"Hot, hot, hot, hot..." Zhu Xi stood there and muttered.
The chief next to him couldn't stand it any longer: "His Royal Highness King Qin, you are saying that when the weather is hot, beer tastes better if it is chilled with well water."
"That's the truth." Zhu Ping suddenly realized, he sighed: "It's really not easy to do business in person."
“Everything is difficult at the beginning. The kinder your heart is, the more tired you will be. You must always think of others.
Like a sage who loves his people like a son, he works harder every day. Hundreds of officials are assisting, but they all have their own thoughts.
However, if the people are safe and the country is stable, the king is a boat; the common people are water; water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat.
Another example is that the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Therefore, the people of Qiu became the emperor, the emperor became the princes, and the princes became the officials. "
The chief began to give lectures to Zhu Chong, and Hanhan wrote down some things that should be taught to Zhu Chong, and the chief learned from them while memorizing them.
Zhu Fang did not go to the base camp to attend classes, but his studies could not be left behind with the people of Xiaqiu Village.
"I would like to be taught!" Zhu Xi bowed slightly.
He discovered that people in Xiaqiu Village are good at ordering things, especially children. He has learned a lot from the stories of other children in recent days.
The Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic have the same characters, but there are many stories. Zhu Wentian’s friends haven’t finished learning them yet.
Some children remember this allusion, some remember another, and they teach each other.
If you write down all these allusions, you don’t need to read other books, almost all of them are included.
However, if you take the Eight-part essay test, you still have to memorize it, but when you answer it, you need to use the Eight-part essay to answer current policy, that is, the way it looks like a policy discussion. This is what Zhu Yuanzhang liked.
…
Zhu Fang spent a busy day staying with the children in the village, some of whom were about the same age as him. He also taught others what he had learned, which played a role in reviewing the past and learning the new.
It's all about learning. It's easier to remember when you learn while working with people in Xiaqiu Village. There's no pressure to learn.
In the evening, Fuhua Restaurant delivered meals. Shopkeeper Xu said that as long as Xiaqiu Village does not sell lunch boxes, the restaurant must be responsible for the meal.
Unless Xiaqiu Village wants to eat new dishes, the villagers can only cook them themselves. Just say hello in advance.
There are many kinds of food but small portions to ensure that no one has any leftovers after eating. If there are any leftovers in hot weather, they can only be thrown away.
Zhu Ming drank beer and continued to have dinner with everyone. No one took care of him, and the people in his house stayed in the house and did not come out.
At this time, he drank from a glass, and Xiaqiu Village sent him beer and glassware, which he used to drink beer brightly.
He ate a nine-turn large intestine: "Guanglu Temple doesn't always make the nine-turn large intestine. It's too troublesome, and if you eat it often, you'll get tired of it.
Zhu Lichang, didn’t the place where the pawnshop was originally said to sell the Four Treasures of the Study? I have some taken back there, you can take them over. "
"Since His Highness has mentioned it, let me tell you that the Four Treasures of the Study are just a cover. Your Highness's things from Luoyunzhai are too expensive."
The store manager told Zhu Xi tactfully that your store was not profitable. Unless you said you opened it, who would buy such good things?
An inkstone has a hundred or so sticks, a piece of ink has forty or fifty sticks, and the four treasures of the study for the village are rewarded by the palace, but they are far inferior to the goods in your shop.
After listening to the words of the director, Zhu Xi nodded: "What a shame! I asked you why the income from opening the store is so small. I really should...sigh!"
He wanted to arrest the shopkeeper he was looking for in the first place, but he thought it was pointless and everything was over.
"Your Highness, the prince should be thoughtful when acting, with the country as the main focus, and the Holy One as his mind.
We sell beer to harvest the wheat that sprouted during the continuous rain, and to allow the people to earn extra money by collecting the ears.
It’s not just about how much money you want to make. If you want to make money, we have a faster way.
A store with the Four Treasures of the Study should naturally be like this. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were many wastes waiting to be revitalized. There had been wars for many years, and there were few people studying.
Guanzi has clouds. A one-year plan is better than planting valleys; a ten-year plan is better than trees; a lifelong plan is better than planting people.
A tree that harvests one harvest is called a grain; a tree that harvests ten harvests is a tree; a tree that harvests a hundred harvests is a human being...meaning..."
The village chief took the opportunity and began to teach Zhu Xi again. The village chief was holding back a lot of energy in his heart!
His Highness King Qin will not go to the base camp to study and do things with our village. We have to let King Qin learn more things.
Are you knowledgeable people as good as our village guard Hanhan from Xiaqiu Village?
"That's why we sell books at the Four Treasures of the Study and print them ourselves. We don't talk about it far away. We only serve the people of Tianfu. There are students who have no money to buy books.
The pawn shop is a big place, and while we are selling books, we allow students to go in and read books, and we don’t drive them away even from morning till night.
Not only do we not drive people away, we also make them feel comfortable reading books. This is how Xiaqiu Village is designed..."
The director raised his glass, took a sip and continued talking.
The pawn shop needs to build an extra fire wall to keep it warm in winter and provide free hot soup.
In the summer, use screens and give free mung bean water.
On cloudy days, glass lamps are arranged for lighting.
Seeing that the scholar was really poor, he gave him some pickles, rice, and steamed buns, and ate them with soup.
Change it to a library to ensure a balanced revenue and don't expect to make money from it.
After the chief told him to eat, Zhu Ping thought about eating too. Until he was full, he was still in a daze.
…
The next day, everyone continued to repeat what happened yesterday, and Zhu Ping began to ask people in the mansion to print books.
At present, there are wooden movable type printing and tin movable type printing, but clay movable type is not popular, copper movable type has to wait, and lead movable type is also not available.
Tin movable type cannot be used in the north, otherwise it will be difficult to make a bunch of large and small tin movable types. When winter comes, all the movable type will be broken.
So Nanjing is actually not very willing to use it. God knows when the temperature suddenly becomes very low in winter.
Only wood type was the most popular, or block printing.
Zhu Xi asked for wooden movable type, as Li Chang said. If the book is printed in the future, if the annotations of some of the Four Books and Five Classics are different, the engraving will be useless.
The key is to make money, no matter what, the library must support itself and not be subsidized by other industries.
Wooden movable type requires high quality wood materials, with fine texture, not easily deformed, and easy to carve.
Just as the construction of the Central Capital was stopped, everyone came to repair the imperial palace in Nanjing, requiring craftsmen and craftsmen and wood.
Zhu Xi wrote a letter to his father asking for it, explaining that it was for printing books, but he did not say that it was to give scholars who had no money to buy books a place to study.
He was planning to give his father a surprise, so he couldn't get kicked in vain.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed that it would not take much effort to carve some words and use a little wood.
At lunch time, Zhu Xi happily told the village chief: "My father personally arranged the manpower. The copper movable type you mentioned is difficult to handle. We cannot waste money unless we have copper mines and mine them ourselves."
"His Royal Highness, King Qin, has the manpower to mine? Copper mines, yes."
The village chief knew that the mines could be mined at will, but it was best to sell them to the government after mining.
Who did Xiaqiu Village pick and sell it to? Of course I keep it for myself and use it to make copper movable type. The key is how to find people who are mining.
"Is it cost-effective to hire people?" Zhu Ming was also worried about the people who worked. People in the mansion couldn't go digging for rocks.
