Villager of Daming

Chapter 170 Another use of the shop of four treasures (fifth change)
"Hot, town, hot, town..." Zhu Xi stood there and muttered.

The chief next to him couldn't stand it any longer: "His Royal Highness, Hanhan said that beer tastes better when it's hot."

"That's the truth." Zhu Xi was stunned, and he sighed: "It's really not easy to do business in person."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, the kinder the heart, the more tired the person, always consider others.

Like a sage who loves the people like a son, he works harder every day.Hundreds of officials are assisted, but each has his own thoughts.

However, the people's society is stable, the king is the boat; the common people are the water; the water carries the boat, and the water capsizes the boat.

For another example, the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least.That's why you get the people of Qiu to be the son of heaven, you get the son of heaven to be a prince, and you get the princes to be a great official. "

The head of the village began to give lectures to Zhu Xi, and Hanhan wrote down some things that should be told to Zhu Xi, and the head of the village learned by heart.

Zhu Xi didn't go to the Daben Hall to attend classes, but his studies could not be left behind by the people of Xiaqiu Village.

"I would like to be taught!" Zhu Xi bowed slightly.

He discovered that everyone in Xiaqiu Village knows how to order things, especially children. In recent days, he has learned a lot from stories about other children.

Those are the words in the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, but there are so many stories, and Zhu Wentian's friends have not yet finished learning them.

Some children memorize this allusion, some memorize another, and teach each other.

Write down all these allusions, and you don't need to read other books, almost all of them are included.

However, if you take the eight-legged essay, you have to memorize it, but when you answer it, you need to use the stereotyped essay to answer current affairs policy, that is, the appearance of policy theory, so Zhu Yuanzhang likes it.

……

After a busy day, Zhu Xi stayed with the children in the village, some of whom were about the same age as him, and he also taught others what he had learned, which played a role in reviewing the past and learning the new.

It is also learning, and it is easier to remember when learning while working with the people of Xiaqiu Village, and there is no pressure to learn.

In the evening, Fuhualou delivered food, and the shopkeeper Xu said that as long as Xiaqiu Village does not sell boxed lunches, the restaurant must be responsible for the meal.

Unless Xiaqiu Village wants to eat new dishes, the people in the village can only make them themselves, just say hello in advance.

There are many kinds of food, but the quantity is small, so we can ensure that there is no leftover after eating. If it is hot, we can only throw away the leftovers.

Zhu Xi drank beer and continued to have dinner with everyone, no one took care of him, and the people in his house stayed in the house and couldn't come out.

At this time, he drank from a glass, and Xiaqiu Village sent beer and glassware, and he used this to drink beer to brighten the room.

He eats Jiuzhuan Dachang: "Jiuzhuan Dachang Guanglu Temple does not always make it, it is too troublesome, and you will get tired of eating it often.

Zhu Lichang, didn't the original pawn shop sell the Four Treasures of the Study?I have taken it back there, you can bring it over. "

"Since His Highness mentioned it, Caomin will say that the Four Treasures of the Study are just a cover, and the items in Luoyunzhai, Your Highness, are too expensive."

The head of the village told Zhu Xi tactfully, your store doesn't make money, unless you say you opened it, otherwise who would buy such good things?
An inkstone is a hundred or so pens, a piece of ink is forty or fifty pens, and the four treasures of the study for the village are rewarded by the palace, and they are far inferior to the goods in your shop.

After listening to the words of the head of the village, Zhu Xi nodded: "The entrustment is not human! I said why the income from opening the store is so little, I should really put him... Sigh!"

He wanted to say that it was meaningless to arrest the shopkeeper he was looking for to clean up, but the matter was over.

"Your Highness, the prince should be considerate in his actions, put the country first, and take the sage first.

We sell beer to collect wheat that germinates in rainy days, and to make people collect extra money for the ears.

It's not just about how much money you want to make. If you want to make money, we have a faster way.

The shop of the Four Treasures of the Study should naturally be like this.At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a lot of waste waiting for prosperity, wars had been fought for many years, and few people studied.

There is a saying in Guanzi, the plan for one year is better than planting valleys; the plan for ten years is better than trees; the plan for life is better than tree people.

One harvester from one tree is grain; one harvester from ten trees is tree, and one harvester from one tree is man...meaning..."

The chief took the opportunity to teach Zhu Xi again, the chief was full of energy!

His Royal Highness Qin Wang does not go to Dabentang to study, but to do things with our village, so we have to let Qin Wang learn more things.

Those of you who are educated are comparable to the village guard Hanhan in Xiaqiu Village?
"That's why, in the Four Treasures Store of the Study, we sell books and print them ourselves. Not to mention, we only cater to the people in Tianfu. If there are students, they have no money to buy books.

The pawn shop has a large space, and we sell books while allowing students to go in and read, even from morning to night, we don’t drive them away.

Not only does it not drive people away, it also has to make people feel comfortable reading books, Xiaqiu Village is designed in this way..."

The chief raised his glass, took a sip and continued talking.

The pawn shop needs to repair the fire wall additionally, it is warm in winter and provides free hot soup.

In summer, use screens and give free mung bean water.

On cloudy days, glazed lanterns are arranged for lighting.

Looking at the poor scholars, give some pickles, rice, and steamed buns, and eat with soup.

Change it to a library to ensure a balanced revenue, and don't expect to make money from it.

After the chief finished eating, Zhu Xi thought about eating too, until he was full, he was still in a daze.

……

The next day, everyone continued to repeat what happened yesterday, and Zhu Xi began to ask people in the mansion to print books.

At present, there are wooden movable type printing, tin movable type, clay movable type is not popular, copper movable type has to wait, and lead movable type is also not available.

Tin movable type cannot be used in the north, otherwise it would be hard to make a pile of large and small tin movable types, and when winter comes, all the movable types will be broken.

Well, Nanjing is actually not very willing to use it. God knows when the temperature will suddenly become very low in winter.

Only wood movable type was the most popular, or block printing.

Zhu Xi wanted wooden movable type, as the head of the village said, and if the annotations of some of the Four Books and Five Classics were different in the future when printing books, the engraving blocks would be scrapped.

The key is to make money, no matter what, let the library support itself, and not subsidize it with other industries.

Wood movable type requires high wood material requirements, fine texture, not easy to deform, and easy to carve.

It just so happened that the construction of the Central Capital had stopped, and everyone came to repair the Imperial Palace in Nanjing, requiring craftsmen to have craftsmen, and wood to have wood.

Zhu Xi wrote a letter to his father, asking for it, explaining that it was for printing books, but he didn't say that it was for scholars who had no money to buy books to have a place to study.

He was going to surprise his father, he couldn't be kicked in vain.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed that it would not take much effort to carve some characters and use a little wood.

When it was time for lunch, Zhu Xi happily told the head of the village about this matter: "Father personally arranges the manpower. The copper movable type you mentioned is not easy to handle. We can't destroy money. Unless there is a copper mine, we can mine it ourselves."

"His Royal Highness King Qin has mining staff? Copper mines, yes."

The head of the village knew that the mine could be mined casually, but it was best to sell it to the government after mining.

Who did Xiaqiu Village harvest and sell to?Of course, I keep it for myself to make copper movable type. How to find the key mining people.

"Is it worthwhile to hire people?" Zhu Xi was also worried about the workers, because the people in the mansion could not go to dig stones.

　I have it today, thank you brothers and sisters for your support, thank you!
