Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 52 each with their own minds

"What is Mr. Zhizhou thinking?"

Zhang Ji gave a timely reminder.

After Cai You came to his senses, he looked a little disappointed, "Looking at him... he doesn't look like someone who can enter Weishan Academy. Could it be that he was admitted under special circumstances?"

Zhang Ji smiled slightly and said, "It's really not me. It was recommended by the magistrate Pei. The reason is...he solved a big problem in Guichi County: the river defense work was completed on schedule. In addition, the person who rescued me and Li Jianyou was also he."

"Oh……"

Cai You really became interested, and murmured while twirling his short beard: "It turns out that Mr. Li Jianyou and Li Jianyou were rescued after being tied up in the cottage. It was because of him? The river embankment in Guichi County was completed on schedule. From his hands?"

Zhang Ji nodded slightly.

In this way, Cai You, a philistine, feels that being able to have these achievements proves that he is really not an ordinary scholar. In addition to his brains, the most important thing is that he is clever and courageous, and his execution is different from ordinary scholars. No wonder, this caused him to not do well enough in accumulating classics and allusions?
"Lord Zhizhou didn't express his views on this article from beginning to end?"

Zhang Ji understood part of his thoughts, but he was a scholar after all, so he asked curiously.

Cai You didn't want to say too much and make a joke later, so he said conservatively: "The objective evaluation is good, the thinking and perspective are novel, the most charming but insufficient literary talent is its biggest flaw. If only Li Jianyou or Su Zaifeng could do this With this insight, it will not take more than 15 years to gain a place in the temple."

He also said, "But this kind of article is based on him. It is barely considered a sensationalist, but it is generally false, because according to his thinking and method, first of all, he must have a reputation and a mass base, and a reader base that recognizes him. No, he has to be rich and powerful to match, otherwise he would be more inclined to the unrealistic fantasy of a poor scholar."

Zhang Ji knew that he was speaking conservatively on purpose, so he had to admit that Cai Zhizhou was cunning and cunning.

At this point, Zhang Ji also looked weird, and Cai You also had asymmetrical information on this matter.The fame and mass base he mentioned, Zhao Cheng really has it, and under the inexplicable and lightning-fast situation, the "Lanruo Temple" he wrote has already caught fire in Chizhou.

This kind of entertainment gossip in Song Dynasty always spread quickly, and it might not take long for it to become popular in the capital.This is actually tantamount to writing a book.Based on this, Zhang Ji thinks that Zhao Cheng's publication of this article is really not fake, it is more like running his own foundation step by step?
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Ji didn't tell the truth about "Lanruo Temple". It would appear that Zhang Ji was too partial to Zhao Cheng and lost his objective and detached position.

"If we are destined to meet, we will gather together. The governor of the state is old and has his own opinions, so let this matter end here." Zhang Ji said again.

Master Cai You twirled his beard and nodded slightly. While listening to the forum, he inadvertently glanced in Zhao Cheng's direction, but was slightly taken aback. It was empty, and the down-and-out scholar left early?
"Interesting, or a person who knows how to advance and retreat?"

Cai You muttered again...

Zhao Cheng knows that today's effect is almost the same, and he can't do anything too fast, but accumulate slowly to have a solid foundation. This is the law of the universe.

Although there are many opportunities to express yourself by staying in the forum, it is also called haste makes waste, because it is too prominent, it will prematurely fill up the hatred of others, and it is even difficult to turn Li Jian from a friend to a hostile camp. possible.

Sadly this is human nature.

When the foundation is insufficient, if the blog attracts too much attention, it will definitely become the focus and offend everyone.If Zhao Cheng had Su Zaifang's identity, it would be a good thing on the contrary, but it would be a bad thing for poor scholars who have no defense.

Just as it is not easy to impress Zhang Ji, it is of course more difficult to convince Cai You.If it is really a sentence in an article that causes people like Cai You to be treated like a guest of heaven, then there are generally only two situations in human nature: First, Cai You is an idiot.Second, he will soon be used by him to fill the hole...

Lao Chentou is fortified.

After he bought out the proceeds from "Lanruo Temple", it became very efficient.The oral serialization of Heshun Tea House is continuing, and the progress is slightly slow, but it has played a role in continuously attracting fans and increasing its popularity.As for the real money-making, the second hardcover volume of "Lanruo Temple" is being planned and is on the eve of its release.

Zhao Cheng can only operate in Guichi County (state city), while Lao Chen's ability is to operate in multiple counties across the prefecture.Limited by the times, places farther away are temporarily not available, and the situation we face will be very complicated.

The so-called strong dragon can't beat the local snake, even if the old Chen head goes to the next state to discuss cooperation, he will not succeed, because the gang in the next state only needs to buy a hardcover pirated copy, and all the proceeds will be their own. Heads cooperate to share money.Unless there is a more powerful official background, but on the other hand, do you still need to do this kind of business when you have such resources?

The answer is no, there are better businesses to do...

In the city of Chizhou, many places in the counties under its jurisdiction have hung up the words that the second volume of "Lanruo Temple" has been released.

"One person buys books and the whole village listens to stories!"

The slogan Zhenni is a bit scary, but it really appeared in some villages.

By the way, Chizhou is also considered a developed area in the Song Dynasty, and each village can have so many scholars. Now that "Lanruo Temple" is very popular, the villagers in Datou have no conditions to go to the teahouse in the city to listen to the story, and they can't afford books.Then I hope that after the scholars in the village buy it, they will spread the story to the villagers by word of mouth...

"Shopkeeper, why don't you hurry up and hand over the second episode? Last time you pretended to be garlic, but you still want to pretend this time?"

Shuang'er came to buy it again on the first day of listing, but he couldn't buy it again. Yu Buying scolded fiercely, "Didn't you say that [-] copies were printed this time?"

"The little old man wants to sell it too, but it is still limited printing, and it has to supply the surrounding counties and villages. The books that the store can get are really not more than last time." The shopkeeper was very helpless.

"This is the update that Mr. Zhizhou and my lady are waiting for. How dare you fool grandma." Shuang'er refused to let go.

"Little aunt, if you are really good, it would be better to go to the master and explain it to you." The shopkeeper responded casually.

"It makes sense. Please tell me which lane and courtyard he lives in?"

Shuang'er threatened the buddies and shopkeepers here enough...

"Stop, boy, go tell a story with your aunt!"

Gui Jiao Qi Jin just entered the small thatched house and before he could close the door, he was caught by a beautiful and shrewd woman.After looking at Gui Jiao Qi, I recognized her. She once passed by a woman in green with very big breasts outside the city.

"Girl, what do you want to do with me?"

"Don't think I'll let you go just by pretending to be polite. The story about you, miss, is very interesting. This is a rare book she's been paying attention to recently. Hurry up and tell her, otherwise hehe ..." Shuang'er looked unreasonable.

Ghost Foot Qi scratched his head and said, "But I don't know how to tell stories."

"Take less money. Besides, it's not like we won't give you money. You can dictate the second episode of "Lanruo Temple" to the young lady, and I'll give you five taels of silver."

Gui Jiao Qi was very excited about this. He recently listened to the original version of "Lan Ruo Temple" and actually knew some stories. He heard that he could make money and share the stories with others, so he followed Shuang'er...
