Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 191 Will it be too ostentatious
"Siming, you Huguang Xiao Sanyuan is well-deserved of your reputation, and you have done a good job in poetry! You only need to die for the country on the battlefield, why do you need to return the shrouded body in horse leather. You are really manly!"

Zhu Houzhao praised loudly again.

Obviously like these two sentences very much.

"Thank you, General, for your praise!"

Qin Shao wanted to say that he didn't write it himself.

He is good at classics and arithmetic, but poetry is his weakness.

It's just that the more this matter is explained, the more chaotic it will become.

What can he say?
Could it be said that it was written by a patriotic literati in the Qing Dynasty?
So how to explain the Qing Dynasty?Could it be said that it was the Qing Dynasty that destroyed the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Houzhao will definitely fight himself hard!
Observing and understanding these days, he has discovered:
This is an emperor who is full of the world and has the ability to expand the territory!

If you can predict the ending of Daming in the future, you will definitely make preparations early.

just not if...

Qin Shao can't say that it was written by someone in this era.

Nowadays, written information is underdeveloped, and the written documents left by the predecessors are basically kept in the royal library.

And because there is a poetry link in the scientific examination.

Scholars in this era, not to mention Jinshi, even those who have been admitted as scholars, can basically recite the poems of some famous people in their predecessors by heart.

It is Qin Shao, because now he is taking the scientific examination, he has memorized many things that he did not memorize in his previous life, but now he memorizes them fluently.

Therefore, in this era of scientific examination, if you want to copy the poems of the predecessors, it will definitely not work, and the examiner will be able to tell at a glance.

"Siming, there are quite a few people in the imperial court who can compose poems, but there are not many who can compose frontier poems, and there are not many who are capable of writing and martial arts! My men in the Ming Dynasty still need more sons who are not afraid of being shrouded in leather horses!"

Zhu Houzhao took another drink and sighed.

"That's what the general said!"

Qin Shao could only agree.

"By the way, I heard that you are going to open a bookstore?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly changed the subject, probably listening to what Lin Tong said.

"Yes, I came to Beijing for a while to study and study here. I can't just sit and eat, and I have a lot of family members. I always have to do something. And the bookstore can help scholars and spread culture."

Qin Shao didn't know why Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked this question.

When replying, I can only try to raise the tone as much as possible. Anyway, flattering and self-improvement should not cause problems.

"Well, that's right. Bookstores spread culture and make profits for the people. The Taizu advocated that the people of the country should read more books, and the policy bookstores are tax-free!"

Zhu Houzhao agreed.

"General, the layout of my bookstore is almost done now, all I need is to carve a signboard, but the name of the bookstore has not been decided yet. I wonder if the general can help me think of a name for the store?"

With the help of Jiu Jin, Qin Shao said it directly.

Since the bookstore has a celebrity effect, it is natural to hug if it has thighs!

Wubiju's business is booming because of holding King Xing's thigh before!Now in Shangjing, if you can meet Zhu Houzhao, you will not hug Dabai!

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Bin and Wang Yun looking at him in surprise.

They knew that someone asked the emperor for a reward, but they haven't heard of anyone who opened a shop and asked the emperor to name it.

What's more, it's just a small book shop!

"Famous people write their names and inscriptions, and then they will naturally attract people to go."

An Yongzhen didn't understand the situation, so she directly agreed.

He heard Qin Shao call this person a general, so he knew that he should be someone with some official position.

After coming to Beijing these days, An Yongzhen is not surprised to know that the worst people in Beijing are officials with some official positions.

However, this official position is not low, and Qin Shao asked him to name the store, so he should have some cultural heritage.

Why don't we help out with signboards?

The main reason is that this bookstore will also be related to An Yongzhen's food problem in the future, so he is naturally very concerned.

When they were in Anlu Prefecture, many shops near them asked local officials to write and sign their signs, which not only had a celebrity effect, but also served as a shelter.

"Hahaha! This general has never given a name to the store, let alone wrote a signboard! Ziming, I didn't bring a gift today, so it's a free meal! And I was bitten by a dog before, and you can be regarded as a meritorious doctor. I will take over the signboard of this shop name!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little taken aback at first, but then burst out laughing.

He is an out-of-the-box person, loves to play and make trouble, and finds it very interesting.

……

Three days later, when Qin Shao received the inscription of the store name of "Jinghua No. [-] Study Room" sent by Lin Tong, he was still shocked for a while.

He didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to have such a blatant name.

The word "Jinghua" is good, which fits Zhu Houzhao's style very well.

Is it just that "first" is too ostentatious?

You must know that there are many large bookstores in Beijing, and they all have some background to be able to do it.

