This really means that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
Zhang Fei never expected that Sima Guang would have the idea to write.
This cannot be refused and must be satisfied.
Zhang Fei quickly asked someone to bring pen, ink and paper.
Since Sima Guang was aroused by Xu Zhiqian's article and his thoughts surged, he didn't need to think too much and quickly wrote an article.
"Wow... Grand Master Sima is really a master of writing. This article is written in a fluent and smooth manner, which is amazing. It's so enjoyable! It's really enjoyable!"
Zhang Fei took the article Sima Guang had just written, his eyes filled with tears, he was foaming at the mouth, and he was very excited.
Sima Guang, on the other hand, looked askance at his sincere performance without saying a word.
"Uh... why is Grand Bachelor Sima looking at me like this?"
Zhang Fei asked with some anxiety.
Sima Guang chuckled and said, "Stop flattering me. Just your two words. Do you know how to appreciate this article?"
I praise you so much and you belittle me like this. It's really not fun. Zhang Fei smiled and said nothing.
To be honest, apart from the fact that the writing was really good, he really didn't understand what was so good about this article.
As far as his literary quality is concerned, as long as he uses the right words and reads smoothly, it is very good.
Sima Guang stroked his beard and said: "Let's just talk about writing articles. It is true that he has talent. As for Wang Jiefu's other aspects, I am not convinced by him, but this article alone...sigh...I am exhausted. I'm afraid I won't be able to write about him even if I try my best in a lifetime."
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhang Fei and changed the topic: "But the stupid bird flies first, hard work can make up for the poor. You can't stop writing just because you can't write well. If you always let Qian'er write for you, you will never make progress. "
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 the man who wrote Zizhi Tongjian, but he happened to meet Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Shi behind him. The two brothers, Su Zhe and Su Zhe, covered up his sharp edge.
In this age where geniuses emerge in large numbers, Sima Guangdu can only adhere to the concept that hard work can make up for weakness.
He has indeed managed to make up for his shortcomings through hard work, but he is definitely a genius.
This is really terrible.
The most demoralizing thing in life is to discover that a genius works harder than you.
Zhang Fei has completely given up on working in this area. His requirement for himself is to practice until the handwriting is neat and the sentences are smooth, so that everyone can understand it.
One more step and he wouldn't take it.
There's really no point.
At most he can be a porter of articles.
That's all.
"yes."
Zhang Fei still responded: "Zhang San will definitely keep in mind the lessons of Grand Scholar Sima."
Sima Guang saw that his expression was not sincere at all, and knew that he was also perfunctory, so he stopped talking. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and suddenly said with a serious face: "What I just praised Wang Jiefu, you must not tell Wang Jiefu, otherwise , I can’t spare you.”
"Ah...oh...I know, I know, I will never tell you."
Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, this pair of enemies.
But Sima Guang can't leave now, because Zhang Fei still has to take his article to the workshop to compare and see which words in the article do not have movable type. If not, they must be modified. ….
After all, no one here can change Sima Guang's article, he can only change it himself.
Fortunately, Sima Guang also paid attention to this and tried to use more commonly used characters. In the end, there were only twelve characters without movable type, which was fewer than Xu Zhiqian's articles.
After the modification, Sima Guang took his leave.
"Sanlang, what should we do?"
Hou Donglai looked at Zhang Fei eagerly.
Zhang Fei asked: "What should I do?"
Hou Donglai asked: "Are we printing the articles of the great scholar Sima, or are we printing the articles of Lady Xu?"
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "It's all printed. Zhi Qian's words are still as agreed before, but the price of Sima Grand Scholar's article is ten cents more, and the number of printing is five hundred more, and the edition is also kept. If it’s popular, continue to print more.”
Hou Donglai nodded, "Yes, I understand."
After giving the instructions, Zhang Fei also took the carriage home.
When he returned home, he informed Xu Zun and his daughter about the matter.
Xu Zun is also a literati and can understand Sima Guang. If he were not the person involved, he would write it himself. Writing articles is the biggest hobby of literati. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Qian'er, you are just throwing a brick to attract others!"
Xu Zhiqian complained: "Zhang San, since Sima Grand Scholar has written it, don't print my article. This will make people laugh at me."
