Chapter 249: The shocked Sun Quan
A few days passed in a flash, and Mrs. Wu's mother and son, who were "received" by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an City, temporarily settled down.
Their lives were spared, and they were greatly relieved.
It can be said that not only is there no obstacle to life, but also life is very nourishing, there is no shortage of maids and servants in Dong Zhuo's courtyard, except for the restriction of freedom, there is no worry about eating and drinking, even the top.
Mrs. Wu, who was already extremely beautiful, looked even more beautiful after changing into new clothes, plus the food was good, and her slightly pale cheeks were also stained with blood.
Sun Quan, who is much taller than his peers, after changing into new clothes, his outstanding temperament is also revealed, although he is young, but he has his own momentum between Gu Pan, the maids and maids in the courtyard can't help but look at Sun Quan after seeing him, and then he blushes and lowers his head.
Sun Quan's younger sister looked cute after dressing up, and the other two younger brothers were also much more energetic.
The family is neat and tidy, and it doesn't look like they've been kidnapped at all.
The comfortable days seemed extraordinary, and more than ten days passed, during which Dong Zhuo also ordered someone to send a lot of books for the Sun family's mother and son to use to pass the time.
Inside the annex grounds.
Mrs. Wu's beautiful eyes swept over the young son and daughter who were playing on the side, and said softly to Sun Quan, who was flipping through the books: "Quan'er, what do you mean by Dong Zhuo." ”
"Why has it been so long, and there has not even been a message, alas, although this day is still good, it always makes people feel that they can't go up in their hearts."
Sun Quan put down the book in his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Mother don't worry, there is a way for soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, since Dong Zhuo left us and others, it is naturally because we are useful." ”
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been served for nothing."
Speaking of this, Sun Quan fiddled with the books in his hand, "I didn't expect that there would be such things in Chang'an City, it's really surprising." ”
"It's really rich that such high-quality paper is used to bind books."
What Sun Quan held in his hand was a book of "Three Character Classics" compiled by Cai Yong and Yang Biao.
Among the books sent by Dong Zhuo, only the three books "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names" are paper books, and most of the rest are still just bamboo slips.
These three books were sent along with the others, which is naturally very special.
After Sun Quan briefly flipped through it, he knew that this was a children's enlightenment book, and he hadn't seen it before, and now he had nothing to do while studying by himself, and at the same time he became an enlightenment teacher for his younger siblings.
Mrs. Wu shook her head slightly, "I've seen it in paper writing, but it's too extravagant to make books out of such good paper." ”
"Outsiders often say that Dong Zhuo is poor and extravagant, which shows that he is average."
"These three books alone, I'm afraid it's hard to find."
However, at this time, the maid on the side spoke.
"Madam, second son, the slave maid heard that this book is not expensive, not to mention that ordinary people can buy it, as long as it is a fairly solid family."
"The slave maid saw that the housekeeper in the courtyard also had such a book, and I heard him say that he was going to study it first, so that he could teach the children in his own house later."
"Oh?! Like a flower, are you serious?! Sun Quan raised an eyebrow.
Ruhua is an old man in the Sun family, and her task is to serve Mrs. Wu and take care of the little lady, and it is not easy to stay with Mrs. Wu now.
for the other maids who were also like her were gone.
Along the way, Mrs. Wu relied on Ruhua to take care of her, after all, Sun Quan was sometimes very inconvenient as a man, so Mrs. Wu did not treat her as an outsider.
Sometimes it's common to chat together and relieve boredom.
Ruhua saw Sun Quan asking, and hurriedly saluted: "Back to the second son, what the slave said is the truth, if the second son doesn't believe it, you can find Steward Zhang to ask clearly." ”
Sun Quan chuckled, "Faith is naturally believed, but there are indeed some things, this son wants to ask clearly, you go and invite Steward Zhang." ”
"Whoa." Ruhua answered and walked to the outer courtyard.
Steward Zhang is responsible for taking care of Dong Zhuo's other courtyard, and now Sun Quan and others are under the fence, even if they are in charge of affairs, they are quite polite.
After all, it's these little imps who are sometimes the ones who are tough.
However, Steward Zhang did not have any deviant actions, he has always been cautious in his work, and he served Sun Quan and others very thoughtfully.
Probably because Dong Zhuo Jiwei came, Sun Quan thought so.
After a while, Steward Zhang came to the inner courtyard, and when he saw Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan, he hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Madame, I've seen Gongzi." ”
"I don't know what the lady and the son are doing to summon the old slave."
Sun Quan waved his hand, "Steward Zhang, please hurry up, don't be polite, it's just that my son has some miscellaneous inquiries." ”
Picking up the "Three Character Classic" in his hand, Sun Quan asked: "Steward Zhang, I heard that there are a lot of books outside, but I don't know how much it costs?" ”
"This ......"
Steward Zhang hesitated for a moment and replied: "Hui Gongzi, the price is not equal, and the price of this book is different in different places. ”
"Erud?!" Sun Quan's eyes widened, buying books turned out to be more law-based!
"Hmm."
Steward Zhang nodded and said, "Yilu, each state, county, and county has different prices according to the local situation. ”
Sun Quan was surprised: "How can this be managed?!" ”
Steward Zhang shook his head, "It's not clear how the old slave is, it is said that what special area is used to buy, and the books that are said to be bought in each place have different seals on the last page." ”
"It is said that it is to prevent people from deliberately raising prices, people in Tianshui County can only buy books from Tianshui County, and Jingzhao Mansion can only buy books from Jingzhao Mansion, anyway, the management is very strict."
"If someone tries to hoard, if they are caught, it will be a dead end."
"And the old slave heard that it is under the same management of the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households, just so that Mongolian children everywhere can read the book in a short time."
Sun Quan nodded, he basically understood what Steward Zhang meant, the reason why Dong Zhuo made it so complicated was that he was afraid that some people would go to other places to buy books.
The main reason is that there should be relatively few things at present, because they are few, so they are rare, and things are rare and expensive, and people in some places are not short of money, and in the case of no shortage of money, he can't buy books, so he can only buy them elsewhere.
But if you go to other places to buy them, there will be fewer places where you have books.
This is a temporary way to curb the large purchases of those families with greater financial resources, and to prevent those poor places from having no books to read.
Of course, if there were more of these books, it wouldn't be so troublesome, and there should be no ban on buying and selling, after all, more of them are worthless, and they can be bought anywhere.
"I can't see that the imperial court attaches so much importance to it." Sun Quan sighed softly.
Speaking of this, Steward Zhang smiled and said: "The good godmaster knows, it is said that when this book came out, Dong Xiangguo once said that everyone in the world should have books to read, so that everyone should not be anxious. ”
"If someone makes trouble, then don't blame Xiangguo's subordinates for being ruthless."
"Of course, this is just a rumor."
Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, "Let all the children in the world have books to read?!" ”
Steward Zhang may not know the weight of this sentence, you must know that those who can study today are just the children of scholars.
What books do ordinary people read?!
This Dong Zhuo has a good spirit!
