Chapter 1428

"This book is a single one I collected for a friend. I want to keep one by myself..." He said, carefully taking out a wooden box from under the counter and opening it to reveal the books inside.

The man carefully took out the book and said to the boy, "this is you. I can rest assured that if other people, I will not take it out."

Liu Jin looked at the book, it seems that some difficult to say, fortunately, this man is very smart, see what he wants to ask, he took the initiative to say: "this copy, give you five Liang."

Five Liang, Tang Xiaotang read that book, the value is definitely more than one hundred Liang.

The boss is really able to make money. Liu Jin copied a copy for him. He didn't do anything and directly made 20 times. Liu Jin, who is in charge of the most important work, can't even get 10% of the profits.

Although she thinks the salary is too low, it is obvious that Liu Jin is very satisfied with the price.

"Well, thank you very much." Liu Jin nodded her head gently.

"I'm ready for you this time. Just copy." The man said, take out a stack of white paper and an ink bar from the bottom, carefully clip the book in the middle of the paper, put them all into the wooden box, then close the lid, push the box to Liu Jin: "try to be quick, the guest should be in a hurry."

"In seven days, I'll hand in the book."

The boy took the wooden box and whispered.

This book is not thick, with his speed, at most five days can copy, but in case, Liu Jin or more said two days.

"In this way, we agreed that you would come back in seven days." the man was obviously very satisfied, but he added: "Ziyan, don't be too anxious. You can't copy this book badly!"

"I know. Don't worry."

When Liu Jin was about to leave, the girl who had not spoken in his arms suddenly opened her mouth.

"Wait a minute. Don't go yet."

The young man's steps, he did not know why the girl asked him to stop: "what's the matter?"

"I want to see what books are in this shop," Tang Xiaotang said. "Maybe there will be my people."

Her people Are they other spirits?

Seeing the boy standing in the same place and not leaving, the man was slightly surprised. As usual, the boy would leave immediately after taking the book. How did he stop today: "Ziyan, what's the matter?"

"Nothing. I want to see it again." Liu Jin said in a low voice.

"Yes, Ziyan, please." Although surprised, he thought of what books he might want to buy, and the man immediately agreed.

If he is interested in any book, he will charge him less, so that he can make money and get another favor from him.

The bottom of the man's heart with abacus, Liu Jin has in Tang Xiaotang's voice went to the wall in front of the bookshelf.

The person standing in front of the bookshelf glanced at him, then went back to look at the books on the shelf, while the person standing in front of the other bookshelf didn't even look back, completely immersed in the books.

Tang Xiaotang didn't quite understand what they were looking at. Most of the books on the shelves had only a spine. Only a few of them were open, and there were not many contents in them. They could read them at a glance.

The clothes of these people are very common, not like those who can afford books. Their attitude towards books is almost fanatical.

Tang Xiaotang looked at the books on the shelf and asked Liu Jin about their prices. With the answers and the words on the book, she had a general idea.

So her tone showed some disappointment: "there is no one like me here, let's go."

The boy nodded to the boss in silence, then turned and went out.

Walking on the way back, Tang Xiaotang thought about how to tell Liu Jin his way, and suddenly heard the young man's very light voice: "don't be sad, you will see the people."

He thought to himself that he would help her find other books when he became an official in the future.

"No, I didn't think about it." Tang Xiaotang didn't know that he was thinking about this. She wanted to laugh, but she felt a little moved.

At this time, Liu Jin was still such a good and innocent young man. Even if he had only a little kindness to him, he would find a way to repay him.

"I'm thinking about other things," Tang Xiaotang told him. "I saw those books in the bookstore just now. Why don't people touch them?"

"Because the books in it are all hand copied, which is very expensive." Liu Jin stopped for a moment and said, "but it's not particularly precious. The really precious copies are all collected in the back house and won't be displayed."

"There may be one of your kind."

"That's right." He was still thinking about what she had just said, which made Tang Xiaotang feel ashamed.

"Thank you," she said with a smile. She began to change the topic. "It doesn't matter if we can find someone. If we don't have a chance, or if we volunteer, other people won't be aware of our existence."

"I see." This is what he expected. Since ancient times, no one has ever said anything about the spirit of the book. If everyone could hear it, there would have been a record. Even if there were no ordinary books, there would have been a few words in those strange books.Liu Jin thinks that she has read a lot of books. He has not only read the classics and history collection, but also some very unpopular anecdotes, and even copied the family tree and prescriptions.

But before he met her, he did not see the record of "Shuling" in any book.

"What books do you usually copy?" Tang Xiaotang starts to change her topic.

"Most of them are anthologies, and occasionally there are some unique notes." Liu Jin replied.

If there are many people who buy a book, he can copy it. If no one has bought it all the time, he has no chance to copy it.

Anthology? Tang Xiaotang remembers that Liu Jin copied that book that day. It seems that it's something like strategy theory. It should be the book needed by the imperial examination.

When she asked Liu Jin a few more questions, she had a complete understanding of the civilization level of the world.

There is no such detailed record in the materials, but the level of technology here is lower than she imagined, because they just invented woodblock printing.

And because engraving takes a lot of time and energy, and books are expensive, not everyone can afford to buy them, so this technology is only used in a few large cities, not everywhere.

And the paper is expensive and difficult to keep, usually people want to read a book, are to go to the bookshop at that time to read, or borrow back to read, conditional will choose to copy a copy.

Therefore, most of the scholars are poor, and the most important measure of the world's aristocratic family is the number of books in his family.
