Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 424

Wu Mingjin ignored it.After a while, the servant brought two porcelain cups and presented them.It was inconvenient for Wang Ci to refuse, but when he took it, he felt cold under his hands and slightly damp. When he opened the lid, he saw that the tea was slightly green, and many pearl-like bubbles came up from the bottom of the cup in strings.

A few pieces of crushed ice floated up and down in the teacup.Colliding with each other, the sound is crisp.

"Come on, have a drink first to cool off!" Wu Mingjin said, taking a sip first, looking very satisfied.

Wang Ci usually guards the way of self-cultivation, and has always been insensitive to frozen things.But the elders have a gift, and dare not refuse.I took a small sip.

At the first bite, the taste is sweet and sour, and the aftertaste still has the fragrance of mint, but it feels a little numb, as if many things burst in the mouth.It feels very strange.

After swallowing it, I felt cool and comfortable, and I couldn't help but took a second sip.

"This kvass should be drunk in one gulp, and it will lose its taste when you run away." Wu Mingjin seems to be the spokesperson of the fashionable life of the high society in Lingao.

The weather was really hot, and Wang Ci quickly finished his drink.Suddenly, I felt gas in my stomach was about to go up, so I quickly covered my face with my sleeve, hiccupped a few times, and my body felt much cooler and more comfortable.Sure enough, it is a good thing to quench your thirst!Probably Australian again.Wang Ci thought.

Wang Ci regained his composure, and reported on Xiong Buyou's visit today, and mentioned that the Australians were planning to repair the county school and Molixuan.

"The lower officials think that this matter is of great importance, and they need to ask for instructions from the Ming government."

Wu Mingjin originally had a grudge against Wang Ci's self-assessment of handing over the school land to some "Tiandihui" for tenant farming, because he heard that the teaching had been crying outside and asking for donations everywhere, always saying that the county had no money and rice for him—— ―Although this is true, it is too disregarding the leader's face.Besides, the county really has no money,

Wu Mingjin snorted; "What can I do? Since the school fields are all in their hands, is it reasonable for them to study Confucian Temple County School?" He took out a cigarette from a car-made wooden cigarette case Come.The servant next to him quickly brought a paper medium and lit it for him.

Wang Ci was very embarrassed. His understanding of being an official was not high. He didn't expect that he had offended the leader by what he said when he was encouraging donations in the past. He thought the county magistrate blamed him for arbitrarily arbitrarily giving Xuetian Dian to Tiandihui, so he stood up quickly. Said: "It's always a moment of confusion..."

"Nowadays the county doesn't have the money. Since they want to fix it, let them fix it." Wu Mingjin has completely ignored what the gangsters did. Anyway, they will do whatever they want, and they will do it themselves. No matter how much you toss, it's just a mantis arm blocking the car.

Wang Ci didn't get any ideas from Wu Mingjin, but he saw all kinds of "Australian enjoyment" of Wu County Magistrate recently. He wanted to find Master Wang, but the servant said that the master was taking a nap and didn't see any guests.I had no choice but to return to the county school in despair.

As soon as he entered the Lingxing Gate, he saw that the doorman in the gatehouse was busy with the yellow clay stove outside the house, as if he was cooking something.I saw him tearing up the book in his hand, stuffing the pages into the furnace to ignite the fire.Suddenly, a half-burned piece of paper flew to Wang Ci's chest.He grabbed it casually and was about to throw it out when his eyes widened suddenly.

This is a page of Analects!

I only cared about burning the books of the thieves, but I didn't tell my disciples to burn the Analects of Confucius.Although Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics are not rare, they are simply not available in Lingao, you have to go to Fucheng!Use it as firewood——

Wang Ci almost passed out out of breath.He was about to rush over and shout loudly.Suddenly he froze again.

This "The Analects of Confucius" is horizontal!

Books are lined up, Daming has no other family except this gang of thieves!

It turned out that the fifty books sent by the thief Kun were not the strange "Textbook for Literacy of Illiteracy", but "serious books" like the Four Books and Five Classics!Thinking of this, he roared with all his might:

"stop!"

Wang Ci sat in the hall with a rattan box under his feet.Inside were the books snatched from Zhu Rong's mouth by the rest of his life after the catastrophe.Menzi just burned water to ignite the fire, and already burned several books.Menzi was very puzzled by Wang Ci's behavior of first forcing him to burn books and then rushing over like crazy to stop him from burning books. He could only explain that it was because the weather was too hot, and Mr. Wang was probably a little obsessed.

Wang Ci couldn't care what his disciples were thinking, so he hurriedly picked up one by one.

A box of books, mostly the "Thirteen Classics", that is, the thirteen classics of Confucianism, including "Shangshu", "Zhou Li", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "Erya" and so on.This is the basis of the imperial examinations in the past.A person who can read the Thirteen Classics thoroughly was considered an intellectual in ancient times.

