Chapter 1012 Today I Am Proud of the Bookstore, Tomorrow the Bookstore Will Be Proud of Me! Life or Life?
Let everyone vent their joy, and when the noise faded again, Ying Chengjiao continued to speak: "Chang'an Bookstore is not just the work of this gentleman alone."
"I will not stay in Linzi for long, so I specially invite Qi Diaozi's son, Qi Diao Chong, to be the store manager of Chang'an Bookstore."
"In the future, the daily management of Chang'an Bookstore will be mainly managed by Qi Diao Chong."
Tang Min and other common people and powerful people breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that he won't stay for long, it's good that he won't stay for long!
The Confucian scholars showed some respect in their eyes, and they all bowed their hands: "Greetings to the Qi Diao store manager!"
Although Qi Diao Chong has no reputation in the world, he is the son of the leader of the Qi Diao school, one of the eight Confucian schools. In the current era of blood inheritance, scholars may not like Qi Diao Chong, but as long as Qi Diao Chong does not do anything disrespectful and shameless, scholars will give Qi Diao Chong some face.
More importantly, the atmosphere of the Qi Diao School and the family tradition of the Qi Diao family also made them believe that Qi Diao Chong would be a person who was impartial, honest, reliable, not flattering the powerful, and not despising the common people.
Qi Diao Chong also stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Meet all the great sages!"
Ying Chengjiao continued: "There are also 46 talents such as Gongyang Tao and Bu Zhe who are willing to help me and serve in Chang'an Bookstore."
"These 46 talents are all legal officials, who have the right to teach disciples and judge errors."
"It is because there are so many talents willing to help me that I can establish Chang'an Bookstore!"
Daqin has always strictly prohibited private teaching, and only legal officials are qualified to teach disciples.
But Daqin's legal officials are not enough, and Ying Chengjiao cannot transfer another batch of legal officials to serve in Chang'an Bookstore, which will make the already short-staffed official system even worse!
Fortunately, Linzi was Ying Chengjiao's fiefdom, and as a feudal lord, Ying Chengjiao had the power to appoint and dismiss officials in the fiefdom.
So Ying Chengjiao exercised his power as a feudal lord and promoted academics such as Gongyang Tao, who had passed the legal officer examination but had no ability to govern, to be legal officers in Linzi County. They received double salaries from the Linzi County Office and the Chang'an Junfu, but only worked in the Chang'an Bookstore.
Ying Chengjiao's move was in the gray area of Qin law. If someone else did something similar and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, it would probably be reported to Ying Zheng!
But for Ying Chengjiao, what's the matter?
Ying Chengjiao only knew that this move could not only make good use of academic talents like Gongyang Tao, but also benefit the people!
When the old soldiers heard that Gongyang Tao and others were all legal officers and had the power to teach people to read, their eyes lit up immediately.
The officials in the county office looked down on their children and were unwilling to teach them to read and write.
But the law officers under Chang'an Jun would definitely not do so!
Their children have the opportunity to learn to read, and as long as they can read, they can step into the Chang'an Bookstore and swim in the sea of books to seek opportunities to cross classes!
All the veterans bowed and shouted with the most enthusiastic attitude: "Greetings to all the superiors!"
Facing such warm cheers, Gong Yangtao and other law officers had red eyes and trembling bodies, and bowed in the most standard attitude in their lives: "Greetings!"
Then Gong Yangtao and a group of officials of Chang'an Bookstore bowed to Ying Chengjiao: "Thank you for giving us such a good opportunity!"
They thought that they would only be accompanied by green lamps, classics and poverty in this life.
They never expected that people like them would also be qualified to accept the cheers of the people!
Ying Chengjiao returned the greeting with a bow: "Thank you for your courtesy."
"You are cheered by the people today because they see hope in you."
"If you are still respected by the people one year later, that will be the real respect of the people."
"I will congratulate you and promote you vigorously!"
The enthusiasm in Gong Yangtao and others' hearts cooled slightly.
Today, they are just proud of Chang'an Bookstore. If they can make Chang'an Bookstore proud of them, that will be their own achievement!
Gong Yangtao and others bowed more sincerely: "We will not let you down!"
Ying Chengjiao smiled, turned to face the steps below, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"
"Chang'an Bookstore, stand!"
Both the common people and the common people bowed and shouted:
"Bright!!!"
Ying Chengjiao nodded happily and said in a deep voice: "There are many books in Chang'an Bookstore, and lights are strictly prohibited, so the store closes at sunset."
"And now." Ying Chengjiao smiled warmly: "It's not sunset yet."
Hearing this, the Confucian scholars took a breath.
What does Chang'an Jun mean by this?
Does it mean... we can enter Chang'an Bookstore now?
Under the temptation of reading the sages' books at the first time, a Confucian scholar took a tentative step forward, but Ying Chengjiao's family soldiers did not step forward to stop him.
This also made the Confucian scholars more courageous, and they all accelerated their progress with the four-way step, but when they stepped onto the circular steps, they unconsciously slowed down their pace.
Even though the old Qi State had perished, this circular staircase that only the important officials of Qi State could step on still gave them great psychological pressure, and Ying Chengjiao standing at the end of the circular staircase made many Confucian scholars tremble in their hearts.
Finally, a Confucian scholar walked in front of Ying Chengjiao with great psychological pressure, and bowed his hands with a strong sense of literary spirit in his heart: "Commoner Dai Li, thank Chang'an Jun for his kindness in opening up the literary spirit."
