Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

After the book is compiled, whether the people will stay is another matter.

It is conceivable that Chen Zilong is a man who can be wronged so much for writing a book for a Jinshi official.

"Come on, bro!"

For such a person, if Zhang Shouren insisted on wrapping him in his sleeve if he was stingy, he would be making himself "small".First, he responded readily, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Wozi, is the agricultural book you are going to compile recently the posthumous work of the old scholar Xu?"

"Yes!"[

Chen Zilong's face was a little gloomy, and he replied: "In the ninth year of Chongzhen, I went to the capital to pay homage to my ancestors. Although they were not officially listed on the gate wall, they were regarded as disciples of the Xu family. I have obtained a draft of the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration. Editing, removing the clutter, and filling in the gaps, now it seems that the teacher's posthumous work will shine brightly."

This person is proficient in everything about workers and peasants, and Xu Guangqi is an outlier among the senior bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty.A bachelor who is proficient in stereotyped writing is actually proficient in astronomy and physics, and can write monographs on geometry, and also has works on agricultural administration such as the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration. Although this person cannot be compared with a monster like Da Vinci , but it is also the pride of Chinese scholar-bureaucrats.

This book is still circulated in the form of manuscripts, and it is not rigidly popular in the world, but Zhang Shouren has read it a long time ago if he is willing to search for it.

He still respects people who do practical things, and said sincerely at the moment: "I have benefited from the benefits of the old Master Xu. Since Brother Wozi is rewriting a new book, then when I write, I will I would like to print ten thousand copies and distribute it all over the world."

"Your Excellency is generous in everything he does, and he engraves [-] copies of books. It's really...so speechless."

Chen Zilong raised his eyebrows and looked a little helpless.

In front of a warrior with the appearance of a rich and powerful warlord, his self-confidence was repeatedly frustrated.

Stereotyping books was the most basic pursuit of literati at that time. A celebrity who did not have a few essays or poetry collections published was tantamount to a waste of time.

Many poor scholars put their manuscripts at the end of their lives, and they never forget to ask someone to publish them in the world when they die, and they don't close their eyes even after they die.

When officials accept bribes, they don't necessarily pay in cash. Taking officials' books to engrave is an elegant way of bribery.

However, this kind of printing method, usually two or three hundred copies is not a lot. The book printing industry at that time was still a high-tech industry, and the paper was very expensive. There are [-] volumes of books at a time, and no one has ever heard of such a number.

"Hehe," Zhang Shouren smiled heartlessly, and said loudly, "When I come back from this battle, let's talk about the agricultural affairs together. Brother Wozi, I have high hopes for you!"

"Don't dare, you must do your best!"

Chen Zilong traveled all over the country, and met Xu Guangqi, all of them were famous figures in the Ming Dynasty, ranging from university scholars to ordinary scholars. Friends in the society, there are really very few people who have a common language with him on the so-called "economic way".

Almost everyone blamed him behind his back for not doing his job properly and wasting time.

These people, including great scholars such as Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou, when they mentioned Xu Guangqi, they criticized him for joining the Catholic Church and were dissatisfied with Xu Guangqi's efforts in miscellaneous studies.
