess was very low, and he still had a few manuscripts here to lay the foundation, even if there was a problem with the engraving and printing plate, it would not be of much significance, but it would just delay some more time.

"Recently, Changjing has been in turmoil, please be careful on your return trip."

"I'll know."

"Farewell!"

"Alas, I don't know what's going on in Changjing this year......"

"But I heard that Yu Xiang has long been unaccustomed to the chaos in Changjing, and has always wanted to start governing, but he is suffering from the lack of capable people under him, he is the prime minister, and he can't do everything himself. Maybe it can cure the chaos on Changjing Street. ”

"Recruit the head from Yizhou? Is that okay? ”

"This is a precedent ......"

"Oh! Yu Xiang: Is this emulating the famous Gu Shou and Zhou Kangbo two hundred years ago? ”

"Exactly!"

A group of poor scholars, young and old, left together while discussing.

Song You heard it clearly, but he was a little interested.

This rumor has also spread widely in Dayan-

In the later years of this dynasty, Taizu Changjing was chaotic, and there were many bullies, Gu Shou, who was the prime minister at the time, served as the governor of Pingzhou, and saw that he was not used to the chaos in Changjing and did nothing, and he knew that Zhou Kangbo, the head of Pingdu, was upright and upright, so he transferred Zhou Kangbo to Changjing.

Later, Zhou Kangbo was really upright, not afraid of power, acting impartially, not only fighting the strong and powerful, but also catching demons and ghosts, and finally controlled the security of Changjing.

People are grateful for his merits and integrity.

So there is the chief officer of the Lei Department, Zhou Lei Gong!

This Luo surnamed Zhutou is also his old man......
