Chapter 307 Throw it out

After Chen Xuan's explanation, the young man immediately rushed to the study to pick out more than a dozen influential books, and then took all the books he usually copied. After calculation, there were more than 20 books.

"Father, this is the book I picked out. Do you want me to have a look?" The young man came to Chen Xuan with books.

Chen Xuan turned over these books. These books are indeed influential works today. He nodded and said, "You immediately find someone to transcribe them. At that time, you can directly hand over the original, and leave the copy and you can sort them out by yourself."

"It's my father."

The young man immediately found more than a dozen children of poor families. These children of poor families did not live well in Xiangyang and often helped people transcribe books. Under the instructions of the young man, these poor people began to write one by one. In less than two hours, more than ten books had been copied. While correcting the errors of the transcription, the young man immediately left the mansion with more than ten books.

In an official residence in Xiangyang, Yi Ji is sitting leisurely in the official residence and tasting tea. This is the place where the Jingzhou family needs to pay books. Except for several families who came to hand in books on the first day, the whole official residence was deserted these two days, and no family came to hand in books.

There was no surprise to the reaction of these families. He was born in a poor family and naturally knew that these families valued books. At the beginning, he was ridiculed for asking people to borrow books. If it hadn't been for the end, the Ponzi family would have lent him books, and there would have been no Yiji today.

"Hmm?" Yi Ji suddenly turned his head and looked out of the door.

The footsteps sounded, and a moment later, a guard came in and bowed and said, "Your Excellency, the Jiangxia Chen family came to present a book."

"The Chen family?"

Yi Ji's heart was moved. Although the Chen family kept a low profile in Jingzhou, its influence was not small at all. Naturally, he knew it. Chen Xuan, the patriarch of the Chen family, was also very familiar with him, so when he heard the Chen family coming to present the book, he nodded after only a little surprised.

"Let him in."

"No."

The guard turned around and left. Soon, he came in with a young man. When the young man saw Yi Ji, he quickly bowed and saluted and said, "The younger generation has met the gentleman, and the younger generation has come to present the book under the order of his father. Please have a look."

"Is your father Chen Xuan?" Hearing the young man call him his husband, Yi Ji knew that the young man was a scholar, and only when the scholar saw him would he call himself a junior.

"It's my father." The young man said respectfully.

Yi Ji nodded slightly and motioned the guard beside him to send the books in the young man's hand. The guard came forward and held the books in the young man's hand and put them in front of Yi Ji.

Yi Ji just looked through it slightly and nodded with a smile, "Yes, your father has a heart. These are all books that are missing in the college."

"Thank you, Mr. Muri." Seeing that Yi Ji was satisfied, the young man was relieved.

Seeing the young man like this, Yi Ji smiled and picked up the pen on the table and recorded it. After a while, Yi Ji stopped writing and looked at the bamboo slips to make sure that there were no mistakes. Yi Ji handed the bamboo slips to the young man: "This is a book handed in by the Chen family. See if there is any mistake."

"Since you wrote it yourself, how can there be mistakes?" With that, the young man just glanced at it and handed over the bamboo slips again.

"Ha ha, well, go back and tell your father, just tell him to rest assured. The lord has his own decision." More than a dozen books were included all of a sudden, and he also had a good impression on the gift of young people.

"Thank you, sir." The young man looked happy and saluted again before he turned around and left.

After the young man left, Yi Ji transcribed the bamboo slip in his hand again for someone to send to Liu Qi's house. This was the first family to offer a book in addition to the family who had a good relationship with Liu Qi. Liu Qi should have known earlier.

......................................................................................................

In the study, Liu Qi is worried about the college. It seems easy to build a college, but it is a little difficult to really implement it. It is extremely difficult to find those teachers, not to mention selecting students. Although Pang Degong and others are extremely suitable candidates, they can't let Pang Degong and others come forward in person.

"The lord has presented a letter to another family." While Liu Qi was pondering, Zhuge Liang came in with a bamboo slip.

"Which family is it?" Liu Qi shook his head and put aside this matter for the time being. Books are the most important thing at the moment. In the past three days, only those families have handed in books. If he hadn't had a countermeasure, I'm afraid it would have really made this matter difficult.

"It's the Chen family in Jiangxia. This Chen family has presented nearly 20 books, and these are all high-quality books." Zhuge Liang looked excited. The more books there are, the more perfect the preparation of the college will be, so that the college can be on track as soon as possible.

"Is this Chen's family the transshipment of Jingzhou salt, the controller?" Thinking that Zhuge Liang told him a few days ago that the Chen family was one of the five most influential families in Jingzhou.

"Exactly, this Chen family is responsible for the transshipment of Jingzhou salt." Zhuge highlights nodded and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Qi.

