Chapter 135 Where is the Sacred

Everyone was surprised to hear what the shopkeeper said.

Although most of the students of Wannian Academy are born in common people, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are already standing in front of the dragon gate, and only one leap can completely change their destiny.

Therefore, students from Wannian Academy are also very popular. This is the first time I heard that I will not sell books to them.

Several students from the academy were a little angry, but more were still shocked.

"Does the shopkeeper look down on our Wannian Academy?" asked a student.

The shopkeeper waved his hand quickly, "Don't get me wrong, my husband, it's not that our bookstore refuses to sell you, but that the person who printed the book said that he would not be allowed to sell it to Wannian Academy and Mingde Academy."

It was revealed that De Academy was also included, and everyone was even more curious.

"Shopkeeper, why is this?" Zhou Mubai asked jokingly, "Is it because there is something wrong with this book. I am afraid that the students of Wannian Academy and Mingde Academy can only sell it to us who come from other places?"

"This book is definitely fine!" said the shopkeeper, "It was the book printer who said that both Wannian Academy and Mingde Academy can enter the Wenjing Pavilion. It is only a matter of walking a few steps to read the stone scriptures, but there are still many scholars in our Great Sage Dynasty. It is difficult to read a book. He printed these books not for the students of Wannian Academy and Mingde Academy as a collection of books, but to give more scholars who are dedicated to learning but have no way to go, and a chance to read books."

The shopkeeper's words stunned everyone present.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Well said!"

Zhou Mubai and others also agreed, and these words were expressed their thoughts.

These scholars from common people have experienced the dilemma of wanting to read but having no books to read.

Seeing that what he said was affirmed by the scholars, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said in a louder voice: "This book only costs fifty coins! The printmaker printed this book by himself, and he printed it with silver. Unfortunately, his family's wealth was small, so he sold the book to those who really needed it."

"It's only fifty dollars?" someone exclaimed.

In the Great Sage Dynasty, a dou of rice is about thirty yuan, and fifty yuan is not a small amount for poor people, but paper and ink books are not cheap, and books are even less expensive.

They often help bookstores copy books and know that hand-made bookshops usually cost one tael of silver, about one thousand coins, while those printed books in the market are much cheaper, but also one or two hundred coins.

This book "Nine Classics Notes" is not comparable to those printed copies in the market from paper to ink. It is still hand-copied by Yu Zhongling, but it is only sold for fifty dollars.

"I wonder who is the person who printed the book?" Zhou Mubai asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "The person who printed the book did not want to reveal his identity. I don't know who he is. I only know that he is a friend of Lord Yu. When Lord Yu sighed about the difficulty of common scholars, he took out his family fortune to print books. He wanted all scholars in the world to read books."

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when they heard this, but they were even more moved.

"This person is really a kind and righteous man!"

"Since you are a friend who can be hand-written by Lord Yu, you must be a noble character!"

“It’s right!”

"It's a pity that I don't know who it is, otherwise I will definitely promote his reputation."

The shopkeeper asked: "Do you buy this book? If you buy it, come and leave your name and hometown."

"You still have to leave your name and origin?"

The shopkeeper: "No, I'm afraid that someone who is greedy for profit buys books and sells them at a high price will make real scholars unable to buy books."

When everyone heard this, they nodded, thinking that it made sense.

Zhou Mubai was the first to rush forward.

"I, Zhou Mubai, a native of Ji County, are students of Quanshan Academy."

The others reacted and went up to report their names.

The shopkeeper smiled and took out the paper and wrote it down. Although the book was sold cheaply by the person who printed the book, they could make money.

The students of Wannian Academy were squeezed out by the crowd and looked at each other, and walked out of the bookstore. Although they could not buy books, they had no anger on their faces when they came out, and only admired them.

Behind them, someone asked carefully: "There are more than 300 stone scriptures in Wannian Academy. Apart from this "Nine Classic Notes", will the rest be printed?"

The person who asked this question was a little ashamed. Since they had posted money to print books, the more they printed, the more they naturally lost.

But when he asked, he asked what everyone present wanted to know.

I heard the shopkeeper say, "There will be something for the sealer, and the men and women will wait."

Everyone cheered.

The students of Wannian Academy sighed, "Go back to study! Otherwise, if you meet in the exam room in the future, but fail to take the exam, will you lose the face of Wannian Academy?"

"I can't afford to lose this face, go! Go study!"

Such situations can be seen in many bookstores in the capital.

In one day, Lord Yu's mysterious friend became famous among scholars.

But no one knows who the person's surname is.

But the more I don’t know, the more people I want to explore.

Song Anqing ran to the Jiang family and looked at Jiang Yancheng with suspicious eyes: "Mr. Yu, that friend, aren't you brother-in-law?"

Of course it was not him! Jiang Yancheng was also worried about knowing who could have Yu Shunchen hand-written the book to give it to him!

He has known Yu Shunchen for so many years and thinks he is the closest friend to Yu Shunchen, but Yu Shunchen actually copied books for other bullshit friends instead of copying them for him?

He has never been to the Sutra Library of Wannian Academy! He also wants books!

Jiang Yancheng was feeling aggrieved at this moment. When he heard the annoying brother-in-law's pot that he didn't open and carried, he was very annoyed and said with a stern face: "If you don't study well in the academy, why do you do such a little business? Who is Yu Shunchen's friend? What does it have to do with you!"

Song Anqing looked at him for a while and muttered with a clear expression: "I just said it's not you! I remember when I was young, you gave me New Year's money, and you gave me broken silver. How could you have the kindness of being loyal and generous?"

Jiang Yancheng was so angry that he saw that the little bastard became more and more annoying. He stood up and rushed the guest and said, "I don't have your food in my house today, so you can go back to the academy quickly!"

Song Anqing looked behind Jiang Yancheng and whispered loudly: "Sister, didn't you tell the cook to make the crab noodles I like? Why did my brother-in-law drive me away again?"

Jiang Yancheng quickly turned around and saw Song standing at the door, looking at him in confusion.

Jiang Yanzhen immediately smiled and said to his wife, "I'm joking with this kid, don't pay attention to him."

Song smiled gently and turned around and left.

Jiang Yancheng turned around and met Song Anqing's proud gaze. He felt his hands were itchy and wanted to beat someone up.

In order to avoid beating my brother-in-law and making his wife unhappy, Jiang Yancheng ran out of the house on the excuse of having an appointment with a friend.

He ran to Yu's mansion and asked Yu Shunchen: "Jun Yao! Who is your friend?"
