Zhao Yan, who was usually friendly and quick-witted, said with a cold face,
"You only see that I'm young and don't even have the chance to show off my abilities. Isn't this abnormally narrow-minded?”
Han Sheng's face turned red and he finally said,"
"You're just a three-year-old child. How capable can you be? Could it be that he had started studying in his mother's womb?”
It seemed that he was not sure about his ability, but that was all he could do with his eloquence.
Zhao Yan imitated his disdainful look and snorted coldly.
"Although I don't know which sect you are from, I believe you should have heard of the story of the two children debating the sun in 'Liezi'.”
"Even a sage like Confucius is not ashamed to ask his subordinates and admit that he is inferior to a child. Look at your character…Are you worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him?”
At this moment, Han Sheng had obviously come back to his senses.
He quickly calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he said bluntly,
"I don't know how much you know about the importance of the World Bookstore, but in my opinion, it will be an important force that will push Great Qin forward! It shouldn't be controlled by a child!”
Hearing his words, Zhao Yan stopped scolding him. Instead, he said with interest,
"Then tell me, how important do you think the World Bookstore is?”
He became serious and thought for a while before answering,
"In my opinion, the importance of the bookstore is reflected in two aspects.”
"First, the bamboo slips are not sold here, but the so-called paper that is light and convenient to carry.”
"It is said that this paper is not only convenient to carry, but it is also a hundred times cheaper than silk books! This would greatly increase the influence of books!”
"I think this should be an item exclusive to the bookstore. At least, I haven't seen it anywhere else.”
"The second point is that the books in the bookstore are cheap.”
"Since ancient times, the price and rarity of bamboo slips have remained high, resulting in only rich families being able to afford to read. If ordinary people want to read, they can only borrow them, and they will often be looked down upon.”
"With such a low price, I think anyone who really wants to study can save up and buy a few books!”
"This is the same as the first point. It also has a very important impact on the spread of knowledge.”
After hearing the second point, Zhao Yan laughed before he could say anything.
"Since you admire it so much, do you know who set the price of this book?”
Dunruo had a mocking expression.
Han Sheng had a bad feeling…
"That's right, it's exactly what you think.”
Dun Ruo said word by word,
"The paper was invented by the young master, and the price was also set by him!”
F * ck!
Han Sheng cursed in his heart.
Why did he have to slap the other side after slapping one face?？？
This kid doesn't care about martial ethics!
Zhao Yan smiled slightly, his tone so calm that he did not sound like a child at all.
"World Bookstore's current scale is only the first step.”
"What I want is to educate the world and make everyone like a dragon!”
Han Sheng was stunned on the spot.
"Now you know that a three-year-old's brain is much better than yours, right?”
Zhao Yan was no longer that angry. He was more of a laughing stock.
"Besides, do you know what the deeper meaning of the selection you passed this time is?”
Selection?
The deeper meaning?
Han Sheng frowned and thought for a while. He felt something flash across his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.
After a while, he finally gave up thinking and asked shamelessly,
"Please enlighten me."
Zhao Yan was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded.
"To tell you the truth, I plan to ask His Majesty to promote this method of selecting talents through special examinations to the entire Great Qin Dynasty.”
Examination to select talents?
Spread it to the entire court?
His mind was filled with question marks again…
Han Sheng pondered for a long time but didn't answer.
He scratched his head and blushed, but his curiosity prompted him to ask in a low voice,"
"Dare I ask, how should this method be implemented?”
"After all, there are so many positions in the royal court, and each position is very different. Compared to this small bookstore, it's probably more than a hundred times more complicated.”
Zhao Yan realized that he was becoming more and more convinced of himself, so he didn't hold a grudge against him. He paced around and said,
"The first thing to do is to let as many people as possible read and learn, no matter what school they are from.”
"Because no matter what sect it is, it has its own meaning and value!”
"As for the second point, it is to not rigidly adhere to the system of recommending officials. We must also give ordinary civilians the opportunity to be discovered by the court.”
"We can divide the talents that the imperial court needs into a few categories, such as Legalism and Confucianism, and then train them according to the official departments they are assigned to. This way, they will learn faster and their specialties will be more suitable!”
Among everyone present, the person who understood Zhao Yan's meaning the most was Han Sheng, the sharp-tongued person.
He stared at Zhao Yan with his mouth agape and muttered to himself,
"So that's how it is…It can actually be like this…"
After a while, Han Sheng sighed and said,"
"This one is sincerely convinced. I admit that my skills are inferior to others. If you want to kill me or cut me up, I'll listen to you!”
Zhao Yan asked curiously,
"Why would I kill you? What good would it do me to kill you?”
Han Sheng:
“……”
He pondered for a moment before he finally cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Zhao Yan.
"I was narrow-minded just now. First, I judged people by their appearances and was stubborn. Then, I spoke rudely to you and His Majesty.”
"I'm convinced now…"
"Even if you don't kill me, I will ask for punishment. I am willing to be sent to be a cavalry slave.”
Zhao Yan's eyes flashed.
Initially, he had a bad impression of Han Sheng because he remembered the story of the monkey who had become a crown. He felt that not only did this person not know how to speak, but he was also too arrogant.
Now, it seemed that his arrogance was true, but his nature was not that bad.
The most important thing was that this person had real talent!
"I won't kill you, and I won't let you become a mount slave.”
Zhao Yan said slowly,
"On the contrary, I want you to control the operation of the entire World Bookstore!”
As soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent!
Han Sheng himself was also stunned by the result.
"This is indeed a little inappropriate…"
he said slowly.
Zhao Yan smiled and tilted his head to look at him.
He tilted his head and looked at Han Sheng."
"Although I like to be close to people, I also cherish talent.”
"There's a reason why I chose you to be the manager of the bookstore.”
"After the bookstore is established, once the news of its opening spreads, the news of many royal books being printed here will definitely spread throughout the world…"
"I'm afraid that by that time, Xianyang and even the entire Guanzhong region will have an endless stream of talents pouring in.”
"I think you can handle it!"
Having been acknowledged, Han Sheng opened his mouth again, but he found that he could not say anything.
"This one, no…this subordinate! This subordinate will definitely not disappoint Little Young Master!"
Han Sheng maintained his posture of cupping his hands, his body trembling slightly from excitement.
"From today onwards, this subordinate will live and die with the bookstore!!!”
