Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight and borrowing books
Facts have proved that you can never have too much food. Although the imperial servants who had been hungry all morning munched after posting the list, only more than half of the steaming breakfast was consumed.
But the remaining food still had a place to go. Because everyone saw that Hua Qi was like the legendary glutton, destroying at least ten people's food in one breath!
Immediately afterwards, Ah Liu, who was known to everyone among the imperial guards, came out of the Imperial Academy and killed ten more people... As a result, the vendors who failed to do business today were left with unsold food.
It's almost empty.
When these small business vendors came up to express their gratitude and friendship, Hua Qi avoided everyone's questions about his origins and talked about his family life with a smile. At the end, he coughed.
"Okay, it's daylight now. It's really not good-looking for you to occupy Chengxian Street for business anymore, so you should disperse. Although I haven't seen His Highness, it's rare in my life to be so close to His Highness.
Going out is also a good story, isn't it? Go and publicize His Highness the Crown Prince's visit to the Imperial College, and make our Crown Prince famous!"
The few vendors who came boldly to speak looked at each other, and of course they all agreed in the end. As for the others who did not dare to come, they all took these words to heart. And Hua Qi patiently told them that today
What kind of lists are these posted, and why did His Highness the Prince bring all the prison students in to discipline him? In short, he is amiable and approachable, just like an ordinary old uncle next door.
No one could tell that this neatly dressed old man with a smile on his face was not only fifty years old, but also a murderous man.
Ah Liu was used to seeing the vicious side of Hua Qi, but he felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw someone smiling and chatting with a group of vendors. However, others did not know how vicious Hua Qi was. At this time, everyone
They happily returned to the cart that they depended on for survival, put away the stove, said hello and farewell to each other, and pushed the cart... In an instant, Chengxian Street became deserted again.
Seeing that the surroundings were completely quiet, and the men in black cloaks had retreated to the base of the wall to guard the list, Ah Liu frowned thoughtfully, and then walked to the Imperial Academy without saying a word. Hua Qi, on the other hand, was holding back.
After not seeing anyone asking questions for a long time, I couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You kid, don't you have anything to ask?"
"No." Ah Liu didn't seem to feel at all that he was chatting to death, but he didn't need to look back, he knew what Hua Qi's expression was at this moment, and he snorted softly, "Even if you want to attract people to come over,
People won’t come so fast!”
"Oh, you don't believe how fast these guys can spread the word? Do you want to make a bet with me?" Hua Qi rubbed her fingers gently with a sly look on her face, "If His Highness the Crown Prince and Xueshie Zhang come out, there will already be people here who have caught wind of the news.
So, you will lose a hundred guans to me?"
"I don't want to gamble if I don't have money." Ah Liu glanced at Hua Qi with disdain and continued walking in without looking back until he reached the bottom of the university archway.
You lied to me, let alone other people?"
At this moment, the imperial servants under the wall, who were watching their eyes and noses, pretending that they did not exist, could not help but fall into horror.
What did they hear? Was the prince deceived by their new immediate boss today? If this news spreads, will people be devastated and will they be able to achieve the goal of driving this cruel guy away?
Hua Qi rubbed her face angrily, but she didn't care at all that Ah Liu revealed her plan in front of others - after all, when he visited Zhang Yuan last night, he made it clear to Ah Liu and encouraged the fourth prince to go After inciting the third prince, he also went to Qianqing Palace and left a note for the emperor.
He knew very well that the emperor also hoped that the third prince would appear in public more often and show more knowledge and responsibility as a prince. The fact that the third prince came out smoothly this morning meant that he would at most be scolded by the emperor for his persuasion.
And now Hua Qi is very confident. The dignified Prince of the East Palace came to the Imperial College with many lecturers to admonish the students. In addition, there are thousands of people outside the ranking list. Even those vendors may not know all the details of this matter. If you publicize it, you may even spread rumors, but it will definitely attract the first batch of people in a short period of time.
Of course, he didn't want the third prince to be like these hawkers and be blocked in the Imperial College by the huge flow of people rushing in. There will always be people who meet at the right time and others who miss it, and stories like this will be passed down through the ages.
Although she had expected it, Hua Qi still misjudged the length of time that the third prince and his party would stay in the Imperial College.
