Chapter 187: Characteristics of the Times

Shi Zhongli looked at the mirror in his hand and shook his head and sighed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 He can definitely take out a hundred times, but he can't spend it on it, who knows what else is exciting on it? Mei Xun has always been a stinky and beautiful person, well-known from far and near, why should he compare with him?

The sun was slowly rising to mid-heaven, and those who were still wearing thick winter clothes were already feeling the heat.

Xu Ping took a few people from the yamen of the editing institute and walked out of the yamen of the three divisions with a smile and walked towards the state bridge.

Next to him was Li Zhang, who specially came to the Yamen of the Third Division and asked Xu Ping to take him to buy something. Su Er had already inquired about what would be sold in the shop, and wrote a list by herself, asking Li Zhang to buy the things back according to the list. Not all the things on the list are for Su'er, most of them are for Li Yong and his wife. The more this is the case, the more Li Zhang is speechless, and he can't let his wife's filial piety become empty. But how can you have so much money in your hands? It's not good to borrow from Xu Ping, originally Xu Ping's family made everything was given to him, how embarrassed to open this mouth again. After thinking about it, I had to go to my rich cousin Emperor Zhao Zhen, and cheekily asked for dozens of taels of gold, and went to the shop to handle the goods in his arms.

When I arrived at the royal street, I saw that there was a crowd above, all of them were going to the state bridge, and many people were still discussing the goods sold in the shop. Xu Ping was also happy to see that his thoughts were not in vain.

After walking for a while, not far from the state bridge, I saw that the students in the Guozi Prison on the other side of the bridge also crossed the bridge in twos and threes, Xu Ping's heart moved, and said to Wang Bin beside him: "This year's imperial examination also has a Goryeo Binggong student, who has passed the provincial examination. Nowadays, Bingongsheng generally does not stay in the imperial court as an official, and it is time to repatriate to Goryeo. I told you about the Goryeo Sea Road and business exchanges, I wonder if I can ask them to tell Goryeo that the imperial court has this meaning? ”

Wang Bin said: "This is not difficult, this year's Bingong has my people, so it is naturally easy to say." In addition, Cui Han, who was with me back then, had already worked in Goryeo, and he was able to do some small things. ”

In that year, Taizong made a northern expedition to the Khitan and ordered Han Qi's father, the Korean envoy to North China, to contact him as the flank of the Great Song reinforcements. Although Goryeo was only a fictional story at that time and did not make much effort, the two countries also became connected. Wang Bin and Cui Han were both Bingong students who came to the Song Dynasty after that, entered the country to study, and were given Jinshi and the first rank in Chunhua for three years. Bin Gongsheng will generally be sent back after having a Jinshi background, only Wang Bin stayed because he was originally from the Central Plains, and has been an official in the Great Song Dynasty until today.

The Bingong students who came to the Great Song Dynasty were born in Goryeo from a powerful family, and they went back with the Jinshi background of the **** Shangguo, and they will have a good future. Wang Bin, who went back that year, was Cui Han in the same year, and now Goryeo is also a high-ranking official and can speak.

Xu Ping nodded and said, "That's the best." The cane sugar of Lingnan Cane Sugar is increasing year by year, and it is only sold in the country, and the profit is also limited. Although the Pang book was intended to be sold to Nanyang, the trade route was blocked by the occupation of the city, and it was difficult to open up for a while. Although Goryeo is a small country, it is close to the sea and has convenient sea routes, so it can always sell some. Another third division has made a lot of new goods, and one day it will be sold outside. There is Wuzhang River in the capital leading to Liangshanbo, which is not far from Mizhou, and it is feasible to set up a city in Mizhou. It can also trade with the outside world, and can connect the two Guangzhou-Haihai routes in the south of the Yangtze River, so there is no need to squeeze the Bianhe River for transportation. ”

After these times, the officials of Yong Langlu have been put in place, and their strength has been greatly strengthened. With the help of the expansion of the cane sugar business, Jiaozhi has been firmly controlled, and it is just slowly waiting for the day when the melons are ripe and settled, and the land of the county will be completely incorporated into the territory.

Champa and the Great Song Dynasty were friendly because there was such a common enemy as Jiaozhi, and now that the threat of Jiaozhi was gone, the relationship with Champa became tense. Champa was in control of the Nanyang trade routes, and its position was extremely important, which was one of the reasons why Jiaozhi persistently attacked there again and again. The Great Song Dynasty needed the Nanyang trade route more than the previous Jiaozhi, and the relationship between the two could not be harmonious until the Champa was completely surrendered.

It takes time to digest the newly occupied land, and it takes time to build up one's own strength, and during this time, it is necessary to find other overseas markets. Although the tax of the city shipping division is into the inner treasury, if the goods of the three divisions are sold, the three divisions will also have a considerable income, which is why Xu Ping is concerned about this.

