A.D. 180, April of the third year of Han Guanghe.

Shanyin County, Huiji County, Yangzhou.

Dongye in the south is in chaos, but here in San'in is still calm and normal, the farmers are busy with farming, the craftsmen are busy making utensils, and the merchants are busy making profits, and it is not affected on the surface.

It's just that I heard that the county guard Nie Zhen hurriedly went out of the house to quell the chaos......

Chen Wentian walked in the city and passed by a small wine shop, and heard the drinkers inside talking about the matter, and a group of people rubbing "melons" gathered around to listen with relish.

Hearing the exaggerated nonsense of a drinker, he smiled helplessly, and secretly sighed that the truth was only in the control of a few people......

Thanks to hugging Longwei Mansion's thighs, Chen Wentian is very clear about the real situation of Dongye.

Now Ban Yong has taken the elite to block the information of the entire Dongye, and Nie Zhen has gathered the county officials from the surrounding counties on the grounds that the war is tight, and is personally leading them to Dongye County to help.

The county soldiers who were secretly controlled by the four major families of Huiji have been purged by him, and now it is the turn of these county soldiers who have been corrupted by the county warriors!

The military strength of the entire Huiji County was exhausted for a while, and Nie Zhen took advantage of the situation to leave the county to ask for a new army, and these new troops would be handed over to his newly promoted general, Captain Wang Hui, for intensive training.

Wang Hui is naturally also a young general in Longwei Mansion, following Nie Zhen.

After this operation, Nie Zhen logically "washed" all the military forces of the generals into the color of Longwei Mansion.

Next, it is to "train" the Yue people and gradually purge the scholars of Huiji, and by the way, they can also get some military merits and send them to the imperial court to stabilize their position as a county guard.

Thinking of this, Chen Wentian sighed slightly, and admired Nie Zhen's strategic planning.

If his plan succeeds, Longwei Mansion will not only be able to quietly control Huiji County, but also obtain tens of thousands of elite Yue people's foot soldiers, and at the same time eliminate the huge hidden dangers that Huiji County has hidden in the mountains and forests for many years.

Seeing that these future competitors were developing so rapidly, Chen Wentian couldn't wait to do something......

But now he really has nothing to do but wait, he can only find some rare books left by each family everywhere and buy them to take back to Juxianzhuang.

As for others, it is almost impossible to find talents, recruit talented people, or other things that can help the development of Juxianzhuang.

After all, there are still more than a dozen people from Longwei Mansion staring at them at any time, they will definitely not stop them from doing these things now, but they will definitely report it to Ouyang Qi, and it will be self-defeating to arouse his suspicion at that time......

There is only an excuse to buy books to bring back, and he mentioned to Ouyang Qi when he left Yizhou that he needed to bring the books and documents of this era back to modern research.

Of course, the only authentic books in the collection of each family must not be bought, these books are the scriptures they are proud of, let alone selling, outsiders are not allowed to copy them.

What's more, even if they are willing to sell, Chen Wentian can't afford it.

Although Nie Zhen explained that the mansion tried his best to meet his needs, he couldn't open the books that often required tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars......

So Chen Wentian could only settle for the next best thing, choosing the kind of ordinary books or excerpts that only cost a few thousand yuan.

As long as there are enough of these books, plus some excerpts from a few unique books, they are precious, and even if they are shipped to Donglai and sold, they can be exchanged for a lot of money with a lot of price difference!

In order to get more benefits, Chen Wentian can only work hard as a "porter......

For this reason, he has already gone to Shangyu County, and is ready to go to Yuji County, and even Yuhang, Qiantang, Fuchun and other places in Wu County.

When he came back, he heard from the county keeper that the excerpts of some children of the Yang clan in the north of the city had promised to be sold, and Chen Wentian was naturally happy to go.

He took full advantage of Nie Zhen's lack of knowing his details, and asked several stewards in the mansion to run errands around for himself under the banner of Nie Zhen.

After contacting the seller, I took the money in the house to buy it......

The key is that the whole house, including Nie Zhen, didn't dare to say anything about it, not to mention that Nie Zhen was out of the city now!

————

Soon, Chen Wentian and others came to the Yang Mansion.