The dusty Jianxian Pavilion was so dusty that even outsiders like Yue Shanchang and Xiao Shanchang who did not want to offend the Imperial Academy Supervisor too much could not stand it and shook their heads and sighed for a while.
The well-informed academics of the Hanlin Academy wanted to keep silent, but when Zhang Shou lightly said that the library had been dusty for a long time, and it was not all the fault of the current academic officials, they suddenly came to their senses.
Nowadays, many of the predecessors and even predecessors of these officials, both large and small, are still in the court. At that time, they were at the level of wine ministers and ministers. Now some of them have been promoted to the cabinet, and some have become ministers or even ministers. There are quite a few people who serve as chief ministers in Guanglu Temple, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, and even the low-ranking doctors at that time have already had good official careers.
In contrast, the current academic officers of the Imperial College are struggling, and they have a lot of bad reputations. If we don't put the blame on these academic officers in front of us, should we also blame their predecessors who are in full swing or even their predecessors?
Fortunately, today the prince Zhan Shiliu Zhiyuan Liu Zhiyuan, who has always been a bad talker, and Mr. Liu are not here. As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the vaguely head of the lecturers in the East Palace, Meng Xueshi immediately took the lead to give the matter a conclusion.
"Jianxian Pavilion has fallen into such a state of decay, which is really contrary to Emperor Taizu's original intention of setting up this place. Now the Sutra Sutra Hall near Xinglong Tea House in the outer city is under construction in full swing. It is said that a borrowing room will be set up in the future for people to borrow books. Transcript. Wouldn’t it be a joke if the dignified Imperial Library and Library were not as good as a place like this that was built with private funds?"
"Such mismanagement is indeed deplorable! Look at these books, they are rotten and rotten. Even the bookshelves seem to have been eaten by insects..."
The bachelor attending on the other interface suddenly stopped talking when he commented angrily on the decaying bookshelf.
Things like bookshelves cannot be replaced just for nothing. They are often used for more than ten years or even longer. If something goes wrong, Zhou Jijiu and his predecessors will be implicated.
He immediately changed his words with sadness and said: "Such a library is only superficial, but in fact it is difficult to live up to it. It is really a pity!"
Seeing that everyone was rushing to add insult to injury, Zhang Shou, who had just "helped others in times of need", shut up. He had already been "kind" in helping the academic officers of the Imperial Academy to shirk their responsibilities, but in the end, if others didn't help, what would he have?
Method?
Could it be that because he was once a member of the Imperial College, he continued to speak for others regardless of past grudges? He is not such a good person who repays evil with kindness!
Seeing that Zhou Jijiu was on the verge of falling, Luo Siye clenched his teeth, and the remaining academic officials either had earthy faces or angry expressions. The third prince finally said in a deep voice: "This matter of seeing the Xian Pavilion has been going on for a long time. Gu Ye knows that we can't all
It’s the fault of Da Sicheng, Shao Sicheng and everyone below, but isn’t this scene one of the reasons why the Imperial College has been declining over the years?”
"This matter will be reported to my father at the private meeting. First, he will replace the collection of books, secondly, he will repair the Jianxian Pavilion, and thirdly, he will choose the right person to preside over this place..." At this point, he suddenly paused and then turned to look behind him.
Everyone was reading, but their eyes quickly fell on Zhang Shou, "Teacher, how does this library function normally? Do you have any suggestions?"
Under the piercing gaze of the third prince, Zhang Shou walked forward leisurely and then smiled.
"I heard that there are many great book collectors among the people. The library covers several floors and covers a vast area. It contains thousands or even tens of thousands of books. The management inside is strict. However, there are often rules. Only male descendants within three generations can be allowed to collect books.
Once inside, the female family members are all isolated, and outsiders are even more eager to take a look but cannot get it. No matter how many books are collected, not even one family can benefit, let alone others."
"So, if a library like Jianxian Pavilion is like this now, it can only be said to be poor management. Please don't criticize it too harshly."
Seeing that he had said this, people including Chief Yue Shan, who was relatively familiar with him, gave him a surprised look. Others had expressions of disbelief, especially the academic officers of the Imperial College, whose expressions were even more complicated and subtle.
Zhang Shou smiled easily. That smile, coupled with his outstanding appearance, seemed very heart-warming.
