After the exam, the students started a new study.

Zeng Maolin collected all the exam papers, returned to the Doctor Hall of the Five Classics, put down the exam papers, made a pot of tea for himself first, and then sat down to slowly correct the exam papers. Thinking of the student who wrote like a god, he decided to start with her, in fact, he was curious about what this person had written?

Find out the roll flattened, ready to look closely, the first sentence that catches the eye...... At the very least, you should first observe whether the blisters are fish, crab eyes, or springs.

The tea that was drunk only after "puff ......" squirted out like this, completely out of shape......

Is this cooking tea or solving the problem! Zeng Maolin's heart was 'cold' all of a sudden, how could he be embarrassed by being a teacher? In front of his respected teacher, he boasted that he would not let students delay their studies...... Now it's not a question of delay, but the student simply won't.

How will you be promoted in the future, how to score points if you don't get promoted, how to award officials without points, even if you give an official, you will be criticized for 'those who know wealth can enter the body, and do nothing without profit...... 'Isn't this really a corruption of the country's school style?

"Hey, it really hurts my brain......"

Annoyed for a long time or continue to read the volume, although the writing is too vernacular, but the meaning is still reachable, but no matter how it can be reached, it is not qualified, if it is really a test, such a volume will be dethroned first.

After seeing such a 'unqualified' paper, he was not in the mood to look at other papers in detail, so he selected and scored according to the rules of the general examination. He looked at it quickly, it's not that he wasn't serious, it was true that the overall level of Guangyetang's students was not high, except for Wang Youren's who was quite qualified, everyone else had some problems.

After quickly finishing the evaluation, he put away the papers again, and then got up and walked out of the doctor's hall to go to Si Ye's room, where he needed to hand over these papers to Si Ye for review.

As soon as the Jingyi exam was finished this month, Zeng Maolin basically had nothing to do, and after leaving the Siye Wing, he thought about it and decided to go to the library of Yilun Hall.

There are five kitchens and five shelves in the library pavilion, which respectively place the printing bookplates of the scriptures, history, children, and collections, and the Guozijian has to engrave the book plate by himself and then print it, but the scale of the North Prison is far less than that of the South Prison. Most of the engraved books are the Four Books, the Five Classics and the Twenty-one History, and they are all large tomes, and the stereotypes are generally hundreds or thousands of pieces, from the sacrificial wine to the prisoners, they will be widely involved, or they will be written, or participated in the engraving, or proofreading, or supplementing. Naturally, such a scale costs a lot, so how can there be no shortage of money.

The official carving also has a sense of commodity, but of course the sales of books cannot be compared with professional booksellers, and the channels are mostly limited to local administrative departments and Confucianism. In addition, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Qin Tianjian also engraved many books, all of which were used to subsidize the finances of their departments.

Zeng Maolin was in the red kitchen, one by one to check the stereotype of the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics", the Thirteen Classics is a very important collection of books in the country, the current set of plates is still the stereotype of the Apocalypse, it has long been decayed and seriously missing, it can no longer be repaired, it needs to be re-engraved with a new board, and it must be re-corrected and re-revised.

In fact, these jobs are not a problem, and the most problematic thing is that the funds do not come from nowhere. Just like the "Twenty-one History" engraved by Wu Shiyuan, who presided over the engraving of the sacrificial wine during the Wanli period, it was a fund given by the Ministry of Industry at that time, 60,000 gold! Now it doesn't cost 60,000 gold to re-engrave this set of thirteen scriptures, but it is also expensive.

Lu Zan has been lobbying the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry since last year, hoping that they can contribute this fund, but until now, Gu Dehai has made it clear that there is no surplus silver, and he will wait until the summer tax is over to see if there is any surplus.

Lu Zan was naturally angry in his heart, this was obviously an excuse, but he couldn't help but lick his face on the surface. Liu Yikun is even more ambiguous, even if he asks the emperor to reason, it is useless, then Zhu Zhongwei himself is a big borrower, and the money invested in the racecourse has not seen the benefits.

