Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 273
Cui Xie earned three talents to help write popular science painting books. Zhu Zhishan was most gratified. He took the initiative to hold a small meeting at their home and discussed with Li, Wang and Bian how to divide and cooperate.
The three new authors were dumbfounded when they saw him.
He is the author of “Young Jinyiwei”, and his name is clearly printed on the covers of the two books. Although the previous book “Capture Li Guang” is a bit outdated, the latter book “Dou Chen Yun” is fresh on the market. As the new book shop goes out, the two capitals are still spreading “Zhuzhishan” to the neighboring provinces. Talent name.
However, Li Mengyang and others really didn’t expect that the set of “Juvenile Jinyiwei” was actually written by Cui Xie, the talented Zhu Zhu.
Isn’t he a great master of Confucianism who has profound Confucianism and who can master the principles of heaven? Isn’t he a Qingliu minister who is worried about the country and the people, full of food taxes and military affairs? Isn’t he a famous teacher who takes care of the younger scholars and prints articles for the students?
How did he come up with the idea of printing this new set of Jinyiwei comics, a man who is full of classics and essays, who doesn’t know romantic, and doesn’t even write poetry at the essay meeting?
If you look down on people so much, it’s hard to say in front of Choi Xie. Li Mengyang searched for Zhu Zhishan and Wang Shouren secretly, asked them how Cui Xie became the editor-in-chief of “Jin Yiwei”, and asked why Wang Shouren, an insider, didn’t tell them.
I knew that he was not a Taoist scholar. When I wrote an essay that night, I had to make him write a good article that was serious and convincing, and let it be appreciated slowly!
Zhu Zhishan smiled and said, “Dont blame Wang Xian, Master Li, this is really your own eyes. Dont you know the relationship between the master of Juan Zhai and Master Cui? Dont you see that Xie Zhenfu in the Jinyiwei painting book is Master Cui His neighbors, the two uncles are his disciples?
It is not clear to others that Li Mengyang had impeached Zhang Jiayou for excessive petting when he first entered the court, and he knew the identity of Zhang Jiayou best.
However, Zhang Guozhang stayed at home to maintain health and cultivate immortality. The uncles love to fight corruption. Not only do they have no grudges with them, they are also regarded as high-quality relatives favored by civilian officials. At that time, he was impeaching the Queen Mother Zhous relatives who had not yet named the duke. Zhang Guozhang should not be named the duke first, and the emperor gave the Zhang family too many imperial houses, and nothing else could be faulted.
When he wrote the memorial, he also thought that the Zhang family could become a clear stream among their relatives since the Ming Dynasty three generations. It might be related to Cui Yuegus persuasion and education…
But I didn’t expect it to be related to the point where even “Young Jin Yiwei” was compiled by Choi Xie!
Zhu Zhishan didnt see any other place to teach him: “You should have guessed by looking at those characters. This set of picture books was saved by him based on the case of his relatives and friends. However, the manuscripts of his book were written by the talents of the world. Yes, the person who wrote it has his own ambitions for the country, so the farther and farther he writes, the more stories he writes, the more fruitful…”
In the future, when you write, you will still add the teachings you want to write and teach the people to listen to. Wouldn’t it be regarded as a declaration of our scholars’ ambition to teach the people?
With the predecessors teaching them by hand, Li Mengyang and the three quickly learned the skills of entraining private goods into the script. Fortunately, Cui Xie had to pass the final review. He passed it as though it didn’t matter, and deleted too many clips. Finally, he added the part of popular science knowledge he wrote and taught people to print it into a book.
The purpose of writing this book is to popularize science, and the technical part of the picture is extremely heavy.
Whether its the popular science pig raising technology “Jin Yiwei Front Biography: The Case of Xing Qian Hu Cleverly Killing Pigs”; or “Gong Sun Sheng Dian Dou Cheng Xian” trying to explain soybean hybridization; or “Tang” which promotes pipeline water delivery and drip irrigation water saving technology. The elder wisely draws the water from the sky; “Zhuge Liang builds a gray city in one night” which promotes the method of building a longevity house in Wang Zhennong’s book… No matter how wonderful the story is, it is two or three, three or four sentences to make a picture. Only the popular science part is a picture by sentence, or even a few pictures by sentence, so fine that the seed pit is dug a few inches deep, and a few seeds are sprinkled in it.
I have taught a few talented people to read the comics, and everyone feels confident that “I can farm/feed pigs/build a stucco house” in their hearts. They clenched the book and asked Cui Xie: “It really is so simple. Can you do these things as long as you follow the instructions in the book?”
