Chapter 469 Jiefu, How Can There Be a Brothel?
Then these books were stuffed into another huge iron box, and the iron box began to run on the road, delivering these books to the children. Under the guidance of the teacher, these children opened the books and began to read aloud.
"Okay, let's see here!" Shen Long's words sounded, the light dimmed, the board went up again, and the study room returned to light after a short period of darkness.
Shen Long got up and went to the bookshelf to browse for a while, took out a thick book and showed it to Wang Anshi and his son. On the cover was written "Shang Yang Biography" in big characters, "This book has 324 pages and 270,000 characters. How much do you think this book should sell for?"
"This..." Wang Anshi was a little hesitant. The 50,000 or so words of "Du Gongbu Collection" sold on the market are always more than 50,000 words. This book has more than five times the number of "Du Gongbu Collection". Or the binding is much more exquisite, so the price should be more expensive, right? "Can Liuguan be bought?"
"Haha, this book only costs 16 yuan at our place. If we use gold as the benchmark, this book will cost about 26 wen in Song Dynasty. What does Jiefu think of this price?" Shen Long said with a smile.
"26 Wen!" Wang Anshi stood up, the price was nearly 150 times lower than that of Song Dynasty!
"Yes, only 26 characters. Jiefu thinks about it, if the books of Song Dynasty are so cheap, how many scholars would there be in the world!" Shen Long still kept smiling.
"I also ask Taoist Master Shen to teach you the art of immortality!" Wang Anshi stood there in awe, and then solemnly bowed deeply. He knew that it was not easy for poor students to study. If it was true as Shen Long said, it would indeed be a great blessing.
"Hehe, this technology is already in the hands of you Da Song. The printing technique I just showed you is not fundamentally different from the movable type printing invented by Bi Sheng. Now Bi Sheng's printing technique is like a person who has just entered elementary school. As long as he is taught carefully, he will become a great Confucian one day, but no one in Song Dynasty seems to realize this." Shen Long used a metaphor that Wang Anshi could understand more, "I will not directly give you You won't be able to use this kind of thing, but it will guide you to improve Bi Sheng's technology, so that you can avoid some detours."
"Okay, it's getting late these days, let's stop here!" Wang Anshi wanted to ask again, but Shen Long raised his hand to stop him. Shen Long handed the book to Wang Anshi, "Since Jiefu wants to get rid of the big Song Jihua, you can also read this book. Shang Jun can be said to be the most successful reformer before the Song Dynasty. Maybe Jiefu has opinions on his reform plan, but you can also read his governance methods, maybe You can also gain something.”
"Oh, by the way, this book should be read horizontally from left to right. Jiefu should get used to it gradually. It's best to read it in a bright place during the day, so as not to hurt the eyes if the words are too small." Shen Long warned.
"Thank you, Daoist Shen.
"Wang Anshi took the book with both hands. Of course he had read Shang Yang's biography, but the ones he read at the beginning were too brief. He didn't know what was written in this book of more than 200,000 characters; The characters in it were no different from those used in the Song Dynasty. What was rare was that all the characters were of the same size and clear, which made him amazed.
"Dare to ask if Chang is leaving again? When will you come back to Song Dynasty next time?" Wang Yu was a little nervous, seeing that Wang Anshi was going to be right again, if he left for another few months, I'm afraid he would miss a lot It's a big deal, without Daoist Shen's help, can my father solve the problem smoothly?
"I just said that this time I will probably stay in Song Dynasty for a while, and I plan to go to Kaifeng City to have a look in the near future, is Yuan Ze willing to lead the way for me?" Shen Long seemed to think of something, "Oh, yes, Yuanze's health doesn't seem to be very good, I remember that Xining died of illness in nine years, but don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let the white-haired Jiefu send the black-haired one!"
"Daoist Shen! That's really the case!" Hearing this, Wang Yu felt dizzy for a while. This year is already the first year of Xining, so he only has eight or nine years to live? He is only twenty-four years old this year, and he thought that he would be able to make great achievements at his age, but he did not expect to end up like this.
"Here, I just wrote it on the paper I gave Jiefu!" Shen Long reminded.
Wang Anshi hurriedly took out the "Biography of Wang Anshi" given by Shen Longgang and quickly flipped through it, only to see that it said "An Shi's reunion, thank you for his illness, and you are very sad when Ziyu died. Please forgive me." A few tasks. I am tired of it, so I will serve as the Jiedu Envoy of the Zhennan Army, Tongping Zhangshi, and judge Jiangning Mansion." The words.
Not only is Wang Yu about to die, but Wang Anshi is also going to be dismissed. With the example of the previous Song Shilu, Wang Anshi and his son believed in this passage, and quickly thanked Shen Long for saving his life.
"It doesn't have to be like this, meeting is fate, and I have a lot of things to bother your father and son in the future." Shen Long helped the two of them up, "There are still a few years left, so don't worry for now, when I am free that day, give Yuan Ze can make a diagnosis."
"Thank you so much, Daoist Shen." This was a life-saving grace, and Wang Anshi and his son thanked him again.
"Okay, it's getting late now, why don't we go into the city right now!" Impatient with their so much politeness, Shen Long turned around and walked outside the house. Wang Anshi and his son hurriedly followed, reluctantly passing by the bookshelves. Shedi glanced at it several times, if only these books could be shown to them, it would be great.
After coming out of the house, the two looked at the house behind them with some hesitation. Wang Anshi couldn't help reminding, "Daoist Shen, if you leave, if the books in this house are read by outsiders..."
Before the words fell, there was a bang, and the house disappeared without a trace again. Shen Long seemed to have stuffed something into the bag; well, he was a little worried, and he had his own means to deal with it.
Wang Yu led the way, Wang Anshi accompanied Shen Long to talk, and arrived on the main road not long after, Wang Anshi invited Shen Long into the carriage, Wang Yu got on the horse and accompanied the carriage, the servant he brought was very surprised, who is this man? What kind of person, the bachelor even invited him to ride with him?
"Jiefu can read by himself, don't bother with me, I'll take a look at the scenery outside." Shen Long knew that Wang Anshi couldn't help but want to read it long ago, so he poked his head out of the car window and chatted with Wang Yu while admiring the scenery , From time to time, he said some incomprehensible words such as smog and Pi Aimu 2.5.
Wang Anshi, on the other hand, endured the shaking of the body in the carriage, and read his biographies carefully, feeling a little uncomfortable.
When he was outside Kaifeng City, Shen Long suddenly turned around and asked Wang Anshi, "Jiefu, do you know where there is a brothel?"
