Chapter 40 Lang Huan Library
"One hundred thousand volumes!" Cai Yong was stunned.
"It's just 100,000 volumes, it's nothing!" Liu Xiu said lightly.
Each volume of bamboo slips is less than 500 words, and 100,000 volumes are only 50 million words, which is really nothing.
Ten thousand books in the Han Dynasty are enough to open a library.
Five cars of learning and five cars of bamboo slips seem to be many, but in fact they are not much, but they are 700,000 words.
Read a hundred volumes, for erudition.
In the Hereafter, it will be too little.
"Three days later, please come to Langhuan Library!"
Liu Xiu invited.
…………
A month later, Lang Huan Bookstore became famous all over the world.
Langhuan Library, low-key and introverted, only for a month, shocked Luoyang City.
Lang Huan, the place where the Emperor of Heaven hid books.
The library is simple, antique, elegant and compelling, and the rosewood is made into rows of bookshelves to place hundreds of books. The book is not a bamboo slip, but a piece of Caihou paper...... Compared with Caihou paper, it is whiter, like beautiful jade.
The bookshelf is divided into nine disciplines, including scriptures, law, hundred crafts, agriculture, mountains and seas, the art of war, Qimen, and arithmetic, which record the learning of a hundred schools.
The paper, as thin as a cicada's wings, white in color, is engraved on it with ancient characters, neat to the extreme, not written vertically, but horizontally, and punctuated sentences.
Pulling out a book from the shelf, Cao Cao flipped through it, this book was "The Art of War".
In the past, twenty-five bundles of bamboo slips were needed; But now, it's just a thin book, less than 20 pages, and it's easy to reach.
The bookshelf has "Liutao", "Wu Qi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Wei Xuanzi" and so on, all of which are thin books and are all recorded.
"The great plan of the husband and the earth, three years of ploughing and more than one year of food, nine years of livestock and three years, eighteen years of accumulation and six years, twenty-seven years of storage; Although the drought disaster has been devastated, the people are not poor and have gone into exile. Therefore, the country has no animals for nine years, which is insufficient; Without the accumulation of six years, it is said to be compassionate and urgent; If there is no animal for three years, it is said to be poor. Therefore, there is a benevolent king, who takes it down in a temperate manner, and has a degree of self-nourishment, so that he has to bear the heavens and the earth, and not leave the trouble of hunger and cold. If the greedy tyrant scratches under him, invades his people, and adapts his infinite desires, then the people will not be able to be reconciled by heaven and earth. ”
"If a family does not have three years of accumulation, it is difficult to become a family; Without nine years of accumulation, it is difficult for a country to become a country! ”
Langhuan Library has a large collection of books, far exceeding 100,000 volumes.
What the Cao family can find, there are also here; What the Cao family doesn't have, you can also find it here.
In the center of the stack, there are tables and chairs where you can sit and read.
Suddenly, Cao Cao saw an acquaintance, who was long and beautiful, with a mighty walk, and a heroic hero, who was Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are all studying in Taixue, and their relationship with each other is good.
After saying hello, they sat down and flipped through their books.
Yuan Shao held the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and said: "This is tea, produced in the land of Sanwu, a specialty of Langhuan Academy, made through eighteen procedures, suitable for scholars!" ”
Pouring down the tea, Cao Cao also took a sip, the taste was light, and he cried slightly, but the aftertaste was endless.
After just one sip, I fell in love with the tea.
Two hours later, Cao Cao got up and said, "Can I sell books here?" How much does it cost? ”
"If you want to buy it, you can go to the second floor, where there is a collector's edition, which is suitable for the status of a nobleman!" The clerk said.
People are divided into ranks, commoners, poor families, and scholars. And the books also follow the level, the ordinary edition, the essence edition, and the collector's edition, respectively for the commoners, the poor, the scholars, etc. The price of the regular version is very cheap, almost the price of cabbage; But the essence version is expensive; As for the Collector's Edition, that's the Heavenly Tier. Collector's edition, there are still a lot of sales, and there is no shortage of rich people in the Han Dynasty.
