71. Secretary Supervisor Wei Heizi (Part 2)
"Mr. Wei Zheng, what's the point of doing when you come here?" Jing Wen asked.
Wei Zheng patted his head and immediately said, "Looking at my memory, I almost forgot what I came here for. I want to see the four-part method of your classics, history, and numerology. This is very similar to one of my inspirations! I also had this idea, but you actually came up with it, so I came to see who is the same as mine?"
Jing Wen immediately flattered and said, "Sir, I am just a genius."
Jing Wen had no idea that the method of dividing the classics, history, and collections of classics was actually invented by Wei Zheng. Jing Wen actually showed off in front of Wei Zheng with Wei Zheng's things. As a result, Wei Zheng immediately found that the inspiration in his mind was brought out, and he had the idea of meeting a soulmate in his heart. After inquiring, he actually found that Jing Wen was a chef and actually took the lead by studying abroad. This made Wei Zheng a little unhappy. So Wei Zheng had that bad face, but was stunned by Jing Wen's flattery, and now he only had a good impression of Jing Wen.
"Well, boy Jing Wen, how did you think of this kind of classification method of classics, history, and sub-collections?" Wei Zheng asked.
Jing Wen immediately said: "I have loved reading since I was a child. Although my adoptive father's family is relatively dull, I seized every opportunity to study, so that I could learn a lot. And I have read a lot of books, and I have thought of classifying these books. As a result, after years of thinking, I have achieved the results now."
"Oh? Have you read a lot of books? How many books are there?" Wei Zheng asked.
Jing Wen replied: "No less than tens of thousands of books!"
"Oh! It's amazing! I didn't expect that you, a chef, can read a lot of books. It's amazing!" Wei Zheng sighed.
Don’t think it’s easy to read tens of thousands of books in this era. When Jing Wen did not invent the paper of sugar cane bagasse, the price of books was very expensive and most people looked down upon it! Books can be said to be one of the very important wealth of a family, so everyone attaches great importance to it.
Jing Wen claimed that he had read tens of thousands of books, so this could be called a great writer in ancient times. Not to mention how much he could understand, just reading tens of thousands of books was an amazing achievement.
"If even various YY novels are counted, I do have tens of thousands of them!" Jing Wen thought to himself.
Of course, Wei Zheng didn't know what YY novels were, but he was still surprised that Jing Wen, a chef, could have read tens of thousands of books. This was awesome. This gave Wei Zheng an idea.
"Boy Jingwen, are you interested in coming to our secretary to do things?" Wei Zheng asked.
Jing Wen's heart was moved, and he was indeed moved. Although Jing Wen is a ninth-rank "food doctor", he is strictly speaking, only a eunuch of Li Shimin and is still not separated from the category of a chef. However, if he works in the secretary's prison, his status will be very different. Although eunuchs are close to the emperor, their status is the lowest. Generally speaking, few people are willing to be eunuchs, and their reputations are not good. Although Jing Wen is not that kind of eunuch, he doesn't want to be eunuchs!
Now Wei Zheng gave himself a chance to mobilize himself to work in the secretary supervisor, which made Jing Wen very moved. The secretary supervisor is a national library. Although his status is not as good as the Sixth Ministry, he is also a member of the Nine Ministers. Moreover, Wei Zheng is destined to be the prime minister in the future, Jing Wen is clear about this. If you work with a future prime minister, your future will be limitless! It is better than being a eunuch now, you are all serving people!
Jing Wen thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wei, I think my current life is pretty good. I don't want to go to the secretary to join those books."
"Why don't you want to go? Many people hope to work in the secretary's supervisor. Are you reluctant to leave this position of ninth-grade food medical officer? If you establish a secretary's supervisor, I can give you a ninth-grade, and it won't be much different." Wei Zheng said.
Cheng Lin next to him also envied Jing Wen after hearing what Wei Zheng said. The only one in the world who could get Wei Zheng to invite him on his own initiative was Jing Wen. Just now, Jing Wen flattered in front of Wei Zheng, which actually made Wei Zheng feel comfortable. Now Wei Zheng is of course rewarding him. Many literati want to go to the secretary supervisor to see the books in the largest library in the world. Why do Jing Wen’s publishing house have so many students willing to work and even pay back? This is because they think you want to study. If you are qualified to work in the secretary supervisor, then all the books from all dynasties can be read by you. This is more attractive than Jing Wen’s publishing house! But Jing Wen actually refused?
"I like moving but not quiet. If I were to face those books that could not speak all day long, I would probably not be able to stand it!" Jing Wen said.
"Your personality is indeed not suitable to enter the secretary's supervisor, so I won't force you!" Wei Zheng said.
Jing Wen breathed a sigh of relief because he was glad that he was not selected as a secretary supervisor by Wei Zheng. Jing Wen's family knew his own affairs, and he knew how he read more than 10,000 books, so he didn't dare to go to the secretary supervisor to show off his skills! Once he went to the secretary supervisor, wouldn't his true level be exposed? At that time, once his level is exposed, Wei Zheng might hate himself to death.
Instead of being hated to death by others, it is better to keep a good impression now and let Wei Zheng not make things difficult for him in the future. Because Jing Wen will still implement the means of flattering and getting to the top. If Wei Zheng will disgust him when he flatters and getting to the top, then Jing Wen will probably vomit blood. Jing Wen hopes that Wei Zheng can be better now and let Wei Zheng, the number one "poisonous tongue" in the Tang Dynasty, let him go, then that's fine.
"But if you can think of this four-part method of classics, history, and collections, it is also a contribution to our Secretary-General. Since this is the case, we cannot forget that you helped our Secretary-General. I will hang a painting in the Secretary-General to show that you have produced this four-part method of classics, history, and collections, and it is considered to let the officials in the Secretary-General remember your achievements." Wei Zheng said.
Jing Wen smiled when he heard Wei Zheng say this. He knew that he might finally have something that can be passed down to future generations, and maybe he can go to elementary school textbooks. So far, Jing Wen’s biggest ideal is to go to elementary school textbooks. This ideal is simple and great. Because being able to go to elementary school textbooks, it already shows that you have a significant influence on Chinese history.
