Speaking of "Pearl and Jade Collection", the three of them came over, but before Chen Yizhe could speak... Ye Mengfu had already walked to Tang Song and put away the book on the cloth pad, "It's okay if this book is not the case. Brother Shangguan has just arrived at Shuitian Pavilion. Zheweng, you will not be in a bad mood to argue with Bo Gaozhe..."

Hearing this, Yuan Sanshan immediately laughed out loud.

Chen Yizhe also smiled when he stroked his white beard. Zhang Xu opened his mouth and finally stopped talking. [The latest updates are all in search.]

This is strange. Tang Song is still waiting to be asked. Yuan Sanshan, who was smiling on his face, had already walked up and carried his arms outwards. "Young brother, don't ask again, otherwise you will have to be angry. Let me lead you to a glimpse of the books in Shuitian Pavilion..."

Ye and Huang were like this, so Tang Song hid his doubts in his heart and followed Yuan Sanshan out of this auxiliary building with a smile.

The left deputy building is for revision of books, and General Ye Mengfu is the subject of the matter. The right deputy building is a place where people gather to copy books, responsible for copying the books borrowed from various places to replenish the collection. The person in charge of this place is naturally Yuan Sanshan.

After reading the auxiliary buildings on both sides, Tang Song finally stepped into the private library, which is the best in the world.

As soon as I entered the pavilion, a fragrance of books suddenly came to my face. Looking around, I saw rows of neat bookshelf. Walking through it, I saw that the collection of books in the imperial examination was placed in collections of classics, history, and literature. In addition to paper books, you can also see a large number of silk books and bamboo slips.

While walking, Tang Song was amazed. When he reached the corner of the first floor, a place in front was vacant. There was no bookshelves, and there were no bookshelf. What was kept were some books and benches commonly used by scholars. There were about a dozen scholars reading at their desks.

At first glance, most of these people were dressed in a simple manner, and some of them were wearing only a few single clothes in this cold winter day, with their bodies shivering. Despite this, these more than ten people were silent, obviously studying was awesome.

Seeing these Han Su Shi who were focused on books, Chen Yizhe, who was walking in front, habitually stroked the white beard under his jaw, with a smile on his face and a very relieved look.

"When Zheweng first built the Shuitian Pavilion, he decided to keep it in books without guarding it. Therefore, the pavilion is open to the public all year round, and scholars from all over the country are allowed to come to read and copy. These are all from Yangzhou and Jiangnan, and the wings are updated the fastest. There are scholars from the land, and there are already cold on the season. If the tables and chairs in the pavilion are often not enough to be used in the spring and autumn seasons..."

Although Zhang Xu's voice was extremely light when explaining to Tang Song, he still alarmed the Han Sushi who was reading. After seeing Chen Yizhe, these people stood up and bowed to him. The sincere gratitude in their eyes was really touching.

Chen Yizhe returned a gust, and the look of relief on his face became stronger.

In order not to disturb these people's study, the five turned around and retreated. After getting away from that corner, Tang Song suddenly stopped and turned around and bowed to Chen Yizhe with a serious look like those cold scholars just now.

Seeing this, Chen Yizhe stepped forward and helped Tang Song and said in surprise: "Why do you have to do this for me?"

Tang Song insisted on finishing this ceremony before he stood up. "Since Qin's first, there were many book collectors, but they always put them on the shelf and kept them secretly. Like the Cui family in Boling, there were many books, but their collections never went out. The so-called "Do not leave the house" is the case. Anyone who dares to borrow books from outside will not worship his ancestors three times until three years, and who will give gifts to others will be expelled from the house..."

"The giant clan in the Boling Cui family has always been looked up to by the scholars. His family is like this. Looking at the world, there are not a few such book collectors. However, this is why Zheweng's good deeds for two thousand years have been used to express this ceremony. Xie Zheweng's scholars on behalf of the world..."

After Tang Song finished speaking, Chen Yizhe and others sighed sadly, "The four families of Cui Lu, Li and Zheng have been passed down for hundreds of years. If the essence of the collection of books is discussed in the world, there is no such thing as these four families. If the four families are willing to publish the collection of books to the world, there will be many scholars who will be grateful for..."

Ye Mengfu nodded and said, "Brother Yuan said so much..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xu smiled, "Brother Yuan and Ye are so childish. Compared with their power, wealth and wealth, these books are the foundation of the four families who have enjoyed great reputations and are proud of their own. How could the four families make a lot of profits from this?..."

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families who were once prominent in history have disappeared. The reason for this is that the breakdown of the monopoly of culture and thought is actually one of the most important reasons. Zhang Xu's words are not false.

"Bogao, you think it's simple, too..." Chen Yizhe raised his head and signaled everyone to continue moving forward, "It is the four giants of Cui, Lu, Li and Zheng who are willing to publish the essence of hundreds of years of collection of books to the world. It is very difficult for scholars in the world to see them all.

"Is Zheweng Yan's book too expensive?"

Chen Yizhe nodded, "In addition to Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, every book published by the woodblock printing press club is available. The lower the price can also be used for a family of three to spend half a month. It is like a book of classics and history. The fewer the buyers, the more the value, and the more the family can spend a few months. Just like the poor scholars in the world are unable to buy it..."

This topic is really heavy. When he talks about it, even Zhang Xu was a little excited. The five people walked silently for a while, and Tang Song said lightly: "Since that's the case, why don't Zheweng open a seal club? He won't get less benefits when selling books, so he can benefit many scholars..."

