After following these civil servants and attending several banquets and watching several singing and dancing performances, Sheng Changbai blended in with these civil servants.
After being accepted by the group, Sheng Changbai no longer needs to hang out with these people all the time.
This kind of meaningless collective activities has been reduced.
They are already the best group of people in Dazhou Jingyi. They think about some erotic words every day and pursue the girls in the brothels.
Why waste your brain on something that can be solved with money?
With so much time, it's not a good idea to do anything.
After Sheng Changbai had the idea of writing something, he also became concerned about this matter.
The easiest way to become famous is by writing poems and lyrics. Short films are the easiest to spread. Even if Sheng Changbai is not good at writing, he has memorized three hundred ancient poems. He can also recite poems without being able to write them. In his mind, he also remembers many that can be spread to the public.
Famous articles for later generations.
When you find a suitable opportunity, it doesn't mean you can't write a few songs according to the situation.
It can be said that the ancient poems that can be handed down have passed the test of time. Even if it is a limerick, it is the best among limericks.
You don’t need too many good poems. Eight or ten of them are enough to make Changbai famous.
But writing poems and lyrics did not really help the situation in the Zhou Dynasty.
The literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already very prosperous, and there was no need for Sheng Changbai to help.
In terms of art, the Zhou Dynasty has made great achievements.
Without any changes, higher literary and artistic achievements can still be achieved.
The Zhou Dynasty treated the civil servants favorably, and officials did not dare to delegate power. The reason for the serious redundancy of officials was a large number of civil servants.
In fact, there are no jobs, or there are jobs. If you work on a job for four or five times, you will still get nothing.
The salaries in the Great Zhou Dynasty were quite high. These people had no jobs and no worries about food and clothing. They all wrote poems and lyrics and contributed to the arts.
This is a scholar who has an official position and is supported by the court.
Scholars who have no support from the court and no pressure to survive can only do these things all day long.
Whether they are dissatisfied with the current situation or think that their talents are not appreciated, they have no actual actions and choose to write poems and lyrics to become trolls.
What the Zhou Dynasty lacks now is pragmatic thinking.
What Sheng Changbai wants to spread is to be practical and pragmatic. Of course, he should write something practical and meaningful.
To be meaningful and suitable for dissemination, there are not many choices available.
After thinking about it, imperial examination textbooks are still the most popular.
Sheng Changbai's status as an annotation for the Commentary on Classics and Meanings is not high enough now, so even if he wrote it, it would not be circulated.
With Sheng Changbai's current status, he can only be said to be a celebrity in the literary world, far from the level of a great Confucian scholar.
In the end, Sheng Changbai could only write the Three Character Classic in advance for Meng Tong.
Although there are original sources to rely on, it is also because of the specious nature of history.
Sheng Changbai also needs to make some modifications in time for some missing allusions, and the dynasty can only end with the Zhou Dynasty.
A few sentences were originally written by later generations and have been deleted.
After targeting the literati, Sheng Changbai did not forget the largest group of illiterate people.
According to a living sacred book of later generations, Sheng Changbai also compiled an ancient version of the Barefoot Doctor's Manual.
This is much more troublesome to write, because the printing cost of books is relatively expensive for ordinary people, and Sheng Changbai cannot write too much.
It can only be simplified and then simplified. I can only write about some common diseases, diagnosis of common diseases, prevention of common diseases, common herbal medicines, and common treatment prescriptions.
He wrote too little and nearly a hundred pages. Even if Sheng Changbai didn't ask for money, the cost of printing a book would still be 500 words.
Because there are illustrations of common herbal medicines, the printing should not be too rough.
When the book must be written in a way that is easy to understand and has a reduced number of words, Sheng Changbai finally realized the significance of classical Chinese.
Although this manual is not perfect, it is already more difficult for ordinary people to treat diseases.
I can only go up the mountain casually, dig up some medicinal materials, and then let nature take its course. The treatment will be much more effective.
There is no requirement. Every villager in the village buys a copy. Most of them are illiterate. No matter how popular Sheng Changbai writes, these people can't understand it.
I just hope that the barefoot doctor in the village can prepare a copy.
If there is anyone in the village who can read, buy a copy.
"Father, these are two books written by children. Please help me correct them."
After writing it, Sheng Changbai approached Sheng Hong. Except for money, Sheng Changbai was more casual in his control.
Sheng Changbai really didn't have control over the Sheng family's other resources and promotion matters, so he had to let Sheng Hong do it.
Although Sheng Changbai's work is considered leisurely, he has already filled his schedule with things.
In order to avoid the turmoil in the court in recent years, Sheng Hong positioned himself to avoid real power and only did idle work, which was extremely leisurely.
