Liu Jian's abrupt question made Xiao Jing stunned for a moment.

How dare he read this book when he was put in a box?

Did you get the manuscript wrong?

Xiao Jing immediately said: "I took this from the Duke of Qi personally. I dare not neglect the whole way. The box has never been opened and has not passed by anyone else's affairs. Duke Liu... don't joke."

This is certainly not a joke.

This is the manuscript of Duke Qi, and everyone is looking forward to it. Although Duke Liu said that the manuscript was taken wrong, it means that it is not an implication. Is it possible that Xiao Jing is confused about his work?

Xiao Jing can't afford this relationship!

Liu Jian looked up at Xiao Jing, and then realized that he had made a mistake.

His words were indeed somewhat directed at Eunuch Xiao.

After all, Eunuch Xiao is the leader of the inner palace. He is the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and also in charge of the Dongchang. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he must maintain a good relationship with such a person.

only……

The reason why he was wrong is that this manuscript is really... strange...

The first page he read... was actually the almanac.

Almanac...

This almanac not only records the date, but also records the good and bad luck of each day in detail, so naturally the farming time is indispensable...

He Fang Jifan...what is this kind of book he has compiled?

Is this almanac still necessary for him to practice it?

After Liu Jian thought about it carefully, he still felt... Is there something wrong... With the identity and ability of Duke of Qi, how could he write such a book?

He found it incredible, and next, he had to bite the bullet and continue reading...

And in fact...it's right now...

Emperor Hongzhi's face was not much better.

Because... what Emperor Hongzhi reads... there is no elegance in this manuscript, and the whole article is full of vulgar words.

The words used are actually spoken.

What is spoken language?

That is the words and sentences that people say verbally, which are vulgar in the eyes of any scholar, because there is nothing, and there is no parallelism, let alone rhyme.

Not only that... the text here actually borrows a lot of cursive script.

Many of the characters are clearly simplified from the current style of the Pavilion.

That's fine...

The content inside... becomes even more superficial.

What Emperor Hongzhi saw... was not the old almanac, but the three tips for growing cotton.

How to irrigate, how to sow...

Simple and clear.

Emperor Hongzhi had a gloomy face and continued to read downwards. The next article was... First aid if you encounter trauma.

This...is the book compiled by Fang Jifan?

This... is so vulgar.

There are countless books in the palace, and Emperor Hongzhi also loves reading books. He has read books for half his life, but has never seen such a shallow book.

I originally thought... there was another treasure book similar to the Four Books and Five Classics in the world, who would have thought...

He was still unbelievable, so he continued to look through, hoping to find something that made his eyes shine. The next thing was the benefit of washing hands frequently. He used extremely vulgar words to tell everyone that because they touched everything, they grew insects. Not only did the disease come from the mouth, but also the disease came from the hands, so they needed to wash their hands before meals.

Just such an understatement...

This...this...it's over...

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath, his heart was heavy, and what was even more terrifying... what was written later... was actually about seven common sense about pregnant women...

Emperor Hongzhi's old face turned red...

He suddenly realized, looked up suddenly... and immediately looked at Liu Jian...

Liu Jian frowned and continued to look through the almanac. After the almanac, there were some small knowledge about mountains, rivers and geography, which were extremely simple. It was nothing more than what are the five mountains in the world, what are rivers and so on.

Xie Qian could no longer bear to continue reading. The manuscript he divided into was some simple prescriptions for curing diseases.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi lifting his eyes and looking straight at the void, without any brilliance in his eyes.

Obviously... Emperor Hongzhi felt cold to such vulgar books.

He once sent great hope.

But how could I think of this... Fang Jifan... thinking about this...

The greater the hope a person has, the greater the disappointment it will be.

But at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "I... I have issued an order and ordered someone to copy the mansion report?"

Xiao Jing was confused, but nodded: "Yes, for this book, Your Majesty did..."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air again, and then looked at Liu Jian: "Have you seen it in Liu Qing's family?"

