Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 251
This is really a plan that can't keep up with the changes.

Zhang Fei never expected that Sima Guang would have the idea of ​​writing.

This cannot be refused, it must be satisfied.

Zhang Fei hurriedly asked someone to bring a pen, ink and paper.

Since Sima Guang was interested in Xu Zhiqian's article, he was thinking like a spring, so he didn't need to think too much, and wrote an article soon.

"Wow, Master Sima is really brilliant. This article is written in a smooth, coherent manner, which is amazing. It's a joy! It's a joy!"

Zhang Fei took the article that Sima Guang had just written, his eyes were full of tears, his mouth was full of foam, and he was very excited.

Sima Guang looked sideways at his sincere interpretation, but didn't say a word.

"Uh, why is Bachelor Sima looking at me like that?"

Zhang Fei asked with some trepidation.

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "Don't shoot your flattery, just like you, do you know how to appreciate this article?"

I praise you so much, and you just belittle me like this, it's really unsatisfactory.Zhang Fei smiled embarrassingly, but was speechless.

To be honest, apart from the fact that the writing is really good, he really can't understand what is so good about this article.

As far as his literary quality is concerned, as long as he uses words well and reads smoothly, it is very good.

Sima Guangfu said: "Let's just talk about writing articles. It is true that I have talent. I don't agree with Wang Jiefu in other aspects, but this article is the only one. I have exhausted my whole life. I’m afraid I can’t write about him.”

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Fei again, and changed the topic: "But the stupid bird flies first, and diligence can make up for it. You can't stop writing just because you can't write well. If you always ask Qianer to write for you, then you will never improve. "

His literary attainments are actually very remarkable. He is a great contemporary writer, and few people in history can match him. After all, he is a man who has written a comprehensive guide to governance. It's just that he happened to meet Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Shi behind him. The two brothers, Su Zhe and Su Zhe, covered up his sharpness.

In this age of geniuses, Sima Guang can only insist on the idea that hard work can make up for one's weakness.

It is true that he can make up for his weakness with hard work, but he is also definitely a genius.

It's really scary.

The most frustrating thing in life is to discover that a genius works harder than you.

Zhang Fei completely gave up his efforts in this area. What he required of himself was to practice neatly written characters and fluent sentences so that everyone could understand them.

One more step, and he won't go.

It really doesn't make sense.

At most he can be a porter for one article.

That's it.

"Yes."

Zhang Fei still responded, "Zhang San will definitely take the lesson of Grand Master Sima to heart."

Seeing that his expression was not sincere at all, Sima Guang knew that he was just trying to explain himself, so he stopped talking. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and suddenly said seriously: "I just praised Wang Jiefu, you must not tell Wang Jiefu, otherwise , I can't spare you."

"Oh. I know, I know, I will definitely not say it."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, this pair of enemies.

But Sima Guang can't leave now, because Zhang Fei has to take his article to the workshop to compare and see which words in the article do not have movable type. If there is no movable type, he must modify it.

After all, no one can change Sima Guang's article here, only he can change it himself.

Fortunately, Sima Guang also paid attention to this, and tried to use some more commonly used characters. In the end, there were only twelve characters, and there was no movable type, which was less than Xu Zhiqian's articles.

After the modification, Sima Guang left.

"Sanlang, what should we do?"

Hou Donglai looked at Zhang Fei eagerly.

Zhang Fei asked: "What should I do?"

Hou Donglai said: "Are we printing the articles written by Master Sima, or by Mrs. Xu?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and said: "Everything is printed. Zhiqian's words are still the same as agreed before, but the price of Sima University's articles is ten cents more, and the number of copies is also printed by five hundred copies. The edition is also kept. If it's popular, keep printing it."

Hou Donglai nodded, "Yes, I understand."

After giving the order, Zhang Fei also went home in a carriage.

When he got home, he told Xu Zun and his daughter about it.

Xu Zun is also a literati, and he can understand Sima Guang. If he is not the person involved, he would write it himself. Writing articles is the literati's greatest hobby.

But Xu Zhiqian complained: "Zhang San, since Master Sima has written it, please don't print my article, it will make people laugh at me."

