Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The county magistrate Qi wanted to persuade Cui Xie to change shops, but he didn't expect that he would set up a library for the county and open it for free so that all scholars in the county could read. This kind of thing should have been done by him as the county magistrate, but he himself did not expect that such a child would want to do it, and he would have to support the library with the money he earned from his bookstore...

Nothing.

"This is supposed to be a moral government implemented by the county. How can I ask you to pay and contribute?" The county magistrate Qi frowned and said, "I will consider this matter again. You should do the bookstore and continue to do it, but don't stop those **** love letters. Don’t use the name Cui Meiren'er anymore."

Choi Xie didn't want the name Cui Meiren more than he did, so he said, "When I move to a new place later, I will change the name of the study and let Cui Meiren disappear completely from then on."

However, the "Three Kingdoms" still needs to be printed. When the book was printed, the card was changed. The original bookstore was closed. The new store bought the old manuscripts and color printing technology, and insisted on publishing the unfinished book for customers.

"But my shop is not easy to change hands. I'm afraid that the next owner will use the name'Cui Meiren'er' to attract customers, but it will be remembered for a long time. Just use this yard for adults. I would like to contribute to the preparations. After it is built, donate it to the county, just ask the county to remember that this yard is the dowry of the first mother, Mrs. Liu, so that it will be known to future generations."

"That..." The county magistrate Qi subconsciously refused, but seeing Cui Xie's sincere eyes, he swallowed again when he reached his lips, and sighed: "You can donate the first mother's dowry to build a library in the county. This is also an act of loyalty and filial piety. How can I say no? When the library building is completed the next day, the county will put your book donation to encourage learning to the court. This is not an example of sages, perhaps the Holy Lord will not issue another edict. But this county will surely be a monument to stand outside the building, and Yongzhi your righteous deed today."

Cui Xie lowered his head deeply: "The students came from Beijing alone. Without the care of adults and the help of the neighbors, how can I go smoothly to this day? I don’t dare to ask the court for awards for doing this. Folks, doing useful things for adults is convenient and sufficient."

After the ceremony, he raised his head and said with a bit of nervousness and anxiety: "In fact, students also have something to ask for help from adults-can you please write an article for me and the head of'Cui Meiren'er'? Qing? You don’t have to write too much, just mention that Zhirong Bookstore is closed and people go to the building to be empty."

Qi Sheng twisted his beard, pondering that he never agreed immediately. He actually likes to write articles, but unfortunately, his writing is not very good, and I am just a supervising student, basically at the bottom of the literati. What he wrote was not well circulated in the county, and he was not confident that it could spread out of the county, overwhelming the rumors, and tore away Cui Xie from the fragrant celebrity.

Of course, it's also the blame for no one in Fangjin's market to get the #qian'anzhixian exclusive reveal: the man behind "Cui Meirener" turned out to be him! #Such a striking headline, otherwise the county magistrate Qi will have the confidence to dispel the rumors and the article will spread farther than the rumors.

Seeing his hesitation, Cui Xie took the initiative to say: "I read the adult's Xiuqian Anmiao scholarship early in my late life, and felt that the adult's writing of scenery is like a picture scroll in front of him, so I have long since asked the adult to write a few volumes of articles into a collection. May the adults I added a note to my travel notes to separate me from that famous name. Wherever my travel notes are published in the future, my reputation will be clarified, and I will be at ease when I study the imperial examination."

The county magistrate Qi had no choice but to tell the truth: "My article is really not a good one..."

It doesn't matter whether the article is good or not, is "Lian Fang Lu" really good-looking? But there are four beauties under the guise of makeup, a group of literati making comments, and voting for beauty pageants to increase popularity. Isn't it a big fire, and still selling?

The travel notes of Qi County Order were packaged and packaged on the small fresh, with a few more color pictures, and then invited talents to make a preface, it would be enough to sell.

He comforted the county magistrate Qi and said: "Adults are just striving for perfection and demanding of articles. How do you know that others don't think it is good? I know that adults don't want to be famous in the article, so they should publish a book for the reputation of late birth."

Qi Sheng struggled for a long time, but in the end he followed him, and from the bottom of his heart, he thought of publishing a book: "When this book building is built, I will write a book of the book building and clean up your reputation in the book. I will turn back some articles and come up with them, make some amendments and hand them to you."

Cui Xie responded gently and docilely, and when he saw that he was fine, he wanted to get up and leave. The Qi County Order ordered Zhang Shuban from the household to send him out, and took him to the new bookstore address he picked by the way to take a look at the new bookstore address he picked, and he was ready to move.

The yard that the county magistrate Qi chose for him was spread out before. The place was wide and wider than his yard. It was two stories deeper and had a second-floor facade. Originally the cloth was spread well, and they bought it here a few times. It’s just that in recent months there have been rumors that the little prince is going to invade Yongping and the mountains and seas. The business is light and the road to purchase goods is not smooth. A few tax fences have been added, and the shop here has been simply abandoned and taken here Several of his concubines, belongings, and subordinates have returned to the south, leaving only a half-old servant here to look at the house.

