Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Shopkeeper Sun came in, followed closely by Kang Dayou, the son of Kang Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Kang Dayou is Zhaomo of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Kang Dayou's knowledge is not outstanding, even mediocre.

The year before last, due to the investigation and handling of too many corruption cases, a large number of officials were dealt with.

In the case of a shortage of officials, the imperial court directly selected a group of supervising students from the Guozijian and directly awarded them official positions.

It was under such circumstances that Kang Dayou was selected by the court.

As the eldest son of Kangzhen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Kang Dayou's selection could not be more normal.

Kang Dayou was assigned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although the post of Zhaomo is of the eighth rank and the official position is not high, it has great power.

In the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, from the left and right censors to the left and right censors, there is no quota.

As for Zhaomo, there is only one member.

Zhaomo is in charge of grinding and auditing work throughout the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Correcting the impeachment of all officials is not a violation, and polishing the copywriting of the various departments", this is the duty of Zhaomo.

But Kang Dayou could only beg shopkeeper Sun at this time.

It's not that shopkeeper Sun has much power, but because in the Hongwu Dynasty, as long as it was operated normally and honestly, officials would not dare to bully him.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang hated the officials who bullied the people, including merchants.

Kang Dayou came in and saw that King Wu Zhu Yunxi and Fang Xiaoru from the Imperial Academy were there.

Kang Dayou hurriedly saluted: "King Wu, Mr. Fang, you are taking the liberty of being an official."

Zhu Yunxi said: "It's okay, it's okay. Has your father published a book? Let me see it?"

Kang Dayou took the manuscript and handed it to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi picked it up and saw that it was written by Kang Zhen, and the title of the book was "Lao Zi Wang Bi Shu Yi Zhi Shu Yi".

Turned over, simply.

A quarter of the book is a retelling of Lao Tzu's words.

Two-quarters are recounting Wang Bi's annotations and understanding of Lao Tzu's Dao Jing and Te Ching.

The remaining one quarter is Kang Zhen's understanding of Wang Bi's understanding of Lao Tzu's works.

"Oh my god, this book is really a mouthful!"

"The next book is here! I understand Kang Zhen's understanding of Wang Bi's understanding of Lao Tzu."

"If this goes on, book after book will continue."

"If you do this, all the wood in the country will be cut down, and there won't be enough wood!"

Zhu Yunxi returned the book: "Wow, it's really a good book, a good book, worth publishing!"

Kang Dayou saw that Zhu Yunxi had praised him, and felt happy for his father.

"May I ask King Wu, what is so good about my father's writings?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Okay, okay, the characters are very big and black!"

Kang Dayou's face was covered with black lines.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the backyard heard it amused, and the third grandson didn't even use dirty words when he hurt people.

"Master Fang, I heard that you are going to publish a book. I rushed over today and wanted to read it first."

When Kang Dayou talked with shopkeeper Sun a few days ago, he learned that Fang Xiaoru, the teacher of King Wu, had come and said that he was going to publish a book.

This book is very popular, and shopkeeper Sun is going to spend a little more money to get all the copyrights within ten years.

Fang Xiaoru said: "This book is called "Journey to the West". It was not written by a lower official, but by the king of Wu. The lower official is just a ghostwriter."

"Master Fang, don't be modest. How can I not know your knowledge?"

A voice sounded outside the courtyard.

It is Kang Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of officials.

"Father, why are you here?" Kang Dayou hurriedly stepped aside.

Kang Zhen didn't respond to Kang Dayou: "Shopkeeper Sun, when I wrote this book, the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy participated in it. You may not know its value."

Kang Dayou said: "Treasurer Sun, you don't have to worry about the sales of this book at all. The Imperial Academy, the Imperial College, and the prefectural and county schools in various provinces, just think about it!"

"My God, Kang Zhen, you are purely using your position to influence you."

"As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you are in charge of officials. You say you are going to write a book and ask everyone to make a suggestion. How can the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy be willing to tell the truth?"

