Chapter 668: Collecting and Borrowing Books

It turns out that food is never too much. Although the royal attendants who had been hungry all morning munched on the list after pasting the list, those steaming breakfasts had only wiped out more than half of them, but there was still a place for the rest of the food. Because everyone saw that Hua Qi was like a legendary gluttony, destroying at least ten people's things in one go!

And immediately after, Ah Liu, who was unknown to everyone in the imperial court's attendants, came out of the Guozi Prison and wiped out ten more people...... As a result, the small stalls and vendors who have not been able to do business today have almost emptied the food that has not been sold.

When these small business vendors came up to thank them for their kindness, Hua Qi avoided the question of everyone asking about his origins, and talked to people about family life with a smile, and at the end, he coughed.

"Okay, it's bright now, and you guys will occupy this Chengxian Street to do business, it's really not good-looking, let's disperse. Although I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Prince, it's rare to be so close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this life, and it's a good story to say it, isn't it? Let's all go and publicize the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the national prison, and give our Royal Highness the Crown Prince a name! ”

A few small vendors who came to speak boldly looked at me, and in the end, of course, they all agreed, and as for the others who didn't dare to come, they also took this to heart. And Hua Qi patiently told them what kind of list they posted today, and what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bringing all the prisoners in to admonish them. In short, amiable, like an ordinary uncle next door.

No one can see that this neatly dressed old man with a smile on his face is not only fifty years old, but also a peerless murderer.

Ah Liu was used to seeing Hua Qi's fierce and evil side, and at this time, when he saw people smiling and chatting with a group of stall vendors, he felt extremely unaccustomed. However, others didn't know what kind of murderer Hua Qi was, and at this time, they happily returned to the cart where they depended on their lives, cleaned up the stove, greeted each other and said goodbye, and pushed the cart ...... In an instant, Chengxian Street was deserted again.

Seeing that the surroundings were completely quiet, and those black men had retreated to the bottom of the wall to guard the list, Ah Liu frowned thoughtfully, and then walked to the Guozi Prison without saying a word. But Hua Qi didn't see anyone ask for a long time, and at this time he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You kid doesn't have anything to ask?" ”

"Nope." Ah Liu didn't seem to feel that he had directly talked to death, but he didn't have to look back, and he knew what Hua Qi's expression was at this moment, so he snorted lightly at the moment, "Even if you want to attract people over, people won't come so quickly!" ”

"Oh, don't believe the speed at which these guys can talk? Do you want to make a bet with me? Hua Qi rubbed his fingers lightly, with a cunning expression, "If you turn around and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Zhang come out, there are already people here who have heard the news, and you will lose me a hundred times?" ”

"No money, no gambling." Ah Liu glanced at Hua Qi with disdain, and continued to walk in without looking back, until he reached the bottom of the university archway, he laughed and said, "You even dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince, let alone others?" ”

At this moment, the royal attendants under the wall, who were watching their noses and noses and pretending not to exist, couldn't help but fall into horror together.

What did they hear? Today, the crown prince was deceived by their new boss? If this news spreads, will people not be able to eat and walk around, and will they be able to achieve the goal of driving this ruthless guy away?

Hua Qi rubbed his face angrily, but he didn't care at all that Ah Liu broke his own design in front of people - after all, he visited Zhang Yuan last night, but he made it clear to Ah Liu, and after the fourth prince went to encourage the third prince, he also went to the Qianqing Palace to leave a note for the emperor.

He knew very well that the emperor also hoped that the three princes would appear in public and show their insight and care as a crown prince. And the fact that the third prince was able to come out smoothly this morning shows that he was scolded by the emperor afterwards at most.

And now Hua Qi is very confident, the dignified prince of the East Palace has brought many lecturers to the Guozijian to admonish the prisoners, coupled with the ranking list of thousands of people outside, even if those small stall vendors may not publicize all the details of this matter, or even spread false rumors, they will definitely attract the first batch of people in a short time.

Of course, he didn't want the third prince to be like these small stalls and vendors, who were directly blocked by the huge flow of people who came in a hurry and couldn't go back. Someone has to happen at the right time, and someone misses it, so that the story will be passed down through the ages.

