"Shi Xiao Shulang, I recently heard that you are copying books in our Hongwen Pavilion, what do you mean by this?"

Shi Bufan took the initiative to salute this thirty-year-old man and said, "I've seen Master Chu, Master Chu is fine!" ”

This thirty-year-old man, whose name is Chu Suiliang, was appointed by Li Shimin as the new head of Hongwenguan. This Hongwen Pavilion is also the previous Xiuwen Hall, because after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he changed his name, and then it became the Hongwen Hall from the Xiuwen Hall. According to the official establishment in the Hongwen Museum, there are a total of several bachelors, and this is the status of a senior researcher. And there are also some low-level personnel, that is, school scriveners like Shi Bufan, and some minor officials who are responsible for handling specific affairs. This bachelor is like those in the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the original world, but the academician has a high status, and it is impossible to do everything himself, so naturally there must be some people who have a hand, Shi Bufan, a junior official like the school secretary, is also a low-level clerk under them, responsible for specific affairs.

This Chu Suiliang is now the head of the Hongwen Pavilion and is responsible for the management of the Hongwen Pavilion. However, Shi Bufan knew that this Chu Suiliang was a calligrapher in the future, he was called one of the four masters in the early Tang Dynasty in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and later was the minister of Li Shimin's death, but he was cleaned up by Wu Zetian, and this Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji were cleaned up by Wu Zetian together.

"Shi Xiao Shulang, what do you mean by this? Actually copied books in our Hongbunkan and took them out for public display in the library? The books in this Hongwen Pavilion were all bought by my Tang Dynasty Imperial Court at a great price, and you actually copied them out like this? You're a thief! What's more, you actually printed it on a large scale and then put it in the library for countless people to see, so it's a ...... It's just ......," Chu Suiliang asked.

Shi Bufan was very bland, and then obviously didn't take Chu Suiliang's words seriously. Because he knew that the reason why this Chu Suiliang came over was because Shi Bufan had violated the interests of their scholars, this Chu Suiliang naturally wanted to come over to organize. Shi Bufan copied these books and put them in the library for public reading, and those who read from poor families could borrow books and learn all kinds of knowledge as long as they spent a small price. Even Shi Bufan came up with the method of Chinese pinyin, and even carried out some Chinese pinyin annotation fonts, so that literacy is faster. In this way, they can also learn words and culture more quickly, although it may not be as good as the master directly, but it is definitely so that the vast majority of poor students can have the opportunity to learn culture.

As Chu Suiliang's clan, Shi Bufan's behavior has touched their sensitive nerves. They felt that if Shi Bufan was allowed to copy the book like this, and then put it in the library for large-scale borrowing, then the people could see the book and learn the culture at a very low price. In this way, the cultural monopoly of the scholar clan will also be broken, so now of course Chu Suiliang can't sit still and wants to come over to stop it. To prevent Shi Bufan from continuing to copy books, and even to organize Shi Bufan to print these books, so that the people can read books at a smaller cost.

You must know that the books of the scholar clan have also taken hundreds of years to accumulate, and countless economic costs have been spent on them. It had taken them so many years, but now the strategy of this library directly neutralized their hundreds of years of accumulation. Originally, the scholars were not afraid that the poor would be able to read, because the cost of a book was extremely high, and the general poor would need to go without eating or drinking for a year before they could buy one or two books. But now that Shi Bufan has come up with this library's strategy, it's just too tricky.

Although these books still belong to the library, the "knowledge" learned by the poor people is forever engraved in the minds of the poor students, and will not be changed because of the change of the ownership of the "material" of the book, and the knowledge learned will not be forgotten, so the ownership of the book is not important.

