Chapter 505: Xiaowei's Study (4)

In the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, what was the concept of so-called knowledgeable?

There are three sets of data below.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty ordered people to sort out the national books, and the final data was 33,090 volumes. This is the first time in Chinese history that the national collection of books has been clearly recorded.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Liu Xiu built the capital of Luoyang, he ordered people to transport the national collection of books from Chang'an to Luoyang, and only transported more than 30,000 volumes. After more than 100 years, the Eastern Han Dynasty government successively collected and increased its collection. When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, a total of 100,000 volumes of books were pulled out from Luoyang. (However, Dong Taishi is not a cultural person in the end, and it is not far from Luoyang to Chang'an, but when these 100,000 books arrived in Chang'an, there were only more than 1,000 volumes left.) )

Cai Yong, a great calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is known as the first book collection in the world. It was the largest private collection of books of its time. How many are there? At its peak, there were more than 10,000 volumes, and in his later years, there were more than 4,000 volumes.

This was the peak of the number of state and private collections of those times.

Looks like a lot of books, doesn't it? However, the so-called "volume" only refers to bamboo slips or silk books. How big is that information capacity? How many words can be written in a bamboo slip? According to the actual bamboo slips unearthed in later generations, a bamboo slip has a maximum of 49 characters, generally 10~30 characters. A volume is about between 100 and 300 words.

Therefore, Mr. Cai Yong's maximum reading volume is only about two or three million words. Even if the classical Chinese is concise and concise, one word is three words at the top of the modern one. That's just 10 million words. And he was already the most read person of that era.

Ten million words? Hehe, which of the words that the old bookworm at the starting point has read has already been hundreds of millions?

It can be said that in modern society, as long as modern people who usually like to read, any one who travels back will completely crush the ancients in terms of knowledge reserve and reading.

And now many of the textbooks of Longshouyuan are the essence condensed by Guan Yi after reading the academic achievements of countless sages before crossing over......

That's why Guan Yicai said to his sons, the family has a family history or something, and in the current education model of Longshouyuan, he is a scumbag.

This point, not only the traversers have this consciousness, but also the elites of this era have also felt it. Therefore, the Cao family and the Sima family had the cheekiness to report to the Great Sima Mansion and implored them to recruit talents from Longshouyuan Academy.

"Eldest Prince, what does Ling Zun and His Majesty think? Why did they promise people from the Sima family and the Cao family to recruit talents in the academy? Wouldn't it be ...... to do so?"

"Hehehe, Brother Bozhi, do you mean to be an enemy?"

"Uh......."

"Hahaha, first, whether it is the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Southern Wei Dynasty or the Gui Hou State, they are now all subject countries of my Han Dynasty, and they cannot be regarded as enemies.

Second, these three companies are really in dire need of talent. If nothing else, let's just talk about this Sima family, more than four months ago, Sima Anshi went to Chang'an to be entitled, and then more than 70 Sima family relatives left the team and accepted the household in Chang'an. After that, Sima Anshi took the remaining 8,000 people to Hutu. The younger brother received the news that they are doing a good job now. Uh, old Ku, you just passed by there recently, how do you feel? ”

"Back to the eldest prince, Hugh slaughtered that place, the Sima family's talent has been in less than three months, but it has completely changed." Speaking of this, Kurshan's expression became richer: "In the past, although Xiutu County was a necessary place for business, it was just to go into the city to replenish ingredients, drink water, and rest. But now it's different. In more than three months, although there are not many new houses, most of the properties in the city that can be seen have been quickly transformed into Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Bo Opera Building and various hotels.

Ladies and gentlemen, you think. Entering the city of Hutu City, the eunuchs who used to serve the puppet emperor used to solicit guests with that kind of peculiar voice, and all kinds of auspicious flattery said that you are sorry for yourself if you don't go in and consume. When you enter the tavern, you can eat the dishes cooked for you by the former imperial chef. When you are full of food and drink, you have to relax, or the palace maid who served the emperor and queen in the past will warm your bed. If you want to gamble a lot, the presiding dealer is likely to be the former prince!

