"Have you heard it? A library is opened in the city, and you can view and copy books for free!" Such conversations have been mentioned the most in the entire Yunzhong County in the past two days.

For a moment, no matter whether I can read or not, I planned to go in and take a look. When I really arrived at the door, I found that there were only 500 people here. At the same time, there were no loud noises inside, otherwise I would be driven out by the guards.

After finally queuing in, I found that there were only "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Filial Piety" on the bookshelf. This was compiled and compiled by Cai Yong, who led everyone for a day.

"Why are there only two books?" Seeing this result, many people were a little depressed.

"The library has just been opened, so there are not many books that have been edited. I will add more books in the future. You can wait for a while before you come." Liu Tao spoke in person, which solved everyone's confusion.

Then he pointed outside, opposite the library and said, "There is a stationery store opposite the library, where paper and ink can be purchased there. If you want to copy books, you can bring your own and buy them there, and the price is fair."

After Liu Tao said that, everyone remembered that there was another store across the road today. I didn’t notice it before, but now I understand that it turned out to be a stationery store.

"Finally, if you want to copy books, you must ensure that your hands are clean. At the same time, you do not lose money when copying them, otherwise it will be useless to lose money..." Liu Tao looked around everyone, "Scholars do not cherish books, and it is reasonable to chop their hands. This official is not that cruel. The first time the ten boards are the first time, and the second time the qualification to enter the library is cancelled!"

It’s nothing to damage, it’s all in triplicate. The original version is hidden in another place and check and maintain regularly. The other version is placed in the library warehouse. If there is any damage outside, copy one of the books and take it out and re-place it.

The main thing is that I am worried about the situation of intentional damages many times. After all, there may be aristocratic families who hire some gangsters to come in and deliberately damage them.

Needless to say, it would be a big ten board to be fatal. There may be mistakes, but basically, it is better to make mistakes than let them go. Who made this the feudal era?

Needless to say, the last one was just to send someone to Luoyang and hand it over to Liu Hong. As expected, those guys in Luoyang have not even selected the editor-in-chief.

"In order to avoid some negligence, I will explain it slightly. There are slight creases and a slight damage, which will not affect the small stains of reading. These will not be punished for you." Seeing everyone staying away from the bookshelf almost as soon as possible, Liu Tao had to tell the backup plan.

When he said that, everyone was relieved. It was acceptable to have the opportunity to read for free. This is already a very precious thing. Who is really eager for knowledge and wants to read books?

It’s just hard to say that there is a sudden possibility that you will be in trouble, which is a bit unprofitable!

It's okay now, at least I can feel a little more at ease when reading books, so I'm thinking, take the book down and read it...

As a result, when they took the book and opened it, they found that the book was actually read in advance. They were very surprised and a little nervous. Is it really okay to divide it like this?

"The original purpose of Your Majesty setting up a library was to invite famous masters of scriptures to compile these books and divide sentences for all books. In the future, the scriptures in the world will be carried out according to this standard. Perhaps in the future, the evaluation and assessment content of talents will come from these books." Liu Tao looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and then came forward to explain.

That is to say, unify the standards. The biggest advantage of this measure is to lay the foundation for the imperial examination. After all, the books we read are the same standard, so whoever reads better and who has a stronger understanding ability will be highlighted.

By the way, he also promoted Cai Yong: "In our library, the editor-in-chief is a well-known scholar of classics today. Cai Yong and Cai Boyi, he once worked as a proofreader in Dongguan. He was the Xiping Stone Sutra outside the Luoyang Taixue, and he was the editor-in-chief of the proofreading and compilation of the Xiping Stone Sutra outside the Luoyang Taixue."

In other words, the standardization of the version of Confucianism was actually done by the imperial court. However, this was more of an unintentional act. At that time, it was just too many Confucian scholars copied it, so it gradually became the standard version of Confucianism.

If you have to say it, the Xiping Stone Sutra is only the "font" part used in the scriptures, it has nothing to do with the content, and there is no sentence reading. It is just that anyone can copy this for free, which is similar to the library model.

It is precisely because of one thing that Cai Yong almost became the most suitable editor-in-chief candidate in the library.

Upon hearing this, everyone was relieved, so they began to read it carefully. There was no sentence reading before, and it seemed really difficult to read it too quickly, so as not to have any problems with the division of sentences. After reading it for a long time, I couldn't understand the meaning.

It is much more convenient now, almost at a glance, and many things that I didn’t understand before seemed to have become much more smooth, and I had a lot of insights for a while.

For a moment, some readers shed tears as they read. If it were so convenient back then, why waste their time?

I read it once and wanted to watch it for the second time. I wanted to savor it carefully and slowly, but I found that I had more than one of them to see, and I couldn’t take care of them one by one. What should I do? What else can I do?!

I ran out smartly, and soon I bought all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone at the stationery shop opposite, and even sighed a few words. After all, the paper in this shop is really cheap!

Calculated according to the thickness of the Analects of Confucius, the required paper saves 40% of the expenses than the same amount of wooden box or bamboo slips required, and the key is that it does not take up space!

After asking carefully, I found out that the prefect had a papermaking workshop in Luoyang. In order to facilitate scholars in Yunzhong County, paper was sold almost at the cost price... The most flawed thing is that of course Liu Tao had the final say.

Of course, cheap paper is cheaper, better, fair, and better quality, so it is not cheaper. What you make is this kind of money, and the cheap ones, you need a small profit but quick turnover.

Good stationery earns one's prestige and one's identity. Text has a price, but identity is priceless. Can wealthy families still use the same stationery and paper as a group of poor people?

If the packaging is ready and the quality is good, the price is of course unlimited. For example, the best wolf hair pen, which is inlaid with gold, is priced at a price of ten cents, and it will not be sold if it is low! The cost is estimated to be less than 100 yuan, and the key is that it seems vulgar, but those nouveau riche will only take this one!

After a while, more than a dozen merchants came over and directly wrapped these more than ten sets of thirteen artifacts. Someone wanted to buy them later... Sorry, no, what I want is this effect! I want it, it's early next time!

"So, the library makes a profit by relying on this?" Xun Yu, who was stunned by the side, muttered.