Because the knowledge learned by books will not be forgotten. Therefore, Shi Bufan adheres to the principle that buying books is not as good as renting books, and implements the strategy of the library. In this way, the cultural blockade of the Shi clan has almost begun to loosen, so this Chu Suiliang naturally wants to come over to stop it, once this situation is allowed to spread, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Master Chu, I don't think there's anything wrong with me? You say that I steal, and that is unreasonable. I'm stealing, I'm just copying books. And copying books seems to be the responsibility of my Hongbunkan school scrivener, right? My current job is to teach the young royal family and the sons, and I come to copy the book after I have completed my tasks every day. I took the initiative to work overtime on my own, and it was good that the court didn't give me extra money, and you still blame me? Shi Bufan snorted coldly.

Chu Suiliang was laughed at by Shi Bufan's "crooked reasoning", and said angrily: "Okay, I heard that Shi Xiaoshulang is good at eloquence, and I know that I am not your opponent." However, you should know that this is Hongwen Hall, and I am the master of the academy, according to the rules, I will punish you as a small school scrivener, and even suspend your authority, then it is okay. So, you have to think about it! ”

Shi Bufan replied plainly, obviously without any nervousness, and said: "May I ask Master Chu Suiliang, may I ask which rule of the imperial court I have violated, or which rule of this Hongwen Pavilion I have violated, and you want to suspend my authority?" Also, I am a man from Wupin County in the imperial court, or a scholar of the Jiupin School, and my appointment power lies in the Ministry of Officials. If you want to remove me from my position, then please go to the Ministry of Justice. So, it seems that I didn't violate any of the rules of our Hongbunkan, I just copied the book. When did we prohibit copying books in Hongbunkan? ”

Chu Suiliang immediately scolded: "You took out the book after copying it, and printed it on a large scale, this is theft." ”

"Theft? Hmph, what's the trouble of wanting to add sin? Shi Bufan replied coldly, obviously not caring.

He knew that it was impossible for him to have a good relationship with Chu Suiliang, because of Shi Bufan, who copied books and went out to print them on a large scale, this was definitely touching an important core interest of the scholars, that is, cultural monopoly. The more the cultural monopoly is beneficial to the nobles, so of course they support the cultural monopoly. What Shi Bufan is doing is spreading the culture, so of course they have an opinion. Chu Suiliang is a scholar, he is the closest to Shi Bufan, so he can naturally come out to control Shi Bufan, and not let Shi Bufan copy books.

Shi Bufan knew that this Chu Suiliang was the future prime minister, but Shi Bufan could not back down, because he had no way to retreat. What if Chu Suiliang is the prime minister, wasn't he also cleaned up by Wu Zetian in the original history? Perhaps many people think that Wu Zetian is evil, and Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji are innocent. However, Shi Bufan knew that there was no innocence between them, and the so-called people appointed by Wu Zetian were not necessarily traitors, they just represented different class interests.

Wu Zetian has represented a large part of the interests of the Hanmen Shu clan since the Li Zhi period, and Wu Zetian can be said to be an important representative of the interests of the Hanmen Shu clan, so Wu Zetian and the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang's struggle, as well as Chu Suiliang, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Laiji's opposition to Wu Zetian as the queen, is because of the class struggle behind them. Li Zhi's first empress, Empress Wang, was from the Gaomen Shi clan and naturally represented the interests of the Shi clan. Wu Zetian represents the interests of the Hanmen Shu clan, because although Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shi Tong, is a national prince, Wu Shi Tong is from a humble background and is considered to be a Shu family. Therefore, what they represent is a class struggle, which cannot be described simply by the harem for favor.

The situation of Li Zhi's harem is very complicated, not only is there a competition between men and women for jealousy and favor, but there is even a class struggle, and Li Zhi, the emperor, wants to grasp the power and pro-government, so he naturally has to clean up the patriarch of the Zhenguan period. So Li Zhi and Wu Zetian teamed up to clean up the eldest grandson Wuji and them.

However, after that, Li Zhi's attitude towards Wu Zetian was repeated several times, which shows that I am afraid that Li Zhi is both using and being wary of the cold door, so this caused several crises in Wu Zetian's early days.