"It's not too late, Dai, please come to Chang'an Bookstore to have a look!"
Ying Chengjiao took a step to the side, made way and smiled warmly: "Please!"
Dai Li's eyes showed deep shock and ecstasy.
He was already mentally prepared to be scolded by Ying Chengyu for being greedy and aggressive, but he never thought that Ying Chengyu would agree to his request so gently!
Dai Li quickly raised his hands and saluted again: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
Then Dai Li subconsciously lifted up his lower skirt and raised his legs without even looking at Ying Chengyu's reaction.
It wasn't until Dai Li dropped his right foot and stepped on some broken wood that had not been cleaned up that Dai Li finally realized that Ying Chengyu had cleared the threshold to knowledge for them!
With his heart even more eager, Dai Li quickened his pace and ran into the bookstore, holding up a book with trembling hands.
Seeing Dai Li successfully enter the bookstore, the rest of the Confucian scholars' anxiety was greatly reduced, and their feet speed increased again. However, when they passed by Ying Chengyu, they would respectfully bow their hands, identify themselves, and then cautiously pounce towards the person. A pile of books filled with the fragrance of ink.
"So many books! It's useless for me to boast that I have read a lot of poetry and books. The total number of books I have read in my life is probably less than 30% of the books collected here!"
""The Lancet First Edition""? The name of this book is so weird, how come I have never heard of it... by Qin Chang'an Juncheng?!! Hiss~~ Come and take a look! This book is actually written by Chang'an Written by Jun!”
""The Lacquered Diaozi", "Gongyang Chunqiu", "Five Beetles", "Shuo Mouse", "Workshop Safety Code"... Who has seen the location of "Zhou Rites" and "Rituals"?"
"Brother, you haven't found "Zhou Rites"? I haven't found Zhou Rites either. Who has found "Zhou Rites" please tell me. I have borrowed "Zhou Rites" to the third volume. If any brother finds "Zhou Rites" "I can read it with my brother!"
Confucian scholars are like crocodiles in a melon field, immersed in the endless melons and unable to extricate themselves.
But when they gnawed open one of the melons with great expectation, they found that although the melon was tasty, it was not the taste they wanted.
After giving up on this melon and turning around to nibble on the next one, he found that although the next melon was equally tasty, it still didn't taste the way he wanted.
When the group of quails gnawed through the melon field, they were surprised to find that although there were many melons in the field and they were all very tasty, they could not find a few melons that suited their taste!
What they wanted to eat was a big watermelon, but it turned out that they were all big winter melons!
Dai Li, who was full of enthusiasm, looked back in astonishment and boldly asked: "May I ask your Majesty, where is the Rites of Zhou?"
Ying Chengyu calmly replied: "There is no "Zhou Rites" in Chang'an Bookstore."
Suddenly, there was an uproar in Chang'an Bookstore: "How can there be no "Zhou Rites"!"
"Everyone has "Zhou Rites" in their homes. Since the Chang'an Bookstore has six thousand volumes of books, how can there be no "Zhou Rites"!
"Is it possible that "The Rites of Zhou" is among the next batch of books to be shipped? Or maybe the servant was negligent and forgot this book? How can there be no such classic book as "The Rites of Zhou"!
Chang'an Bookstore, which has a collection of more than 6,000 volumes, does not have Zhou Li, just like Jerusalem does not have Tifa.
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Ying Chengxuan asked with a puzzled look on his face: "The imperial examination of the Great Qin Dynasty will not test "Zhou Rites"."
"The examination of the legal officials of the Great Qin Dynasty also did not test "Zhou Rites"."
"Why do you think there must be "Zhou Rites" in the Chang'an Bookstore?"
"Have the second and third sons been promoted to officials of the Qin Dynasty and don't need to care about the civil examination?"
"Or maybe you are already confident of winning the imperial examination and are actually interested in reading miscellaneous books?"
Everyone: Huh? ? ?
There seems to be nothing wrong with what Ying Chengyu said.
The reason why most Confucian scholars rushed to Linzi was for the examination for the civil service examination that was about to be held in Linzi City.
All their energy should be devoted to the examination, and everything they learn and think about should be related to the examination.
Since "Zhou Li" has nothing to do with the imperial examination, it seems that they, the candidates preparing for the examination, do not need to care whether there is "Zhou Li" in the Chang'an Bookstore... Wait! wrong!
That's "Zhou Li"!
Its status in the Warring States Period can be described as the "Rites of Zhou" of the Bible!
Why did it end up in Ying Chengxuan's mouth and become a miscellaneous book? !
Tian Huan, who never had a chance to speak, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Tian's family already has the Rites of Zhou."
"Tomorrow Tian will dedicate all his collection of books including "Zhou Li" to Chang'an Bookstore!"
Tang Min and other clans all looked at Tian Huan angrily.
Why are they so superior? Why can status and power be passed down from generation to generation? Why can Li Shu be easily controlled?
A very important reason is that they have knowledge!
The combination of Tian Huan's dedicating all the books in his collection and Ying Chengyu's unconditional borrowing of books is undoubtedly cutting off the lives of various wealthy families!
Tang Min and many other clan leaders immediately handed over their hands solemnly: "We are also willing to dedicate all the books in our collection to Chang'an Bookstore!"
The lifeblood is indeed important, but they can still distinguish the importance of the lifeblood and fate.
