Chapter 241: Is it necessary to protect ancient books?
The two of them left the Zhou Tibetan room and walked straight to the court, talking as they spoke.
Fang Jishi gave up the idea of "coercing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes", and his mind was open-minded, and there were more words. It's true! The heart is selfless, the world is wide, and the mood is much better if there is no bad heart.
Lao Tzu saw that Fang Jishi seemed to have changed into a different person, and he was also very happy. He had already seen that Fang Jishi was a thoughtful person, and he had always been wary of him. Of course! As a wise man, he did not show it.
You can't see the secret in the words and deeds of wise men, otherwise they wouldn't be called wise men?
In the shadows on both sides of the street, there are a pair of hidden eyes, all of which are paying close attention to the surrounding area. Most of these eyes are the eyes of various forces in the palace, and they are collecting all kinds of information for their masters. There are also people who are two-way spies, providing different information to various parties and collecting benefits from both sides.
In this troubled world, if you have the ability to earn money, you are a shrewd person who can live. These are the people who think they are shrewd people who know how to live.
The guards hidden in all corners are also paying close attention to all movements outside and fulfilling their mission.
These guards in the palace were ostensibly cronies of the Son of Heaven. But in fact, there are also people from various forces hidden among them. These guards have their own masters behind the scenes.
In particular, the guards who are responsible for the security of the various palaces and the guards who protect the prince, although they are palace guards, they are all the palace masters and the prince's cronies.
"Shoot them both!" In the dark pavilion on the roof of a palace, a tall guard asked in a whisper.
"No!"
"Shoot them both, I'm one-two-three!" The tall guard whispered.
"We'll find out we did it!"
"How is that possible?"
"My father has arranged dark lines in each palace, and as long as we do it, it will reach my father's ears immediately."
"This?" The tall guard asked, "Why don't you check the inside line?" Wouldn't it be enough to find a reason to kill these insiders? ”
"If it's so easy to find out, it's still called an inside line?"
"Arrest everyone and beat them up, force them to admit ......"
"I've tried them all! Outcome! was originally his own person, but he rebelled in the face of torture. They thought we were ruthless and unrighteous, and in the end we became the people of our father. Alas! ”
"This, this, this?"
"Often think of it as their own people, as a result! But it's a spy! Alas! The way of the world! How many other people are sincere? For the sake of yourself, you don't care about the lives and deaths of others, what do you think? ”
Hearing what the master said, Wu Yi, a Chu man, had no choice but to put down his bow and arrows and let Fang Jishi pass under his nose.
But he was ruthless in his heart: Fang Jishi! I'm going to kill you with my own hands!
He is none other than the Chu man who came out of prison, the Chu man who rode a horse with a broken tail.
Now he has changed his appearance and was arranged by Prince Ji Chao as a personal guard.
His real name is Wu Yi!
Because he didn't accept the cornerstone of Fang, plus he was saved by the prince Ji Chao, all! Eventually became the dog of the prince Ji Dynasty.
If he hadn't been dissatisfied with Fang Jishi and saved by the prince Ji Dynasty, he would not have become the person of the Prince Ji Dynasty. He is the state of Chu, and everything is for the interests of the state of Chu.
Fang Jishi escorted Lao Tzu to the study of the Son of Heaven, and Lao Tzu asked the little eunuch to go in and inform the Son of Heaven Zhou Jingwang.
"Let's just say that Li Er came to Jin to see the Son of Heaven alone, and he came to deliver a book list! Alone! Lao Tzu deliberately raised a finger and signaled to the little eunuch.
"No!"
King Zhou Jing heard that Lao Tzu was coming, so he hurriedly let him in. He came back after taking care of the morning morning and took care of other things in his study.
Lao Tzu handed over the book list and said some things related to these books.
"Hmmm! Well! Well! Good! Good! The widow knows! Got it! King Zhou Jing couldn't stop nodding in agreement.
"Your Majesty thinks! The best way! Or backup! The Zhou Library is not just a royal internal library, it needs to be opened! ”
"Open?"
"Just burn a copy as fast as you can, or! Donations were raised by the society to open another 'Zhou Zang Room' in the capital. For example......
Lao Tzu wanted to say that all kinds of books should be put in the relevant management departments and collected separately. Such! It is not only convenient for people in this area to consult, but also convenient for collection and preservation. It's the same as his Taoist theory: Break the whole into parts.
For example, put a book on criminal law and put it on the side of the criminal department. Put the book on agriculture and put it on the Ministry of Agriculture. Put the books on smelting and other things to the Ministry of Industry...... And so on.
King Zhou Jingwang waved his hand and said, "It's good!" But what about the silver? It would be nice to burn a copy of all the books in the storehouse, but how much silver would it cost? How much human and financial resources? Isn't it? At present, the Great Zhou, can't make silver by itself? It was up to the princes to pay tribute.
Can now? They? They? Do you see them? Who still pays tribute normally? Do you want Yan State, Jin State, and Qin State? They also said that the Great Zhou would allocate some silver to them, because they were dealing with the Hu people in the north, and they were protecting the frontier of the Great Zhou. You said? You said? I? Where can a widow become silver?
Are you looking for Qi and Chu? They either said that they had suffered a natural disaster, or that there was some accident in the country. Or! They say they helped the Great Zhou to quell the rebellion. In fact! It was their princes who fought against each other, and it was actually for the purpose of quelling the rebellion. The same! They still want to give them some silver! You say it is? If you rush again! They said directly: Why do you keep looking for us? Are we still paying less? What about them? What about the other princes?
These princes! Is! The widow has no way to take them! If there were troops in hand, the widow would still want to! But? Widows? I? Alas! ”
Zhou Jingwang said, spreading his hands helplessly.
Lao Tzu listened to King Zhou Jing's sigh and had no choice but to give up. But! Out of responsibility for future generations, he proposed, "Or? Taking the road of commercialization, please allow me to continue to burn some precious books as before, and sell them to the outside world for private preservation. And then! Reuse the profits earned and burn them ......"
Zhou Jingwang waved his hand again and said, "Didn't you do this before?" But? Someone won't let you do it behind your back? said that you are using the collection of books in the Zhou room to make money, but the widow doesn't believe it, but everyone won't let you continue, and the widow can't be the master! Or? You contracted, how much profit do you pay to Da Zhou in a year, earn more and earn less, and bear your own profits and losses, how about it? ”
Lao Tzu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord! Didn't you say it before? Those of them opened their mouths widely, and Li Er not only didn't make money, but also lost money! Lear: Isn't that? In order to keep these ancient books from being lost, did you do this? But? ……”
"So be it!" King Zhou Jing sat up straight, looked at Lao Tzu with his eyes, and said seriously: "Or? You? You make a list of books, and then let the ministers discuss it, you buy all these copyrights, and the copyrights will be yours forever! to your children and grandchildren! How is it? ”
"Lord! Lear can't afford it! Lord! ”
Lao Tzu said with a sad face: "Li Er thinks that not many people want to collect the ancient books that need to be preserved. In the past, in order to make money, Li Er burned some commonly used books and sold them. And the books that Li Er wants to preserve, only professionals are willing to buy and collect! There are a lot of ancient books, maybe a lifetime! No! Generations won't use it! But it's a cultural relic after all! Lord ......"
