Chapter 239: A dilemma

Lu Zhen lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "Mr. Ji has devoted his life to education, I don't think he will refuse, I can help you ask." ”

Lin Qingwan got up and thanked: "Then I'll thank Lu Duhu here first." ”

After finding a time, Lu Zhen went to see Ji Yuan again, unlike last time, this time he stayed in the house for a long time, and he took Ji Yuan with him when he left.

Song Jing, who was still sitting peacefully in the house drinking tea, couldn't help but be surprised, put down the teacup and asked in surprise, "He followed Lu Zhen away?" What did you do? ”

How do the subordinates know where they have gone?

He was just ordered to go back and forth, but he didn't dare to answer like this, so he made an excuse and said: "Then Lu Zhen is followed by a lot of guards, and the lower officials dare not follow." ”

Song Jing raised his eyebrows and thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Ji shouldn't betray my Da Chu, right?" ”

The subordinate officer thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Mr. Ji is not that kind of person, he either doesn't rely on both sides, doesn't help Da Chu, and won't help Da Liang, if you really want the two countries to choose one country, it should be our Da Chu." Miss Ji is going to be our crown princess. ”

Song Jing's brows relaxed slightly, nodded and said: "That's good, wait for Mr. Ji to come back and tell me, although I don't suspect that he is in harmony with the beam, but we also need to know some of the situation of the beam, which is good for us to negotiate." ”

The subordinate officer should be lowered.

Ji Yuan went to see Lin Qingwan with Lu Zhen, he was very interested in Lin Qingwan's reading building, although he knew that this trip would be suspicious, but he still went.

It is his lifelong ideal to let everyone in the world know books and etiquette, and he is willing to break the festival for his two children, but he is unwilling to give up this ideal.

Lin Qingwan's reading building is actually similar to his academy, so I don't know if the other party really wants to run this reading building, or if it is to buy people's hearts.

If the first one is naturally good, but Ji Yuan hopes to have both, so that this reading building can last for a long time.

There are ideals, there are interests, and one thing is easy to do, for example, the Tianxia Academy he ran in Jiangling was able to run it because the emperor at that time had the world in his heart, had ideals in his heart, and wanted to gather all the talents from all over the world, so he could do it.

And now, the Meng family only has interests in his heart, and no longer has the same ideals as him, and the Tianxia Academy is scattered.

After Lin Qingwan received Lu Zhen's message, she booked a place in the champion building, and when Ji Yuan arrived, she had already waited in the box in advance.

Seeing Lu Zhen's carriage parked downstairs, Lin Qingwan took Lin Yubin and Lin You down to pick up people.

Ji Yuan got out of the carriage and saw a man and a woman following Lin Qingwan, and couldn't help but be stunned, Lin Qingwan didn't introduce them, but smiled sideways: "Mr. Ji, please." ”

Ji Yuan bowed slightly, "Lord Lin is polite, please first." ”

The two of them went upstairs together, and Lin You and Lin Yubin asked Lu Zhen to go first, and then they followed back and went upstairs respectfully.

The champion building is quite lively, and most of them are people from the capital, everyone doesn't know Lin Qingwan and Ji Yuan, but they feel that Lu Zhen is familiar, and they can't help but look at it for a while.

Lin Qingwan invited Ji Yuan to the box without squinting, Lin You and Lin Yubin made tea for everyone smartly, and then retreated to stand behind Lin Yubin.

Of the three people sitting, only two people stood behind Lin Qingwan, and she seemed to be powerful.

She obviously didn't expect this, so she couldn't help but be happy, and said to the two children: "You guys also sit down, Lu Duhu and Mr. Ji are not outsiders." ”

Lu Zhen smiled slightly, "Exactly, you all sit down, otherwise your aunt will only be afraid that she will be uncomfortable." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled at Ji Yuan and said, "Let Mr. Ji laugh." ”

Lin Qingwan is so generous, of course Ji Yuan won't mind having a small belly, and said with a slight smile: "The county lord is polite, they are still children, and they should indeed be brought out to see the world." ”

"That's exactly the reason," Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "Another point is that because the Reading Building will also be handed over to them for management in the future, so they still know some things well from the beginning, so I don't have to teach them little by little in the future." ”

Lin Qingwan asked the two of them to sit down, and said straight to the point: "This time I invited Mr. Ji to come to read the books in the library, you also know that there are so many books in the world, and we have one-tenth of them, even if they are rich, so although my Lin family has a lot of books, there are also many inexhaustibles, so I need Mr. Ji's help." ”

Ji is an ancient surname, and the families that generally maintain this surname are relatively old, not to mention their book collection, let's just say that Ji Yuan has slowly collected books for so many years.

