Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Specialization in Art

Being a man is hard, being rich is even harder.When the money was scarce, I calculated carefully, but now it’s a little bit more, and I’m not reconciled to putting it in the treasury for nothing. Only when it flows can it increase in value, but the direction of flow is a problem.In later generations, you can invest in bonds and stocks, but now there are not so many projects. It is not a problem to blindly invest in food, drink, play, and entertainment. But if you invest far away, you are afraid of losing money. You have a headache. In a word, you have two money to burn. of.

When I was working in the bank, I used my left hand to go out and my right hand to go in. The money I spent was much older than the little savings at home now.As for the country's money, I never felt a pity when I let it go empty, and I didn't worry about whether I could get it back. I didn't take it seriously until it was linked to my bonus commission, so even though I was a business section chief, But I didn't master the skill of making money from money, and I regret it when I think about it.

"Be safe, you only have a few dollars, what kind of investment do you want to invest in?" Lan Ling showed disdain for my question, "I'm afraid that others will not know that you have the same amount of money, and you have time to use your brain to study hard." As he spoke, he took a thin booklet from the armhole and handed it to me, "Sample booklet, the first booklet, please have a look."

Oh, the first time it was published, it was published in ancient times. I was so excited, holding the booklet in my hands a little trembling, I lost my usual composure, and I didn't even open the book cover after a few busy days.

"It's turned upside down," Lan Ling helped me to turn the book right, and turned a page with a smile, "The engraving is so fine, it's a great honor, the 'Women's Training' that Master Wei practiced back then didn't even have a positive edition. "

"There is a difference between men and women, 'female training', of course the books women read are inscribed." Looking over and over again, on the gray-white book cover, the four characters "Basic Arithmetic" in official script are written solemnly and plainly, without extra cover illustrations , you can tell it is an academic work at a glance, simple and elegant.Did not say.The little "Wang Xiuzhuan" on the signature made my brain hypoxic again. I am so proud and have a lot of face. It would be perfect if it was changed to Wang Zihao's writing. "Just me? Didn't you help me compile it?" Opening the book cover, there is even a brief introduction of the author and a preface written by the academic leaders of the dynasty. Arabic numerals are listed as a compulsory course in Chapter 0, and all subsequent counting units are based on Arabic numerals.The addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division symbols are also marked carefully, which is not much different from the elementary school arithmetic textbooks of later generations.The decimal system is the mainstream in the book, and the decimal and hexadecimal conversion methods are interspersed a little deeper in the back. It can be seen that the editor of the final edition is an expert, but the whole is too dull, not as lively as the textbooks of later generations. The important role of 'Xiao Ming' is missing.Pity. "A total of four volumes?"

"Four volumes first, and the in-depth knowledge behind it has not yet been determined. After all, the knowledge behind is too deep, not everyone can understand it, and there is no husband who can teach it for the time being, or Mr. Lang will be a little tired. Professor a batch Sir, please come out?" Lan Ling reached out and took the booklet, carefully putting it back into his sleeves, "It should be yours, but I just don't want to. Give it to my concubine."

"Give it to you." I waved my hand generously. Although the sample booklet is precious, there is no reason for a man to argue with his wife.It is published in the form of a textbook, and it will be deeply involved in the future. Teaching without a teacher is also a problem, but it is not appropriate for me to train teachers myself. I don’t know what kind of virtue the teachers under me will become. "I can't do it. I can do my research, but I will mess up when I really go to teach. I am impatient, and I will inevitably beat the students. If I follow my example, the children of Datang will suffer." I hate the students who can't be taught repeatedly. Cheng Chu, who is the fifth and third year old, kicks a few times when I am anxious, let alone others.

"It's just to be beaten." Lan Ling didn't think so, and said with peace of mind: "Let's not talk about ordinary students. Even princes and princes can be beaten. When I was young, I was often beaten by my husband. I don't care what your status is. No complaints. Those who don’t hit students are abnormal.”

"Oh, if you say that, you can try it." Great, I can finally rely on the name of the teacher and beat the students justifiably. It's cool, I must get back the beating I suffered in school when I was a child.He said with a smirk: "Well, yes, you can consider it, hehe." After thinking about it, he asked in a low voice: "Can we use weapons?"

