    Seeing Sun Yuanqi asking, Wang Guowei was also a little surprised, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he carefully worded his words: "I said, not long ago I saw the Tang manuscript "Laozi Hua Hu Jing" in Liulichang. It was very exquisite, but the price was 120 taels.  Silver. Because this book is not urgently needed by the school, I didn¡¯t buy it. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Seeing Wang Guowei and everyone looking at him, Sun Yuanqi realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly covered it up: "Haha, I'm sorry! I just heard Jing'an say the name 'Laozi Hua Jing', and I thought it was strange, so I was a little surprised.  "

    Wang Guowei didn't think it existed, and he enthusiastically explained at the moment: "It makes sense that Principal Baixi doesn't know about this book. As early as the time of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Fuwei, the wine worshiper of Tianshi Dao, argued with the monk Bo Yuan  So he forged a volume of "Laozi's Transformation of Hu Jing", which tells the story of how Laozi rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass, crossed the quicksand, entered Tianzhu, transformed into a Buddha, and taught the Hu people Buddhism. Later, he added  It was widely adapted into ten volumes and became the main basis for Taoists to attack Buddhism, hoping to improve the status of Taoism and surpass Buddhism.

    "Because this book caused a fierce conflict between Taoism and Buddhism, in the Tang Dynasty, the two emperors Gaozong and Zhongzong ordered the ban on the destruction of this scripture. In the 22nd year of Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty ordered the burning of "  Among the forged scriptures in the Dao Zang, the first one was the "Laozi Hua Jing". Since then, this sutra has been lost, and it is not even included in the "Orthodox Dao Zang" compiled in the Ming Dynasty.

    "Not to mention you, Principal Baixi, even ordinary scholars don't know that this book exists. The calligraphers in Liulichang are all experts in bibliography. Naturally, they know that this Tang Dynasty manuscript is the only surviving one, so they ask for a lot of money.  "

    Sun Yuanqi seemed to be listening to the lecture, but in fact he was thinking in his heart: I don¡¯t know how many Dunhuang suicide notes have been scattered now. Since they are even in Beijing, I think they are not complete.  In this case, there will be more than one or two people who have wrong ideas, and I am afraid that among them there are indispensable foreigners who want to take advantage of others and the Japanese who are in cahoots with others.  It seems that I can't wait any longer. Even if I postpone my trip to the United States this year, I still want to go to Dunhuang and meet the Taoist Wang who sweeps the floor!

    But how to go to the remote and desolate northwest requires careful consideration.  After all, this is different from the oracle bones, which can be found by digging underground for a few pennies per pound. People don't take it seriously and can be done by just finding a few simple old farmers.  Many people now know the goodness of the Dunhuang suicide note. If he goes there blatantly, those officials will be red-eyed, and even the skin and flesh will be swallowed!

    Sun Yuanqi was thinking wildly here, but Zhang Yuanji patted the table lightly: "When it comes to buying books, I have a clue!"

    Hearing the sound of the crime, Sun Yuanqi came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Jusheng, please speak!"

    Zhang Yuanji continued: "In the autumn and winter of last year, Mr. Cai Heqin wrote a letter saying that the Shaoxing Xu family's Rong Jing Zhu Shi Zhai collection was for sale and asked if our school was interested in purchasing it. Because the collection of books had more than 50 cabinets, the school's funds were not tight at that time.  , so I politely refused. It had only been a few months, and those books were valuable and had not yet been sold. If we want to buy books, why not ask Cai Heqin to see if we can reach an agreement? After all, a book collection club  It¡¯s more systematic.¡±

    Luo Zhenyu on the side interjected at this time: "In the 24th year of Guangxu's reign, the Shaoxing Xu brothers and I founded the Farmers' Association and the "Agricultural Science Journal" in Shanghai, and purchased land in Kunshan to reclaim wasteland and establish a planting experimental site. During this period, there were  After a period of contact, we got to know them very well. The Xu brothers were wealthy, fond of books and studious, and their collection of books was the largest in eastern Zhejiang.

    "Especially my brother Xu Shulan, who is very open-minded. All ancient books are not kept secret like others, but are allowed to be borrowed by others. He Qin has been in the Xu family's school journal for many years, so his knowledge has improved day by day, and he has finally won the gold list.  .

    "In the past few years, he donated more than 30,000 taels of silver on his own to establish the Guyue Library in Gugongyuan, Fucheng, Shaoxing, for free reading by scholars in his hometown. What a great contribution! It's a pity that this move also depleted their family wealth, and Xu Shulan added that the year before last  His death from illness has left his family extremely poor, and now he can only support his family by selling books!"

    Speaking of this, Luo Zhenyu looked sentimental.

    Sun Yuanqi was also a little touched, and said to Zhang Yuanji and Wang Guowei: "You guys discuss it. If it's suitable, even if the price is a little more expensive, buy them!"

    After thinking for a while, he added: "Since Xianfeng, there have been invasions by foreign powers and internal turmoils such as Fa, Nian, and Hui. Many books that have been collected for a long time have been burned and lost. If you don't pay attention to preservation now, you will regret it in the future.  And. If there is any good book collection for sale in the future, we will use the school¡¯s deposit to buy it. After all, it is a precious legacy left by our ancestors!¡±

    Yan Fu said: "Seriously speaking, the books destroyed by civil strife are more valuable than those taken away by foreigners."It seems that Suzhou¡¯s local specialties are the top pick!

    Sun Yuan thought about something again: "By the way, if we set up an affiliated school in Suzhou, I'm afraid we won't be able to find suitable people to manage it for a while? I often go abroad, and you have to handle school affairs. Mr. Shuyan is responsible for teaching and  I can¡¯t even get away from editing a journal!¡±

    Zhang Yuanji touched the beard on his mouth and said with a smile: "I think of someone from the south, he is the most suitable!"

    Hearing what he said, Sun Yuanqi also smiled and said: "Are you talking about him? If you can invite him, that would be the best!"

    "Then let's try our best to learn from Kong Ming and Zhou Lang and see if they are the same person?" Zhang Yuanji suggested.

    It is rare for two people to be so elegant. How could Sun Yuanqi refuse? He also laughed and said: "Okay!"

    Opening his hands, Sun Yuanqi saw the word "Cai" written on his hand, while Zhang Yuanji wrote the word "Heqin" on his hand.

    They looked at each other and laughed.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
