Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 198 198 Young people don’t watch Water Margin, old people don’t watch Three Kingdoms

No one can answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

As the prince, Zhu Biao couldn't believe that in the late Ming Dynasty, the concubines and eunuchs from the harem were linked together to cause trouble in the government.

In such a chaotic situation, how much control does Ming Dynasty have over the place?

Zhu Biao didn't even dare to think about it.

However, Zhu Biao is young and is more accepting of new things than Lao Zhu.

Most descendants of later generations will probably not follow the instructions of their ancestors at that time.

Your ancestor is dead, how can you still manage a descendant of the emperor?

The emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and the ancestors just respect him, but in fact they have long since stopped taking it seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son were thinking about how to make future generations listen to the laws of their ancestors when they became emperors.

Wang Buli opened his eyes, and dinner was served outside.

Everyone wants to eat this bowl of rice, but that is impossible.

Wang Buli, the consort, doesn't even give the Prime Minister face, so who would be willing to "play" with him!

During this meal, both the craftsmen who started working and the villagers of Yong'an Village who followed the work sat at the door with bowls in hand and ate.

The head catcher Zhong Niu reminded in a low voice: "The prince-in-law has arrested all the fangs in the capital in the past two days. These dogs are not scary, but the people behind them may want to take the opportunity to cause trouble."

But for now, he still hopes that there will be a plate of green vegetables next to him, at least to relieve his tiredness.

Hitting him with a hundred sticks would obviously kill someone.

Everyone was eating the rice in their bowls and looking at the construction site in front of them. Most people had a look of longing in their eyes.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty not only inherited it, but also had more severe punishment measures than the previous dynasty.

Now that the stage was set up, Wang Buli wanted to see who was the clown and come on stage to slap Zhu Yuanzhang in the face.

The county magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar, dianshi, household administrator, and the scribe who handles the matter will all sign and stamp it for you.

Wang Buli ate the rice in his bowl and said casually:

"Now there are people who are eager for some brainless person to make things worse. I am not in the county government office, so I will give them a chance."

Some Ya people are just little Kara. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see if the people standing behind them to collect money would stand up and run for them.

The Hongwu Dynasty investigated strictly, but if they wanted to separate the family later, there were ways.

Wang Buli sat on the roadside with his rice bowl. To be honest, if he had poured broth on the rice and put a pile of meat on it, he would have quite an appetite.

Anyway, Wang Buli did not receive the request letter because he and the princess are still going through the process and have not actually gotten married.

Hu Weiyong promised to give him a promotion, but it has not been done yet.

Coupled with his reputation, neither Huaixi nobles nor other officials came to him to establish relations.

"Fourth Master, will we be gossiped about if we stay here?"

Wang Buli didn't know if there was any unhappiness between the two of them. After all, Hu was quite generous to his own people.

And not only are parents not allowed to separate the family, even if the parents die, brothers are not allowed to separate the family.

Today is the first day of construction in Yong'an Village. Wang Buli specially sent someone to prepare a pig so that everyone involved in the work could eat a few bites of the meat.

Listening to Wen Ke's question, Wang Buli shook his head: "How did you learn the Ming Dynasty law? The imperial court's punishment for family separation is extremely severe."

Wang Buli didn't believe that Lao Zhu, a political machine, would want to expand the case every time for no reason.

In other words, since Prime Minister Hu Weiyong failed, no one has dared to come again.

As for whether Wu Wei, the county magistrate, had received any news about his release, Wang Buli didn't care.

You have to appeal first!

Then just prepare the money.

"Do I, the Jiangning County Dian Shi, still need to report to them about the investigation case?"

Sitting around were also government officials and craftsmen.

Finally, a letter will be issued to you and sent to the capital, Tu, and A, which is now the township, village, and group.

In order to maintain the patriarchal society, the rulers vigorously advocated the non-separation of families, which was passed down from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty.

The rest of the villagers drank some meat bone soup, which was considered to be full of meat flavor.

Wang Buli held the decree written by Zhu Yuanzhang in his hand, and guessed that he wanted to take the opportunity to punish him.

"Fourth Master, if I split up my family and move my household registration to Yong'an Village, is there any chance?"

It can be said that he was basically sentenced to death.

After the strong laborers in the family were given the meat, they ran home to let their family members also taste the fat meat.

Yaren is not that easy to deal with. After all, without any background, he would have been beaten to death by other Yaren long ago.