Wang Bin knew that Xu Ping had already had such a mind, and he was afraid that he would not give up if he didn't achieve his goal, so he kept it in mind. This is also a good thing for him, the Wang family is a Goryeo family, and by taking advantage of this opportunity, he can also earn wealth and consolidate his position.

As an official in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Bin actually has little contact with his family, but that family affection is still there. And when he came back, it was also the layout of the Wang family, which meant that there were three caves of the cunning rabbit, and once something happened in Goryeo, there was a place to take refuge.

Walking through the Great Xiangguo Temple, you will see the lively new shop.

Wang Gongchen whispered: "I don't know what good things are in it, and I don't know if it's expensive." ”

Xu Ping smiled: "There are expensive ones, and naturally there are cheap ones, as long as they are what they like, just buy them." ”

Recently, Xu Ping found a money-making errand for Wang Gongchen, and Duan Yunjie's book printing shop opened, and the first time he printed it was a collection of words between the five generations, and asked Wang Gongchen to proofread and write a preface, and the income was very good.

Folk printing can't be the same as the three divisions and the Guozijian, printing some subsets of scriptures and histories, or agricultural books and medical books, so serious. According to Xu Ping's meaning, Duan Yunjie should print some things that ordinary people like to see, and the first choice is the popular words between flowers, these tones of wind and snow are the most popular among literati and brothels.

Originally, according to the impression of his previous life, Xu Ping wanted Duan Yunjie to print some novels, but he found the scripts of several speakers on the market and looked at them, so he could only shake his head and forget it. Not to mention the market, this kind of book can't be printed with the identities of Xu Ping and Duan Yunjie, otherwise it will have to ruin your reputation.

In this era, the script has just begun, and this kind of popular writing is not vulgar, but the problem is that the language is too ugly, explicit and vulgar, and it is completely unsuitable for written communication. If the speaker says it there, it means that the literati doctor will sometimes smile when he hears it, and there is nothing wrong with it. But once it is written in words, the perception is completely different and unsightly.

In my previous life, I watched "Water Margin", and I already felt that there were some heroes in it who did ****** things, but at this time, I watched those primitive stories, and I realized that a lot of beautification had been carried out in "Water Margin", and a layer of "walking for heaven" was also applied.

In this era, Xu Ping only has one perception, that is, to show the badness of human nature nakedly.

For example, the heroic story, basically there is no foreshadowing, that is, a certain heroic character came together today, and when he went out, he saw a guest officer in the distance, wearing silk and satin, and he must be a rich man. Envy in his heart, he entered the guest's accommodation at night, killed him with a knife, and then got money, how to spend all day and wine.

Or is there a staff member in the capital, how to be rich, how to live a good life, the conversation is turned to be targeted by someone, enter the house at night and sweep away the property, killing his whole family, or how to spend all the time.

It's even more terrible to say that the market situation is even more terrifying, directly which person went out and saw a charming little lady, and he liked it very much, either robbed or abducted. Then there is the piano and the song, which is the joy of harmonizing fish and water.

The article is full of people on the road who open human meat shops, sell human meat buns, and make money and how to live happily.

This is really talking about thieves, without any disguise, without any embellishment, just so direct.

Most of the speakers are dealing with the idlers of the capital, that is, the homeless people, which is exactly the story they like. Law and morality are the things they hate the most, if they fall in love with other people's money and beautiful women, they will rob, steal, and abduct, as long as they are in their own hands, they don't care about other people's perceptions.

There were a large number of displaced people in the Northern Song Dynasty, forming a displaced society, and speaking novels were developed among these people. The morality of these people has become the morality of the script, which is fundamentally anti-order ******. If any speaker said in the end that the heroes who robbed money and women were punished, then no idler would listen to them and add to his own blockage.

Where does Xu Ping dare to print such content? Duan Yunjie didn't even want to watch it.

It is impossible for Xu Ping to write the stories he learned in his previous life, the audience base is different, which one will watch you? The story of Liaozhai is faced with poor scholars, where is the audience base in these years? is not an official eunuch, how many people will still insist on taking the imperial examination in their prime of life? It is the right thing to go to farming and doing business early to improve your life. As for the stories of those poor scholars and rich ladies, the audience is also readers, but who do you sell them to? When there were only a few dozen people in the country.

The current audience of popular stories is idlers, and what they want to see and hear is to rob homes and houses, with impunity, and at ease. In popular form of persuasion, you persuade a ghost to go! Unless the government prohibits the distribution of other content.

Choose to choose, you can only print some boudoir songs such as flower words, and you can also have an audience. Either it's a magical ghost or a frontier monster, but Xu Ping has no ready-made content to learn from.

printed a book of flowers, although he also made some money, Xu Ping was worried about Duan Yunjie's next business. These word collections can't always be printed again and again, and the content resources will soon be exhausted, so what will be printed again?

In the end, I'm afraid that it will still fall on a group of pavilion ministers, they are idle and literary, as long as Xu Ping induces them with his heart, he can always make suitable content to make money. (To be continued.) )