"In the final analysis, it is because the name of the Library Pavilion means that these books can only be shelved in the cabinet and cannot really play a role. Since all the real rare ancient books are stored in the ancient and modern general collection library in the palace, then this Imperial College
What kind of books are in the library? I just flipped through them and found that they are the Four Books and Five Classics and various annotations."
"Since it is not a rare book that needs to be collected seriously and cannot be read by ordinary people, then instead of letting Jianxian Pavilion continue to be empty and decaying, why not turn it into a book borrowing room that can be used by the supervisors? After the books here are screened one by one,
Replace the decayed books and repurchase those books that are essential or commonly used by supervisors, even best-selling contemporary collections."
"Then, list the books one by one, number them, and hang them on the wall as a borrowing catalog..."
Zhang Shou spoke calmly and calmly about the various borrowing rules of modern libraries. This calmness seemed to come to him at his fingertips. The three academy chiefs who had been summoned to the capital by the emperor could not help but feel heavy while listening and thinking attentively.
of.
Although their academy also provides various supports for ordinary students, and teachers will occasionally lend books to promising students, although the academy has a real library, it is not open to ordinary students, and even ordinary teachers are not open to it.
You may not be able to get in. After all, the library is a treasure for many scholarly families, and it is also a treasure for the academy!
The kind of book lending room that Zhang Shou mentioned lowers the library to the level of a market bookstore. Of course, there will be no messy legendary novels or even erotic love letters. But most of the market bookstores are purely for profit, and they are not
Ordinary people will be allowed to stand there and read books, let alone copy books!
After Zhang Shou finished talking about the idea of the library, he saw that Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye looked very ugly, so he said lightly: "If Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng feel that this is against
The original intention of the Guozijian Library Pavilion is that half of the Jianxian Pavilion collects books and half is borrowed, which is actually okay. Moreover, the books can only be read on site and cannot be taken away, which can also reduce damage."
"And since borrowing books must be registered, we can regularly count which books are really urgently needed by the supervisors. Originally, we only prepared one copy, and then we can purchase more books. This can also be regarded as a major issue for bookshops that print books.
A survey on book satisfaction.”
Zhang Shou paused for a moment, then said in a casual tone: "It should be noted that Lu Jijiu personally raised funds to build the sutra library. He planned to donate some rare ancient books collected at home to the bookshop for typesetting and printing. If
Once printed, there will be many books there that are almost impossible to find in the market. It is estimated that when the Sutra Library opens, there will be more than 300 kinds of books of various types."
"And if we include those books with large volumes, the total volume of books probably reaches several thousand volumes."
He casually said a number that made everyone around him fall silent, and then said with a smile: "Of course, Duke Zhao's government is also very supportive of this kind of good thing that can help students. The wife, Duke Zhao and his wife all said that they are willing to spend money
If you have rare ancient books at home, choose suitable ones for typesetting and printing. In this way, readers may see books that are not on the market."
At the beginning, he said that the Imperial College could renovate the library room for the use of the students, but then he suddenly changed the topic and mentioned Lu Wan's sutra library. If everyone present didn't know what it meant, then they would be in vain for being elites these days.
However, no matter how quick they reacted, they still had to think carefully before speaking. However, a certain naughty child shouted without thinking at all: "Teacher, if the Sutra Hall is built in the future, how can we sit in it?"
how many people?"
Seeing the interested expression on the fourth prince's face, Zhang Shou winked at the naughty boy and said, "There should only be a hundred seats, right? After all, this is just the beginning, so we can't be too greedy. If everything goes well in the future,
Can it be expanded?"
Hearing such words, not to mention Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye, even the many East Palace lecturers and readers instantly changed their expressions. The library is more of a collection, rather than for the general public to borrow. In this case
Next, the sutra library that can accommodate a hundred people to borrow or copy books is definitely a huge thing! Not to mention, Zhang Shou actually said that it can be expanded!
It is conceivable that people who come from wealthy backgrounds may still be able to resist such temptations. How can those scholars who come from poor backgrounds and are illiterate but suffer from lack of other avenues not flock to them? Zhang Shou had an article about borrowing books.
It is said that it is spreading!
The third prince did not look at the people with different faces. He grabbed the fourth prince who was full of excitement and dragged him behind him. Then he nodded lightly and said: "The borrowing method mentioned by the teacher is indeed very reasonable.
, after returning to the palace alone, I will definitely report it to my father. If it is really feasible, this will be a good thing that will benefit the future."