Hearing this, Chen Yizhe and others laughed. Ye Mengfu said, "How can the guild tolerate you if you are suppressing the price without authorization? Besides, even if you make less profit, the price of books will not be too low. After all, it is not easy for craftsmen to carve the plate..." The wing spreading update group is the fastest.

Tang Song didn't care what everyone laughed about, "If there was a seal club that could sell all kinds of books at 30% of the current price, Brother Ye thought it was like He?"

"Nothing is possible..."

Zhang Xu, who was on the side, also smiled and said, "If anyone in the world can do such a thing, in the scholars, there are countless poor scholars who want to set up a tablet of immortality for them..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Song smiled faintly and said nothing more.

This afternoon, Tang Song spent the afternoon in Shuitian Pavilion, and in the evening he went to the newly built tall building near the river, making it a great time to enjoy the moon.

After a lot of drinks, it didn't last until late at night. That night, Tang Song stopped in the yard's monastery.

The next morning, Tang Song and Zhang Xu returned to the city in the same car. On the way, they asked about the "Pearl and Jade Collection" and Zhang Xu smiled and told the whole story.

The four people praised the exquisiteness of "Zhu Yu Collection" by themselves, but when it comes to the opposite of the lyrics, Chen Yizhe thought that this matter hindered the literary fortune of Jiangnan.

"Young brother didn't know what he had just come. Since the introduction of "Zhu Yu Collection", not only Yangzhou, but also Luoyang's paper is expensive. The trend has attracted young and backward people to follow, and many people are addicted to it. A few days ago, some teachers from the state school came to worship, and when they talked about this matter, they all thought it was a worry. What was the lyrics that were gradually growing were not conducive to the literary fortune of Jiangnan. The court won the scholars and did not pick up lyrics and poems as the right way to study..."

"I was here too that day. When I heard this, I quoted Tang Song's sentence "The poems are of the same origin and refuted them, which immediately made the teachers feel unhappy and ended up parting with displeasure..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xu smiled and waved his hand, "This is nothing. But Zheweng has been enthusiastic about Shilin for many years and has also enjoyed a reputation in Shilin. He inevitably agrees with the nonsense of the teachers. Since then, whenever he talks about "Zhu Yu Collection", I must have a dispute. It is because Ye Yuan, the second brother of Shilin, would act like that in the Shuitian Pavilion yesterday..."

Zhang Xu's words were speechless, and after a long time, Tang Song smiled awkwardly: "What's the point of arguing about this? Can lyrics really replace poetry? The young and younger generations are so addicted to it now, just to be fresh. When the tide passes, they will naturally be heartbroken. Although the teachers are kind-hearted, they are too worried... "

Zhang Xu laughed, "Shaowei said so much..."

Soon, the carriages and horses had arrived outside the inn. After Tang Song and Zhang Xu had parted, they had never entered the inn, so they directly found the silk and satin farm where Zheng Yue was.

Seeing that he was just now, Zheng Yue went out to greet him personally. Tang Song didn't talk to him much and directly asked about the seal club.

After taking over what he said yesterday, Tang Song realized Zheng Yue's difficulties. It turned out that there were six time-honored seal companies in Yangzhou that had been operating for decades. In order to ensure the interests, these six companies joined forces to form a guild to do a monopoly. Whenever the new seal company was opened, the six companies used their means to squeeze them out.

A few days ago, Zheng Yue leaked rumors while preparing for the seal club. The leader of the guild came to the door and said something. Then the craftsmen who had already hired scattered, and now even the newly hired craftsmen from other states showed signs of unstableness.

In the end, Zheng Yue was quite helpless, "Yangzhou, the wing-spreading update group was updated the fastest. It is an important town in Jiangnan. These six seal clubs have deep foundations in the entire Jiangnan. The craftsmen take this as a career and do not care about them. Therefore, if you want to open this seal club, it is better to have the approval of the guild. Otherwise, even if you force it, you will inevitably have troubles. It is difficult to suppress local snakes. Merchants and trade will eventually have to make peace..."

Zheng Yue's last few words touched Tang Song. He came to Jiangnan to do things, so it would be better to have less trouble.

After asking the location of the guild, Tang Song asked for paper and pen to send Zheng Fatty, and then left the place after taking Zheng Yue quickly to Beijing and continuing to prepare for the sealing club.

Not long after coming out of the silk shop, I arrived at the residence prepared by Zhang Jianzhi for Crystal in Yangzhou. When Tang Song came out of this elegant little house again, there was a servant in green clothes and hats around him.

Today is a rare good weather in many days. The sun shines brightly and the wind is shining on your body warmly. Tang Song took Shui Jing and wandered all the way to the West City of Yangzhou.

The western city is extremely lively, with merchant shops one by one, and there is no end at a glance. Xingzhou white porcelain, Jiannan silk satin, Xiangzhou lacquerware, and Haidong pearl goods are dazzling. Because there are too many incense shops, the entire long street is covered with a faint fragrance. There are many foreigners in strange clothes among pedestrians. In terms of its prosperity, it is no less than Luoyang Beishi.

Such a lively urban atmosphere is really good for Crystal. Tang Song walked slowly and kept introducing the items on both sides and pedestrians in strange clothes to her. He deliberately said it lightly and interestingly, and the clear spring smile on Crystal's face never stopped.

Before they knew it, the two of them arrived outside a large bookstore. Tang Song looked up at the plaque of the "Wanfang Seal Society" hanging, and walked in with Shui Jing.
