The door was open, and Gu Chengyu stepped directly into the pavilion. The first thing that caught his eye was the rows of bookshelves. Gu Chengyu only glanced at them roughly. There were about twenty bookshelves on this floor.
All the books were arranged neatly, but Gu Chengyu did not see ancient books and bamboo slips, which should have been placed separately.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Gu, the editor of Hanlin Academy? The official is the classic book of Wenhua Pavilion, Gan Mowei!" Seeing so many books, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and wanted to step forward and take out one to take a look.
At this time, he heard someone asking him something. He turned around and saw that there was a desk by the door. Now, standing in front of the desk was a thin old man with a shriveled appearance.
Only then did Gu Chengyu realize that this should be Gan Dianji who was on duty today. The responsibility of Dianji was to take charge of the court's chapter memorials, literary transfers, and manage the school's books. The canon was only from the eighth level, and it was not considered official.
officials.
Therefore, if you are just a civil servant, as long as someone recommends you, you can become a canon or official, waiting to be recruited. But if you are looking for a sense of superiority in front of such a small official who is not even good, then you
You must be prepared to be stumbled by colleagues or superiors.
This type of people are generally well-connected people, either recommended by colleagues or officials from other government agencies, so this type of people should not be offended easily.
"My surname is Gu. Master Zhang ordered me to sort out the books. This is my tooth tag." Gu Chengyu handed the tooth tag hanging around his waist to Gan Dianji and asked him to register it.
Gan Dianji quickly walked around the table and took it respectfully. After seeing that the information on the tooth tag was accurate, he registered Gu Chengyu.
"Sir, the books you want to organize are in another room. Please come with me." After Gan Dianji returned the tooth plaque to Gu Chengyu, he led Gu Chengyu directly to the other room.
Gu Chengyu followed Gan Dianji through the rows of bookshelves and came to a closed room. As soon as Gan Dianji opened the door, Gu Chengyu was about to step in, but suddenly choked on the dust floating in the air.
This mouthful was unprepared and very sudden.
"Cough!" Gu Chengyu quickly picked up his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose. When he walked into the house, he took a closer look and immediately understood.
I saw that the bookshelf in front of me was completely different from what I saw outside. It was very clean and tidy outside, but the bookshelf here was a bit messy. It must be difficult to tidy up here, so when the room was opened, there was still some dust.
Gu Chengyu stepped forward and took a book and patted some floating dust on it. He flipped through it and was a little surprised to see that it was still intact. He didn't take care of it often, so it hadn't been eaten by insects. That was really lucky.
Gan Dianji was a little embarrassed when he heard Gu Chengyu's cough just now. Compared with outside, it is indeed a bit chaotic here.
"Sir Gu, here are some classics, historical books and records from the previous dynasties. Please sort them out."
Gu Chengyu looked at the dozen or so large bookshelves in front of him and had a headache. This job was too tedious. Could it be that he had to do it all? Besides, these books were obviously placed randomly. Not to mention whether they were neat or not, they were not in accordance with the dynasty.
It is separated from the category, so it is very laborious to organize it like this.
He put the few books he had just taken out at random on the bookshelf again, and said silently in his heart: Therefore, when heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin.
"Master Gu, don't worry. Your subordinate will help you to clean up this place thoroughly. Master Zhang also assigned two servants to help you organize it." Gan Dianji saw that Gu Chengyu was speechless and knew that this task was a bit heavy.
.So, he quickly told all Gu Chengyu’s helpers.
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. It would be good to have someone to help him. The other people were all low-level officials, so there was no reason for him to move the books himself.
"In that case, go and call the two servants here, and let's get started!" Gu Chengyu didn't ask why the two people hadn't arrived yet, he just wanted to know that they would come to help.
"Yes! The two servants got the news later. I will go and inform them now."
Before they came, Gu Chengyu was not in a hurry to take action and did not let him do it at the top, but those people arrived late.
There was some dust on these books. Gu Chengyu thought it would be better to open the doors and windows to allow ventilation. After opening the windows, he went to the previous bookshelves, took out a book and started reading.
This was a regional chronicle. Gu Chengyu browsed through two pages and found that the records were very detailed. He became interested and simply found a seat to sit down, preparing to read the book in detail.
"Master Gu! Zhou Shishu and Wang Shishu are here!"
Gan Dianji brought two officials who were about forty years old. As soon as they saw Gu Chengyu, they quickly stepped forward to return the favor.
"Xiaoguan Zhou Qing has met Mr. Gu!"
"Xiaoguan Wang Xian has met Mr. Gu!"
Seeing that the three people had already arrived, Gu Chengyu couldn't read any more, so he had to put the regional chronicle back on the bookshelf.
"No need to be polite! Since everyone is here, let's get started!" Gu Chengyu looked at the things in their hands. They were all rags and feather dusters, which seemed to be ready to wipe the dust on the books.
While everyone was working, Gu Chengyu also listened to Gan Dianji's explanation of why there was no regulation here. Gu Chengyu only got the general meaning from his vague words.
In fact, it has only been a few decades since the founding of the Dayan Dynasty. Some important books from the previous dynasty have been properly placed, and the rest are these books that are not reused. These were sorted out later and are temporarily placed here for regulation.
There is not only one place in the palace where books are collected, but also several libraries. This was selected after sorting several libraries, so it has been postponed until today. In addition, in recent years, the number of officials in the Hanlin Academy has gradually decreased, so naturally
Put it off if you can, because no one cares about these books anyway.
Gu Chengyu picked out a few books and looked at them, and it was indeed the case. They were all unofficial history books, as well as some secret histories of the palaces of previous dynasties, etc. In fact, Gu Chengyu was quite interested in these, and such books often yielded some unexpected gains.
.
Gu Chengyu watched them pile the cleaned books into a pile. He asked Gan Dianji to get pens, ink and paste, and went forward to put a label on the end of the books. These books were numerous and miscellaneous.
With labels, people can understand it at a glance without flipping through the book.
"There is still a way, sir. This way, it is much more convenient. This method is worth learning from and is also applicable in other places." Seeing Gu Chengyu's actions, Zhou Shishu felt that this method was really wonderful. In fact, the method is not difficult.