With the face of the county guard, the scholars of Shanyin were naturally polite, and when they saw Chen Wentian hugging him, they thought it was a big man in the mansion, and they didn't dare to slack off......

The Yang family in the north of the city claimed to be a distant relative of the Hongnong Yang family, and it was a third-rate family in Shanyin City, and the head of the family, Yang Qi, personally received Chen Wentian and his party.

"Ask Tianxi to be outspoken, and ask Yang Gong for forgiveness, I wonder if I can order someone to take a look at the bookable book?"

But Chen Wentian didn't want to waste his words with him, so he went straight to the point after a little greeting.

"It's so self-serving, come here, bring up the book for Lord Chen to read."

Yang Qi naturally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to do the same.

After a while, the books in the main hall of the Yang family were piled up with several tables.

Although Chen Wentian has a big head to settle the bill, he doesn't dare to squeeze too much, all the books must be carefully selected, and the duplicate ones that are not of high value are not allowed.

It's just that the project is still a bit complicated, and he took out a notepad and compared it while flipping through it, which recorded the list of books he had purchased.

This is another benefit of the support of Longwei Mansion, where there are almost no restrictions on the use of paper.

Chen Wentian guessed that the paper industry in Longwei Mansion was already very mature and developed, and the scale was not small, otherwise it would never be possible to do so much.

Of course, he didn't forget to be cheeky and ask Ouyang Qi to send some more, after all, he traveled through the late Han Dynasty to do research, and there were many things that needed to be recorded......

Shang Qing was very skilled in doing auxiliary work on the side, helping Chen Wentian do the first round of screening.

Although she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she is from a scholar family, and she has read some books, so it is not difficult to do.

Seeing Chen Wentian buying so many books, she thought that Chen Wentian really liked to read, and she was very serious when screening, and when she was not sure, she handed it over to Chen Wentian from time to time to decide.

And Xiao Shang Ke obviously didn't have much interest in these boring books, and followed excitedly all the way, and fell asleep with a roll of bamboo slips after a while......

Yang Qi couldn't interject at all on the side, and Chen Wentian politely refused to ask for help several times, so he had to wait patiently on the side.

Maybe the Yang clan in the north of the city is really a branch of the Hongnong Yang clan as they say, so the number and quality of the scrolls are not bad, and it took Chen Wentian and Shang Qing two hours to complete the screening.

"Yang Gong's mansion is indeed worthy of the name of the crown family, and the scriptures are so profound that it is an eye-opener for Wentian, but I don't know how much these books are worth, and I ask Yang Gong to make it clear."

Chen Wentian got a lot of good goods, and he was in a beautiful mood, which was a compliment.

I didn't expect that this Yang family still has some medical books written by unknown doctors, this is a treasure!

"Where and where, adults don't dare to praise it, these books are all excerpts and are not worth a few dollars, adults just take them, don't be polite."

Because the guards pretending to be the task force were silent when they entered the mansion, Yang Qi only knew that Chen Wentian was an important person in the county guard's mansion until now, and as for what official position he was, he didn't know what his relationship with Nie Zhen was, so he could only be called an adult.

However, he saw that Chen Wentian was young and light, but his posture and tone were not small, and the more mysterious he was, he was afraid that his status was not low, so he wanted to be a lover and make friends.

"No, I said that I would come to buy it by asking the sky, if Yang Gong really gave it to me, wouldn't it ruin the name of Nie Fujun?"

Chen Wentian knew that Yang Qi did not take out the treasured books in the house, and even if he really didn't give money, he wouldn't feel distressed, but he still had to do enough work on the surface.

At least the "guards" can't be suspicious, and they don't spend their own money anyway......

The two sides went back and forth politely for a long time, and Chen Wentian finally insisted on buying all the books at a price of 20,000 yuan.

He can make a lot of money at this price, and if these books are sold in the market, they can easily be sold for more than 100,000 yuan even if they are discounted......

"Yang Gong is so bold, when the prince comes back, he will tell Yang Gong of his friendship when he asks the sky."

"Thank you, my lord, but there is still something unknown about the old decay, and I don't know ...... adults."

"Yang Gong can say it bluntly, if you ask God to know, you should tell you."

"I don't know how the Dongye war is, when will the Yu family master and the prince of the mansion be able to return ......?"
