Li Xie originally thought that in this era, the national civil servants would be very good, after all, this era is about learning literature and martial arts to sell to the emperor's family.

But it wasn't until he went to Shuge to report that he realized that his job was not simple at all.

Where is it not simple?

First of all, Hanlin Academy, as a national-level academy, has countless books in it, and after Li Xie arrived at the library, he estimated it.

Rows of bookshelves are densely stacked in the nearly 2,000-square-meter book cabinet, and each shelf is full of books.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this world for hundreds of years, almost all books with a record can be found here.

There were so many books, and there were only four people who managed them, including him. With so few people managing such a huge number of books, how can the job be done?

The second difficulty lies in the person who manages the book. There are already very few people to manage an entire library with four people, however, what Li Xie wants to scold his mother is that among these four people, he is the only young man.

What does that mean? In other words, in the future, all the dirty work such as carrying books and cleaning will have to be done by himself.

Fortunately, the books of this era, although precious, are not so good in terms of maintenance awareness.

Under normal circumstances, books are only posted during the month of July. In addition, unless the emperor needs to look for books when he is inspecting, this library is still very quiet, and he only needs to clean the floor every day and brush off some of the dust that falls on the books.

The three old men in the book pavilion, Chen Lao Chen Pingqing is the oldest, with white hair and wrinkles on his face, and it is estimated that he is more than seventy, but his spirit is still good.

It is estimated that he is good at elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is full of scholarly atmosphere, which completely satisfies all Li Xie's fantasies about the literati in ancient times.

Every day when there is nothing to do, he will pull Hu Lao's hand to talk about a game, and he always laughs when he has a clever move, although he is unrestrained but not elegant.

Hu Lao, Hu Guoshi is a little younger, but at least 60 years old, this old man is more interesting, and everything is clear.

Li Xie felt that if this old man didn't take care of the book, he would definitely be an accountant. Everything is done with numbers, although the mathematical attainments are limited by the times, and they are at the level of high school.

The last thing I want to talk about is Liu Lao Liu Zuxiang, this person and Li Xie are the most chatty, and he is very sleek.

Although he is full of etiquette and morality, he has a super receptive ability, and Li Xie often has a lot of outrageous words, from which he can always find out the characteristics that are in line with the times.

And this person is well-informed, can talk about everything from all over the world, and often has his own unique opinions.

If he had a label, Li Xie felt that he was a politician. It was a slippery hand that was talking and trying to catch the pigtail in his words, which was more difficult than climbing to the sky.

When Hu Lao and Chen Lao were talking, Li Xie and Liu Lao were watching most of the time. Although Li Xie had played for a while in his previous life, he could only say that he knew the rules, and it was impossible to say how he could play.

And Liu Lao didn't know if it was really not good or what, anyway, he had been here for so many days, and he had never seen him start. But he is very interested in watching chess, and whenever Chen Lao and Hu Lao talk with each other, he will definitely be there and never be absent.

Liu Zuxiang is quite gentlemanly when watching chess, or holding a book in his hand when he reads, reading books and watching chess for a while, or quietly drinking tea, in short, never saying much.

Li Xie does not have such a gentlemanly style, when he watches chess, he always sees faint hands. will always complain, and the two old men don't care at all about Li Xie's twittering.

At most, after being annoyed, he said: "Xiao Xie, the books in the library are going to be cleaned!" Go quickly, don't delay your business. "Anyway, I never saw the two of them annoyed.

Li Xie is still very conscious of taking the salary of a national civil servant, and every time these two old men say this, Li Xie will definitely obediently carry it out.

The library of Hanlin Academy is located not far from Li Xie's residence, and it is not necessary to walk to work for ten minutes, which can be described as extremely convenient.

The only inconvenience is probably the matter of eating, and the civil servants of the following era did not have a canteen.

I go to work at nine o'clock every day, and I don't have to rest at noon, and it's impossible to come out to buy food or anything, so if you want to fill a meal at noon, you have to bring your own lunch box.

If you don't bring some food with you, then you can only endure it and leave work until about 3 to 4 p.m.

I heard that the library is quite good, with its own small stove, you can make your own tea and drink, and some pastries will be served every day.

Those masters in the Hanlin Academy didn't even serve tea, and if they wanted to drink tea or something, they could only prepare and bring it from their own homes.

It's just that the tea art of this era should still be before the Tang Dynasty, and there is no such thing as roasted tea at all.

Tea is directly made into tea cakes, when you want to drink it, mix some ginger, onions, garlic and the like, plus some salt, in short, all the miscellaneous things are added to it, and boil it like a pot of Chinese medicine.

That taste, Li Xie drank it once, and he didn't dare to touch it again. Fortunately, Li Xie himself has no habit of drinking tea, so his life is quite good.

After breakfast that day, Li Xie carried his big lunch box as usual and plunged into the sea of books.

After coming in, I found that today's atmosphere was a bit unusual, although Hu Lao and Chen Lao were still playing chess, the topic of discussion seemed to be extremely heavy, sighing.

After Hu Guoshi and Hu Lao saw Li Xie, they looked over and saw the big box he was carrying, and he was a little indignant:

"It's just that this kid's life is okay, every day there are big fish and big meat, and it never stops."

As soon as Li Xie heard Hu Guoshi's tone of speech, he immediately felt strange, did he offend him? It's like this every day, and I've never seen him say anything before.

"Why is Hu Lao so cynical when I don't see him this day!"

"Little Xie, now that the famine is getting worse and worse, the displaced people have come to the foot of the imperial city. National poem: This is to see that your heart is not happy with big fish and meat every day. Liu Zuxiang explained, which can be regarded as a round scene.

"Old Hu, don't you know kid, am I corrupt? I'm really hungry! The kid is growing his body, how can he not eat more?

Besides, the kid eats this is also the income from hunting tigers, you have the leisure to care about what the kid eats, it is better to take care of those who benefit from corruption, as long as you casually catch one or two corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is enough for the homeless people outside to eat for ten days and half a month. ”

Although Li Xie will not be angry because of this, he is definitely not a person who is obedient. This opening will go to pick up the old man's scars.