Hi! Ladies and gentlemen of the Wei family, as the servants of Da Sima, we have been earning food on the knife for a long time, and after starting from Chang'an in the past, if we want to find such a place along the way, we must at least go to the station of Persian Shazhongsha. And now that Xiu Tu has such a trick, which passing merchant doesn't go to drop tens of thousands of dollars? Otherwise, the guys in the team are still willing to do serious things for you? ”

"Hehehe, Lao Ku, your current net worth is at least no less than one billion, and if you stomp your feet in the Western Regions, the prime ministers and kings of the four major powers will tremble, where do you still need to earn food on the knife edge?"

"Where, where, the eldest prince said with a smile. Well, we have an idiom called fox fake tiger power, and there is also an idiom called dog fighting human power. I'm just a lackey under Da Simamen. ”

"You're here again, people Dai Yi has never been humble or arrogant in front of his father, just like you. Without further ado, how much did you spend that night in Hugh Tu? ”

"Actually, it's not much, the caravan of 1,200 people under it cost less than 50,000 yuan that night."

"Well, do you think there's anything wrong with their business?"

"Yes, not only yes, but it's big. To take the simplest example, the people in charge of the various establishments they operate are often elderly people over 50 years old, and middle-aged people in their thirties and forties are rarely seen. There was not a single young man in his twenties. ”

"Well, this shows that the old people of the Sima family are the ones who change their minds the fastest and are the most accepting of reality. Those waste kids, hey~~~"

"That's not all. The eldest prince, judging from the many years of experience in the downbank, it was too cheap for more than 1,000 of us to spend more than 40,000 yuan that night. This Sima family doesn't know how to do business at all. If that Xiu Tu is handed over to me to operate, that amount alone will be at least more than 200,000 yuan! ”

"Hehehe, you're right. Si Wencao, who was under Uncle Zhongle, came with news that the Sima family had only been there for more than three months, and the assets they had brought with them had shrunk by almost half. Sima Anshi did not refuse the past merchants who asked for words...... That's right, the people of the Sima family used to be masters, and they would never do the matter of calculating money and grain, and let them do business, and they couldn't wake up if they didn't lose money to a certain extent. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? It seems that there are still a lot of things that have not been figured out that night. The eldest prince, in fact, in the eyes of his subordinates, it is not of much significance for the Sima family to recruit people from Longshouyuan Academy now. They wanted to build Hutu into a city of pleasure on the Silk Road, and that was the right idea. But the more this is the case, the more we should recruit more people from business to cooperate. The people of the Sima family provided all kinds of service resources such as maidservants, cooks, and eunuchs, and the merchants provided account offices and shopkeepers. In this way, if the cooperation is good, the subordinates have made a calculation, and the profit in a year should be no less than 10 million! ”

"Hahahaha~~ You old guy, I said why did you come to my house early in the morning. It turned out to be waiting for me here. Well, I personally don't object to this, but I still have to get my father's approval in the end. In my opinion, my father would not object to it. Maybe I'll give you some ideas. ”

"Huh?! Thank you, Princess. Please rest assured that if you can invest in the various industries of Xiu Tu, you will definitely leave enough dry shares for the eldest prince. ”

"Shhhh All your supplies in Dahan are supplied by our Fuxing Society, and my family is the largest shareholder of Fuxing Society. Did this boy send you that little dry stock? Besides, if Ben Gongzi does this, I am afraid that my father will personally behead this son! Are you trying to harm me? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. The eldest Sima has a noble character, and the eldest prince is determined. The subordinates admired it so much. I just dare to ask the eldest prince, when will the eldest Sima come back? Or, go down to Luoyang to ask for a meeting? ”

"No need. A few days ago, I received a letter from my father, saying that things were basically settled in the Kanto region. My father plans to return to Chang'an in December. ”
