Chapter Twenty-Eight: Jixian Hall Academy
"I don't dare to tell me, I just want to ask the shopkeeper to contact a few Hu merchants on my behalf, I want to ask them to bring some things back from the Western Regions." Wei Renshi said.
The shopkeeper listened to Wei Renshi's words, and immediately waved his hand and said, "This is easy to say, Wei Langjun wants something, just tell me, and I will go to Hu Shang to say." ”
"I only know that these things are available in the countries of the Western Regions and even Dashi, but I don't know exactly what they are called over there, and I can't ask the shopkeeper to convey them on my behalf." Wei Renshi said: "It's best to find a few Hu businessmen who know Chinese and let me talk to them in person." ”
"It's fine." The shopkeeper nodded, and said, "I wonder when Wei Langjun plans to meet with Hu Shang?" ”
"I don't know when the shopkeeper can find Hu Shang, I can do it at any time." Wei Renshi replied.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Hu merchants are not difficult to find, and our firm has cooperated with many Hu merchants." It's only a day or two at most. It's better for Wei Langjun to stay somewhere to stay, and when I find all the Hu Shang, I will send someone to invite Wei Langjun over. ”
"Okay." Wei Renshi nodded, told the shopkeeper about the inn he was staying in, and was about to leave.
The shopkeeper planned to invite Wei Ren to have a practical meal, but Wei Renshi also declined. He wanted to visit the North Market, and then go to Jixian Hall Academy to have a look.
The North Market is also very lively, with a wide variety of goods. Wei Renshi walked around and found that the silk and spice business in the North Market was the majority.
Wei Renshi was very interested in these spices, and after going in and looking at them, he found that most of the spices sold were sesame oil and grease.
At this time, there was no distillation method, so naturally you couldn't make alcohol, and you couldn't make perfume.
All the way down, from eating to dressing, from decoration to dressing...... With the help of his knowledge of more than 1,200 years of Tang people, Wei Renshi discovered countless business opportunities.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Renshi's mood is quite excited along the way.
There are so many businesses to do, and now that I have solved the food and clothing of my family, I need to have a manor and build a few workshops to make those things.
It's just that these things can't be rushed, and they have to be done step by step. At the moment, Wei Renshi does not have that capital.
However, Wei Renshi is not worried. Unless there are other traversers, these things are not worried about being made by others in this era at all.
After visiting the North Market, Wei Renshi didn't bother to inquire, so he hired a carriage directly from the North City and asked the coachman to pull him outside the Jixian Hall to discharge from the hospital.
The quaint academy seems to smell a trace of ink through the walls. There were no guards at the door, and a few scholar-like people came out of it, laughing and laughing into the distance.
Wei Renshi saw that he was also dressed as a scholar, so he explained: "Xi'er, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll try to see if I can get in." ”
After Xi'er nodded, Wei Renshi turned around and walked towards the door.
There was no small servant in the door, Wei Renshi walked straight in, and no one came out to stop him.
Although this Jixian Hall Academy is called a academy, it is not a academy for gathering disciples to teach. It is more like a national library, a book collection institution, which the imperial court uses to collect and sort out various books and classics, revise national history and current affairs, and make edicts.
It's really not strictly controlled here, and after Wei Renshi came in, he also met other scholars.
Wei Renshi followed them unhurriedly from a distance, watched them walk to the back courtyard, walked to a building, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and quietly pushed open the door and dodged in.
When Wei Renshi walked up to him and quietly pushed the door open a crack, he found that there were many people in the door, all holding books and reading intently, not paying attention to the things around them.
It turned out that they were all students reading books in Jixiandian Academy.
Although the scholar clan has declined in recent years, it is only inferior to the past, and compared to ordinary people, it is still an unattainable height.
The books are all in the hands of the scholars, and it is difficult for students who are not from the scholars to have the opportunity to read many books.
There are a lot of books in Jixiandian Academy, and students come here to rub books, but they have the opportunity to read.
This also made Wei Renshi have a good impression of the administrator of this Jixian Hall Academy.
This is clearly a deliberate release of water, deliberately allowing students to mix in to read books. Otherwise, how could these students be so calm to pick up books here and read?
Wei Renshi also walked in, the collection of books inside did not look old, and the students were also cautious when they read it, turning the pages very lightly, and it could be seen that they also cherished these books very much.
Suddenly, a book suddenly appeared in Wei Renshi's eyes, and he took it down excitedly and opened it.
Later, when I went to college, there was a unique copy of this book in the school library, which is said to be the only book in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know if it was this one!
At that moment, Wei Renshi's heart was about to move, and he almost wanted to write a sentence on it.
Fortunately, there was no pen or ink at hand, Wei Renshi took a deep breath and dispelled this thought.
Just as Wei Renshi was about to put the book back, he suddenly heard a shout from outside, shouting: "The old man just left for a while, and you actually broke into Jixian Courtyard without permission, and you didn't leave quickly!" ”
With these words, I saw that the scholars in the house immediately hurriedly put the books back, grabbed the door and walked out, without stopping, and ran all the way towards the gate of Jixian Hall Academy.
From putting the book back to running out of Jixian Hall Academy in one go, there was no trace of mud and water in it, and Wei Renshi was stunned for a moment.
But I saw two people standing in the courtyard outside the door, one was older, and it was estimated that he was the one who shouted just now. At this moment, watching the students hurriedly flee from the surrounding rooms, they were laughing as if they were watching a good show, but there was no trace of annoyance.
The other was much younger, about thirty years old, and was grinning next to the old man.
"These boys, sneaking into Jixian Courtyard all day long to peek at the collection of books, the old man can't manage it!" The old man shook his head and said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Bachelor Zhang is kind, I think these students can also see it." ”
"Don't talk nonsense in your dreams, the old man is obviously old and frail, even if he drives away these students, he can't drive them away." Mr. Zhang shook his head, sighed deliberately, and said, "Alas, I can't do it!" ”
Mengde? Could it be that Cao Cao also crossed over?
Wei Renshi paused for a moment, and then suddenly remembered someone again, and couldn't help but say, "It's him!" ”
This voice was heard by the two outside, and the old man turned his head to look this way and shouted, "Who is bold enough to hide and not leave?" Could it be that you really have to wait to eat the guilt?! ”
Wei Renshi was arrested, he knew that this old man was the one who deliberately let the students come in to read the book, so he also walked out generously, made a student salute, and said: "The student pays a visit to Bachelor Zhang, thank you Bachelor Zhang for his hard work." ”