She also has self-knowledge, putting her article together with Sima Guang's, hers is shit, the gap is too big.

"Different."

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima wrote completely according to his own ideas, and I didn't dare to intervene. In comparison, your article is more to my liking, so I decided to print it all."

Sima Guang's article hid too many private goods, and it also promoted his idea of ​​saving money and hiding wealth for the people. Xu Zhiqian's article was discussed by them, and the two are actually different.

Xu Zhiqian said anxiously: "You didn't lie to me, did you? If I was laughed at, I would settle the score with you."

Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry, I will post your articles separately, small roadside tea shops will post your articles, and Baifanlou will post articles by Sima University."

Xu Zhiqian nodded: "This is more or less the same."

She didn't want to name it.

She felt extremely embarrassed thinking about it.

If Sima Guang and the others disdain to write, then she thinks it doesn't matter, but if Sima Guang writes, then she thinks it is very embarrassing.

There is a saying that raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.

The craftsmen at the genuine bookstore have been engaged in research and development for more than half a year, and are preparing. Although their wages are not short of them, they are not making money. Everyone has no idea whether they can make money by researching and developing every day. ?

Now it can be regarded as coming to business, and everyone is like a chicken blood, and they are doing their lives.

Soon, the first paper newspaper in history was released.

At the same time, Zhang Fei also released news that he was going to put the newspaper in various restaurants and teahouses for sale.

The shopkeepers of the major restaurants immediately came upon hearing the news.

Everyone is not stupid.

The previous tabloid has been fermenting for many days, and the sudden response is really eye-catching.

Gimmick.

If other restaurants have them, but your restaurant doesn't, then the loss may not be the numbers on paper, and even the status may be affected.

Hou Donglai, who has worked in printing for many years, finally experienced the feeling of being a master.

Very domineeringly told the shopkeepers to keep the money, and send people here to pick up the goods on the fourth watch three days later.

It's that simple.

Inspection?

Ha ha!

Do you like to buy it or not.

Those shopkeepers kept the money honestly without saying a word, and they didn't even know that what they bought was Sima Guang's article.

"Shopkeeper, how are you doing?"

Hong Zhong asked quietly.

Hou Donglai said, "Sold them all."

"What? They're all sold?" Hong Zhong said in shock, "It's so expensive, does anyone buy it?"

This pricing has scared their craftsmen, which has already reached ten times the profit.

Hou Donglai said: "Maybe we can sell it cheaply, and come to the shopkeeper, but no one said it was expensive."

Hong Zhong scratched his head when he heard this, he, a humble man like him, how could he understand this, he just found it inconceivable.

This is much more profitable than printing books.

This time it was really developed.

Three days later, Alum Building.

Early in the morning, Fan Yong and his son brought more than [-] maidservants and stood in front of the door to welcome the guests, because the private seats and private rooms in the Baifan Building were all reserved in the first two days.

And all of them are not small, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Cao Ping, Gu Ji and so on.

They are all court ministers and relatives of the emperor.

The last time was the judge of the third division.

Because this matter also involved the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, when everyone heard that the other party was going to fight back, they must come to find out.

There are even many scholar-bureaucrats who sent someone to order it, but the reply they got was that it was sold out, so they could only go to the restaurant to see it.

Han Qi just sat down, ignoring the beautiful scenery outside the window and the delicious food in Baifanlou, and directly said to Fan Yong: "Didn't you say there are tabloids to read? Where are the tabloids?"

At his age, how could he be in the mood to come here early in the morning for breakfast, just to read the newspaper.

"Han Xianggong, please wait a moment."

Fan Yong quickly ordered the maid to fetch a tabloid.

Han Qi held the tabloid, "Is this a tabloid?"

Fan Yong hurriedly replied: "Yes, you can read it after opening it."

Han Qi nodded and opened the newspaper, which definitely opened up a new world!
Fan Yong asked cautiously again: "What would Mr. Han want to eat?"

This is a restaurant, not a library, I can't just read newspapers!

"what?"

Han Qi glanced at him, and then at the old servant beside him.

