Qin asked

Recently, various legends have been circulating in various vassal states: There is a library in the legend, as long as you go in, you can get a thousand gold when you come out...

There is a legend that there is a library, only the real masterpieces are eligible to be placed in it and passed down for thousands of years...

Legend has it that there is a library connected to the heavens, and the books inside are all heavenly books, read by the gods...

All of a sudden, rumors spread, people's hearts fluttered, and it was about learning. Few scholars were not tempted. With everyone saying this, believe it or not, many people wanted to see this legendary library for themselves.

By the time the princes found out that something was wrong, it was too late to block the news. Many well-informed people had already learned that the library was in the Qin Kingdom, and some impatient people had already packed their bags and prepared to go to see it, even if it was a lie. It should also increase knowledge; and some prudent people intend to wait and see before making a decision.

Except for Qin, all countries are facing the embarrassing situation of brain drain. In this regard, the kings can only grit their teeth and smile, and use the excuse of busy government affairs to detain all the ministers who want to leave, and send away those young talents who have resigned. Jun, and then hope that these news are all fake.

For this phenomenon, Ying Zheng is happy to see the results. In fact, many of those rumors are still written by him. Qin has no talents, so he tries to attract people: the first step is to spend money. Of course it's not his money, but Lu Buwei's.

Do you still remember the reward offered by Lu Buwei at the beginning? How could every word in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" with more than [-] characters be correct?It’s just that many people read the book with the attitude of me coming to see it and then leaving. Few people dare to directly find fault. However, this rule has now been broken by Ying Zheng. Of course, it should be Mo Dou’s idea to be precise. .

After moving "Lu's Spring and Autumn" into the library, Ying Zheng set up a special mailbox. If someone finds a mistake, they can quietly write it on the 'paper' specially provided by the library, and then put it in the mailbox. Someone will come to deal with the mailbox, and finally the questions inside will be sorted out and posted on the 'bulletin board' for everyone to discuss, while the questioner will keep the whole process secret, except for Ying Zheng, no one will know, including Lu Buwei.

Since then, no matter how much Lu Buwei played tricks, he didn't dare to deny it. He could only pinch his nose and transfer the money to Ying Zheng, who would secretly reward him in private.

This is also the origin of the first rumor. Someone really got a thousand gold after entering it!

For this, Lu Buwei was so angry that even he couldn't bear the amount of money, not to mention that he was the one who spent the money, but his good reputation was taken away by Ying Zheng. How could he accept it calmly? ? !

However, Ying Zheng also gave Lu Buwei a big gift.

Mo Dou stood beside Li Si and watched him splash ink, and wrote three large characters on the plaque: 'Thousand Gold Pavilion'.

Li Si is worthy of being a master of calligraphy. The twisted and graphic Xiaozhuan is stunned by his writing with a sense of surging atmosphere, which makes Mo Dou feel a bit of pain for Lu Buwei. To be honest, he wants to cry for Lu Buwei. .

Qianjin Pavilion... Is there a more mocking name than this?

Ying Zheng was very satisfied. He nodded to Li Si: "Thank you, Li Qing."

In this regard, Li Si, who was ordered by the first emperor to be in charge of engraving the national seal, was very modest: "Mr. Mo's pen is good."

He turned his head to look at the ink fountain, and smiled slightly: "I don't know how many pens Mr. Mo would like to give to me?"

"It's just icing on the cake. Of course I am willing to do it if my husband likes it." Mo Dou was also very modest. "Moreover, this is an improved pen by General Meng Tian. Dou dare not take credit for it."

Li Si's expression was strange. He didn't expect Meng Tian, ​​a military general, to be able to improve his pen, which made him a little entangled, but he finally praised Meng Tian: "You are worthy of being the descendant of General Meng."

To be honest, it was a bit perfunctory, and a bit against my will... Mo Dou twitched his mouth, turned his head away from Li Si, An Anxin waited for the ink on the plaque to dry, and then sent it to Lu Buwei's nose...

At this time, Zhao Gao sent in today's official duties. Ying Zheng bent his mouth, sighed and walked over resignedly, and began to approve. Mo Dou and Li Si shut their mouths very consciously, and the scene fell silent for a while, only Xia Yingzheng flipped through the clattering sound of the bamboo slips. His movements were a little loud and he looked a little irritable.

Mo Dou understood that Ying Zheng was dissatisfied that he was still using bamboo slips.

It has been several years since Yingzheng saw 'paper' for the first time. During this time, Yingzheng, who has experienced the convenience of 'paper', has become less and less patient with bamboo slips, especially recently, in Shuge After the book in the book was exposed, some people are even resisting the existence of 'paper', even if Ying Zheng hasn't taken any action to promote paper.

This is inevitable. In fact, the promotion of paper has also experienced ups and downs in history.

