Wu Mingjin ignored it. After a while, the servant brought two porcelain cups and presented them. Wang Ci refused inconveniently and took them. He only felt that it was cold and slightly wet under the tentacles. When he opened the lid, he saw that the tea was slightly moist.
Green, with many pearl-like fine bubbles emerging from the bottom of the cup in strings.
A few pieces of broken ice were floating in the tea cup. They collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
"Here, let's drink to cool down first!" Wu Mingjin said and took a sip first, looking very satisfied.
Wang Ci always adhered to the rules of health care and was always reluctant to thank frozen things. However, he did not dare to refuse the gift given by his elders. He took a small sip.
At first glance, the taste is sweet and sour, and the aftertaste also has the refreshing flavor of mint, but it has a tingling feeling, as if many things are exploding in the mouth. The feeling is very strange.
After swallowing it, my whole body felt cool and comfortable, and I couldn't help but take a second sip.
"This kvass should be drank in one go. It will lose its flavor once it runs out." Wu Mingjin is like a spokesperson for the fashionable life of Lingao's upper class.
The weather was really hot, so Wang Ci finished the drink quickly. Suddenly he felt that there was gas in his stomach and was about to rise. He quickly covered his face with his sleeves and burped a few times. His body suddenly felt much cooler and more comfortable. It was indeed a relief from the heat.
A good thing to quench your thirst! It’s probably from Australia again, Wang Ci thought.
Wang Ci calmed down and reported on Xiong Buyou's visit today, and mentioned that the Australians were preparing to repair the county school and Moli Xuan.
"My official believes that this matter is of great importance, and I would like to ask for instructions from the Ming government."
Wu Mingjin originally had a grudge against Wang Ci's decision to hand over the school land to the "Tiandihui" as a tenant, because he heard that this teacher was always outside complaining about poverty and asking for donations, always saying that the county did not have money or rice to give him, etc. -
―Although this is true, it is too disrespectful of the leader’s face. Besides, the county really has no money.
Wu Mingjin snorted; "What can I do? Since the school fields are in their hands, do they have the right intention to build the Confucian Temple County School?" As he said this, he took out a cigarette from a turned wooden cigarette case.
Come. The waiter next to him quickly brought some paper media and lit it for him.
Wang Ci was greatly embarrassed. His understanding as an official was not high. He didn't expect that what he said when he persuaded for donations in the past had offended the leaders. He thought the county magistrate was blaming him for arrogantly making his own decisions and giving the school land to Tiandi Hui, so he stood up quickly.
Said: "I always get confused when I am a subordinate..."
"Now the county doesn't have the money. Since they want to repair it, let them repair it." Wu Mingjin has completely ignored what the thieves did. Anyway, no matter what, they will do whatever they want to do.
No matter how hard you try, it's just a mantis trying to block the car.
Wang Ci didn't get any ideas from Wu Mingjin, but he saw all the "Australian enjoyment" of Magistrate Wu recently. He wanted to go to Master Wang, but the footman said that Master Wang was taking a nap and had no visitors. He had to return to the county school in despair.
.
As soon as I entered Lingxing Gate, I saw the doorman in the concierge busy at the yellow clay stove outside the house, seeming to be cooking something. I saw him tearing up a book in his hand, stuffing the pages page by page into the furnace to light the fire.
.Suddenly, a half-burnt piece of paper flew to Wang Ci's chest. He grabbed it and was about to throw it out, when his eyes suddenly widened.
This is a page of the Analects of Confucius!
I only cared about burning the Kun thief's books, but I didn't ask the disciples to burn the Analects. Although Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics are not rare, they are not available in Lingao. You have to go to Fucheng to buy them! Use them as pawns.
Firewood——
Wang Ci almost lost his breath and fainted. He was about to rush over and yell loudly when he suddenly froze again.
This Analects of Confucius is arranged horizontally!
Books are lined up horizontally. Apart from this group of thieves, there is absolutely no other family in the Ming Dynasty!
It turned out that the fifty volumes of books sent by the thief were not the strange "Literacy Textbooks", but "serious books" such as the Four Books and the Five Classics! Thinking of this, he yelled with all his strength:
"stop!"
Wang Ci was sitting in the hall, with a rattan box at his feet. Inside were the books that Yu Sheng had snatched from Zhu Rong's mouth. Menzi had just boiled water to start a fire, and had already burned several books. Wang Ci was forced to burn them first.
Later, Shu Shu rushed over like crazy to stop him from burning. The disciples were very confused and could only explain it as the weather was too hot and Mr. Wang was probably suffering from phlegm.
Wang Ci didn't care what his disciples were thinking, so he quickly picked up the books one by one.
A box of books, mostly "Thirteen Classics", which is the thirteen classics of Confucianism, including "Shangshu", "Zhouli", "The Analects", "Mencius", "Erya", etc. This is the past
The basis of the imperial examination. A person who could 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 the disciples. In addition to opening the page to the right and having the fonts arranged horizontally, this set of Thirteen Classics does not have a single vulgar Chinese character in the whole book, and the printing is extremely poor.