"The words are concise and concise, the writing is fluent, it is easy to understand and easy to read. This three-character essay is excellent. My son Chang Baiguo is a great talent, and he can write such a wonderful article even if he is not as good as Xiao Guan!" Sheng Hong has read the three-character essay.
Afterwards, people burst into praise.
There are only more than a thousand words in the Three-Character Classic. Sheng Hong can read it quickly. He is also a person who has passed the Jinshi. Sheng Hong's literary accomplishment is not low.
Just by reading it through once, I realized the value of some of the Three Character Classic.
Although Sheng Changbai only dared to name the book a three-character text, the content is the basis of the "Classic".
‘Sutra’ has a supreme status in traditional culture.
The Three-Character Classic is just an enlightenment book, and later generations can call it a "jing". Of course, it is better than other enlightenment books such as "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand-Character Classic".
The writing is simple and easy to understand and learn. The whole article only has 1,100 words. Excluding repeated words, there are more than 550 words left, which are basically commonly used words.
The sentence structure is neat and easy to read, with three characters per sentence, short and concise, and four or six sentences that rhyme at the same time. The tone is harmonious, similar to a nursery rhyme, and it reads in a rhythmic and catchy way.
The outline is comprehensive and the structure is rigorous. The content of the Three Character Classic can be roughly divided into six parts: teaching relationship, etiquette and human relations, system of names and objects, Confucian classics, history, and encouragement to learn.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It pays attention to rhetoric and is rich in content. The Three Character Classic uses a variety of rhetorical methods such as parallelism, analogy, repetition, etc., and uses a large number of allusions.
"Father, if you think this three-character text is not bad, you can give it to Wei Xiaoniang and use it as enlightenment reading material for Changtong. From now on, this book can be designated as the enlightenment book for the children of our Sheng family."
Sheng Changbai also played some tricks with Sheng Hong.
Sheng Xiaoqi is over three years old and can memorize some articles and poems.
The original intention of writing the Three Character Classic was for the children of the Sheng family, which would make Sheng Hong happy the most.
Sheng Hong is also the head of the family, and he likes to be coaxed and played by everyone at home.
Lin Zongshuang, Mo Lan, and Chang Feng all like to coax Sheng Hong, make him happy, and do whatever they want.
If you can't beat him, you join him and want Sheng Hong to work hard for you.
Sheng Changbai is about to start coaxing Sheng Hong to play.
"Absurd." Sheng Hong said excitedly: "How can such a wonderful article be regarded as the private property of my Sheng family? It should be dedicated to the official family and handed over to the official family for publication to benefit all the young boys in the world."
"What the father said is that the child is selfish."
Sheng Changbai still has not integrated into the times and is not accustomed to the way of doing things in the feudal era. The pattern is small.
If you want to promote a book as quickly as possible, why bother yourself? Just go to the emperor and let him do it.
Under normal circumstances, Sheng Changbai could not see the emperor, nor could he present his books to the emperor.
However, Sheng Hong had been in the officialdom for nearly twenty years and sent the Three-Character Sutra to the emperor.
Let the emperor see it, and it can still be operated.
As long as there are people with enough weight, it is not difficult to recommend them to the emperor.
It's rare to be able to ask someone with such a big deal.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Just leave it to my father. Just wait until the officials see the book and summon you."
Sheng Hong took over the whole matter.
It's no wonder that the three members of Lin Qige's family all like to coax Sheng Hong.
Being accustomed to Wang Ruofu being domineering and strong, Sheng Hong liked to do the same thing regardless of whether he understood it or not.
"Father, there is another book, haven't you read it?"
Sheng Changbai reminded Sheng Hongdao.
Maybe these ancient scholar-officials would pay more attention to the Three Character Classic.
But in Sheng Changbai's view, the Barefoot Doctor's Manual is a book that can directly save countless lives.
The value is much more important than elementary school books like the Three Character Classic.
"The Barefoot Doctor's Manual, Bai'er, when did you become proficient in the art of Qihuang?"
After looking at the name, Sheng Hongjiu asked, looking like he didn't take it seriously.
"It's just a general knowledge, but not a master."
Sheng Changbai's medical skills have not yet found a good source.
It’s hard to say, so I looked at a few medical books collected at home and found that the medical skills were even higher than those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital.
"Bai'er, although my father is not familiar with Qihuang, he also understands Chinese medicine, which pays attention to looking, hearing, asking and feeling. Your medical book does not even have the basic pulse feeling, so it still lacks some rigor."
After reading it for a few times, Sheng Hong disdained this manual even more.
