Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 35

Zhou Chong, who was wondering, only heard Wei Liao applaud again and again: "Very good, very good!" The expression on his face was also very rich, with a look of joy.

An expert like Wei Liao possesses the precious quality of being ahead of Mount Tai without changing color, and there are very few such happy things. Zhou Chong was even more surprised, thinking: "What's wrong with him? Could it be that he picked up a treasure?" ?”

Wang Ao patted Zhou Chong on the shoulder, raised his thumb, and said softly, "Brother Zhou, you are amazing. Mister is very satisfied with the Langhao brush. Look, Mister Zhou, the brush moves like a dragon and a snake." , fluent and smooth, with a tendency to complete in one go.”

Zhou Chong was awakened by his words, as he said, Wei Liao kept waving his right wrist, writing much faster than usual, Zhou Chong's opinion was that he was writing, it was almost like typing on a typewriter, he was about to fly.The reason why Wei Liao just applauded and didn't express anything else was because he was so focused on the book that he had no time to look at it, and he didn't realize that this pen was no longer that one.

Zhou Chong made a gesture, Wang Ao understood, filled the inkstone with ink, and the two retreated lightly.

The breeze blew, and the paper rolled up. Wei Liao casually took the wooden ruler and pressed it down.The sleeves of the clothes are slightly raised, floating like a fairy, and the picture of a book written by Liaozi will be imprinted in the hearts of Zhou Chong and Wang Ao forever.

From then on, Wei Liao devoted himself to writing books, and when the weather was sunny, he would write quickly on the rocks outside Banxianju, and if the weather was bad, he would devote himself to the art of war in Banxianju.

Zhou Chong witnessed Wei Liao's rigorous academic attitude with his own eyes, which made him deeply moved.How rigorous is Wei Liao's academic attitude?Just tell a little story.

It took Wei Liao only half a month to complete the first draft, but he did not finalize it, but devoted himself to deliberation and revision. Sometimes he would spend three to five days for a single word, either in meditation, or Discuss with Zhou Chong and Wang Ao, and listen carefully to their views.

Zhou Chong remembered Wei Liao's pensive expression clearly, his brows were slightly raised, he kept pacing in circles, his left hand touched his chin, and his right hand flicked in the air from time to time, or wrote, or made some unconscious movements.Sometimes, he would stop abruptly, mutter incessantly, or nod, or shake his head, or pick up a pen to revise.

Zhou Chong has also read the book "Wei Liao Zi", and the number of words is not many, only more than 1 to [-] words. If you follow the speed of modern online novel writers, you can finish it in three to five hours, or even less.It took Wei Liao half a month just for the first draft. The reason is that his attitude was very strict, and every word was carefully considered over and over again.

It can be said that the reason why "Wei Liao Zi" can be passed down through the ages, and why it can become one of the "Seven Books of Wu Jing" is because of Wei Liao's rigorous academic attitude, every word has a meaning, really The most important thing is to deserve the praise of "every word".

After a long time, Zhou Chong still couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that it was so difficult for the ancients to write a book, and the rigorous attitude made people have to admire. Writers of modern online novels should learn from him. Typos in online novels , wrong characters, and missing characters appear endlessly, making it impossible to read. If you want to know how much effort Wei Liao has spent on this art of war with only more than 1 characters, I will tell you one thing and you will understand it. If you don’t say anything else , You can see how many Langhao pens he has written bald, a big basket! These pens were made especially for him by me and Wang Ao fighting wolves and rabbits.

"At first, I thought that only a few sticks, at most a dozen wolf hair brushes would be enough, but I didn't expect it to be far more than this. 340 eight branches. I only had one thought at the time: Oh my God! What kind of attitude is this? In modern society, those unscrupulous businessmen who don’t seek deep understanding, only want to make money, and push the technology and products that are not mature at all to the market to deceive people. If the so-called scholars in the drill know, they will be ashamed."

On a sunny day, Wei Liao put down the Langhao pen with a relaxed face, stood up, did a few chest stretching movements, shook his sore neck, and said very comfortably: "That's it."