At the beginning, because the technology of producing paper was not mature enough, paper had too many shortcomings, so people could only give up its advantages. However, after the technology matured, bamboo slips still occupied a dominant position for a period of time. Many people think that Paper is not as reliable as bamboo slips, and they still stubbornly believe that only writing on bamboo slips can ensure that the written things will be passed on, instead of being torn or lost easily.

Mo Dou could even foresee that even after Yingzheng implemented the paper, unless it was an urgent report or an unimportant document, other official affairs would still be written on the bamboo slips and delivered to Yingzheng's nose, no matter what Yingzheng did. Furious, those people still feel that writing on bamboo slips is more important and reliable.

Thinking about it this way, Mo Dou understands the feelings of Ying Zheng burning books and burying Confucianism in history.

"Is the ink on the plaque dry?"

Suddenly, Ying Zheng asked, Mo Dou was thinking about something, and his reaction was a bit slow, Li Si reacted a little faster, checked it immediately, and then confirmed: "It's done."

"Good," Ying Zheng raised the corners of his mouth viciously, and his hands responded briskly, "then send it to uncle."

Li Si waved his hand to let Zhao Gao come in, and motioned for him to send someone to the Lu Mansion. Seeing that the plaque had been removed, Mo Dou's mood, which was still somewhat depressed just now, miraculously became smoother, and Mo Dou thought joyfully: Sure enough, my own happiness Always built on the pain of others.

……

Lu Buwei, who received the plaque, was hit by [-] points. He wished he could directly chop up the broken plaque and use it as firewood. However, Zhao Gao didn't give him any chance. When the person came across the plaque, he gave Lu Buwei a look, turned around, sent it straight to the source of the library, and hung up in front of Lu Buwei who chased him out.

According to the reply from the person concerned, Zhao Gao, at that time Lu Buwei almost couldn't catch his breath, fell directly to the ground, and was hurriedly sent by his entourage to the medical center next door. .

Afterwards, Mo Dou specifically asked Jiang Yu about Lu Buwei's situation, but the other party coldly dropped the words "Grand Lu is old" and turned to study cowpox, although Mo Dou had already told him about the preventive measures for smallpox , and achieved certain results, but there are still many problems to be solved, such as complications after vaccination: bacterial infection, such as local suppuration, sepsis, etc.

Mo Dou is not dissatisfied with this, of course he doesn't care about Jiang Yu's attitude, what's more, he already knows the information he wants: Lu Buwei is already at the end of his battle, and he even thinks that if he gets angry again, Lu Buwei might really be able to To achieve the effect of Lu Gong with three qi - cerebral hemorrhage and other things should not be too common in later generations.

However, Ying Zheng and Mo Dou have no time to talk to Lu Buwei: they are going to start promoting paper.

After the library was given the title of "Qianjin Pavilion", Yingzheng started the second action: after money, he was seduced by fame and fortune.

Qianjin Pavilion is about to open. Previously, it was only a reading place for "Lushi Chunqiu", and only those who found fault were allowed to enter. Now, it will be open to everyone, of course, there are still restrictions: it only recognizes books but not people .

As long as you donate a book you have and let Qianjin Pavilion include it in a paper book, you will be able to go in and check all the books in it at once. Of course, the donated book will be kept confidential unless you are willing to make it public .

Those who are willing to disclose will enjoy other benefits: they can choose a book they want to copy home.

Those who openly hand in more than ten books have the right to enter and exit Qianjin Pavilion without restriction.

Qianjin Pavilion is not afraid of repetition, even if a copy of "The Book of Songs" has been handed in several times, it greedily collects and swallows all the versions like a glutton, and no one can see its bottom line.

In order to attract those aristocratic families who already had a lot of books, Yingzheng almost smashed all the books in the treasury of Qin into it. Mo Dou even saw many books that have been lost in later generations: "Three Graves", "Five Classics" ", "Basuo", "Nine Hills"... If ancient Chinese scholars read these, they would probably go crazy.

Yingzheng was so generous, many people on the sidelines hesitated to take out one or two books already in the Qianjin Pavilion and offered them up, and then repeatedly plunged in with a burden of dry food obligations: In the age of art, all books were hand-copied. The more they were copied, the more mistakes they had. Even if they had read all the books in the library, they couldn't help but want to read other versions. This is also the reason why Qianjin Pavilion insists on including all versions.

Then, all the dry food they prepared to eat for three days was confiscated. The reason is very simple, in order to prevent rats (to pit you for more books)...

Ink Dou is not happy. The empty bookshelves of Qianjin Pavilion have been empty for a long time. Is there any library whose bookshelves are filled with bamboo slips?Mo Dou swears that he will absolutely fill the bookshelves on the three walls with books!Papery!
