The rise of the poor

Chapter 405

Under the sympathy or gloating eyes of everyone, Zhu Ping'an finished the report, and led by the guards to the place where he will work in the future-Zangshu Pavilion.

Zangshu Pavilion sits north and faces south. From the outside, it looks like two floors, but actually there are three floors inside, and there is a hidden layer in the middle of the eaves.Zangshu Pavilion occupies a large area, the size of six rooms. It is built with blue stone bricks and covered with black glazed tiles. The entire Zangshu Pavilion does not have any wooden structures. It is for fire prevention. Even the black glazed tiles are also for fire prevention. In the eyes of the ancients, black dominates water, and water is used to extinguish fires to protect the safety of Zangshuge.

A pool was dug outside Zangshu Pavilion, with blue waves rippling inside. Once there is a fire in Zangshu Pavilion, water can be taken from the pool nearby to put out the fire.

This place is very good, why do everyone look at me with sympathy and gloating?Zhu Pingan stood outside Zangshu Pavilion, a little puzzled.

The guard led him into Zangshu Pavilion, where there was a set of tables and chairs on the left side of the hall of Zangshu Pavilion, where Zhu Ping'an would work in the future.Apart from Zhu Ping'an, there are three low-level servants in Zangshuge who are responsible for looking after books and classics. They are basically responsible for cleaning and nursing, and Zhu Ping'an has to do the main filing and sorting tasks.

After entering Zangshu Pavilion, Zhu Pingan probably understood why other people looked at him with sympathy or gloating.

As expected, there are so many books in the library, there are countless books, there are tens of thousands of books on this floor alone, and the arrangement is a bit messy.Some of the books in the cabinet are neatly placed on the bookcase, but many are stacked in stacks in the bookcase, seemingly out of order, and some books are even scattered in the cabinet.In addition, the golden nanmu bookcases in this Zangshu Pavilion are beautiful and beautiful, with a kind of uneven beauty, but they are not practical. They are not as easy to search and use as the bookshelves in modern libraries.

Zhu Pingan took a general look at the upper and lower floors. The books of the Yongle Dadian series are relatively neatly arranged, but the arrangement of other books is not flattering.In short, compared with the modern well-organized library, this library is like a group of headless flies.

Zhu Ping'an had just settled down in Zangshu Pavilion when Zhang Siwei and another editor of the Imperial Academy came together. Veteran.This person's name is Zhang Bo, and he and Zhang Siwei are fellow villagers, and Zhang Siwei is considered lucky to work directly with the fellow villagers.

"Ahem, why is it so messy?" Zhang Siwei couldn't help but sigh after entering the library, looking at the vast sea of ​​books in front of him.

"The third floor is even more chaotic, do you want to open your eyes?" Zhu Ping'an smiled.

"Farewell, when I come to help you clean up in the future, there will be opportunities to watch." Zhang Siwei shook his head, and then introduced his senior fellow to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Pingan rinsed the teacups and tea sets with his hands, brewed a pot of tea, and entertained the two of them to sit down and drink tea.The tea is the common tea provided by the Hanlin Academy for everyone. If you don’t like it, you can also bring your own tea from home.Zhu Pingan did not have high requirements for tea, and felt that the tea from the Imperial Academy was enough.But when Zhang Siwei was drinking tea, he said that next time he would bring some good tea from home and share some with Zhu Pingan.Zhu Pingan didn't refuse either, and thanked him in advance with a smile.

"Zihou, do you have a feud with Mr. Li?" Zhang Bo asked, holding up his teacup.

Zhu Pingan shook his head, and told what he had guessed about the scene in the Jinluan Palace. There was nothing ulterior about it, and there was no need to hide it.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Bo nodded upon hearing the words, and then whispered to the two of them, "It's no wonder that our dean is at odds with Mr. Yan Ge the most, preconceived ideas, even if you explain it, it may backfire, but Lord Li is not unreasonable, after the misunderstanding is resolved, Zihou can leave this place of exile."

"The land of exile?" Zhu Pingan looked at the books in Zangshuge, still a little puzzled, "Although it is tiring and time-consuming to organize and file this Zangshuge, but with so many books as companions, it is not too difficult Is it called the Land of Exile?"

"Hehe, you're still young." Zhang Bo smiled upon hearing this.

"Why?" Zhu Pingan was even more puzzled.

"What else is there besides books and classics?" Zhang Bo explained, "Besides, do I still read few books in the cold window of ten years? You are still young and have just entered the officialdom. Do you think you will still insist on reading after you become an official?" How many people can there be? Many people have almost forgotten the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and there are many things to do after becoming an official."

