golden scales

Lu Wang Zhu Yihai originally had a literary name, because of his long history Zhang Yaofang, it is also the meaning of the title that he has a deep relationship with a great talent like Zhang Dai.However, if he really thought that he was going to Beijing to play with Zhang Dai, then the crown prince would not have to roll around in the court.

"Lu Fan failed to come after hearing the imperial edict several times, and his crime was not trivial. He asked Zhang Tiansun to go to Beijing with him, and it was nothing more than borrowing Zhang's Yuze to find someone to help him excuse him." Zhu Cihong said clearly.

Zhu Yihai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, burst into tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, I am really dissatisfied with the environment in Zhejiang. I have been on the sick bed for a long time, so I was not able to be called! Please learn from Your Highness."

Zhang Dai was also panicked, not knowing why the crown prince knew he could save King Lu.Although it is very face-saving to say this, it is always taboo to be known by high-ranking people.

"Mr. Die'an came to Beijing for nothing more than looking for old family members. However, people in the officialdom go to drink tea. Although Uncle Ling has Cai Ze's talent and seems to have traveled around the family of powerful officials, he still lacks a little foundation after all." Zhu Cihong turned to Zhang Dai and said.

Zhang Dai bowed himself and said "received teaching", his heart was beating like a drum, and he thought to himself: This crown prince, unexpectedly knew that I was going to find the way of the third uncle, it really is as the rumors say, if you are not a saint, you are a demon!

"Why don't you just come to me and beg me? Not only will I not accept money from you, but I'm more reliable than those civil servants. At least I'm from my own family." Zhu Cihong originally wanted to call Zhu Yihai a home gift, but Zhu Yihai was the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen , and it is the descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, so there is no need to surrender his status.

"Your Highness!" Zhu Yihai immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Cihong, crying, "Thousands of words are all here!"

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Get up. You brought Mr. Die An here today, and I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that he was useful, Zhu Yihai stood up tremblingly and sat next to Zhang Dai.Zhang Dai also sat upright, not daring to sweat.

"That's right, what is the price of books in Jiangnan?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Zhang Dai was very familiar with this, and quickly responded: "The price of books varies according to the type of book. Generally speaking, legendary novels are more expensive, such as "Feng Shen Yan Yi" sells for five taels; It is much cheaper, ranging from a few cents to one tael of silver; there are also ancient books of the predecessors. If you encounter a rare copy or a rare copy, it will be hard to find a thousand dollars, and it all depends on the intention of the buyer and the seller.”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "The ordinary scholar may be rich in buying books?"

After Zhu Cihong asked, he found that Zhang Dai was a little strange, and immediately realized that he was asking the wrong question.How can a purebred rich kid like Zhang Dai interact with ordinary scholars?As for affluence... people who spend a lot of money, do you know what affluence and poverty are?

"I'm afraid that not every scholar can afford books." Zhu Cihong said to himself: "The country wants to control the price of rice at two taels and one stone, which I already think is too high. A copy of "Fengshen Yanyi" costs five taels .Where can an ordinary well-off family afford it?"

"Your Highness, not everyone wants to buy idle books. Classics and contemporary texts are relatively cheap." Zhang Dai said, "Many good collections of contemporary texts in Zhejiang are only worth three to five cents."

"I don't think those books are very interesting." Zhu Cihong said: "How many words are there in the Four Books and Five Classics? One person only reads so much. No matter how thoroughly he reads, he can't understand by analogy, and his achievements will be limited. Shi Wen, which was read later, was cited as a tribute to the country. I only read it from the old gentleman. Do you think reading should be more extensive or more intensive?"

Zhang Yaofang was in poor health when he was young, so Zhang Rulin did not ask him to study and improve himself, but personally tutored the ancients.This kind of scriptures that are not within the scope of the imperial examination questions, whether it is "Sun Tzu's Art of War" or "Yiwen Leiju".They are all included in the ancient texts.Facts have proved that although Zhang Yaofang struggled on the road of imperial examinations and was only in the second place after forty, his personality and knowledge are among the best in the Zhang family.

"And the price of rice in the Northern Song Dynasty was about three times the price of books, but now the price of rice in the Guo Dynasty is about the same as the price of books. Doesn't this mean that the culture and education of the Guo Dynasty is not as good as that of the Song Dynasty?" Zhu Cilang laughed.

"However, the bibliography published by Guochao Shusi is far better than that of Song Dynasty." Zhang Dai inevitably wanted to speak for Guochao.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand: "I think not only scholars in the world need to read books. Reading can help people understand the world, and it may not only be in the sages' theories. But books that can persuade people to be kind and understand etiquette should make people understand. Read it. Merchant, farmer, but it's always good to have a book to read."

Zhang Dai said with a smile: "In Cheng Yi's "Yi Zhuan", he explained that "the man is poor if he is not rich" and spurred it into it with "all three Yangs lose their place". Every time I think about it, it is really hard to let go."

The anecdote that Cheng Yi was taught by a barrel maker is widely circulated, so there is an idiom "Miao Shou Jiang Weng", which means that people who are fluffy should not be underestimated.

From another point of view, it is the manifestation of peace in the world and prosperity of culture and education that people can not take being an official as their top priority, and prefer to live in a lowly job and devote themselves to academics.If the common people are desperate for food, only use reading as a stepping stone, and refuse to open books to cultivate themselves once the rice bowl is in hand, it will also be the end of civilization.

