The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 308 Three Years ([-])

After the completion of the Bowen Museum, Xiao Nan specially set up a trial operation in order to build momentum, first let the readers know that there is such a place, and then it is officially put into use.

Neither Xiao Nan nor Cui Youbo expected that within two days of the opening of the Bowen Museum, it would immediately cause a sensation in Luoyang.

At that time, there was no printing technology, and there was no professional publishing. All books were hand-copied, and the scope and speed of circulation were also limited by geography.

Even the manuscripts are kept in the collections of great families and dignitaries. It is difficult for ordinary people to read really good books.

At a time when books are so precious, the Cui family opened their doors and showed everyone their collection of books for free, and allowed them to copy and take them away.

For those who love reading, this is simply great news. Those who heard the news greeted their relatives and friends, and rushed to Huaqingfang together.

The area of ​​the Bowen Museum is not small, but it cannot withstand the influx of so many people at once.

Moreover, because it was a trial operation, many details were not prepared enough, and many problems occurred. Many scholars were so excited on the spot when they saw the book, they ran to the side to read it, and after finishing one, they went to the second one. Forget about Bowenkan's rules.

In the end, even the courtyard was full of people who were obsessed with reading. Most of them refused to leave after reading, and people outside could not come in. As a result, people who came later had to queue up in front of the door.

Because there were too many people running, the queue changed from one queue to two. If Marquis Wu hadn't forced the evacuation of the crowd because he was worried that there would be too many people blocking the traffic, these people would most likely line up in several queues.

The line was very long, from the Bowen Museum at the innermost side of the alley to the intersection on the other side of Cui Li, which is where Su Mao and the others are now.

After listening to the scholar in white, Su Mao nodded thoughtfully, thanked the scholar, and walked back.

"Su Lang, what happened in front? But is it related to our mission?"

The person who spoke was a fair young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, his name was Wei Tan, and he was also a student of the Hongwen Museum. His family and the Su family were family friends, and the relationship between the two was relatively good on weekdays.

Su Mao simply told the other three companions the information he had inquired, and then said with some concern: "Looking at the situation, there must be a lot of visitors in the Bowen Museum, and Cui Lang is keeping his filial piety in the mountains, so I wonder if we can carry out our work normally. "

Su Mao naturally knew what the prince sent them to do, but seeing how crowded Cui Qu was, he could guess what was going on in the Bowen Museum without looking.

Whether it is sorting out the books or the final compilation, there must be a quiet environment. Now that the Cui family has become like this, can their tasks still be completed?
Hearing Su Mao's worry, Wei Tan and the other three were also a little worried, but what made them depressed was that the whole alley was already crowded with people in just a short while, and their horse team couldn't get through at all.

At this moment, several young people came from the alley on the other side. The leader was dressed in a moon white fine linen robe with wide sleeves. He had handsome features and high spirits.

These people walked up to Su Mao and the others, and asked, "May I ask you, are you a student of the Hongwen Museum?"

Su Mao was startled, then came back to his senses, and said back: "A certain Su Mao, who is a student of the Hongwen Museum like these three gentlemen, doesn't know your surname, how can we know our identities?"

The visitor smiled slightly and introduced himself: "A certain Zheng Qin is the cousin of Cui Youbo and Cui Suchun. A student from the Hongwen Museum came to help, but because something happened to the Bowen Museum, I couldn’t meet him at the gate of the city, I’m really sorry, and I hope you gentlemen don’t take offense.”

As soon as Su Mao heard that the other party's surname was Zheng, and he was Cui Youbo's cousin, he knew that Zheng Qin was from the Zheng family in Xingyang, so he quickly smiled back and said, "Mr. Then we received the crown prince's order to come to help, and we are all our own family... Hehe, speaking of it, I, the Su family and the Zheng family are related by marriage, and we are most likely cousins."

Zheng Qin saw that Su Mao was gentle and polite, and he looked like he wanted to befriend him, so he didn't stretch out, but reported his family name with a smile, so that the other party could know his family name.

Su Mao is also good at genealogy, and he is very familiar with the genealogy of several major families. When he heard Zheng Qin recite the genealogy, he also hurriedly talked about his own family's situation.

After chatting, Zheng Qin and Su Mao were really cousins. According to their joint research, Zheng Qin had an aunt who married Su Mao's cousin. Although they were far away, they were still relatives.

All of a sudden, the two became cordial, and their conversation became a little more casual.

While continuing to chat with Su Mao, Zheng Qin led several library students and a dozen guards to the alley on the other side.

Su Mao found that they were going in the opposite direction to the Bowen Museum, so he pretended to be casual and asked: "Just now Qi Guang (Zheng Qin's words) said that something small happened to the Bowen Museum. But he still has strength, maybe he can help Qi Guang."

Hearing this, Zheng Qin smiled, and said, "It's not a big deal. The Bowen Museum is currently in trial operation, so it's not well-prepared. Suddenly there are so many visitors. The servants in the museum are out of control for a while, and there are some minor problems... ...I have ordered someone to solve it, and added a few new regulations, and now the museum has returned to normal."

