Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 497 My Rockwell Book Collection May Not Be Too Many

Sima Qian looked up to where the sound came from, and saw two sons of the Luo family coming hand in hand, one was Young Master Qing, and the other was quite similar to Young Master Qing, whom he had never seen before.

Luo Qing introduced: "Tai Shi Gong, this is my elder brother, Young Master Bai.

Brother, this is what I call a great talent, former Taishi Ling Sima Zichang, a family of historians passed down from generation to generation.

This is a real historian. "

A true historian!

Sima Qian was taken aback, this was probably the highest evaluation, a pure person, a person who got rid of vulgar interests.

Luo Bai looked at Sima Qian again, and after the two greeted each other, Luo Bai said, "Tai Shigong, please follow Bai to meet your father."

Because Sima Qian's visit was private and not a business-to-business form, there was no need to be too serious, and the few of them walked along the road they had just swept.

Sima Qian found that although the inner city palace in Zhaocheng was much smaller than the imperial palace in Chang'an City, it felt completely different, and there was a magnificent and heavy feeling here all the time.

From every scratch on the wall, from every quaint building, a kind of antiquity emerges spontaneously, and then comes the sensory impact, which makes people feel awe.

Especially when passing by the Luo's Ancestral Temple, the brave warriors standing in front of the gate looked like sculptures, and there was a faint voice of chanting.

This is simply a holy place for writing history!
Sima Qian has already felt that his writing and thinking are springing up, and he can definitely write impassionedly and write a brilliant general history on the basis of ensuring historical facts.

The three of them walked and talked, and Luo Bai praised repeatedly. He was really blinded before, and he didn't think of this way of writing.

After a few more conversations, Luo Bai discovered that Sima Qian was not only able to come up with a new history book, but also had a strong literary talent. Even if he didn't want to be a historian, he could certainly be a novelist.

The same historical materials can be written very differently by different people. Rockwell hopes that more people will enjoy reading history.

The three of them walked into the house, and under the heat of the stove, there was an instant difference from the severe cold outside. They walked through a corridor, knocked on the door, and suddenly saw the light.

The decoration in the room is the usual simple style of the Luo family. Sitting on the front table is a man with a very dignified expression. He is the head of the Luo family and the contemporary Zhaogong Luo Sheng.

In the room, Mrs. Zhaogong and Wang Wenjun, who is all over the country and the city, are making tea together, and the aroma is overflowing.

"Father!"

Luo Bai and Luo Qing bowed in unison, then walked to the two sides and sat down.

Sima Qian took a deep breath, bowed and said loudly: "The foreign minister, Sima Qian, pays homage to the Grand Duke!"

Luo Sheng bowed his hands back and said: "Tai Shigong, please sit down, Ah Qing said in the letter that Tai Shigong wants to borrow my Luo family's historical materials?"

Sima Qian nodded and said: "The foreign minister's family has a lot of books, but compared with the Luo family, it is naturally far from enough.

Since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, the Sima family has been serving as Taishiling, and is familiar with court affairs, but the information before the founding of the Great Han Dynasty is not very clear. The only known source is the records of the pre-Qin and the ancient three dynasties among the scholars.

But the schools of thought are not historians, they exist for the sake of reasoning, and their records often have errors and deletions, so Qian hopes to watch the historical materials of the Luo family to ensure the authenticity of the history books. "

Luo Sheng pondered for a while and then said: "There is such a record in the history books of the Luo family that the crown prince of King Jie of Zhou was named Shu, and Shu's wife was beautiful, so King Jie...

How would you write this paragraph? "

Sima Qian knew this story. After all, one of the protagonists in this story was Chong Er, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. It was precisely because Chong Er participated in the chaos of the royal family of Bangzhou and helped the emperor ascend the throne that he completed the last piece of the puzzle to become the overlord.

He pondered and said: "King Jie polluted the royal family, causing resentment between the monarch and his ministers, father and son, Haotian will not tolerate it, and the patriarchal clan will not forgive it.

In the autumn of the 20th year, it was reported that Yu Luo, the king of Jie, was killed. This was not murder, but punishment! "

Not only to record things, but also to express attitudes from them. This is the original intention of Sima Qian to record history.

After hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded slightly and said to Luo Bai and Luo Qing, "Have a cup of tea, and take Tai Shigong to the storage room."

A steady person like Sima Qian bowed down with a trembling voice: "Thank you Grand Duke, grand duke is blessed forever."

Wang Wenjun, who was making tea, took down the teapot to pour tea for his father and mother, and then poured tea for himself. Luo Bai took the teapot and handed over the tea one by one.

Sima Qian was shocked by Wang Wenjun's face. He knew that Luo's daughter was beautiful, but there was absolutely no such thing as the woman in front of him.

Moreover, he has been in the palace for many years, and he is not used to seeing beautiful women, but compared with this beautiful and refined woman, who is like the white snow in Tianshan Mountain, they all seem vulgar.

