Chapter 3 Dongguan [II]

Zhang Han's idea of copying books has been around for a long time. The people of Ruoyang are dead and can be reborn; The city burned down and could be rebuilt; And many of the books in the Dongguan collection are solitary secret collections, burned down, and then there are no more.

However, this is not so easy to do. The key, as Zhang Rang said, is the word "money". Zhang Zhao had no problem copying books, and allowed Zhang Han to use the manpower of his family, and also provided a large sum of money. However, this defense is also relative. 10 million is a lot, enough to pick one from three kilometers to buy. But if you go up and down, it will not be easy to bribe Emperor Ling, and you will have manpower, but these people always have to eat and dress, copy books always need pen and ink, and there are other expenses of all kinds, so Zhang Han has to pay for it himself. Zhang Han has made a lot of money in the past two years, Zhang Zhao knows that he has a lot of money, and Zhang Han can't call it poor if he wants to.

Emperor Ling is a young man of medium stature, in his early twenties, his face is thick and powdered, white like a wall, he can't see his face clearly, but his eyes are dark, his eyes are blank, and his voice is lacking.

Originally, a petty official like Yilang with 600 stones was a very ordinary new official, Zhang Han only needed to go to the West Garden to pay a fee of two million yuan, and Emperor Ling did not have to go out in person. However, the matter was related to another transaction, and on a whim, Emperor Ling reluctantly prepared a simple ceremony in the West Garden.

The price has been negotiated in advance, Zhang Han is as polite as a ceremony, Emperor Ling Wen encouraged two words, Zhang Han offered 10 million, and the matter was finished.

However, Zhang Damu told him to be careful in the future. When watching the ceremony, Zhang Han was full of spirit and heroic, and Emperor Ling suddenly felt that his royal library card was cheap, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Rang regretfully, "It's a pity, I heard that Zhang's family is quite rich, and he should be sold for 10 million yuan!" "—meaning, this time it was sold for two million dollars.

When Zhang Rang heard this, he hurriedly said, "He can give 10 million, which is already very good." According to his position, even if he doesn't spend money, he can borrow a part of the books, but fortunately he doesn't know about it, otherwise, how could he pay to buy it? Your Majesty, you don't know how much work I've done out of it! ”

This is all drunken gossip, Zhang Han couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it. Emperor Ling, the chairman of the Han family business, is indifferent to the situation of the company, but only cares about receiving kickbacks, and he really has a character.

"Well, yes, dig a ditch here, the ditch should be zigzag, and then plant aquatic plants......"

Zhang Tong and the newly bought Zhuangzi fit Zhang Han's mind very well, went out of Xiyang Gate, and walked north on the four-mile road, and Zhuangzi was on the edge of the Yang Canal. Just use the canal water to build a paper-making workshop and copy a large number of books in Dongguan, which requires a large amount of paper and ink, all of which are spent on buying, and Zhang Han can't afford it.

Zhang Tonghe has already said that the money for buying Zhuangzi will be forgotten, and the expenses in the village will be solved by Zhang Han himself in the future. Holding the letter from the old lady Zhang Zhao, Zhang Tonghe put on a 'I don't want to either', and Zhang Han couldn't blame him - Zhang Tonghe took Zhuangzi money from the restaurant, which was already giving him face. has no money in his hand, and when he gets things done, Zhang Han can only make careful calculations.

Leveling the land, repairing roads, and building houses, Zhang Han soaked in Yangyin Village whenever he had time, so he naturally had less contact with the outside world. Lu Zhi took him to several banquets, and each time Zhang Han took Zhang Chao with him, and met some well-known people by the way. Zhang Han pursued the principle of keeping a low profile and did not interact too much with these people. In Luoyang, Zhang Han is just a passerby, just a familiar face, he just wants to finish things and leave quickly. In Zhang Han's view, the celebrities and adults in Luoyang have many signs of death, so they don't need to think about it. It's better to let Zhang Chao know more people, and in the future, it will be up and down in Luoyang, and it will all depend on him.

