Chapter 117: Librarian

Director Wang smiled: "Zheng Shizi is too humble, how can you be a nameless junior?" I did have some personal matters when I came to see Shizi. I'm here for the Luoyang Library. ”

Zheng Sheng was a little enlightened, but he still had questions in his heart: "Luoyang Library? Uh, isn't it just going to be built in Guozixue? ”

In the end, it was decided to build the Luoyang Library in the highest institution of learning, Guozixue. However, the backup of books is very troublesome, and whether to copy all the books to Luoyang, Zheng Wen has not yet negotiated the conditions with Guozixue.

Although it is a "sponsorship" student without monetary transactions, Zheng Wen is also painstaking. Even though he was afraid that someone in the court would make trouble with the excuse of privately collecting folk books, after deciding to build the library in Guozixue, Zheng Wen's biggest thought was to make the original collection of Guozixue his own.

As for Director Wang's worries, in fact, Zheng Wen had already told him that the Luoyang Library would be completed in the summer and autumn of next year. Students of Guozixue will have the right to borrow books for free.

Therefore, Zheng Sheng was a little puzzled. Obviously, after the library is built, it is almost the internal library of Guozixue, and Director Wang will actually come for the library?

"Yes, the sake priest has already explained the rules for borrowing books from the library in the future: three times a month for each person, one opportunity to borrow two books to read for three days, or two hours of reading time in the library. And I want to have more time to go into the library to read. ”

"Is that what the rules of the sake priesthood?" Zheng Sheng was a little surprised. According to his meaning, since this library is "gifted" to Guozi Xue, it is natural for it to be open to all students for free.

But Zheng Wen still told him that Guozi Festival Wine made the decision to limit the time each person borrowed books. There are even many penalties for lost or damaged books. Zheng Sheng thought that the adult probably cherished those books too much.

Zheng Sheng also felt that Xie Sai Jiu was too cautious. Just like in later generations, those who voluntarily go to the library to read must love to learn and cherish books. The current library is also the same, Zheng Sheng is sure that those students who talk all day and do nothing else will not go to the library a few times.

So there will be a lot of borrowing times that are wasted. And those who want to read books will definitely suffer from the fact that the time is too short. Did Director Wang anticipate that the reading time would be too short, so he came to make friends with him in person?

Zheng Sheng said with some entanglement: "Brother Wang, I don't know if you know that after the Luoyang Library is completed, it will completely belong to Guozixue. I don't have any special powers there. As a student of Guozixue, there are only three times a month. ”

Director Wang frowned and said, "That's a pity." ”

Zheng Sheng suddenly thought of something: "Actually, it's not that there is no workaround. Brother Wang may not know that in the library in Wanquan Town, Shunyang, there are several students from Qingzhu Academy named 'Administrator' all year round. They are responsible for registering the information of each person who comes to the library to read a book, such as the name of the book borrowed, the time of borrowing, etc. Of course, they are also responsible for organizing the collection, cleaning the library, and so on. After completing these tasks, they have a long free time to read books as they please. ”

"However, as far as I know, it seems that Lord Sake-sama only intends to send people to guard the door of the library, and does not set up this so-called 'administrator'." Director Wang said softly.

Zheng Sheng touched his chin and guessed, "But my brother must have told Lord Sacrificial Wine about the administrator, but Lord Samurai probably doesn't agree, right?" ”

Director Wang looked at Zheng Sheng and said sincerely: "Then Zheng Shizi is willing to ask Lord Sacrificial Wine to set up an 'administrator' for me?" ”

Zheng Sheng smiled: "Okay." ”

"Thank you Zheng Shizi."

"Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite, this is not only because of your request, the library does not have an administrator, only a few guards guard the door, it will definitely make the books in the library dust!"

Director Wang arched his hand and said, "Then I'll wait for good news." By the way, the prince hasn't made a decision yet, whether he wants to join my school or not? ”

Zheng Sheng pondered: "If the Pure Sect is just to pursue Tranquility as Brother Wang said. Of course I'm going to join your school, no, your school. ”

Why did a sense of martial arts style suddenly appear? Zheng Sheng touched his nose and thought to himself.

Wang Dao said: "Since Zheng Shizi plans to join the Pure Sect, then let me introduce our companions to Shizi." ”

Zheng Sheng smiled: "Okay, but it's too much for Brother Wang to always call me 'Zheng Shizi'. I don't have a table yet, but my father also gave me a small character of 'Kewu'. ”

"Kewu? Good word. That's what Wu calls my cousin 'Maohiro'. ”

"Okay."

Seeing that the two were talking happily, Sima Rui on the side coughed a little sourly, and Zheng Sheng and Director Wang looked at it at the same time, with the same doubts on their faces.

But Sima Rui lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Director Wang began to introduce to Zheng Sheng: Xun Jizhi, Yang Bei, Pei Xiao, Pei Li, Ji Yi, Xiahou Zhong, Shou Ping......

Zheng Sheng's serious expression gradually stiffened. He didn't expect that Director Wang would speak in such detail, everyone's name list, family lineage, where his father and other elders are currently working, and everyone's interests and hobbies.

After more than two hours, Director Wang stopped unsatisfied.

Zheng Sheng felt that he had listened to a difficult lesson, or the kind of lesson that was painful and ended up remembering nothing. In the end, Zheng Sheng was a little glad that the number of people in the Pure Sect was not large, and there were only twelve in total, including him.

Sima Rui stood up: "It's time for us to go back." ”

Zheng Sheng sent the two to the door.

Sima Rui approached him and asked, "Does Zheng Shizi want to do something for the people of Hongnong?" ”

Zheng Sheng's heart was shocked, this incident in the past two days had indeed become a lingering shadow in his heart, and he had indeed thought about what he should do.

"I've thought about it, and I will." Zheng Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "King, I decided to transport some grain to Hongnong to relieve the victims. However, my family is far away in Jingzhou, and although there is some surplus grain at home, it is inconvenient to transport. I'm afraid it's a little too late in time. ”

"So, are you going to buy grain in Luoyang?" Sima Rui frowned slightly.

Zheng Sheng nodded.

"No. Grain prices in Luoyang have skyrocketed. All grain merchants have the idea of storing grain and raising prices. You can't buy much food. ”

Zheng Sheng suddenly remembered the deal that Sima Dingyun had said, and he thought for a while: "It will take at least a month to transport grain from Jingzhou. Winter is coming, and I can only trade money for time. Be more expensive! ”

Director Wang shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't need to help them at all. The imperial court has already distributed the grain that is often closed and sent to the counties. ”

"But the food issued by the imperial court is enough to eat?" Zheng Sheng asked.

"But they can barely get by." Wang Daodao.

"Then I'd better buy food." Zheng Sheng made up his mind, and he decided to write a letter to Zheng Wen and tell him about the auction house and the purchase of grain.

The pensive Zheng Sheng didn't notice that a look of embarrassment flashed in Sima Rui's eyes on the side.
