I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 214

Chapter 214

After Lin Xuan left the palace, he stood at the palace gate for a long time and smiled.

Who doesn't have some fly-on-the-wall dogs in their lives.

As an emperor, what Li Shimin did was not wrong, why do he think so much.

……

A few days ago, the sign-in in early April rewarded tomato seeds.

Because I was busy with the opening of Moxuanzhai at that time, I didn't come in time.

What Lin Xuan wanted more was corn and sweet potato seeds.

In fact, some common vegetables in later generations already existed in the Tang Dynasty, so it doesn’t matter if there are tomatoes or not.

Lin Xuan is now very dull about signing in, and he believes that there will always be opportunities later.

Since he was given tomato seeds, they must be planted anyway, Lin Xuan got busy the next day after getting up.

Tomato planting is not difficult. Before planting, you need to soak the tomato seeds to accelerate germination. After they germinate, they are spread in the nutrient soil to raise seedlings. Root water, and soon the tomatoes will survive and grow.

……

Kong Yingda was walking on the road of Guozijian with a smile on his face.

After such a long time, the dictionary was finally compiled.

He has already sent the compiled dictionary to the book making bureau, and he only needs to wait for the engraving to be made before it can be published.

"You see, this is the paper sold by Moxuan Zhai. It is not bad at all compared to the few pennies sold by other study rooms. It's a pity that one person can only buy twenty sheets."

"This paper is really good. It costs ten sheets for a penny. How much do you want to buy? Twenty sheets are enough for you to use for a while. What else do you want to be dissatisfied with?"

"You're right, but Moxuanzhai can only buy [-] tickets per person, but there is no limit to the number of times. I'm going to buy some later after school is over."

"Really? Then I'll be with you later."

Kong Yingda was attracted by the conversation between the two, walked up and asked, "Can you show the old man the paper you are holding?"

"I've met Dr. Kong!" The two scholars saw that the person who was asking the question was Kong Yingda, and hurriedly saluted.

"Dr. Kong, please take a look!" The scholar holding the paper quickly handed it over.

Kong Yingda took the paper, checked it carefully, and found that it was similar to what he usually used.

"Is this paper really worth ten sheets?" Kong Yingda asked.

The dictionary not only contains all the characters of Datang, but also includes the meaning and pinyin of the characters.

He had been worried that there were too many words in the dictionary, and it would take a lot of paper to print them out.

As a result, the cost of dictionaries is very high, and many readers cannot afford them.

How could he not be delighted to hear that there are ten pieces of paper worth a cent now.

"Returning to Dr. Kong, it is indeed ten pieces of money." The scholar said.

"Then where is the Moxuanzhai you just mentioned?" Kong Yingda asked.

"Moxuanzhai is in Dongshi, and there are many people queuing up at the gate, so it's easy to find." The scholar said.

Kong Yingda said: "Thank you. The old man interrupted."

He couldn't wait now, and wanted to send someone to check it out, and then let the book making bureau buy this paper to print dictionaries.

"Dr. Kong, there is a rule in Moxuanzhai that one person can only buy twenty sheets. If Dr. Kong wants to buy paper, he'd better find more servants to queue up." The scholar reminded.

Kong Yingda was taken aback, and asked, "What did you say, one person can only buy twenty?"

He hadn't listened to them carefully just now, so he didn't know about it yet.

Printing dictionaries requires a lot of paper, and twenty sheets are not enough to even print the bibliography in front of it.

"Are there no exceptions?" Kong Yingda asked.

The scholar said: "The student heard that the owner behind Moxuanzhai has a great background, and so far there has been no exception."

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "I understand, thank you very much."

……

"Master, I've asked before, this is Moxuanzhai. There are too many people around outside, the carriage can't get in," said the coachman.

Kong Yingda opened the curtain and looked outside, and saw many people dressed like scholars gathered around the entrance of Moxuanzhai.

"Just stop here, you stay here guarding the carriage, the old man can go there by himself." Kong Yingda said.

