History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 9 Corporal Li

Hiding things in his heart, Feng Yun came back to his senses when he returned home and looked at a group of children coming to school.

But before that, the sister-in-law handed Feng Yun a piece of clothing wrapped in cloth.

"I'll give it a try after I finish the lecture. This piece of music is complicated and it will take me two days to make it for you."

"My sister-in-law has good hands, but don't be tired." Feng Yun took it, and it took two days to make a dress, and it was still a skirt. It was indeed made day and night, and Feng Yun was grateful in his heart.

But my sister-in-law just smiled.

"It doesn't matter whether you are tired or not. There is a scholar in the family. As my sister-in-law's help, I can't do much, but I can still do some sewing and mending clothes, as well as small and large solar eclipses."

"Master, hurry up and give lectures. The students are looking forward to it."

Feng Yun nodded, but also concentrated on speaking...

The lecture was fast, and after Feng Yun tried to fit the robe, he recalled the "Six Books" in his mind, and secretly practiced the strange seal script, hoping to enter the third-rate of the acquired world and officially become a foreigner.

Rest at sunset and work at sunrise.

Feng Yun has been summarizing for several days.

And with his technique of cultivating Tao, he also completed the study of the twelve volumes of "Six Books".

His strange art of seal writing has also reached the tenth level.

"There are twelve volumes, but the next two volumes are just comparisons and comparisons, with no new content."

It was an odd day, so Feng Yun ate early, went to open the door, and then continued to use bamboo slips to record the location of the book title.

He has not thought about which book to plant next. Anyway, he can complete the records of the books in the outer room today, and then choose the best ones.

"Nowadays, the countries are divided into different groups, and knowledge is the foundation of each country. I am afraid that even the Great Zhou Kingdom cannot hide the Book of the World."

Today's era is not the current world. Books from all countries are treasures and top resources.

Don't show it to others easily.

……

At noon, my sister-in-law brought another big meal, and after Feng Yun used it, she found that Uncle Zong was already sitting in the main hall, and the guardians of Tibet were busy and looked flustered.

It turned out that Uncle Zong was angry.

"I was slacking off yesterday, and today I was noticed by Uncle Zong." Feng Yun smiled and shook his head, day after day, this was not feasible for Uncle Zong.

Feng Yun noted the locations of the remaining books, and he was done.

I looked up and saw that it was already time.

"boom!"

"You can't bully me!"

In the main hall, there was a roar, and even Feng Yun in the outer room was shaken.

On the other side, the man who was guarding the outer room with Feng Yun hurriedly poked his head to take a look.

Feng Yun walked forward quickly and heard Zongbo's angry voice: "How could that book be missing? I put it next to the table the day before yesterday!"

"I said that the books on my left and right should not be touched without orders!"

"I don't care about your excuses, hurry up, go and find me again!"

"If you can't do it, it's everyone's fault!"

Uncle Zong was in a bad mood today. He snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, walked out of the hall and went straight to the inner room.

But when passing by Feng Yun, he paused.

He waved, and an older Shouzang Shi behind him hurried up.

"Go to the inner room and look for the third volume of "Nuwa Clan Chronicle" and put it on my table."

"promise."

After making arrangements, Uncle Zong entered the outer room and came straight to Feng Yun.

Feng Yun bowed.

Zong Bo said, "Has your book recording been completed?"

Feng Yun heard the sound and immediately said: "Except for those in the main hall, their locations are recorded on bamboo slips. The boy is preparing to sort them according to the root order of the "Six Books"."

"Hmm..." Uncle Zong pondered.

"Do you remember that there is also a volume of "Dating 110 Second Year Annals" in this outer room?"

Chronicles are local historical facts, which record the historical records of a place. Such books are the most common and most complete in the outer room. After all, they are the records of a country.At the same time, this is also the most collected classic in the history of Shou Zang, which lasts for hundreds of years.

Generally speaking, Shou Zangshi is reviewing and returning newly sent records every day.

