Chapter 215: Another Method
The gentlemen were not impatient with Tuofei's question, but looked at Tuofei and smiled softly, confident in the value of the book.
The man looked at Tuofei and said, "I can see that you have just come to the Hanlin Academy, so you can bring a book casually." β
The man's request was strange, but Tuofei didn't think much of it, and since he did, he took out a copy and handed it to the gentleman at the registration office.
The man took the book, casually flipped through a page, and then unfolded it for Lintian and Tuofei to see.
Lin Tian and Tuofei looked down, and the book, except for the text, was densely packed with small characters, as if it was the annotation on it, or someone's feelings after reading it.
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, the man nodded slightly, and then pointed to the side of the small print, on which were written a few smaller words, but it could be seen that this was a signature.
This is very strange, the books in the general library are not allowed to be scribbled on them, but for some reason the books of the Hanlin Academy are like this.
Lintian's face was calm, and he looked at the name on it carefully, until he saw it clearly, and his heart suddenly shook.
"Could it be that this is ......" Lin Tian's words were only halfway said, and then stopped.
However, Tuofei was a little puzzled, "What is it, don't say half of it." "Tuofei was a little anxious.
The gentleman smiled and nodded, "It seems that you have already seen it, that's right, these books in our Hanlin Academy have annotations from our predecessors of different generations. β
The man continued: "There are countless people who have gone out of the Hanlin Academy, and these people have also studied in the study building, and they have summarized the things. It is even more precious. And these summarize things. And they were all written in these books. What you see at this moment may be written by a former protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. β
"The books of the Hanlin Academy, the chapters of the saints, and the scholarly texts are complex and numerous, but these are more expensive than their precious value. It is the summary of the first people's reading, and the more annotations written by people with excellent literary qualifications, the more expensive the book is, because the value here is immeasurable. β
"The annotations above are the crystallization of their summary, the books you have selected are just ordinary books, you can imagine what the price of those saint chapters upstairs will be. And the people who can write annotations to the chapters of the saints, you think. What kind of Wen Xiu will he be?"
The man explained a lot, and the last sentence was very shocking.
That's right, the sage's chapter contains the truth of the Great Dao, and if such an article can be annotated, then the person's realm must at least be the same realm.
On the other hand, in other words, the books in this book are not only superficial value, if you can learn from the summary and crystallization of the predecessors, then this price is not wrong.
Speaking of which, Lintian finally understood the value of these books.
Tuofei is not a fool, and naturally he can understand the value of this, and at this moment he finally stopped being impatient and calmed down.
Tuofei looked at the books behind him, then at the gentleman in front of him, and suddenly his expression changed to flattery.
"Well, this hehe, sir, look, I know the value of these books, but we really don't have that much money now, you see if this will work, I have about seventy or eighty thousand taels here, and the rest of the money is owed first, I will go back and say to my father, can you make up for it." β
"No!" Mr.'s expression suddenly became stingy, and he squinted at Takuffy.
"If you don't have money, then don't borrow books, we don't have IOUs here, you can borrow as many books as you can afford to pay!" replied Mr. Seowon firmly.
At this time, Tuofei and Lintian suddenly became distressed, and after listening to the introduction of the books in the library, the two wanted to borrow these books even more, but they didn't have so much money.
I'm afraid I can only borrow half of Tuofei's seventy or eighty thousand taels, but if I want to borrow again after that, I won't have any money.
Faced with such a problem, he was very distressed, and Tuofei's face was also a little red, this was the first time in his life that he faced a scene of insufficient money.
Lin Tian looked at the registered person and said, "I don't know what other rules the book building has besides spending money to borrow books?"
After Lintian asked, Tuofei's eyes on the side suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and before the person could answer, he hurriedly took the lead.
"Yes, yes, if you don't have any money, how about exchanging it for something else? For example, the national fortune poem? Hahaha, I can tell you, the one next to me is a famous national fortune poem! How about it, if I give you a few original manuscripts of the national fortune poem, it should always be worth some silver taels, right?"
Lintian looked at Rang Tuofei helplessly, was he sold like this? It's really unkind, a lot of big words, and in the end he has to come by himself.
But what Tuofei said was right, this is also the meaning of Lintian's question, but he didn't want to talk about the national fortune poem, and the general famous poem seems to be able to exchange some money, but he doesn't know the price.
After listening to Lintian and Tuofei's words, the man's eyes lit up, "Oh. It turns out that you are the Lintian of the Nine Heavens Dragon?"
"It's the juniors. Lintian replied respectfully.
"Well, if you say that, your proposal is not impossible, but the price of your poems needs to be evaluated, and not all poems can be exchanged for money. β
"What kind of poems can be read in different books, then?" asked Lintian.
Mr. smiled, "General poems, to be honest, we really don't look down on them here, after all, this is the Hanlin Academy, except for the Chopping Fortune Poems, some other poems in the realm of fame are not enough to see, but the National Fortune Poems are exceptions, hehe, if it is the original manuscript of the Nine Heavens Dragon Yin, I can consider giving you more books to borrow." β
It turned out that this gentleman was aiming at the Nine Sky Dragons in the sky from the beginning. But it's a pity that even if Lintian wants to give it, he doesn't have it in his hands at the moment.
One was given to Miss Feng'er, one was given to Xuande, and one was given to Zhao Ruoyu.
But the younger generation does not have such an original manuscript of poetry on his body at the moment, and I don't know if there are other possibilities. Lintian asked.
"Isn't it?" the gentleman looked at Lintian and smiled after a while.
"No, it doesn't matter, isn't it over if you write a poem on the spot? How about it, I don't embarrass you, if you can write a poem about the national fortune and send it to the Hanlin Academy Library for collection, I will make an exception and give you a discount, a poem of the national fortune, plus his 80,000 taels of gold, these books, let you read them for a month!"
After the gentleman finished speaking, the audience was silent, and everyone paid attention.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened a long time ago, because it is too expensive to borrow books here, let alone some of the saint chapters upstairs.
So a lot of times, the academy gives some other rules, which is to give those who are talented a shortcut.
That is, by virtue of the value of his own poems, in exchange for corresponding books. But it's hard, it's really hard.
Even if it is a national fortune poem, although it is precious, it can only be changed once, and from ancient times to the present, no one can exchange the national fortune poem for a book every time.
Lin Tian looked at Mr. without any hesitation, "Okay, then use the national fortune poem 'to offset the remaining silver taels'!" (to be continued.) )
