In the late Han and Three Kingdoms era, what is the concept of being knowledgeable?

There are three sets of data below.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Ai of Han ordered people to organize national books, and the final data was 33,090 volumes. This is the first time in Chinese history that the national collection volume was clearly recorded.

After Liu Xiu established the capital of Luoyang, he ordered people to transport the national collection of books in Chang'an to Luoyang, and only more than 30,000 volumes were transported. After more than a hundred years, the Eastern Han government collected and increased the collection. When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, a total of 100,000 volumes were drawn from Luoyang. (However, Taishi Dong was not a cultural person after all, and Luoyang was not far from Chang'an, but when these 100,000 volumes were left, there were only more than 1,000 volumes left.)

Cai Yong, a great calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was known as the number one book collection in the world. It was the most private book collection in that era. How many were there? It was more than 10,000 volumes at its peak, and there were more than 4,000 volumes left in his later years.

This was the pinnacle of the national and private collections of books in that era.

It seems that there are many books, right? But the so-called "volume" refers to bamboo slips or silk books. How much information is carried by? How many words can a bamboo slip be written in a volume? According to the actual bamboo slips unearthed in later generations, a bamboo slip is written at most 49 words, usually 10 to 30 words. A volume is about 100 to 300 words.

Therefore, Mr. Cai Yong's maximum reading volume is only about two or three million words. Even if classical Chinese is concise and concise, one word is more than three modern characters. That is only ten million words. And he is already the person who reads the most books in that era.

Ten million words? Haha, which of the old bookworms on Qidian has read has been over 100 million long ago?

It can be said that in modern society, as long as any modern person who likes to read, travels back, it will completely crush the ancients in terms of knowledge reserves and reading volume.

Now many of the textbooks in Longshouyuan are the essence condensed by Guan Yi after reading the academic achievements of countless ancestors before traveling through time...

That's why Guan Yi told his sons that the origin of aristocratic families is just a slap under the current education model of Longshouyuan.

Not only time travelers have this consciousness, but the elites of this era have also felt this. Therefore, the Cao family and the Sima family have shamelessly reported to the Grand Sima Mansion and begged to recruit talents from Longshouyuan Academy.

"The eldest son, what did Ling Zun and His Majesty think? Why did he promise the Sima family and Cao family members to recruit talents in the college? Isn't this not..."

"Hahaha, Brother Bo Zhi, do you mean to be a foe?"

"Well……."

"Hahaha, first of all, whether it is Northern Wei, Southern Wei or the Marquis, they are now vassal states of our Han Dynasty and cannot be considered an enemy.

Secondly, these three families really need talents. Let’s talk about the Sima family. More than four months ago, Sima Anshi went to Chang'an to be granted title, and then more than 70 Sima family relatives left the team and accepted a household registration in Chang'an. After that, Sima Anshi took the remaining 8,000 people to Xiu Tu. The news I received was that they are doing very well now. Uh, Lao Ku, you have just passed there recently, how do you feel?"

"Reporting to the eldest son, the Sima family has been in less than three months, but it has completely changed." Speaking of this, Kurshan's expression has become richer: "In the past, although Xiutu County was a must-pass place for merchants, it was just going to the city to supplement food, drink water, rest, etc. But now it is different. In more than three months, although there were not many new houses or other buildings, most of the prestigious properties in the city were quickly transformed into Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Bo Opera Tower, and various hotels.

Young Master, everyone, think about it. After entering the Xiumao City, the eunuchs who used to serve the pseudo emperors attracted guests with such a special voice. They said all kinds of auspicious flatteries that made you feel sorry for not going in and spending. When you were in the tavern, you ate the dishes cooked by the imperial chef for you. After eating enough food, you should go to relax. Or the palace maids who served the emperor and empress warmed you up. If you want to bet on your luck, the dealer in charge is probably the previous prince!

Hi! Dear nobles from the Wei family, as slaves of the Grand Sima, we have been making food on the edge of the knife for a long time. In the past, if we want to find such a place along the way, we must at least go to the garrison place of Persian sand. Now Xiu Tu is doing such a trick. Which passerby doesn’t throw away thousands or tens of thousands of dollars? Otherwise, the guys in the team are willing to do your work seriously for you?"

"Haha, Lao Ku, your current net worth is at least 1 billion. In the Western Regions, the prime ministers and kings of the four powerful countries will shake. How can you still need to earn money from the knife?"

"Where is it, the eldest son is joking. Uh, we have an idiom called "Fox and Tiger Power", and there is also an idiom called "Dog Relying on Human Power". I am just a lackey under the Great Sima."

"You are here again. Dai Yi has never been humble or arrogant in front of his father. You are always like this. Less gossip, how much did you spend in Xiu Tu that night?"

"Actually, there are not many. The caravan with 1,200 people spent less than 50,000 that night."

"Well, do you think there is any problem with their business?"

"Yes, not only there, but also very large. To give the simplest example, the people in charge of various places they operate are often elderly people over fifty years old, and middle-aged people in their thirties and forties rarely see them. There is no one young man in his twenties."

"Well, this shows that the old people in the Sima family have changed their minds the fastest and are the most able to accept reality. Those waste children, alas~~~"

"It's really that way. The eldest son, based on his years of experience in downstream merchants, it was too cheap that night for more than 1,000 people to spend more than 40,000 yuan. The people from the Sima family would not do business at all. If Xu Tu left it to me to manage it, the amount alone would be at least 200,000 yuan!"

"Haha, you're right. Si Wen Cao, under Uncle Zhongle, came from news that the Sima family had only been there for more than three months, and the wealth he brought with him was almost half reduced. Sima Anshi refused all the past merchants who were looking for the name... Yes, the Sima family used to be masters and never did anything to calculate money and grain. If they did business, they would not be able to wake up from the loss to a certain extent."

"Ah? There is still this? It seems that there were still many things that were not clear that night. The eldest son, in fact, in the eyes of his subordinates, the Sima family's recruitment at Longshouyuan Academy is not very meaningful. They want to build Xiu Tu into a city of pleasure on the Silk Road. This idea is correct. But the more this happens, the more people should recruit business people to cooperate. The Sima family provides various service resources such as maids, chefs, eunuchs, and merchants provide accounting offices, shopkeepers, etc. In this way, if the cooperation is good, the subordinates make a calculation and the profit in a year will not be less than tens of millions!"

"Hahahaha~~ You old guy, I said why did you come to my house early in the morning? It turned out that you were waiting for me here. Well, I personally don't object to this matter, but I still need to get my father's approval. In my opinion, my father wouldn't object. Maybe he will give you some ideas."

"Ah?! Thank you, my eldest son. Please rest assured. If you can invest in various industries that Xu Tuo, you will definitely leave enough shares for the eldest son."

"Ta! All the supplies you have in Dahan are supplied by my Fuxing Society, and my family is the largest shareholder of Fuxing Society. Is this my son who can do that little bit of stock? Besides, if I do this, I am afraid my father will behead me personally! Do you want to harm me?"

"I dare not, I dare not. The Grand Sima is noble in character and the Grand Prince is firm in will. My subordinates admire him very much. I just dare to ask the Grand Prince, when will the Grand Sima come back? Otherwise, I will go to Luoyang to ask for a meeting?"
