Ye Hongyun's book boy was a boy in his teens. He was wearing a blue shirt and replied with a crisp voice: "Sir, I only waited for an incense stick, and Liu Zhaifu found the book for me. It happened that a disciple from the academy was registering to borrow books and asking about the new rules of the library. I heard him tell the reason..."

The book boy explained the new situation in the library.

Brother Juyuan praised, "What a clever book boy." He smiled and said, "Brother Wentai's academy is really hidden and lying on the tiger!"

Ye Hongyun was gentle in nature. When facing his friend's joke, he just smiled and shook his head, "I don't believe that Brother Juyuan had never heard of my disciple's name in the Wu Prince's Mansion."

When he heard the book boy say that Jia Huan was taking the lead in doing things, he felt relieved. With Jia Huan's talent, it was normal to organize the library and get a good grasp of it. He was very interested in the new rules of the library.

Brother Juyuan laughed loudly when he stroked his beard. Jia Qingsong was famous all over the capital. How could he not know? After laughing for a while, he talked to his friends about movable type printing.

The printing of bronze and wooden characters was the most commonly used printing technique in the State Dynasty, and each had its own advantages and disadvantages. He was very interested in exploring this aspect.

…

The sunset hangs on the mountain peaks, and the sky is full of red clouds. Dongzhuang Town, bathed in the sunset, is prosperous and orderly. Jia Huan, Yi Junjie, Zhang Sishui, Ji Cheng and others only walk out of the restaurant at the scholar's restaurant from noon to evening.

As scholars, when they get together, they like to talk big. It is normal for three or four hours to talk. The topic shifts from rhyme arrangement to nine chapters of arithmetic, then to the Jinshi subject admitted to the scientific examination, Mingjing subject, and then to the Qiubo Competition of the current academic subject.

Everyone was separated at the intersection of Dongzhuang Town. The disciples who were still studying in the outer room had to follow the Academy Street to the main entrance of the academy and return to the dormitory of the old campus. Several day students went home each. The disciples in the inner room entered the academy from the east gate.

Yi Junjie, Zhang Sishui and Ji Cheng surrounded Jia Huan and came to Beiqianfang. The streets in Fangzhong were neat and smoke was curling.

Jia Huan asked Ji Cheng if he was sure to get into the "Mencius Class" in the quarterly exam in September this year.

Since Zhu Xi, a master of Vinaya, explained the Four Books, teachers in all schools basically taught their disciples' courses according to Zhu Xi's advice: first university, then the Analects of Confucius, followed by Mencius, and then the Doctrine of the Mean. The Wendao Academy also arranged this way.

Ji Cheng has a plain appearance, thirteen years old this year, and is considered a junior among the disciples of the academy. This is the normal level. Otherwise, how could Wei Yang, who was 12 years old last year, have the nickname "Wei Prodigy" in the academy at that time?

Of course, Jia Huan does not belong to this list. He has surpassed the boundaries of age. No one in the academy has ever called him a child prodigy. Not only does he say close classmates, but the students in the academy are basically respectful. Even new classmates are the worst, they are just as good as peers.

Ji Cheng was a few years older than Jia Huan. But in front of Jia Huan, he looked like a younger generation and said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I'm almost on the verge of returning to the hospital."

Jia Huan laughed. Yao Wei and Liu Yichen recommended Ji Cheng to him. He also saw that it was indeed a material for doing practical things. Among the disciples behind the academy, this one was the best. He immediately advised: "If you want to do practical things, you should be successful in your career first. You should read the books well."

Ji Cheng nodded.

Speaking of fame, Yi Junjie asked, "Brother Jia, you and your senior brother are going to take the July record exam? Hi, I dare not participate. I expect to pass the participation."

Jia Huan said: "Well. I didn't leave the exam room last year. I will definitely have to go to the exam if I have the chance this year. Sishui, don't you go to the exam?"

