After Zhao Yan left.
In the main hall, only Brother Zheng was left. Even the palace servants had been dismissed by him.
He needed an absolutely quiet environment to think.
He could feel that the method that Zhao Yan had mentioned just now was not as simple as selecting some people to manage the bookstore.
Examination selection…
It seemed that if it was placed in the Great Qin Imperial Court, it would be applicable!
"Exam…"
Brother Zheng muttered to himself as he made some plans.
Now, Great Qin was still using the recommendation system. Even Zhao Yan, who did not understand much about government, knew this.
The flaws of this system were actually the same as the nine-grade system of the Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Nepotism!
It was obvious that the people recommended by the officials were people he was close to or knew.
If he didn't know her, he didn't know if she had the ability.
This way, there was a lot of room for maneuver.
Even if they didn't have much talent or were ordinary, as long as they had connections, money, and power, it was easy to be recommended.
As a result, Great Qin's nobles controlled its knowledge and the path to promotion.
To select civilians, the first thing to do was to let them learn knowledge.
Otherwise, so what if he was chosen?
His ability was not enough.
Secondly, the promotion path also made it impossible for the truly talented civilians to display their talents, because no one could see it.
"I have to think carefully about how to resolve this matter…"
Brother Zheng had already thought of countless plans, but his thoughts were still a mess.
After all, this was something completely new, and there were still many things that needed to be considered in order to adapt it to Great Qin.
How could he think clearly in such a short period of time?
......
On Zhao Yan's side.
He had already arrived at the bookstore according to the address given by Dun Ruo.
"Whoa, not bad!"
He looked up and saw that the signboard was pretty good.
World Bookstore!
At the side.
Dun Ruo smiled and said,
"The words on this plaque were personally written by His Majesty and also stamped. I'm afraid he wants to help you!”
A simple and unadorned small seal was carved on the wooden board to make a plaque. On it was the imperial seal of the First Emperor.
Isn't there a plate of noodles now!
Ancestral Dragon had inscribed the signboard of the imperial seal, so any official with some knowledge in Xianyang City would not dare to find trouble with this bookstore.
Zhao Yan nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll mention it to him next time!”
This meant that he wanted to praise him in front of His Majesty.
Dun Ruo was a little surprised, and his smile became more genuine.
"Then why don't you follow me in and take a look?”
Zhao Yan walked into the brand new bookstore under the guidance of Dun Ruo.
The place was very spacious according to his previous request. The tall cedar bookcase was a few meters high and extended from the ground to the roof. There were also many small ladders beside it, making it convenient to pick up books at any time.
Such bookshelves filled the entire bookstore!
Of course, due to the limitations of the times, the bookstore was only a single-story building at the moment. It was not the two-story or three-story building that Zhao Yan wanted.
But it didn't matter. He could just expand it in the future!
"Not bad, not bad…"
Zhao Yan nodded in satisfaction as he looked up and asked Dun Ruo,
"Then, where is the place where the books are printed?”
Dunruo slapped his thigh.
"Aiya, I forgot to tell you-"
"In the backyard of this bookstore, there is a small workshop that specializes in providing paper and printing for the bookstore.”
As expected.
Zhao Yan followed him to the back door of the bookstore. After lifting the curtain, he saw a busy courtyard.
There were many shirtless men inside.
Some of them were carrying raw materials for making paper, such as tree bark, fishing nets, etc., while others were carrying paper that had already been made and walking around in a hurry.
It looked like they were all busy…
"How many books have been prepared?"
Zhao Yan turned around and asked.
Dunruo pointed at the pile of books under the eaves.
"The printed ones are all there now.”
"Before this, not only did I have to decorate the shop, but I also had to re-manufacture all the paper-making and printing tools. For example, I had to make the clay word modules one by one.”
"Therefore, even if the renovation and manufacturing were carried out at the same time, it would still take a lot of time.”
"The official printing just started two days ago!”
Zhao Yan nodded in understanding.
If he wanted to open a shop, he had to make sufficient preparations.
Not to mention that paper making and printing were completely new. Not only the tools, but even the craftsmen had to be trained from the beginning. The time cost was naturally higher.
"It's okay. Take your time. There's still enough time.”
He gestured for Dun Ruo to squat down and patted him on the shoulder like a little adult. He encouraged,
"If there's anything you lack, just tell me directly!”
"Of course, if you need money, you should go look for him…I don't have money.”
Of course, he was referring to Brother Zheng.
Even if the reason is not straight, the spirit is strong!
Where did Zhao Yan, a child, get the money?
He still had to fight with his father!