"Yangyin Village, Yangyin Village, Seventeen, whose name is this?"

"The south of the mountain and the north of the water are the yang; The north of the mountain and the south of the water are yin. Yangyin Village is located in the south of Yangqu, so I will call it Yangyin Village, how about it? Not bad, right? ”

"......" Wu Ziwan's face was really yours, which made Zhang Han very uncomfortable.

"What? What's wrong? Zhang Han's tone was vicious.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that...... It's just awkward! This naturally couldn't scare Wu Ziwan, he stretched out his voice and explained slowly.

"Heh~, just get used to it! Just get used to it! ”

Zhang Han laughed dryly, and said that it had nothing to do with me if it was awkward. Wu Zifang came to Luoyang in early March of the second year of Zhongping (179), Wu Zifang spent the New Year at home, and was about to return to the border county, when he received a letter from Zhang Han. Zhang Han couldn't rest assured of his safety, so he let him come to Luoyang with the papermaking craftsmen. There are not many people from Zhang Han's family, and most of them are craftsmen in the papermaking workshop. There are too many places for the Zhang family to employ people, and it is not as convenient to recruit people from home as in Taixue. There are tens of thousands of old and young students in the Taixue of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Chaoyi said that he copied books from Dongguan, and those who should gather - Dongguan, in the past, only the close ministers of the Son of Heaven were able to enter and study, and now there is an opportunity, and he is actively responding. Some students don't even pay for it, as long as they are allowed to keep some of the copied books. Soon, Zhang Chao gathered more than 300 Tai students and began to copy books.

Zhang Han stayed in Yangyin Village all day, but he just had a problem with Lu Zhi and used it as an excuse. At this time, he handed over Zhuangzi to Zhang Chao, and he easily accompanied Wu Ziwan to play in Luoyang. To be honest, Zhang Han is also very interested in the antique Luoyang. However, a major event occurred in the Great Han Kingdom in April - the tengu swallowing the sun, that is, the solar eclipse!

Zhang Han naturally knows that this is a natural phenomenon, the moon is blocking the sun, and people can't see the sun anymore. However, the people of the Han Kingdom have another set of sayings, believing that the solar eclipse is a manifestation of the wrath of the heavens, that someone has done something bad, and God is angry. This is also the usual means used by Dong Zhongshu to restrict imperial power after the yin and yang of Confucianism. However, the emperors felt that this matter was very troublesome, so someone came up with an idea and put the responsibility for the immorality on the head of the three dukes. Every time there is a disaster, the emperor's responsibility is not great, mainly because of the dereliction of duty of the three dukes. In other words, the role of the three princes now is to act as the emperor's scapegoat.

This solar eclipse was also common, but the problem was that the eunuchs were rampant as soon as they gained power, and they suppressed the scholars and doctors too much. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. So, when given the opportunity, the scholars began to bounce back. The soldiers, who were holding back their anger, took the opportunity to attack the eunuchs, saying that their perverse actions had caused the wrath of God, and impeachment flew like snowflakes. Throughout the ages, eunuchs have never stood on the highest moral ground—and they themselves know this. Thousands of years later, scholars and doctors often used this as an excuse.

Zhang Han naturally will not be involved in this matter. The eunuchs will also dominate the court for a long time, and it is extremely unwise to offend the eunuchs. But the eunuchs were eventually defeated, and it was not appropriate to go into battle barearm and stand on the side of the eunuchs. Zhang Han's situation was a little embarrassing, so he asked for personal leave.

Zhang Han didn't have much to do, and his main responsibility was to continue to supplement the "Han Chronicles" in Dongguan. In all dynasties, the compilation of history books is a major event, and the people who can participate are all famous scholars, and Cen Hui may not be qualified, let alone Zhang Han. Therefore, Zhang Han was not treated well in Dongguan, and it was very easy to ask for leave.

In this way, Zhang Han stayed out of the matter and concentrated on accompanying Wu Zifang to play around. On this day, the two came to Ping Optimistic.