"Our Imperial Academy is a noble place, but I didn't hit you, Zihou. Your archiving of ancient books can be described as a place of complete exile. The reason why our Imperial Academy is called a storage place is because of the daily work of our Imperial Academy. It’s just daily work, it looks like it’s dealing with political affairs, but in fact it’s more about exercising government abilities and increasing knowledge.”

Zhang Bo is a chatty person. After taking a sip of tea, he explained to Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Siwei the ways of working in the Imperial Academy in a simple way.

"Let me give you an example. For example, I am now in charge of drafting the edict. Well, by the way, I am the one who drafted the edict that ordered the imperial edict to secure people." Zhang Bo put down his teacup and looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile on his face. meaning.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Zhu Pingan thanked again and again.

"Wherever it is, it's all a matter of duty." Zhang blogger smiled, and then continued to explain, "Let's get down to business, the imperial edict issued by our sage should be drafted by the cabinet, but in fact it is not The Hanlin Academy is in charge of it, and I am also responsible for part of it. This kind of drafting of imperial edicts is not a simple drafting task. This kind of work can help us adapt to government affairs, deepen our experience, and understand our Daming affairs after a long time. familiar."

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Siwei nodded involuntarily.

Seeing the reactions of Zhang Siwei and Zhu Ping'an, Zhang Bojue was very satisfied, and he became more energetic when he spoke, "For example, Ziwei is now in charge of the Song Dynasty Records. The work of compiling the Song Dynasty Records can increase the in-depth understanding of the political allusions of the Song Dynasty. The more you know, the more you will understand how to govern. In addition, there are lectures on Jingyan in charge of the Hanlin, which can increase our understanding of the court ritual system and the important affairs of the country. At the same time, this lecture can also increase our The relationship with the Holy Majesty left an impression on the Holy Majesty, which will be of great benefit to us in the future. Oh, by the way, it is a good opportunity to meet scholars and dignitaries in our Imperial Academy. Sometimes, we will also participate in court meetings and political seminars. It can deepen our understanding of the current political situation.”

"These are good opportunities for us to accumulate experience and exercise our abilities." Zhang Bo concluded after taking another sip of tea.

Zhu Pingan refilled Zhang Bo's teacup in a timely manner. Zhang Bo nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "There are countless opportunities to work in our Imperial Academy, but there are some exceptions to Zihou's job. There is no oil and water. , The errands are cumbersome and hard, squatting in this library pavilion, the opportunity to connect to the outside world is gone. What can you do with archiving books and classics, and there is no opportunity to contact the holy majesty and dignitaries in this library pavilion. "

"Oh, by the way, you can also see how messy it is. Some books are hard to find like a needle in a haystack. Our Holy Majesty sometimes sends a piece of paper asking our Imperial Academy to provide a certain book. Tsk tsk The first two in charge of classics Hanlin was scolded miserably. The predecessor Liu Hanlin spent a lot of effort and almost lost his fortune to change his position because of his relationship."

No oil, no opportunity, no exercise, tired and cumbersome, and the key is that you will be scolded and punished.

Well, this is the source of other people's sympathy or gloating.

"Not at all." Zhu Pingan said lightly after taking a sip of tea after listening.

"Not so?" Zhang Bo opened his mouth wide when he heard the words, shook his head and said with emotion, "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, ah, it's nice to be young."

"Zihou, bear with it. After a while, I will ask my uncle to intercede with you." Zhang Siwei thought that Zhu Ping'an was comforting him, so he patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder to comfort him.

Uh, what I said was true.Zhu Ping'an was speechless.

"It's not completely exiled, isn't the Holy Majesty still passing notes to find books." Zhu Pingan said.

"Stop, you'd better pray to the sage not to look for the book." Zhang Bofang looked at Zhu Ping'an as if he saw a lunatic, and exaggeratedly stretched out three fingers, "To tell you the truth, as far as I know, the sage uploaded it three times in the past three years. Finding a book with a note is as difficult as ever, let alone you. The previous few times, our Imperial Academy went to the Hanlin Academy, and the shortest one took a day and a night to find. Every time I was scolded by the bloody sprinkler , the most pitiful one was Liu Hanlin, who was beaten with a court rod, tsk tsk, that's miserable."

But
Anyway, I worked as a librarian in Daming, and Zhu Pingan looked at the collection of classics and history in the building and said silently.