"I've read it." Liu Jian smiled bitterly, "Old minister... think... this book... um... um... um... um... um... is really unique."

Well, the expression was very subtle and also gave Fang Jifan a very considerate face.

Emperor Hongzhi was amused and crying: "Don't cover up Jifan. This book is really a joke, but it makes you all laugh. Jifan... is clearly full of knowledge, but he wrote these inappropriate things. It can be seen that he really regards this knowledge as a plaything. Oh... I am very ashamed."

Emperor Hongzhi blushed.

This is my son-in-law.

Wouldn’t it be a joke to write such a thing?

The son-in-law is embarrassed, but the father-in-law is also lost!

So Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and looked at Xiao Jing and said, "I gave Fang Jifan an imperial edict to scold him, saying that he should have done his own thing, but now he is teasing me so much. I don't care about his crime of deceiving the king. It's just... this book is really vulgar. I will assume that this book has not been edited in the future, and no one is allowed to mention it again."

Xiao Jing looked surprised.

He couldn't understand why such a book would make His Majesty so unhappy.

Didn’t Fang Jifan always know His Majesty’s mind best?

Although Xiao Jing was not understanding Emperor Hongzhi's mood at this time, he reacted quickly and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late... Then Duke Qi said when I came, and he said... This is his proud work, pointing to this book to carry forward his knowledge. Therefore, two days ago, after the book was roughly completed, he ordered people to copy and go to the printing workshop, and ordered people to carve the plates for printing, and to print them... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that at this time, it's almost... the book should be spread."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment when he felt like a bolt from the blue.

Liu Jian and the other two couldn't help but look horrified.

Isn't this a joke?

Such books, if they are named Duke Qi, will inevitably pay attention to countless people. I am afraid that once this book is launched, it will be popular for a while, and then...

This is enough to shame the court.

Liu Jian's face became serious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty... the old minister thought... he should send someone to the printing workshop, retrieve the copy and destroy the carved papers. If it has been printed, these books should be burned immediately, so as not to... let Your Majesty..."

Li Dongyang, who had been silent just now, had a different view: "Your Majesty, since the Duke of Qi has spent such thoughts, would it be of other intentions after he wrote this work? The books written by his disciples have been read by me. All of them are magnificent works, which are refreshing and can be savored carefully. If the disciples are like this, their teachers... should not be so... so unbearable."

The Fengtian Palace fell into a dead silence.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, frowned, and said, "I'll take a look."

He was a little tired.

…………

The printing workshop starts day and night, and all the papers used are the lowest, and everything is based on cost savings.

In recent years, the printing industry has gradually begun to develop, its scale has gradually increased, and some new skills have also begun to be promoted. Therefore, whenever there are copybooks sent here, craftsmen can quickly type and print them immediately.

Especially the books of Duke Qi, no one dared to neglect them.

There is a special papermaking workshop in Xishan called Xishan Paper. Of course... It was originally used to be a printing weekly magazine, but now when the copy is delivered, it starts to move up and down.

Bundles of new books are printed directly.

The only thing that makes people speechless is that most of these printers are literate, but... this book is very strange!

Even many characters need to be re-engraved.

Of course... because of the simplification of the font shape, the cost is greatly reduced. The more complex the font shape, the more ink is spent, and the higher the requirements for paper are required. However, although this simple font shape has been re-engraved, it saves a lot of effort. Some craftsmen have done some experiments with relatively inferior paper. Such inferior paper is likely to cause excessive rendering of ink marks. If the font shape is too complicated, it will inevitably become a ball. However, even if the font shape is simple, it will appear to be roughly solved.

In addition, there is also the cost of ink. The cost of this ink is actually extremely large. It is a little less. If you can print ten or hundreds of copies, you can't see it. But once you print more, the cost you can save is almost the pure profit of the printing workshop, which is amazing.

Several craftsmen in charge of proofreading looked at the book and were confused. They all had a question in their hearts... Is this really written by the Duke of Qi?

This is not right...

Duke of Qi is a master, but he has many talents all over the world...