The old servant quickly pulled Fan Yong away, and ordered a few breakfasts that Han Qi liked.

Han Qi was soon fascinated, but looking at it, he suddenly frowned, "This style of writing is quite familiar, as if I have seen it before."

Turning his gaze to the end, he said in surprise, "Sima Junshi? So it was written by Sima Junshi. No wonder it looks familiar. Why!"

He quickly called Fan Yong over again.

"Member, why did Sima Junshi write this article?"

"Xiaomin didn't know about Han Xianggong's words." Fan Yong explained: "We only found out this morning that two copies were printed at the genuine bookstore this time, one was written by Mrs. Xu, and the other was written by Mrs. Xu. Written by Sima University."

"Miss Xu?"

"It's Xu Sishi's daughter, Xu Zhiqian."

"Oh."

Han Qi nodded, "Excuse me and bring me a copy too."

Fan Yong said: "Yes."

Originally, Xu Zhiqian's article would not be published in the Alumni Building, but Fan Zheng asked for a few copies based on his relationship.

Because the protagonist of this matter is Xu Zun, Xu Zhiqian must represent Xu Zun, this is the real response.

Han Qi is also a great writer, usually he would not like Xu Zhiqian's articles, but today he also wants to read them.

After Fan Yong left, Han Qi looked carefully again, nodded frequently and said: "As expected of Sima Junshi, this writing is sophisticated, not bad, not bad, really good writing."

The style of Sima Guang's articles is simple and unpretentious, but it hides very clever skills, which are many times better than those old marketing accounts, although they do the same thing.

He cleverly focused on taking into account the ideas of the landlords, that is to say, they all felt that this cut was very unfair to the landlords, so there was this meeting.

I tell you very euphemistically that we are not targeting the landlords, but thinking of the landlords.

If it is said that the landlord is not considered, then there is no need to discuss it.

As for Xu Zun's statement, it was just mentioned casually during the discussion. He even wrote down the original words at that time, expressing that they were not in favor of doing so, including Xu Zun, who didn't say much.

Then he began to expound his own views, saving money, hiding wealth from the people, and governing the world together. It's not all the landlord's fault.

As for co-ruling the world, he directly came up with a move to kill.

He said that the scholar-bureaucrats regard the world as their own responsibility, and many scholar-bureaucrats have come forward to face difficulties in the local area. How could it endanger the stability of the place? He also gave an example that Sima Guang reads books every day, which is what he is best at.

This law has no effect on scholar-bureaucrats, they are just worried that villains will provoke trouble from it.

Anyway, it is full of private goods.

And his ideas are in the same line as Fan Zhongyan and the others, and Han Qi is one of the gentlemen of Qingli, so of course he agrees.

I was fascinated by it, but when I watched it, I suddenly felt that there was a lot of people outside.

Han Qi couldn't help getting up and going outside the private room. Looking around, he saw that the building was already full of people, either court officials or retired scholar-bureaucrats.

Everyone was holding tabloids, eloquent and arguing endlessly.

This made Han Qi's thoughts seem to return to his youth, when he talked about current affairs with Fu Bi and other friends, how beautiful it was at that time.

The consumption in this alum building is not cheap, and few in the court are richer than him. He must be sitting in the best private room and enjoying the best service, but at this moment, he feels very lonely, and this tabloid cannot one to see.

Suddenly he caught sight of Zeng Gongliang and others sitting in the private seat, and he walked over in a hurry.

Of course Wang Anshi knew about this, but he would not come to a luxurious place like Baifan Building. He has no interest in food and clothing, and, to be honest, he can't afford it either, after all, he still has a mortgage on his back. When he was alive, he went to the tavern near the imperial city, ready to have a look, and then went to work on the way, but he saw Sima Guang's article.

This early in the morning. Affects the mood!
"As expected of a Sima University scholar, this article is really well written!"

"I really don't know why the officials believe in Wang Jiefu. Obviously, the philosophy of Sima University is more reasonable."

Wang Anshi sat in a corner with the newspaper alone, covered his face with the newspaper, read Sima Guang's article, and listened to Sima Guang's praise at the next table.

Is this article well written?

I really don't know.

I bother!
