Back to Jiyun Society, it was dark, Lin Jian hastily read the manuscript, Zhao Shuhan in order to save paper, the manuscript was written very densely, fortunately Zhao Shuhan is very beautiful, even if there are many alterations, additions and deletions, the whole manuscript is very comfortable to read.

In order to prevent accidents on the way when the manuscript was sent to the bookstore for printing, Lin Jian called Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze to the wing room when he returned to the house, and asked them to copy the manuscript carefully, and asked Liu Yue'er to light two more candles in his room; Lin Jingzhong had a lot of things, so he didn't let him participate in the matter of copying the manuscript.

"If you don't take a penny to engrave this book, you really have to pay him another hundred taels of silver?" Lin Jingzhong and Lin Jian sat in front of the desk, took the few pages of the manuscript copied by Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze and looked at the candle, and asked Lin Jian suspiciously.

"Of course it's true," Lin Jian said with a smile, "I've already asked Zhao Hu to send the remaining eighty taels of silver." ”

"It's really a loss to Ben." Lin Jingzhong was a little painful, one hundred taels of silver was a lot of money, which was worth five years of being the head of Zhao Shuhan's Jiangning Criminal Department.

"The manuscript may be a loss of old money, but Zhao Shuhan is really knowledgeable, and there has never been a monograph on the matter of prison, but Zhao Shuhan's manuscript explains the matter of prison affairs thoroughly, so this manuscript is worth a thousand gold to the position of prison in the world," Lin Jian laughed, "I am going to be a prison officer, pay him a hundred taels of silver, do you think it should be?" ”

"It should be," Lin Jingzhong also felt that Lin Jian was going to be a prison officer, and with such a detailed manuscript to guide him, he didn't need to lead the prison guard by the nose, so he didn't have to spend a hundred taels of silver unjustly, and asked, "However, do you really want to take it to the bookstore to be engraved?" That's a lot of silver. ”

"Tick!" Lin Jian said categorically, "The publication of the manuscript in the world is not only beneficial for others to use to govern prison affairs, but also for others to further study prison governance. This is not only the matter of prison management, but also other affairs in the world: accumulating experience, writing books and passing them on to the world, and further studying and proposing enhancements and improvements for future generations, especially this kind of miscellaneous learning, which requires generations to explore, summarize, and innovate. I don't have those stubborn thoughts that the laws of our ancestors can't be changed in the slightest, and you can't either. ”

"......" Lin Jingzhong's eyes fell on the manuscript under the lamplight, he didn't think as far as Lin Lian, and when he heard Lin Lian talk about it, he thought about it.

Liu Yue'er sat in front of the desk with a lamp and candle cutting, she used to open a tea hotel in Shiliang County, and often listened to three or five scribe officials sitting in the shop drinking and boasting, Lin Lian said this truth but never heard anyone talk about it, she sat there, peeking at Lin Lian's side face with bright lines under the lamp, straight nose bridge, thinking that his face was really good-looking, Qian Xiaowu, who copied the manuscript over there, felt that the candle flame was a little dim, and called her, she "oh" sounded, and moved over a little weakly to help Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze pick the candle wick with scissors, Cut off the blackheads to make the candle flame brighter.

At this time, Zhao Hu came in and said that Zhao Shuhan was coming, Lin Jian stood up excitedly, and said, "Invite him in......" said this, changed his mouth again, and pulled Lin Jingzhong up, "Jingzhong, you also came to meet this Lord Zhao, you are really a learned person," and said to Liu Yue'er, "Please trouble Miss Liu and Yun Niang to prepare two more dishes, Director Zhao came over at this time, and he shouldn't have eaten yet......" Pulling Lin Jingzhong and going directly to the front yard.

When Zhao Shuhan and the old servant walked through the city, Zhou Pu was teaching Zhao Hu and his younger brother Mengxiong to practice boxing and kicking in the front yard, Zhao Hu entered the main courtyard to report, he and the old servant stood in the front yard and watched Mengxiong, a half-grown boy, punch by the dim light, listening to the neighing of horses in the backyard, thinking that there were several good horses hidden in the Lin Tie house.

In these years, to measure whether a family is strong or not, one looks at the mansion, and the other looks at the good horse, which is the same as the reason for looking at the mansion first and then looking at the famous car after a thousand years. Jiyunju can only be regarded as an ordinary family in the dustpan alley, and the scale and momentum are far inferior to the Baiyuan where Su Mei lives, but the six mounts in the house are first-class good horses, adding a lot of color, and there are not many people in Jiangning City who can have six such high-headed horses at once.

