Chapter 705: A bad move?
"This..." Jin Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said against his will: "I just got one or two chapters by chance. It's really not clear what the whole book describes."
"Okay, OK," Jin Zhun looked at Jin Ming and shook his head, "There are only you and my brothers here, what else can you hide? Your previous style doesn't seem to be a little bit clear."
When Jin Ming heard this, his forehead was sweating and his lips swelled, but he couldn't speak. You know, his clan brother had made it clear that he had defamed Chen Zhi, which was politically correct. As a result, he turned around and put it on the pole and exposed it to the subordinates of Shanyu and the King of Zhongshan. Of course, the hidden worries were clear.
"Why do you have to cover it up?" Jin Zhun glanced at Jin Ming, "I know Chen Zhi is talented, so how can I blame you? If you say you have any faults, or if you don't have enough skills in nourishing your energy, you pretended well in front of me, so I couldn't even see it. Why can't you calm down when you meet this outsider talking? You will suffer a loss in the officialdom in the future."
"Oh," Jin Ming sighed when he saw this, and then said with grievance: "It's really hard for me to find out that I want to get those general articles. This Tongdian is a big book written by Chen Zhi, which is all-encompassing..."
"I have heard of this a little bit," Jin Zhun nodded, "However, I was busy with national affairs before, and I really had no time to care about it. I just knew a little. I heard that this book was just a very big tone, but it was not actually written?"
"That's just a ignorant person's words!" Jin Ming suddenly seemed a little excited, like a cat who was stepped on his tail, but then he came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "I'm a little out of control again."
Jin Zhun frowned and scolded, "You are in front of me, but there is nothing wrong with it. But if the situation just now is going to be seen again, you have to learn to suppress your thoughts when encountering such a thing in the future."
"I'm sure to follow my teachings!" Jin Ming said nothing, bowed his head and admitted his mistakes first, then noticed his cousin's expression, and continued to explain: "The reason why those are false words is actually on this "General Introduction to Tongdian". Brother, you listen to this name and take it into consideration and use it to network it. In fact, it is to explain the spirit and theme of a book. The content is even more refined and refined. It is not only a few articles that I have obtained, only looking at the content, and just a few words, I name the key points of Taoism, Legalism and Mohism, and can integrate it through what I have learned!"
"Is it so mysterious?" Jin Zhun narrowed his eyes and tapped the car board under him twice. "So, what the man said just now was not a mistake. It can attract so many people to flock to him, and what is relying on the mystery of Tongdian?"
Jin Ming immediately asked back, "Do you know, now in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, what price should you buy this whole book, the most comprehensive general introduction?"
"Since you said so..." Jin Zhun pondered for a moment, stretched out a finger, "One or two silver!"
After saying that, he smiled and said, "From your words, as well as the news that the man said just now, Chen Zhi actually wrote only one book, no more than two books at most. But what is circulated in Luoyang can only be one book, and the other full book can only be copied. In this case, no matter how exquisite the content is, it is probably difficult to really become a high price. One tael of silver, even in the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is a considerable expense. It is definitely more than enough to buy a book."
In Jin Zhun's opinion, the answer he gave actually has a lot of room for a answer.
However, Jin Ming shook his head immediately and sighed: "I think my brother probably doesn't believe it. This complete book of "General Outline of Tongdian" written on Chen's paper can be sold for ten taels of silver in Luoyang City!"
"Ten taels of silver?" Jin Zhun exclaimed, "Are people in the Central Plains crazy? They spent ten taels of silver to copy an article? Even in Luoyang, I am afraid that these ten taels of silver can be bought in the north of the city, or ten servants will actually buy a book?"
Jin Ming immediately said, "Brother, don't believe it. You should know that the general outline of Tongdians discusses hundreds of schools and the three religions. There was a public opinion on the Buddhist theories at that time. No one doubted it. However, the general outline and the other books were not spread on a large scale. They were controlled by several major families and were easily unwilling to disclose it. It was rare, let alone, the ten taels of silver I collected were not ordinary books, but bound with Chen's paper. How precious is it?"
"I know Chen's paper, which is derived from Dai County!" Jin Zhun's attention was focused on another thing, "I heard that Chen Zhi was created by the successors of the Mo family whom he recruited. He was white and thin, and was a first-class good paper. It was only sold to the Central Plains at the moment, and only the Tang family shops were available. It was not available in ordinary people. It was a rare thing. In this way, the price of these ten taels of silver was half, and it had to be on this paper!"
As he was talking, Jin Zhun was suddenly stunned. He clapped his hands and suddenly understood: "So that's it! So that's it!"
Then, he said to Jin Ming, who showed doubt on his face, "According to your words, this general outline is collected by aristocratic families in the capital, and it is easy to disseminate it. This is actually contrary to Chen Zhi's expectations. When he wrote his works, he must want to spread them to the world, to increase his reputation and be best passed on to future generations, but he was left with the aristocratic families. He was unhappy. This time, he would probably have the meaning of rectifying his name, but doing so would be quite risky..."
"Risk?" Jin Ming felt thoughtful when he heard this.
"The reason why aristocratic families treat books as treasures is because the book volume is precious. Chen Zhi took out so many book volumes at once, and it was not valuable at once. This must have a conflict with the people of the aristocratic family!" As he said this, Jin Zhun suddenly smiled, "It seems that if he went to Dai County this time, he might have seen a good show! Chen Zhi probably took a step forward!"
……………………
Just as Jin Zhun laughed, Su Liao was reporting to Chen Zhi in the county vassal office with nearly two days of information.
"Although the several aristocratic families in Daijun don't say it on the surface, they are still very dissatisfied with the sudden distribution of the "Tongdian General Outline" on a large scale. More than one person has complained and discussed it in private occasions. The main one is the complaints about the large-scale use of Daijun paper."
While speaking, Su Liao looked up at Chen Zhi and continued: "They think that this would reduce the value of Daijun paper. In addition, Zhang Jingsheng and others also expressed dissatisfaction. They felt that the spread of the "Tongdian General Introduction" would make the wealthy families in the capital unhappy."
