After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 28 Idealized Big Bookstore
It was already noon when they arrived in Liancheng. The group went straight to an inn to stay, ordered some food in the lobby, and drank tea. Listen to other people chatting.
Mrs. Dong was a little tired and wanted to take Mingjia to rest after dinner. But Mingjia was worried about going to the bookstore with Xie Boyuan to exchange books. Mrs. Dong thought for a while and put a small piece of broken silver into her son and daughter's purse, and asked Mrs. Shui to follow Mingjia.
On the way, Mrs. Shui held Mingjia in her arms, and the little girl looked around curiously. It was already afternoon, the market had already dispersed, and there were not many people at the merchants on both sides. Xie Boyuan and Xiao Qingshan were chatting behind them.
Xie Boyuan told Xiao Qingshan that Liancheng's prefect had good performance last year and would be promoted this year. It is estimated that the imperial edict is on its way now. "Promotion?" Mingjia heard the keyword and turned her head.
It seems that it is also possible to upgrade KPI performance. It is equivalent to brushing data in an online store and is worth studying.
When we arrived at the largest bookstore in Liancheng, Xiao Qingshan was too down-to-earth and Mingjun Mingjia was too young. In the end, it was Xie Boyuan who came forward to negotiate with the bookstore owner, and the replacement book list was also decided by Xie Boyuan.
Speaking of book lists, Xie Boyuan had a lot to say.
On the carriage in the morning, Mingjia suggested writing a book list and listing the titles of existing books to avoid duplicating them. Xie Boyuan felt that the little girl did things in an orderly and orderly manner.
Then, Mingjia handed Xie Boyuan a booklet. Xie Boyuan took it and saw that he was very happy. Except for the first book "Eight Notes of Yongzhou" and "National Political Important", which were not his own, the other books listed were from last time. Borrowed from him.
The little girl is here to play with him with empty gloves. What can I do?
Who made him interested in the little girl's thoughts. As a scholar, the idea of this big bookstore was too tempting for him.
Mingjia's eyes signaled Xie Boyuan to quickly write down what he had. Xie Boyuan smiled bitterly, and finally accepted his fate and added all the books in the book box he brought to the booklet.
The shopkeeper was sure that the title book they took out was authentic, so he immediately arranged for his best copyists to copy the book quickly. Here Xie Boyuan, Xiao Qingshan, and Ming Jun also join the battle, each with a book. Mingjia seemed to be wandering around in the bookstore.
In fact, Ming Jia discovered a problem. The books Xie Boyuan changed were all about analysis of articles and writings, or related to poetry. They were all teaching aids related to the imperial examination, and they were also the most popular type of books in the bookstore.
But what Mingjia wants is practical books such as "Shui Jing Zhu" and "National Agricultural Political Essentials". On the one hand, this type of books is rarer and more cost-effective. The second is practicality. For the county magistrate, the fact that there are many scholars in the county and the number of scholars taking exams is a sign of political achievement, but it is too slow.
In this dynasty, if you want someone to become a talent, it takes at least several years of training, and it also depends on luck. But if you want the crops to be harvested better and the people's lives to be better, it's relatively simple.
Mingjia walked around the bookstore, looking for any books that interested her. I actually found a few books. During Liancheng's previous dynasty, there was a well-known Xinglin Sage, who also served as the head of the Imperial Hospital.
Although the entire family has now moved to the capital, every bookstore in Liancheng has several medical-related books. It is said that "Detailed Explanation of Hundred Flavors" was compiled based on the handwritten notes of the sage.
Of course, these are all told by the shopkeeper, so I don’t know how credible they are. But this is enough to make Mingjia drool with envy while looking at these medical books. What should I do? I really want it.
There is definitely no money to buy it. This time my father went to take office. Although there was a settlement fee provided by the court, there was still some leftover, but they rarely stayed in inns, and they spent money on food and accommodation.
Uncle Yuan had to ask for help, thump thump thump... Mingjia ran upstairs to the box where Xiao Qingshan and the others were copying books. Just in time to see Xie Boyuan put down his brush and move his wrist, Xie Boyuan felt miserable!
Xie Boyuan only copied books in order to practice calligraphy when he was a child. Later, his health deteriorated and he could not take the imperial examination. He wrote articles based on his mood. He had never written so many articles at once, and he had to be absolutely right.
Mingjun copied more casually, as long as he made sure that he wrote correctly and didn't miss any words. Anyway, it was best to go back and Xiao Qingshan would copy it again for his son. Xie Boyuan also wanted to copy more casually, but he wanted to lose face.
Ming Jia ran over and pulled up Uncle Yuan's sleeves and walked downstairs. Xie Boyuan was startled, but he hurried downstairs. Stopping in front of a few medical books and looking at Xie Boyuan with big innocent eyes, Mingjia's meaning was obvious.
Xie Boyuan was helpless. Does this little girl want to study medicine? Mingjia felt that the tacit understanding was not enough, so he decided to explain: "We can exchange other books in other states and cities, but these medical books are nowhere to be found after passing Liancheng."
This sentence made Xie Boyuan enlightened. Why didn't he think of it?
Xie Boyuan asked the question smoothly. Mingjia was silent for a few seconds and replied quietly: "Maybe it's because I can't read the imperial examination books. In my eyes, all books are the same. There is no distinction between high and low."
Xie Boyuan looked down at the little girl, and for the second time in one day, he was shaken by the little girl's words. Is it the innocence of a child or the sensitivity of a little girl? She seems to find problems and look at them from a very strange angle.
But, she's right.
Xie Boyuan once again found the bookstore shopkeeper, took out his book list, and asked to exchange some medicine-related books on the shelf, and the shopkeeper readily agreed. This time I made a lot of money, so my boss will give me a reward.
At night, Xie Boyuan rubbed his sore wrists and thought about the next route. He felt that Mingjia's idea was right. According to this idea, they could adjust the route. The original plan was to go to Jinju as the next stop, but now he wanted to go to Anseong instead.
On the second day, Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan continued to copy books. Mrs. Dong took her son and daughter to visit Liancheng, and Mrs. Shui followed. As usual, we went to the clothing store, and the embroidery shop also went to the food store. Mingjia and Mingjun each had a booklet and recorded a lot of things.
Finally, she was a little tired, so Mrs. Shui suggested going to the medicine shop. Liancheng's medicine is very famous, especially some pills and powders. Mrs. Shui suggested that my wife should buy some more in case of emergencies. On the way, she could also ask a doctor to give her a safe pulse.
Speaking of this, Mingjia felt a little guilty. When she was in the capital, she even forgot to find a doctor to check Dong's pulse. Fortunately, Dr. Liancheng also has good medical skills.
I didn't buy many things all afternoon, after all, the carriage space was limited. When he arrived at the drug store, Mr. Dong didn't take it into consideration. He had prepared all kinds of patent medicines and pills to treat colds and stomachaches in children, as well as those for bruises and injuries. In the end, all the money in Mingjun's brother and sister's wallets was contributed.
In the evening, Mingjun and Mingjia wrote "travel notes" together again. Both brother and sister wrote to the drug store, but the difference was a little big.
Mingjia saw that the medicines were complete, the clerk was quick, and the doctor was followed by several apprentices. I just thought it would be great if I could poach a few doctors and clerks.
It was the first time for Mingjun to see such a big medicine shop, and he recalled the time he picked herbs in Tianjia Village, and he missed Uncle Li a little. The end of the travelogue;
My sister said that people in Liancheng are proud of their medical skills. If Liancheng could open a college to only train talents who study medicine and pharmaceuticals, it would be very profitable to think about it!