His first thought was that such a strange woman beyond ordinary people's imagination should be recorded in his history books.

"Biography of Strange Women"!
Collect the talented, tolerant, virtuous, and meritorious women in the world.

After drinking a cup of tea, Luo Sheng saw off the guests, and the group walked out of the house. Sima Qian was surprised to see Wang Wenjun standing in the cold wind in a single suit, but he was not uncomfortable at all. He became more and more determined to write in the history books He thought that other historians did not have the opportunity to get in touch with Rockwell as closely as he did, so he must be perfect.

"Tai Shigong, the day you came here is very coincidental. If paper had not been created, the area of ​​the storage room alone would be as large as a palace, and the number of bamboo slips displayed in it could cover the sky, which is unimaginable.

After paper was created, the family has been transcribing some important classics, but this project is too huge, so many books of lower importance have not been transcribed yet. "

The invention of paper has greatly increased the convenience of carrying books, but it is still not easy for ordinary people to ask for a book. It is free to ask for a book from Rockwell, but Rockwell has requirements on character, and you have to prove yourself Morality, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are brought by themselves. The Luo family rarely does charity to the outside world, mainly to prevent the emergence of Doumi Ensheng Mi Qiu.

The Luo family has been transcribing books on bamboo slips, but one or two sheets of paper may be cheap, but it cannot support the Luo family's books. The cost is too high, and the manpower is not enough, so the progress of transcribing is really slow in Luo Shi's opinion. .

Sima Qian was stunned when he heard this, how many books should there be for such a huge duchy?

He'll figure it out soon!
The moment Sima Qian pushed open the door of the storage room, he lost his voice. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't make any sound.

Looking forward from where he was standing, there are rows of bookshelves, rolls of bamboo slips, and books bound by paper, row upon row. Looking at the end of the line of sight, there is a darkness, and the bookshelves go deep into it, disappearing.

Luo Bai looked at Sima Qian and said with a smile: "Tai Shigong and my Luo family don't have a lot of books. This storage room already occupies half of Bangzhou's thousand-year-old historical materials."

half!
This is only half?
Sima Qian now understands what Luo Qing said, the Luo family's collection of books is as vast as the sea, if he writes this history alone, he will definitely delete a lot of historical materials.

Looking at it now, there is absolutely no falsehood. Based on what he has learned about Bang Zhou's deeds from various sources, it may be at most one-tenth of what is here.

Rockwell.

How terrifying!
Luo Qing pushed the door open completely, stepped into it and said, "Tai Shigong, let me introduce the distribution of books here. When you want to collect books later, you can come and pick them up directly."

Several people walked in one after another. Luo Qing pointed to the bookshelf in the first row and said: "This is the first batch of countries that Bangzhou destroyed. I’ve heard it, just use it as a reference.”

Going forward again, Sima Qian saw some familiar handwriting, probably from the historical materials of other countries before King Zhou Yi. here.

Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism all used to draw materials here. Laozi, Confucius, Mozi, and Mencius realized Taoism and became holy here. The impassioned examples in their classics are all derived from it.

Tai Shigong, you have to work hard.

The opportunity to be holy, the No.1 opportunity of the historian, is right in front of you, and it will be listed in the temple of the sons, and all historians will worship you in the future.

You are talented and have the opportunity, it would be a pity if you don't make a fortune. "

The Luo family does not take the holy throne. Except for Luo Minggong who is special, among the various schools of thought, there is no Luo family sage.

Among the temples of the princes, there is only Duke Luo Ming.

Rockwell does not produce saints and sages, we are just builders and movers of saints and sages, and in this process, we harvest a little bit of the essence of wisdom.

Rockwell instinctively boasted.

Luo Shi also knows how to draw big cakes. These words made Sima Qian's heart sway, and a very beautiful picture scroll was displayed in front of him like this.

Moreover, Rockwell has always been a representative of credibility!

There are quite a few people who have become saints in the Rock Academy, and they never do things that snatch the naming rights of other people's wisdom.

In this endless treasure house, Luo Qing changed Sima Qian's goal from writing a history book that will be famous through the ages to becoming a book of sanctification and becoming the No. 1 historian with just two sentences.

"My lord, please continue to introduce me, I can't wait to start writing this history book."

Hearing Sima Qian's slightly anxious voice, Luo Bai and Luo Qing looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. Wang Wenjun was too familiar with Luo Bai, and said in a low voice, "It feels like you two brothers are plotting."

Luo Bai laughed softly: "Win-win cooperation, this is a win-win situation."

A win-win situation means that the Luo family wins twice, first reaping a wave of Sima Qian's wisdom crystallization, and then continuing to maintain the reputation of the Luo family as a holy place for historians.

The group walked all the way, and Luo Qing explained to Sima Qian all the way. At the end, Sima Qian asked suspiciously: "My lord, why are there no history books of the Yin and Shang Dynasties?"

Luo Bai and Luo Qing looked at each other, and Wang Wenjun's expression became a little dignified.