In the end, Cao Cao bought a bookbox, about a hundred books, which cost a lot.
It was only opened for one month, and the business was booming, selling the most books and the art of war, followed by Legalism and Confucianism.
…………
"Lord, 4,000 copies of the regular edition were sold, 3,000 copies of the Essence Edition, and more than 5,000 copies of the Collector's Edition...... Revenue ......"
Jian Yong introduced the situation of Langhuan's library.
Liu Xiu listened, and his heart was dumbfounded.
There was no shortage of rich people in the Han Dynasty, and the collector's edition sold so much.
With Langhuan Bookstore as the center, all the nearby land houses were bought, and restaurants, tea estates and so on were opened. Selling books is just a small head, and tea catering is a big head. It's like KFC doesn't make money by selling hamburgers, but by land.
With Cai Yong and Lu Zhi as the backstage, Liu Xiufang was able to open Langhuan Library. Otherwise, there would be no bones left that had been eaten by some people a long time ago.
It doesn't matter how much earning power you have; The size of the backstage is the most important.
There is no backstage, that is, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty; There is a backstage, and it is a matter of course.
Under the recommendation of Cai Yong, Liu Xiu entered Taixue.
There are as many as 30,000 students, mainly self-taught.
Doctoral teaching, mainly large lectures, the number of attendees varies, the maximum number of people can reach 1,000, but there are also small classroom teaching.
Yuan Shao is a student, Cao Cao is a student, Liu Biao is a student, and most of the military generals in the Three Kingdoms era are from Taixue.
Here I got acquainted with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, got acquainted with a large number of Tianjiao in the future, and established a wide range of contacts.
If you want to succeed, you must have wisdom and hard work, and it depends on who you are with, and you are destined to be extraordinary if you are in the company of Tianjiao talents, and people who mix with small people all day long are destined to succeed.
Then, there is envy, jealousy and hatred, Cao Cao has a good father, and Yuan Shao has a deep background, no wonder they will succeed.
Your family has been a poor peasant for eight lifetimes, and when you finally went to college, Lao Wang's child next door was small with you, Lao Wang was a cadre at or above the deputy ministerial level, and Lao Wang's son also went to college.
Ten years later, you are still struggling to repay the mortgage, and it is very questionable whether you can even keep your position in the middle class. One day, you saw on TV that Lao Wang's son was already a department-level cadre.
Do you think it's strange? Not surprising at all.
Lao Tzu is a hero, his background is different from yours, and the starting line is different. It's the same marathon, you start from scratch, and people are already waiting for you halfway. Because your father didn't run for you, and his father had already run for his son for most of the distance, and the son just ran for him.
In later generations, there are imperial examinations, college entrance examinations, relatively fair competition, although people have the money to attend various tutorial classes, you have no money and can only drink pickles and boiled water to brush the questions with cold steamed buns, but everyone is equal in front of the scores, so as long as you have good talent, plus you are desperate the day after tomorrow, you can still go up a little bit and run for your son.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was different, and the Eastern Han Dynasty still paid attention to the society of birth. You have been a poor peasant for eight lifetimes, what university did you go to? University is something that people like you can go to, if you want to go to college, you have to have a family history, and you have to keep the world, your father is a county gongcao, and you have a great chance of being a county gongcao. Your father is a county guard, so you have a good chance of being a 2,000 stone. The fourth generation and third duke of your family, then you don't have to worry, no matter how mediocre your qualifications are, as long as you are not too stupid, you can mix with the third duke sooner or later.
…………
Freedom to go to class, freedom to leave class, taking advantage of freedom, Liu Xiu continued to do business in front of Zigong, blue and white porcelain, coal, silk, horse sales, etc., and even salt and iron business. The Western Han Dynasty salt and iron official camp, but the Eastern Han Dynasty only levied taxes.
In 184 AD, the Yellow Turbans revolted.
"The world is in chaos, and business can't be done!" Liu Xiu sighed and said, the most taboo in business is war, and when the war comes out, it is impossible to do business.
