At noon, Xiyang City was very lively, bookstore street, Li Gang, dressed in civilian clothes, was looking through books in a bookstore, he had read this book back then, and he still read a bamboo book, called "Huayang National Chronicles". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Huayang Guozhi", also known as "Huayang Guoji", was written by Chang Xuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty between the fourth and tenth years of Yonghe, recording the history of the land of Bashu.

The whole book is divided into Ba Zhi, Hanzhong Zhi, Shu Zhi, Nanzhong Zhi, Gongsun Shu, Liu Ermu Zhi, Liu Xian Zhuzhi, Liu Hou Zhuzhi, etc., a total of 12 volumes, Li Gang when he was studying, he read the heavy bamboo book, and now his hand is a fluttering "thread-bound book".

Light to light, the paper of the book is good, the text on it is clear, Li Gang took a cursory look at the past, the content of the book did not find any mistakes or omissions, he can read "Huayang National Chronicles" many times, this volume of "Liu Xianzhuzhi" is also one of them.

The bookstore guy brought over a basket of books and put the first one in front of his desk: "The book that the guest officer asked for is here." ”

Li Gang picked up the book, and the three words on the cover were very conspicuous: Yue Jue Shu, and there was a line of small words below: The Sword of Foreign Biography.

The time span of the content is about the Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period, mainly the history of Wu and Yue's struggle for hegemony, and also records various customs and customs in the Wuyue region, which is the originator of local chronicles.

It contains, such as the practice of Ji Ni, Fan Li's technique, its way in Fumi Guigu, in Taishi Gong's "Historical Records" also has similar content, and there are many contents, which can be mutually corroborated with "Historical Records" and "Zuo Chuan".

He has only read a few volumes of this book, and it is still a manuscript he saw when he helped others to subsidize his family, and "The Sword of Foreign Biography" is one that he copied by himself, and he still remembers it vividly.

Now that the Huangzhou bookstore actually has a full set of "Yue Jue Shu" for sale, and the price is not as high as imagined, it is really an opportunity that cannot be missed.

Flipping over the cover, you will see the preface to the book.

The books in Huangzhou Bookstore are different from other places in that they are "printed", and their source is, of course, from manuscripts, and the quality of manuscripts is difficult to guarantee, after all, after hundreds of years of copying, their content is prone to errors and omissions.

Therefore, it is necessary to proofread the book, and declare the possible problems of the book to the reader in advance, so as not to mislead people's children, and these statements are in the preface.

School books are not anyone can do, everyone reads the basic manuscripts, most of the original copies are preserved by the Gaomen family for generations, you can't say that there is a mistake, there is a mistake, so the person who reads the school book must be recognized as a well-educated person, and the words spoken must be authoritative.

Li Gang looked at the end of the preface, but saw a line of handwriting: "School Book: Xindu Liu Zhuo."

Xindu Liu Zhuo, the word Shiyuan, one of the two Lius of the famous Shilin, a famous scholar of classics who is proficient in southern and northern studies, even if it is a high-ranking disciple of the heirloom of scripture, or a great Confucian who has been famous for a long time, few can argue with this.

Li Gang's hometown is in Hebei, and he is a scholar, and the name of Liu Zhuo in Xindu can be described as thunderous to him, with this as a proofreader, what is there to doubt about the quality of this book?

Defy? You can go and debate with Liu Shiyuan, see who can't get off the stage at that time!

But Li Gang also has doubts: Could it be that someone borrowed Liu Zhuo's name and casually published a book and said that Liu Zhuo had proofread it?

It is possible, after all, it is impossible for the person who bought the book to find Liu Zhuo and ask if the book was proofread by him.

"Shopkeeper."

"What do you command?"

"This set of "Yue Jue Shu" is published by the Seeking Society, but it seems that the precious store is not the Scholar's Society's house?"

"The guest official said very well, "Yue Jue Shu" is published by the study club, and the school book is Liu Shiyuan, the letter capital, but the Huangzhou bookstore has been united, and the independent books can be sold at a low price from each other, so the store also has "Yue Jue Shu" for sale, and the price is not much higher than that of the study club."

The guy is well-informed, and seeing that this person has questions, he ponders that the other party is most likely worried that someone will impersonate him, so he continues to introduce according to the number of roads: "The good teacher knows that he doesn't dare to say elsewhere that the books sold in various bookstores in Xiyang will never be fakes." ”

"Guest officer, please see, there are shading in each page, and then the text is printed on it, these shading, it is not impossible to imitate, but then the cost is more expensive than the original book."

Li Gang looked at the paper carefully and then nodded, it can be regarded as agreeing with the man's statement, Xindu Liu Zhuo is now settled in Huangzhou, and he is studying and teaching in the state, this matter is well known, so there is no doubt about the book.

"Shopkeeper, I bought all these books."

"Thank you for your patronage."

Huangzhou books are cheap and good, and they really live up to their reputation, and the transaction is convenient, Li Gang went out this time, and his entourage brought a "circulation coupon", although this thing is like a paper note, but it can be used as money in Xiyang City.

The face value is high, the weight can be almost ignored, and it will not break if it is folded a few times, and it is easy to shop in your pocket, and the streets are full of books, and you will spend it if you are not careful.

Li Gang has noticed that as long as the transaction quota in Xiyang City reaches a certain level, both buyers and sellers use negotiable coupons, and the scene of buying and selling with several truckloads of money and silk is not seen here.