Su Mao didn't believe it, he looked back at the winding queue, didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear - if the problem is solved, why are these people still queuing?

Zheng Qin is such a shrewd person, how can he fail to see Su Mao's doubts, he slowed down, as if waiting for something, and said: "However, Su Lang also saw that there are too many people queuing outside, the restaurant Although the internal problems have been resolved, the space in the Bowen Museum is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to enter for a while..."

Just as he was talking, there was a figure shaking in the crowd at the other end, and a few boys in indigo-colored coarse cloth were holding a large number of bamboo sticks in their hands. While talking, they handed the bamboo sticks to the queue people.

Su Mao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this for?"

Zheng Qin smiled complacently, and said: "The servant is holding a special bamboo stick for the Bowen Museum, and each bamboo stick is engraved with a number. The Bowen Museum can only accommodate 200 people to read and copy every day." , In order to prevent everyone from crowding in and disturbing the order in the museum, there are new regulations in the museum. At the beginning of every day, the servants of Bowen Museum will distribute bamboo sticks in front of the door, and the first 200 people will enter the museum with bamboo sticks. Now the servants are ordered to hand out the bamboo sticks for tomorrow, and those who get the bamboo sticks can enter the museum directly tomorrow."

Su Mao pointed to those people who lined up. According to his visual estimation, there must be more than 200 people in this group.Looking at Zheng Qin puzzled, he said, "There are more than 200 of them."

Zheng Qin nodded and said: "I didn't go into details just now. These bamboo sticks are divided into four types of 'Tiandi Xuanhuang', each with [-] sticks. Tomorrow, the bamboo sticks with the number 'Tian' will be used, but I haven't received Tiandi. For those with the name, they will be given the name of the place, and the name of the place will be admitted to the museum in the future..."

Su Mao understood, and followed Zheng Qin's words, and said: "By analogy, we can ensure that every scholar can read the book, and maintain the order in the library and Cui Li... Hehe, Qi Guang really has quick wit."

It is indeed a talent to be able to discover and solve problems in such a short period of time. No wonder Cui Youbo entrusted him with such an important matter.

Su Mao thought silently in his heart, but his face showed admiration.

Zheng Qin smiled indifferently, waved his hands and said, "It's just a trick, it's nothing worth it. Let's go, let's go to the Bowen Museum first, and let's go in and talk about the specific things."

A group of people followed Zheng Qin into the Bowen Museum through the side door, and came to Zheng Qin's exclusive study room. The five sat on the floor and began to talk about the affairs they were responsible for.

Both sides are smart people, and they have clear explanations from their respective masters, and their respective powers are also very clear. During the discussion, there is almost no big difference——Su Mao and other students from the four halls lead a team according to the categories of classics and history subsets. The scholars recruited by the Cui family translated and copied ancient books, while Zheng Qin was responsible for reviewing, proofreading, and finally binding them into books.

After confirming their respective responsibilities, Zheng Qin introduced the scholars selected by Cui Youbo from the Cui family to the four library students, and then began to work separately.

After a few more months like this, the work of the Bowen Museum has also entered the right track. Zheng Qin and the students of the fourth library also transcribed hundreds of volumes of ancient books, and more and more books were sent to Cui Youbo.

On this day, Zheng Qin sent over a dozen sets of newly transcribed books, all of which were transcribed and bound on hard yellow paper of the same size. The neat new books, just looking at their appearance, felt very formal and quite It feels like a model for later generations of publishing houses.

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan were very satisfied after watching it, and felt that the hard work during this period was not in vain.

Moreover, according to the reports of the subordinates, the reputation of the Bowen Museum is getting bigger and bigger, and now even scholars from Chang'an are rushing to Luoyang.

Scholars gathered in sackcloth like snow, and you could see groups of scholars in any corner of Luoyang City, which was comparable to the grand occasion of the Spring Festival in the capital.

Because there is a limit on the number of people in the Bowen Museum, not all people can enter the museum to read books, so many scholars gather in major wine shops and teahouses to discuss literature, discuss poetry, write and paint, and even the entire Luoyang city is in short supply of pens, ink, paper and inkstones stand up.

This allowed Wang Chengping and Zhou Zhoulang, who had made full preparations in advance, to earn a lot of money. Of course, Xiao Nan, the behind-the-scenes boss, earned even more money.

Busy with these things, Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo didn't feel that the days of keeping filial piety were boring and hard, but rather enjoyed the feeling of being a little busy in this calmness.

The husband and wife were flipping through the newly copied book, and there was a little maid running outside the door to report——

"Lang Jun, lady, someone from the city has reported that, saying that Yu Ye is about to give birth!"

Both Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan were taken aback, no, Yuye is not due yet, how, how did she give birth? !

PS: Well, it’s too much, a new plot will start soon, please continue to support it!
