Chapter 36 The Bookstore Flourishes
When the Chang Attendant walked out of the Wancheng bookstore, his face was full of spring breeze, and he undoubtedly felt that this errand had been done.
When he went out, the constant attendant did not forget to remind Kong Xuan: "Kong Xuan, our family sees that there are some doorways in this Wancheng bookstore, and the price is also affordable, so it is better to put a notice at the door of the bookstore, and write some prices on it, so that it is more convenient for others to read." ”
Kong Xuan nodded, thinking that this method was feasible, so he thanked the permanent attendant and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
The permanent attendant waved his hand and said to the palace people guarding outside the bookstore: "Leave a few to set up the food, and the rest will follow our family back to the palace!" ”
"Whoa." The people answered.
The other people gathered around the Wancheng bookstore also heard whispering voices, and they didn't understand what the people in the palace had bought after spending a large cart of food in this newly opened shop?
"What does this little shop sell?"
"Hmm...... Ignorance. ”
After all, there are very few literate people in this era, but after all, Wancheng is the capital of Great Qin, and there is still no shortage of scholars.
"Wancheng Bookstore...... It seems to be selling books. One answered.
Everyone looked at it, and they really thought it was a bookstore, and soon their interest was general, book Jane? That has little to do with the common people.
"Wait, you guys have a notice hanging out in the bookstore!"
Just as I was about to leave, I heard someone say this.
Notice? The crowd gathered around and recognized the shop as a literate person from the bookstore.
Who knew that the literate man first glanced at himself and entered the bookstore.
"This guy didn't say anything, he went into the bookstore!"
"Looking at a reader like him, I'm afraid I've met some good books!"
The guy who had ordered the notice had already come down, and everyone gathered around and asked, "Little brother, what is written on this?" ”
This young man also knew a few words, otherwise he would not have been recruited by Kong Xuan to work in the bookstore, he said: "It is the price of the things sold in the bookstore." ”
"Then you tell us big guys......" someone suggested.
The young man swept the crowd of onlookers, to be honest, there were a lot of people, crowded the entrance of the bookstore to occupy most of the street, but when he thought that today was the day of the opening of the bookstore, the number of people would inevitably attract attention, and finally attracted the flow of customers, which was to explain: "This is the price notice of my bookstore." ”
Immediately, the young man took out a few physical objects and explained them to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone was amazed, they didn't expect that the things sold in this bookstore were so cheap!
"No wonder the literate man just now saw the notice and entered the bookstore without saying anything!"
As soon as I heard it, the best-selling "Shuowen Jie Zi" in the bookstore was from Lord Han of Shanglin Yuan, a new upstart in Daqin, and some people could already smell a certain breath.
"Butcher Zhang, you are a big old man, what are you doing in the bookstore!"
The butcher turned around and said: "Lao Tzu is a big boss, but how old is Lao Tzu's son, if you want him to enlighten next year, it's always right to learn a little literacy!" ”
"Learning to read? Do you know how much food it costs?! Someone asked rhetorically.
"You care about Lao Tzu! The cook next door to Lao Tzu's house, his son went to Nanyang Academy to recognize words for a few years, and now he has become an official in Jianyang, and he has eaten the food given by the imperial court! ”
When everyone heard it, they felt that what Zhang Butcher said was not unreasonable, and Zhang Butcher himself didn't care about anything else, so he went into the bookstore and looked at it, so he made a decision and bought some things.
As soon as they saw this, the people outside the Wancheng bookstore realized it and entered the bookstore in unison.
……
The permanent attendant has already returned to the palace of King Qin, originally thought that the king would stay in the Xuanzheng Palace, but he pounced, and the attendant who guarded the palace said that His Majesty went to the palace.
The constant attendant rushed to the palace.
This palace pond is the back garden in the palace of King Qin, rockery pond water, and koi carp, which is one of the few leisure places that Qin Bo goes.
But in this winter, the grass and trees are frozen to death, what do you do in that desolate place?
However, the holy will is difficult to guess, and the permanent attendant just didn't think much about it, and when he arrived at the palace, he saw the king with Gao Jin and several palace guards behind him, but the atmosphere was a little dull.
Chang Jian suddenly remembered, a few years ago, the former minister of the state was in the palace at this time to resign to the king.
When this gentleman misses the old people, the permanent attendant who knows about this matter will naturally not rush to disturb him.
So he turned back to the main hall of the Qin Palace and waited.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Qin Bo and his entourage turned back to the main hall of the Qin Palace, and carried out the last busy state of the day.
But Uncle Qin didn't start writing for long, when he heard Gao Jin remind, "The permanent attendant is back."
Qin Bo raised his head, and the Chang Attendant had already knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Wancheng Bookstore has been dealt with. ”
Immediately, the permanent attendant held the list, Qin Bo asked Gao Jin to take it, Qin Bo read it, looked at Gao Jin and asked: "300,000 pieces of white paper, ten high-grade millibrushes, one hundred medium-grade millimillimeters, one thousand low-grade millimillimeters, and a thousand volumes of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", Gao Jin, how much is the value?" ”
Gao Jin thought that Uncle Qin felt that the purchase account was wrong, but when he thought about it, Chang Supervisor didn't look like a person who would do anything in it, and he didn't know what had happened in it, so he inflated the price he guessed a little: "Two thousand stones? ”
Uncle Qin shook his head.