How can a thin piece of paper have such credit?

Remembering that year, the "Yongtong Wanguo" money issued by Zhou Guo was exquisitely made and full of materials, known as 50,000 yuan, what was the result? The same cannot be true of the five-baht money issued by the Sui State.

Without much emotion, Li Gang walked out of the bookstore, and the man saw that his entourage was struggling to carry the book, so he asked if he needed help to deliver it to the mansion: "Don't worry, there is no charge for delivery in the city." ”

"No need."

Li Gang asked the entourage to go back first with the book, he didn't want people to know that he was the chief of the palace, so as not to have a "special offer" when he came over next time, since he asked Yuwen Wen to abide by the law, then he first had to sit upright.

He can't do this kind of thing if he misbehaves and asks others to behave.

"Let go, please let go!"

In front of the bookstore, a team of carriages finished loading and drove slowly, the wheels pressed on the bluestone road, making a creaking sound, Li Gang glanced at it and found that there was a cloth bag hanging on the tail of each horse.

This is called a dung bag, of course, it is used to hold horse manure, and it is also the reason why the streets of Xiyang City can be kept relatively clean.

Recalling the horse manure on the street of Chang'an City, Li Gang felt helpless, the cities all over the world are like this, most of them are dirt roads, which cannot avoid being polluted by all kinds of livestock manure, and when it rains, the mud and stench are bad everywhere.

This situation is even more common in the Hancha area because of the heavy rain, but Xiyang City is a little special, in order to prevent horse manure from polluting the road surface, the method of hanging manure bags has been adopted.

It can't be eradicated, but it's relieved a lot, and some people sweep the streets, plus the bluestone ground, it is conceivable that it will not be so muddy and difficult to walk on a rainy day.

"Lord Lang, it's not early, do you want to go back for lunch first?"

"No, find a liquor store."

Li Gang spent the morning in the bookstore unconsciously, but he did not give up his original purpose.

Yesterday, the audit found no problems, but Li Gang did not dare to listen to bias, he wanted to go around the city and listen to the opinions of the people in the city on Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, after all, Yuwenwen has ruled the state for many years, and he will know how his reputation is.

Of course, he couldn't ask when he saw people: Whether the king of Xiyang robbed the people's daughters, he could only walk the streets and listen to the street talks.

It's easy to deceive a person, it's easy to deceive a group of people, it's not impossible to deceive a group of people in a certain period of time, but it's absolutely impossible to deceive a group of people for a long time, Li Gang is worried that Yuwenwen will show him, so he has to visit all parts of Huangzhou to determine what the reputation of this King of Xiyang is.

If there is no problem, then it is good, if there is a problem, he has to fight on the basis of reason, and he cannot let the king of Xiyang continue to "fork the road".

Therefore, if you want to go to a place with a lot of people, and the people in the south have good tea, then the tea shop or wine shop will inevitably go, and when the guests are talking nonsense, they will reveal a lot of useful news.

As a result, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Li Gang passed by the bookstore street and almost couldn't get out.

He had heard of the name of the Huangzhou bookstore, and the books "published" in Huangzhou were different from the "volumes" since ancient times, and they were a "book", called a wire-bound book, which Li Gang had seen when he was in Chang'an, and the "printing" quality was good.

There are also many types, and it is said that in the Huangzhou bookstore, in addition to the kind of books that have been lost in ancient times, the rest of the books that can think of the title of the book, can be found in the Huangzhou bookstore "printed" line bound copies.

Just now, he has already bought several sets of books such as "Huayang National Chronicles" and "Yue Jue Shu", but in order to avoid missing the right thing, he hastily checked out, anyway, there will be time in the future, and he can carefully select the books at that time.

Just a few steps away, he bumped into several people, one of whom was Yu Wenwen in civilian clothes.

"Mr. Li, is it so coincidental?"

Yu Wenwen was surprised, today Li Gang came out to go shopping to find his flaws, so he also came out for a walk, first, to have something to do, and secondly, to see what this person could find.

"The king, the officials are polite."

Li Gang said in a low voice, making a gesture, just like two old friends who met and greeted each other on the street, he knew the proportions and did not expose Yu Wenwen's identity in public.

After a few words of greeting, Yu Wenwen was about to get out: "Ah, the widow still has something to do, Mr. Li is busy first." ”

"The king, there is something unclear about the lower officials."

The corners of Yu Wenwen's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, could it be that you have found my flaw again? I'm shopping in casual clothes right now! The imperial court didn't stipulate that the vassal king had to put up a guard of honor when he went shopping!

Although he couldn't stop slandering, he was silent on his face, and asked with a slight smile: "I don't know if Mr. has any questions?" ”

"Wang, it is rumored that the school club is an industry in the house?"

"The palace is one of the owners, but it just happens to be the biggest one."

"I see, the lower official understands, and the lower official resigns."

Seeing that Li Gang asked inexplicably but there was no follow-up, Yu Wenwen felt that there must be something strange in it, snapped his fingers, and signaled left and right to approach: "You two, follow!" ”

Tail row... Stalking is a necessary skill for the guards in the house, Yuwenwen arranged for someone to follow Li Gang, not because there was a ghost in his heart, but now he felt that there were no flaws in his body, so he was more and more curious about what kind of flaws Li Gang could find.

Well, I admit that letting Yang Ji and Zhang Dingfa's family live in the palace is not a consideration, so what? What other flaws can there be?! (To be continued.) )