Even after the founding of New China, ordinary people would not be able to eat meat regularly, let alone the early Ming Dynasty when everything was in dire need.

If the grandparents and parents are alive but the children and grandchildren have different household registrations and live apart from each other, the penalty is one hundred.

He specified that it had the purpose of "clearing".

"Fourth Master is right."

So far, no one has dared to come to Dalao, Jiangning County, to fish for people openly.

Through Wang Buli's actions, Captor Zhongniu believed that everything he did was ordered by the emperor of the day.

Whether it is to go to the Imperial Academy or to rectify the Yaren, can the Prince Consort make the decision without authorization?

That's absolutely impossible!

Zhong Niu has been in contact with Wang Buli for a long time and knows very well what kind of person he is.

How could you do such a radical thing if you couldn't be more cautious?

Wang Buli put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, picked up the bamboo tube he brought with him and took a sip of cold water. He hardly drank the raw water outside.

When it comes to maintaining the body, he is not as good as him in the entire Ming Dynasty.

After resting for a while, the craftsmen went up to work under the bright sun, because they were building houses for themselves and did not feel tired.

If the construction is completed as soon as possible, the whole family can be brought in to live in this new big tile-roofed house as soon as possible.

Wang Buli was not happy about this situation. Working for the court and working for yourself were two different concepts.

So in the afternoon, when the sun was getting weaker, he took the government officials back to the county seat and went to the bookstore that was about to open.

This restaurant, which closed down due to the Ogre case, has been turned into a bookstore after cleaning.

Now Wang Buli wants to sell Romance of the Three Kingdoms first and quickly open up the market before word spreads.

What a great book, it should be strongly supported.

The three smart young men recruited from Yong'an Village are all here, and it will be Luo Guanzhong who will be in charge of the money.

Let him do the work first, and maybe he will get new inspiration through contact with someone.

Otherwise, he has nowhere to go and has been living in Datongpu in the county government office recently.

There are shops in front of this bookstore, and houses and wells in the back, providing basic living conditions.

Luo Guanzhong was no longer watching the craftsmen at work in the Imperial College, but was cleaning here.

The books are still being printed, but after many books have been printed, Luo Guanzhong wants to sell The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He kept thinking that his writing was not good enough.

Otherwise, no one would print and publish it for him in the past few years. But Wang Buli, a commoner prince-consort, really believed that he knew the Romance of the Three Kingdoms better than himself, the original author, and believed that it would definitely sell well, so he even wrote a poem to praise it himself.

Luo Guanzhong immediately introduced Wang Buli as a confidant. Although he was older than Wang Buli's father, scholars did not care about this.

They don't need Taoyuan to become sworn brothers.

"Prince-in-law." Luo Guanzhong held a rag in his hand: "These three young men are smart and I will teach them how to read."

"Ah."

Wang Buli nodded. He also looked forward to the sales of the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms becoming more popular.

"Now we will sell Romance of the Three Kingdoms first, with the slogan that young people will not read Water Margin, and old people will not read Three Kingdoms. After the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been sold for a month, we will use the promotion to launch the book Water Margin."

When Wang Buli arranged this, Luo Guanzhong's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Prince-in-law, what does this mean?"

"Water Margin. Young people are hot-blooded and impulsive. After reading it, it is easy to imitate the heroes and heroes in it and form bad habits, so I rarely read Water Margin."

Wang Buli did not write this book just because of the word "Zhao'an", so as not to make young people confused about their future. Especially since this book is clearly rebellious, I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang can accept it.

Anyway, since the publication of Water Margin, it has been regarded as a banned book in the Ming Dynasty and during the Chongzhen period.

Because some people really imitated the Water Margin uprising, and Zhu Youjian had no other way to stop it. He could only choose to ban the book in a rage, thinking that this way no one would continue to follow suit.

But at that time in the late Ming Dynasty, many people rebelled, but how many of them were literate?

This is not a book, it’s just a reason.

Then Wang Buli talked about the reasons for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, mentioning several at once.

Luo Guanzhong nodded. He was quite satisfied with the feedback given by this senior reader.

I wish he could write the poem about Linjiang Immortal. This understanding fits his work so well.

When it comes to selling books, Luo Guanzhong feels that he is far behind Wang Buli.

"The prince consort wrote the preface to a book for an unknown person like me. I believe many people will be curious."

Although Luo Guanzhong felt anxious, he also relaxed a lot.

What author doesn’t want his new book to be a hit?