"Even if what you write is shit, these officials have to say it's a twist."

"Kang Zhen, this is so praised that I can't find it."

"According to Kang Dayou's tone, this is going to be forcibly apportioned to educational institutions at all levels!"

"Kang Zhen, this is simply making money reasonably and legally."

"One is to make money from booksellers, and the other is to make money from educational institutions at all levels."

"In order not to lose money, Guozijian may force Jiansheng to buy it."

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "Master Kang, it is best to find official engravings for your books. I am afraid that private engravings are not suitable. The books I engrave are all sold to ordinary people."

Kang Dayou didn't expect Shopkeeper Sun to not even give him any face!

"Shopkeeper Sun, you are toasting and not eating or drinking fine wine, you are shameless!"

Kang Dayou was used to being praised by others, but now he was rejected by a small bookseller, and his anger immediately flared up.

Shopkeeper Sun was neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Kang, I have a group of people to support, and I can't do business that loses money."

"You mean, publishing my father's book is losing money?" Kang Dayou persisted.

"Business is business. Mr. Kang's book is not suitable for ordinary people. I don't have the slightest confidence in publishing this book." Shopkeeper Sun also said it very tactfully.

Kang Zhen felt unhappy, and turned to Fang Xiaoru: "Master Fang, I heard that you have published a book called "Journey to the West", can I let the old man read it?"

Fang Xiaoru handed over Journey to the West.

Kang Zhen flipped through the pages and laughed loudly: "Master Fang, did you write this?"

Fang Xiaoru said: "Journey to the West cannot be written at a lower level. This book was actually written by King Wu."

"Oh, that's how it is." Kang Zhen immediately understood.

"Master Kang, King Wu's book has far-reaching implications and lofty intentions. Let's not talk about this for now, just read this, it is indeed a great innovation."

Fang Xiaoru pointed to "Journey to the West" and said: "At that time, I didn't understand it, and later I understood the intention of King Wu. For me, Ming Dynasty, the merits of the present age will benefit the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang in the backyard was surprised to hear that Fang Xiaoru had given such a high evaluation to King Wu's "Journey to the West".

It turns out that the merits in the present age and the benefits in the future!
"Journey to the West" written by King Wu is nothing more than a storybook, neither Lao Tzu's "Tao Jing" and "De Jing", nor "The Book of Songs".

How could it be that the merits in the present age and the benefits in the future?
After reading it, Kang Zhen said: "Master Fang, I have always admired you very much, but now, you have changed a lot. This "Journey to the West" is not in the hall of elegance at all."

Fang Xiaoru's temper came up: "Master Kang, is the Hall of Elegance the Imperial Academy and Imperial Academy?"

"Books are for people to read, not to be placed there and covered with dust. Please forgive me for saying bluntly, even if your book is placed in the Imperial Academy or the Imperial College, it will end up in a shelf, covered with dust, and no one cares about it!"

Kang Zhen didn't know that Fang Xiaoru had such an attitude, he was so angry that his hands pointing at Fang Xiaoru trembled.

Fang Xiaoru now admires Zhu Yunxi more and more.

Now that some people look down on Zhu Yunxi, he can't stand it anymore.

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised at this time, Fang Xiaoru was mad at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Fang Xiaoru was sent to Zhu Yunxi by us.

Why did Fang Xiaoru admire the third grandson so much?
Did the third grandson show his talents to him?
No, the third grandson will not be easily revealed, especially in terms of literary talent.

If Fang Xiaoru is to be convinced, he must surpass him in what he is best at.

Is it because "Journey to the West" convinced Fang Xiaoru?
It’s not right, we heard that Mu Yao told herself a fragment of "Journey to the West". The story is very exciting, but the words and sentences are not much different from the vernacular.

Fang Xiaoru is definitely an upright and straightforward person who would rather break than bend. He admires the third grandson's "Journey to the West" so much.

This shows that the third grandson is no longer pretending to be literary!

In terms of literary talent, the third grandson will also be revealed!
