Chapter 251 The Era of Literary Heroes(2/2)
Early in the morning, Fan Yong and his son took more than 20 maidservants and stood in front of the door to welcome guests, because in the past two days, all the private seats and private rooms in Baifan Tower were booked.
And all of them have great backgrounds, including Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Cao Ping, Gu Ji, etc.
They are all court ministers and relatives of the emperor.
In the end, they were all judges from the third division.
Because this matter also involved the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, when everyone heard that the other side was going to fight back, they definitely came to find out.
Many scholar-bureaucrats even sent people to make reservations themselves, only to receive the reply that they were sold out and could only go to restaurants to see them.
Han Qi just sat down, ignoring the beautiful scenery outside the window and the delicacies of Bailanlou, and said directly to Fan Yong: "Didn't you say there are tabloids to read? Where are the tabloids?"
At his age, how could he be in the mood to come to breakfast early in the morning just to read the newspaper?
"Mr. Han, please wait a moment."
Fan Yong quickly ordered his maid to fetch a tabloid.
Han Qi held the tabloid and asked, "Is this a tabloid?"
Fan Yong quickly replied: "Yes, you can read it after opening it."
Han Qi nodded and opened the newspaper. This definitely opened up a new world!
Fan Yong asked carefully: "What would Mr. Han want to eat?"
This is a restaurant, not a library. We can’t just read newspapers!
"ah?"
Han Qi glanced at him, then at the old servant beside him.
The old servant quickly pulled Fan Yong away and ordered some of Han Qi's favorite breakfast dishes.
Han Qi was soon fascinated, but as he looked at it, he suddenly frowned, "This style of writing is quite familiar, as if I have seen it before."
His eyes moved to the end and he said in surprise: "Sima Junshi? It turns out this was written by Sima Junshi. No wonder it looks familiar, why!"
He quickly called Fan Yong over again.
"Exceptor, how come this article was written by Sima Junshi?"
"When I return to Xianggong Han, the common people don't know." Fan Yong explained: "We only found out early this morning that the official bookstore printed two copies this time, one written by Mrs. Xu and the other by Mrs. Xu.
Written by Grand Bachelor Sima."
"Ms. Xu?"
"That's Xu Zhiqian, the daughter of the temple official."
"oh."
Han Qi nodded, "Excuse me, please bring me a copy."
Fan Yong said: "Yes."
Originally, Xu Zhiqian's article would not be published in Baifanlou, but Fan Zheng used his connections to get a few copies.
Because the protagonist of this matter is Xu Zun, Xu Zhiqian must represent Xu Zun, and this is the real response.
Han Qi is also a great writer. Normally he would look down on Xu Zhiqian's articles, but today he also wanted to take a look.
After Fan Yong left, Han Qi looked at it carefully again, nodded frequently and said: "As expected of Sima Junshi, this writing style is very sophisticated, not bad, not bad, the writing is really good."
The style of Sima Guang's articles is simple and unpretentious, but they hide very clever skills. They are many times better than those old marketing accounts, even though they are doing the same thing.
He cleverly focused on taking into account the landlords' thoughts, which meant that they all felt that this act of killing was very unfair to the landlords, so this meeting was held.
Let me tell you very tactfully that we are not targeting the landlords, but thinking about them.
If the landlord is not considered, then there is no need to discuss it.
As for Xu Zun's statement, it was just mentioned casually during the discussion. He even wrote down the original words he said at the time, indicating that they did not agree with it, including Xu Zun, who did not say anything more.
Then he began to explain his own views, cutting expenditures, hiding wealth among the people, and governing the world together. He connected these three concepts with the issue of tenants, such as cutting expenditures and hiding wealth among the people. He also pointed out that the imperial court imposed too many taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
It's not entirely the landlord's fault.
As for co-ruling the world, he directly came to flatter him.
He said that the scholar-bureaucrats all regard the world as their own responsibility. When the local area is in trouble, many scholar-bureaucrats come forward to come forward. How could it endanger the stability of the place? He also gives an example that Sima Guang reads books every day and gives examples, which is what he is best at.
This method has no impact on the scholar-bureaucrats. They are just worried that some villains will stir up trouble.
Anyway, it’s full of private goods.
And his ideas are in the same vein as Fan Zhongyan and others, and Han Qi is one of the Qingli gentlemen, so of course he also agrees.
I was fascinated by what I was watching, but as I watched, I suddenly felt that there was a lot of people outside.
Han Qi couldn't help but get up and go outside the private room. Looking around, he saw that the building was already crowded with people, either court officials or retired scholar-bureaucrats at home.
Everyone was holding tabloids, talking eloquently and arguing endlessly.
This made Han Qi's thoughts seem to go back to his youth, when he and Fu Bi and other friends had a high-spirited discussion about current affairs. How beautiful it was at that time.
The consumption of this Ailan Tower is not cheap, and there are few in the court who are richer than him. He must be sitting in the best private room and enjoying the best service, but at this moment, he feels very lonely. This tabloid cannot
One look.
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Zeng Gongliang and others sitting in the elegant seats, and he walked over in a hurry.
Of course Wang Anshi knew about this, but he would not come to a luxurious place like Baifan Building. He had no interest in food and clothing, and to be honest, he couldn't afford it. After all, he still had to pay the mortgage.
While he was there, he went to the tavern that was relatively close to the imperial city, ready to take a look, and then went to work on the way, but unexpectedly he saw Sima Guang's article.
This early in the morning affects my mood!
"As expected of Sima University, this article is really well written!"
"I really don't know why the officials want to believe in Wang Jiefu, when the ideas of the great scholar Sima are more reasonable."
Wang Anshi sat alone in the corner holding the newspaper, covering his face with the newspaper, reading Sima Guang's article, and listening to the praise of Sima Guang from the next table. It was really off-putting, and he was so angry that he couldn't even eat breakfast.
Is this article considered well written?
I really don't know what it means.
