Chapter 760 Collected Documents
"This..." Zhao Chang hesitated.

As a prince, although he enjoys the glory and wealth that ordinary people can't match, he also wears shackles that others don't have.He can't leave the capital at will, nor can he do whatever he wants like other people.No matter what he did, he had to think about it, so as not to bring disaster to himself and his mother in the palace.

"I have to think about it carefully." He told Du Jinning honestly.

Du Jinning nodded understandingly: "When everyone is gone, let's talk about this matter."

"Master Du, where can I buy your jasmine tea? I want to buy some."

In the crowd, an old man in his 70s and [-]s asked Du Jinning.

He is the mountain head of Runzhou City Academy. The only thing he likes in this life is tea, and he is not short of money, so he couldn't help but ask Du Jinning.

Many people in the hall had this question, but seeing that Du Jinning was talking to someone, it was not good to disturb him.Listening to Qin Shanchang's question at this time, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.

Du Jinning smiled and saw everyone looking over, as if they were waiting for her answer.

She raised her voice slightly: "When everyone leaves later, I will give you a box of tea. This is a gift prepared for you at the tea party."

She looked at Qin Shanzhang: "If Qin Shanzhang wants to buy some more, he can send someone to the Boyue tea shop in the city to buy them. However, the taste of tea of ​​different levels is also different, and Qin Shanzhang can go to taste it in person. After all, Qianjin It’s hard to buy what you like, you have to like it.”

Her words conveyed a message to everyone. There are different grades of tea in the tea shop, and the taste is different, so the price is naturally different.Everyone can buy according to their own financial situation.

Not everyone who came to the tea party was cheap.Some have status and fame, but their economic status is average.

As for Du Jinning's jasmine tea, those who know how to drink tea can naturally taste it. Whether it is aroma or taste, it is a top-notch product. In addition to its uniqueness, it is not surprising that it is sold at a sky-high price.

Nowadays, there are inferior teas at a lower price, so that everyone can afford them.

So those who were worried about the price and dared not ask, all expressed that they wanted to buy some to try.

As the magistrate of Runzhou, Guan Jiatian is the biggest local official and Du Jinning's elder brother, so it is his duty to help Du Jinning host the tea party.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he suggested: "Just now Master Du asked us to write articles on the tea ceremony. I suggest that we choose a dozen or so outstanding articles from the articles we have written and form a collection. It's called "The Collection of Tea Ceremony". I can pay for the printing. As for the sale..."

He pointed to Du Jinning: "Master Du has a bookstore under his name, and then we will entrust him with the task of selling this book to various places."

This is naturally something he discussed with Du Jinning.In other words, Du Jinning instructed him to propose this.

It is not an easy task in the 21st century to compile one's own articles into a volume, and then print and sell them according to normal procedures, let alone the ancient times when both printing technology and sales channels were extremely backward.It is not the great Confucianism of the time, or the literati and scholars who are praised by the great aristocrats with money and connections, they dare not have such a dream at all.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a book number, and rich people could spend some money to have the bookstore print out their books and give them to friends.But this kind of book has very little influence, not only can't give the scholar a good reputation, but it is shamed by others.

People will say: what knowledge does he have?The article written is a piece of shit.People like this still publish books?It's like putting gold on your face, and it's a shame to be with this kind of person.

Of course, literati and scholars who are truly talented and willing to cheer are excluded.For example, Master Qin Shan wants to publish a book at his own expense, at least the students of the academy dare not not support him.It's just that people like this, relying on their status and having the backbone of a scholar, are unwilling to spend money to brag about themselves.Literati look down on each other, they will worry that if someone flatters you in front of you, they may say something ugly behind your back.Qin Shanchang, who has a certain social status, is shameless, so naturally he would not do such a thing.

Now, when I heard that my article had the opportunity to be included in "The Collection of Tea Ceremony", whether it was an old gentleman like Qin Shanchang who had taken a pessimistic view of life, or a young scholar like Lin Xuan who hadn't become an official, everyone was shocked.

This kind of book published in a collection is completely different from the nature of spending money to print a book for self-entertainment.More importantly, both Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui have been local officials for many years, and have certain connections and reputation; Du Jinning is the champion of the new department, and the news spread that he is the author of "Chang Tian Ji", and the most famous one may be Lu Jiuyuan and the others are full of peaches and plums, and they have created a new theory with Du Jinning, and they are expected to become famous scholars... Not to mention that there are famous people like Su Heng, Shi Hanshan, etc. in the crowd, as well as hermits like Zhao Chang. A dignified figure among men.

If your own articles can be combined with their articles in a book, you can use their contacts to show your face in front of the world.Boldly imagine, if your articles are outstanding and eye-catching, even surpassing those people, then you will not be far from becoming famous and starting a family.

Everyone asked about the rules, and learned that the side hall, the open space outside, and the boat on the opposite side had tables, chairs, writing and ink for writing, so they couldn't wait to walk out of the hall, each of them found a secluded place with few people, and thought about it. How to write articles.

Master Du said that the soul of tea ceremony lies in "Tao".How to write the "Tao" in "tea", everyone felt it when they watched the tea performance just now.At this time, it seems not difficult to write the sentiment in my heart into an article.But it is not easy to write very well and enter the top ten among these more than 30 people.

Seeing this, Zhao Chang became very interested, and got up and said, "I'm going to write articles too." Even if you can't sign your real name, it is very meaningful to sign a pen name in the anthology.

"Then I'll wait to appreciate Mr. Zhao's masterpiece." Du Jinning laughed.

After Zhao Chang left, Guan Jiatian came over and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Du Jinning shook his head and raised his chin in one direction: "Didn't you see that there were two people following him? There are hidden guards in the dark, so nothing will happen."

She smiled: "Besides, those people wouldn't be so stupid. If something happened to King Jing as soon as he left the capital, then he would be stuck in the capital and the emperor would not let him come out. So even if those people want to stay If you want to make a fuss about King Jing, you have to wait for King Jing to come out and walk around for a while, and after you find out that there is nothing wrong, the guards around you are relaxed before you take action, otherwise you will be caught in a trap."

It was also thinking of this that she let Zhao Chang live in her garden so reassuringly, and did not persuade Zhao Chang to return to the capital as soon as possible.

　I found that I couldn't complete the [-]-character code before evening after I went to work, so I developed it separately to prevent everyone from waiting.The fetus is too big and easy to give birth