"Master, how can this be done? There are so many people, what if the makeup is on the master." The coachman said worriedly.

With the support of the coachman, Kong Yingda got out of the carriage and said, "I'm not here to buy paper, what are you afraid of?"

Kong Yingda left the coachman and walked towards Moxuanzhai.

Those scholars who were queuing up showed expressions of gloating when they saw that Kong Yingda didn't wait in line.

This is not the first person not to line up.

However, Moxuanzhai's attitude is very tough. Those who don't line up will not be sold. If there is trouble, they will be driven away and will never be accepted.

Kong Yingda spent a lot of energy, and finally came to the gate of Moxuanzhai, just about to go in, but was stopped by a waiter.

"This old gentleman, if you don't queue up, the store won't sell paper." Xiaoer said.

Kong Yingda said: "The old man is not here to buy paper, the old man has something to do and wants to see your shopkeeper."

"Old man, I'm sorry, my shopkeeper is very busy and I don't have time to see you." Xiao Er said.

Xiao Er did not lie, He Xinmin was indeed very busy.

In addition, there are too many people who have come to him to discuss cooperation in the past two days. He has already explained to Xiaoer that anyone who asks him will turn back.

"Old man Kong Yingda, please report to me, brother." Kong Yingda said with a smile.

Xiaoer couldn't believe it and said, "You are Mr. Kong Yingda Kong?"

As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda has a very good reputation among the people.

Xiaoer was transferred from Huangzhuang. Although he was only a farmer before, his knowledge is better than that of ordinary people. He has heard of Kong Yingda's name.

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "This old man is right."

Xiao Er quickly said: "Mr. Kong, wait a moment, Xiao Er will go to report right away."

Not long after, He Xinmin came out in person and welcomed Kong Yingda in.

On the second floor of Moxuanzhai, there are some common books.

Because paper sales are so hot that it is too busy, the second floor is temporarily closed.

He Xinmin took Kong Yingda directly to the second floor.

"I don't know why Mr. Kong is here?" He Xinmin asked.

Kong Yingda said: "The old man came here this time because he wanted to know who the owner of Moxuanzhai is?"

He Xinmin said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Kong, the boss has told you not to tell others, so don't embarrass the younger one. If you have something to do, you can just tell the younger one. If the younger one can do it, you will do it."

When Kong Yingda heard He Xinmin's behavior, he didn't make things difficult for him, and said, "I want to buy paper. There is a lot of paper. I wonder if the shopkeeper can make the decision?"

He Xinmin smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, if there is a small amount, the small ones can still make the decision, but there is really no way to deal with a large number of small ones."

"Since mud can't be the master, I'll find someone who can. The old man told him." Kong Yingda looked like I wouldn't leave.

He Xinmin was in a bit of trouble, he couldn't let Kong Yingda be kicked out.

"I don't make things difficult for you. You go and tell your boss that Kong Yingda is asking to see you. If he doesn't see you, I will leave right away." Kong Yingda said.

He believes that with his reputation, the people behind him, no matter who they are, will always give him face and meet him once.

He Xinmin said: "Okay, Mr. Kong wait a moment, the younger one will go now."

He has nothing to do now, he can only do what Kong Yingda said.

……

Lin Xuan soaked the tomato seeds, returned to his study and began to revise "Journey to the West".

It has been several days since "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been finished, and Zhao Min has come to urge him several times.

Lin Xuan originally wanted to give him the passage before the Xuanwumen Incident in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

But he was worried that there would be some taboos in it, so he finally gave up.

But "Journey to the West" doesn't have so many worries, it only needs to change the background of the story.

However, Tang Seng was called Tang Seng because of the great Tang Dynasty. After his own modification, he must not be called Tang Seng.

In a sense, he has changed history.

Lin Xuan was slowly revising before, and there were not many left.

It didn't take long for the modification to be completed.

Lin Xuan checked it and found that there was no problem, so he asked his servant to send "Journey to the West" to Zhao Min.