Gao Jin glanced at the permanent attendant, and also thought that this time the permanent attendant's actions were definitely excessive, otherwise Qin Bo would not have paid too much attention to this matter, but he still guessed at Qin Bo: "Three thousand stones? ”
"Huh? …… Wrong. Qin Bo shook his head again, and then he didn't want to tease Gao Jin, but looked at Chang Attendant and said: "Something worth two or three thousand stones, it can be pulled back to the palace for less than three hundred stones, Chang Attendant, you are really good at it!" ”
"Three hundred stones? ……”
Gao Jin was surprised, he thought that Chang Attendant was greedy for some of them, but he never expected that Chang Attendant was not greedy for ink, and he also pushed the price of this thing worth thousands of stones so low!
Constant Attendant, Constant Attendant...... We know that you want to do a few beautiful things to show the king, but after so many years in the palace, don't you know that the king hates the most oppressive behavior?!
Gao Jin also thought of it in his heart.
Chang Attendant originally thought that the king was praising himself, but the more he said to the end, the more Chang Attendant heard the unusual taste, and saw Qin Bo's face turn cold, and Gao Jin's eyes next to him signaled, and Chang Attendant finally reacted......
The king actually thinks that he is oppressing people with power, buying and selling?!
Thinking of this, the constant attendant was smiling bitterly in his heart, didn't he think that such a low price was Kong Xuan's intentional "filial piety" at that time!
However, the constant attendant had to explain: "The king doesn't know, and the old slave also thinks these things are too cheap, and asks the owner of the bookstore...... That is, Kong Xuan, a person from the old palace, did he see that the old slave came from the palace, and he sold it cheaper, and then he paid attention to it at the door of the bookstore, not only the old slave, but also the ordinary people, and it was also at such a price. ”
The permanent attendant also explained: "Your Majesty, the old slave will never dare to do anything unscrupulous, that Kong Xuan only counted two hundred and thirty stone grain, but the old slave was afraid that he would lose money, so he gave him all the three hundred stone grain he brought over, and he would never dare to deceive His Highness!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Bo's face softened slightly, after all, the permanent attendant is an old man in the palace, and the wind evaluation has always been good, since he said so, it must not be difficult for Wancheng to investigate, so Qin Bo also speculated that the permanent attendant was credible.
But......
Uncle Qin's gaze returned to the list.
""Shuowen Jie Zi" Thousand Volumes and One Hundred Stone ......"
Qin Bo was puzzled, he already vaguely knew that behind the Wancheng bookstore was Liuzi Yuyan, but such a thick pile of books, with a correct font on it, was definitely not from the hands of ordinary people.
Isn't the lonely sixth son a businessman who gathers wealth?
This thought suddenly appeared in Qin Bo's heart, and then he looked at the permanent attendant and said, "In this case, you should carefully watch the follow-up of Wancheng Bookstore, if there is any difference, report it immediately, and after the purchased paper and pen books are in place, they will be distributed to the offices of various departments and offices." ”
"Whoa!" The constant attendant replied.
Qin Bo stared at the high-grade brush presented by the constant attendant, the workmanship is fine, and the carved pattern is very good-looking, although it is not as good as the jade Yu he holds, but this jade Yu is the best jade craftsman in Daqin, the material is the Lantian jade outside Wuguan, and the carved flower worker is thousands of times that of this high-grade brush.
Naturally, the two cannot be compared.
However, Qin Bo changed the high-grade brush in his hand, dipped it in ink, and wrote a small seal with the word "read" at the end of the bamboo slip on the dragon case.
This "reading" word is different from what Qin Bo usually writes, the strokes should be simplified, and Gao Jin next to him also recognized it, and the structure of this "reading" word is from Han Kui's compilation of "Shuowen Jie Zi"?
Even the king's ......
Gao Jin suddenly realized that Daqin's font finally had a conclusive standard.
After writing the word "read", Qin Bo stared at the brush in his hand and stared for a long time, this sharp edge has surpassed his original jade Yu, and it is much longer than Yu Yu's ink resistance.
After all, jade is made of Lantian jade, and jade does not absorb ink.
However, in addition to appreciating, Uncle Qin couldn't help but sigh: These six sons are really not the material of the wealthy businessman......
"Ahh
Lin Yuyan, who was in the study of the mansion, sneezed for some reason.
Is someone scolding me?
Lin Yuyan's flashes of time are fleeting, after all, because of the camp problem, the old clan is already eager to kill him, and scolding is nothing anymore.
Lin Yuyan continued to focus on the good news of the bookstore sent by Kong Xuan, but in just half a day, he reached the quota of 400 stone of grain.
This book monopoly really makes money!
Lin Yuyan also paid attention to the bookstore, because he suddenly found that there were really a lot of impressions of books in his mind, and if he took them all out, I am afraid that even the Central Plains, which is known as the prosperity of poetry and book etiquette, will be difficult to compare.
Lu's Spring and Autumn?
No, it should be called Lin's Spring and Autumn.
Lin Yuyan shook his head, this book is too shocking, no, there should be some books that are more similar to enlightenment first.
Analects?
This Lu Zhongni's posthumous work is already the teachings of the current Confucianism, and if it is popularized on a large scale in the Great Qin, it will inevitably cause a situation in which Confucianism flourishes for a while, and it is not a good thing for the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended and all countries tried their best to attract talents.
It can not only enlighten the people's wisdom, but also not involve the dispute of a hundred schools.
Lin Yuyan slapped his thigh and said, "How did I forget that!" ”
Taking out the brush, Lin Yuyan wrote a line of words on the paper: The Fable of Great Qin.
