Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, lay on the ground and cried for a while, but reason told him to get up, wipe a handful of tears, and start tidying up again.

Fortunately for Lao Tzu, although the fire caused heavy losses, most of the books passed through his hands, copied and cloned. Some of these copied and cloned ancient books are stored in other places, and some have been disseminated to the people.

To know! The Great Zhou Dynasty is weak, and there are many jobs that are very low-paying. Especially for a person from a humble family like him, it is difficult to make a living by relying on the fortune of the Great Zhou.

For example, it is like some dispensable positions within the country, unit, and enterprise. As a state organ, there are many such positions, although they are not important, but someone must do them.

Lao Tzu's book management work is the same, equivalent to the archaeology, ancient book restoration, protection of modern society talents, the state must pay for support, without these people and can't work, but the state can't get much money to subsidize in this area.

Outcome! For the sake of career and hobbies, for the cultural heritage of mankind, or to save the world, Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, had to fend for himself, and with the consent of King Zhou Ling, he copied countless copies of the restored ancient books and sold them. Such! Not only to maintain their own lives, but also to drive a large number of people to work.

He was responsible for repairing and arranging, others were responsible for writing on bamboo slips, and a large number of burners were also needed. Other than that! And what about the bamboo slip makers?

The whole production process is equivalent to the printing house and publishing house in modern society, and it is conceivable how many people can be employed.

And because of this! Through the hands of Lao Tzu, it not only sorted out and restored countless ancient books, but also solved the employment problem of a large number of people.

These commercial ancient books have also been preserved through multiple channels.

When the ancient books of the Great Zhou Dynasty were transported from the Western Zhou Dynasty to Luoyi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they were not shipped indiscriminately when they were packed and transported, and the previous library staff also classified and packaged them.

They pack the books that are commonly used and load them first, and put the infrequently used ones last.

For example, if there are books that are often borrowed, put them first. As royal, no! The National Library is often borrowed by people. Not only the royal descendants came to borrow the materials, but officials at all levels were likely to come to consult the relevant materials. So! These commonly used books are all prioritized for loading.

And those books that are not commonly used, as well as those that have preservation value, are put last.

So! Generations of librarians only cared about the books that were commonly used, and generally did not bother to care about the books that were not commonly used and had preservation value.

After Lao Tzu took over the work of librarian in Da Zhou, he not only managed, but also restored. Other than that! He was a scholar who loved to read and had to consult a lot of ancient sources. So! He not only consulted the ancient books that were commonly used, but also the ancient books that were not commonly used.

There are many ancient books that are not commonly used, and they have not been opened since they were transported by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

As a national library, you can imagine how many ancient books there are, and there are countless ancient books that have not been opened.

The ancient books that have been sorted out and restored by Lao Tzu are only those that are commonly used, and then they are sorted out according to classification and according to his personal preferences. So! And two-thirds of them he didn't sort out.

This two-thirds is only those books that were successfully transported to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, excluding the books that were lost and moved to other places. Thus! How many books did the Great Zhou Dynasty have in the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time?

It is said that the books of the Western Zhou Dynasty could not be read once, let alone understood, in a person's life. This also includes only the regular, serious books in the National Library, and does not include the messy books in the world. It can also be seen that the Western Zhou Dynasty was the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, and how it was developed in terms of culture and technology.

About this? It's about reading books that you personally want to read and study, not books that refer to all aspects.

Maybe? Refers to all!

Because! At that time, the number of books was still limited, and the social productivity and cultural inheritance were there, and there were not many things left behind. Furthermore! As a national library, not all books have to be collected. Homogeneous books, as well as books that don't have much value, will definitely not be collected.

Most of the ancient books that were burned in this fire were sorted out and restored by Lao Tzu. Books that are not commonly used and have preservation value have not been affected much.

After inspecting the burned books, Lao Tzu's mood improved a little. Under everyone's persuasion, he came out of the library and went back to his bedroom to sleep. Nature! I didn't sleep well this night, and I didn't sleep long. After all the tossing and turning, the sky was almost dawning.

The next day, Lao Tzu hurriedly went to the court and reported the burning of the library to King Zhou Jing.

King Zhou Jing sat paralyzed on the dragon couch and didn't speak for a long time. If he weren't for the Son of Heaven, he would have exploded. What Niang Xipi, Grass 1 Mud Horse, and Nimabi can scold. But he is the Son of Heaven, and he can only suppress it.

It's true! Nima Di! Who are you? Do you dare to burn the library of the Great Zhou? No! Books you all burn? This is the cultural heritage left by our ancestors! Without these cultural heritages, you don't even have a learning teacher? You?

Angry is angry! Let's face it!

What he has to face now is how to stop the unhealthy trend of power struggle between princes and princes?

Although the crown prince Ji Meng has now changed his ways, he used to be too disappointing, and there is basically no power behind him. Except for his cover, there is almost no power. And the little prince Ji Kuo is too young, and there is no force behind him.

King Zhou Jing didn't know that the power behind the little prince Ji Kuo was quite powerful. It's just that! The think tanks behind the scenes unanimously decided to wait until the two gangs of Prince Ji Chao and Prince Ji Meng fought together, and then a fisherman would benefit. It's just that now is not the time to dew, so I don't dare to show it.

Right now! The power of the Prince Ji Dynasty is the strongest, and everything that happens in the palace is related to him. Of course! There is no shortage of people who take the opportunity to frame him.

"That?" Zhou Jingwang was paralyzed for a while before asking, "How should the library be restored?" ”

"Back to the Lord!" Lao Tzu replied: "First repair the house, increase the height and strengthen the wall. And then! His Majesty sorted out a list of burned books and told the world that those who have this book should borrow it for the time being, and His Majesty will organize talents to burn and copy it, and then return the book! Or! Let people from all over the world donate this book......"

"Hmmm! Very good! ”

"And! Back to the Lord! Your Majesty's Advice! The books that were not shipped back to Luoyi that year should be returned to Zhou's room as soon as possible......"

"The minister has something to say! Your Majesty is against it! "At this time! A minister in the court stood up and objected.

"Speak!" Zhou Jingwang asked.

"Your Majesty thinks! It is better to store the books in the weekly room separately! Last night was an example of this! Your Majesty is not talking about the cause of the fire, but about the accident! Not only fire, but also ground movement, rain leakage and other reasons can cause accidents. So! Your Majesty thinks! The collection of books in the Zhou room should be stored separately......"

"You? What do you mean? How can the Great Zhou collection be stored in outsiders? Another minister stood up, stood on Lao Tzu's side, and objected.

"I want to ask you? Outsiders, you say? What is the meaning? Don't? Aren't they the people of the Great Zhou? Not a citizen of the Son of Heaven? The princes of the world, they are only managing the affairs of one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and they are still the courtiers of the Son of Heaven......"