These are things that he had seen people do with his own eyes and recorded countless data. How could it not work? He even painted how much lime powder to disinfect when raising pigs, how to bury pottery water pipes with drip irrigation holes to reduce water leakage and evaporation, and how to mix grass stems and paper tendons when making plaster bricks. It’s for people to make it after reading the book.
Cui Xie smiled and nodded: “If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself. Others are a little more troublesome, but legal plaster can be made in all seasons. Let’s take brick chips, white clay, tung oil… Try it?”
The house of the Cui family was bestowed by the emperor, and it was also called Xie Ying’s exquisite repair. It was a pity that the snow-white gable walls were painted with plaster. There was an old house in the house where Li Mengyang was renting. Several of the walls were peeled off. A few people gathered together to buy a few materials written in the book, pounded paper tendons and grass stems, blended putty, and tried with a trowel. Painted it once.
After the wall is dry, it is really smooth and flat, and it won’t be burned even if you take the torch close to it. Generally, it won’t fall off after two blows. It looks like a good wall.
It really works! If these wooden houses are covered with such a layer of stucco, they do not know how to prevent fire and how to live in them for a long time!
Several talented scholars conducted experiments with their own hands, and became more confident in the popular science comics they wrote, and they became more active in writing manuscripts. Even Wang Jiusi, who was in the Imperial Academy’s seminary, was so busy that he had to take advantage of his time at work to compile a few pages of “Planning and Sending Love by the Machine”.
However, after the editor-in-chief Cui finished reading the volume of “Building Grey City”, he moved his mind away from the crops and switched to studying cement.
In fact, the things used in Wang Zhen’s legal plaster are very similar to cement, which aroused his thoughts. In the countryside, there are still pottery, porcelain, brick dust mixed with lime to make earthen cement. Push it backwards. The raw clay and lime used to burn ceramics… It seems that there is something else. They are burned together in the furnace. Should I be able to burn out cement?
I just dont know what temperature to burn, and Im afraid that the quality of the fired cement is not good. After building the wall, it will fall down and hit people… No wonder that the roofs of ancient houses are empty. Smashing the whole board down can really kill people.
Don’t rush to use high-tech products such as bamboo-reinforced concrete and cement prefabricated slabs. The cement burned out is like plaster, so just paint the walls.
Cui Xie approached Xie Ying and asked him if there were any merchants who could burn bricks at home, and asked them to try out a local cement.
Wang Zhens “legal-made plaster” looks quite similar to the raw materials of cement, except that it takes half a year to dry the bricks made of plaster into hard bricks; his cement is like the method of putting brick dust and lime. , But dont want tung oil and glutinous rice syrup. Ask the craftsman to find other things that are easy to solidify after drying and mix them in to make quick-drying cement.
The materials and proportions are really right, and the water should be poured in two or three days to dry. Just look at the hardening speed and you will know that it is successful or not.
Xie Ying thought for a while and said, “Isn’t it necessary to burn a kiln? You don’t have to go to the countryside. I ask them to make a small courtyard and try out the production at home. We two often stare at each other. They dare not be lazy and get out. It’s faster.
Choi Xie immediately agreed.
Also, it is too late to find a kiln worker when the cement is to be fired.
The house in Xies house was filled with empty yards. Xie Ying randomly found a yard where he could see the situation clearly when sitting upstairs in the library, and asked someone to buy lime, old bricks, mill and stone mill, and raise his head. The mule pulls, grinds and grinds the bricks, mixed with lime and various viscous materials to adjust the cement.
The master patted his head to think of anything, the servant had to put his energy to do it.
Thanks to Cui Xie’s successful experience in the past few years, the people of the Xie family have an unconditional trust in him. The Xie family was so busy with a word for him, they didn’t think that their master had been lured by the neighbors and broke, and they made some messy things to cause trouble. On the contrary, he felt that Mr. Yue Gu must have gotten some kind of fairy recipe, and their family helped to get it out, and it could be touched by the light of the fairy.
Just listen to the name of cement, it is a layer higher than ordinary plaster!
The Xie’s servants all joined in the excitement, and even the cooks had to go to the yard to see and give directions. Master Cui simply moved to the library building in the middle of the garden, where he supervised the work of the Xie family and his own author.
After July, He and Ge returned to Beijing with his wife Xie. The two were still in the old house of Cui Mansion and lived with Ge Heng and his wife. The brothers still went to Cui’s house to do simulations from time to time.
In August, in the Beizhili Township Examination, he won the 120th Juren, but Heng failed. He didn’t care too much, so he simply donated a prison student and went to the Imperial College to sit in prison, completely banning the idea of scientific research. And brother He became the focus of the Cui family’s top and bottom, and went to the lecture hall for a mock test every three days. He was more like a prisoner than his second brother.
