Villager of Daming

Chapter 242 Books and pictures are not good for self-painting (the third monthly ticket, thank you for the recommended ticket!)
"Li Zhang, you can't do it. How can you annoy scholars because of my Xiao Wu?"

The old man squeezed out a smile. He felt inferior and always felt that scholars were superior to others.

"Annoyed? Hmph! They take the imperial examination. I can't let anyone pass the exam, but I can make someone fail the exam." The chief sneered.

"Zhu Lichang is right, whoever doesn't like you will fail the exam." Zhu Xi's voice sounded behind the Lichang.

"Qin... the shopkeeper is here too? Sit down, Hanhan, move over there." The chief greeted.

"I'll sit on Hanhan's side, not next to you." Zhu Xi refused, and then said to the guards: "Drink the water yourself, pour me a bowl first, and heat the bowl."

"Hanhan, I just went back. Beer sells better after Chinese New Year. Apparently, they buy it and taste it during Chinese New Year. They like the taste of beer. The key is that it's cheap."

Zhu Xi sat down and waited for the water, and communicated with Hanhan, talking about business matters.

Zhu Wentian took out another handful of melon seeds: "Eat."

"Your pockets are well made. The texture looks the same as the clothes. When I get home... I will ask someone to change it."

Zhu Xi took the melon seeds, envious of the clothes pockets of Xiaqiu villagers, he had to ask whether they fit the status of King Qin, otherwise he couldn't just add pockets.

"Change, okay. Hmm!" Zhu Wentian supported, this kind of robe-like clothes, if you put a bag in it, it is obviously not suitable, you can only pick a few pockets.

"Uncle Li, how is the Chinese New Year at home?" Zhu Xi, who was supported, was very happy, talking to the veteran who was eating melon seeds.

"It's good! The library has given me a lot of things, and the whole family is happy." The veteran cooperated with his identity not named Po Zhu.

"Uncle Li, it doesn't have to be for Chinese New Year, what you need in daily life, with so many shops, you can treat it as your own.

In this way, whoever you go to the greenhouse of Hehe Restaurant, pick some vegetables, and take them with you when Uncle Li goes back at night, cover them, and don't freeze the vegetables.

Take pickles and a small barrel of beer. It's cold and can be kept for a few days. Uncle Li, drink slowly. "

Zhu Xi ordered again, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to go to the store to ask for something in person.

The veteran clasped his fists together: "Thank you so much. I brought back a bucket of beer a year ago. My family said it was delicious. I just delivered the bucket to the shop today."

He is not polite, he is a soldier who fought along the way, and now someone wants to hurt Zhu Xi, he is the first to go.

Regardless of the lame leg, in terms of fighting ability, he is better than a guard.

The old man drank the water carefully, without saying a word, he could see that this shopkeeper Qin was not an ordinary person, and the guards around him carried knives.

But Xiao Wu didn't care about other people's status at all, he drank a few sips of water, warmed up, and then looked down at his book.

"Old Xu! Let's go, I'll take you in and finish the matter of borrowing books. You will know how to do it when you come to borrow books yourself in the future."

Seeing Lao Xu's uneasy look, the veteran simply sent him away.

"Okay, good! Li Chang, shopkeeper Qin, you are busy! Oh, and Hanhan. Xiao Wu, take the book." The old man really didn't want to stay any longer.

Not long after, the process of borrowing books was completed, and Xiao Wu put the book in his clothes, and came out with his hands covered: "Uncle, brother, shopkeeper, let's go!"

"Let's go, goodbye! Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian said, taking the melon seeds and sugar on the table and stuffing them to the old man.

"Your Highness, everyone doesn't know that anyone can come to this library, so we have to spread the word so that others can read.

People like Xiaowu are suitable for reading the four-character miscellaneous characters of Kuiben. It is always useful to know the characters, even if you read a notice from the imperial court.

There are [-] copies of Quebec with four-character miscellaneous characters in the library. The boards can be borrowed, and we can reprint them. "

The head of the village thought about Xiaowu's cherished appearance, and he couldn't help but compared with the children in the village, he was literate and good at arithmetic, which could help him a lot.

Zhu Xi nodded: "This matter is easy to handle. Children from other people's families are also citizens of Daming. They are useful to the family and even more useful to Daming."

"Your Highness has all people in mind." Li Chang boasted.

"I only care about sharing worries with my father and elder brother, they are too busy. Where are you going to eat later?"

Zhu Xi looked at the sky, the sun was moving to the middle.

"Box Restaurant, Your Highness?"

"Go! I'm going up to get a book."

The group left and walked a few steps to a place selling boxed lunches.

A new batch of cooks here are busy.On the first day of the new year's opening, there are still meat dishes.

Zhu Xi went to the second floor in front to sit and read a book, and the head of the village pulled Hanhan to the back room: "Hanhan, I see you are frowning all the time, what's the matter?"

"I just wrinkled a few times. There are many pictures in Kuiben's four-character miscellaneous characters that are not vivid enough, which makes people feel unintuitive.

I plan to re-draw it and ask craftsmen to engrave it. There are hundreds of characters, which is very easy to draw.

I finished the painting before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then we went back to the village to see some vegetables should be planted by then. "

Zhu Wentian was dissatisfied with the picture in the book, and there will be a new compilation of four words later, that picture is better.

However, he thinks it is best to draw the picture himself, which can create a three-dimensional effect with shadows.

As for whether the engraving craftsmen can carve it out, there is no doubt that those craftsmen are amazing!
If it weren't for the troublesome printing process, he would have wanted to paint it with color, preferably with color printing, eh!

At the same time, he also intends to develop pinyin. Now there is a method of phonetic notation, which has existed since the Tang Dynasty, but he does not plan to use it.

He wants to use letters like ABCD, mainly because he is proficient. In addition, when he talks about mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the future, he must use such letters.

Everyone learns the same thing to save time, otherwise you have to learn it separately.

For example, the phonetic symbols in Taiwan look like Japanese, but they are not.

The village chief didn't know what Hanhan was thinking, so he just expressed his support: "Okay! Hanhan, you draw, and I'll find you a good brush."

"I don't need a brush, I draw directly with charcoal sticks, it's so tiring to draw with a brush."

Zhu Wentian wants to pursue speed, dipping the brush in ink, he can draw if he can draw, but it takes too long to draw one.

"What kind of charcoal do you want, we will burn it specially." The chief continued to support.

……

When it was time for lunch, the children ran over, Wang Yiqian and others also came, as well as three hundred craftsmen from Nanjing City.

The newly purchased place is still being repaired. The main difficulty lies in the corridor connecting the rooms, the second floor is also connected, and it must be fireproof.

When those are completed, the bungalows at the back of Luoyunzhai and Jubiqi will be demolished to build a second floor, and the front ones will see if they can add another floor.

In this way, from the library, you can go anywhere, like a maze.

The fire prevention measures were not in place, and it was completely destroyed after burning.

"We came here by boat. Instead of going by land, we will go to Xiaqiu Village first." Wang Yiqian said it himself without waiting for others to ask.

"How's your body?" Li Zhang looked at the other person's complexion, he was not bad.

"It's already healed, but I don't work anymore, and ordered others to take medicine all day long, so the medicine should stop!" Wang Yiqian patted his chest to prove that he was healthy.

"After drinking for another summer, especially on cloudy and rainy days, it's okay to feel a little uncomfortable. The root cause of the disease has fallen, and it will come back in a few years."

The head of the village asked the other party to insist on taking the medicine, and the village could afford it.
