Dress to be a celebrity

The typesetting of the book made by Song Shi himself was complex, with pictures sandwiched between it. The engraving was slow to come out, but the pirated version with only the text came out quickly. into Zhou Wangfu.

Concubine Huan had long been thinking about her brother's situation at the border, but he had only a thin piece of paper for her family letter, and there were many for Song Shi, but he kept it secret, and she didn't see the pirated copy until now.

The pirated editions were copied by the instructors and students when they were engraving, and they couldn't send the full edition immediately, so they had to wait for others to copy it piece by piece.However, her brother wrote that the grassland scenery is magnificent, the grassland animals are alive, and the life of the grassland tribes is quite exotic and wild. There are also comments that are similar to his writing style but have slight similarities and differences. It is more interesting to compare the two , People can't help but want to read the following text.

She looked at the thin manuscript in her hand, sighed softly, and ordered the servant: "Please come to my palace to have dinner in the evening, and tell Your Highness that I have got a manuscript written by my brother at the border, as well as notes made by Song Sange. "

In the evening, when King Zhou returned to the apse early, he saw the princess holding a bound booklet and flipping through it.He scanned the opened page with the word "Fengzhou" written on it, which is the old city of Jurchen, so he knew the origin of this booklet, and said with a smile: "I've wanted to get this manuscript for you for a long time. You promised to give me a set when the book is printed, but Yuan Niang, you are one step ahead of me."

Yuan Niang smiled and said: "Yuan Niang is very happy to be missed by the prince. Let's look at these first. Maybe the prince has already found the complete manuscript for me before I have all the manuscripts."

King Zhou thought about the progress of printing that Sima Changshi had told him, and replied with some regret: "That book was printed using lithography, which is faster than wax engraving. I heard that dozens of pages can be engraved in a day. Only Among them, my brother-in-law drew pictures of topography, local characters, birds and animals, and it would take some work to engrave the plates, and it would take another ten days."

Song's relatives hand-copied the original manuscript, and he would definitely not be willing to give it away. They still have to wait for the engraved plate to be printed and assembled into a book, and I'm afraid it will take some days.

But these handwritten manuscripts are already quite attractive.

The teacher and the princess looked at the style, rhetoric and inner affection.However, Zhou Wang had seen for a long time, but it was not just these, but the route that Huan Ling had recorded when he traveled northward, and the cities, lakes, sandy land, hills and other signs that could be used when marching.

The notes interspersed in the Song Dynasty are also useful: there are not only the history of the city, but also the natural principles of the local climate and terrain, and according to the local terrain, population, products, etc., the text pre-arranges how to resettle the people, Operating place.

This set of articles and annotations focuses on the way of heaven, and is sympathetic to the people. It can also be used as a way for the army to conquer. It is not just the work of ordinary literati.

The king of Zhou had been tempered in military and political affairs for many years in Hanzhong, and he was no longer the young prince who only knew how to write elegantly when he first came out of Beijing.After reading these articles, he already thought of its usefulness—Uncle Huan had found the way into the grassland, and he remembered it so clearly and carefully, that in the future, the army could use it to enter and exit, and even brought cement and the like to build a road into the grassland. Pathway to the prairie.

The grassland has a lot of land and people, and people need to be stationed to prevent the scattered Tatar tribes from reoccupying the land.For this reason, in the future, it may be possible to ask for orders to relocate the people in the interior to the outside of the border for reclamation. The soldiers and people who farm the fields can also learn from the products and methods of obtaining them written in these articles, and settle down on the grassland as soon as possible.

When this book is printed, I will send it back to Beijing to show my father, and I will also send a set to Shu'er, maybe they can also use it when they are looking for enemies and fighting.

Since King Qi left the border last year, he has experienced two great victories, released countless prisoners and returned to the court, and has not yet entered the border again.Although the places and tribes written in these articles do not coincide with his second brother, the articles occasionally mention the genealogical relationship of the tribes. The Northern Expedition Army can take advantage of the conflicts or kinship between these tribes to conquer or recruit...

He stroked the pages of the book and apologized softly to Huan Yuanniang: "I can't rest with you tonight, I have something to ask Brother Song."

Princess Huan said considerately: "My lord must have some official business to discuss with Brother Song, so just go. I, Wang and the maids, can read the articles and pass the time."

King Zhou said goodbye to her in a hurry, took the manuscript in his hand and went to Song Shi, and discussed with him about sending the book to Beijing.

It's not just this set that is being printed, he feels that Yi Huanling's spirit in writing this set of manuscripts is afraid that he will write wherever he goes, and eventually he will write a "Prairie Chronicles".

He planned to ask Song Shi to do the same to organize and compile the manuscripts sent by Huan Ling into a book in the same way, and to make a set of names, objects and geography for future generations to learn from.

