From the end to the other world

Seeing Shang Qingyue's curious eyes, Qin Luochuan didn't whet his appetite, and said directly: "You can start a book."

Shang Qingyue considered it carefully: "You mean...to write the new regulations issued by the imperial court into the book?"

Qin Luochuan nodded: "Almost."

Shang Qingyue was still puzzled, "But will scholars buy it like this?"

Not to mention how difficult it is to distribute books printed in the capital, even if this problem is solved, the price of each book will definitely not be cheap, and whether it can be sold is still a problem.

"The ultimate goal of scholars is to participate in the imperial examination and become an official. The new regulations and laws issued by the imperial court must be attractive to them. If this is not enough for people to spend money to buy..." Qin Luochuan paused when he said this, Instead, he asked, "If there is a new food in our teahouse, which is not very popular with customers, but it must be sold in a short time, what will you do?"

Shang Qingyue said without thinking: "See if we can sell it at a low price. If not, we can bundle it with some of the most popular foods in the teahouse."

Speaking of this, Shang Qingyue's eyes lit up, and said: "Husband, do you mean to be with other things?"

"Well," Qin Luochuan said with a smile, "the imperial court doesn't have so many new laws and regulations, and it's difficult to make a book, but if the main content of the book is famous poems and articles, only a part of it is reserved for Come to publish the imperial court's notice to the outside world, the combination of the two will definitely be more popular."

Shang Qingyue said: "If this is the case, let alone the world's scholars, even I want to buy it."

It was no surprise to Qin Luochuan that he would say that, Dayan was a very romantic dynasty, people highly sought after those famous poets and scholars, and there was even an example where most of the people in the country were familiar with a poem.

It's just that after Qin Luochuan learned about it, he found that the reason for the wide spread of this poem was that it was sung by the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, so he stopped thinking about learning the successful case. above.

The pursuit is the pursuit, but when he heard his husband said that he wanted to buy a book with famous poems, Qin Luochuan still couldn't hold back the sourness and said: "It seems that I have to practice writing poems for my husband, so that I can better catch my husband's attention." Lang's heart."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Shang Qingyue gave him a sideways look.

After a pause, he said again: "It's just that if you want to create this book, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"Well," Qin Luochuan nodded. As long as Shang Qingyue is interested, whether it's life or court affairs, he will never hide his opinion. Students all over the world read it, there must be no mistakes in the content, and there are court notices in it, without the emperor's instructions, who would dare to do this?"

Seeing Shang Qingyue frowning worriedly, Qin Luochuan continued with a smile: "But I think of one person, if he is willing to take the lead in this matter, it will not be difficult to get it done."

Shang Qingyue directly ignored what Qin Luochuan said about the right person, but asked: "Don't you plan to do it yourself?"

"If this matter can really be done, I will definitely participate in the early stage," Qin Luochuan said, "but I won't lead this matter, and I probably won't participate too much in the future."

Now that he has already participated in the imperial examination and has come to this point, as a man, no matter how indifferent he is, under the current situation, he will inevitably want to show his skills.

But if he leads the editing of books and periodicals, he is undoubtedly making friends with scholars all over the world. Even with Qin Yan around, the emperor would have a hard time not being suspicious of him. Can accommodate him.

But Wen Shiyan was different, after he got married with Princess Mingxin, he had already given up the possibility of going up. Even if he made friends with scholars all over the world and had the status of a son-in-law, he didn't have to worry about causing any disturbances.

What's more, as far as Qin Luochuan knew, although Princess Mingxin was not born to the queen, she was brought by the queen's side since she was a child, and she has a close relationship with the prince, so things will be much more convenient in the future.

Shang Qingyue has always liked Qin Luochuan's behavior of talking to him about whatever he had in mind, and if he didn't understand, her husband would patiently explain the reason to him, which made him feel very safe, so after listening to it, be obedient He nodded and said, "Your husband can do whatever you want."

Qin Luochuan actually didn't know Shang Qingyue's thoughts. In his opinion, since the two are husband and wife, there is nothing to hide. Besides, no one is born to understand everything. In the past 20 years, Shang Qingyue Among the things I have learned, there has never been anything about the court, and it is normal to not know why I did this at first.

Moreover, Shang Qingyue has a good brain, she can remember it once she said it, and she can draw inferences from it. After half a year of study, now when Qin Luochuan tells him about the court, he can occasionally give him an idea or make a difference. question from a perspective.

"Then husband is planning to wait for Mr. Wen to return to Beijing before starting this matter?" Shang Qingyue asked.

"Well," Qin Luochuan nodded, "Although I think it's suitable for Brother Wen to do it, and with his temperament, he should like it, but it's his business after all, and it depends on whether he's interested."

After the husband and wife discussed this matter, they didn't mention it again, and didn't let the third person know.

Until the beginning of October, Wen Shiyan came to the capital from Jinling.

He had returned to Jinling to prepare the betrothal gift, and when he came back, he not only brought two large boats of betrothal presents, but also many servant girls, and even the elders invited a few over to arrange the marriage matters for him.