There may not be as many as Lin's, but there are certainly a lot.

Ji Yuan nodded, he did have a lot of books, and now he is still in Jiangling Mansion.

However, those books are not eye-catching, no one will rob or possess them, but they are very safe, he asked Lin Qingwan curiously, "What are you going to do with this reading building of Lord Lin?" Who is sizable, and how is it managed? ”

"Anyone can be considerable, whether it is a prince or a beggar, as long as their hands are clean, they can enter the building to read books," Lin Qingwan said: "In the early stage, it naturally has to rely on investment to maintain its operation, but I hope that in the future, it will be self-sufficient, and even have a surplus to expand the scale of the reading building." ”

"Self-sufficient? What is the income? ”

"Selling books," Lin Qingwan said, "Although it is a reading building, it also sells books." A good book, there are always people who want to have it, you can read it anytime and anywhere, and if someone wants to buy it, we will sell it. ”

"This is on the one hand, on the other hand, I also hope that the reading building can help some poor students, someone buys books, then we have to print books, but the cost of printing is too high, unless the other party needs a large number of books, otherwise only one or two copies, the engraving of the book version is not cost-effective, so we need someone to copy the book."

In fact, most of the books circulating in the market are copied, except for some books that are in high demand and will be printed, most bookstores prefer to ask students to copy books.

The cost is low and the speed is fast.

To know that a new book, the photoengraving version may take a month, and it will take more than ten days for the shortest.

As for short articles, a scholar may only need to copy them for a day or two before they come out.

As a senior educator, Ji Yuan naturally knows this, and he has introduced many students to the work of copying books.

But this is the truth that he only learned after teaching for many years, after all, he has been free of food and clothing since he was a child, although he also knew that some friends often copied books for the bookstore, but he didn't know how to operate it.

When he knew, he was already a teacher, and then he knew how hard the poor students were.

He didn't expect Lin Qingwan, a girl raised in a deep boudoir, to realize their hard work at such an age, and specially provided them with a path.

Lin Qingwan handed Ji Yuan the rules of the reading building she had set, which she had set according to the management rules of libraries and some bookstores in her previous life combined with the characteristics of this era, and she hoped that Ji Yuan could help her see if there were any shortcomings.

Ji Yuan's eyes were full of brilliance, especially when he stayed for a while in the multi-career development marked by Lin Qingwan.

He was so excited that he stood up and turned around twice, and said happily to Lin Qingwan: "According to the county lord's setting, the reading building only needs to exist for a hundred years, why don't the world worry about unification, and why don't the people worry about food and clothing?" ”

Lu Zhen looked at the booklet in Ji Yuan's hand in surprise when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "Mr. Ji has praised it falsely, it is not certain what this reading building can do." ”

"It will definitely be done," Ji Yuan said to her solemnly: "The county lord has to work hard." ”

Lin Qingwan also put away the smile on her face, and said solemnly to the other party: "Mr. Ji, don't worry, Qingwan will go all out." ”

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, the county lord, those books in my collection will be sent to you back, I hope to give you some help." ”

Lin Qingwan was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, don't worry, I will only use those books as originals, and I will return the originals when I print out the copies." ”

Lin Qingwan also smiled: "You have too many books, it is impossible for me to buy them one by one, so I will ask people to write down the books to be printed, and if you sell one in the future, you can get a share of thirty percent of the profits." ”

Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, those books are just a pile of papers left in my hands, and they are only books when they are delivered to you." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, but she had already made up her mind in her heart, the money must be given to the other party, and she didn't tell the other party anything about the integrity of the literati and the smell of copper.

"How can I get those books?" Since the other party has agreed to borrow it, Lin Qingwan naturally has to worry about the problem of taking it, "The Suzhou side of the Reading Building is already preparing, and it may be completed in the spring of next year, so you can see ......"

Ji Yuan said with a smile: "The county lord just waits in Suzhou with peace of mind, and the book will naturally be delivered to you." ”

Lin Qingwan saw that he didn't intend to talk more, so she didn't ask anymore, raised her teacup and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Ji for your help, I will replace the wine with tea, find a good time another day, I want to thank you well." ”

Ji Yuan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank it.

Lu Zhen's eyes couldn't help but fall on the booklet in the Reading Building, is the Reading Building really that good?

