Zhou Chengming's system, the national policy of the Great Zhou still emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen rank at the top.
Although the status of merchants was improved after Emperor Chongrui ascended the throne, the way of merchants was still regarded as a side-minded person.
All are inferior, only those who study well, and only those who take the imperial examination are the right way.
Moreover, if you have business experience, you will be affected to a certain extent during the imperial examination and political review.
Therefore, Jia Chen will not go into business before he is on the list of the gold list.
So how can you make money?
Jia Chen thought for a long time, and suddenly a sentence came out of his mind:
"A gentleman has three immortals: establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words."
Among them, "establishing words" means that articles with insightful opinions are spread in the present, recorded in history, and spread in future generations.
Jia Chen's eyes lit up. He could write books to make money!
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, writings and other works are a great achievement that can be remembered forever.
So, what should I write?
As his thoughts flew, Jia Chen remembered the four books "The Rules of Disciples", "The Four Lessons of Life", "The Night Talk of the Fire" and "Cai Gen Tan".
These books have not been published yet, but can be copied and engraved and sold.
Although writing books and making money is also a businessman, it is by no means a low-key businessman. Not only is it decent, it is respected, but it can even be famous and well-known.
During the imperial examination and political review, it will not only not be affected, but will also become a plus point, allowing the examiner to take a high look.
In his previous life, Jia Chen had read the four books "The Rules of Disciples", "The Four Lessons of Life", "The Night Talk of the Fire" and "Cai Gen Tan".
It's strange that he can not only remember everything he can remember now, but also recall all the books he read in his previous life.
The reason why I chose to copy these four books was because in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were only a few books such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Classic".
The Rules of Disciples can be used as an effective supplement to elementary school reading materials.
The book is divided into five parts. The first chapter of the book "General Description" adapts Confucius' words in three words. The main text is divided into "If you enter, you will be filial, and if you leave, you will be merciful", "be cautious and trustworthy", "loving the public, and There are four parts: being close to the benevolent and “if you have the strength to do, you can learn literature”, and a specific and popular explanation is carried out.
It mainly lists the etiquette norms that should be required for children at home, going out, treating people, dealing with things, dealing with people, and studying.
This book is in line with the rituals and laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it is released, it will definitely be very popular.
Of course, this book contains a lot of feudal dregs, but one time and another, the Great Zhou is still in a feudal society, and this book caters to the mainstream values of the Great Zhou.
Jia Chen deleted and modified some of the pedantic and paranoid erroneous ideas in the book, but did not add too radical ideological content.
If you criticize the feudal ideas of the Great Zhou with sharp writing style, it will not only fail to make the book popular, but will also cause death.
After that, if the dynasty can be changed, the ideas will be reformed, and the old will be destroyed and the new will be established.
In addition to "The Rules of Disciples", the other three books have deep meanings and are suitable for both young and old, and they will definitely be popular in the world.
Thinking of this, Jia Chen immediately spread the paper and grind the ink, and began to copy the "Rules for Disciples".
This book has a total of 1,080 words. Jia Chen wrote it like a flying song. He finished it all in less than half a stick of incense.
Due to the small number of words, it is more like an article than a book.
I guess if I engraved and sold, I won’t be able to buy much money for each book.
But Jia Chen did not expect this book "The Rules of Disciples" to make money, but used it to throw stones and ask for directions.
After opening up the market and increasing his popularity, he took out three books, "The Four Lessons of Life", "The Night Talk of the Fire" and "Cai Gen Tan" in turn.
"I hope this book "The Rules of Disciples" can make me famous at a young age. If I can become famous, the price of writing books in the future will definitely be quite high.
I can not only write these four books, but also write Jin Gu Liang Wen’s martial arts classics, as well as the popular online novels in my previous lives.
In this era of lack of entertainment, if these novels can be published, they will inevitably be popular all over the country and sell well overseas.
By then, I will definitely make money every day, and even be rich enough to rival a country!"
Jia Chen's lips raised slightly. He was a human being in his two lives. He had seen too many ups and downs. He had experienced several ups and downs. He had long been calm and stable, as if he had lost his ambitions and was calm and calm.
Faced with the huge wealth that he could obtain, he was only excited for a moment, and his heart was calm, calm and at ease.
Now, there is still a difficult question in front of you. The "Rules for Disciples" have been written, but where can I raise money to engrave it? How can I sell it?
At present, Jia Chen is poor and has no money to print books or sells books.
As his thoughts turned, he suddenly had a plan in his mind and came up with a good idea.
The next morning, Jia Chen rushed to Jiafu School with his writing bag on his back.
Before Jia Chen could greet Jia Dairu, Jia Dairu smiled amiably:
"I've used breakfast after saying that to my grandfather."
Jia Dairu's smile became even stronger and he exhorted:
"That's good. Now you are young and strong-mouthed, so you must eat well."
"Thank you for your concern!" Jia Chen looked at his smiling face that was wrinkled into walnuts, with a faint toothache and a twitching corner of his mouth.
Seeing this unprecedented scene, the students were stunned and as if they were dreaming.
You know, Jia Dairu used to be a strict teacher, and never took the initiative to say hello to any student.
Did you take the wrong medicine today? Why did you suddenly feel so passionate with Jia Chen?
Many students suspect that Jia Dairu is so confused or mentally stimulating that he is so abnormal.
After the students all sat down, Jia Dairu read the script and read the "Analects of Confucius".
When his eyes fell on Jia Chen, his stern face smiled again:
"Chen'er, although you have memorized all the Analects of Confucius, do you know the meaning of each passage?"
Jia Chen replied in a humble and arrogant manner:
"The sage's subtle words are concise and concise. Every sentence is profound and obscure and difficult to understand. I can only see one corner of it and understand the basics."
When I heard this, some of the students sneered, some sneered, and joked that Jia Chen had a lot of nonsense. In fact, it meant that he did not understand the words of a saint and could only memorize it by rote.
However, just when they felt contempt and gloating, they suddenly changed their minds:
"Although the saint's words are unpredictable, I have already seen some of the mystery. Please give the questions and test the school at will."
As soon as these words were said, the students were stunned and looked at Jia Chen with doubts and surprise.
Jia Baoyu curled his lips. He had always hated the imperial examination and official career, so he naturally did not bother to listen to these saints' articles.
In contrast to him, Jia Jun and Jia Lan wanted to take the scientific examination. Yesterday, Jia Chen proved that he could memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, which shocked them.
Unexpectedly, today Jia Chen claimed that he had comprehended the meaning of the saint's words, which made Jia Jun and Jia Lan both startled and suspicious, unbelievable and unwilling to believe it.
Jia Dairu was also a little skeptical, but he also hoped that what Jia Chen said was true, so he asked with anticipation:
"The courage is commendable, then I will test you.
Confucius said: "A gentleman does not seek full food, does not seek peace when living, and is quick to do things and cautious in words, and he has the right way and is correct, which can be said to be a fond of learning.