He put the manuscript back in Song Shi's hand, stood up and cupped his hands: "It's not that I don't know that Uncle Song is busy, but you and Uncle Huan are connected by heart, and you can know everything from what you see. It can teach soldiers and civilians how to use it."

For everything Huan Ling wrote, he could indicate the reason, the way of heaven hidden behind it, the usefulness for people, the danger and the method of avoiding it, which can be used by the people of the country when they go outside the border.

Another person may be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, knowing why the mushrooms on the grassland grow into mushroom rings, how to fry mushrooms with butter, but few know the reason behind the atmospheric changes behind the tornado celestial phenomenon, and it is even more difficult to know how to avoid it——

This is another benefit of his having been an agent of civil affairs in Fujian for several years and being well-informed.

The king of Zhou, with the respect of a prince and his brother-in-law, personally saluted and asked him to entrust him. How could the Song Dynasty refuse?He held King Zhou's arm, supported his small body with a little force, and said softly: "How dare you be a gift from His Royal Highness? This is my duty. If I can get His Highness's support, I will send Huan Qianxian to the grassland. It is an honor for the two of us to present the article that we have worked so hard on to the imperial court."

He originally wanted to collect the manuscripts of the little brother casually and make a Mongolian travel note. If he can catch the court line and be collected in the Chinese secret library, this book will be great in the future!

Even if the original book has not been handed down for hundreds of years, at least it has to leave a name in the world's book collections such as "Yongle Dadian" and "Siku Quanshu".

The two authors can be regarded as famous in history!

He became agitated, put the king of Zhou firmly in his position, and saluted himself in turn: "I should thank Your Highness for his love. I entrusted His Highness to deliver my book to the imperial court. As for Your Highness who intends to teach ordinary people to be able to It would be easier to know about the grasslands outside the border—Brother Huan will also write articles that are as catchy and easy to understand as white poems. I will sort out the manuscripts he sent and publish some in the newspaper. It’s a sketch about interesting things about the prairie.”

Huan Ling is not only good at writing popular articles, the box he sent is all in vernacular, which can be reported directly.

In fact, the people of this dynasty already speak vernacular, which is not much different from modern Chinese, and there are also simple words such as "the imperial court is too urgent to urge subjects, and there is no peace".Even if Huan Ling's manuscripts were published directly in the newspaper, as long as it was said that they were specially revised for the sake of common people's understanding, no one would be able to see the truth.

If such a good paper written by their little brother is only published on Jinjiang website and cannot be seen by the world, it would be too violent.

Emperor Song said in a big way: "It's very easy to change this manuscript, Your Highness don't have to worry, I will first change a few articles that the people like to hear, such as cooking and so on, so that the people know that the herdsmen on the grassland are just like us Zheng people." They are for eating and drinking, not some monsters who are born to kill."

His articles were printed into books under Huan Ling's name, but Huan Ling's articles had to be entered into databases and published in newspapers under his name. This was a very strange encounter.

The two couples are both people who say they will do it, but a few days later, the Hanzhong Economic News published a column "Into the Grassland". Song Sanyuan who attracted the attention of the world.

As long as the words "Song Shi" were published in the newspaper, the sales volume of Hanzhong Economic News increased several times.Booksellers from all over the country also saw business opportunities. Not only did they purchase Hanzhong Economic News, but they also set up a column for Song Sanyuan in their own newspapers, reprinting his articles.

In the midst of this fanatical pursuit, the "Bei Xing Lu", which he personally translated, typeset, designed and packaged, was also sent to Beijing by Zhou Wang and handed over to the emperor's desk.

This set of books is only compiled in the order of the north trip, with detailed content, involving both military and political affairs, unlike the proses he published in the newspapers that only introduce the customs and delicacies of the grasslands.

After all, the Son of Heaven is not a commoner, and what can make the Holy One like it is not the fresh and moving customs of the local area, but the content that can be used in both military and civilian affairs.

The captives are very close to the towns on the nine borders of them, so close that they can raid the border prefectures at any time; but they are so far away from them, so far away that the Dazheng court has not known the internal lineage of the captive court for a hundred years, and the name of the Great Khan , Records, what famous generals can be ministers like this.

It wasn't until the return of King Shunyi this time that the court had a deeper understanding of the Tatar Khan and others.Huan Ling's "Bei Xing Lu" recorded some tribal origins, genealogy, and fighters in the clan that King Shunyi had never mentioned, as well as many past wars and their experience in fighting the Zheng people. , the customary tactics...

In the past, they only knew themselves and did not know the enemy, but after going to war, they can finally know themselves and the enemy.

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly, thinking of his second son who was far away from the pass, he looked back and asked the imperial eunuch: "Did the person who sent the book from the King of Zhou say that the book was given to the King of Qi?"

have.His Royal Highness King Zhou loves his younger brother. There are things in the book that are related to the success or failure of the war on the grassland. How can he not give a set to King Qi who is fighting against the enemy outside the border?
