Chapter 347: Beat the gongs and drums, let’s donate books together (Part 2)
Two days later, 170,000 books were packed in dozens of oxcarts and entered Bianliang City from the New Song Gate in the east.
Cai Laoliu and Na Tong Zhisheng rode their horses with heads held high, galloping at the front of the team. Behind them were the drummers and drummers.
Behind them were nearly forty ox-carts moving slowly. As for Gao Zhang, he sat low-key in the carriage and held the formation at the rear.
Just let those two guys do it. Gao Zhang was really not willing to join in the fun.
The main reason was that he was so flamboyant like those two guys. Gao Zhang felt that he had not yet been able to reach the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Nine times out of ten, the girl's fans and aunties' fans have thrown all kinds of women's serious and inappropriate products into a mess, and they may be covered with bruises.
After all, the previous experiences have made the handsome prodigy with red lips and white teeth understand the character of women at this time, who dare to love, hate, express, and smash things to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
One is round and short, the other is tall and strong, Cai Laoliu and Na Tong have the same physical characteristics.
It is enough to perfectly avoid the aesthetic perspective of the majority of women at this time.
Of course, they are not without curiosity, and women with unique aesthetics admire these two men with admiration.
It's just that there are very few such heroines.
This strange team received eager attention immediately after entering the New Song Sect.
Especially when those good people came forward to inquire and found out that these hundreds of cars and 170,000 books were jointly purchased by Gao Zhang, the powerful eunuch, and the treacherous disciples, and decided to donate them to the poor scholars of the Song Dynasty for free.
them.
This immediately attracted more and more people to come and watch. After all, I had only heard related rumors before, but there was no solid evidence after all. Everyone just talked about it and didn't take it seriously.
But now, dozens of carts were densely packed with books, and this finally made the people of Bianliang understand.
Those three young men were not bragging, but they really dared to spend all their wealth to do such a good deed.
Naturally, many scholars and students from the Imperial Academy also received the news and came to watch out of curiosity.
But what is curious is that this team actually went straight to the official headquarters, which is really confusing.
Arriving in front of the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Cai Laoliu got off his horse proudly, climbed up the steps, and looked left and right.
After confirming that many eyes were focused on him, he cleared his throat and told the officer who came forward loudly about him, the Qilin son of the Cai family.
It was difficult to run official schools in the Song Dynasty.
Not to mention the many official schools in the Song Dynasty. Due to the difficulty of maintaining funds, some poor scholars could only share a set of books with a few students and had to spend a lot of effort copying them.
For this reason, Cai Laoliu decided to sell the goods and spent a huge sum of money to buy the 170,000 books and specially sent them to Bianliang City in Tokyo today.
It's just that I didn't know which government office could receive these donated books, so I went to the official government office of the Ministry of Personnel to ask.
The official officer, who was sprayed in the face by Cai Laoliu, was confused. He always felt that Cai Laoliu's Liulang was here to cause trouble.
But he didn't dare to say that. With a smile on his face, he was about to give some advice to Cai Liulang. When he saw Cai Family Liulang bulging his eyes towards him.
"I just want to ask you, can your official office accept those books?"
"This... little official, I don't know. Otherwise, I will go and report it..."
Cai Laoliu turned his head and saw Tong Zhisheng, who was smiling happily side by side with him, glaring at him murderously, and quickly threatened the officer with his eyes.
"No need to ask, just shake your head."
"..."
#####
Many busybodies who were joining in the fun and watching had already raised their voices and shouted, instructing them to go directly to the Imperial College. Unfortunately, Tong Zhisheng, who had just finished Cai Laoliu's limelight, was not willing to agree.
As a result, this team of players continued to march towards the Ministry of Rites and arrived in front of the official office of the Ministry of Rites.
This time, Tong Zhisheng followed the same example and made the same speech as Cai Laoliu.
The important task of delivering books really made Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng steal the limelight, but this limelight was obviously not so positive.
They were even criticized by the people of Bianliang, who always felt that there was something wrong with these two guys' minds.
Someone has obviously reminded them to send these books directly to the Imperial College, but they have to go through such a roundabout way. Are they embarrassed by such vulgar self-promotion and flaunting?
Wu Zhizhong, who was busy with official duties in the government office, heard the report from the servants. He also looked confused and breathed in like a toothache for a long time.
After shaking my head for a long time, this was a good thing after all. Anyway, it was just harassing the guards at the gate of Xiaguan Yamen, so it didn't matter.
After a while, Chen Shilang rushed over with a gossipy face.
"Shang Shu, you may have heard that before, Cai Liulang went to the official office of the Ministry of Personnel to deliver a letter, and then Tong Zhisheng came to our Ministry of Rites to deliver a letter.
What kind of brains do they have, don't they know that official schools are supervised by the Imperial Academy?"
Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"This junior has a good reputation, so it's not surprising that he behaves like this. However, what makes me strange is that Cai Jing and Tong Guan are so greedy and greedy.
They are really willing to spend so much money to buy such a number of books just to make a name for their juniors."
"Yes, by the way, I remember that during this period, didn't they always act together as three people? Why is Gao Guizhang missing today?"

"...When they arrived at the Imperial College, Duke Zhuangyuan, together with Cai Liulang and Tong Dalang, went to see Li Jijiu of the Imperial College, and handed over forty carts and more than 176,000 books to the Imperial College on the spot..."
After hearing Yang Jian's report, Zhao Ji, an official who was painting, almost burst into laughter.
"It's rare. I didn't expect Xiao Gao to be able to persuade those two people to handle such a big thing."
Liang Shicheng on the side couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Guan Guan, why are you so sure that it was the little Gao Zhuangyuan who did it?"
"If it wasn't him, could it be Cai Liulang and Tong Dalang who proposed it?
It’s not that I underestimate them, but with their brains, they simply won’t consider the difficulties of setting up official schools for the imperial court.”
Yang Jian on the side looked at Liang Shicheng playfully and smiled flatteringly at the official.
"What the officials said is true. Xiao Gao, the champion, has always been concerned about the country and the people. It's not surprising that he could think of such a way to persuade those two people."
The official nodded in agreement, put down the purple pen in his hand on the pen holder, rubbed his sore wrist, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"This matter really came at the right time."
"Why do officials say this?"
"As the saying goes, those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have committed mistakes must be punished. Since these three young talents are able to exert such great ability to serve the imperial court."
"Of course I have to express something, otherwise, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world. It just so happens that the purple robe I specially ordered for Xiao Gao should come in handy."

I'm cleaning up my house today and I'm going out tomorrow. I hope I can keep updating on the road.