Standing behind Zhou Chong and Wang Ao applauded in unison, saying: "It's done! It's done!"

"Disciple Wang Ao congratulates Mr.!" Wang Ao was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

Zhou Chong couldn't wait even more, rushed up, picked up the manuscript from the desk and read: ""Volume 8226; Tianguan [-]": King Hui of Liang asked Wei Liaozi, saying: "The Yellow Emperor's punishment and virtue can be victorious. Huh?" Wei Liaozi replied: "Punishment is used to cut them down, and morality is used to guard them. It is not the so-called heavenly officials who always have yin and yang turned their backs. The Yellow Emperor is just a matter of personnel. Now there are cities, and they cannot be captured by attacking from east to west; they cannot be captured by attacking from north to south; Is there no one in the four directions who can take advantage of the time? However, if you can’t take it, the city is high, the pool is deep, the weapons are well-equipped, the wealth is abundant, and the powerful men have a plan. If the city is shallow and the pool is weak, you can take it. From this point of view , Heavenly officials are not as good as human affairs.'”

I thought to myself: "I thought it was different from the "Wei Liaozi" that was circulated in history, but I didn't expect that when history repeats, it is the same, word for word." Looking back, it is indeed the same.

"Congratulations, brother Wei, this masterpiece must be a wonderful book that has been passed down through the ages." Zhou Chong congratulated Wei Liao.

Wei Liao clasped his fists in a salute, and said: "Brother Zhou has done a lot to make this book possible. If Brother Zhou hadn't made such a high-quality wolf hair for Liaozi, how could Liaozi have finished the book so quickly. Liaozi thanked Brother Zhou here."

"Brother Wei is serious. The success of this book is all due to Mr. Zhou Chong's efforts! Zhou Chong is just doing a little bit, not worthy of a job. Zhou Chong dare to ask Brother Wei, what is the name of this book?" Zhou Chong said modestly.

Wei Liao stroked his beard, patted his forehead lightly, and said, "If you don't mention it, Brother Zhou, Liaozi really hasn't thought about it. What do you think is a good name, Brother Zhou?"

"Doesn't this have a ready-made name?" Zhou Chong thought in his heart, and said: "Zhou Chong's humble opinion, this book is called "Wei Liao Zi". The art of war is named after the military master, "Sun Tzu" and "Wu Zi" "Sima Fa" follows this example, and this book is no exception."

Wang Ao nodded in agreement and said: "Sir, what brother Zhou said is very reasonable, please make a judgment, sir."

Wei Liao pondered for a while, and said: "Since the ancestors are all like this, Liaozi is no exception, let's call it "Wei Liaozi"." Picking up the Langhao brush, he wrote "Wei Liaozi" at the beginning of the scroll.

Zhou Chong patted his forehead lightly, thinking a little dizzily, "I never thought that such a strange book would be named by me. I'm so honored that I'm dizzy."

Friends who are familiar with history know how famous the book "Wei Liaozi" is. It is a rare opportunity to witness the process of its completion. This in itself is enough to make people excited for a lifetime. Book title, can he not get dizzy?Don't talk about Zhou Chong, anyone who understands the historical achievements of "Wei Liao Zi" will be dizzy.

Wei Liao clasped his fists at Zhou Chong and said, "Brother Zhou, Liaozi has a small request, please allow it."

"Brother Wei, please speak up, Zhou Chong dare not try his best." Zhou Chong returned the gift.

Wei Liao smiled and said: "Liaozi was able to write military books, all because of the strength of Zhou brother. First he made paper for Liaozi, and then he made pens for Weizi. Brushes, ink, paper and inkstone are the necessities of a scholar, and among the four things, paper and The pen is more important than its shape, Liaozi dare not enjoy it to himself, but he wants to ask Brother Zhou to promote these two techniques to the world, so that all scholars in the world can use Brother Zhou's paper and pen, what do you think?"

"The world, that's a big goal. With my own strength, how can I achieve it?" Zhou Chong was taken aback by him.