Although he had expected it, Hua Qi still miscalculated the time that the three princes and his party stayed in the Guozi Prison.

The dusty Jianxian Pavilion, even outsiders like Yue Shanchang and Xiao Shanchang, who were unwilling to offend the Guozi Supervisor, really couldn't stand it, and shook their heads and sighed for a while.

And even if the scholars of the Hanlin Academy wanted to keep their mouths shut, when Zhang Shou said lightly that the dust of the library pavilion had been sealed for a long time, and they couldn't all blame the current scholars, they suddenly woke up.

Nowadays, the predecessors of these senior and senior officials, and even the predecessors, many of them are still in the court, and they were at the level of sacrificial wine and business, and now some people have been impressively among the cabinets, and some people have been impressively a book and even a squire, and they served as Zhengqing in Taichang Temple, Dali Temple, Guanglu Temple, and there are a lot of them, and even the doctors who were of low grade at that time have a lot of careers now.

In contrast, now these scholars in Guozijian are struggling, and they have a lot of notoriety, so if they don't put the responsibility on the heads of these scholars in front of them, do they still have to push them to their predecessors or even predecessors who are just like the sky?

Fortunately, today's prince Zhan Shi Liu Zhiyuan and Master Liu are not there today, as the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the head of the East Palace, Master Meng, who is faintly the head of the East Palace, immediately took the lead in giving this matter a given.

"Seeing that the Xian Pavilion has fallen into such a state is really against the original intention of Emperor Taizu to set up this place. Now the construction of the Sutra Hall near the Xinglong Tea House in the outer city is in full swing, and it is said that a borrowing room will be set up in the future for people to borrow books to read and copy. Wouldn't it be a joke if it wasn't even as good as such a place built by private funding? ”

"Such mismanagement is indeed sad and lamentable! Look at these books, rotten and rotten, full of numbers, even the bookshelves seem to have been eaten by worms......"

The attendant of the other interface suddenly stopped when he commented on the decayed bookshelf with an angry face.

Bookshelves can't be replaced when they have nothing to do, they are often used for more than ten years or even longer, and if one is not good, they will implicate their predecessors.

He immediately changed his words bitterly: "Such a library pavilion is empty, but it is actually difficult to match, what a pity!" ”

Seeing that a group of people were all scrambling to fall into the well, Zhang Shou, who had just "sent charcoal in the snow", shut up. He has already "kindly" helped the school officials of Guozijian to shirk their responsibilities, but in the end, others did not help, what could he do?

Does he still want to be because he used to be a member of the national prison, so he continues to help others talk regardless of his previous suspicions? He's not such a good guy who repays his grievances with virtue!

Seeing that the Zhou sacrifice wine was crumbling, Luo Siye clenched his teeth, and the remaining scholars were either as pale as earth or as angry as their faces, the third prince finally said in a deep voice: "This matter of seeing the Xian Pavilion has been going on for a long time, and Lone also knows that it can't all be blamed on the following people, but isn't this scene one of the reasons why the Guozijian has been declining over the years?" ”

"This matter will be played by the emperor alone, one is to replace the collection of books, the second is to repair the Jianxian Pavilion, and the third is to choose the right person to preside over this place......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then turned his head to look at the people behind him to read, but his eyes quickly fell on Zhang Shou, "Teacher, how does this library work normally, do you have a corresponding method?" ”

Under the blazing gaze of the third prince, Zhang Shou stepped forward leisurely and immediately smiled.

"I heard that there are many book collectors among the people, the library building covers several floors, covers a vast area, the collection of thousands or even tens of thousands, the management is strict, however, there are often rules, within three generations of descendants men can enter, female dependents are all isolated, outsiders want to see but can not get. No matter how many books you collect, the beneficiaries can't even have a family name, let alone anything else. ”

"Therefore, the library pavilion like the Jianxian Pavilion has become like this now, at most, it can only be said that it is mismanaged, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to be too harsh."

Seeing that when he said this, including people like Yue Shanchang who were familiar with him, they were surprised, and the others were full of incredulity, especially the scholars of Guozijian, whose faces were even more complex and subtle, Zhang Shou smiled casually. That smile, combined with his outstanding appearance, is very heartwarming.

