Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms
Chapter 16
Putting aside the complicated issues in the north for the time being, Nan Xing's gaze is only focused on Luoyang, which is sinking like stagnant water.
Just as she was lighting up the lamp to read at night and was preparing for tomorrow's Taixue meeting, there was the sound of a servant's light door frame outside the door.
"Young master, tomorrow the stone inscriptions of the classics will be erected in front of the Taixue gate, do you need a slave to rub a copy?"
The sage ordered the Confucians to revise the Five Classics literature. A few days ago, Cai Yong finally announced that the proofreading was completed, and they erected a stone tablet outside the gate of Taixue.Nan Xing had already known the time of the stele's completion through Taixue, and let the spies and paper merchants all over the nearby states and counties publicize the matter in advance, and said that they "knew" that the paper shop could provide rubbing services to attract customers.
Books are so precious now that most people don't even have the opportunity to read them.Ordinary poor scholars can only read a few books in their entire lives, and more precious texts are family heirlooms for high-ranking scholars.
Now that Confucian scholars such as Cai Yong, a famous scholar, are correcting classics, it is a good opportunity to have a look at the classics.Most of the scholars would come to have a look, and some humble scholars who couldn't afford books even planned to copy the classics by hand ----- unfortunately bamboo slips are also expensive.
Now, the "Learning" paper store provides such services. Ordinary bamboo paper is not very expensive, and most scholars can afford it. Naturally, the sales volume is very good.
Nan Xing planned to go by himself, so naturally he didn't need the servants to print another copy, "No need, just keep an eye on the shops tomorrow so that nothing happens."
The servant led away.
Last month, Nan Xing had already discussed with Cai Yong about the book rubbing.
"You ordered your servant to rub it and then sell it to others. Wouldn't it be more profitable?" At that time, Nan Xing had already negotiated with Cai Yong, asking him to agree to rubbing the text of the stele.
The atmosphere at this time is not against doing business, but the gentry have servants to do it for them, and few young masters of the family manage it personally.But thinking that Nan Xing is the eunuch's adopted son and his status is not high, Cai Yong didn't care.
"The boy received the emperor's grace to sell paper, and it was only to support the family. No matter how much he earned, a solar eclipse would only be two meals." Nan Xing smiled slightly, "If I can do something for the world's scholars, my wish is fulfilled. You It is a rare opportunity to study in person, but you must know that the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again!"
"Dancing Elephant boy has such a heart, which is rare in the world." You personally practiced it, and it is a rare opportunity to shake the stag in your hand, confirm with a smile, and then ask with a little doubt, "I just don't know 'the opportunity is never to be missed, and the time will never come again. 'From He Dian?"
Nan Xing was stunned for a moment, and replied calmly, "I was taught by Mr. Ciming when I was young, and this is what I said in casual conversation. The boy deeply felt the truth and kept it in his heart." Of course, Xun Shuang did not say this, but Nan Xing It cannot be said that this is what Jin people said a hundred years later!
The two didn't chat a few words, Nan Xing got up to leave.
"Mr. Ciming has great virtue, and his disciples also care about the world!" After Nan Xing left, Cai Yong said with emotion to his daughter Cai Zhaoji who came to serve tea.
"My daughter heard that Mr. Nan is the stepson of an eunuch, and his status is low. Why did my father make such a comment?" Cai Zhaoji, who was still young, asked in confusion.
"We judge the level of morals and knowledge by family status. It is only because we have inherited family education since we were young and have elders to guide our studies, so we are better than others." Cai Yong stroked his beard and calmly educated his daughter. "But the child of the Nan family is not in the name of a genius in the sky. His mind and knowledge are not inferior to a high school."
"In the future, never judge others by family status." Cai Yong finally warned Cai Zhaoji.
"My daughter is educated." Zhaoji thanked her, keeping her father's words in her heart.
Naturally, Nan Xing would not know about the conversation between Cai's father and daughter.
She is currently crowding among the scholars and watching the stone tablet that has just been erected.The side of the stele was crowded with gentry children from other prefectures and local Luoyang, and most of the gentry were holding rolls of bamboo paper in their hands.The quality of this kind of paper is not high, it is slightly yellowish and thicker, it does not meet the standard of Nanxing at all, but it is cheap and has a long storage time.It is the first choice for poor scholars to print books.
At this time, there were no "ceremonies" of later generations. After the stele was erected, the lecturers of the Taixue left one after another, giving space to the scholars who were thirsty for knowledge.
But such a big event still needs to be celebrated.After a while, a high platform will be set up at the entrance of Taixue for scholars to discuss and talk about scriptures.As a student who "jumped a grade" into the court this year, Nan Xing must give a speech on stage.
But before that, she huddled in the crowd to see how the scholars were printing books.Thanks to Nan Xing's order to publicize properly, the people at the scene were crowded with people, and the order was extremely chaotic.
Unable to stand the crowd, Nan Xing gave up the idea of watching the stele, slipped out of the crowd and walked quietly to the artisans who were preparing to print the book.
These craftsmen are good book printers picked by Nan Xing from Biezhuang.They have already been trained as professional moveable type printers by the school's textbooks, the Biezhuang Notice compiled by the Southern Star Organization, and other printing tasks. Now it is no problem to be transferred to print stone tablets.It's just that I'm used to the orderliness of Biezhuang, but I'm not used to the chaos of these scholars at the moment.