"Impossible!" Lan Ling was confused by my question, "What's on your mind? There's no such way of questioning in the barracks, are you a spy for torture?"

"Oh, it's okay, just ask casually. Let's discuss the limit of punishment. In the future, when you become a teacher, don't you have to have prestige?" Li Wei, the first thing is to establish prestige, regardless of whether it is wrong or not, come into my classroom and come to [-] prestige first It's great, and then it's so cool to hang it up for a round of [-] Liwei whips. "Are there any female students?"

"What are you thinking?" Lan Ling poked his finger bitterly, "It's really a wrong topic to talk about this with you, forget it, no matter how profound the knowledge is, I dare not let you teach it, what I said earlier Don't worry, I didn't say anything when I was a concubine."

"Tch, what do you think I think?" She curled her lips in disdain, "I forgot something, publishing is publishing, why haven't you seen the manuscript fee? Without the incentive of manuscript fee, no one is willing to buy death power in the future, right?"

"It's really strange to hear." Lan Ling glanced at me and said with a smile: "It's an honor for the heavens and the earth. I'm really afraid that they will pay for their lives. The opportunity to become famous, the clean knowledge, and you Are you ashamed to ask for money? You are the only one in the world who can say such a thing, and it is really not easy to meet one."

"Hey!" Shaking his head in disappointment, in the old society, there is no way to reason with them, this is a big loss. "Forget it, let me sacrifice once for the country and the people. It's not an example. What about the copyright? Who owns the copyright?"

"From the imperial court, I want to print it several times, and I accept your bad intentions." Lan Ling didn't eat in the morning, so he picked up a plate of hemp leaves and ate it.I can see that she deliberately took up her mouth and didn't want to talk to me.

It's very boring, all the things I worked hard for become the public's property, it's fine if I don't get any rewards, and I don't even own the copyright, and I can't ask, and if I ask, I just roll my eyes.The evil feudal dynasty does not respect the fruits of other people's labor.But having said that, I’m just recounting it, and it’s not my own. Forget it, we, a socialist-born youth with good roots, can’t compete with these ancient people.

"Since the book is published, there is no secrecy at all. Try to ensure that the domestic academic circles are one step ahead. Once they are exiled, at least they will be equal in terms of enlightenment in mathematics. Therefore, we must focus on high-end and focus on high-level leadership." There are a lot of foreign students studying in this era, and almost all students from neighboring countries are studying in Datang, not Guangwa. "Don't be in a hurry to publish the latter things. Maybe we can set up a special institution to discuss, not only in mathematics, but also in any discipline. The key is to be professional, and the division of subjects must be meticulous. A person's energy in a lifetime is limited, and it is easy to specialize in erudition. It’s difficult, what I offer is just the surface, to attract jade.”

"When did you start learning to be humble again?" Lan Ling looked at me, making sure I wasn't talking ironically, and said, "Isn't it good to be knowledgeable? Everyone likes to boast that they are knowledgeable. Specialization has been around since ancient times, but how many people are willing How about spending a lifetime studying a subject?"

"There is no such thing as profoundness, profoundness is first of all a lie. The more you call yourself profound, the more shallow you are." This is a defect, a manifestation of not being serious and superficial.There is some truth in sayings such as the six arts of a gentleman, but everyone's understanding is misunderstood, just like Qin Yu is both civil and military.But it seems that his writing is not as good as Cui Zhang, his martial arts is not as good as Cheng Chu, and his studies are too complicated.It is not wrong to have a lot of hobbies, but swallowing dates is an act of lack of responsibility. "There are no erudite people in this world. Next time you hear someone say erudite, you will pick him. In-depth study is the principle of learning. Literature is literature, martial arts is martial arts, and mathematics is mathematics. No matter how smart a person is, he can't stand it." You forgot about the story of monkeys moving cucumbers (there is no grain, they are replaced by cucumbers, they are all cylinders anyway)? Do you have a specialization in art?" These days I want to mix in an elegant circle.Ritual, music, archery, royal, book, and counting must all be mastered, otherwise they will be looked down upon by others, and over time it will become a fashion, like juggling, and many good things will be distorted, mere formality, and superficial. "It's like fighting on the battlefield, there is no need for any pretense. Let those elegant men who are known as swordsmen go up and try it. It will be strange if they don't be cut to pieces. Literature cannot be safe inside, and martial arts cannot defend the enemy from the outside. It doesn't matter if you don't learn .Especially those who get drunk as soon as they get drunk, they forget their surnames, and they still post, fart."