"Well, it's difficult to carve copper plates. I can't buy copper." Wang Buli waved his cattail leaf fan a few times: "But I will send a businessman to find out if there are any closed bookstores that sell copper."

The Ming Dynasty was short of copper. It was really a shortage from top to bottom.

The imperial court did not have much copper.

Copper plate engraving is really too extravagant for a book.

After the ordered bookshelf arrived, he helped put it away.

Wang Buli specifically asked several people to practice water leakage.

The water tank outside the yard must be kept full of water at all times, and he is also looking for someone to make a water tank.

Once water leaks, the movable water tank can directly spray water to extinguish the fire.

This thing is quite common in the Bingma Division. They only put out fires, but they need to be paid when the time comes.

"Books are the easiest thing to catch fire."

Wang Buli looked at Luo Guanzhong and the four others and said:

“This is Shangyuan County, not my territory in Jiangning County, and I don’t have enough hands to control this area.

You must tell me any grievances you may suffer in the future. The premise is that you do not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, even if you think that I am a prince-in-law, I will not be able to win over you. "

The three young people from Yong'an Village repeatedly promised that they would abide by the laws and regulations. They finally came out of the village, found a good job, and worked for the Prince Consort first, which was the envy of others.

"Well, it's okay if you make a mistake, but you have to tell me. But once you let me know that you made a mistake and not only didn't say it but also concealed it, it won't just be a matter of packing up and leaving to go back to your hometown."

Wang Buli has nothing to say to Luo Guanzhong. He is just a down-and-out writer who has been buried up to his neck in loess. What kind of trouble can he do?

What needs to be dealt with is these three young people. They have never been out of the village and are easily confused by others.

"Your Majesty, from now on I will only listen to your Majesty, and no one else will."

"Yeah." Wang Buli nodded:

"I specially selected three smart people from the village. If you learn literacy from Mr. Luo and know how to calculate accounts, you will be more than capable of becoming shopkeepers in the future. I won't just open one shop."

The three young people were immediately filled with the cakes drawn by Wang Buli, and they became more and more hopeful.

"Mr. Luo is resting here to look after the house. Since the bookcases are here, we will go to the Imperial College to bring back the books."

"Yes."

So a group of people followed Wang Buli to the Imperial Academy.

At this time, many students in the Imperial College were in military training, and some were even practicing archery.

I have to say that Li Wenzhong's efficiency is still very high. In addition to running training, he really trains according to the Six Arts of a Gentleman and is equipped with horses.

If you don't know how to ride a horse in the north, you'll be at a real disadvantage.

Many students have had the opportunity to experience it, and at this time, the ability of the noble disciples has been fully demonstrated.

Many people have been exposed to horses. Their fathers came back from the war and were happy to at least have horses for their sons to ride on.

Wang Buli asked someone to load the books into the truck and stood on the edge of the temporarily designated school field to watch the excitement.

Not to mention horseback riding, archery alone would eliminate many people.

Their strength is difficult to draw the army's foot bow.

It didn't matter that Li Wenzhong stood aside. He was just humiliating these scholars and hoped that they would realize their shame and become brave again.

Work hard and work hard, lest you can't even draw the bow.

As for riding horses, most of them were held by soldiers and told how to ride, instead of sitting quietly, otherwise the horses would not be able to run fast.

Li Wenzhong looked at Wang Buli and came to watch the fun. He had not appeared in the Imperial College since the audition.

The salary of this chief clerk is really easy to earn.

"Why are you free to come here today?"

"The bookstore next to me is about to open. I will bring people over to bring the printed books and promote them and they will be ready for sale in a day or two."

Wang Buli waved his cattail leaf fan and said, "There are many people in Cao Guogong's family. I will buy two more books when the time comes. They will definitely be good to read."

"Your deal?"

"Of course I will be in charge of my aunt's business."

Wang Buli had no inhibitions. He was just thinking about how to promote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms more explosively.

Not only do they want to sell well in the capital, but they also need to further seize the market in the provinces of the Ming Dynasty to prevent them from selling pirated copies and making a lot of money.

But Wang Buli then thought about it. Ming copper was so difficult to obtain. It would be difficult for them to get hundreds of pages of copper plates.

Li Wenzhong also felt that he read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms well, but he felt that Luo Guanzhong did not understand geography at all.

Guan Yun's route of riding alone for thousands of miles is simply wrong, and there are many mistakes and omissions in the book about marching and fighting.

"Since the consort has said so, I will send someone to buy a few copies when they are sold in two days."