After accepting the levy, it is time to apply. The best day before the year is November 26, and then it will be May of the next year. Wen Shiyan obviously doesn't want to wait that long, neither does the emperor and queen. Princess Mingxin was dragged away from getting married, so the date was settled like this.

When the princess gets married, the royal family has its own set of mature procedures. Wen Shiyan's elders take care of most things for him. Therefore, when the marriage is less than two months away, he is free instead and can go to Hanlin every day. The courtyard clicks.

The three hadn't seen each other for a long time. After greeting each other, Wen Shiyan said to Qin Luochuan, "I've heard about your deeds in Jinling."

Jinling is not far from the capital city, and there is a canal between the two places, so it is very convenient to travel. It is normal for Qi Liangping's incident to be so big and spread so quickly.

So Qin Luochuan just smiled and said nothing, but Yang Xi was very interested, "Which version did you hear?"

Wen Shiyan was taken aback when he heard the words, "Are there more versions?"

"There are so many versions," Yang Xi said, "It is said that Linfeng is jealous of evil and has no room for sand in his eyes. After accidentally learning about Qi Liangping's corruption, he ran to the Jinluan Hall in a rage to sue. Others said that it was because Qi Liangping He intended to get Linfeng recruited as a son-in-law, although he was unsuccessful, but Linfeng was still dissatisfied and wanted to collect evidence of Qi Liangping's bad deeds in private, but unexpectedly he was actually found."

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, there is another one. It is said that the gods in the sky can't bear to see what Qi Liangping did. The maid that Linfeng met that day was not a real maid, but an incarnation of a god in the sky. Mentioned."

Wen Shiyan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and Qin Luochuan was also very helpless, and asked, "Where did you hear this last thing?"

Yang Xili said bluntly and confidently: "The teahouse closest to my house has the latest version of Mr. Storyteller."

Wen Shiyan was surprised, "During my absence, you still have time to listen to books?"

Originally, when the three of them were alone, they were already extremely busy. During his absence, only Qin Luochuan and Yang Xi should be busier.

"Of course not," Yang Xi said, "My husband told me this."

Then he said: "You haven't said the version you heard?"

"The first version." Wen Shiyan said.

Even if he knew the latter two versions, Wen Shiyan would not take it seriously. He understood Qin Luochuan's temperament, and he was not the kind of person who would search for evidence of other people's crimes in private when he was dissatisfied, let alone the third one, as long as he had some brains will not believe it.

After chatting, the three of them inevitably talked about Qi Liangping's corruption.

In fact, in this matter, the imperial court suddenly changed the amount of the relief fund, but did not announce it to the outside world. This is also one of the reasons why the corrupt people have not been discovered after so long.

It's just that they, as courtiers, cannot say that this is the responsibility of the emperor and the court.

The three of them agreed that as long as the information was properly disseminated, Qi Liangping's type of corruption would be almost impossible to happen, and even if someone dared to try, they would be able to detect it immediately.

Wen Shiyan thought for a while and said: "Actually, some places are not as unpopulated as I imagined. I have traveled to many places, and even in remote places, there will always be businessmen on foot."

Yang Xi understood what he meant, and said: "If it is not something that everyone is interested in, these businessmen may not be willing to spread the news, and it is easy to make mistakes in the process of word of mouth."

This is a method that Qin Luochuan has long denied.

So he asked Wen Shiyan, "How about the number of scholars and academies in the places you have traveled?"

Although Wen Shiyan didn't understand what he was going to do, he roughly guessed the reason for his question, and said seriously: "Since the first emperor, he has set up academies to encourage people to read and write more, so almost every town has Even if there is no academy in a remote town, there will be one in the county, and there are many scholars."

When Qin Luochuan heard the words, he directly told them the plan he had said to Shang Qingyue that day.

After discussing with Shang Qingyue that day, the plan became more complete. After talking from beginning to end, Yang Xi and Wen Shiyan were silent for a long time, and then asked at the same time: "How did you come up with these ideas?"

Ever since they edited and edited historical books, Qin Luochuan proposed new genres and recording methods, which shocked the two of them. This time, the plan to start a book was, in their opinion, an even more brilliant idea.

Qin Luochuan touched his nose and didn't make a sound. It can't be said that he learned these things in other worlds.

After the two of them digested the information, Wen Shiyan thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Just do as you say."

Qin Luochuan hesitated instead, and asked, "Don't you think about it for a while?"

"There's nothing to consider," Wen Shiyan said, "Whether this matter can be done is another matter. Even if it is done, it will not last for a long time."

And Qin Luochuan's kindness, how could he not know that the history books edited by the three of them will be completed next spring at most, by then Qin Luochuan and Yang Xi will definitely be promoted to other places, and since he is already a son-in-law, there is no way for him to be promoted Perhaps, even the Imperial Academy couldn't stay for a long time. Compared with taking a casual job that didn't even need to be done, he still wanted to do something practical.