Zeng Maolin knew the embarrassment of the respected teacher, so he thought of Wu Yan, and was thinking about how to 'frame her' when he heard a commotion outside Yilun Hall......

He frowned, thinking to himself who was so bold and reckless that he dared to make a noise outside Yilun Hall, so he was not afraid of the whip of the prisoner?

Put down the bookboard and go out of the library pavilion, and hurriedly came to the outside of the hall, and looked at it, surprised a lot, how the donkey cart has entered the second door!

Five big donkey carts, five big black donkeys, all panting, indicate that the contents of the cart are very heavy. It was recess, and the students of five or six classes had all flocked to the bottom of the mound, pointing at the five big donkey carts.

Zeng Maolin's face sank, and he said sharply: "Who did this?" ”

No one came out for a long time, so he raised his voice again and asked, "Who?" Stand up for yourself! If only the prisoner would come and arrest him later......"

"Huh.................. My mine, my ......"

Zeng Maolin followed the prestige and saw Wu Yan hurrying from the direction of the retreat gate...... This girl? What a stage! There was a hint of anger on his face at this point.

During the recess just now, Wu Yan happened to go to the thatched house, and there was no women's thatched house in Guozi Prison, so she had to rent a separate room as a place to change clothes and wash on weekdays. The house is relatively secluded and independent, just near the retreat gate, which leads to the shooting garden, but it is a little farther away.

Wu Yan approached, looked at the five big donkey carts first, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Huh! ”

"What's going on?" Zeng Maolin asked in a cold voice with a serious expression.

Wu Yan smiled and disagreed: "The guy in this bookstore is really good!" Let them come back during their lunch break, and the result is ...... Teacher, you see, at this time, there is still such a big commotion! I'm really sorry, the student admits the punishment! I don't have to say. ”

"Bookstore? This is ......" Zeng Maolin was stunned.

"Give away books, as a member of the country, you must do your part."

Zeng Maolin understood at once......

But to understand it, this girl chooses this way, not to say that she violates the school rules, and she is not afraid of good things becoming bad things when she is so sensational? He actually drove the donkey cart into Taixue! It's simply unheard of, unseen!

The sacrificial wine and the priest came from the direction of Jingyi Pavilion at this time, the sacrificial wine trotted in front, and the priest followed behind, both of them were out of breath.

"How...... What's going on? Lu Zan asked before he could catch his breath.

Zeng Maolin didn't want to do bad things, so he first opened his mouth to explain a few words to Wu Yan, and explained what happened in three or two sentences, but people with a heart could still hear it, and he was obviously biased towards this 'perpetrator'.

Wu Yan didn't know what to do, he naturally had eyes, he took a step forward as soon as his words fell, put his hands together in front of his chest, bowed deeply to the end, and said apologetically:

"It's all the students who do bad things with good intentions, originally thinking that they would be allowed to come when there are not many people, but also to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, and the result is ...... Hey, maybe it's because the quality of the book is too good, so it's too heavy, teacher, you see, it's almost full of sweat. ”

Zeng Maolin almost didn't hold back when he heard this, what kind of apology is this? It's obviously putting gold on your face!

Lu Zan actually wants to scold people in his heart, and he is still sweating and donkeying? You'll use allusions!

"Come with me," he said a few words, then turned and walked back.

Seeing this, Si Ye hurriedly stepped forward to disperse the other students who were still gathered in one place, and asked Mr. Zhu Tang to bring all the students from his own hall back to resume classes, and then followed back himself.

Wu Yan had no choice but to follow behind the sacrificial wine and walk in the direction of Jingyi Pavilion, along with Zeng Maolin.

After entering the sacrificial wine room, Lu Zan returned to his seat and sat down, and did not continue to speak, but left the two of them aside.

