Hearing Gui Junxi's question, the young man smiled and replied: "Mr. Gui, no matter who is behind me, it doesn't have much to do with you now, right?"
There was contempt in his tone that he may not even be aware of. Indeed, Gui Junxi is no longer the mastermind of King Lu, and has neither the status nor the power to pursue it.
Gui Junxi was startled, thought for a moment, and let out a long sigh: "I'm at the end of my rope now, and it really doesn't matter anymore."
As he said that, he lowered his eyes and said nothing, thinking: "My chess pieces will soon arrive at the Prince Dai's Mansion, right?"
Daiwangfu
It was past noon, and there had been no rain for many days. It was July again, and it was even more oppressive. An ox cart entered through the side door and walked directly to a courtyard. The guard pulled the reins and stopped the cart.
"These are all scriptures?" Jian Qu rushed after hearing the news and saw several boxes being moved down the bullock cart. When he opened the lid, he saw a roll of thread holding books.
The palace guard bowed and replied: "Sir, the box contains all the books in the Jinyu Temple. They have been copied and moved here."
Even though there are only a few boxes, books are precious these days, and for the shrine, each collection of books is different, or they are basically common in the market, but there must be exquisite ones that are not available.
Whether it’s one book or several excellent books, this is the harvest.
Jian Qu knew that his lord liked to collect these things, so he waved his hand: "Move them all inside, store them carefully, and don't be careless."
"Yes!" Several guards unloaded the box and carried it into the courtyard. This courtyard was uninhabited. As soon as they entered, they saw three rows of bookshelves inside, almost filling the entire house and reaching the ceiling.
"Put the books on the desk first. I will sort them into categories and instruct the clerks in the palace to copy the valuable books I sorted out and store them in different categories."
This is to avoid the consequences of being ruined if there is a fire. Almost all the scholarly disciples take precautions like this.
"Don't be busy copying, let me take a look first." Suddenly someone spoke, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that it was the King of Dai, who hurriedly bowed to welcome him in. Su Ziji was not busy looking, and said to the steward who was following him: "Last time
I looked at the fired pottery pipes and found them acceptable."
"But how to sew the joints to prevent air leakage and water leakage? Find someone to think of a solution. Whoever can come up with a good solution will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver."
In this day and age, the key to living a comfortable life is actually flush toilets, running water, and hot and cold air conditioning.
Don't think it's ridiculous, it was possible in ancient times. You could just bake clay pipes, and use wind-powered waterwheels to fill water towers to form tap water pipes. The water pipes can also circulate and cool down. Some branches can be connected to boilers in winter to form heating pipes.
The key is how to seal the pottery tubes so that they are airtight and watertight. It is said that the sealing technology of ships can be used as a reference. It doesn't matter. Su Ziji only wants results.
"Yes!" the butler responded, but when he was speechless, he withdrew.
Su Ziji fanned himself and smiled bitterly: "It's so hot in summer, the courtyard is as hot as a steamer."
Jian Qu was silently inspecting the book list just now. After hearing this, he felt a bit extravagant, but he did not persuade him. At this time, he held the book list to Su Ziji with both hands and said: "There are three hundred and seven books in total, two hundred and forty books in it."
Nine copies are available in the market."
"The remaining fifty-eight books are all relatively rare, and the details have not been checked."
Su Ziji took a look at it, his expression became serious, he stepped forward to check it out, and sure enough, he was a little disappointed, most of them were Taoist scriptures that he had seen before.
However, there were also some whose names were unfamiliar to me. Among these fifty-eight books, I picked out one and flipped through it.
"Gao Zhuhua's book? This book doesn't seem to be a high-quality one." It actually didn't bring any experience points.
Su Ziji had less expectations for the remaining scriptures and flipped through a few more books. Suddenly, half of the red sandalwood wood moved.
"[Jianggong True Seal Pill Method] +260, Level 13 (9973/12000)"
The sudden experience gave Su Ziji a big surprise. He felt the coolness pouring into his head and more knowledge in his mind. Su Ziji slowly digested it.
"Even if only one book can bring experience, 260 experience points is not too little." Su Ziji thought to himself.
There is a big difference between now and before. In the past, the experience value increased rapidly, and you could get experience points by reading any book. But now, for me, the common sutra books on the market can no longer bring any experience.
Moreover, Taoism is different, so getting more than 200 points this time is already a big gain.
Su Ziji did not continue to read, nodded and said to Jian Qu: "This classification is good. These 249 books are available in the market. Then check the library to see if they are available. If there are, don't put them here."
"No, I've copied it neatly and put it here."
Jian Qu obeyed his order, and when tea was served, Jian Qu ordered people to move the two hundred and forty-nine books out and organize them.
"[Jianggong True Seal Pill Method] +530, Level 13 (10503/12000)"
"[Water Alchemy] +478, level 10 (6834/10000)"
"Three scriptures have added 800 points of Taoist methods and 500 points of alchemy methods. I have gained a lot."
There was silence in the room, and Su Ziji looked through the books again, touching each one, and found that there were two books that could also bring experience, especially an alchemy book, which brought 500 points of alchemy.
I was even more surprised.
"Sure enough, this method works."
Due to the urgent need to improve his alchemy skills, he made alchemy for his wife Ye Buhui. It could gain 500 points of alchemy experience, which was more satisfying to Su Ziji than adding 800 points of Taoist skills.
"The first batch is five shrines, each with its own secrets. I believe there will be a lot of harvest."
In the seventh year of Qingwu's reign in this dynasty, the imperial envoy Yue Ziheng wanted to borrow the Xuanqing Contemplation Book. The contemporary master was said to have cultivated to the level of a real person, but he refused. As a result, Yue Ziheng mobilized 300 soldiers, annihilated them in one fell swoop, shot the contemporary master, and captured the Dao Zang.
Although the results for Yue Ziheng were not good and he was dismissed from office three years later and was deeply implicated and sentenced to death, this method is still feasible.
"Actually, it would be great if I could read the Ouchi Collection. The Ouchi Collection contains everything. Unfortunately, the owner is not me. Even if I read it, it will not help unless I become the emperor."
"When you become emperor, you don't have to be like this anymore."
Su Ziji felt melancholy for some reason.
Daiwangfu·Gateway
An oxcart stopped, and a man got off the oxcart, stepped up the steps, and said to the concierge of Prince Dai's Mansion: "The student is Bai Lekang, who is the governor of Yanzhou City. There is an ancient book that I want to dedicate to King Dai. Please pass it on."
One sound."
A person who is a scholar asks to see the prince. In other palaces, there are some idiots who dream about it. A humble official comes directly to the door to ask for an audience without any guidance. This is the fate of being blocked. But a person who is not even a Jinshi and comes to the door like this is even more likely to be blocked.
.
But the palace of Prince Dai is different. Prince Dai likes to collect ancient books, calligraphy, paintings and Taoist scriptures. Many people in the capital know this, and it is not a secret.
Seeing that this person was wearing a silk robe, but it was a little faded by starching. Although he was not elegant and handsome, his face was full of bookishness. He was holding a wooden box in his hand. The disciple couldn't help but smile. Anyway, as a disciple, he was just helping the public
I just said, "I'm just running an errand," and I immediately agreed.
He didn't ask for any benefits from the promotion, he simply said: "Sir, wait here, I will go in and report."