After the Lu Ming banquet, Ju An Zhai launched a new series of “Daily Agricultural Economics” series.
The real name is actually called “The Sutra of Getting Rich”, simple and crude, easy to understand, and the people like to hear it.
But when the authors heard of the name, they all rose up and demanded to change the name. Li Mengyang generously talked about the benefits and persuaded Cui Xie to change it to “New Interpretation of Agricultural Economics” or “New Agricultural Book”, in short, you can’t bring the word “rich”! The word “get rich” carries a tacky habit of eager for quick success and quick profit, greedy for wealth, not something written by their scholars!
Cui Xie couldn’t use such a good name as “Chentai Jing”, which is the seven treasures of CCTV. However, he was afraid that the authors would go on strike and had no choice but to choose another program.
The daily agricultural economics, friends of farmers know this set of agricultural economics that needs to be read every day, which is not bad.
He changed the name of this set of books, and the authors were quietly relieved, Zhu Zhishan said straightforwardly: “It’s nothing else, I have been favored by Master Cui’s glasses, and you have taught me to pass the exam. The reason for writing a manuscript for you. If you have to name this book “The Ching to Wealth”, I will have to use a pen name to write it.”
The three Li Mengyang had the same idea. They are all true talents, and they are self-reliant on their literary talents. They feel that the readers must convince them of their writing, and they can’t pick up their shortcomings. They all printed their real names on the head of the comic like Zhu Zhishan to show off their identity.
Choi Xie also rarely added a name to the comic strip. In the albums that wrote about the techniques he researched, a line of “Technical Guidance Cui Xie” was added on the inside back cover. Those albums that changed the wording of Wang Zhen’s “Nongshu” were annotated with the original name and written Which chapter to quote from.
The content of this set of comics is not as compact and exciting as Jin Yiwei, the climax is repeated, but the selling is better. They printed thousands of sets on the market, and they were digested in the capital before they were sold into the surrounding prefectures and counties. Many readers lined up in front of the study, waiting for them to print a new one.
Choi Xie didn’t understand why this book was so popular.
This set of books is aimed at farmers. In order to reduce costs, the paintings are not very delicate except for the agricultural science-related parts. The printing aspect is also as simple as possible, except for the cover, it still uses the color printing technology of the gluttonous version, which is filled with black and white embroidered portraits, without even adding a color line.
He was really puzzled, and embarrassed to ask others, he secretly asked Xie Ying: “Why are so many people reading? I thought that people in Beijing wouldn’t want to read such books, and I planned to ask people to take them to the countryside and sell them to shopkeepers. “
Xie Ying smiled and said, “Who told you to name it “Daily Agricultural Economics”? If it is still called “Zhi Fu Jing”, out of ten people who buy it now, eight of them refuse to buy it.”
It is not the young people who read “Jin Yiwei” who read this book, but the old gentlemen who claim to be moral models. They also like this fresh color picture book, but they are not good-looking, and they can only endure the Jinyiwei comics that are called “funny”. This set of books has the word “Agricultural Economics” in the name, which can be regarded as a book for the economy and the people, don’t they have to rush to buy it?
The country is agriculture-oriented, and they are not looking at the fragrant or curious stories, but the way to keep the people in peace. So don’t look at what this comic strip is written in are the same as ordinary novels and scripts on the market, but it contains the methods for guiding farming, herding, and mulberry cultivation, which can be placed on the desk in a grand manner!
Cui Xie pondered and shook his head and smiled: “So, I guessed the target market wrong. Daming scholars have a plot of farming and reading heirlooms, and selling “Nongjing” is a sentimental bonus…”
The book called Juanzhais family cant be printed, so lets cooperate with others according to the original method of printing the Three Kingdoms. Go to bookstores to cooperate with local bookstores, and let local big books use their printed internal page embroidery images. They are only responsible for selling engraving and color printing covers…
He doesn’t plan to make money from the “Daily Agricultural Economics”. The real goal is to promote the technology.
Cui Xie frowned slightly, thinking about the issue of cooperating with bookstores in various places, and suddenly the center of his eyebrows was held down, and he rubbed the wrinkled Sichuan pattern a few times. He looked up, but saw Xie Ying staring down at him, with deep and clear eyes as if to see into his heart: “Your book is now the book on the desk of an official Confucian, what else is there to be sad? Bother, dont think about them, just think about me.”
Yes. As long as he saw Xie Ying, he really didn’t want to frown, and smiled unconsciously.
