First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 680

When Hu Yan saw Water Margin, the whole person was dumbfounded, yes, just stunned.

"You, are you the whole book?"

Zhang Shuning said, "I don't know, are there many versions on the market?"

At this time, Xu Guan suddenly said: "Of course there are many, the most common ones are until Juyi, and there is a version dedicated to Wu Song. I know that Mr. Qi has a version, which contains the content of Fang La, the treasure is incredible, I will test it. He wouldn't lend me the first place."

Zhang Shuning was stunned for a moment, a child like him who was rolling around in the stack of books really couldn't understand the hardships of his classmates.

"That said, I should be all-in on this one, including the expedition of Liao, the expedition of Fangla, and the content of Tian Hu and Wang Qing."

"What?" Hu Yan exclaimed again, "Tian Hu, Wang Qing? This, what is this? I've never heard of it!"

Xu Guan was even more surprised, "Brother Zhang, can you let me see, you just lend it to me, I, I won't take the first place in the test, I will give you the first place!"

Zhang Shuning clenched his fists in anger, he wanted to beat this guy, I want to be the first in the exam, I don't need you to release water!

"This part was mentioned by my father to Mr. Shi, and then Mr. Shi added it and revised it."

"what!"

Hu Yan was dumbfounded, "Your Excellency knows Mr. Shi? Have you talked to Mr. Shi about the Water Margin? Did you give Mr. Shi any advice?" Hu Yan didn't know what to say. He heard the teacher from the school say that Shi Naian It turned out that he was a subordinate to Zhang Shicheng. After Zhang Shicheng's failure, he could not live in seclusion.

No one was seen except close relatives and friends.

Who is Zhang Shuning's father?

Could it be that he is Zhang Shicheng's former department?

Both of them have the surname Zhang, don't tell me...

Hu Yan's mind was confused, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became... Fortunately, Xia Zhifeng said, "His father is a bookseller, a very big bookseller. Mr. Shi writes books, so he must know him."

With this explanation, Hu Yan finally stopped thinking about it.

Although these babies are very smart, they are too young to see more problems for a while. They just feel that Zhang Shuning is becoming more and more mysterious and unfathomable.

But compared to Zhang Shuning, his collection of books here is simply amazing.

Hu Yan was a well-known reader in the school. As long as he was given a book, he would be able to sleep and eat, and if he didn't finish it, he would never eat or rest. Fortunately, he read books very fast, otherwise the child would have fallen into the root of the disease.

But no matter how fast he read it, he was still sighing in the face of the book in this room.

"This is the Song version of the book. It's really a good thing. The printing is so exquisite." Hu Yan held one of them and couldn't help but sigh.

"This, this is the seal of the Yuan Dynasty official? This is the collection of the Yuan court?"

When Hu Yan shouted, Jing Qing and Xu Guan both came over, stunned.

Zhang Shuning was calm at this time. He didn't want to reveal his identity. Although it was impossible to keep it a secret, it was not the time yet.

"The management of the Yuan court is chaotic, and the collection of books has long been scattered among the people. In addition to the war, there are still many nobles in the Yuan court who can't survive, so just code the things in the sellers, not to mention the collection of books, even if they are antiques and treasures, they are sold casually. My father It's a bookseller, and I really have a lot of collections."

Zhang Shuning didn't want to continue entangled in his own affairs, so he told them: "This kind of second-hand book market should be found in Peking, even in Suzhou and Hangzhou. As long as you have money, you can buy a lot of books."

"Money!" Hu Yan was startled, and finally remembered the purpose of this time.

"We made literacy cards together, and then sold them for money. If you have money, you can buy a lot of books... Right?"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "That's what I'm thinking about, but I don't know if you're interested?"

Hu Yan said: "Why are you not interested! I don't want to go out here."

Xu Guan also nodded vigorously, "That's right, as long as I can read a book, I can do anything!"

Jing Qing couldn't wait, "What do you say? Hurry up, don't waste time!"

Good guy, these guys can't stand it anymore.

Zhang Shuning figured it out and divided the work for them: First, five or six hundred commonly used words must be selected, and there must be idioms allusions, preferably a corresponding story, and then the story should be linked to the Water Margin.

For example, Chao Gai is the king of Tota, and then it is extended to the four kings. The four kings manage the weather and rain, and then fall to the people who take food as the sky.

Another example is Song Jiang, nicknamed Hu Baoyi, who is loyal forever, Guan Yu rides alone for thousands of miles, and he is righteous with benevolence and righteousness!

In this way, a character, a feature, an ancient person, or a phenomenon, and finally falls into an idiom, a saying, or an allusion.

Being able to read and understand some cultural common sense is like turning things like the Three Character Classic into pictures and putting them together with popular reading materials such as the Water Margin.

It is definitely a very advanced concept to put education in entertainment in the Ming Dynasty. The reason why Zhang Shuning can think of this, he vaguely remembers that when he was a child, his father held him, told him stories, taught himself to read... From the sun, the moon, the stars, to eating, drinking, and having fun, all over the world, those days were true hapiness.

It's a pity that I have grown up, and I can't stick to my father like my second brother. I have to do something serious.

