"I didn''t expect to meet you by the Dongyang river today. It''s hard to say that the old man is ready to leave the mountain. It''s really rare for you to go to Yuhua mountain. How about going to the academy to hide a cup of tea?"
"A cup of green tea is not enough. I''ve been to Yuhua mountain since sunrise. Now I haven''t got a grain of rice. I heard that the braised meat of the academy is a rare delicacy and I have to taste it. Then, old Mr. Yao took the initiative to get into the carriage and picked up the Tang family''s baby and teased him constantly.
From the first act when he saw Yao Silian, Tang Hao liked the old man with such a atmosphere. He and Xu Jingzong were both 18 bachelors. Unfortunately, there was a great difference in personality and morality.
When I arrived at the Academy, I went directly to the back kitchen of the Academy.
Unfortunately, they had finished their lunch, leaving only some leftovers. Yao Silian didn''t dislike it at all. He asked the cook to warm himself and chew happily.
What does the great Confucian eat on weekdays? Facts have proved that Tang Hao thinks too much. Yao Silian has only one idea when he comes to Yuhua mountain, that is to print Liang Shu and Chen Shu into books and periodicals.
In fact, there are not many words in Volume 56 of Chen Shu and Volume 42 of Cheng Shu. In addition, the old man likes to pick words very much, so there is no more free words.
"General, you also know that I only read books all my life, but I don''t know how to save money. My family property is just a few rooms of books. Now, Liang Shu, Chen Shu" These two manuscripts have been completed, but they have not been delivered for printing. Now I hear that the printing efficiency of the academy is very high. I can''t wait to see these two manuscripts come out. Please help me, old man. "
Then he pushed out a burden. After Tang Hao opened it, he found that there were thick manuscripts inside.
There is also a cashier''s check of the bank. It''s only silver coins. Tang Hao really can''t cry or laugh. The old man made a mistake. He thought that the Academy would charge him for printing books, but he didn''t know that the Academy would give him money.
Tang Hao took down the promissory note and put it together. He asked the servant to find the shopkeeper of the book printing workshop. That''s the expert of book printing. He knows how many copies of these two books need to be printed and how much he needs to pay Yao Silian.
After a while, the shopkeeper came. He first asked the old man''s name, then looked carefully at the manuscript and estimated the number of words in the whole book. Finally, he said, "how about 180 silver coins in total for these two books, Mr. Yao? Each book printed 1000 copies, a total of 2000 copies. Do you think it might make it?"
Every one thousand copies? Yao Silian''s eyes will pop out. He never thought that he could print one thousand copies of his manuscript, but when he thought of 180 silver coins, he clenched his teeth. "No problem, I''ll raise silver coins now and you can start printing."
The shopkeeper looked at Yao Silian in surprise for a long time and said, "Mr. Yao, you don''t have to give us money. We need to give you 180 silver coins."
"You give me money?" Yao Silian, who had just stood up, sat down in his chair and looked at Tang Hao suspiciously: "general, it''s not necessary to do this. Although I''m not rich, I still have only a hundred silver coins."
"Sir, I don''t know. It''s the printing studio that gives you money, not us. Think about it, how can you let them get rich in vain after you''ve worked hard to write books? They need to give you money when they use your achievements. If they want to print more books in the future, they will continue to give you money. Li Gang, Yuan Zhang and Mr. Xiao, they all print books in workshops and give them money, not just money You have one. "
"How can this work? It''s a matter of ages. It''s very inappropriate for me to sell it for money. You print it. You don''t have to give me money to print as much as you want."
Yao Silian laughed, "son is not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish." after that, he left. He didn''t want Mr. Yuan Zhang to come from the outside and drag Yao Silian away. Yao Silian struggled twice. He couldn''t get rid of it. He just listened to him.
"Tang boy, if you want to die, you must print the book well. Remember to put the manuscript away and the library should collect it. Print it all night tonight and let him take it away tomorrow. If you need extra money, the cost will be deducted from my salary." listening to Mr. Yuanzhang''s voice coming from afar, Tang Hao smiled and said to the shopkeeper, if you hear it, let''s do it.
"The first 100 printed books are bound and sent to Mr. Yuanzhang. It seems that Mr. Yao can''t go home tonight." the shopkeeper promised with a smile and returned with the manuscript.
I don''t know if Yuanzhang could leave Yao Silian to teach in the Academy, but it seems that Mr. Yuanzhang doesn''t intend to let Yao Silian go. From the two sentences of "warm winter and cold son, rich year and hungry wife", Yao Silian may be a nerd. His family must be poor, and I don''t know how Li Zhi did it. It''s a pity that such a great scholar should abandon it at will.
Tang Hao took his two children to play in the Academy for a long time before he came home. Seeing that the old housekeeper was arranging the porter to clean the courtyard, he casually asked, "housekeeper, it''s not dirty here. Why do you clean it again? I think you''ve even washed the slate again."
"General, I''m unlucky. Just now a donkey was surprised and dragged the car running wildly in the street. If our guard hadn''t cut off the donkey''s head with a knife, I don''t know how many people would be hurt. The ground is full of donkey''s blood. It can''t be washed."
Tang Hao was surprised, but he didn''t know what was wrong.
