In just one day, Zhou Ye actually found a pretty good job for Zhou Ang.

Copy Buddhist scriptures for others.

Chen, one of the local prominent families, saw that he had four great-grandchildren in recent years, but he had no great-grandson, so he went to Baoguo Temple to burn incense and made a promise in front of the Buddha that as long as she gave her one great-grandson, she would reshape the golden body for the Buddha, eat a long vegetarian vegetarian, and lit seventy-two glass lamps for a whole year. In addition, he would also copy 10,000 copies of the Diamond Sutra to spread Buddhism widely.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or the Dharma is really vast and boundless. In short, I made a wish here. After a few months, the old lady really had a great-grandson.

Therefore, of course, the Chen family must fulfill their wishes seriously.

Zhou Ye said: "I have found out clearly that a copy of Diamond Sutra is about 5,000 words. The Chen family only needs the square font. Only those who have to take it back to their homes to copy it, and the time is arranged by themselves. For each copy, you can get 50 cents of money for the pen. Although this money is not much, it is also a lot. The key is that this is a good thing for worshiping the Buddha and accumulating merits! You think, as far as you want, isn't this the most suitable one?"

This is certainly the most suitable and good job!

The key is that the professionalism is very suitable and it is a temporary worker. There is no need to consider the bad thing that once you go to work in this era, you will label someone else's label for your whole life.

Although a copy of the scripture is as high as 5,000 words, it is not easy to copy one, but the wages of fifty cents are indeed not low. In April, when the green and yellow days are not available, the price of grain is the most expensive, and the dou of rice is only about fifty cents. Of course, miscellaneous grains are cheaper!

From another perspective, Zhou Ang’s mother, Zhou Cai, and her sister, Zhou Zihe, have been busy all day, washing clothes, hanging clothes, and sewing them and sending them back. The income is only about a dozen cents, and it has to be said that it is the peak season now! When there are fewer merchants, although they are free, they can earn less than ten cents a day!

If you copy carefully without distractions, Zhou Ang thinks that it would be a problem to get fifty texts to copy a copy of the Diamond Sutra a day.

Of course, the disadvantage is that this is a temporary worker after all.

It is a huge project to copy ten thousand copies of the Diamond Sutra, but there are probably many scholars who want to earn this money. At least a hundred people are definitely fine. If you want to gather, hundreds of people are not a problem. If you want to copy one copy every day, the work may end in just one or two months.

But for Zhou Ang, it is enough.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that according to the memories left in my mind, Zhou Ang learned that in this world, there seems to be a large-scale and systematic woodblock printing technique, mainly used to print various classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Of course, the Six Confucian classics that Zhou Ang usually reads are listed, and all Buddhist scriptures are listed.

But what is ridiculous and helpless is that Zhou Ang’s most economical way to study is to copy books by himself. The rich people make a wish to worship Buddha and give it to others, but they feel that the printed scriptures cannot show the piety of worshiping Buddha.

As for movable type printing, you can't even think about it, there is no market at all.

Therefore, hand-copying is the mainstream of cultural communication in this era.

At this time, Zhou Ang was overjoyed and naturally thanked him quickly.

Zhou Ye laughed and said, "Since you think it's good, you can go to Chen's house in Jing'anfang tomorrow and go to the second gate. It's just recommended by Xu Dianshi, Lingzhou County. With your good words, this matter is definitely not wrong!"

Zhou Ang thanked him again when he heard this. Seeing that the matter was over, Zhou Ye immediately got up and wanted to leave. Zhou Ang did not leave without hesitation and sent it to the gate before he went back.

Zhou Cai was busy drying clothes outside. As soon as Zhou Ye left, she asked, "Your elder brother is here, is there something wrong?"

Before things were stable, Zhou Ang was not ready to say anything, but just replied: "I entrusted my brother to ask me about some things. After some results, he came over and told me."

Zhou Cai nodded after hearing this and did not ask again.

After getting up early the next morning, Zhou Ang went out again after his mother and sister.

But he did not go straight to Jing'anfang.

Making money is very important, especially in his current family background. He is not afraid to start with small things and make some money to improve his family's living conditions, and at the same time find new ways. This is something he must do, but the priority level of this matter must be ranked behind the threat of the fox demon.

So he still went to Chongguang House and Guangshou House today.

In the past and next two lives, he was not a careless and rough man. Although he became more and more anxious, the more he was anxious, the more he was particularly calm and became more careful and patient when he found someone.

However, helplessly, this is not a sufficient condition to find the middle-aged man.

So, once again, he got nothing.

By noon, seeing that the sun had begun to move westward, he had no choice but to temporarily end his search for someone and turned to Jing'anfang - he had to make sure of this matter first.

The Chen family's house covers a wide area and is very easy to find.

According to the instructions of his elder brother Zhou Ye, Zhou Ang found the second door and explained his purpose to the door. The other party quickly led him in, and then walked into a flower hall.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties who looked like a private school teacher and received him.

Zhou Ang reported his intention directly, and according to his brother Zhou Ye's instructions, he said that it was recommended by Xu Zhong, a dictionary of Lingzhou County. This recommendation is very important. Without the introduction, he would not trust you at all and would not deal with you.

The man was named Chen Jing. He turned out to be a tutor in the Chen family's school. Recently, Chen had a new student and was busy working together at home and outside. He came here temporarily to be responsible for finding someone to copy the Diamond Sutra.

After asking Zhou Ang's name, teacher, and origin, he was a little surprised and asked: "Do you know Zhou An and Zhou Zitai in Lingjiang Academy?"

Zhou Ang immediately felt solemn and said seriously: "That's my uncle!"

Chen Jing laughed at first, then felt a little sad, and said, "So, Zhou Ding, Zhou Ziping, who has passed away, is your father?"

This time it was Zhou Ang's turn to be a little surprised.

He said, "It is. Sir who knows my father?"

Chen Jing sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Since it's you, there's nothing to say! But according to the rules, I still want to read your words!"

While he was speaking, he had already gotten up, took a cut paper from the desk next to him, and pointed to the book that was opened on the desk, and said, "The pen and inkstone are there, please ask the nephew to copy a page."

When Zhou Ang called out this call, he knew that there should be some connection between them.

However, he just hesitated for a moment, but did not ask much. After sitting down, he adjusted his mood, picked up his pen, and carefully copied a page of the book. After finishing writing, he blew it, picked it up, and handed it to the Mr. Chen Jing and Mr. Chen seriously.

Although he knew that the man was actually watching while he was writing.

At this time, Chen Jing took the words on this page, and did not read them. He turned around and took a printed copy of the Diamond Sutra, a small roll of good paper, three new brushes, and an ink ingot wrapped in oil paper, and said, "This is the five pieces of scripture that you need, you can take them back! Remember to be serious, there must be no errors in the scriptures, and you must not smear or delete them. The paper here is unnecessary, you can use them with confidence!"

Zhou Ang hesitated for a moment, took the thing, gave a deep bow, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shi!"

However, Chen Jing immediately said, "You must call him Shiwang!"
Chapter completed!