After Hu Yan and the others heard Zhang Shuning's thoughts, they nodded immediately.

"It's a good idea. Xu Guan and I will paint and let Jingqing...Xia, Miss Xia find the words and allusions together. Then you come to review and approve." Hu Yan was two years older, and the arrangement was well organized. Zhang Shuning also agreed.

The next few guys got busy.

They run to Zhang Shuning's house every day, sometimes even taking a lunch break... Making cards is the second most important thing. The key is that the books are too fragrant.

These books are all-encompassing, and you can even find things like Qimin Yaoshu and Mengxi Bitan who are very partial. This is not to mention, every few days, a batch of newspapers will be delivered, and the days above are all within ten days.

From Yingtian to Jiangxi, even by water, it would take several days to buy newspapers there and deliver them. How much money and skill would it take?

In order to fear them being surprised, Zhang Shuning could only tell them that his uncle was a businessman, and he was running a business in the Ganjiang River, transporting some supplies casually.

It's really not troublesome, after all, the sucrose that Zhu Ying sent to the capital is calculated by 10,000 tons, not to mention other brass and wood.

Hu Yan and a few people are also numb, a bookseller father with hands and eyes, and a great uncle. Next, do you want to say that your uncle is very capable, and your whole family is very capable?

Anyway, Hu Yan has also thought about it. They are very happy to make cards and read books. Don't ask about it if you shouldn't know it yourself.

He even sternly warned Jing Qing and Xu Guan not to leak the matter of the Zhang family, and not to tell anyone! Can't even bring people here.

Two people say we are stupid?

There are so many good books, at least we can't reveal them to others until we read them!

What if you come and rob us?

They are a little bit conscientious, but they still ignore one thing. They work so fast, and they have completed the card in ten days. There is nothing to do.

As a migrant worker, I can't even catch fish at work, so I'm still unqualified!

Zhang Shuning packed up all the cards, a total of 110 cards. In addition to the 108 generals, two more people were added, one was Chao Gai, the king of Tota, and the other was Qiongying, a female general.

After double-checking, everything is perfect.

The next task is to print.

Zhang Shuning looked at them and said seriously, "Do you want to build a bookstore?"

Xu Guan immediately shook his head, "The bookstore doesn't make money, I heard that the bookstore next to our school has a very difficult life. All students buy it. If it is expensive, someone will buy a copy, and then the big guys will come together. Copying books... By the way, Brother Hu likes to do this, and he even sells manuscripts!"

Hu Yan blushed, "I, I can't help it either, it's just a subsidy, a subsidy!"

Zhang Shuning said, "I don't see it that way. The imperial court has promulgated a decree on compulsory education, and the number of students enrolled in various places will definitely increase... Our Jimin School is a step ahead, and the literacy card is only the first item. If we can print some exercises Gather, do some explanations, and it will definitely sell well.”

Hu Yan was stunned, "You're right, but it costs money!"

Zhang Shuning said: "I do have a sum of money in my hand, about a few thousand guans! Can you find a way to buy the bookstore?"

Hu Yan thought about it seriously, "We can't come forward on this matter, the children will suffer. I'll find a way to find someone to help take it down... Don't worry, it won't exceed 3,000 yuan of treasure... Can you take it out?"

"Um!"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "It's not too much, but the lower the better, after all, you have a share here!"

While speaking, Zhang Shuning handed the four contracts to the four people.

Each person is 10%, Zhang Shuning owns 60%.

As the son of the first Minister of Commerce, Zhang Shuning wrote this thing with ease.

Undoubtedly, his ability made several people sigh again.

This student Zhang, how many secrets do you have?

Hu Yan went to work without saying a word. Three days later, he sent back the news that the bookstore was successfully obtained, and with the bookstore, Hu Yan also hired two senior classmates.

When Zhang Shuning inquired, the two of them even had a story. As we all know, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which was passed down to the Yuan Dynasty. There was a man named Wang Zhen, who made wooden movable type and also invented the wheel typesetting plate... No accident. , which is the most advanced printing method in the world.

Coincidentally, Wang Zhen is also from Jiangxi Province. The ancestors of these two students have participated in the printing of 100 Jingde County Annals and have rich experience.

Originally, it was very difficult for the descendants of artisans to study, but after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the decree of promoting education allowed them to enroll in school.

And Zhang Ximeng advocated invention, and these two boys concentrated on the inheritance of the family and came up with a whole new set of printing tools...

"The bookstore's 2,300 qian... It can't be lower. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com I gave them a thousand qian for their printing tools!" Hu Yan reported to Zhang Shuning.

Zhang Shuning nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The most crucial thing has been resolved, and the next step is to start printing... About a month later, the first batch of 30 sets of literacy cards was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

That's right, I've heard this stuff all the time.

It wasn't Zhang Ximeng who did this. He wasn't so boring. It was Zhang Shuning's good uncle, Zhu Ying.

Lao Zhu stared at it for a long time, with unconcealed envy on his face, what a good boy!

He's only so big, he's very capable, stronger than your father!

"As a reward of one hundred taels of gold, we bought it." Lao Zhu said again: "Give each prince and princess one set! Let them study hard! Don't embarrass us!"
