When the Pan brothers and sisters walked into the horse road in Fengle Middle Building, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, Wu Haogu, Zhao Ji, Mi Youren, Ji Yi, and Master Li all arrived, and they were sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

Su Dalang, Mo Niangzi, and Gao Yu also arrived, but they did not sit down.

Mo Niangzi is "unpacking" on the record stand with several sellers, that is, the seller and her inspect the box containing the goods sealed in advance, and then open it by the seller himself after it is not recognized, take out the objects inside, and place them one by one on the record booth on a dozen or so painting cases with the word "Hui" - Mo Niangzi is empty-handed on the stage, and will also go off the stage empty-handed later, there is no possibility of playing the package plan. Everything is in plain sight. If it is auctioned out, the buyer can take it on stage after paying the money, or Wu Haogu and Su Dalang can personally deliver the sale to them and collect the money at the same time.

Gao Yu took a few of Zhao Ji's guards, made up to look like a rich man, and sat in the corner to secretly protect Duanwang.

Su Dalang was dressed as an outsider, standing at the only open west entrance of the Middle Building Road, greeting guests with a smile on his face.

Not everyone can get in, and not if you have money!

Today's singing fair is the origin of Christie's Calligraphy and Painting Hall in the future, and Christie's Calligraphy and Painting Hall is a very elegant place, and those who can join the club are literati and scholars, and local tyrants want to enter, so they have to pay a large amount of annual dues...... It seems that you can still go if you have money? Well, that's for later, not now. Because it is still the stage of Christie's pretending, only when it is forced to be installed, can it be sold at a good price!

So now the lord who has money and no quality (official products), how many personal friends are smashed, Su Dalang still refused with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, the seats inside have been booked, there are the queen mother's brothers, there are Cao Youwei, there are Wang Tingshi, there are Han Zuowei, there are Pan Yuma, there are Zhao Liuhou, there are Wu Wugong, there are Mi Xiangyang, there are Li Longmian, and Cai Chengzhi, there are Jian Shangshu, there are Xue Cuiwei, and Liu Daguan and Tong Daguan...... You see, there's someone at every table. ”

This is really amazing, the people who can sit in it are all big people, either dignitaries or big officials, and there are actually the two brothers of the Queen Mother and Cai Jing and Jian Xuchen, who are just popular!

It seems that there are a few stinky money owners who can only be kept out.

But the outside is actually not bad, Fengle Lou is a garden-style restaurant, in the courtyard between the fifth floor of Fengle, planted a lot of osmanthus and plum, but also built a lot of pavilions, sheds, all surrounded by brocade, and the little maid to serve back and forth. You can also order food and drinks, call a kabuki, and listen to a song while eating - of course, people sitting outside can also shout prices, but they can't shout indiscriminately, and they have to pay a deposit of 20%.

In addition, people sitting in the pavilion outside, as long as they shout the price and pay the deposit, they can go to the middle building to see things. However, there is no place for them in the middle building, so they can only stand and watch...... Doesn't this not only look down on people? So if you're really rich, you'll spend money to buy a membership in the future.

When the Pan brothers and sisters arrived, the small pavilions and small sheds in the courtyard of Fengle Building were almost full, and the female envoys and the little servants shuttled back and forth, carrying good wine, good food, snacks and tea, and sent them to the pavilions and sheds like water.

"It's so lively!" Pan Xiao'an was really a little surprised when he saw this scene.

He came for Duanwang Zhao Ji, but do these people in the courtyard know that Zhao Xiaoyi is Duanwang?

What are they making a fuss about?

"Brother Dawu is really capable," Pan Qiaolian clapped her hands and said, "You can actually operate such a situation!" ”

"Hey, is that what he's capable of?" Pan Xiao'an can't hear this now, "That's a situation made by Zhao Xiaoyi, Mi Yuanhui, Su Dalang, Ji Yizhi, Master Li and Mo Niangzi together." ”

Pan Qiaolian looked at her brother with a smile, "Brother Dawu can screw these people together to do things, isn't it his ability?" ”

Pan Xiao'an was stunned, as if this was the case!

Wu Haogu said that he can't do anything else except paint, he can't take the imperial examination, he can't join the army, and he can't do business too shrewdly, right? I didn't make any money last time I went out with Sister Eighteen.

But how did you make such a big business this time?

