Chapter 280: Handkerchief
In later generations, Lin Haoran worked in book sales and was deeply aware of the power of knowledge. The size of the book market alone can exceed 100 billion yuan in retail sales a year.
What is Hallym-in Temple?
It is a gathering place for the most cutting-edge talents of this era. Even if he is not a first-class jinshi, he is also the most top-notch second-class jinshi, and those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are the best talents in the Ming Dynasty.
In Lin Haoran's opinion, this Hanlin Courtyard is simply a huge treasure.
But how to monetize this treasure as quickly as possible? The first thing that comes to his mind is books, and the potential buyers are the most purchasing power of the era.
With such a strong talent resource and a huge market like a blank sheet of paper, Lin Haoran does not believe that there is a possibility of failure. As long as he implements his plan, he will definitely be able to make his publication "Talking about the Past and the Present" an instant hit.
"Will this work?" Listening to Lin Haoran's plan, Mao Dianyuan asked worriedly.
"Definitely!" Lin Haoran gave a positive answer, and then gave a more detailed introduction.
"Talking about the Past and the Present" is divided into several different columns, including celebrity biographies, current affairs reviews, and interesting history, among which the "Interesting History" column is taken as an example, and it is planned to select Su Shi's short stories for publication.
In the second year of Song Renzong's Jiayou, Su Shi, who was only 20 years old, went to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination for Bian Liang. During the examination period of Jingshi and other examinations, there were several conceited people who looked down on Su Shi when he was young, looked down on him, and deliberately teased Su Shi.
The six people prepared six appetizers, and invited Su Shi to drink, and Su Shi happily went.
The content of the wine order is that each person says an allusion to a historical figure, and contacts that kind of dish, so that the dish belongs to whomever eats, and the order should be from the older to the younger. The other five people echoed in unison: "Good, good, good!" ”。
"Jiang Shang Weishui Fishing", the oldest man took the fish with a proud face; "Qin Qiong Chang'an sells horses", the second one took away the horse meat with great spirits; "Suwu Beihai Shepherd", the third took away the mutton without showing weakness; "Zhang Feishu sells meat", the fourth took away the pork unhurriedly; "Guan Yu sells tofu in Jingzhou", the fifth calmly took away the tofu; "Zhuge Liang grows vegetables in Longzhong", the sixth one confidently took away the vegetables.
All the dishes were taken away, and the six lifters were about to eat and drink happily, when Su Shi spoke: "Everyone, it's time for me to make a wine order!" He uttered six words: Yingzheng annexed the six countries. Unhurriedly, he brought the six dishes to himself, and then said with a smile, "Brothers, please!" ”
……
In Lin Haoran's view, no matter in any era, the entertainment factor will be welcomed. And the anecdotes of these celebrities will inevitably become a good selling point of "Talking about the Past and the Present".
Xu Wei originally had doubts about the feasibility of this plan, but after listening to Lin Haoran's overall plan, he immediately gave him a thumbs up and said, "This magazine will be popular!" ”。
Although others were skeptical, they did not stand up against it and accepted Lin Haoran's assignments.
The task is difficult and easy, some people have to write hundreds of words of articles, for example, Xu Wei wants to write a current affairs policy, and some people only need to explain that the think tank is due to a large cyst on the neck of the strategist Gongzi.
In order to launch this first shot, Lin Haoran also wanted to publish a poem on the front page of "Talking about the Past and the Present", but he didn't know whether to hand it over to Xu Wei or let him complete it temporarily.
After assigning the work tasks, it was already time to let go of the office, and they agreed to meet again tomorrow morning, and everyone dispersed.
Lin Haoran walked at the end, explained some work to Sun Jixiang, and then left. Unlike these officials, the officials and officials all lived in the Hanlin Temple.
When he walked out of the inspection hall to the courtyard, he couldn't help but look at the reading hall opposite. Although it was still far away, he knew that if he wanted to get there as soon as possible, he needed to start working hard right now.
The reason why he started the publication "On the Past and the Present" was not only because of economic considerations, but also because of political considerations. Like some well-known publications in later generations, when articles are published on them, not only do they have no remuneration, but they also have to post money into them.
Now he plans to use this as capital, and he has begun to accumulate political capital in order to enter the lecture hall in the future.
Walking out of the gate of Hanlin Academy, I saw the figure of the tiger girl from a distance, so I walked over. When the two met, he took her little hand and walked in the direction of the house together.
The tiger girl's face was red, and there was a hint of a smile hidden between her eyebrows, which seemed to be in a good mood. didn't take a few steps, Lin Haoran bought a candy man for the tiger girl, which made the little girl even happier.
It's just that the tiger girl who licks the sugar man walks slowly, as if she was immobilized by the sugar man. Lin Haoran had no choice but to squat down and take the initiative to carry the tiger girl.
Although the body of the tiger girl is small, it has some weight, but the body of the meat dun dun looks very cute. It's just that when he is proud, his hanging feet will sway a few times, and it will inevitably touch his clothes.
"Brother, did you ask?" The tiger girl stopped licking the candy man and suddenly asked.
Lin Haoran was stunned for a moment at first, but immediately reacted and said: "I don't know how much Yulu and Zhitang Silver have, but there are four taels of silver and firewood. If it is not enough for our family's expenses by then, will your brother find a way at that time? ”
"Brother, what is silver, firewood, soap, silver? How can there be so many four taels? The tiger girl glared at her, and her face approached Lin Haoran and asked in surprise.
When Lin Haoran heard this, he knew that this girl didn't know the salary structure of Ming officials at all, so he told her about Yulu, Zhitang Yin, and Yinchai and Yinchai one by one.
Hu Niu listened to this, her mouth couldn't help but open slightly, and then sighed: "Brother, you seem to have a lot of money, much more than I thought!" ”
Lin Haoran smiled helplessly, she dared to misunderstand at noon, it turned out that this little girl was so easy to satisfy.
As they spoke, a palanquin overtook them, and a cyan handkerchief suddenly floated in the wind.
The tiger girl who was licking the candy man reacted very quickly, her waist was straightened, and as soon as her little hand grabbed it, the handkerchief was held in the palm of her hand, and she shouted anxiously to the front: "Your handkerchief has fallen, your handkerchief has fallen!" ”
What made Lin Haoran extremely speechless was that this girl seemed to be in a hurry, and while shouting in her mouth, she was holding the sugar man's hand and patting him on the shoulder, daring to really call him as a horse.
It's just that the sedan chair in front didn't stop, and the pace was faintly accelerated, and the two brothers and sisters were immediately thrown off.
Lin Haoran stopped chasing, and the tiger girl suddenly stopped shouting, and said seriously: "I recognize the sedan chair, it lives in Huaishu Hutong next door to us, and I will return it to her!" ”
Lin Haoran heard her so determined, but said funny: "Aren't the sedan chairs almost the same?" How do you think it's the sedan chair in the alley next door? ”
"Recognize the sedan flower! I think it's amazing! The tiger girl shook her feet a little proudly, and suddenly said: "This handkerchief has words!" How deep is the love? The sunset in the mountains is shining in the deep autumn rain. ”
