"Did you hear that? There is a library in the city where you can view and transcribe books for free! This kind of conversation is probably the most mentioned in the entire Yunzhong County in the past two days.

For a while, regardless of whether I was literate or not, I planned to go in and have a look, but when I really got to the door, I found that there were restrictions on entry. There are only 500 people at a time, and at the same time, there is no too much noise inside, otherwise they will be kicked out by the guards.

finally queued up to get in, and found that on the bookshelf, there were only "Analects" and "The Book of Filial Piety", which Cai Yong led everyone to spend a day compiling and sorting.

"Why are there only two books?" Seeing this result, many people were somewhat depressed.

"The library has just opened, so there aren't many books that have been edited. More books are being compiled in the future, so you can wait a little longer. Liu Tao spoke in person, which solved everyone's confusion.

Then he pointed outside, opposite the library, and said, "Opposite the library, there is a stationery store, where paper, pen and ink can be purchased." If you want to copy the book, you can bring your own, you can buy it there, and the price is not deceitful. ”

As soon as Liu Tao said that, everyone remembered that there was another store opening across the road today. I didn't notice it before, but now I understand that it turned out to be a stationery store.

"Finally, if you want to copy a book, you must ensure that your hands are clean, and at the same time, do not damage the content of the book when copying, otherwise it is useless to lose money......," Liu Tao looked around at everyone, "Readers don't cherish books, and it is reasonable to chop their hands when they are copied." This official is not so cruel, the first time he has ten boards, and the second time he is disqualified from entering the library! ”

There is nothing damaged, it is all in triplicate, and the original version is found to be hidden in another place, and it is regularly checked and maintained. The other edition is stored in the library warehouse, and if the outside is damaged, a copy of the inside is made, and then it is good to take it out and put it back in again.

The main thing is to worry about the situation of deliberate damage many times, after all, maybe there will really be a family that hires some ruffians and hooligans to come in and deliberately destroy it.

When you meet this kind of person, needless to say, the top ten boards, it will definitely be fatal. There may be mistakes, but basically they would rather make mistakes than let go, who let this be the feudal era.

Needless to say, the last one was sent to Luoyang and handed over to Liu Hong. Anyway, as expected, the current Luoyang guys have not even selected the editor-in-chief.

"In order to avoid some negligent situations, so I will also explain a little, a little crease, a little bit of damage, will not affect the reading of a small drop of stains, these will not punish you." Seeing that everyone was away from the bookshelf almost immediately, Liu Tao had to say the backup plan.

As soon as he said that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and this kind of words were acceptable. Having the opportunity to read books for free, which is already a very precious thing, who is not careful about people who really desire knowledge and want to read books?

It's just hard to say that there is a sudden eventuality, so that you will be unlucky, which is a bit uneconomical!

It's okay now, at least I can feel a little more at ease reading the book, so I want to say, hurry up and take the book down and read it......

As a result, when they took down the book and opened it, they found that the book had been read in sentences, and they were immediately surprised, and at the same time a little panicked. Is it really okay to divide it like this?

"Your Majesty's original purpose in setting up the library was to invite famous scripture masters to compile these books, divide all the books into sentences, and then all the scriptures in the world will be carried out according to this standard. Perhaps in the future, the assessment of talents and the content of the assessment will come from these books. Liu Tao looked at everyone's puzzled expressions, so he came forward to explain.

That is, the unification of standards, the biggest advantage of this measure is to lay the foundation for the imperial examination. After all, the books everyone reads are all a standard, so who reads better and understands better will be highlighted.

By the way, it also gave Cai Yong a wave of publicity: "Our library, the editor-in-chief is today's well-known master of scriptures, Cai Yong Cai Bojiao master, he once served as a school book in Dongguan, and he presided over the proofreading and compilation of the Xiping Stone Scripture outside Luoyang Taixue. ”

In other words, the standardization of the version of the scriptures has actually been carried out by the imperial court. It's just that this was more of an unintentional move, and at that time it was just too much of a Confucian transcription, so it gradually became the standard version of the scriptures.

If you have to say it, this Xiping Stone Sutra is only the 'font' part of the scripture that is standard, and it has nothing to do with the content, and it does not divide the sentence reading. It's just that anyone can copy it for free, which is similar to the library model.

It is precisely because of such a thing that Cai Yong has almost become the most suitable candidate for the editor-in-chief of the library.

Hearing this, everyone was immediately relieved, so they began to read carefully. I didn't read a sentence before, and it looked really difficult, and I couldn't read it too fast, so as not to have a problem with the reading of the divided sentence, and I couldn't understand the meaning of it after reading it for a long time.

It's a lot more convenient now, you can almost see ten lines at a glance, and a lot of things that I didn't understand before seem to have become a lot smoother, and I have a lot of insights for a while.

For a while, some readers shed tears when they read it, if it was so convenient back then, why waste the years.

I want to watch it once and want to watch it a second time, I want to taste it carefully, and I taste it slowly, but I find that I want to see more than myself, and I can't take care of it one by one. So what to do? What else can I do?!

A clever cigarette ran out, and after a while, at the stationery store opposite, he bought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and even sighed a few words. After all, the paper in this store is really cheap!

According to the thickness of the Analects, the amount of paper needed is 40% less than the same amount of wooden or bamboo slips required, and the key is not to take up space!

After careful questioning, I learned that Taishou had a paper mill in Luoyang, and in order to facilitate the scholars in Yunzhong County, he sold paper almost at cost price...... And the most pitiful thing is that what the cost price is, of course, Liu Tao has the final say.

Cheap paper is of course cheaper, better ones, fairer, better quality, then not cheap. It's this kind of money that is earned, that kind of cheap, and what you want is a small profit but quick turnover.

Good stationery earns a prestige and an identity. Literature has a price, identity is priceless, do rich people still have to use the same stationery and paper as a group of poor acids?

The packaging is good, the quality is good, and the price is of course unlimited. For example, the best wolf pen, inlaid with gold, the price is ten times, and it is not sold if it is low! The cost is estimated to be less than a hundred, and the key is that it is vulgar, but those nouveau riche will eat this set!

Not long after, more than a dozen merchants came over and directly wrapped up more than a dozen pairs of thirteen artifacts, and there were still people who wanted to buy them...... Sorry, no, that's what I want! I want it, and I'll be early next time!

"So the library, make a profit from this?" Xun Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, muttered.

"Hahaha...... The lord is so much fun! Guo Jia laughed out loud, he could still play like this, "Actually, what I pay more attention to is that this shop also collects books from the outside world, and the copied books can be sold here, and the readers will have income!" ”
