Chapter 34 "Art and Literature Gathering" has my share

Looking at this innocent niece, Luo Yan knew that his future life in Lu Mansion would be quite exciting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Several people chatted for some more time, and seeing that it was getting late, and the two old men were also a little lacking in energy, Luo Yan got up and retired.

Because he still had a task to do, when he returned to his room, Luo Yan did not go to bed early. The system didn't give much time in the first place, and I didn't do anything during the day today, so I could only make up for it at night.

The ability to "comprehend" is not very obvious now, so up to now, Luo Yan's reading speed is still relatively slow. Thinking about reading a hundred books in half a year, it is actually quite difficult.

Reading until midnight, because he had to go to the secretary's province normally the next day, Luo Yan turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Since Guozixue and the secretary were not on the way, they got up the next morning, and after the master and apprentice had breakfast together, they parted at the gate of the Lu Mansion.

When I arrived at the secretary's department, I found that it was full of joy and very lively.

didn't wait for Luo Yan to ask, these people told Luo Yan the reason.

This secretary province has always been a very plain place. Aside from the usual survey work, there is basically nothing to do. But who are the people present, they are all well-read Confucian scholars. In life, it is nothing more than seeking fame and fortune. Being in the secretary province, there is no need to think about this benefit. However, the name that should be sought is still to be sought.

There are only a few ways for literati to seek fame, since they can't put pen to paper to settle the world, then write books and talk about it. Well, it's a little farther, so let's be practical, and write a book.

The reason why these people are so excited is because they have such an opportunity.

Yesterday, Luo Yan was not there, so I didn't know, Li Yuan issued an edict to let Linghu Dedi and Chen Shuda and others in the service co-write similar books.

This kind of large-scale informational book needs to compile the materials of various books, and then arrange them according to categories, character rhymes, etc., for inquiry. The most famous books of later generations are the Taiping Yulan and the Collection of Ancient and Modern Books.

This time, Ouyang Xun is the editor-in-chief, and the other participants include the prince Zhan Shi Pei Ju and others. Although there are only so many editors-in-chief and other participants, there is also the problem that these people also need deputies. Think about it, this kind of book can be regarded as a large data database, with more than a dozen people, how can it be possible to include all the content that should be included in the short period of one year that Li Yuan requested.

So at this time, these people will recruit some deputies to help. Although the family that shares the credit will not be on the list of compilers, how to say that they also have merit, at that time, whether to reward some gold and silver or change official positions, there is a basis.

That's what everybody is excited about.

Although even if these editors need deputies, who to find, and how many, these things are hard to say. However, his own secretary Cheng is also the core figure in compiling the book, so the secretary will definitely transfer people to help, after all, the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders. At this time, everyone hopes that other editors can also open their mouths and let the secretary save a few more, and that will be the best.

However, Luo Yan didn't care much about this matter, in this place, the phenomenon of seniority is quite serious. In fact, it can't be said that seniority is arranged, compiling books also requires literary background, and reading books takes a lot of time, so no one will say anything when they are older.

There is also a reason that has nothing to do with me, that such things as books do not need to be beautifully written. It requires that the editor must have a lot of reading experience and taste, as well as reasonable criticism ability. These two things happen to be what Luo Yan does not have.

After figuring out this matter, Luo Yan was naturally in a calm mood.

Sure enough, as Luo Yan expected, when they finished drinking tea and chatting with these people, and officially sat down in their places to start working, Linghu Dedi sent servants to come and call people. On his side, Mr. Zhao naturally couldn't escape, so he called him the first one. This was followed by those who were in charge of the books of several other dynasties, and most of them were elderly gentlemen. When the men were called, the servants turned and left.

Those who were called away naturally had no way to refute the rest of these people, but they still couldn't avoid a lot of lamentation.

With a correct mentality, Luo Yan still remembered his task in his heart. In addition, now that Mr. Zhao has been called away, the people left behind will naturally have a larger amount of tasks, so there is no free time to grind.

As he studied for more and more time, Luo Yan also discovered one thing that he had thought wrong. That is, the number of books prompted in the system is more than 10,000 books, not 10,000 books that I understand.

As we all know, this book and a book are different because of the different quantifiers, so their levels are also different, and some books contain several volumes.

This is also because Luo Yan was opportunistic before, and most of the books he chose were books that were small in length and did not need to be divided into volumes at all. Therefore, after the completion of the tasks of two consecutive stages, Luo Yan's thinking is still stuck in the stage where the volume is equal to the book.

And just now, Luo Yan finally made up his mind to read the "New Book" that he didn't read last time, but he didn't expect to finish reading two volumes, looking back at the prompts of the system, this whole book has not been finished yet, and the amount of tasks has actually increased by two. Carefully reviewing the list of books he has read these days, Luo Yan finally found the reason in terms of quantity. At the moment, I slapped my brain and scolded myself for how many two.