Zhao Shuhan was listening carefully to the neighing of horses in the backyard, watching Lin Jian and a young man walk out of it, and hurriedly said: "There are many places in the manuscript that do not meet my liking, but I am too lazy to write for a while, and I have not revised it after procrastination, I don't know when Brother Lin will use the manuscript, thinking that I am uneasy, I rushed to point out the fallacy with Brother Lin overnight......"

"That's very good, Lin Tie is still afraid of disturbing Brother Zhao," Lin Tie grabbed Zhao Shuhan's arm and said, "I am also a little impatient, and I also know that the manuscript is precious and cannot be lost, and when I come back, I will find two family members to copy the manuscript, and Brother Zhao will come over to guide me personally, that is really good, I also have a lot of incomprehension about prison management, and I can also ask Brother Zhao ......" and told Zhao Hu to take care of Zhao Shuhan's family.

Zhao Shuhan followed Lin Jian into the wing room of the main courtyard, and watched Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze both holding a fine pen and copying carefully, Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze's small block characters were good-looking, and they were copied carefully. Only then did Zhao Shuhan confirm that Lin Jian had no other intentions, but really took a fancy to his knowledge, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"This Lin Jingzhong is a brother in my clan, and he is the manager of Jiyun Society that I invited," Lin Lian introduced Lin Jingzhong to Zhao Shuhan, "Brother Zhao's manuscript printing, I will hand it over to Jingzhong to be responsible, if Brother Zhao has any requirements for engraving books, you can tell Jingzhong to ......"

Zhao Shuhan and Lin Jingzhong bowed, and said to Lin Jian worriedly: "Miscellaneous studies are not obvious, printing books will definitely lose money, I think about it, I feel uneasy." ”

"Brother Zhao, please take a seat," Lin Jian invited Zhao Shuhan to sit down in front of the desk, and said, "For thousands of years, miscellaneous studies have never been obvious learning, and the books are prevalent in publishing and engraved, either sage moral articles, or pear garden songs, these things, I can see these things, but I want to engrave Brother Zhao's manuscript, by no means to please Brother Zhao or for any other purpose." I happen to have a lot of puzzles in my heart, Brother Zhao is a person who asks about the university, Brother Zhao is here, I want to ask Brother Zhao for advice or two. ”

"I don't dare to ask questions in college, there are all the families of Xixi Society, where does Shu Han dare to call him knowledgeable?" Zhao Shuhan said modestly.

"Those are all sages and sages who do moral articles, and what they do is enlightenment, and they are all meritorious learning. Whether the study is good or not, whether the moral article is good or not, Lin Jian does not dare to say anything; "Over the years, miscellaneous learning has been of great benefit to the governance of the family and the world, but it is not obvious, and it is even regarded as an obscene skill by the Xianxue sect, which is despised, and the craftsmen are directly classified as inferior households in the world...... Whether this tradition is good or not, Lin Jian did not comment. The Lin family is a Shixun clan, but it is not shy about businessmen, although the things of businessmen have always been cheap - but the business of businessmen, let us understand a very simple truth, our family business to make more money than others, fraud is not a long-term thing, integrity is a fundamental, in addition, is to make our business more delicate and durable than elsewhere, which is the knowledge of miscellaneous craftsmanship. From small to large, knowing the subtleties, Lin Tie wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the truth is actually very simple, whether moral articles are useful for the rich country and the strong army, Lin Tie is not good, but there is one thing that Lin Tie understands very well, miscellaneous studies are not obvious, and it is useless to talk about a rich country and a strong army. ”

Zhao Shuhan sat there, contemplating his eyebrows and thinking deeply, although he had put all his thoughts on the manuscript of prison management in the past four years, of course, prison management was a small category in miscellaneous studies, but he had not thought about the relationship between miscellaneous studies and obvious studies, and he had touched Lin Lian's words very deeply, and he forgot to say anything for a while.