Wu Yan didn't want to speak again, he only looked at the person in the seat with his eyes, and then looked at the teacher who was also standing, and just repeated the tour. On the other hand, Zeng Maolin was standing there with the old god, looking calm.

Time passed little by little, and in the quiet room, there was only the slight grinding sound of the person in the seat as he looked through the paper. He's doing it on purpose! Wu Yan thought in his heart that when dealing with those who 'make mistakes', they must first exert mental coercion, which is the consistent trick of the superiors.

After a long time, Lu Zan slowly spoke, and because he didn't speak for a long time, his voice was still a little hoarse: "The difference in the value of the book, depending on its origin, its benefit, its paper, its installation, its brush, its banknote engraving, its correctness, its fineness, the paper as its beauty and evil, the pretending as its clumsiness, the printing of its beginning and the end, the urgency of the time, and its use, the distance and the near of its generation, and its side, together with these seven, is the equal ......value of the book in the world."

Wu Yan heard it in a fog, what did this old gentleman say? In the quality of the storytelling?

Before I could reminisce, I listened to Lu Zan continue: "Compared with the value of the books in Wu, Yue, and Fujian, its value is heavy, Wu is the most, its value is light, the more is the most, and Fujian is second." ”

Oh...... It is said that where the books are the most expensive and the best, where the cheapest and the worst quality are, Wu Yan gradually tasted the meaning of the words......

"However, the value of books in the north is more expensive than that in the south, each one is the second in Wuzhong, and each is the third in Yuezhong......"

Hoy! The most expensive is still Beijing! But the old gentleman was too roundabout to speak.

"Uh...... Students just want to do their part, and nothing else. As for the cost, because of the cooperation with Jianyang Bookstore, the books are easy to come by, so donating some has little impact on the students. ”

"Really?"

"Of course! The students just heard that there are large cabinets to store books in each hall of the South Prison, but there are only a few books in our North Prison, let alone a bookcase in each classroom, so they feel very unfair. I just heard you say that the books in Beijing are more expensive than those in the south, which makes the students more convinced that today's move is meaningful, and if it is said that it violates the school rules...... Students are willing to be punished! ”

Lu Zhan didn't speak for a long time, Zeng Maolin saw this, pinched his attitude in his heart, and said in a timely manner: "Wu Yan did violate the school rules first, but he ...... The disciple felt that it was excusable, and what she said was also the truth, so he hoped that the Venerable Master would consider it at his discretion. ”

Lu Zan lowered his eyes slightly, as if his attention was on the roll of paper on the desk. After a long time, he said, "That's the case...... This time, the old man can not be investigated, but if there is any more violation, then the only way to solve it is to ask Yan Sizhen to go to the rope hall. ”

"Don't dare, there will never be a next time!" Wu Yan thought to himself, Hao, this is simply challenging the school rules with his own life.

Wu Yan was lucky to leave the sacrificial wine room, and he was all bearded and tailed.

The two people who remained in the room, one was sitting and the other was still standing, and the one who was sitting looked at the roll on the desk and looked at it so carefully that he seemed to forget that there was another person standing.

Zeng Maolin felt uncomfortable with such an atmosphere, but he knew his teacher...... It's angry.

He felt that he should say something, so he spoke: "The disciple wants to get some ...... from His Majesty through her."

"Boshi," Lu Zan suddenly interrupted, and then let out a long sigh: "She...... What are the requirements? ”

That sigh made Zeng Maolin feel a little uncomfortable and a little wronged...... The discomfort is oneself, and the grievance is the teacher.

"She's just going to change to a chef......"

Zeng Maolin left the sacrificial wine room, and Lu Zan was the only one left in the room, he was still looking at the scroll of paper, and there were words on the scroll, the first line was: I want to know if the earth is round......

The two fingers of his left hand were tapping on the desk regularly, making a 'click' sound.

At this time, Lu Zan gradually had an idea in his mind......