It's just that I have been delayed these past few days because I was writing a biography for my predecessor.

Feng Yun recorded it, and he specially made a separate directory for Da Ting Zhi.

Feng Yun took out five bamboo slips from one place. Each bamboo slip has 65 pieces, and each piece is a year's record.

Da Ting Guo Calendar year 320, this year has not yet been put into storage, so there are 320 pieces of bamboo, arranged in five bamboo slips.

"The second year of Da Ting 110, in the second volume..."

Feng Yun opened the second volume, counted it afterward, and soon found it at the end.

Uncle Zong looked at it, and Feng Yun went to a remote corner within a moment and found the "Annals of the Second Year of Da Ting 110".

The annals are extremely important. They are usually written in four copies, and two copies are placed in the outer room of the palace. They are divided into two shelves. Move one and hide the other to avoid losing it and facilitate re-recording.

These guardians of Tibet did not often read these national annals, and they only knew how to move, but did not know how to hide. Therefore, they could not find a replacement for a long time, which made Zongbo angry.

The other copy is placed in the monarch's treasury for the monarch's convenience.

The last copy was left in the jurisdiction of the place where the incident occurred, so that the nobles could be relocated and later officials could check it.

Holding the "Dating 110 Second Year Annals" handed over by Feng Yun, Uncle Zong's expression softened.

Then he took the bamboo slips from Feng Yun's hand.

He praised: "One table of contents, one directory, you can find the book easily, it's good, it's good."

Although this matter is small, Zongbo has seen it since childhood.

He is the head of the ceremonial officials, so he must not be detained in a small place like the Palace of Classics for a long time. I don't know that the Palace of Classics is so chaotic.

They're all trash...

Now Feng Yun's move has won his heart.

"Does this method have a name?"

Feng Yun heard the sound and immediately said: "The catalog, as Uncle Zong said, one table at a time, you can find it by looking for the book."

"Okay, haha, now that you have succeeded, I will keep my word. From today on, you will be the courtesy corporal of this Palace of Classics."

"Thank you Uncle Zong for your support, I will definitely repay you."

"Haha, you should really have this intention to repay me, but it's not to repay me, but to repay the country, these things." Uncle Zong pointed to the bamboo slips in his hand.

"They are all belonging to Da Ting. Even I rely on Da Ting to be where I am today. So, you are the same. You must always remember to be loyal to Da Ting in order to be a repaying person and a virtuous gentleman."

"Yun, remember." Feng Yun didn't show it on his face and just said he remembered.

But to be loyal to the court, he must first be loyal to himself.

"Well..." Zong Bo looked at the sundial in the courtyard and understood that it was time for Feng Yun to get off work.

He said: "You go to the Household Registration Palace with the escort, and have someone make a corporal rabbit talisman for you, and then enter your household registration into the ranks of the gentry."

After waving, the guards outside came.

Judging from his attire, he should be a warrior, specializing in protecting Uncle Zong.

"Go." Uncle Zong took the bamboo slips and walked to the main hall.

In the hall, those who came with Feng Yun were speechless, their eyes were full of envy, and even more jealous.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Feng Yun became a corporal of etiquette, breaking away from the common people class in one fell swoop.

Not all members of the gentry were officials, but members of the gentry were supported by the state, and those with talent could enter official careers.

They do not engage in farming, but practice various skills, such as singing and dancing, or learning.

The more elegant it is, the more noble it is.

At this time, Feng Yun was just entering officialdom as a scholar, and was not yet a scholar.

Becoming a scholar will benefit oneself. Only by obtaining one's own land can one establish one's own clan of scholars.

Because this land is like a fiefdom. Although it is very small, there is no land tax to pay. It is the foundation of the clan.

When Feng Yun followed Wu Zhengshi to the Dating Household Registration Palace, it was not far from the Palace of Classical Records. It was also a palace under the rule of the monarch. It specialized in handling records between noble families, as well as official documents such as common people's household registrations and slave registration contracts. .
