68. Looking for Books (2)
Uncle Tong found his father-in-law Yan Mao, asked the Yan family if they had any books, and told his father-in-law what Zhang Xuan planned to do.
Yan Mao listened and said: "This starting point is good, but the Yan family has always paid attention to self-cultivation with martial arts, and there is no collection of books on teaching, I thought about it carefully, it seems that I have never heard of anyone in the town who has books, books are mainly in the hands of the family, and ordinary people can't touch them, even if anyone really has a hand-copied or burned by themselves, it must be hidden by themselves, and they won't take it out." β
"Our Yan family has been traveling north and south for so many years, do we really not even have a book at home?" The Yan family is also a bit old, even if they have been cultivating themselves with martial arts, but they don't even have a collection of books at home, which is a bit unreasonable.
"Originally, there were, no matter how we say that our Yan family is also a little old, and there are some books before, such as some manuscripts of the Analects, some manuscripts of Mencius, and some manuscripts of other books, which were accumulated in the study at that time, although no one went to see it, but it was also a kind of faΓ§ade, and then the family suffered a fire, and the study was also burned, and many books were burned in that fire, and after they were burned, they were not collected." The head of the Yan Mao family recalled. "But I can send someone to ask the people in the town if anyone has a book at home, and they can borrow it or buy it directly, but if it's possible, I'd like to make a request, I don't know if I can."
"What are the requirements? As long as it's not very rare, I can say it here, just wrap it around me. Uncle Tong patted his chest and said.
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult, it's that I think this method of collecting books and teaching is good, we martial arts people can't know a word when we go out, and now many people are really, in addition to their own names can be written, they don't know any other words, many of our children have already suffered the loss of no culture, so ah, I think, when you teach, can you bring other people with you, as for how much they can learn by themselves, it's up to them." That's all I have to ask, but I have to find a book. β
Uncle Tong didn't directly respond to his father-in-law, after all, there is no book now, and what he says is just at the level of saying and cannot be put into action.
"However, you and your senior brother have been out and about for so long, you should have a way to get the book, right?" The head of the Yan Mao family looked at Uncle Tong and said.
"You can get it, but when we go back and forth, this Zhao Ding may not be there, after all, people still have to go to Yingchuan Academy to study." We can't keep him forever! β
"If you get it, you can't harm other people's future, otherwise you will be guilty. I'll have to send someone to collect it. If there is, then it would be the best, if not, or you can see if there are any readers in the town, if there are no books, there are no books, just let the readers teach him what he has learned. β
Uncle Tong was stunned by Yan Mao's proposal, and gave a thumbs up to Yan Mao's family master, "Jiang is still old and spicy." β
"Ginger is still old and spicy, what do you mean? Doesn't it feel like a good word to say it in your mouth? β
This sentence is said by Zhang Xuan, that is, the older the ginger, the spicier it will be, and it is also said that older people, because of their own life experience, when looking at problems, they can always think of more ways than younger people. As for what ginger is, I don't know, and I haven't eaten it. If you are interested, you can ask Xiao Xuanzi what this ginger is. The head of the Yan Mao family waved his hand.
Zhang Xuan sneezed at this time and said to himself, "It seems that someone is thinking about me, but yes, I am really good here, and it is reasonable to be missed." I don't know if Uncle Tong has found the book. It seems that in the future, if there are conditions, it is necessary to implement the two inventions of papermaking and printing, promote the education of this era, benefit the country and the people, and make a contribution to the future. As for whether this will harm the interests of the family, this is not something that Zhang Xuan has to consider for the time being.
Just when Zhang Xuan was "thinking nonsense", Zhao Ding said goodbye to Zhao Yun and walked out of Zhao Yun's room, just in time to see Zhang Xuan looking at the sky in a daze, his face still exuded stupidity, or there was a hint of obscene smile, looking at Zhang Xuan's image at this time and the image he heard at the door of Zhao Yun's room before, it seemed that he didn't match the number at all, "This person, talking about things one by one, can also quote scriptures, do things, and also have ways and means, but looking at this person, no matter how you look at it, it feels very obscene, How can you evaluate it, what a mysterious person", Zhao Ding sighed, and did not alarm this very discordant picture, and walked to his room.
