Chapter 700: Zhang Cang
When the Qin State launched the War of Destruction, the Imperial History Mansion began to expand on a large scale to collect historical books, classics, and various legal documents looted from the Six Kingdoms, in an effort to become the largest library in the world.
"The subordinate Yu Shi Zhongcheng Ganquan, meet the martial arts marquis."
Yu Shi Zhongcheng, who was in charge of the books and classics, was already waiting outside the hiding room.
Today's Zhao Tuo is wearing a deep coat of regular clothes, but this imperial historian has seen Zhao Tuo in the court, so he naturally recognized the identity of the martial arts marquis at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him and bowed.
"Gan Zhongcheng doesn't need to be polite."
Zhao Tuo waved his hand, this Ganquan should be from a big family, maybe it is related to the former Qin State famous ministers Gan Long, Gan Mao, and Gan Luo.
Seeing the kind attitude of the martial arts marquis, Ganquan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a shy face: "I don't know what kind of classics the prince is here to see, I should personally take them for the prince." ”
Zhao Tuo opened the door directly and entered the mountain: "This trip is only to find people, I don't know if Zhang Cang is under the pillar?" ”
Yu Shi Zhongcheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." I immediately asked people to call Zhuxia Shi to come and meet the prince. ”
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "No need, you lead the way, I'll go find him." ”
Yu Shi Zhongcheng was stunned, he didn't expect the dignified martial arts marquis to care so much about Zhang Cang.
However, thinking of Zhang Cang's appearance, he was puzzled: "The status of the prince is so noble, why do you need to work for a pillar, and the subordinate will personally invite Zhang Cang to see the prince." ”
Han Xin saw that Zhao Tuo's face was unhappy, and said: "This Zhongcheng, the prince asked you to lead the way, and you led the way, needless to say." ”
Gan Quan saw that the young man who spoke was not dressed like a slave, and thought that he was a close confidant of Gonggong Hou, and saw that Wu Gonghou was indeed frowning.
He didn't dare to offend, so he could only respond: "The prince and the prince still ask the officials to come, but Zhang Cang has always been a little indecent, and please don't blame the prince when he sees it." ”
Not elegant?
Zhao Tuo waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and became curious.
But Han Xin next to him was excited as he walked.
This is the middle of the imperial history!
was actually beaten by himself just now, and the other party was not only not angry, but also accused and led the way.
Han Xin is the age of young people's enthusiasm, and now he is in the limelight with the power of the fox and the fake tiger, and his heart is trembling with excitement.
Once again, he tasted the benefits of having a big backer.
Zhao Tuo and Han Xin followed Yu Shi Zhongcheng through the corridor, and after a while, they came to a door where classic books and documents were stacked.
"Where is Shi Zhang Cang under the column? Martial Arts ......"
Ganquan opened his mouth and was about to call Zhang Cang in the house to come out to pay a visit, but was stopped by Zhao Tuo waving his hand.
When he came this time, he didn't want to be majestic in front of Zhang Cang, but wanted to be good friends with the other party, so naturally he wouldn't do such a thing that called for him.
Zhao Tuo walked in directly with Han Xin, looked at the side of the case, and was immediately shocked.
"That's a big ball."
Han Xin swallowed his saliva and secretly exclaimed in his heart.
Zhao Tuo's eyelids also jumped, full of surprise.
Because what appeared in front of him was a mountain of meat.
When the people in the house heard the sound outside, they just turned around and took a look at Zhao Tuo.
I saw that this person was huge, and his waist circumference alone was as thick as two Zhao Tuo.
A face is white and chubby, with narrow facial features.
The placket of his black robe was pulled open, and inside was white flesh soaked with sweat, and according to Zhao Tuo's observation, his skin was even smoother and fairer than a woman's.
In this era when most people can't get enough to eat, a tall, big, white and fat big fat man is really very rare.
This is probably the so-called "blessed phase".
Zhao Tuo sighed secretly in his heart.
"Zhuxia Shi, this is the Marquis of Martial Arts, and I came to see you on purpose."
Yu Shi Zhongcheng saw Zhang Cang's disheveled appearance, and secretly said that this was the case, while introducing Zhao Tuo's identity to Zhang Cang, he explained to the Marquis of Wugong: "Junhou, because it is summer at this time, and the house is hot, so it is inevitable that the history of the pillar will be rude." ”
Zhao Tuo suddenly understood.
In these years, there are no cooling artifacts such as air conditioners and fans, and in the hot summer, in the face of the stuffy heat in the house, most Qin people can only choose to carry it hard.
A fat man like Zhang Cang is even more heat-resistant, and he will sweat just by sitting for a while, and he needs to untie his clothes to dissipate heat, which is what Cheng said in the imperial history is indecent.