"Organize it, let those scholars line up and start printing books." Nan Xing found the steward of the printer and gave instructions.Then she left pretending that she was just asking about something——except for a few people, no one else knew that she was the owner of the "Zhaoran" paper shop.
However, there are still a few interested people who have noticed something strange.
When the stewards station organized the scholars to line up in order, there were three people dressed as scholars who were not in a hurry, and were a little abrupt among the rushing crowd.
"Didn't Gongda keep guessing who the shopkeeper behind the 'Knowledge' is? Now that I see it, how do you feel?" A young man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and teased the young man beside him who was much older than him.
The young man did not rush to answer, but frowned slightly and said, "Feng Xiao, I am older than you." It would be too impolite to call him directly.
"I'm in the same generation as A Yu, so I'm still Gongda's elder!" The young man was obviously familiar with such accusations, and without hesitation, he moved out the young man who was around his age.
Sure enough, Xun You stopped talking to him, and turned to look at the handsome young man next to the young man in Tsing Yi, "I don't know what my little uncle thinks of the shopkeeper?"
Xun Yu, who was the target of the filial boy's teasing, smiled gently, "A strange man."
Xun You nodded yes.This "Zhaoran" paper store opened in Yingchuan very early on, and the Xun family also bought a lot. He and his uncle would always go to the store to read paper, and soon became familiar with the work in the store.
In fact, the two were not particularly curious about making bamboo paper. After all, it was just an improved technique, and skilled craftsmen would discover it after years of work.What makes them curious is the management and accounting of the paper store.
Those framed paper pages are called "account books", as well as well-ordered employee files, work permits, and a series of novel management methods have opened their eyes.
The servants in the shop have clear responsibilities and are serious and responsible in their work. Everything in the shop is organized, which is completely different from other shops that Xun You has been to.
They are naturally very interested in the people behind the scenes. When Xun Yu's friend Guo Jia and Xi Zhong found out about this, they became even more troubled.This time I came to Luoyang, firstly to see the classics corrected by the famous scholar Cai Yong, and secondly to try my luck to see if I can meet the "clear" shopkeeper.
It's just that they didn't expect to be so lucky. When they were looking at the stele, they accidentally ran into a suspected shopkeeper... a young man?
"By the way, aren't you going to print books?" Seeing that Xun's uncle and nephew were like this, Guo Jia curled his lips boredly and changed the subject.
"I've ordered the servants to go, and your copy will be printed as well." Xun Yu smiled lightly at this good-tempered explanation, looking at his friend who was a few years younger than him.My good friend lost his father when he was young, so he took the name butler early on, and he was intelligent and early-witted without anyone to discipline him, so he developed a loose and casual temperament. On weekdays, his friends are also tolerant and don't care about etiquette with him.
When the three of them were chatting, they found that Nan Xing had wandered to the back row of the line and was mixing with the line with a book.
Guo Jia seemed to have discovered something interesting, greeted Xun Yu and Xun You, and walked towards Nan Xing.
At this time, Nan Xing was mingling with the scholar team, listening to their comments on the book printing, and satisfying his little vanity.
"I don't know who did it, but this move is really a blessing to the underprivileged people in the world!"
"I heard that the shopkeeper of 'Learning' had a personal discussion with Mr. Cai, and the two agreed to use this as a blessing to the scholars!"
"The two great sages."
Hmm, Nan Xing nodded slightly, and smiled with satisfaction.The news she made the spies release is still very effective!
"This shopkeeper of 'Lawran' is really a strange person..." A somewhat immature voice suddenly appeared behind Nan Xing, "There are so many plans to come up with such a way to maintain reputation!"
Who said, I'm just preparing to get rid of Zhang Gui in the future!Nan Xing instinctively refuted in her heart, and then suddenly realized something.
How did he know?
Nan Xing turned around and saw a boy who was about the same height as her, and his voice should be a little lower than hers.How did the boy guess that she was the one who released the news?
"I don't know why brother said that?"
"Obviously---" the young man said bluntly with a long voice, and he accepted Nan Xing's address very comfortably, "How can others know about the private conversation? Mr. Cai is not a person who seeks fame, and he must let others know about it , it's the shopkeeper." His tone was sure, but he didn't know how sure he was.
"Guess ear?" Nan Xing asked with a teasing smile.
"Ninety percent sure." The young man smiled slyly and made a ninety percent gesture.
"Others are happy to have books available, but you are different from others. It is rare to see things by others." In modern terms, this is a tricky angle.
The boy was taken aback by what she said, and then he burst out laughing.The surrounding people all looked sideways.
This young man is good at guessing people's hearts, he is so sensitive at such an age, and in time he will become a major event.Could it be some historical celebrity again?
"I don't know how to call it?" Nan Xing asked tentatively.
"Mountain boy, it's not worth mentioning." Who knew that the boy shook his head and didn't say his name.
Just when Nan Xing was about to ask questions, there was a greeting from Dr. Taixue Lecture.
Gaotai Qingyi has begun.
The author has something to say:
Qingyi: Similar to Qingtan, but Qingtan talks about metaphysics, while Qingyi talks about politics.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qing discussions were more popular.
The stone tablet at the gate of Taixue is called Xiping Stone Classic.
Guo Jia should be 7 or 8 years old now, but because of plot issues, let him be born a few years earlier. (Stupid author whispers... making a sound of wanting to have a deep-in-communication with him
