The preface written by Lin Yanchao can be regarded as hugging Zhu Xi's thigh, so that no matter how the book is written, he is invincible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, Lin Yanchao still has a little bit of Zhu Xi's descendation, and he claims to be the successor of his Confucian mantle, which is insignificant and careful.

Lin Yanchao's confidence in this book increased a little more, and after proofreading the manuscript overnight, he went to Jianyang Bookstore early the next morning to find the shopkeeper Qin.

In the Jianyang bookstore, it was bustling with people.

After Lin Yanchao prayed, he soon saw the shopkeeper Qin. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Lin Yanchao, he said enthusiastically: "Oh, this is not Lin Xianggong, I just looked at the magpie by the window and kept calling, and I thought there was something happy, it turned out that you were here, what is the matter with me?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and replied, "Shopkeeper Qin, you're polite, do you remember what I told you about writing a book before?" ”

Shopkeeper Qin said enthusiastically: "Remember, remember, I've been thinking about it, the last time your academy's five hundred volumes of idle grass collection were sold out, and many people came for your young showman's article." I heard that you are also virtuous and square at the moment, and now the scholars of our mansion, who don't know the three words Lin Zonghai. ”

Although Lin Yanchao knew that the words of the shopkeeper Qin were a bit exaggerated, how could we say that we are still well-known in this land of ten counties.

After speaking, the shopkeeper Qin introduced Lin Yanchao into the private room and casually passed by the printing workshop.

Looking at the focused posture of the carving seal worker, Lin Yanchao was a little awe-inspired,

The engraving and printing technology of the Ming Dynasty has been more developed, and the application of wooden movable type and copper movable type is proficient. Because of the merits of the imperial examination, the popularity of scholars surpassed that of the Song Dynasty, and the number of books printed in the country is said to have reached one million.

In this era, the culture is prosperous, and China has gone from bamboo carving to the present step by step.

After the two of them sat down in the private room. The guy served tea to the two and retreated, and the shopkeeper Qin picked up the tea and asked with a smile: "Is Lin Xianggong here to publish a collection of essays or a collection of poems?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's the experience of reading Shangshu in the next point." ”

Shopkeeper Qin almost squirted out a mouthful of tea when he heard this, and asked in a gaffe, "What?" ”

Lin Yanchao handed his manuscript to the shopkeeper Qin.

Shopkeeper Qin took it and looked at it for a while, then put the manuscript down and said, "Lin Xianggong, I'm afraid this book won't sell!" ”

"Why?"

The shopkeeper Qin said: "At present, the bookstore is not published. The market is not for sale, and the scholars are not for business, and our bookstore is of course mainly based on business. ”

"Isn't that something I have to do with karma?"

"Yes, but at the moment, you are not a scholar, a jinshi, a hanlin, and your reputation is not as good as those great Confucians, and you are annotating the scriptures, I'm afraid the readers will not be convinced."

Lin Yanchao said: "Shopkeeper Qin, I understand everything you said. But what if I insist on publishing it? ”

Shopkeeper Qin hesitated for a while and said, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to lose some money." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Shopkeeper Qin is a businessman, I know, since this is the case, Shopkeeper Qin, you publish this book, if you lose a lot, I will make up as much as you want." ”

Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly said, "This can't be done. Lin Xianggong is willing to publish a book with me, because he can afford to look up to me Qin, how can I let you advance money? ”

The two deliberated for a while. In the end, it was agreed that two hundred volumes would be published temporarily, one volume and three volumes. As for the profit and loss, the two of them divide it in half.

Lin Yanchao directly took the twenty taels of silver that he had prepared earlier and gave it to the shopkeeper Qin, and when Chen Xinggui gave him two hundred taels of silver, he thought about making books in the future. At that time, I thought that if the bookstore did not publish it, he would publish the book completely at his own expense.

Shopkeeper Qin enthusiastically sent Lin Yanchao away and said, "Lin Xianggong, leave this matter to me, you can rest assured." You don't have to come to anything, I'll go directly to your house to find you, it's all about to try, how dare you work for your drive. That's right, I'll leave it all to me. Prepare for the exam with peace of mind. ”

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Qin." Lin Yanchao left immediately.

The guy on the side said: "The shopkeeper, I have never heard of Xiucai, and I dare to make a fuss about the Four Books and Five Classics, why do you bother to publish books for him, and you are so respectful to this student." ”

Shopkeeper Qin slapped the guy in the face and scolded: "You have been here with me for five or six years, and you know why you have always been just a little guy, and you can't be a big guy." This business is only about looking at money, how can it be big? ”

Shopkeeper Qin scolded the young man a few times, and suddenly he saw a man in silk standing there under the steps, so he immediately left the man and stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "What kind of wind blew you here outside Cheng Yuan?" ”

Suddenly met, Cheng Yuanwai was a little embarrassed.

When he came to this street to run errands today, the moment the shopkeeper Qin sent Lin Yanchao out, Cheng Yuanwai happened to be watching from the side of the road.

That sentence of the township test made him feel a pang in his heart. This kid actually took the township test to solve the quota, and he won the test last year, and he will go to the autumn this year. Although it is only to go to Qiuqiu, it is not a Zhongju person.

Cheng Yuanwai had mixed feelings in his heart, watching the other party go away, Cheng Yuanwai had to admit that he hadn't seen him for two years, and his nominal son-in-law was a little more mature than when they first met.

"Cheng Yuan's ......"

"Oh, Brother Qin, it just so happened that I came here to do something, but I didn't expect to meet by chance."

"Then dare to be kind, come upstairs and let's have a drink!" The shopkeeper Qin warmly invited.

Cheng Yuanwai was a little moved, and he also wanted to ask Lin Yanchao what was going on with the shopkeeper Qin, so he smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

As soon as Cheng Yuanwai turned around, he heard a voice behind him: "Shopkeeper Qin, please forgive me for being reckless, I forgot to explain something to you!" ”

"Oh, Lin Xianggong, you're here again." Shopkeeper Qin turned around with a smile.

Cheng Yuanwai suddenly shrugged his vest and stood in the middle of the street, he hesitated to turn around at this time.

Cheng Yuan thought externally, and when they met for a while, they smiled and said, hehe, don't come to the son-in-law, or just nod and don't speak. He is a talent now, at least on the surface, he knows that he is polite and will not be rude.

Cheng Yuanwai thought about it while turning around, otherwise the three of them would see each other on the street, and one would always have his back to the other side, this style of painting is really not normal.

Cheng Yuanwai turned around and looked at Lin Yanchao, fixed, and was about to speak.

But seeing that Lin Yanchao was already the first to take the lead, he said with the courtesy of the younger generation to see the elders: "See the outside of the process!" ”

Seeing Lin Yanchao take the initiative to salute, Cheng Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason he was a little unwilling, feeling that Lin Yanchao should not be so calm.

Cheng Yuanwai nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's Xian...... Virtuous nephew! ”

Shopkeeper Qin smiled beside him and said, "Oh, it turns out that the two of them know each other, but I don't know if it'......"

Cheng Yuanwai interrupted the words of the shopkeeper Qin, and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Qin, you talk about it first, and suddenly remember that there is an important matter, so take a step first." ”

Saying that, Cheng Yuanwai hugged his fists and walked away.

Shopkeeper Qin felt that the relationship between the two was a little delicate, but he didn't care about it, but when he saw Lin Yanchao's back in the distance outside the Cheng Yuan, he couldn't help but nodded. (To be continued.) )