When they got there, the old servants and Fangya from the master's house showed them the house. The cabinets and chairs in the store are quite complete, and the back dean is occupied, so he can move in with a little tidy. In Curry, some old cloths and household items that the owners don’t want to take away can be washed and washed and kept for use.

The house was decided by Qi Xianzun, and he originally planned to exchange the house for his house, using the money from the bookstore to buy it for him. But Cui Xie now intends to donate it there to give Cui's mother a good reputation, and refuses to take advantage of Qi county magistrate, and asks Cui Yuan to go back and take the silver to Zhang Shuban.

Zhang Shu couldn't help him, so he had to write a deed for him, agreeing to pay a price of 120 taels for the small courtyard, and redeem it ten years later. Because there was a household book office staring at him, the old servant did not dare to ask him a high price, but when he signed, he tremblingly told him: "You have to cherish this house, our master just repairs the yard. Three or four hundred silver, if it were not for the Tatar side, we would not be willing to give it to others."

Cui Xie smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, we are also bought to do business and live in. Is there any reason not to take good care of it?" Seeing that the old servant is old and not like a strong one, he asked him: "You Going back to the South? At such an old age, it’s inconvenient to go back with money? I’ll give you two or two extras. You can hire a young and strong person to accompany you back."

The old servant straightened up, looked down at him and smiled at the book office: "No, the owner is very close to the Han family who sells flowers and trees. I can go back and take the Han family boat to the south. Only the Han family boat will leave at the end of the month. , And ask the little minister to allow me to stay a few more days.

This is not a big deal.

Cui Xie said: "You live with peace of mind, but these days the craftsmen in my family are moving in one after another. It may be a bit noisy, please bear with me."

The house in the new store is twice as large as his original house. Because the master’s family is raising Ji concubine, there are several small yards on the second and third floors, which can be used for employees with families. In the future, the entire back cover of their house can be converted into a work room, and there is no need to set a floor as a staff dormitory.

When he got home, he called all the craftsmen and told the news in public. The shopkeeper was dumbfounded on the spot, and he stood up anxiously and said, "Why don't the good shops stop? It was so easy for us to play the Zhirong Bookstore brand..."

Cui Xie waited quietly for him to finish yelling, then leaned back into the chair, folded his hands on his lap, and said lightly: "Is it famous for Zhirong Bookstore or Cui Meiren'er?"

The anger of the shopkeeper was suddenly poured on a head of carbon dioxide foam, and he stunned his face and dared not answer. These book sellers don't know that Cui Meiren'er's name is so fierce, but they have been hiding it from the owner, who knows that Cui Xie already knows it.

There was silence in the conference room, and Cui Xie said, "I have donated the Zhirong Bookstore to the county. The new yard is the Zhaojia silk cloth shop on North Street. I went and took a look. The yard inside was wider than the two of us, and it was separated. In many small hospitals, it is cheaper if anyone wants to move in.

"The courtyard can only be used for ten years, but after ten years I should also enter Beijing. You should move your study here. There are memorial archways and Zaoli walks along the street. No one dares to make trouble here. Yes. If the place to live is not enough, you can rent a mansion in Beiguan, which is cheaper and not far away."

The craftsmen were a little active and looked at him expectantly. The shopkeeper was afraid that the future business would not be as good as before, so he sighed deeply and asked: "What about the books and drawing notes that were published in the store before? There are also Three Kingdoms, we can't make them yet?"

Of course it must be out. He is trying to strip out the bad assets of "Cui Meiren", and he is not breaking his own financial path.

Cui Xie smiled slightly and said, "First put up a sign to inform customers that the bookstore is going to be closed and the clearance sale...all the existing books are cleared, only the last few hundred or dozens are left. First come first served, late arrival I can only say sorry.

"Don’t tell anyone that the bookstore will be reopened on North Street in the future. I plan to change the name of the new bookstore to'Ju'anzhai'. There will be a few new faces in the store and it will sell scientific research books. The guy took the ink picked by Master Liu. After we roll it out, we will start printing the autumn to test the ink, and then we can continue to sell "Three Kingdoms", "Lianfanglu" and Meirenjian are not sold here."

Ju'anzhai is the name of the studio that he signed when he wrote Xie Qianhu's painting, and it sounds like a high-end study. From now on, Xindian will specialize in small and fresh literature and art, with a high-level connotation collection of prose, teaching materials, teaching aids and sub-collections of classics. In the future, he will be admitted to the capital. When people mention the master of Ju'anzhai, they will think that he is a talented and decent calligrapher and collector. Taking out the Guanyin statue of Xie Qianhu, it can be regarded as a valuable celebrity's work.

But those beauties are still making money! The treasurer of Ji stood up in a gloomy manner and asked, "My son, is this true? I can't sell it anymore? The book has just been named in the south, and some big merchants have come to pack it by ship..."

