Chapter 156: Walking Through the Green Mountains and Growing Old (2)
After Jia Huan promised Luo Xiangyang, he went to the library of Wendao Academy the next morning to learn about the situation. www.biquge.info he hadn't been to the library to borrow books in a while.
There are two reasons for this. First, he now has plenty of money and can buy the books he wants, and second: he has no intention of becoming a master of scripture. At this stage, the study of the Four Books and the Five Classics is the most fundamental purpose of the imperial examination. Extensive reading and study did not improve or effect much for him.
The library of Wendao Academy is located in the old campus, and you can enter from the main gate of the academy and go east through a long corridor. A two-storey wooden building. It was in charge of two Saifu in their forties. The main daily work is to protect books, register the entry and exit of students of the college, borrow books, etc.
Luo Xiangyang sent someone to the two Zhaifu last night. When Jia Huan arrived on the first floor of the Library Pavilion, Liu Zhaifu, who was going through the borrowing procedures for a student at the door, greeted with a smile: "Ziyu, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." Brother Luo and I are dying of sorrow. ”
Jia Huan smiled, "Uncle Liu, you are busy first." "Liu Zhaifu and Luo Zhaifu, who manage the library, are both old men summoned by the mountain chief Zhang Anbo. I spent ten years in the academy and got used to this kind of life. did not follow the mountain chief to Zunhua to take office.
The student standing on the side was obviously not an old disciple of the academy, so he greeted politely, "Student Jia also came to borrow books?" This is the respect for Jia Huanyue's fifth place in the exam, as well as the curiosity about his fame in the capital.
Jia Huan smiled and nodded, "En." Come and have a look. "He had no idea of having a cult of personality in Wendao Academy. It's a pretty good state. If you really go out and meet a disciple of the academy, it is a respectful salute, and then a sentence of "head of the academy". How boring this life is!
With the expansion of Wendao College to about 600 students, the heart-wrenching disaster relief deeds in July and August last year slowly faded and disappeared in the college, becoming stories and legends in the mouths of students. People who have not personally experienced the disaster relief cannot appreciate the generosity and heroism in the half-rung "Qinyuan Chun-Qia Classmate Youth".
Of course, his influence on Wendao Academy did not fade.
Liu Zhaifu laughed, happily completed the borrowing procedures, and walked to the library with Jia Huan, introducing the situation. The library is divided into two floors, the first of which is a collection of books on the Four Books and the Five Classics. The second layer is miscellaneous books, which belong to books that expand the scope of knowledge.
Liu Zhaifu took Jia Huan around, and when he went downstairs, he pointed to the chaotic books on the shelves. Sighing and said, "Originally, there were only more than six hundred books in the Library Pavilion, but now there are four or five thousand books at once, and Brother Luo and I really can't bear it. Last time, Professor He sent someone to ask for a collection of Tang poems, but he couldn't find it, and he lost his temper. ”
Jia Huan turned around, knew in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu and Uncle Luo work hard. It stands to reason that the expansion of the number of books in the Library Pavilion will indeed require some additional manpower. I went back and discussed with Mr. Ye, Senior Brother, and Luo Junzi. ”
"That's for the best." Liu Zhaifu replied and looked at Jia Huan again.
Jia Huan knew what Liu Zhaifu meant, smiled, and said confidently: "Uncle Liu, I will find someone to help tomorrow, and I can tidy up the library within a day." ”
Liu Zhaifu was slightly surprised, but when he thought of all the incredibleness on Jia Huan, he didn't question it, and said with a smile expectantly: "Then I'll wait to see Ziyu use his methods." ”
Jia Huan laughed and said goodbye and left.

After the restructuring of Wendao Academy, it is no longer mandatory for students to live in the school. The main gate, the back gate, the south gate, and the east gate are not allowed to enter and exit daily. Most of the rich and noble children live in Dongzhuang Town. Jia Huan is also a day student and lives at home at No. 49 North Qianfang. It is only a few hundred meters from Beiqianfang to enter the new campus of the academy, which is very convenient.
After Jia Huan left the library, he went straight home to think about the library's tidying up plan. At noon, Qingwen came into the study and called him for lunch. In the past few months, three more rooms have been built in his lonely compound. One of the rooms is a study.
Jia Huan put down the pen with a smile, "It's here." When she arrived at the restaurant, Aunt Li had already set up the meal: a large bowl of shredded green pepper pork, stewed chicken soup, flavorful mutton, tofu, and green vegetables. Although it is not as delicate as that in the Ning and Rong Mansions, it is very rich.