But no matter what, Chu Suiliang and his cronies represented the interests of the scholars, while Wu Zetian's cronies represented the interests of the Han family, so they were naturally involved in the class struggle of this imperial court. After Wu Zetian took power, he vigorously attacked the Shi clan, which is enough to show that Wu Zetian is not the spokesperson of the real Shi clan, and she relies on the support of officials of the Han class. During the Tang Dynasty, the dispute between Wu Zetian and those Li and Tang Dynasty was far from being as simple as a struggle for political power, but a precursor to a class struggle, which spread from the Wu Zetian period to the Niu and Li party struggles in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and even to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and finally ended with the victory of the Han Gate, the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the troubled times.

Shi Bufan ignored this Chu Suiliang, and then Chu Suiliang suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Shi Bufan, do you believe it or not, I can ......"

Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "What?" Master Chu, are you going to be rough? Remember, this is Menxia Province, and it's my Tang Taiji Palace, do you want to be rude? You know, I'm not afraid of fighting, I fought with Donggong Shi Gengcheng once before, do you want to be rough with me? However, this is my Tang Palace, if we are rude, you have to think about the consequences! However, if you want to be rough, I will accompany you, and it is just a good time to exercise. ”

"You-" Chu Suiliang was once again angry by Shi Bufan's words, because of course he didn't dare to act rough in the palace.

If you fight with your subordinates in the palace, how embarrassing is it to spread the word? However, Chu Suiliang immediately chose to leave, and Shi Bufan didn't care about copying the book again. Anyway, in this court, even if Chu Suiliang is his boss, it is impossible to do anything to himself.

Want to revoke your position? This is impossible, because the appointment power of officials above the ninth rank is in the ministry, and Chu Suiliang's hand is not so deep that he can interfere in the affairs of the ministry. And especially this kind of official who serves in the palace, not to mention that the revocation can also be revoked, especially considering the emperor's opinion.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang has no real and actual threat to himself, and Shi Bufan will not be afraid of him.

However, soon, a few big men came to Hongwen Hall, and then came to Shi Bufan. However, if you don't see it, you can do what you do. Because he knew that this Chu Suiliang was poor in donkey skills, and he could only use this method to threaten.

But Shi Bufan knew that these big men could only watch here, and it was impossible for them to do anything. Beating up the officials of Menxia Province in Menxia Province is simply looking for death. Therefore, although those big men looked at Shi Bufan with vicious eyes, they didn't have hands at all.

"Shi Xiao Shulang, Master Chu let us look at you. We just watched you do things, and then every time you went, I followed you. If you really can't stand it, you can take the initiative to talk to Master Chu, so that Master Chu will remove us, what do you think? We're going to protect you these days! ”

"Protection? I'm afraid it's a threat, right? However, I don't believe that you dare to do it! If you want to follow, I'll be afraid of you? I haven't experienced this kind of stalking and personal threats, and if I would be afraid of this kind of, then I really spent more than ten years in a famous university in the capital! Shi Bufan snorted in his heart.

This kind of threat was too low-level for Shi Bufan, and he knew that it was impossible for Chu Suiliang to kill him. These big men are just a blind man who lights the lamp in vain, and may be afraid of some timid people, but is Shi Bufan a timid person? Since he scolded and fought along the way, he has received many personal threats and personal attacks, has he ever been afraid? Shi Bufan was sure that they didn't dare to beat themselves, if they dared to beat the "court officials", they were looking for death.

So Shi Bufan knew that it was impossible for them to do it, which made Shi Bufan very relieved. However, Shi Bufan continued to copy books in his own way, and then copied several books every day and sent them back for printing. After the publication is completed, it is placed in the library, which can then borrow it. A large number of books were given away, and some were even marked with pinyin to help beginners learn Chinese characters, so that they could also learn a lot of culture.

As for this kind of Chu Suiliang's threat, Shi Bufan didn't care, because no matter whether Shi Bufan compromised or not, they couldn't become all the way. The classes they came from were also different, and the different classes they came from almost made them represent different interests, and they could not have too many so-called friendly relations. Since it is the same whether to compromise or not, there is no need to please them so much. Since the result cannot be changed, why should we suffer to be wronged?