Will he...

However, Qin Shao accepted it in his heart when he saw the inscribed person: Zhu Shou below.

Since he dared to write, he dared to use it, no big deal!
Qin Shao handed over the paper for the inscription to Wang Yin, and asked him to give it to the engraver and printer in the back house to make the engraving.

"Ziming, your method is good! Your method is good!"

Qin Shao had just finished the work at hand and hadn't caught his breath yet.

An Yongzhen rushed in with a stack of printed paper.

"Ziming, you asked me to pick out some of the characters commonly used by those movable type and print this propaganda tabloid. Don't tell me, as long as the typesetting is good, printing is fast, much faster than handwriting. After half a day, it has been printed nearly Two thousand copies!"

An Yongzhen said excitedly.

After those fonts were brought back, Qin Shao gave An Yongzhen a job.

Let him and a few literate people select out the font patterns that are often written and have a relatively high frequency.

Roughly picked more than 2000.

Then, according to the pronunciation sequence, the same and close to the pronunciation are arranged together on the fixed wall shelf.

In short, it is the sequence classification placed on the wall panel.

After he finished writing the advertisement page, he asked them to type according to the written content.

Typesetting with those fonts.

Because there is a sequence, it is convenient to search, and the typesetting can be completed quickly. As for printing, only the version is available, which is even more convenient.

……

The past few days in Beijing have been very lively.

In the streets and alleys, many places know that there is a family bookstore opened in Xuanwumen.

The reason is that many people have received leaflets.

"Oh! You said that I can't read and can't read, so why did you send me flyers?"

Someone is flattered.

"You received it too? I have it too! Let me tell you that this bookstore not only sells books, but also sells tea and pastries! There are also theater performances on the second floor! It says that the first week is free, and you only need to spend 5 You can just buy a bowl of tea with pennies."

"That's right, if you don't read books, you can go to an opera and drink tea!"

"What play? I've never heard of the name of this troupe. Could it be from Ye Lu?"

"Anyway, it's cheap, no money, let's just go and see the excitement!"

"Yes, you can still draw a lottery!"

"What lottery?"

"It means that if you spend 20 coins, you can participate in the lottery and get prizes."

"What? And prizes?"

"Yes, the first prize is five feet of flannelette!"

"Five feet? Is that worth a lot of taels of silver?"

"That's right, it basically costs 30 taels of silver! It's our family's annual income!"

"Hurry up, what are the prizes? I can't read, and I don't even understand this leaflet, so read it quickly!"

"1 first prize, five feet of flannelette worth 50 taels; 10 second prizes, 1 stone of rice; 100 third prizes, half a bucket of rice! Fourth prize, all participants, a little candy!"

"Ouch! This is great! You can also send gifts when you buy things, you must try it!"

"Let me tell you, I have relatives in Huguang, and this has been popular there for a long time. Our boss in Shangjing is the one who instigates us and doesn't give out gifts! This time it's finally our turn, Shangjing people!"

"What about the money that can be deposited in advance? What does this mean? What is it called a membership card?"

"That is, if you deposit money in advance, you can buy things cheaper, and I will give you a voucher when the time comes."

A knowledgeable reader passed by and pointed out.

"You said it's better to study, we don't study, we can't understand this stuff!"

"Then let your eldest grandson study!"

"Hey! It's just that reading is a bit expensive. This book is expensive, and sir is also expensive. I don't want to study to be an official, as long as I can read and write! It's not good to be illiterate in this day and age! Don't give me this leaflet. A grandson, take it back and let them learn the characters above."

"Don't you have a piece of paper? I want to show my son! This is a paper with writing. This paper with writing was only available in bookstores before, but it cost money to buy. This is not necessary. money!"

……

Leopard Square.

"What do you think is the name of Qin Shaofa's?"

"Propaganda page."

Jiang Bin replied.

"Don't mention it, the promotional page, let it be announced, the name is good! Don't mention it, this promotional page is really interesting. I didn't expect this kid to have so many ways to do business. It is said that Huguang people are smart and good at doing business. Born with a nine-headed bird, sure enough...hahaha! There is also a lottery!"

"Your Majesty, is it useful to open a shop and write so many things on a piece of paper?"

Jiang Bin was very puzzled.

Even though he could read some characters, but not many, it gave him a headache to see so many characters on it.

"You! Although you are brave, you still have to read more books! Even though those scholars in the court are hateful, reading can really improve your skills. Look at Qin Shao... By the way, isn't it opening tomorrow? Let's go and see, too. By the way, participate in a lottery or something?"

"Your Majesty, there are so many people, you...do you really want to go?"