No wonder Ganquan said before that he wanted to call someone to shout, thinking that he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhang Cang to tidy up his clothes.
Zhao Tuo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, compared to the military, these are trivial matters." ”
At this time, Zhang Cang also reacted, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and at the same time moved his huge body and walked over, bowed to Zhao Tuo with difficulty, and said, "The subordinate Zhang Cang has seen the prince. ”
"There is no need to be polite under the pillar."
Zhao Tuo stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him up.
Touching Zhang Cang's soft body, a strange light flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes.
According to the ridicule of later generations, it was he Zhao Tuo and Zhang Cang who colluded with the imperial doctor Xia Wuhe, and the three of them secretly took Qin Shihuang's elixir of immortality, so all three of them lived for more than 100 years.
ridicule is ridicule, but Zhang Cang in front of him is indeed a strong man who can live to be 100 years old.
In addition to his age, he is also proficient in arithmetic calculations, literature and legal calendars, and is a rare talent in the world, and he is a figure who has been the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in history.
The reason why Zhao Tuo knew that Zhang Cang was in the collection room of the Imperial History Mansion was that Li Shiqi had come here to borrow books and read before, chatted with Zhang Cang, and found that this person was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he recommended it to Zhao Tuo after going back.
It's just that Zhao Tuo was busy at that time, and then he went to war, and he forgot about this stubble when he came and went.
Compared with Cheng Ganquan's nervousness and restraint in the imperial history, this Zhang Cang is worthy of being a disciple of Xunzi and the little junior brother of Tingwei Li Si, with a very good attitude.
He faced Zhao Tuo, the marquis of martial arts, and behaved generously and cheerfully, and after a salute, he even joked to Zhao Tuo: "Junhou, Junhou, the paper you made is really a good thing, but it's a pity that the invention is late, every time I think of this, it makes me sigh." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Zhao Tuo asked curiously, it was the first time he had heard someone say this.
Zhang Cang shook his head and said: "The paper is light and thin, not only the writing speed is fast, but also it is very convenient to take and read. Every time I read a book, I will remember the scene when I followed my teacher and needed to read and write with a bamboo slip, those bamboo slips were heavy to death, my teacher was old, always let me move around, every time I moved, I was almost tired and lay down. At that time, if the prince had to get the paper out, I don't know how much easier it would be. ”
Looking at Zhang Cang's fat body, imagining the scene of him moving around with a bunch of slips, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
This fat man is quite interesting.
Seeing Zhang Cang's words, Wugong Hou smiled and groaned, and Ganquan also took advantage of the situation to make a sycophant.
"As the history of the pillar said, the paper made by the prince is really a great benefit for the benefit of the world. Since the construction of paper mills in various parts of Guanzhong, this thing is no longer scarce, our imperial history library has switched to paper to transcribe documents, which is very convenient, all of which are the work of the prince. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo turned his head sideways, looked at the rows of neatly bound paper books placed on the shelves around him, and nodded slightly.
In the past, the collection of books here was basically bamboo slips, which not only occupied a huge area, but also was very inconvenient to take and consult, but now after all the books are copied and backed up on paper, the situation is very different.
The invention of paper is really very beneficial to the library.
"And there are paper transcriptions and transmissions, and those ancient and unique books are not easy to lose anymore."
Zhao Tuo sighed secretly, he prevented the appearance of the book-burning pit and the occurrence of Xiang Yu's burning of Xianyang, so the historical books and scriptures left over from ancient China will be greatly preserved and become the most precious treasure of this nation.
After the next few people talked a few more words, Zhao Tuo asked Yushi Zhongcheng to leave first to do his own thing, so as to leave space for him and Zhang Cang to get along.
Zhang Cang was thoughtful, and after Cheng left in the imperial history, he arched his hand to Zhao Tuo and said: "Zhang Cang is just a small pillar under the history, a small person, not enough to worry about." I don't know why the prince came here to visit, so that Cang was flattered. ”
Zhao Tuo stretched out his hand and asked Han Xin to hand over a stack of papers, put it on the case, and said to Zhang Cang: "I am proficient in the calculation method when I hear the history of Zhuxia, and I am quite interested in it." However, I found that today's number calculation is quite troublesome, so I had a whim and made some changes to the numbers. ”
Digital changes?
Zhang Cang was stunned, this was the reason he never expected.
He didn't expect that Wugong Hou would come to him to engage in academic research.
At this time, Zhang Cang's interest increased greatly, and he was busy looking at the paper on the case.
Then he froze.
What is this?
"Historical Records: The Biography of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng": Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's ...... Good book calendar. Qin is the imperial history, and the book is under the main column...... Grown, fat and white...... He died at the age of more than 100 years.