"It sounds awkward coming out of your mouth." Lan Ling was a little dazed, his eyes fixed on my face, and I was a little embarrassed to see it. "Good things will taste bad when you say them out of your mouth. Even if you can't stabilize the country, there is no need to belittle others. Don't you drink too much and write poems, and you are very good at it."

"What are you going to do?" I scratched my head in embarrassment, my face turned red, "It's not been three or five days since we were together, do you think I'm that material? I can't read all the words Untidy people, please have some logic."

"Why did you just deny it? But there is no one who opens his eyes and tells nonsense. Even if he looks down on others who search for poems and Fu, you can't play a scoundrel to this extent. You are really strange. You are knowledgeable but arrange knowledgeable people. It's also arty, but I look down on other people's poetry. Say it's a literati, you don't have the temper, say you're greedy for money and have no conscience, but the truth is clear, true and false." Lan Ling Bai couldn't figure it out, pulled a piece of paper over and drew a pig's head, with my place name written on his forehead, "That's right, what you just said makes sense, 'there is a specialization in art', it makes sense."

"It's useless for you to say it's reasonable. Everyone needs to think it's reasonable." I forgot who said the phrase "there is a specialization in surgery". Judging by Lan Ling's appearance, it seemed like it was the first time I heard it.As soon as this life is good, people become impetuous, learning what is not like what is not, and only want to be gorgeous.Especially while wielding knives and swords indiscriminately, while pretending to be full of knowledge, in the end, it doesn't matter what you want, and you are a good hand at wasting food.

"It's still the same thing, it's difficult to change from the bottom up, and it's easy to change from the top down," Lan Ling Runrun wrote, embellishing what I just said, and wrote a cliché, "If it makes sense, let everyone know it. This flashy wind is not easy to control, if you want to take advantage of it, you have to suppress it."

"It's not that all the flashy things are bad. For example, the clothes you wear in summer are good, and you should promote them." He gesticulated on his neck as he spoke.In the early Tang Dynasty, thinking was still conservative, especially for women.Back then when Wei Zheng came to power, the first thing he did was to practice 'female training', which made everyone's necklines tightly tied, and there was no such thing as big round neck clothes with half-exposed breasts. , I think it's unfair that it can only appear in the "Golden Age of Kaiyuan", and I want to watch it now.

"It's just for you to see. Do you think I wear it everywhere? I don't want to advocate anything anymore." Lan Ling smiled charmingly, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I just brought you a sample booklet by the way today, and it's the end of the year. I'm busy, I don't have time to delay. Also, your sister-in-law will accompany me to Xiyuan at the end of the year, and tell her to prepare. In the future, I will often deal with the inner government. I will lead her to meet a familiar face If it’s not good, I can still ask for a reward, after all, I have made meritorious service, and it’s not justified not to be rewarded for meritorious service.”

"What about me? I also have merit. Rewards?" I am the mastermind behind the scenes, why should I let the little girl do it all, I am not reconciled.

"You," Lan Ling smiled, "The ones who went that day were all from women's houses. If you insist on following, it's fine, as long as you're not afraid of being teased."

"Forget it!" He waved his hand firmly. "Walk slowly, don't give it away. Hey, wait a minute," ran out and brought two gifts to Lan Ling, "I entrusted you to give it to Li Shi. He helped me a lot in Nanlin Garden, and the Chinese New Year is also very interesting. This one was given to him by me, and this one was given to his wife by my mother-in-law."