Excellent. There is no trace of the lines that separate lines of words in ordinary books, but the words are neatly arranged up, down, left, and right. This effect of black letters and white paper on a pure white background is the best that Wang Ci has ever seen in the past.
It's not in the Song version of the book. I don't know how the Australians did it.
Wang Ci felt that the only thing wrong was that they added sentence readings. Naturally, this would save a lot of time in reading. But he was really worried about the Australians' sentence readings. Who knew whether these overseas barbarians could understand the saints?
What about the semantics of ?
I picked a book at random, looked at it, and found that there were no errors in reading the sentences. Wang Cina wondered: Aren't Australians so vulgar?
The more I thought about it, the more puzzled I became, and I looked at other books inside. There was also a set of commentaries on the Thirteen Classics. In fact, this was Zhou Dongtian's pirated version of the Zhonghua Book Company's "Qing Commentary Series on the Thirteen Classics". Since ancient times,
There were many people who wrote commentaries on the Thirteen Classics. The commentaries on the Thirteen Classics in the Qing Dynasty reached a new peak, especially in the interpretation of the text of the scriptures and the research on the system of names and objects. When Zhou Dongtian chose to pirate
I have also considered: first, it must have high academic achievements, and second, it cannot be the work of the previous generation-this will not show the ability to travel through the group, so the research results of the Qing Dynasty will bear the brunt of being misappropriated.
He had naturally read the commentaries on the Thirteen Classics, but the work in front of him was naturally the first time he had seen it. Naturally, he thought that the commentaries were made by Australians. After reading a few pages, he couldn't help but be impressed - the level of this commentary.
The level was by no means inferior to the previous commentators he had read since the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. Wang Ci couldn't help but become confused.
If we say that Australians are a bunch of vulgar and ignorant people, their level of classical studies is obviously not low. If they are said to be very knowledgeable, they also use vulgar Chinese characters indiscriminately and their writing style is vulgar.
"What a bunch of weirdos." Wang Ci felt more and more confused. Could it be that the real great scholars stayed in Australia and did not come out? But with such great scholars, how could they tolerate such nonsense of this group of people? I don't know what kind of people are doing this in Australia.
King of men.
After flipping through it, he was surprised again - he saw the "Big Dictionary". The so-called Big Dictionary was actually the "Kangxi Dictionary" compiled by Zhonghua Book Company. Naturally, the name of Kangxi no longer existed.
The "Kangxi Dictionary" is based on two calligraphy books of the Ming Dynasty, "Zi Hui" and "Zheng Zi Tong", with additions and "corrections". However, at this time, "Zheng Zi Tong" had not yet been written - Chongzhen
It was not officially published until the end of the year. The "Kangxi Dictionary" pirated by the time-travelers was not only a collated version of the Daoguang period, but also added modern collation results. Wang Ci was shocked when he took out such a calligraphy book that was a collection of ancient and modern works.
.After reading a few pages, I feel more and more that Australians are unfathomable.
These books were not only well collated, but also printed so beautifully that he couldn't put them down. It is a habit for scholars to love books. When Wang Ci came to take office, even though he was thousands of miles away, he asked his personal companion to pick up a box of books. Seeing this box of books, Wang Ci
His greed arose. After all, this was a gift given to him, so it was natural for him to keep it for himself.
Thinking of this, I became much less wary of Xiong Buyou. I couldn't help but have the same thought as Wu Mingjin - since I couldn't stop him, I might as well just let them do it. After all, it was something that was beneficial to Lingao.
With this idea in mind, when Xiong Buyou came back the next day, Wang Ci's attitude became more cooperative. Wang Ci brought him a second gift - a subsidy.
In the past, when the Travel Group distributed subsidies to the county government, they unfortunately forgot about Wang Ci. First, he did not work in the county government. Furthermore, most modern people did not know that there was such a teaching in the county.
Officer. Fortunately, it is not too late to correct the situation at this time.
Wang Ci declined as usual, but as Xiong Buyou estimated, the officials of this time and space obviously did not regard this kind of income as a sin. Furthermore, considering the embarrassing situation of this edict, this money was not a crime for him.
Very useful.
The next day, the construction team of Lingao Construction Company entered Moli Xuan. This famous Song Dynasty building was just a small thatched hut in the early Ming Dynasty. It was not until 1455 that it was renovated into "Dawa Xuan" and became an academy.
The entire Moli Xuan is not large in scale, but it is not shabby: stone pillars, glazed tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, it can be seen that a lot of effort was spent on its construction.
Although it has been repaired many times in the past two hundred years, it is still very old after all. After inspection, it was found that the wooden structure was in serious decay. The walls and roof were also damaged and leaking in many places - it was in a state of decay. There were no ancient travelers among the travelers.
Fortunately, Lingao Construction Company has recruited many carpenters from this time and space from immigrants, so building the house is not a problem.
The wood, bricks, lime, etc. needed to repair Molixuan were a piece of cake for Chuanchuan Group. With sufficient materials, workers in place, and the on-site management of modern engineering construction workers, it only took less than five days.
The dismantling, replacement and renovation work of the entire Moli Xuan was completed. A week later, the main structure of Moli Xuan had been restored to its original appearance and the painting process began.
