Chapter 111 All night long

As night fell, the reading room of Huangzhou Zhouxue Library was brightly lit as before. Looking at the reading room, Du Dijun couldn't help but look embarrassed. Now the curfew has begun outside, so he can't go back, but if he wants to go in, it's afraid it won't be that easy.

"Brother, what should I do..." Di Yu asked on the side. The two brothers were like many people, looking forward to the lobby outside the reading room, and waiting for the number to see who left, so that they could make up for it in turn.

"Should you wait, I can't go back anyway."

"When will this be done?"

"Who knows, I can only wait."

Di Jun smiled bitterly. As a doctor in the Xiyang Palace, he was on duty in the shogunate today, so he was unable to come to the state to listen to Liu Xuan’s lecture on the "Shangshu". His younger brother Di Yu was also on duty in the state office, and he was unable to come to the state to listen to the lecture.

In fact, they thought it very clearly that Liu Xuan would definitely live in Xiyang for a while, and some people would listen to the lectures in the future. Unexpectedly, something big happened today: "The Book of Shangshu" was falsified!

I heard someone say it in the afternoon, and I felt incredible at the time, but I couldn't leave the official business. I could not leave the yamen in the afternoon and hurried to the provincial school library with my younger brother, Di Yu, who was also in the yamen. It was too late.

The reading room was full all night long, and there were still many people waiting in line. Brother Dijun complained when he saw this, but there was no way. The curfew had already begun. If they appeared on the street, it would be very troublesome to be stopped by the patrol team.

Both brothers are officials, and they are more likely to be punished by crimes. Whether it is Yuwen Wen, the lord of Di Jun, or Yuwen Wen, the lord of Di Yu, the lord of Di Yu, they are both selfless and have no affair to tell.

Di Jun regretted that if he exchanged some of the rice for money to buy the ancient Chinese "Shu Shu" during the last time, he would be able to read it at home now, but there are many books involved this time, so there would still be no one to buy.

He and his younger brother became officials and naturally received salary, but his father, Di Shiwen, was very close to him. Although he was far away in Guanzhong, he wrote letters from time to time to warn them not to embezzle and accept bribes. Therefore, the Di brothers saved the Lumi in addition to their daily expenses and were reluctant to buy too many books.

Anyway, you can come to the State Learning Library to read it. This is normal, but today I have nothing to do.

"I missed the daytime debate and read the book tonight?"

A person next to him asked, Di Jun nodded and replied with a wry smile: "How come you are one step late, and you are going to take a nap here tonight."

"Oh, the same is true for the next time. Come one step later." The man also smiled and shook his head. He was so idle that he simply started chatting with the other party in a low voice.

"You guy, can you tell what the debate is today?"

"I don't know very well, so I know that a man named Yang Sima had a poor reputation for Dr. Liu, saying that there are two doubts in the "Book of Shangshu". One is the problem of changing the road in the water, and the other is the problem of the time when Jincheng County was first established."

“What about other content?”

"That's not clear. Anyway, I heard that the Yang Sima still raised many questions."

In the lobby, there were many people whispering in groups of three or five, talking about the content of today's debate. Although most people were heard of it, they were still very interested when discussing it.

Seeing the discussion getting louder and louder, the librarians who maintained order quickly came forward to remind him. At this moment, several people came in outside the door, and their next actions attracted everyone's attention.

Banners made of white cloth were pulled up in the lobby, with large characters written on them. People came up to watch and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this a debate record?"

"Yes, this is the debate record between Dr. Liu and Sima Yang today!" the people said loudly, "This is the content confirmed by both sides of the debate. Now the provincial school general has mimeographed many copies!"

"The mimeographed paper is distributed to readers who are reading books in the reading room. They must be handed over and cannot be taken away when they leave. The content of the debate is written on these banners to facilitate everyone to watch while waiting here!"

As soon as the words were finished, people rushed up and looked carefully around the banner. In order to prevent stampede accidents, the librarians worked hard to maintain order: "Don't squeeze, don't make loud noises! There are many banners, everyone can look at them slowly!"

Di Jun and his younger brother were crowded in the crowd, looking at the banner seriously, the more they looked, the more surprised they looked. They were already stunned: "It turned out to be like this!"

I'm busy tonight!

......

