Chapter 101 Whose disciple was Wei Yang?
After having breakfast with the Qin family in the main courtyard, Chu Yian left the Duke's Mansion with Xiao Fu and the servants.
Her books are sold at Qingshan Bookstore and other bookstores under the Qingshan Bookstore name. If you want to know first-hand information, you naturally have to go to Qingshan Bookstore.
Fortunately, Qingshan Bookstore was not far away, and Chu Yian's carriage arrived there in half an hour.
Qingshan Bookstore is located not far from the entrance of Qingshan Academy. Its main purpose is to make it convenient for students to buy the books they need and to make some money at the same time.
Before Chu Yian got off the carriage, she heard the sound of reading coming from the academy. She curiously lifted the curtain and looked out, but saw only a huge academy sitting there, but no students.
Scholars in this era get up very early. It is morning reading time now, but no one comes out.
As a result, the bookstore was also deserted, with only a few students helping out in the bookstore.
Some of them were copying books for the bookstore to earn some money, while others were just here to buy some things. They were in a hurry and would rush back to the bookstore with the things they bought, running very fast.
Chu Yian opened her mouth wide. She had always known that the ancients always respected their teachers, and students always respected their teachers.
I didn’t know that scholars in this era also come to class late.
Xiao Fu looked at this scene curiously and asked Chu Yian sincerely, "Miss, the way they are late looks like you, the way you used to rush home after almost missing the deadline by climbing over the wall to play?"
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian covered Xiao Fu's mouth with his hand: "Who climbed over the wall to go out and play? Who?!"
Xiao Fu's eyes widened, and she quickly pointed at herself and said in a muffled voice, "I, it's me, I'm going out!"
Only then did Chu Yian let her go, satisfied.
Xiao Fu looked at her aggrievedly, then happily followed Chu Yian out of the carriage and walked into Qingshan Bookstore.
There were few people in the bookstore. The shopkeeper saw her and asked enthusiastically, "What kind of books would you like to buy, young lady?"
Chu Yian: "Just take a look."
"Then please do as you please." After saying that, he lowered his head and read the book in his hand.
Chu Yian walked around the bookstore.
Qingshan Bookstore is quite large, with a wide variety of books, but at a glance, almost all of them are books by sages, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, Tongyi, ancient poems, some storybooks, etc.
The book "The Great Qin Empire" was placed in the most conspicuous position, and anyone who walked into the bookstore could see it at a glance.
Chu Yian walked over, picked up a book and turned directly to the last page. It must be said that Qingshan Bookstore was really quick. What she wrote last night had been copied out overnight.
Xiao Fu, who was standing nearby, was very curious when she saw the book: "The Great Qin Empire? Is there such a dynasty?"
After saying that, he picked up a book and started flipping through it.
Chu Yian paused his movements and looked at Xiaofu calmly. The girl turned to the first page.
Xiaofu has no interest in classic books at all. They are too boring and hypnotic. Therefore, she usually reads storybooks to relieve her boredom.
But Chu Yian keenly noticed that she seemed to be immersed in the book after just turning a few pages.
The ancients did not have the habit of reading quickly, but read carefully. Xiaofu was no exception, she read very carefully.
As he read, he walked to a place with better light, holding the book, and completely forgot about Chu Yian.
Chu Yian felt proud. Although this was a history book, it could attract people from different worlds.
Look, even Xiaofu, who doesn't like reading, couldn't help but immerse herself in it.
Chu Yian also took the book and walked to a place with good lighting.
Her eyes were on the paper but unfocused, her mind clearly somewhere else.
After waiting for a long time, a dull drum sound came from the academy.
Chu Yian's eyes suddenly lit up. They were finally out of class, and she could hardly sit still.
Ancient academies had many ways of notifying students of the start and end of classes, including beating drums, ringing bells, shaking bells, or sending people to make announcements, and the methods varied.
Qingshan Academy plays drums, and different meanings are conveyed through different drum rhythms.
Rapid and continuous drumbeats indicate the start of class, while slow drumbeats indicate the end of get out of class.
Of course, other information can be conveyed through the sound of drums, but Chu Yian has never specifically looked into it, so he is not very clear about it.
After waiting for a while, a group of students wearing Qingshan Academy uniforms ran quickly towards the bookstore, and even the shopkeeper silently put down the book in his hand.
As soon as the group of people came in, they went straight to the bookshelf where "The Great Qin Empire" was located, and quickly snatched away all the books on the bookshelf.
The person who got the book was very excited. He paid the money and started reading the book.
Those who didn't get any glared at the shopkeeper in dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and move all the rubbings out. Why don't you just put them outside every day? Why are you hiding them?"
The shopkeeper smiled and had all the copies of The Great Qin Empire brought out. "Wouldn't it be inconvenient to leave them outside?"
The other students snorted and pointed to other bookshelves: "These books have been sitting there for a long time and no one's buying them anyway, so let's clean them up and make room."
The shopkeeper smiled but didn't answer.
What a joke. "The Great Qin Empire" has no worries about sales at all. Instead, other books are worried about sales. They just want to rely on this book to boost sales of other books. How is it possible to really empty the bookshelf and put only one copy of "The Great Qin Empire" on it?
The sales of this book have always been good, and it has become the main book sold in Qingshan Bookstore. The number of copies is increasing every day, and generally it can meet the book-buying needs of the college students.
The students were all very satisfied after buying the books they wanted. Some of them even sat down on the ground and started reading.
They didn't read very fast, but the content wasn't too much, so they finished it quickly.
The students turned the pages again in despair, but found nothing.
Suddenly, anger rose from his heart, and he cursed: "Why stop here? The six states of Shandong have changed, and now what?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's obvious that Qin will invade the six kingdoms. Even with my eyes closed, I can guess that it will be a series of tough battles. I wonder how long it will take for Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang to unify the six kingdoms."
"No, I've thought about it carefully, and it seems that there aren't many capable generals among the Qin State.
Ying Qian was still a recluse, and Che Ying was still immature. If a war really broke out, who would they send? It wasn't like the King of Qin, Duke Xiaogong, would go in person, right?
The army has risen, but the generals... sigh."
"I think it's possible. Duke Xiao followed Duke Xian of Qin into battle at a very young age. His ability to command battles must be quite strong. There seems to be nothing wrong with him taking command."
"What are you thinking? How can it be so easy to lead the army in person? If something happens to Duke Xiao, will Wei Yang be left alone to carry out the reforms?"
"But Duke Xiao and Wei Yang aren't worried about the generals. Do they already have a candidate? They can't let Wei Yang, a civil official, take the position, right?"
"I have a question. By the way, whose disciple was Wei Yang? Do you remember?"
"It seems I mentioned before that Wei Yang should be a disciple of Guiguzi..."
At this point, everyone fell silent and couldn't help but gasp.
Guiguzi? !
What are Guiguzi’s disciples good at?
Law, military science, strategy...
