Chapter 248: Just the right flattery

After reading Chu Baolai, Zhao Yan opened the hand-written monthly magazine of Sun Houshi, the Minister of Justice.

Sun Houshi is relatively normal.

Under the bibliography, the content involves many categories of content including Tian Cao, Duan, Tie, Tax, Ceremony, and Penalty, which can be said to be in every detail.

It looks dazzling, but it cannot tell the main and secondary. Not to mention the people, even scholars and scholars are unwilling to read such boring articles.

Next, Zhao Yan almost tore off the hand-written monthly magazine of Wei Yunde, the Minister of Personnel.

On the surface, Wei Yunde's content is also very rich, but he didn't even understand the basic classification, and what he said was all about was a piece of tangled grain. If you use a idiom to evaluate it, it can only be: an old sow chases a rabbit, and his spirit is commendable.

When Zhao Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the hand-written monthly magazine of the Minister of Rites Cai You and Sansi envoy Kong Moshan.

"The first three are garbage!" Zhao Yan almost swears.

format.

Aesthetic.

content.

Zhao Yan is almost impeccable.

Cai You's layout looks pleasing to the eye, and it is a sincere use of the monthly magazine as a work of art. In terms of content, Cai You first has a theme that values ​​the people as the most, and then presents different types of articles under the big theme. These articles are easy to understand and suitable for both young and old, and look comfortable.

As for Kong Moshan, it was an upgraded version of Cai You. As the Sansi Envoy, he did a job of testing details. Therefore, his hand-written monthly magazine, both in style and content, was very exquisite. He understood Zhao Yan's preferences, so Zhao Yan liked it very much.

In the end, Shangguan should be displeased.

Zhao Yan was very excited about him, and was particularly curious about what kind of monthly magazine he could compile after spending nearly two days in the tile.

Hurry!

Turn on the first page.

A piece of white paper.

Zhao Yan was a little stunned. When he opened the second page, the book appeared.

Huh?

The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth curled up slightly.

Shangguan’s bibliography is not arranged in a straight line of pure text, but adds some design lines, which look clear and layered, just like admiring the lines of a painting, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Yan was even more happy when he saw the content.

Every other page, there are illustrations that are matched with, and the illustrations are lifelike and have a very high degree of compatibility with the content.

Although these simple lines and illustrations are more complicated for woodblock printing, they can still be realized.

Publications should have pictures, which is the consciousness of modern people.

In this era, Shangguan’s unhappiness is a very innovative and innovative move.

What made Zhao Yan even more happy was that the text and illustrations were very consistent, which obviously took a lot of effort. The contents in it were very down-to-earth compared to Liu Chaotong and Cai You, and the scale was between elegant and vulgar. If Zhao Yan was asked to spend money to choose one, he would undoubtedly choose the one that Shangguan was unhappy.

In this game, Shangguan’s unhappy wins perfectly.

After seeing it, Zhao Yan said to the seven people: "I already have something in my heart, but according to my ideas, you agree on it on the surface, but you will definitely be dissatisfied in private."

"Now, you all look at other people's, and then start to comment on each other. Each person writes the person you think is the best on paper. You can't write yourself. I'll write one too. I'll see if it's the same as you?"

After saying that, Zhao Yan waved his hand and Xizi distributed seven handwritten monthly samples and began to prepare pen, ink, paper and ink.

After a while, the seven people wrote the best name in their hearts and handed it to the Dragon Case together.

At this moment, Kong Moshan, Liu Chaotong and Cai You both looked at Shangguan unhappy, while Chu Baolai, Sun Houshi, and Wei Yunde lowered their heads.

Zhao Yan smiled and looked at Xizi.

Xizi immediately understood and immediately opened the note of the seven people and started to recite it.

"Kong Moshan!"

"Shangguan is not happy!"

"Shangguan is not happy!"

"Shangguan is not happy!"

...

Except for the first one, Kong Moshan, the other six were all Shangguan unhappy. Obviously, Kong Moshan was naturally written by Shangguan Unhappy.

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face.

Shangguan was unhappy and won the victory, which was as expected.

"What do you guys say?"

Cai You curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, in terms of strength, Weichen really lost, but Shangguan Buyue is so shameless. He actually asked the painter from the Palace Calligraphy and Painting Academy to draw illustrations for him."

Shangguan, who was standing beside him, raised his chin when he heard this and retorted: "Mr. Cai, the painter is not from my family, you can use it, why don't you use it!"

"Oh, I admit defeat!" Cai You sighed and said.

Kong Moshan continued: "Mr. Shangguan is indeed more skilled, and his articles are quite down-to-earth, and he is indeed better than us."

"Sir Shangguan, now you can tell us what you have been in the tile for two days, right?" Sun Houshi, the Minister of Justice, asked curiously. If he couldn't get the answer today, he would definitely not be able to sleep at night.

Hearing this question, Zhao Yan became curious and said, "Tell me quickly!"

Shangguan was unhappy and said with a straight chest: "According to the character of Weichen, it is naturally impossible to go to seek flowers and willows. The reason why Weichen went to the lowest tile in Changdan City was not to meet the women with miserable fate, but to meet the men who lived at the bottom. Because they did not have the ability to settle down and could not even afford to marry a wife, they could only go to the lowest tile. In the past two days, I talked a lot with this type of people. Their language was simple and they didn't know much, but they knew why they were alive. Many articles in the monthly magazines were specially polished according to their tone. Most scholars' common problems were deliberately biting and choking and complicating simple words. However, for these people, the articles must be down-to-earth. As long as they can understand them, even through reading by others, the people of the Great Zhou will understand them."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded in recognition. The other party was indeed thinking more extensive and profound than theirs.

Zhao Yan asked again: "Then why does your book leave a blank page at the moment?"

Woodblock printing is relatively complicated, and under normal circumstances, blank pages are not allowed to appear.

Shangguan showed a proud look on his unhappy face and said, "Once this magazine is published, it will definitely be a national magazine. The homepage of the national magazine will naturally be written by His Holiness!"

"Haha..." Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Kong Moshan and others all rolled their eyes to Shangguan Buyue, and said in disdain: It is said that Shangguan Buyue is not afraid of flattery. I think he is the one who flatters in the court!

Sometimes, just right flattery can not only make people feel happy, but also make people think like a spring.

Zhao Yan said loudly: "Xizi, come with the pen and ink, I will write inscriptions now."
Chapter completed!