"In the past, the national change was when the situation was poor. Now that the country is established, we should not slack off at this point. We must turn our backs on ourselves three times to avoid embarrassment again." Zhu Cihong said: "I think that culture and education should be the first. Think about it Mister also heard about the female Ding Ke in the south of the Yangtze River."

"The grassroots think that female Dingke is so funny!" Zhang Dai suddenly cheered up: "How can there be a fallacy that men are superior to women in general human relations? Why did the ancients call their wives famous? It's because wives are equal! Your Highness can teach women to make women It can be used for the country at the same time, which goes straight to the purpose of "education without discrimination"! It can show your talents in the examination room, why not serve the country as an official?"

Zhu Cihuang didn't expect Zhang Dai to be a supporter of his own policy, and he didn't know the truth at the moment.However, considering Zhang Dai's deviant thinking, it may not be impossible.

"Your Highness, it's just that the threshold for female Dingke is too low, and I'm afraid that there will be redundant staff and officials in the future."

"Don't worry about this matter." Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Obtaining a diploma is just a stepping stone. If you want to be an official, you still have to choose the best. The more people who get a diploma in the future, the more people there will be for selection."

Zhang Dai was rather disappointed: "Isn't that going back to the old way of selecting officials through the imperial examination?"

Zhu Cihong shook his head slightly, the National Talent Ceremony is not something that can be abolished just by abolishing it.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was thought that the promotion of new learning and the abolition of the imperial examination was a kind of progress, but in fact, the officials in the Republic of China were either Qing Dynasty veterans, or they had a higher starting point, and it was easy to enter universities at home and abroad for further studies.The people selected in the end, at best, are well-versed in both Chinese and Western cultures, but to put it bluntly, they are actually those who have been educated traditionally.

After the reform of the Red Dynasty, the civil service examinations have been heating up year by year, and one out of a thousand has become the norm. Isn't this the resurrection of the imperial examination?

At present, all Zhu Cihong can do is fine-tuning.The imperial examination is still to be held, but the selected Jinshi cannot be directly appointed as an official, but must study in a political college, called "Xizheng".Then assign six departments to conduct internships according to the traditional "political observation" system, and only those who are outstanding in the final evaluation can be promoted.The previous situation where the School of Administration could assign officials to officials in various counties will also change due to the increase in the number of people and the decrease in actual shortages.

"The matter of selecting officials can be discussed slowly. If you want to gain something, sir, you can write an article and submit it to the "Emperor Ming Bulletin." Zhu Cilang smiled, and brought the topic back to his own track again: "The reason for looking for sir is because I want to Please sir preside over the National Library."

"library?"

"Collect the books of the world for the people of the world to borrow."

Zhang Dai took a deep breath, and the hairs all over his body exploded. He only felt that the crown prince who was not as good as the weaker crown in front of him, stood upright and stood upright, which made people look up to him.

In ancient times, there were many emperors and princes who edited books.In ancient times, there was "Wen Xuan" written by Prince Zhaoming, and in the imperial dynasty, there was "Yongle Dadian" written by Emperor Chengzu.However, it is such a noble ambition and such a huge mind to aspire to build a huge library, where people from all over the world can gather and borrow books.

"There are good book collection houses in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them build their own library buildings. Even relatives and friends want to have a look, and there are many questions. If His Highness can really achieve this cultural and educational event, Dai is willing to devote the rest of his life to it!" Zhang Dai bowed.

Zhu Cihong said: "Let me talk about the library regulations first."

In the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to apply the library management system of later generations, so this also made Zhu Cihong really spend some time thinking.First of all, the deposit cannot be collected. Many people cannot enter school because of poverty. If the deposit is collected on top of this, it will inevitably become a threshold.Therefore, if we want to put an end to non-return of borrowed books, we have to open another vent.

"The public will provide paper and pens, and allow him to copy books. Anyone who copies two copies can keep one copy, and the other copy belongs to the copyist." Zhu Cihong said: "The copying library has a canteen, which can provide simple meals for copyists. "

Zhang Dai nodded again and again, this was obviously a benefit for the scholars of the Han family.And it is equivalent to hiring a free copyist, the library can save the cost of copying and rigidity, and can also ensure the increase of inventory.

The second is the fire safety of the library.In this age of open flames, it is a pity that many amazing private libraries have been destroyed by fire.Even libraries with various fire-resistant materials in later generations must pay great attention to fire protection. What's more, wooden furniture is basically used now. Once a fire occurs, generations of painstaking efforts will be destroyed.

For this point, Zhang Dai has a lot of experience.There are more than [-] volumes accumulated in Zhang's collection of books for three generations.Without good fire prevention habits, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"However, the library collects books mainly today's books. It does not keep rare ancient books." Zhu Cihong said: "The rare ancient books that will be collected in the future will be stored in the Royal Library together with the rare books of the royal family." Zhu Ciwang looked forward Xiang Lu Wang: "You have a huge collection of books, and you are the head of the clan. How about managing the Royal Library for me?"

This is why Zhu Cihong pardoned King Lu.Although it is possible to directly take Lu Fan's collection of books, it will inevitably be too ugly to do so.If Zhu Yihai is appointed as the curator of the Royal Library, on the one hand, he can take advantage of his passion for books, and on the other hand, he will not be afraid that he will not enrich his collection of books.

How embarrassing would it be if you only guarded an empty house?

If it is expensive by the royal family, there are not many town hall treasures in the library, and it is not as good as the private collection of a rich family, it will lose all face!