After taking Zhu Jian and looking at it briefly, Liu Qi exhaled. Even if he didn't understand the books at this time, he also knew the value of these more than a dozen books.

The Analects of Confucius, Shangshu, Guiguzi, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Zuo Zhuan..................

"I'm afraid this is more precious than the books of several families such as the Ponzi, right?" Liu Qi was surprised and looked at Zhuge Liang's eyes full of questions.

"Yes, these more than ten books are all necessary books for professors in colleges. This Chen family is really well-intentioned." Zhuge Liang sighed and said that he knew the situation of the Chen family. In the past, Liu Biao could tolerate the Chen family to control the transshipment of Jingzhou salt alone, but now that Liu Qi succeeds as Jingzhou Mu, it is hard to say whether the Chen family will still let the Chen family manage the transshipment of salt.

"I want to see the patriarch of the Chen clan, but I have to wait until it's over."

Liu Qi muttered that the Chen family did not want to show his feelings to him, but at this time, the whole Jingzhou family was thinking about how to avoid this matter, but he was the first to hand in the books alone, which was not comparable to the head of the ordinary family. And now he needs a person who knows how to run a business to help him manage Jingzhou's finances. It's okay to rely on the taxes handed over by Jingzhou for a short time, but it is inevitable that he will not make ends meet for a long time.

"Lord, now, I'm afraid that other families except the Chen family will hand in some more partial books with the Wang family. Will this college be postponed for some time?"

Yesterday, the gathering of the Jingzhou family in Jufulou has spread all over Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang and others also know this matter well.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't want to use the books they handed in, but the more partial the books they hand in, the more they will enrich the collection of books in the college. Hundreds of schools are much better than a single leader **."

Liu Qi smiled strangely. How could he not know the thoughts in the hearts of these families? He just wanted to test the reaction of these families through this matter. How many families in Jingzhou have potential? Only the family that can judge the situation can be conducive to the development of Jingzhou.

"Tell Uncle Ji that no matter what books these families hand in, it's okay, but one thing is that it can't be repeated."

"No." Hearing Liu Qi's words, Zhuge Liang knew Liu Qi's plan. Liu Qi obviously wanted to cultivate all kinds of talents.

..............................................................................

Shortly after the Chen family handed in the books, a housekeeper of the Wang family slowly came to the official residence of the Iraqi nationality to deal with political affairs.

"Is this the book handed in by the Wang family?" Yi Ji frowned and looked in front of him, and the middle-aged man who didn't even salute asked.

"Yes, this is the books handed in by the Wang family. These are all selected by my family leader himself. You should be careful." The middle-aged man looked at Yiji arrogantly and said with a disdainful face. The whole Jingzhou knew that Yiji was born in a poor family and that Yiji was not worthy of respect in the eyes of these families.

"Oh, I know you're gone." Yi Ji threw the book aside and didn't bother to remember it. He waved his hand to signal the middle-aged man to leave.

"You, I'm the housekeeper of the Wang family. You, a poor man, dare to be disrespectful to the Wang family. Do you know that this Wuling Taishou is a member of my Wang family?"

The middle-aged housekeeper pointed to Yi Ji with a gloomy face and almost cursed.

"Ha ha, get out of here."

Yi Ji laughed angrily and suddenly grabbed the package on the table and smashed his face on the middle-aged housekeeper: "Let your patriarch come in person, or you will refuse to hand in the books according to the Wang family."

"You, you... You are so bold. You, a son of a poor family, dare to fight against our Wang family. Aren't you afraid of losing your official?" The middle-aged housekeeper pointed to Yi Ji's angry face. Since Wang Can was appointed as the governor of Wuling, the whole man in Jingzhou dared to look down on the Wang family. Even his housekeeper was soaring and respected in Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, he suffered losses here today.

"What a big tone, can your Wang family cover the sky with one hand in Xiangyang? Throw it out for me." Yi Ji snorted coldly and shouted outside the door.

Immediately, two guards came in a few steps and escorted the middle-aged housekeeper up to throw him out of the official residence.

"Hence, leave these books and tell your patriarch when you go back and ask him to send them again." Yi Ji waved his hand to stop the two guards and pointed to the package in the middle-aged arms.

"If you dare to embezzle my Wang's things, aren't you afraid that my family head will go to Zhou Mu?" The middle-aged housekeeper's face turned blue at this time.

"Throw it out." Picking up the package, Yi Ji was too lazy to talk to the middle-aged housekeeper and said in a low voice.

"Let go of me, let go of me."

The two guards immediately dragged the middle-aged housekeeper out of the door. During this period, the middle-aged housekeeper kept shouting with an angry face. When they came to the gate of the courtyard, the two guards looked at each other and threw the middle-aged housekeeper out, and the middle-aged housekeeper fell on the bluestone ground in front of the door.
