Chapter 124: 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 Wancheng is the capital of the martial arts country after all, and there is still no shortage of scholars.
"Wancheng Bookstore...... It seems to be a book to buy. 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" was compiled by Gu Liangqiu of Nanyang Academy, and some people already smelled 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, originally thought that His Majesty would stay in the Xuanzheng Palace, but he pounced, and the attendant of 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, rockery pond water, and koi carp, which is one of the few leisure places that Emperor Wu goes.
But in this winter, the grass and trees are frozen to death, what is Your Majesty going to 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 Emperor Wu with Gao Jin and several Yulin guards behind him, but the atmosphere was a little dull.
The Chang Attendant suddenly remembered that a few years ago, it was at this time that the former Minister of the Kingdom said goodbye to His Majesty in the palace palace.
When His Majesty misses the old man, the permanent attendant who knows about this matter will naturally not rush to disturb him.
So he turned back to the outside of the Xuanzheng Hall and waited.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Emperor Wu and his entourage turned back to the Xuanzheng Hall and carried out the last busy state of the day.
But Emperor Wu didn't start writing for long, but he heard it and quickly reminded, "The permanent attendant is back."
Emperor Wu 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 Chang Attendant Supervisor held the list, Emperor Wu asked Gao Jin to take it, Emperor Wu read it, looked at Gao Jin and asked: "300,000 pieces of white paper, ten high-grade millibrushes, 100 medium-grade millimillimeters, 1,000 low-grade millimillimeters, and a thousand volumes of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", Gao Jin, what is the value?" ”
Gao Jin thought that Emperor Wu felt that the procurement account was wrong, but when he thought about it, Chang Attendant didn't look like a person who would do anything in it, and he didn't know what happened to him, so he inflated the price he guessed a little: "Two thousand stones? ”
Emperor Wu shook his head.
Gao Jin glanced at the Chang Attendant, and also thought that this time the Chang Attendant Supervisor's hands and feet were definitely excessive, otherwise Emperor Wu would not have paid too much attention to this matter, but he still guessed at Emperor Wu: "Three thousand stones? ”
"Huh? …… Wrong. Emperor Wu shook his head again, and then he didn't intend to tease Gao Jin, but looked at Chang Attendant and said: "What is worth two or three thousand stones, it can be pulled back to the palace for less than three hundred stones, Chang Attendant, I see that 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 Your Majesty, but after so many years in the palace, don't you know that Your Majesty hates the most oppressive behavior?!
Gao Jin also thought of it in his heart.
Chang Attendant originally thought that Emperor Wu was praising himself, but the more he talked about it, the more Chang Attendant heard the unusual taste, and saw Emperor Wu's face turn cold, and Gao Jin's eyes next to him signaled, and Chang Attendant finally reacted......
Your Majesty actually thinks that he is using power to suppress people, and force people to buy and sell?!
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: "Your Majesty 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 of grain, but the old slave was afraid that he would lose money, so he gave him all the three hundred stone of grain he brought over, and he would never dare to deceive His Highness!" ”
Hearing this, Emperor Wu's face softened slightly, after all, the Chang Attendant Supervisor is an old man in the palace, and the wind review has always been good, since he said so, it must not be difficult for Wancheng to investigate, so Emperor Wu also speculated that Chang Attendant's words were credible.
But......
Emperor Wu's gaze returned to the list.
""Shuowen Jie Zi" Thousand Volumes and One Hundred Stone ......"
Emperor Wu 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 Huzi a businessman who gathers money?
This thought suddenly appeared in Emperor Wu'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.
Emperor Wu stared at the high-grade brush presented by the permanent 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 is the best jade craftsman in Wuguo, and the carved flower is thousands of times that of this high-grade milli brush.
Naturally, the two cannot be compared.
However, Emperor Wu 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 "read" word, different from what Emperor Wu usually wrote, the strokes should be simplified, and Gao Jin next to him also recognized it, the structure of this "reading" word is from Gu Liangqiu's compilation of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi"?
Even Your Majesty ......
Gao Jin suddenly realized that Wu Guo's font finally had a conclusive basis.
After writing the word "read", Emperor Wu stared at the brush in his hand and stared for a long time, this Feng Zhichang has surpassed his original jade jade, and it is much longer than the ink resistance of jade Yu.
After all, jade is made of Lantian jade, and jade does not absorb ink.
However, in addition to appreciation, Emperor Wu couldn't help but sigh: These six sons are really not the material for wealthy businessmen......
"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 Wu Kingdom, it will inevitably cause a situation in which Confucianism flourished for a while, which is not a good thing for the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended.
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 on the paper: The Fable of the Martial Kingdom.