There are six people in Zhouxue, a courtyard in the school district. Liu Zhuo, Liu Xuan, Yang Ji, Zheng Tong, Zhang Ke, and Zhang Hua are looking through the books in their hands under the lights. This is the record of today's debate, and the cost of printing and binding has just been printed.

The content was summarized by Zheng Tong, Zhang Ke and Zhang Hua, who served as the recorder, and confirmed by Liu Xuan and Yang Ji. The host Liu Zhuo confirmed it and then finalized the version after repeated proofreading. Then it was immediately taken to the school club for printing, binding, and returned to the hands of the six people again.

It was only three or four hours before the debate ended.

The reason for such a situation is that Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang strongly requested that the draft will be finalized tonight, and then the printing and binding will be started as soon as possible, and the publication will be completed as soon as possible.

The degree must be guaranteed, and the content must be guaranteed. This is a book that needs to be published in large quantities. Once it is published, there will be any errors and omissions, so the bad impact will not be restored.

Yang Ji didn't care, but Liu Xuan didn't dare to take it lightly. He read the book in his hand several times and was relieved only after he was sure there was no problem. Although he was speechless in the final debate, he didn't mind losing. What he minded was that his words were recorded incorrectly.

Being refuted was a bit of a loss of face, but Liu Xuan was thinking about whether there was really a problem with the ancient Chinese "Shangshu", so he wanted to let more people know the results of this debate as much as possible so that scholars all over the world could join the ranks of false criticism.

"The four words that Yang Sima said are really good. This book is published in the world and will surely arouse the enthusiasm of scholars from all walks of life to verify the book." Liu Zhuo closed the book, and he had repeatedly confirmed that the content was correct, and what was surprising was the degree of publishing books in the school club.

The craftsmen in the school community are too fast to carve the engravings!

Liu Xuan was also very surprised by this: "Zhongzong, the publishing of books in your society is so fast that Liu has now experienced it."

Zhang Hua just smiled. The secret of the quick publication of the school club is a secret. Of course, he knew the strangeness. Zhang Ke probably knew something, but the two would never reveal a few words. Now the book that was printed is fine, so the next step can be started.

"Guangbo, will the next books you and Sima Yang be printed with your names. Is it feasible?"

"But." After Liu Xuan finished speaking, he followed the Henan dialect accent and said: "Zhong!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Everyone here laughed when they heard this, and Zhang Hua confirmed to Liu Zhuo whether he would agree to stamp his name in the name of on-site host (witness).

"It's okay."

Zhang Hua nodded: "This book will also print the names of the three of us, are you wondering?"

Zheng Tong and Zhang Ke had no objection, and it was their honor to be able to leave a name in this book.

The reason why it is so solemn is to highlight the seriousness of the book. Both sides of the debate, the host and the on-site host have left their names, which means they are responsible for it. Let’s not talk about it for the time being, the names of Er Liu are well-known.

Speaking of publishing books, Zhang Hua, an "industry insider", started to talk endlessly. He took out a few "samples" to let everyone discuss and choose a "plan" and then publish it formally.

'When studying and publishing, it must be a fine product' This is the goal of the school club, so the books in the school club are quite distinctive, especially the fine books. Not only are they used for paper, but their cover design, as well as the double-sided anti-counterfeiting shading, etc. are quite distinctive.

"There are countless fakes in the world, so when some people know about the two doubts raised by Yang Sima today, it is very likely that after some people can modify the relevant content of the "Biography of Shangshu" that is circulated in the world, and continue to confuse the public."

"So, the upcoming book is not enough to have debate content just because it is a matter of meaning. I have to add a lot of content..."

"First, annotations must be attached. The content of the books cited by both parties in the debate must be included. Secondly, the "Book of the Book of Documents" must be attached, and books involving the dialects of both parties in the debate must also be attached."

Zhang Hua put forward the suggestions one by one. As Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan listened, their eyes widened: "Zhongzong, can this book be published like this?"

"Of course! The so-called citation of scriptures and classics should be used in debates, and the same should be used in publishing books."

Zhang Ke took out a 'sample' and showed it to the two Dr. Liu: "This is a style, from the order, catalog, text, annotations, attachments, and reference book catalogs, which are different. As for the attachment, it can be an excerpt of a certain paragraph of a certain book, or a whole book..."

Liu Xuan took the 'sample' and looked satisfied: "It seems that there are still many things to be busy tonight?"
Chapter completed!
