Shen Zhoujin saw this scene, and so did the prince.
The prince is now very good at disguise, and he has less and less baggage of the prince. He directly disguises himself as a salesman with Qin Hong, carrying a load to eight villages ten miles away, completely mingling with the people, and he is quickly regarded as a If you save your own people and pay a little money at noon, you can eat for others.
When I actually arrived at someone's house, I discovered that ordinary people really have a lot of tricks to deal with rats. They can't afford mouse traps, but they can also get rid of rats with local methods.
For example, let’s take the old saying about the mouse jumping into the well.
Find a large water tank, fill it halfway with water, and then sprinkle a layer of rice bran on the water.
In this way, at first glance, it seems that the tank is full of rice bran, with no water visible.
Then put a stick against the outside of the big water tank. When the mice smell the smell, they will climb up the stick. When they climb to the edge of the tank, they think it is all rice bran, so they jump down, and then they "Jump into the well" and drown.
Since it's hard for mice to find food in winter, I can catch a few every now and then.
But that's it for a while. In a few days, the water will freeze and this method won't work.
But the common people have other tricks.
For example, if you use soybeans to treat rats, you need to catch the rats alive, soak the soybeans, let them swell and germinate, then stuff them into the anus of the rat, and then let it go.
The mice will naturally return to their nest, but as the soybeans continue to grow and swell, the mice will suffer severe pain, and then they will hiss and bite madly. The entire nest of mice may be bitten to death by it, and then it itself will die due to the bloated stomach.
The prince listened with gusto, and the little emperor and grandson also listened with gusto.
When I came back in the evening, I communicated with Shen Zhoujin. Shen Zhoujin smiled and said: "There are many such methods. I even taught Min Zhi one yesterday."
What she taught Han Minzhi was a method commonly used in rural areas in later generations.
Just fry rice flour or corn flour, mix it with some dry cement powder, and then add a little oil to make rat poison. Once the rat eats it, the cement will solidify with moisture in its belly, and then it will be almost like soybeans. The truth is that rats will become bloated and go crazy, and they will also bite other rats to death.
The little emperor's grandson listened with big eyes and discerning eyes, and obviously found it very interesting.
Shen Zhoujin reached over, checked his pulse, and said, "It's almost done. I'll send you back when I have some time."
Qin Hong nodded obediently and asked, "Sister, won't you return to the palace during the Chinese New Year?"
"I won't go back," Shen Zhoujin said, "There is still work here, so I won't go back."
The prince touched his head, turned to her and said, "I have finished writing the Jinzhou scroll, please take a look."
Shen Zhoujin nodded, and when Huo Lingjue came back in the evening, she would watch it with him.
Because Jinzhou is just digging wells, there is nothing special, so the writing is not as "magnificent" as the previous Yongzhou, but it still continues the style of the previous volume, with detailed details, that kind of picture, that kind of person and horse, slowly The feeling of entering, understanding, and recording is really immersive.
He is definitely an excellent and extremely competent "Emperor's Eyes".
The prince is a talented man, and he is a well-organized talented man. He can write articles easily, and he has the feeling of "just picking it up at your fingertips." When he showed it to them, it was almost finalized. Anyway, Shen Zhoujin and the others looked at it and compared it. Perfect, nothing to modify.
Shen Zhoujin and Huo Lingjue spent a whole night reading it, and then Shen Zhoujin said to him: "Uncle, why don't I invite a few people to help copy it, and then send your original manuscript to the palace, and the others?" I will do this in the future when I go to cultural conferences everywhere. Those from Yongzhou will be sent to Yongzhou, and those from Jinzhou will be sent to Jinzhou..."
This kind of article about "my hometown in the eyes of outsiders" will definitely hit the g-spot of writers, and with the mailbox as a liaison, the pen name "Danqiu" will soon become popular all over the country.
First build up your reputation and determine your style, then everything will be easy to arrange later on.
After all, even if Emperor Wu Xuan has decided to depose or change the crown prince, he still needs an opportunity. Changing the crown prince is not a trivial matter, not to mention that Shen Zhoujin has promised to do things after the "deposition", so he must be even more cautious. .
The prince obviously didn't think in that direction.
He said a little strangely: "Why is this so? Although most of the people in the literary society are the leaders of a county, if they are really good and have been admitted to the capital, the ones who stay in the local area are at most a scholar... even if they are world-famous talents. , there will also be different styles. Although I am not talented, I have read poetry and books for more than 20 years. If I still need help from others, then... wouldn't I be embarrassed?"
As soon as Shen Zhoujin heard this, he knew that the prince had never made any literary friends.
He was actually worried that others would tell him how to write, but he didn't want to accept it.
The prince's temper is actually quite good, but most literati have their own little insistence on writing articles, that is, I will write like this, even if my writing is not good, don't beep, I will beep too Will not change...
But in fact, he didn't need to worry at all.
why?
First of all, this article is very good, but no matter how good the article is, after all, it is difficult to adjust the quality of the article. In the circle of literati, it is normal for literati to be dismissive of each other, but they can be dismissed. Generally speaking, no one will jump at the articles that have been written by others. Come out and "teach" you how to change it.
Because "guidance" is something that only "teachers" can do, and "master-disciple" is a very important relationship in this era, even more respectful than father and son.
If you have no relatives and no friends, and you go to teach others to write articles, don't you want to be their elders and teachers?
Even if you are really talented and several times stronger than your opponent, this is still very rude and will be ridiculed by the crowd.
Of course, this is a situation of equal exchange.
There are weird things all the time, and there may be people who think that they are so awesome that they need to give some advice on someone else's articles, but it is not rude if you just talk back to such people.
Literary character and not fearing the powerful are originally respected by literati, so if you encounter such a strange person, you can fight against him no matter who he is.
However, such people are very few after all, so normally, when the prince sends an article, he usually gets a "yes".
I have read your article, and I will give you one article. How do you generally compare it? You say that the sky is good on this floor, and I say that the rain on this floor is also strange. Different angles, or different views, and different ways of writing, this is how it works. It's called Yinghe.
Shen Zhoujinzi explained it to the prince carefully.
The prince suddenly understood and felt relieved.
Shen Zhoujin originally wanted to find someone to copy it, but then he thought...it would be a large quantity anyway, so it would be better to engrave it directly.
Regardless of whether the prince's calligraphy was good, she asked the prince to write the best one first, and used the 3D printer in the space to print out the fonts. Then she found a local bookseller and asked them to find a few people to help with typesetting and printing. Book.
Because it was a volume for each province, there were not many words. With the ready-made typefaces, and they were all experienced hands, the speed was really fast, and a batch was printed in just two days.
Shen Zhoujin and the prince went over and took a look. They saw a thin thread-bound book in a high stack, and they felt a sense of accomplishment.
Shen Zhoujin checked it, paid off his wages, put away the calligraphy models and books, and each of him and the prince took a copy and read as they walked.
When I walked to the door of the inn, I suddenly heard someone say: "My lord, stay here."
Shen Zhoujin stopped and turned around, and saw a large group of people, at least twenty or thirty scholars, coming over. The leader was a good-looking young man, who saluted and said, "But the King of Qin County?"