With such a discovery, Luo Yan's nervousness was also eliminated a lot. One can imagine the horror in Luo Yan's heart when he read the book to the end, and the amount of tasks increased by one after reading a big box.

However, things did not pass as plain as Luo Yan thought.

After reading an article, Luo Yan turned his neck, and was about to pour a cup of tea to rest for a while, when the servant who had been sent by Linghu Dedi to call someone just now came again.

There hasn't been much going on in the secretary province these days, and the servant has gone and returned, which naturally ignites the hope of everyone present.

It must be that there are not enough people to call over just now, so I will send people over to continue to call people.

The compilation site is located in the secretary's province, but there is a special cross-courtyard, which is the closest to the library and the safest. That's just enough time for those who have already gone to be assigned to the codifiers, but there is no specific division of labor. Thinking of this, these people present even breathed a little tightly.

Ouyang Shizhong said that this compilation of the book is a great cause to inherit the past and the future, and naturally some young handsome people are needed to increase their knowledge. Several adults thought it was true, and Lord Linghu instructed the little ones to let Luo Xiaoshu and Shen Xiaoshu go together. ā€

This Shen Xiaoshu, called Shen Jixian, is already an uncle in his thirties. However, except for Luo Yan, he can be regarded as the number one young man in the secretary province. When Luo Yan came to the secretary province, he was naturally suppressed and thrown here to suffer. But this Shen Xiaoshu is different, he is a veritable well-read book. The imperial court attracted a lot of knowledgeable Confucian scholars, but some people were not suitable for governance, so what should I do, then find some noble positions to raise. This is how Shen Jixian was sent to the secretary province.

Now the rest is boiling, this is a qualification when you are old, but I didn't expect that being young is also a qualification.

Especially Luo Yan, this kid has only been in the secretary province for less than a month, and he really stepped on the ****. Five years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, last year he ordered Hu Dedi to write a book to revise history, but there has been no movement. This is the first time Datang has officially compiled a book. A great opportunity to become famous, but I was robbed by such a hairy boy who has not been here for a month, you say that you are not angry.

used to live in peace with Luo Yan, because after all, there is nothing to fight for in a place like the Secretary Province. But it's different now. For a moment, Luo Yan felt that his body was full of murderous eyes.

But there is no way, he has been trapped, and Luo Yan can only bear it. Compared with Shangguan's optimism, the attacks of colleagues are a little weak. I am not a person who is afraid of things, in the secretary province, as long as my literary background is deep enough, the most vulnerable thing to attack is nothing more than etiquette.

During the period of compiling the book, in addition to reading every day, I happened to be close to Linghu Dedi, so I could learn more about the three rites. When the time comes, he can be regarded as a leakless body, so what is there to be afraid of. Besides, even if you are, the most you can do is a demotion and a fine. has his own teacher and Qin Wangfu as a backer, as long as there is no murder, he will turn over one day.

With confidence, he was naturally fearless, and after tidying up his clothes, Luo Yan bowed to Shen Jixian and walked out with the servants. Compared with these colleagues behind him who are constantly jealous but may not have to work together in the future, it is best to have a good relationship with Shen Jixian. Among these compilers, they also know an old Mr. Zhao, and they have only said a few words to Linghu Dedi, so Shen Jixian can be regarded as half of his own people.

However, Luo Yan was also a little excited.

Why? Because I want to see Ouyang Xun.

Luo Yan will never forget the calligraphy book he took when he practiced calligraphy in elementary school. "Jiucheng Palace Tablet", which accompanied him for six years in primary school, was written by Ouyang Xun. What Luo Yan knows now is only Ouyang Xun's calligraphy achievements.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Ouyang Xun was also not long ago, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, broke Dou Jiande, Ouyang Xun escaped from death, relying on his friendship with Li Yuan, this time he suddenly became a servant from a captive. At this time, in fact, without Li Yuan's support, Ouyang Xun would also be a rootless wanderer.

When he arrived at the Academy of Editing, Luo Yan met his idol with excitement. However, after seeing other edits, Luo Yan's enthusiasm was immediately impressed by Ouyang Xun's political wisdom, and at the same time, he was a little disappointed.

Let's take a look at who these editors are. Ouyang Xun naturally doesn't need to say much, Linghu Dedi is Li Yuan's person, Chen Shuda is a little biased towards King Qin, and then the crown prince Zhan Shi Pei Ju, and Qi Wangfu Literature Yuan Lang, these two people are definitely not so good with Li Shimin. Counting up, one of Li Yuan's three sons can be regarded as rain and dew.

I asked Luo Yan to come, I'm afraid it's because the King of Qi and the crown prince have always been very close, and when the time comes, the credit will be shared, and with Luo Yan, there will be no controversy here for the King of Qin, and the prince and these people may not look down on a pawn like Luo Yan.

Obviously, Luo Yan became the partner when it came to dividing the work.

The first two watches at 12 o'clock, the remaining two watches, you will see them when you get up tomorrow morning. Xiaodao believed in his hand speed too much, but he pitted himself and wanted to cry