She also has self-awareness. If she puts her articles together with Sima Guang's, hers is bullshit. The gap is too big.
"Different."
Zhang Fei said: "Grandmaster Sima wrote it completely according to his own wishes, and I dare not interfere. In comparison, your article is more to my liking, so I decided to print it all."
Sima Guang's article contained too much private information, and it also promoted his ideas of cutting expenditures and hiding wealth from the people. Xu Zhiqian's article was something they had discussed, and the two were actually different.
Xu Zhiqian said anxiously: "You...you didn't lie to me, right? If I am laughed at, I will settle the score with you."
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry, I will publish your articles separately. The small roadside tea shop will publish your articles, and Rubaifenlou will publish the articles of Grand Master Sima."
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "This... this is more or less the same."
She didn't want to come up with this name.
She felt extremely embarrassed just thinking about it.
If Sima Guang and the others didn't bother to write, then she didn't think it mattered, but if Sima Guang did, then she felt it was very embarrassing.
...
There is a saying that if you raise an army for a thousand days, you can spend it in just one moment.
The craftsmen at the genuine bookstore have been engaged in research and development and preparations for more than half a year. Although they are not short of wages, they have not made any money. Everyone is not sure whether they can make money by doing research and development every day. ?
Now that business has come, everyone is as if they have been given a shot of blood, risking their lives to do it.
Soon, the first paper newspaper in history was published.
At the same time, Zhang Fei also released news and planned to put the newspaper into various restaurants and teahouses for sale.
Shopkeepers from major restaurants immediately came upon hearing the news.
Everyone is not stupid.
The tabloid in front has been fermenting for many days, and the sudden response is really eye-catching.
Full of gimmicks.
If other restaurants have it but your restaurant does not, then the loss may not be just the numbers on paper, but even the status may be affected. ….
Hou Donglai, who has been printing for many years, finally experienced the feeling of being a master.
He told the shopkeepers very arrogantly to keep the money and send someone here on the fourth watch three days later to pick up the goods.
It's that simple.
Inspection?
hehe!
Do you like to buy it or not?
Those shopkeepers honestly kept the money without saying a word. They didn't even know that they bought Sima Guang's article.
"Shopkeeper, how are you doing?"
Hongzhong asked quietly.
Hou Donglai said: "All are sold."
"What? All sold?" Hong Zhong said in shock: "It's so expensive, will anyone buy it?"
This price frightened their craftsmen. This has already reached ten times the profit.
Hou Donglai said: "Maybe we sold it cheaply, and the shopkeeper came, but no one said it was expensive."
Hong Zhong scratched his head when he heard this. How could a commoner like him understand this? It was incredible.
This is much more profitable than printing books.
It's really crazy this time
Got it.
...
Three days later, Bai Alum Tower.
Early in the morning, Fan Yong and his son took more than 20 maids and stood in front of the door to welcome guests, because in the past two days, all the private seats and private rooms in Bailun Building were booked.
And all of them have great backgrounds, including Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Cao Ping, Gu Ji, etc.
They are all court ministers and relatives of the emperor.
In the end, they were all judges from the third division.
Because this matter also involves the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, when everyone heard that the other party was going to fight back, they definitely wanted to find out.
There were even many scholar-bureaucrats who sent people to order them themselves, only to get the reply that they were sold out and they could only go to restaurants to see them.
Han Qi just sat down, ignoring the beautiful scenery outside the window and the delicacies at Bailunlou, and said directly to Fan Yong: "Didn't you say there are tabloids to read? Where are the tabloids?"
At his age, he was not in the mood to come to breakfast early in the morning just to read the newspaper.
"Mr. Han, please wait a moment."
Fan Yong quickly ordered his maid to get a tabloid.
Han Qi held the tabloid, "This...is this a tabloid?"
Fan Yong quickly replied: "Yes, you can read it after opening it."
Han Qi nodded and opened the newspaper. This definitely opened up a new world!
Fan Yong asked cautiously: "What would Mr. Han want to eat?"
This is a restaurant, not a library. We can’t just read newspapers!
"ah?"
Han Qi glanced at him, then at the old servant beside him.
The old servant quickly pulled Fan Yong away and ordered a few of Han Qi's favorite breakfast dishes.