"In the final analysis, that's because the name of the Library Pavilion is destined to be only shelved in the first place, but not really useful. Since the real rare books are all stored in the ancient and modern collection library in the palace, what kind of books are in the library of the country's prince's prison? I just flipped through it casually, and found that it was such as the Four Books and the Five Classics and various commentaries. ”

"Since it is not a rare book that needs to be collected solemnly and cannot be read by ordinary people, then instead of letting the Jianxian Pavilion continue to decay, why not turn this place into a book lending room that can be used by the prisoners? After screening the books here one by one, replace the decayed books and buy those books that are necessary or commonly used by the prisoners, even the popular current anthologies. ”

"Then, I listed the books one by one, numbered them, and hung them on the wall as a catalogue for borrowing......"

Zhang Shou calmly talked about the various borrowing rules of the modern library, this kind of calmness as if it was at his fingertips, and the three academy chiefs who had been summoned to the capital by the emperor before couldn't help but feel heavy while listening and thinking attentively.

Although their academies also have all aspects of support for ordinary students, and teachers will occasionally lend books to promising students, although the academies have real library pavilions, they are also not open to ordinary students, and even ordinary teachers may not be able to enter. After all, the Library Pavilion is the foundation for many scholarly families, and for the academy, it is also the foundation!

And the kind of book lending room that Zhang Shou said is to reduce the library to the level of a bookstore in the market, of course, there will be no messy legendary books or even erotic love books. But most of the bookstores in the market are purely for profit, and they will never allow ordinary people to stand there and read books, let alone copy books, of course!

And after Zhang Shou finished talking about the idea of the library, he saw that Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye's faces were clearly very unsightly, so he said lightly: "If Da Si Cheng and Shao Si Cheng feel that this is against the original intention of the Guozijian Library Pavilion, then half of the Jianxian Pavilion has half of the books and half of the books, then it is actually okay." Moreover, the book can only be read on the spot, not taken away, and can also reduce damage. ”

"And because the borrowed books have to be registered, we can regularly count which books are really urgently needed by the inmates, and originally only have one book, and then we can purchase more books. This can also be regarded as a kind of book satisfaction survey for those booksellers. ”

Zhang Shou paused, and then said in a casual tone: "You must know that Lu Xijiu personally raised funds to build the scripture hall, and he plans to donate some rare books and rare books that he treasures at home for the bookstore to typeset and print. It is expected that when the library opens, there will be more than 300 kinds of books. ”

"And counting those sets of books with a large number of volumes, the total collection can probably be a few thousand volumes."

He casually said a number that made everyone around him silent, and then said with a smile: "Of course, Zhao Guogong's Mansion is also very supportive of this kind of good thing that can help students, and Mrs. Tai, Zhao Guogong and Mrs. all said that they are willing to take out rare books at home and choose the right ones to typeset and print." In this way, it is possible for the reader to see books that are not available on the market. ”

At the beginning, it was said that Guozijian could rebuild the borrowing room for the use of the prisoners, but then he suddenly changed his words and said that Lu Juan's scripture calculation hall was in vain.

However, no matter how fast they reacted, they still had to think about it, but a certain bear child shouted without thinking: "Teacher, if the scripture hall is built in the future, how many people can sit in it?" ”

Seeing the expression on the face of the fourth prince who was very interested, Zhang Shou winked at the bear child: "It should only be a hundred seats, right?" After all, this is just getting started and can't be too greedy. If it goes well in the future, you can expand it. ”

Hearing such words, not to mention Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye, even many East Palace lecturers were instantly discolored. In this case, the library can accommodate a hundred people to borrow books to read or copy books, it is definitely a behemoth! Not to mention, Zhang Shou actually said that it could be expanded!

It is conceivable that people from rich backgrounds may be able to resist such temptations, and those who are born poor and literate and hyphenation, but suffer from no more ways to read, how can they not rush to it? Zhang Shou had a borrowed book that was circulated outside!

The third prince didn't look at those people with different faces, he grabbed the four princes who were full of excitement and dragged the people behind him, and then nodded lightly and said: "What the teacher said about this borrowing method is indeed very reasonable, and after returning to the palace alone, I will definitely report back to my father." If it is really possible, it is a good thing for the benefit of future generations. ”