There used to be a complete set of the Thirteen Classics in the box, but several copies had been burned by Menzi. In this set of Thirteen Classics, except for the page opening to the right and the font horizontally, there was not a single vulgar typeface in the book, and the printing was extremely poor. excellent.In ordinary books, the lines that separate the lines of words are completely gone, but the lines between the words are neatly arranged on the top, bottom, left, and right sides. This kind of effect of black letters and white paper on a pure white background is the best Song edition that Wang Ci has seen in the past. None in the book.I don't know how the Australians do it.

Wang Ci felt that the only thing wrong was that they all added sentence reading. Naturally, this way of reading would save a lot of effort, but the Australian sentence reading—he was really worried, how could this group of overseas barbarians understand the saint? What about the semantics?

Randomly picked a book, looked at it, and found that there was no mistake in the pronunciation of the sentences. Wang Cinahan: Aren't Australians so vulgar!

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, so I looked at the other books in it, and there was a set of commentaries on the Thirteen Classics.In fact, this is Zhou Dongtian's pirated version of Zhonghua Book Company's "Thirteen Classics Qingren Commentary Series".Since ancient times, many people have commented on the Thirteen Classics, and the commentaries on the Thirteen Classics in the Qing Dynasty reached a new peak, especially in the interpretation of scriptures and the textual research on the name and object system, which surpassed the previous dynasties.When Zhou Dongtian chose to pirate, he also considered: first, he must have high academic achievements, and second, he must not be the works of the previous generation-this will not show the ability of the time-traveling group, so the research results of the Qing Dynasty will bear the brunt of it. stolen.

Of course he has read the commentary on the Thirteen Classics, but it is the first time he has seen the book in front of him.It is natural to think that this commentary is made by Australians.After reading a few pages, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed - the level of this commentary is by no means inferior to the previous generations of commentators since the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties he had read.Wang Ci couldn't help being confused.

If we say that Australians are a group of rough and ignorant guys, the standard of Confucian classics is obviously not low. If we say that they are very learned, they use vulgar characters indiscriminately, and their writing style is extremely vulgar.

"What a bunch of weirdos." Wang Ci felt more and more confused.Could it be that the real great Confucianism stayed in Australia and did not come out?But with such a great Confucianism, how can they tolerate such nonsense from this group of people?I don't know who is the king of the Australians.

After flipping through it casually, he was surprised again - he saw the "Big Dictionary".The so-called big dictionary is actually the "Kangxi Dictionary" collated by Zhonghua Book Company.Naturally, the name of Kangxi no longer exists.

"Kangxi Dictionary" is based on two Ming Dynasty calligraphy books "Zihui" and "Zhengzitong", with additions and "identification of doubts and corrections".However, at this time, "Zheng Zi Tong" had not yet been completed - it was officially published in the last years of Chongzhen.The "Kangxi Dictionary" of Zhonghua Book Company pirated by the time travelers is not only the collation of the Daoguang period, but also the modern collation results. Wang Ci was shocked when such a collection of ancient and modern calligraphy was presented.After reading a few pages, I feel that Australians are unfathomable.

These books are not only finely collated, but also so exquisitely printed that he can't put it down.It is a habit for scholars to love books. When Wang Ci came to the post, even though he had traveled thousands of miles, he asked his relatives to pick up a box of books.Seeing this box of books, Wang Ci's greed arose.Anyway, this is a gift for him, and it is only natural for him to keep it for himself.

Thinking of this, he became much less wary of Xiong Buyou.He couldn't help thinking the same as Wu Mingjin - since he couldn't stop him, he might as well let them do it, anyway, would it be beneficial to Lingao?

With this thought in mind, when Xiong Buyou came back the next day, Wang Ci's attitude became more cooperative.Wang Ci brought him a second gift—subsidy.

In the past, when the Time Traveling Group distributed subsidies to the county government, unfortunately, it forgot about Wang Ciji - firstly, he does not work in the county government, and most of the modern people do not know that there is such a person as Jiaoyu in the county. official.Fortunately, it is not too late to correct it.

Wang Ci declined as usual, but, as Xiong Buyou estimated, the officials of this time and space obviously do not regard this kind of income as a crime.Furthermore, considering the predicament of this teaching teacher, the money is extremely useful to him.

The next day, the construction team of Lingao Construction Company entered Molixuan.This famous Song Dynasty building was nothing more than a small hut in the early Ming Dynasty.It was not until 1455 that it was renovated into "Dawaxuan" and became an academy.

The entire Jasmine Pavilion is small in scale, but it is not crude: stone pillars, glazed tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, it can be seen that a lot of effort was spent in the construction.

Although it has been repaired many times in the past 200 years, it is old after all.After investigation, the decay of the wooden structure was very serious. .The walls and roof are also damaged and leaking in many places-they are already in disrepair.Among the traversers, there is no one who specializes in ancient architecture. Fortunately, Lingao Construction Company has recruited many carpenters from this time and space from immigrants, and it is no problem to repair houses.

The wood, bricks, lime, etc. needed to repair Jasmine Pavilion are a piece of cake for the Time Traveling Group.Sufficient materials, on-site workers, and on-site management by modern construction workers, completed the dismantling, replacement and renovation of the entire Molixuan in less than five days.A week later, the main structure of Molixuan has been restored to its original appearance, and the painting work has started.