Zhang Sishui laughed self-deprecatingly, "It will be a waste of my exam when I take the exam at this level. I will strive to pass the college entrance examination next year and get the reputation of a scholar." If he can pass the exam at this level, it would be a ridicule and insult to tens of thousands of scholars in Beizhili.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, not persuading Zhang Sishui. Some people scored higher and lower the exams. Some people scored lower and lower the exams. He had a classmate who had three years of re-study and had a year of worse grades. This required his own choice.

Yi Junjie smiled and said, "I guess that boy Qin Hongtu has the same idea as that. Last month, he simply took leave to go back to Jizhou to visit relatives."

Jia Huan smiled and felt a little moved. The days of Jia's family were not far from leaving the capital. Yi Junjie didn't know the truth about this. The truth was that he sent Qin Hongtu back to Jizhou to help him buy an innocent empty household registration.

He obtained 5,000 taels of silver in Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Lian had not paid him the final payment of 4,000 taels. He already had the capital to operate the future. The empty account in Jizhou is just the first step to change his identity. He will also go to other remote areas to purchase his identity as Jizhou. After a few procedures, he will be his official identity in the future.

When we arrived at the intersection of Beiqianfang, we were north of the south gate of the academy. Walking forward was Jia Huan’s residence. Everyone said goodbye at the intersection. The faint night in summer enveloped the houses and the bluestone streets.

…

Back in the yard where she lived, in the dusk, Ruyi was posing for supper in the restaurant, and Qingwen sat in the needlework under the light. Her needlework was excellent. The two of them were talking. The faint warmth floated in the smell of mosquito repellent.

Jia Huan smiled and entered the room.

"Ah, the third master is back!" Qingwen seemed to be talking to Ruyi, but actually kept an eye on the door. Seeing Jia Huan come back, she found out first.

Looking at the two pretty little girls, Jia Huan smiled, "Oh, you are so sharp-eyed. Let's have a meal! Qingwen, what are you sewing? Don't be too tempted at night, be careful and be myopic in the future."

Qingwen stood up with a smile and said, "Third Master, you scared me again!" She sent the clothes on her hands back to the house and put them down, and came back and said, "It was for you to make a filial piety dress to go to the East Mansion."

Jia Huan suddenly realized that Qian Huan came here two days ago and brought the shoes made by Xiren and brought them to the rubbish. This was the punishment for the last time. In addition, he also brought the date of Jia Zhen's funeral: June 23rd. He will go back to the city at that time.

Ruyi and Aunt Li arranged a meal. After dinner, the three of them went to the bedroom to chat and talk. Ruyi told Jia Huan about the afternoon and evening events, and there were two things in total.

First, Miss Shu'er came and gave her a few gifts. Thank you Jia Huan for teaching Ruby Lin a lesson a few days ago. This was a teacher-level treatment. Jia Huan was competing again and bragging about vainly, so he asked Shi Kuang, the captain of the town guard team, to slap Lin Xinyuan for more than a dozen strokes. He beat Ruby Lin.

Second, Mr. Ye sent a book boy to pass on the message and asked him to go to the lecturer's office's mountain chief hall tomorrow morning to talk about the new rules of the library.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded. Miss Lin was considerate of her brother. She transferred her close maid Shu'er to take care of Lin Xinyuan. But in his opinion, Lin Xinyuan's mind was not on studying. Forced to learn would probably not be of great use. Before he left, he trained this kid, at most he would just correct his views.

He is going to talk to Mr. Ye tomorrow about the library. He is going to prepare to add a few talents.

Qingwen, Ruyi, Jia Huan and Miss Lin several times. The master and servant joked about Lin Xinyuan. At this time, Jia Huan went half a cup of tea. Qingwen sat on the high table and said with a smile: "Third Master, I will be a model for you tonight. You can draw another painting for me."

Ruyi flattened her mouth unsatisfiedly and said, "Sister Qingwen, it's my turn tonight."

