Li's Mansion.

Li Di, who had not returned to his residence for a long time, came back from Pingshan, and the entire Li Mansion was full of joy.

Li Di called his eldest son Li Jianzhi over and asked, "Did Mianzhi study hard during this period of time when I was not in the house?"

Li Mianzhi is Li Di's youngest son.

Li Di has a son when she is old, and Li Mianzhi is smart, so she is deeply loved by Li Di.

Unfortunately, Li Mianzhi was naughty by nature. Even if he was sent to the Imperial College, he never studied hard, which gave Li Di a headache.

Li Di sighed and said, "Jianzhi, today, I learned a trick from Your Highness in Pingshan, and planned to use it on Mianzhi so that he could turn his back on his evil spirits!"

Li Jianzhi said curiously: "Dad, don't you know what the method is?"

Li Di snorted coldly: "This method is simple, that is, lock Mianzhi up, and he will be honest after ten days and half a month... You immediately ask the servants to clean up a yard and let Mianzhi live in. Apart from giving him food and drink, books, and nothing else is given. He even talks and doesn't pay attention to him... He must do this, but I went to Chen Lin to inquire."

Li Jianzhi was shocked, but nodded: "Dad, don't worry, my child will do what you told me!"

After Li Di finished giving orders, he rushed back to Pingshan.

...

In the Song Dynasty, opening a bookstore requires you to register at the government and accept supervision from the government.

It is quite difficult for ordinary businessmen to open books.

However, it took less than an hour for Pingshan Bookstore to open it.

The Wangshi sent someone to inform Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Kaifeng Prefecture Prime Minister directly sent someone to Pingshan to complete all the procedures.

Pingshan Bookstore opened, but there are no books to print.

Li Di and Wang Shu both thought that Zhao Zhen was just a joke to open a bookstore.

How could they know that Zhao Zhen’s goal was not to print books, but to control the publication of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen decided to make a book by himself and gain the reputation of Pingshan Bookstore in one go.

What book is good to make?

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? "Journey to the West"?

No, it's too long to remember!

Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.

He couldn't wait to find Li Di.

Now that the season for sowing corn is over, Li Di has time to go down.

Zhao Zhen sat down and said, "Sir, I've been idle recently, and I'm a little uncomfortable?"

Li Di nodded: "Your Highness is right."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It just so happened that I have something in my hands. The teacher will do it. I plan to write a book and hand it over to Pingshan Bookstore to print it, so as to gain the reputation of Pingshan Bookstore."

Li Di said in surprise: "Your Highness thinks about Book Li and says that this is a good thing, and I will do my best to help you."

Zhao Zheng: "So, sir, agree?"

Li Di: "There is no choice!"

Zhao Zhen: "This is my plan. I provide an outline and you can write it."

Li Di hesitated for a moment: "It's OK!"

Zhao Zhen said happily: "It's great, so let's study the details of "Jin Ping Mei"!"

Plop.

When Li Di heard this, he was excited and fell to the ground, and then asked stammeringly: "Jin Ping Mei"? But what Your Highness mentioned before, the story of Ximen Daren and a bunch of women?"

“That’s right!”

Swish!

Li Di stood up and asked, "Your Highness, what did you say just now?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I say this book is called "Jin Ping Mei"!"

Li Di shook his head: "No, let's say a few more words!"

Zhao Zhen said: "Sir, you cannot speak without trust, you have agreed just now."

Li Di's expression changed!

He wanted to trick Zhao Zhen, but he didn't know that Zhao Zhen would not be fooled.

Li Di shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I am a scholar, how can I write such a dirty book?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head quickly and explained: "Sir, I'm wrong. This book is not dirty at all. I plan to replace the protagonist with Ding Daguan Ren to make Ding Wei's reputation bad. Don't you hate Ding Wei the most? Now is a chance to take revenge!"

This is a great temptation!

But Li Di still shook his head: "No, a gentleman does what he does and does not do!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "Well, since the gentleman is unwilling, I will not force you. I plan to discuss with you the matter of cooperating with you to publish a book, and then teach you how to make fertilizer. It's better not to make this fertilizer, at most it will double the grain production."

Li Di wanted to leave, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked, "Your Highness, what is the fertilizer you are talking about?"

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary thing. After applying it to the corn, it can double the corn yield. I will definitely not be interested in this kind of rags!"

"No," Li Di said in a lost voice, "I am interested, please give me advice!"

Double the grain production?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

How could Li Di not be excited!

Zhao Zhen said: "That's the matter with "Jin Ping Mei"?"

Li Di gritted his teeth: "I just wrote it, but can you not let people know that it was written by me?"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, "This is not a difficult task, just use the pseudonym at that time."

Li Dihou said anxiously: "Your Highness, tell me what happened to this fertilizer!"

Zhao Zhen took out the book "Guidelines for Primary Manufacturing of Nitrogen Fertilizer, Phosphorus Fertilizer, and Potassium Fertilizer" and gave it to Li Di, saying, "Sir, you can study it first. I will go back and write the outline of "Jin Ping Mei". You can start writing tomorrow!"

Li Di: "…"

He felt like he was on a pirate ship!

...

Immediately, Zhao Zhen returned to the backyard and began to write the outline of "Jin Ping Mei".

In his previous life, Zhao Zhen had read the book "Jin Ping Mei" many times and watched the movie several times, so it was not difficult to write the outline at all.

What is really difficult is the details, and the details are the most moving.

And this happens to be Li Di’s strengths!

Li Di is worthy of being a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty. His writing style is simply nothing, the key is that he is good at depicting some subtleties.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to let Li Di write this book.

Zhao Zhen stayed up all night and finally wrote the outline.

Starting the next day, Li Di brought people to study fertilizer manufacturing during the day, and at night he returned to Pingshan Villa to write "Jin Ping Mei".

The protagonist became Ding Daguanren, and the names of the other characters were also changed by Zhao Zhen based on the interpersonal relationships around Ding Wei.

When it is late at night, the conversation between Zhao Zhen and Li Di will be heard intermittently in the study room of Pingshan Villa.

"Your Highness, I think this place should be written more lingeringly, and there should be something to entertain. If a man and a woman are just carrying a gun and getting on the horse, it will be too abrupt!"

"Well, sir, it's reasonable, then you can do it freely... Oh, sir, didn't you just say that you are a gentleman? Why are you so skilled in this matter?"

"Ahem, it's all for the purpose of attacking Ding Wei!"

"Yes, to attack Ding Wei!"

Zhao Zhen was as usual.

But every night after Li Di finished writing, he couldn't wait to go back to Bianjing City.

A few days later, the old man looked pale and his legs were trembling when he walked, as if his body had been hollowed out.