"Is the art of farming cheap? In the eyes of those sages, they are afraid that the art of farming is very cheap, but even the sages have to eat two meals a day before they have the heart to read the sages' articles, "Lin Jian is trying to vomit as fast, and it is usually difficult to find an object that can vomit quickly, and Zhao Shuhan gushed endlessly, "The land of Jiangdong is rich, and there are more than two stones of real estate in one season, and it can grow two seasons a year; The land of Western Qin is barren, only one season a year, and the real estate in one season is not even half a stone - what kind of knowledge is in it, the sages will not bother to study it in detail, but Lin Jian feels that this knowledge is more worthy of careful study than all the moral studies in the world. Does Brother Zhao think that Lin Lian's words are very rebellious and have common senses? ”

"Wrong," Zhao Shuhan said excitedly, "Don't be afraid of Brother Lin's jokes, although Shu Han is cold, he is also a person who thinks highly of himself. ”

"Don't dare to be, Lin Tie is just expressing his chest," Lin Tie said happily and continued, "Brother Zhao's manuscript, I still have something I want to trouble Brother Zhao?" ”

"Please, Shu Han should do it." Zhao Shuhan also felt very happy to listen to Lin Lian's words.

"I have read all over the book of agricultural administration, two copies were printed in the previous dynasty, and one was printed during the reign of Emperor Taizong in the early years of this dynasty, two hundred years have passed, but no new agricultural book has come out, is there no gain in the art of farming? In addition, in the past, I only knew what it was, but I didn't know why. Later generations can only learn from experience, and can not learn from the method of research, which is also a pity," Lin Tie said, "Brother Zhao's manuscript can be called the culmination of the world's prison governance, Lin Tie also hopes that Brother Zhao will write this book's ideas, classification methods and then write another book, if future generations want to add to Brother Zhao's prison management skills, there is a method \/treatise can also be based on the map to ask for a ......"

"Methodology?" Zhao Shuhan had never heard of this term.

"Well, yes, it's the method," Lin Jian didn't mind using the term in advance, "On the basis of summarizing experience, many miscellaneous studies teach us the method of governing the world and doing things, and where does this method come from, but few people spend time discussing it." Lin Jian believes that one of the reasons why miscellaneous studies are not obvious is that miscellaneous studies lack a detailed and coherent internal system, such as farming, water affairs, river affairs and other miscellaneous sciences have something in common, and these commonalities, although the predecessors have discussed them, are scattered and disorganized, lacking a clear and perfect system......

"......" Zhao Shuhan was originally a learned person, but it was difficult to accept too much for a while, listening to Lin Shu's books, frowning and thinking carefully.

"Lin Tie has never had any great ambitions, and what he just said is not something that can be completed in one or two generations," Lin Tie said, "Lin Tie just has an idea, or it can be said to be a volunteer, if there is such a collection of manuscripts for the study of miscellaneous crafts, Lin Tie is willing to publish it to travel the world." Even if the principal is lost, Lin Jian is willing to bear it; If there is a surplus, the profit will be shared with the owner of the manuscript......"

Miscellaneous studies such as agriculture, water affairs, and construction are also highly valued by the government, and even if the number is scarce, there are scholars in every dynasty and generation who specialize in research, after all, the daily operation of the empire is inseparable from these, but the technical inheritance of many other industries is mostly passed on by masters and apprentices within the craftsman. Even if every generation, every industry and industry has ingenious craftsmen and products that can be called peerless works of art, but these are the crystallization of experience inheritance, and there are few systematic and structural studies, which also makes it difficult for some products that can be called works of art to be complicated elsewhere and at other times, and it is difficult for people to imagine those perfect industrial products that come out of the industrial assembly line after a thousand years.

Lin Bin's way of thinking is to the modern civilization after a thousand years of edification, he has to know more deeply than the people at this time where the social civilization and the strength of a country or a nation are really rooted, not that there is no sword and crossbow in the world, strong soldiers and wise generals, but sharp swords and strong crossbows, strong soldiers and wise generals have no replication, and the simple social and political structure and economic structure are easy to collapse.

Lin Jian doesn't feel that his two lives have directly brought anything more useful to the world, no matter how advanced the technology is, it may be lost, and no matter how advanced the system is, it will collapse because it does not adapt to the times, and there is no most advanced technology and system in this world, and he always feels that people should be wiser and better at learning.

Lin Jian was unwilling to spend two lives as a mediocre person, and at this time, he secretly cultivated power, mainly for self-preservation, and also had the desire to make a great reputation, and he also needed to do something else. Of course, these things seem to have no obvious benefits at the moment, and even have to be done at a loss, but he feels that the meaning of doing these things is no worse than how much money he makes, how many private soldiers he secretly raises, or how many people he erects, and sometimes these things complement each other.