The restaurant of Wendao Academy was contracted by Miss Lin, and although the food was good, it was better than the food stalls she opened in the town. But it is naturally worse than a small stove made at home. Jia Huan is coming back for dinner these days. He just went to Ningguo Mansion more than a month ago and made a fortune, and he had 5,000 taels of silver tickets on his body, so he naturally refused to treat himself badly in life.
In the afternoon, after Jia Huan wrote the plan, he went to the dormitory of the disciples in the new campus of the academy to find Yi Junjie and asked him to help find 50 students to sort out the library tomorrow.
After the expansion of the academy, there are about 600 people, and Yi Junjie is still the "bag inquirer" in the academy. This seems to be his innate talent: he is very good at making friends with people, plus a gossip heart. Jia Huan asked him to find someone, and soon pulled 50 people. When I came to Jia Huan to eat here in the evening, I reported the news on the way.
The next morning, the scorching morning sun fell through the dense woods on the seowon building on the hill, and the light was spotted.
Jia Huan, Yi Junjie, Zhang Sishui, Ji Cheng and others gathered to the library with paper, ink, and brushes, and packed the library to the brim.
Liu Zhaifu and Luo Zhaifu glanced at each other, there was no place to stand, and said with a wry smile: "Ziyu, what do you want us to do, you command." ”
Jia Huan smiled: "The two of you give me the book roster, and then sit down." ”
After getting the roster, Jia Huan first sent his sorting plan to be circulated. Yi Junjie watched it last night. Jia Huan wrote another notice and posted it outside the library pavilion: There will be no borrowing matters for the time being. Then meet in groups to discuss and supplement the plan.
The old disciples of Wendao Academy felt this familiar style of doing things, as if they had returned to the passionate years of disaster relief last year. And the new disciples were very curious. After the discussion, the group implemented Jia Huan's plan.
Originally, the books in the library were categorized by content. This is not a problem in the management of libraries with less than 1,000 volumes. After the number of books skyrocketed, the management of the library by two people seemed stretched and chaotic.
Jia Huan's method is that all the books are indexed by the first word and sorted according to the rhyme of the poem. The rhyme of poetry can basically include the commonly used words of Chinese characters. This is not difficult for the academy disciples who have studied poetry and rhyme. If it is not in the rhyme, there will be another column.
50 students were divided into groups, divided into blocks, and synchronously classified, recorded, and sorted out the books. The work was soon in full swing. In the library pavilion, there was a sudden sound of "dong dong" footsteps, and shouts came and went. There are about 5,000 books in the library, and with the addition of 100 books per person who have been borrowed, it can be completed.
Jia Huan led a team of four people to coordinate in the center to improve the efficiency of each group. At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, after more than 4 hours of hard work, all the work was completed.
Looking at the neat bookshelves and the large book roster that was re-recorded in their hands, Liu Zhaifu and Luo Zhaifu both felt a little breathtaking emotion in their hearts. This... It's a bit of a demon. If you don't accept it, you can't!
Ji Cheng, who skipped class to help, looked at Jia Huan with admiration. Yi Junjie wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Brother Jia, the matter is done." It's time to make good on our promise and invite us to a drink. ”
Jia Huan smiled: "Everyone has worked hard. We're going to go to the Scholar Restaurant now. ”
"Oh---!" The students burst into laughter. The point is not the reward for dinner, but the fact that you can get acquainted with Jia Yuanshou.
…
…
When Jia Huan and the others were feasting in the scholar's restaurant, in the Shanchang Courtyard of the new campus of Wendao Academy, Ye Hongyun was drinking tea and chatting with old friends who came to visit him. It happened to talk about the movable type printing recorded in the predecessor Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Pen Talk".
Ye Hongyun said with a smile: "Brother Juyuan, there is a book of Mengxi Writings in the library of my academy, which can be taken a look. It's just that the library has been a bit chaotic lately, and it's a bit troublesome to find books. You and I will sit down and talk first, and I will let the scholar go. ”
Brother Juyuan was a middle-aged man in his thirties, handsome, with a long and beautiful beard, and nodded with a smile, "It's okay." ”
About half an hour later, the scholar who went to the library came back with a few slightly worn copies of "Dream Creek Writings".
Ye Hongyun was surprised and said, "Why is it so fast!" "Half an hour away on the road, this is too fast to find books, right? (To be continued.) )
