Ordinary observers in fast time travel
Chapter 586 The world is on the verge of being broken
"Master, are you sure you want to do this?" Xunshan pulled the horse with some reluctance. It would be impossible for him to go back without peeling off a layer of skin.
"Don't worry, I explained it clearly in the letter. If you send the letter to my father, my father will agree." Xun Yu patted Xun Shan's arm and said.
Xunshan nodded heavily. The clan leader might agree, but he would definitely be punished by the leader.
"Okay, let's go. After Doctor Shi and I settle down, we will spread the word among the clan." Xun Yu said with a smile.
Xunshan cupped his fists and bowed to Xunyu, then turned around and mounted his horse.
The horse's hooves hit the ground, kicking up a burst of dust, and soon the figure disappeared into the smoke.
"Da, da, da" there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Xunshan looked back and saw Dr. Shi, with a few children, driving a donkey cart loaded with goods.
Shi Jia saw him standing at the door and asked, "Did Xunshan go back to deliver the letter?"
Xun Yu nodded.
"I'm sure I've thought about it. Let's get to work. I'm going to the blacksmith shop in a while. I'll trouble you to buy the children's things."
"What else should I buy?" Isn't this truck enough?
"Enlightenment books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. By the way, buy cheap ones." Shi Jia reminded. Not feeling at ease again, he told Zhang Da Niu, "Da Niu, just be careful and buy cheap ones. There is no need to buy expensive consumables like this."
"Don't worry, sister, we will definitely buy the cheapest one."
Xun Yu watched the conversation between the two and wanted to say that he still had some money.
Shi Jia ignored him and left in a hurry. In addition to buying farm tools today, she also had to make a set of equipment. time is tight.
After Xun Yu and the children watched Shi Jia leave, they first went to the inn to unload the goods. Then he took Zhang Danniu and Liu Wenxing to the only bookstore in the town.
"Mr. Xun, this is silver."
When they were approaching the bookstore, Zhang Daniu took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to Xun Yu.
"Why did you give me the money?" Xun Yu didn't take it.
"My sister gave this to me to buy books." Zhang Danniu handed the money forward again. "Mr. Xun, take it quickly."
Only then did Xun Yu take it, with some emotion in his heart. He thought Doctor Shi wanted him to pay for it. He weighed the money bag and found that it was less than twenty taels, so he couldn't buy many books.
"Then go in." Xun Yu took the silver and walked into the library first.
The library is very large, about five feet long and wide, but there are not many books. There are only about a hundred books on a dozen shelves. Hundreds of books would not require such a large space, but perhaps the owner used such a large space in order to highlight the value of the books.
There were many people in the bookstore, so the spacious bookstore was packed to the brim. From this point of view, it is very necessary to build such a large bookstore.
Xun Yu was a little curious, how could there be so many scholars in Liuhe Town, which had no village or shop?
So he found the book boy who was reading the book, "Dare I ask the store owner, do so many people come to the bookstore to study every day?"
The book boy nodded, "Of course, our bookstore is the only one in town."
"I see." He didn't think that this was the only reason why scholars gathered in the bookstore. Besides, a bookstore is not a library, and it costs money to read books.
"May I ask, what books do scholars read?"
"Oh, this." The book boy suddenly smiled. "Scholars generally read the classics and history lecture notes written by Mr. Shanhe. This book is also one of the bookstore's bestsellers. Scholars from several towns next door also come here to buy books."
"One? So you have a lot of best-sellers?"
"No, there are also detailed policy lectures and poetry appreciation. By the way, there is also the storybook "Journey to the West" that is most loved by scholars and ladies..." The book boy talked about the excitement, saliva flew everywhere, and started dancing.
Xun Yu was confused after hearing this. Why had he never heard of these books? Who is Mr. Shanhe? A celebrity who just appeared?
"Can you show the book to Xiaosheng first?" With so many readers seeking it, these books must have their own uniqueness.
"Master, please!" The boy brought Xun Yu and the others to a bookshelf crowded with scholars. He took a book with great difficulty, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Xun Yu, "Master, please read, one hour of reading costs two cents. If these two boys want to read, they will pay the same price."
"Yeah." Xun Yu waved his hand.
The book boy walked away and Zhang Da Niu and Liu Wenxing asked quickly, "Mr. Xun, my sister asked us to buy books." Why did you get the book?
Xun Yu looked at them and said, "If you want to buy a book, you must first know what kind of book it is. Otherwise, how can you buy it?"
Zhang Danniu and Liu Wenxing looked at each other, there seemed to be some truth?
"Also, I just wanted to ask, why do you call me sir?" Xun Yu didn't remember that he had admitted any students.
"Sister said, you will be our teacher from now on, let us call you sir." Liu Wenxing replied.
Xun Yu nodded. It turns out that Doctor Shi asked him to work part-time to be a teacher. Well, how did the teacher teach? He had to think about it.
But let’s read the book now.
"Okay, since I am your husband, you have to listen to me."
"But……"
Xun Yu had already sunk his thoughts directly into the book. Hiss, what he said was too subtle. So this sentence still has such an explanation? High, really high!
Xun Yu couldn't stop watching, while the two children were waiting impatiently. As for letting them read books? I don’t even know a few words!
Finally Zhang Da Niu couldn't bear it anymore and woke Xun Yu up from the book. Xun Yu put down the book reluctantly and called the book boy over, "Then get one of the books you just mentioned..."
"Mr. Xun." Zhang Daniu was so frightened that she quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes. Even Liu Wenxing couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xun, sister only said to buy enlightenment books. The books you want to buy are only for scientific examinations. We don't need scientific examinations."
Only then did Xun Yu remember Shi Jia's previous explanation. "By the way, give me another set of enlightenment books. How much does your ink cost?"
When the bookboy heard that it was a big order, he quickly replied, "The paper in our bookstore is the cheapest, and a knife of fine rice paper only costs two taels of silver."
Xun Yu had no idea about the price of paper, so he asked, "What about the lowest price?"
"That's even cheaper. You can buy it for only thirty cents."
Thirty cents? It is indeed cheap, "Then I will give you one knife of fine paper, fifty bucks of low-grade paper, twenty pens, twenty ink sticks, and ten inkstones. All these are of the lowest quality."
Xun Yu touched his money bag and decided to listen to Shi Jia's words. As for the knife of high-quality paper, he would use it himself.
"Mr. Xun, do we have so much money?" Zhang Da Niu looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I have money."
Zhang Da Niu disagreed, "I will tell my sister when I get back."
"What did you tell your sister?" Xun Yu was confused. While the boy was preparing supplies, he picked up the textbook on classics and history and continued to study it. As he read, he sighed.
This Mr. Shanhe is truly a great talent.
"I just said you don't listen to her arrangements."
"Then she will definitely not scold me, but will praise me."
"why?"
"you guess?"
