Chapter 863

Some people in Kyoto say that Wang Annan and his wife are so obsessed with making money that they have reached a state of selflessness. One is in the business department and is crazily making money; the other is thinking about doing business just after confinement.

This is sickness!
One of the patients, Hua Jingyun, has been so busy recently that he has to receive the Emperor Nanhuan and his envoys in addition to the business affairs of the Ministry of Commerce. He desperately hopes that his two big brothers who are full of eyes will come back quickly.

Wen Mianmian, the second patient, was busy receiving the elderly from various families. On the first day of the party, Mr. Zhao led a middle-aged man with a very bookish atmosphere to the palace. Mr. Zhao introduced: "This is Jiang You Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang used to be a teacher in the Imperial College, and he has been at home for two years when he was in trouble at home. His best hobby is reading, and he has a lot of experience in collecting books.

"I came to the door today because I saw that the newspaper office was recruiting the manager of the library, so I came here specially to apply."

Dr. Jiang bowed his hands, "My favorite hobby is reading books. I have some experience in storing and organizing books. I also have a good way to prevent moisture, fire, and insects from books."

"Before I came here, I went to see the library under renovation in Huabanli. The princess overlooked one thing. The first thing to do in the library is not to use wood, but to use bricks and tiles. Wood is prone to insects, and wood without insects is expensive. Even better, if it’s wood, you have to add insect-repelling medicinal materials to the oil, and if you want to read books frequently, you have to read them even if you don’t read them, and there must be extremely strict regulations on the use of fire.”

As soon as Dr. Jiang introduced it, Wen Mianmian was suddenly enlightened. It seemed that this collection of books really had a lot of mystery.

The two chatted for a while, and Wen Mianmian also introduced the library to Dr. Jiang. Dr. Jiang was a little surprised. He could read good books by paying a membership fee, which was a blessing he could not have wished for.

"What books need more printing?"

Wen Mianmian said with a smile: "It's up to the person in charge of the book collection to judge and select valuable books. We will ask the people in the printing workshop to print more, so as to avoid the dilemma that I can't read a book when you read it."

In this way, Dr. Jiang wants to join the library even more, "If the princess thinks it is feasible, I am willing to join it even if there is no monthly fee."

Dr. Jiang said that he is not short of money.

Wen Mianmian was very satisfied, he was a good guy and was recommended by Master Zhao, Wen Mianmian hired him on the spot, of course, a monthly fee was a must.

"Dr. Jiang came at a good time. Tomorrow I invited the elders of various families in the city to go out and play. I will also mention the matter of asking the elders to donate or sell books. You should come with me."

Dr. Jiang smiled and said, "My father also received the invitation from the princess. If the princess is for books, I suggest that the princess should not say the word 'selling books'. In the eyes of the elderly, it is an insult to books. Don't be afraid to talk about money, boss. People might think it's an insult to a sage."

Wen Mianmian is in a dilemma, how can someone publish a book without talking about money? If someone donates, she takes it to collect membership fees, which is a bit ugly.

Dr. Jiang reminded, "Old people are very interested in going out for fun."

Wen Mianmian was stunned and had an idea, "Why don't I organize a meeting, but anyone who donates more than [-] books can become a member, and various activities will be held frequently, at least once a season, and tea, snacks, pens, ink, paper and inkstone will be used. etc. are provided by the library, and the specific theme of each event must be adapted to local conditions."

"So good."

Dr. Jiang clasped his hands together, "May I ask the princess, if I have officially started work today?"

Wen Mianmian smiled and nodded, "It's time to go to work. Later, I will ask the manager of Yuantai to draft the documents and sign them before the library opens."

Dr. Jiang turned around with a happy face and bowed to Mr. Zhao, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your recommendation."

Mr. Zhao was humbled a few times, feeling very beautiful in his heart.

On the eighth day of September, it was golden autumn, the sky was blue, the forests were dyed, the osmanthus was fragrant, and the flowers were as lively as before. Just halfway through the time, the parking lot at the entrance was full of carriages, and the drivers had disappeared. No trace, maybe he went shopping.

On the Wangjiang Terrace, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the willows are lingering. There are many old people sitting or standing in the teahouse with the best view of the river.

Wang Shoufu's old father said, "This old man has been here before, and he never felt that there was anything special about this area of ​​the river. It seems like a lifetime away when he comes back today."

"Hahahaha~~~" Mr. Qin's old father smiled, "I am a regular visitor here now, come here often, just sit here to have a cup of tea and watch the vast river, seabirds circling, and listen to the surrounding tea drinkers say This trivial matter of life is rare to be elegant and vulgar."

Mrs. Wang snorted twice, "Old thing, you don't know if you have such a good thing, come and call me."

Lord Gu's silver-haired old father leaned over, "Old Wang, you don't read newspapers in the mansion?"

"Before the opening of Huabanli, there were two consecutive newspapers promoting it. We look forward to your arrival."

"My Excellency also comes here often, hahahaha~~~"

Wang Shoufu was very angry, of course he also read the newspaper, he naturally knew about the opening of Huabanli, and he also complained about Wang Annan and his wife's control of the newspaper office and did not share the worries of the court. .

He was also curious about Hua Banli, and asked his son, what did his good son say?

It's just a street where you want to make money by opening a shop, so what's the big deal about it?

He believed it!

How could I know this is the case, seeing things is still believing, no wonder the emperor also came.

Elder Qin's heart is like a mirror, and he cheerfully told him about the benefits of this place.

The empress dowager watched for a while from the guardrail and then sat back, and the old ladies who followed her also came back and sat down with smiles, and some old ladies said, "When I was in the mansion, I also basked in the sun in the yard, and I felt quite comfortable. My son came here for a while, and felt that the sky was higher and the ground was wider, which made me feel much happier."

All the old ladies around said yes, and the free and easy old lady said, "When I was in the mansion, I saw all those children and grandchildren that made people's eyes hurt. Today, seeing all the old sisters, I feel very happy. "

"If you want me to say that the row of smoked willows in front of you is in the way, I should cut them all down."

Just after serving Xiao Yuluan, Wen Mianmian came back and heard this sentence, covering her heart exaggeratedly, "Grandma Yin, you can't cut down my willow tree, it will be of great use."

Mrs. Yin smiled happily, "Your willows are in the way, we can see farther without these willows."

Wen Mianmian smiled and said, "How beautiful my willow tree is. This willow is so soft that it can also shade."

Mrs. Yin originally said it as a joke, but Wen Mianmian echoed a few words, and the old ladies around her also started talking.
