The literary atmosphere in Yongzhou is actually not very prosperous, and this is mainly related to the geographical location of Yongzhou.

Cheng Ling came out of Xiaoyongheqian Street, walked and watched, while pricking up his ears to receive various information.

During this period, I passed by several bookstores and listened to the conversations of some scholars, with some similar feelings.

For example, a scholar complained: "Why are there a lot of books in your bookshop, but there are not many books of the time? It seems that they are all the three of them, and I can read them all. How can I recite them?

Don't you find a way to find some new books to come back?"

The shopkeeper also sighed: "Oh, look at what your husband said. Do you think I don't want to accept new books? There is really no way! Our Yongzhou is not as good as Shangyang and Shanyang, and the words are easier to sell than the current texts.

What can I do?"

Why are verbal books more popular than the Chinese writing?

Although Cheng Ling did not talk to others, she listened while walking, silently observing and analyzing, and she had some judgment on this in her heart.

Yongzhou is close to the sea and has developed business, so people's hearts will inevitably be more impetuous. There will naturally be fewer people who can firmly believe in learning. Businessmen are pursuing profits and making more money by selling calligraphy than selling literature during the study. Of course, they will be more inclined to be more inclined to be more inclined to be more inclined to be more inclined to be more inclined to be more inclined to be more inclined to be more

Collecting the script.

In addition, although the imperial examination system of Wei State is much more perfect than that of Qi State, the popularity of the imperial examination has actually happened in the past twenty years.

It was the current Emperor Wei who was vigorously promoting the imperial examinations and enrolling scholars and the system of enrolling imperial examinations was implemented in the Wei State.

However, the monopoly of the gentry on knowledge is still a big problem, and breaking this monopoly is not a matter of time.

In the folk, especially for ordinary merchants and poor people, it may not be difficult to read, but it is very difficult to get in touch with classic books that are profound, knowledgeable, and helpful for scientific research.

Many aristocratic families even use collections as their foundation!

As a result, in the bookstores on the market, storytelling books and miscellaneous books are popular. As for the scientific literature and various classic collections, it is rare and difficult to see.

In such a huge city of Yongzhou, there are not many bookstores. What Cheng Ling originally thought of - looking for some medical books, he actually found a lonely life.

I can only say that she thought too beautifully before, and the shopkeeper of one of the bookshops revealed the mystery. People said, "Oh, husband, if you want to read medical books, you shouldn't come to the bookshop, go to the clinic to find it. Maybe

Is there a doctor who is willing to sell you one or two books?"

This is a joke with a joke. Cheng Ling bowed his hand and gave up with a smile.

Otherwise, how can we say that information monopoly in ancient times? Otherwise, how can we say that there are many quack doctors in this era?

It is all caused by information obstruction and secret techniques. After comparison, medicine and literature are both monopolized, but many things in business are thriving.

Until he walked to Xuefu Street, Cheng Ling suddenly saw a crowd of people rushing in front of him, and voices cheered loudly: "Zhaixing Tower is open! Mr. Lu watched the astrological signs last night, saying that today's You hour is an excellent time, you can open the pill.

Star Tower!”

"It's great, the hour of You is here, pass soon!"

"I don't know what the conditions for entering Zhaixing Tower this time are? The last poem and essay were finally selected, which is too difficult."

"Last time I was a couplet, and I took thirty-five people into Zhaixing Tower. If this time I was a couplet, that would be great!"

"Hey, I think of beauty. Even if I pair couplets, that's not something that ordinary people can match. Do you think of a lot of thirty-five people? It's not an exaggeration to choose one in a hundred, or one in a thousand..."

Listening to these comments, Cheng Ling walked quickly along the crowd, and gradually understood the Zhaixing Tower.

It turns out that Zhaixing Tower is a special bookstore opened by the Lu family in Yongzhou. Needless to say, there are so many books in the bookstore. Many of the classics inside are rare books of the Lu family, which are extremely rare outside.

Almost no scholar in Yongzhou doesn’t want to read it in Zhaixing Tower.

However, although Zhaixing Tower is open to the public, the opening time is not certain. Before each opening, it is said that Lu's husband needs to watch stars and divine to determine the time.

This time therefore has extremely strong instability. Sometimes, if the Zhaixing Tower is not open once for ten days or half a month, sometimes after three or five days, it may open again.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this instability that Zhaixing Tower has become more and more popular.

After all, people have such bad habits and can't cherish what they can easily obtain. Instead, this kind of mysterious and mysterious existence, which seems to exist or not, is particularly attractive.

The fascinating feature of Zhaixing Tower is not only its irregular opening, but also that even if it is open, its entry threshold is very high.

Every time, the introductory test questions before Zhaixing Tower will attract countless people to watch.

Not only scholars, but also many idle people watching the fun. Even if they cannot answer the test questions correctly and enter the Star Tower, it is a grand occasion even if they watch the fun next to them.

Who wouldn't want to watch this kind of excitement?

For scholars, this is actually a disguised opportunity to make a name for themselves. What are you waiting for after studying hard for many years? Apart from fame and fortune, isn’t it just a manifestation of saints in front of others?

While following the crowd, Cheng Ling listened to various information, he felt that the idea of ​​Zhaixing Tower was really wonderful.

The Lu family in Yongzhou is worthy of being able to firmly grasp the Yongzhou Chamber of Commerce. Just by looking at this Zhaixing Tower, you can imagine how hard the people in charge of the Lu family are.

No wonder the Lu family was able to maintain its local status as a rich family between the two powerful dragons, Luo family and Fuyang King, and form a three-legged tripod with them.

Cheng Ling thought, and soon, he saw that the crowd in front of him stopped surging. There was a seven-story building on the roadside in the left hand direction, with starry eaves and colorful embroidery flying, standing in the world.

Zhaixing Tower is actually seven floors high!

In this era when all kinds of buildings need to be regulated, it is really rare to see seven-story buildings.

I don’t know how Luo did it, and built such a tall building on such a street?

Cheng Ling looked up at the roof of the building through the crowd, and then looked in the direction of the roof, but saw green mountains opposite the building, and the sunset was colorful.

It turns out that not far from the other side of Zhaixing Tower is the famous Yongzhou City.