It's worth Mr. Ji's trouble.

He believes in Ji Yuan's vision, but isn't the reading building just like a bookstore?

It's just that it's bigger and the book is more complete.

The current bookstore does not prevent scholars from going in to read books, although there are occasionally some blank eyes, but the store does not rush people.

Isn't it the case that every bookstore copies books?

So what is there to be so admired by Mr. Ji?

Lu Zhen reached out to the book, Lin You stepped forward to pour him tea, just blocking his movements, and when he pushed it away, Lin Yubin had already put the booklet away.

Lu Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth and gave him a secret, but when the reading building is completed, will he know?

Ji Yuan saw the movements of this pair of children in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Lin You and Lin Yubin carefully, seeing that one was smart and handsome, and the other was well-behaved and intelligent, he couldn't help but envy: "Lord Lin is so blessed." ”

Lin Qingwan followed his gaze and couldn't help but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "Mr. Ji doesn't have to envy me, don't you also have a pair of well-behaved and sensible grandchildren?" ”

The smile on Ji Yuan's face was faint, he didn't nod, he didn't shake his head, he just said, "They are far worse than your nephews and nieces." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhen, just in line with the other party's gaze, the two of them turned their eyes away, and they both had some guesses, it seemed that Ji Yuan appeared in Da Chu, and the problem really appeared on his grandchildren.

After having dinner in the Zhuangyuan Building, Lu Zhen sent Ji Yuan back to the post station.

Song Jing saw that the sun was about to set outside, and his face was iron-blue, but when he really faced Ji Yuan, he still restrained his expression, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Mr. Ji is back?" Hurry inside please. ”

Ji Yuan couldn't help but stop and glanced at the other party, nodded slightly, and said, "The envoy is invited first." ”

Song Jing smiled even deeper, he bowed down and smiled: "Mr. Ji is polite, I am a junior, you can call me Xiao Song, not to mention that the juniors will have to follow the princess to call you grandpa in the future." ”

Ji Yuan said lightly: "It's polite, we are now working outside for the public, so naturally we are judging respect and inferiority according to the official position of the court, if we are all talking about private, wouldn't it be a mess?" ”

Song Jing didn't argue with him, and smiled: "Mr. Ji is right, private is private, public is public, we are indeed not confused." By the way, where have you been today? Tomorrow the beam will be printed, have you thought about how to talk about this peace talk? ”

"You are the right envoy, and the lower officials will naturally listen to you."

"Sir is polite to Wansheng again, Your Majesty sent you here just because you are talented and eloquent, and you will be able to wish me to take ......down the beam in one fell swoop."

Ji Yuan was amused in his heart, and couldn't help but teach him: "Lord Song, peace talks are different from talking about the country, the first thing to have in peace talks is sincerity, not to mention that Da Chu was defeated and retreated, it should not be too public, so as not to provoke Da Liang's dissatisfaction......"

"Mr. was able to persuade the Three Kingdoms to abandon their prejudices and help Jiangling back then, but will he be able to talk about Daliang today?" Song Jing said unhappily: "I don't think you can't, but you don't want to." ”

Ji Yuan pursed his lips and was silent.

Song Jing snorted coldly, and then asked, "By the way, what are you doing with Lu Duhu today?" ”

Ji Yuan didn't like his inquiring gaze, and said lightly: "I've gone to see Lord Lin." ”

They didn't avoid people, and it was easy to investigate.

Song Jing was surprised and asked, "What are you doing when you see her?" ”

Ji Yuan, who had nothing to say to people, looked up and saw his probing and suspicious gaze, paused slightly, and then said: "She is the daughter of the deceased, and it was not good to talk deeply in the hall that day, so I will go to see her today and remember my ancestors." ”

"What," Ji Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Lord Song can't even care about who I see?" ”

Song Jing was taken abruptly and said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just that the juniors are curious." ”

Ji Yuan couldn't help but be more disgusted when he saw him bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it seems that whether the world can be unified depends on the big beam.

Da Chu ......

Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, his granddaughter chose the wrong one.

But once some paths are chosen, it is difficult to retreat, behind is an abyss, and a bad one is broken bones, so he can't say whether it is better to retreat or move forward.

Ji Yuan's frowns were furrowed, he didn't make trouble when he was young, but he didn't expect that Lin Lao would have to face such a choice.

Dilemma, moving forward, he has seen the top, and does not see hope, but retreats...... js3v3