Just today's singing sale, this Christie's can earn more than 20,000 yuan, right?

The real daily income is gold!

……

Of course, it is Wu Haogu's life goal to fight for gold, and the gold is almost more than 300 catties, more than 50,000 taels, which is equivalent to more than 500,000 copper coins. The daily income is more than 500,000, which is 200 million a year...... Two small goals are there!

However, earning two small goals can't save the panicked Great Song Dynasty, and only by burning these two small goals can we save Zhao Ji, who can do anything but can't be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The first project that required to burn money has now begun, and the name of this project is University!

In order to run a university, you must first have teaching materials.

Just a few days before the Fengle Lou singing sale, Mi Youren's father Mi Fu returned to Kaifeng Mansion from the Lianshui Army. He also brought back a full thirty volumes of "Dream Creek Writings".

After hearing that Wu Haogu and Zhao Xiaoyi and his son Mi Youren were going to disassemble, sort out and publish this strange book, Mi Fu didn't say a word, and immediately sent "Mengxi Pen Talk" to Christie's.

In his old man's opinion, this is a sycophant that can only be figured out by geniuses!

"Dream Creek Writings" is a strange book and a miscellaneous book, and the dismantling and sorting of this book is actually a kind of creation, turning a hodgepodge of books into more than a dozen "professional books" in different categories, which is a university question!

Moreover, it is impossible for "Dream Creek Pen Talk" to be distributed in large quantities, who will buy most of the thirty volumes? But after splitting it into a dozen books, it can be printed and distributed in large quantities.

At that time, Shen Kuo was just one of the authors of these dozen books - splitting and sorting out and adding content from other books was a kind of creation, and the people who presided over this work, such as Zhao Ji, Mi Youren and Wu Haogu, were also authors!

This is equivalent to making Duanwang Zhao Ji the author of more than a dozen books...... Write a book and say, what a great knowledge is this?

And Wu Haogu thought about it almost the same as Mi Fu, no matter what, he had to pull Zhao Ji into the editing of university textbooks.

Only in this way can "college students" become officials, and only by being able to become officials can universities attract enough students.

So he took the opportunity to meet Zhao Ji today, and Wu Haogu showed Zhao Ji the catalog of "university textbooks" that he and Mi Youren, Wei Sihai, and Xie Shangbin had spent a lot of effort compiling.

"That's interesting, who came up with this?"

Zhao Ji got the catalog, and without looking at the words in it, he was studying the book that wrote the catalog.

Because it's a wire-bound book!

In these years, the books of the Great Song Dynasty were only in butterfly binding, folding warp binding and whirlwind binding, and there were no thread bindings. Among them, butterfly binding is the most mainstream - this is the closest to the thread binding method of album binding, which is to fold the pages of the book according to the middle seam, the side printed with the text inward, fold it in half, and then use the middle seam to align the pages of the whole book, stick it to another wrapping paper with paste, and finally cut it into a book.

This binding method has three major defects, the first is that only one side has words, and the other side is white paper, which causes a lot of waste; The second is to form a book by sticking the spine of the book with paste, which is easy to scatter and is not conducive to reading and preservation; The third is that it is very cumbersome to bind, which further increases the cost of book printing.

If the butterfly-bound book is changed to a thread-bound version, it is not only conducive to preservation, but also the cost can be at least halved.

"Of course, my master came up with this," Mi Youren said beside him, "and as soon as this method comes out, everyone in the world will be able to benefit from it." ”

"Yes, this line bound book is indeed firmly booked, and it is not easy to fall apart." Zhao Ji doesn't have a deep concept of money, and only thinks that the books in this line are less likely to be scattered than those in butterflies.

Then Zhao Ji opened the pages of the book again and read it carefully. The content inside is a table of contents, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren divided the "Mengxi Writings" into categories, and summarized the originally messy content into: literature, arithmetic, gewu, etiquette, military science, law, history, geography, medicine, music and law, calligraphy and painting, astronomical calendar, agriculture, mulberry and fishing forestry, construction, equipment, metallurgy, miscellaneous, dialectics and other eighteen categories. According to Wu Haogu's plan, "Mengxi Writings" will be divided into 18 parts, and at the same time, many other related books will be added, so as to sort out 18 "university textbooks" from shallow to deep.

Zhao Ji, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren will become the chief compilers of these eighteen textbooks......