Han Qi was quickly fascinated, but as he looked at it, he suddenly frowned, "This style of writing is quite familiar, as if I have seen it before."
His eyes moved to the end and he said in surprise: "Sima Junshi? It turns out this was written by Sima Junshi. No wonder it looks familiar. Why...!"
He quickly called Fan Yong over again.
"Exceptor, how come this article was written by Sima Junshi?"
"When I return to Mr. Han, the common people don't know." Fan Yong explained: "We only found out early this morning that the official bookstore printed two copies this time, one written by Mrs. Xu and the other by Written by Grand Bachelor Sima."
"Ms. Xu?"
"That is Xu Zhiqian, the daughter of the temple official."….
"oh...."
Han Qi nodded, "Excuse me, please bring me a copy."
Fan Yong said: "Yes."
Originally Xu Zhiqian's article would not be published in Baifanlou, but Fan Zheng used his connections to get a few copies.
Because the protagonist of this matter is Xu Zun, and Xu Zhiqian must represent Xu Zun. This is the real response.
Han Qi is also a great writer. Normally he would look down on Xu Zhiqian's articles, but today he also wanted to take a look.
After Fan Yong left, Han Qi looked at it carefully again, nodded frequently and said: "As expected of Sima Junshi, this writing style is very sophisticated, not bad, not bad, the writing is really good."
The style of Sima Guang's articles is simple and unpretentious, but they contain very clever skills. They are many times better than those old marketing accounts, even though they are doing the same thing.
He cleverly focused on taking into account the landlord's ideas, which meant that they all felt that this was very unfair to the landlord, so this meeting was held.
Let me tell you very tactfully that we are not targeting the landlords, but thinking about them.
If the landlord is not considered, then there is no need to discuss it.
As for Xu Zun's statement, it was just a casual mention during the discussion. He even wrote down the original words he said at the time, indicating that they did not agree with it, including Xu Zun, who did not say anything more.
Then he began to explain his own views, cutting expenditures, hiding wealth among the people, and governing the world together. He connected these three concepts with the issue of tenants, such as cutting expenditures and hiding wealth among the people. He also suggested that the imperial court imposed too many taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Not all landlords
's fault.
As for co-ruling the world, he directly came to flatter him.
He said that the scholar-bureaucrats all regarded the world as their own responsibility. When local difficulties were encountered, many scholar-bureaucrats stepped forward. How could it endanger the stability of the place? He also gave an example that Sima Guang read books every day. To illustrate, this was what he was best at.
This method has no effect on the scholar-bureaucrats. They are just worried that there will be villains who will stir up trouble.
Anyway, it’s full of private goods.
And his ideas are in the same vein as Fan Zhongyan and others, and Han Qi is one of the Qingli gentlemen, so of course he agrees.
I was fascinated by what I saw, but as I watched, I suddenly felt that there was a lot of people outside.
Han Qi couldn't help but get up and go outside the private room. Looking around, he saw that the building was already full of people, either court officials or retired scholar-bureaucrats at home.
Everyone was holding tabloids, talking eloquently and arguing endlessly.
This made Han Qi's thoughts seem to go back to his youth, when he and Fu Bi and other friends had high-spirited discussions on current affairs. How beautiful it was at that time.
The consumption in this Ailan Tower is not cheap, and there are few in the court who 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. This tabloid cannot One look.
Suddenly he saw Zeng Gongliang and others sitting in the elegant seats, 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 had no interest in food and clothing, and to be honest, he couldn't afford it. After all, he still had to pay the mortgage. While he was there, he went to the tavern close to the imperial city, ready to take a look, and then went to work on the way, but unexpectedly he saw Sima Guang's article.
This early in the morning... it affects my mood!
"As expected of Grand Bachelor Sima, this article is really well written!"
"I really don't know why the officials have to believe in Wang Jiefu, when the ideas of Grand Scholar Sima are more reasonable."
...
Wang Anshi sat alone in the corner holding the newspaper, covering his face with the newspaper, reading Sima Guang's article, and listening to the praise of Sima Guang from the next table. It was really off-putting, and he was so angry that he couldn't even eat breakfast.
Is this article well written?
I really don’t know what to say.
I bother!
96.