Just prescribing the right medicine is still too basic and too rigid.
Compared with the Huangdi Neijing, Suwen, and Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases collected at home, the medical aspects are much simpler.
"Father, this book is not for educated doctors. This book is for charlatans, street doctors, and rural doctors. When I was in Youyang, my child discovered that some When the villagers and farmers in the village get sick, they simply look down on the doctor and cannot afford medicine. I wrote this book in the hope that these people will have a way to survive after they get sick. If you know a scholar who knows some words, you can follow the picture to find out. Treat simple illnesses."
Even if the economy of the Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, the largest class of civilians could not afford to see a doctor or take medicine.
Wei Xiaoniang sold herself into the family and became Sheng Hong's concubine because someone in her family was sick.
"As a father, I still need to think about this matter. I need to think about it first. I will wait for you as a father. I will take this medical book and find a few medical officials to discuss it later. Human life is a matter of great importance and cannot be careless. The disease is not right and the prescription is wrong. , if the disease cannot be cured, it will affect your reputation, Bai'er."
After listening to Sheng Changbai's words, Sheng Hong's face became more serious as he replied.
When it comes to serving as an official, Sheng Hong is basically qualified.
There are also some who, after having enough food and clothing and satisfying their personal needs, have ambitions for the world.
Sheng Hong may be inviting names, but it doesn't matter whether he invites names or not.
In the feudal dynasty, if literati did not seek fame, they would have nothing to gain.
No matter what Sheng Hong's starting point is, what Sheng Hong does.
It basically meets the standards of a qualified scholar-bureaucrat.
"The boy is waiting for news about his father."
Sheng Hong was not reassured, even if Sheng Changbai was willing to publish the Barefoot Doctor's Manual at his own expense, it seemed unlikely.
Others publish their own collections of poems and essays at their own expense to gain fame for themselves.
Sheng Changbai published medical skills at his own expense, which also has the same effect but similar approaches.
…
Both books are not that fast to promote.
The Three Character Classic needs to be spread within a small area first and be recognized by Sheng Hong’s colleagues and friend groups.
After a group of literati recognized it, Sheng Hong came to the door and went to find real important ministers to help recommend him.
Medical books are a little more troublesome, even if it's just a basic illness.
However, Sheng Changbai's medical knowledge was both Chinese and Western, and when he wrote the book, he unconsciously incorporated some novel theories.
Even a simple verification is quite troublesome.
These things were left to Sheng Hong, and Sheng Changbai had some free time.
I just wanted to start the farming business first.
Sheng Changbai has accumulated a lot of fine varieties in his hands, and he can plant one on a small scale.
No matter how prosperous the commerce of the Great Zhou Dynasty was, this feudal dynasty was still an agricultural society.
Farming is the foundation of the country. After officials are sent out to serve as officials, as long as they are not in border states, the most important thing is to encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees and promote science and education.
After having enough good seeds in his hands, Sheng Changbai went out to the outside world, whether it was to know the state or to be the general magistrate, it would not be too easy to achieve political achievements.
The few high-quality seeds that I have obtained through signing up are still a little slow when propagated on one acre of land in the small world.
After three years, the seeds have been accumulated to a certain scale, and we can consider breeding outside.
If you want to farm, you need land, and the Sheng family has a lot of land.
Mrs. Sheng has fields in her hands, Sheng Hong has fields in her hands, Wang Ruofu also has dowry fields in her hands, and even Lin Jiaoshuang has fields purchased by Sheng Hong.
Speaking of the land in Lin Zongshuang's hands, we have to say that Sheng Hong has no principles when he is made happy.
What he keeps saying is that he is afraid that if the mother-in-law has no assets, the concubine and concubine will have no support and will be easily controlled and punished.
I am a bastard, and I don’t want my children to live the same life as I was a child again.
He properly distributed the Sheng family's commonwealth to Lin Zongshuang and turned it into Lin Zongshuang's private property, harming the common people and enriching private interests, and it was a slippery operation.
On Xiaoniang Wei's side, she also entered the house alone, without any money, and also gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Sheng Hong could not see at all that Wei Xiaoniang and the other three had no support, and Minglan and Xiao Qichangtong were living the same life as himself, where everything was controlled by others when they were born as concubines.
"Mom, my child recently got a batch of good seeds and needs a good field to try planting them."
After much deliberation, if Sheng Changbai wanted to get a piece of land that he could control at will, it would be easiest for him to find Wang Ruofu.
It would be possible to ask Sheng Hong for a piece of land to plant.
But Lin Zhishuang should have guessed whether Sheng Changbai had started fighting for the family property and didn't know how to cause trouble in the back house.