Cui Xie said firmly: "My reputation is important. This shop has been donated to the county. Let's clear the stock and close it for a few days. Don't hinder the county master from building the book building."

Then you can slowly sell the remaining collections in bookstores in other places, and you can sell private collections in small stalls. After two years, the limelight has almost passed. Then I will ask for a bookstore to sell the reprinted editions, and then sell the commemorative editions in a few years...

Don't sell better.

After listening to this theory, Ji’s eyes are not the same-a little boy who has nothing to worry about, how can he make so much money, and sell it every few years. Those experienced bookstore owners are all Don't bring this!

If he were born in the Three Kingdoms, he would have to be a man of troubled times like Cao Mengde!

He sighed inwardly, and went back to preside over the move of the shop and craftsmen. When a customer came to ask them why they closed the store, he squeezed out a few tears without saying why they closed the store. He only said with tears: "In the future, someone will naturally take over this color printing method and re-publish "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Such a good book will not become an absolute hit!"

When a large foreign merchant wanted to take over the bookstore and contracted the color printing technology by the way, he said vaguely: "This bookstore is already an industry in the county, so private sales are not allowed. Just rest assured and wait. The place of talented literati will never let color-printed books disappear."

After a few days of clearance processing, Zhirong Study closed its doors immediately. The county magistrate Qi raised money from large households and, together with the books donated by Cui Xie, began to rebuild the library.

He donated the yard so cleanly. Those familiar talented scholars were a little surprised. They went to his house and asked him: "Your bookstore said you donated and donated it, don't you feel distressed? What other promising industries do you have in the future? "

The Zhao family was even more worried that he would have to go back to the old days that he could not even repair the house. Zhao Taigong came to see him in person and almost took him back to his home to raise him.

Cui Xie was moved in his heart, thanked them for their concern, and then expressed his concerns about his reputation, and comforted them: "I just donated the house. The technology of human and color printing is not mine? I will open it again in the future. The New Book Office, then engraved the Three Kingdoms."

He also wanted to explain to Prince Wang, but it was a pity that he was in the barracks and it was not easy to spread the news. He wrote a letter and installed it together with the newly printed volumes of the Three Kingdoms, and asked familiar sergeants to help deliver it to the border. Because Wang Xiangzhen had to prepare for the battle and the training was extremely strict, his book could not be passed, and there was never a reply. His father Wang Commander asked someone to invite Cui Xie.

This commander has always been busy with official duties and didn't bother to see his son's dude friends. This was the first time he wanted to see him. Cui Xie deliberately dressed up, wearing a headscarf, and a white scholar robe, trying to make a good impression on him, and also to earn a face for the Prince.

Commander Wang saw him in the main hall, and watched him walk in like a Zhilan Yushu, his eyes were clear and shining, he couldn't help but give a secret compliment. With a smile on his face, he said, "Master Cui, please sit down. I invited you today to thank you. I hope you don’t think that my gratitude came too late, and you were too slow in the past."

Cui Xie replied flatteredly: "I'm just a late-born junior. How dare I be an adult, thank you."

"You can afford it. I learned later that you made Xiang Zhen a few pictures that inspired him to kill the enemy, and then drew him the hero picture An Shunbo wanted, and An Shunbo brought him by his side. I’m a bad guy who can have such a future, thanks to your friend who helped him plan.” Commander Wang looked at him with a smile, but his gaze had a grin that couldn’t be concealed, like frost and snow, a bit like the beginning. Xie Qianhu when I met.

Perhaps people who have been on the battlefield have this kind of aura that is difficult to completely put away.

He suddenly remembered that he should also write a letter to Beijing, telling Xie Qianhu that he had closed the Zhirong Bookstore and opened a new study so that he would not worry in Beijing. A few months ago, Xie Qianhu also called Xie Shan to buy the leftover books in his bookstore. He wanted to come to him... This bookstore was also very concerned. The store closed quietly and the news spread to Beijing. Will he send someone to see him again?

How about writing a letter to Beijing, telling others that you want to donate to the bookstore yard to build a library, and then open a study room selling scientific research books? By the way, I will send dozens of sets of "Six Talents Review of Three Kingdoms" to Beijing. I heard from several Juren seniors that the book is very popular in Beijing, and Xie Qianhu can also take the book and give it away.

Anyway, the shop is now closed, so you don’t have to rush to sell it to customers in line like when it opened. It doesn’t matter if you send a few more sets.

He turned this thought lightly in his heart, and answered the commander Wang politely. Commander Wang complimented him a few words, and said something about Prince Wang. There is really nothing to say with him, a junior scholar. After thinking for a while, he said: "Xiang Zhen used to let you ride a horse at home. You can continue. Besides, I think you are not tall, and I am afraid that you have suffered from studying. You are not too old. I will choose a guard to teach you another day. If you want to practice some combat skills, you will also practice. It comes out."
