Chapter 270 Zhang Fei screams
"Is there really a military book?" Lu Bu was very excited, really excited. It was really difficult to see military books in this place. Even those big families in Wuyuan County or Yunzhong County still have military books at home.
"Shh, you can't speak loudly here." The front desk clerk immediately reminded him when he saw this. The latter also knew the tactful and shut up. He probably got used to this situation. The clerk was not too angry, but just replied in a low voice, "It is said that there are many, and the prefect memorized them by the prefect while studying in Lantai for a few days. Editor-in-chief Cai proofread it and thought it should be a word of mouth."
"Hiss..." Lu Bu was a little surprised. Liu Tao's memory was so terrifying that he could memorize Lantai's military books. If it were him, it would be great to read the whole book in three days. After all, if you don't have a sentence, don't even think about it!
The little official looked at Lu Bu's shocked look, but he looked proud, as if he was as powerful as him.
Then he remembered something and whispered: "By the way, at present, the library is more about outsiders reading books. Local people, unless they hear that there are new books coming to read, most of them go to the stationery shop opposite to buy books." The little official pointed to the opposite door.
Only then did Lu Bu remember that before coming in, there were many people who went to the shop opposite to buy things.
Without delay, I went there directly and found that there were many books here, many of which were very new. He saw "The Analects of Confucius", which should be the first time he saw in Wei Xu's family. It was bound into a book with paper, which was more than fifty volumes of bamboo slips in Wei Xu's family.
"Is this the whole content of the Analects of Confucius?" Lv Bu picked up a book and asked. The book was thin. After opening it, he found that a page was written in the 4th letter of the later generations, so he could write about two hundred words.
"It's true. There are also larger fonts, but the price will be more expensive. I won't deny it, and it looks much more comfortable. At the same time, there are more white space, which is very suitable for commenting next to it." The store owner replied.
Although woodblock printing has been released, most of the printed books are transported to Luoyang and Jizhou for sale, otherwise they will be sold in Taiyuan and Shangdang, and other prosperous counties.
Those who are directly retailed are basically copied by scholars from Yunzhong County. They are divided into several types according to their purpose. For example, those who are purely for practicing calligraphy, purely for reading, and for convenience of annotation...
For those who practice writing, the number of pages will be more, and the number of words per page will be smaller, leaving some equal spaces. [Xinbiquge www.xsbiquge.info] is of course a one-time use, and the price is also relatively expensive.
The one Lu Bu picked up is the money-saving version. The disadvantage is that the font is small, inconvenient to annotate, and not very convenient to read. It is just that the price is placed there. Compared with the 100-word version of the pure reading version, this book only costs 80-word.
Excluding paper, pen and ink, you can earn around 30-40 quotas, which is actually not bad.
Lu Bu was a little different from other border troops. He had married and had won many battles, so he still had some money on hand. If he had a bachelor like Wei Xu, his money would have been gone long ago.
After weighing the pros and cons, he bought several books and really wanted to buy them. I was really moved when I saw the content of the book, because every sentence in it was already read!
God knows that in order to divide the sentences, he almost made Wei Xu feel doubtful about his life. As a result, it seems that the sentences he divided are at least 40% wrong...
"Buy so many books..." When Wei Xu came out, he couldn't read it anymore, "You can't plan to be a civil servant or something?"
"Anyway, there is nothing to do after drinking, chatting, riding horses and hunting." Lu Bu said casually, then opened the Analects of Confucius, pointed to the sentence above, and said, "Not to mention that the sentences you divided before were so many wrong."
"I swear I didn't divide the wrong division!" Wei Xu quickly explained to prove his innocence. "This is how the teacher I hired for my family divided the sentences."
"So that's it..." Lu Bu turned back to the title page and saw the lines above: The sentence reading of this book was criticized by Your Majesty, and the standard version of the Han Dynasty. I didn't understand what it meant before, but now I understand.
It turns out that the standards for each scholar to divide sentence reading are different... So, if it was changed, which one would be considered a standard? If it was not standard, then is it not because they could become officials?
After suddenly realizing that the world of scholars was so dark, Lu Bu felt even more that he had to hug Liu Tao's thigh tightly. If he missed it, he might encounter it again, which would be very difficult!
Then I realized that the library was the biggest mockery of the current gentry. Immediately, I was a little worried. Is it really okay for Liu Tao to openly provoke the entire gentry like this? Is this a thigh or a dead end to an endless desolation?
This is actually the case in the border counties. Personal gains and losses, interests are paramount, and the strong are respected. No one has told them to be patriotic, and no one has told them that behind them is their own compatriots.
On the contrary, if they don’t do this, they will be eaten up by the “border counties”. Kind people are not suitable for border counties or border troops.
With such a complicated mood, he was even a little absent-minded in the following time. Fortunately, Wei Xu reminded him that he bought some cloth for his wife at home. In fact, he was more thinking about whether to rent a house if he settled here, and whether the money at home would be enough to buy a house.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. The two of them went back to clean up, and then came to the government office. A banquet had been set up here. Because Wei Xu was also on the list, he was allowed to come to the banquet.
Those who attended the banquet this time were all core officials of the county or future core officials.
It just so happened that Huang Zhong also came back to report on the reconstruction of Beiyu, so he also attended the banquet together... It was a coincidence. After all, it took two days to return from Beiyu.
"Fengxian, here you are here! Come on, hurry up and take your seat..." Liu Tao saw Lu Bu coming, went out to greet him in person, and apologized to Wei Xu next to him, "By the way, this is Wei Xu, right? I haven't recognized him before, it was Liu's fault."
"The prefect doesn't need to be like this. Wei is just a team leader. He really can't afford such a great courtesy of the prefect." Wei Xu was a little flattered. After all, his identity is really nothing compared to Lu Bu.
"History and identity cannot represent anything." Liu Tao said to him seriously, "I am optimistic about your future achievements, so please work hard!"
"My subordinate must, must..." Seeing that he was about to come with Lu Bu, he was naturally under Liu Tao's command. Wei Xu felt that he was floating and enjoyed this feeling very much, but he did not forget to make some politeness.
"Everyone, I'll introduce you." Liu Tao then turned around and introduced to everyone, "One of these two is Wei Xu, who is very promising among the border troops; the other is Lu Bu, who is the strongest and most potential and powerful in the border troops."