"En," Lan Ling unceremoniously opened it and took a look.He laughed and said: "It's slick enough to play this trick all day long. What's the point of giving the abacus without the formula? Jiuhua Yulu is good, and I will give me a few bottles in the morning. If you are picky, give me a bottle in the summer. , I heard that Mr. Cheng drinks a bottle when he is free."

"Hey, you still need to give it away, just take what you have at home." Originally, I wanted to give a few eggs.In the end, think about it and forget it. In the future, the Wang family will not be involved in the matter of being a jerk, so as not to be criticized by others. "The abacus is made of wood. Although it is not as valuable as jade, it is much more comfortable to use. If you want the formula, you will have it when the fourth child buys the abacus. Besides, don't you have it? Teach him casually and let him figure it out by himself, hehe .”

For Lanling, it was just a sentence, but for the fourth child, it was a disaster.Ying learned that the girl was lucky enough to attend the high-level ladies' party.First of all, I am overjoyed.After that is the big worry.The joy is that the younger sister can finally have something to look forward to, but the worry is that the fourth child has been used to it since childhood.It is inevitable to be ashamed on big occasions, but you can't bear to embarrass the adult Wang's family. So, without delaying her busy schedule, Ying arrests the fourth child and puts her in custody. The devil's special training begins.

"How do you eat? Put your teeth away, for fear that others will not know how good your teeth are?" At the dinner table, Ying no longer showed mercy, and directly slapped the fourth child on the back of the head, and the pea cake she just put in her mouth was slapped again. come out.

"Is it still asking people to eat or not?" The second daughter and I took a plate of food and sat away from the two sisters. "In the future, you two sit at the same table and play whatever you like." It's only a few days, what did you do early? Isn't it too late to beat the child now?

The fourth child also knew the importance of it. He made an exception and remained silent when he was beaten and scolded.

I couldn't stand it, and pulled Laying, "Don't keep hitting the back of your head, what a smart girl, you'll be done if you're stupid, there are too many thick places, change it."

"I came here like this when I was a child, and I didn't see it as a fool." Ying ignored it, went her own way, turned her head and slapped the fourth child again, and reprimanded: "Sit down, who told you to move? Legs together!"

"It's good for the fourth child, don't let the fourth one come out." Lying on the kang at night, looking at the anxious Ying, he persuaded: "If you can go with Lanling, you won't suffer much. Besides, you have to go through the world that day. People, have you disciplined her to tell at a glance, who can be deceived? Just let her go over with a bit of gangster air, so that she looks lively, little girl, who cares about this seriously?"

"That can't even fail to understand the most basic etiquette, and spread it to make people laugh." Ying leaned on the edge of the kang and took needles and threads, pretending to be a female celebrity, and she didn't get a needle for a long time.

"What's the joke? The people brought by the majestic princess have to give Lanling face no matter what. Lanling doesn't think so, let's go to snakes and scorpions by ourselves. Are you working? If you don't, turn off the lights and go to sleep, take a needle and thread to pretend Yes. Tomorrow I have to go to several houses to give gifts.”

"It's all ready," Ying put away the needle and thread, and pushed the bedding towards me, "This year, I have added gifts from several families, and your husband and old general Su have also gotten involved?"

"That is, who am I? All the old generals admire my husband's knowledge." He got under the covers with a face.Tomorrow, when I was giving gifts to the Cheng family, I also happened to go to see this old fisherman.Uncle Su has never known my identity, so there's no need to keep it a secret. I'm a pretty good person, at least more honest than Mr. Cheng. "I'll pack more twisted sesame leaves tomorrow. General Su has good teeth and loves to eat." I remember the time the old man invited me to a light meal.As for the old man who once captured me alive, I will not visit in person, I will just send someone to deliver it. It is a terrible old man. I am afraid that he will sell me his granddaughter again after meeting him. I can't stand it.

"You can also send it to Yuchi's house in person. The old man asked about you when he went to his house last time." Ying took out the gift list again, and checked every house for fear of missing anyone. "There is also the Zhang family. Although they were implicated in the affairs of King Wu earlier, they are still relatives. Now the court has not pursued it. It is a courtesy to move around a little, and it is not appropriate to be too blunt."

"I'm not blunt. No one has ever told me about this. This is the first time you mentioned it."