Qingwen stared at her big eyes and argued: "The third master painted it was not good yesterday. It was distorted. My painting is not finished."

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing. Qingwen was talking about charcoal sketches. He was leisurely during this period and tried to learn a few strokes and used the pretty and charming little beauty Qingwen as a model. It was indeed quite comfortable.

He will take these two little girls away in the future, and life will not be boring!

…

The next morning, Jia Huan went to the Lecturer's Office (Teacher's Office) located in the new campus. He entered the Lecturer's Office compound, walked through the corridor, and walked into the mountain hall in the middle of the interior.

The elegantly arranged room was filled with books. Ye Hongyun, the second mountain leader of Wendao Academy, was wearing a jade-colored Confucian robe, and was tasting and reading books at Jingya's desk by Jingya's window, waiting for Jia Huan to come.

"Sir, so leisurely and elegant!" Jia Huan and Mr. Ye were familiar with each other, and said casually in front of him, smiling and sitting on the side of the desk.

Ye Hongyun smiled and nodded, saying, "It's not that you've made a fuss. Now that the academy is reorganized, my teaching tasks are relatively light. It's hard to think about it." He laughed a few times and signaled Jia Huan to pour tea himself. He asked with interest: "Ziyu, tell me about the new rules of the library."

Jia Huan is still very thoughtful in running a school. From time to time, a few good ideas emerge.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "I don't ask, I'm going to tell you about it." The new rules of the library actually only stipulate the requirements for borrowing students from academy.

The main thing is to ask the disciples to put the books back to their original place after they read them. If they don’t remember the original place, they can give them to the jaisu. Of course, it’s just such a regulation. There are also people who put books randomly in university libraries in later generations.

After explaining the new rules to Mr. Ye, Jia Huan said: "Sir, the best way to index is not to index according to rhymes. It should be classified and partitioned according to the content, and then indexed according to the pronunciation of the first character, and establish a double index."

The pinyin of Chinese was not available in the Zhou Dynasty. Jia Huan first talked to Mr. Ye about this issue. The ancients had their own methods in terms of tone and rhyme, but they were not concise enough. Jia Huan also did not mean to promote the pinyin of Chinese. He hoped to establish a complete library system. The role of libraries in modern universities is very important.

At that time, the director of Peking University Library was Li Dazhao and the acting director was Zhang Shenfu. The library scribe was the chairman, with a monthly salary of 8 yuan. The salary was generous.

Jia Huan and Ye Hongyun talked for a day. When the sunset was about to set, Ye Hongyun looked at the manuscript paper on the desk and smiled bitterly, "Ziyu, this is all a big job!"

He and Jia Huan talked about three things in total. First, they expanded the library and named it the library. They collected and engraved books for the students of the academy to study. They set up full-time personnel to manage them.

Second, for the question of sound and rhyme, it is best to write a dictionary to include all Chinese characters, such as Shuowen Jiezi, which is used to teach Meng Tong. Shuowen Jiezi is to classify Chinese characters with radicals. This is definitely a major event that can make words.

Third, all teachers of the academy's understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics are gathered into books and used as textbooks for the academy's disciples to learn by themselves. This is based on Zhu Xi's collection of chapters and sentences, and then sentence interpretation is made.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "So you have to spend your whole life doing it. I think there are more teachers in our academy." He wanted to make the academy better before leaving.

Ye Hongyun smiled slightly, "This is not a problem. Zhang Xiang fell, Shuanghe Academy is almost unable to hold on, and we have a good chance of poaching. Of course, I won't accept Yang Shanchang of Shuanghe Academy."

Jia Huan laughed and raised his thumbs up and said, "Zi said, "Your Majesty, I will respond to the straight." Wendao Academy and Shuanghe Academy are rivals, and they have been competing for many years. He had seen the provocation of this Yang Shanchang during the New Year's Cultural Conference. He deserves a beating!

Ye Hongyun laughed.
