Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 216
In less than three days, in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, in Xianyang City, almost all the family members above rank three had Great Qin Dictionaries.

An old master like Kong Jia was even proud to carry a beautifully printed Da Qin dictionary under his arm when traveling!

Now in the market, it seems that whoever owns such a Daqin dictionary can show his identity, which has aroused the curiosity of countless scholars.

Fifteen days later, in Xianyang City, the bookstores under the Prince's Mansion began to appear in the Daqin Dictionary one after another.

Those students who were originally curious about the Great Qin Dictionary have been intrigued by dignitaries, but they have never been able to obtain the Great Qin Dictionary.

Seeing the Daqin Dictionary appearing on the market now, the students didn't need to think about it and started buying it immediately.

The rush of the students to buy quickly led to the rush of ordinary people to buy.

After all, in this day and age, everyone is proud to have a scholar in their family. Therefore, although the common people do not understand the use of the Daqin Dictionary, when they see so many students buying it, they think it is a good thing and they must buy it. .

So in just one day, a hundred thousand copies of the Daqin Dictionary were sold in bookstores across Xianyang City.

You must know that this Great Qin Dictionary is not cheap, it costs [-] yuan, which is considered relatively expensive, but it still cannot resist the enthusiasm of the students and the common people to buy it.

Under the scrambling rush of students and common people, the Daqin Dictionary was quickly sold out, and those who did not buy it all sighed, but knowing that a new Daqin Dictionary will be in place tomorrow, they are gearing up and preparing for it at night. Just go to the bookstore and line up!

The usefulness of the Daqin Dictionary was soon announced by students who knew how to use pinyin and radicals to look up, so in the entire city of Xianyang, people gathered around the houses who bought the dictionary, eager to read the dictionary.

"Hahaha... You have to act fast, or you will really regret it!"

"Such a good thing, why only release so little a day, I was a little late, oops..."

"The Daqin Dictionary is really powerful. With it, you don't have to worry about how to pronounce the words you don't know. It's all in the dictionary!"

"It's more than that, not only the pronunciation, but also the meaning of the words. This dictionary can look up almost everything!"

"It's no wonder why those high-ranking officials and dignitaries carried a dictionary all day long. This thing is really hard to put down! With it, my wife is no longer good!"

The students who bought the Daqin Dictionary talked and laughed happily, attracting envious looks from countless students who did not buy the Daqin Dictionary.

The two elders in civilian clothes passing by on the roadside couldn't help but feel curious after hearing the words of the students discussing with their dictionaries.

These two elders are Da Neng who have just returned from traveling abroad. After returning to Xianyang City, they heard these words by accident, and then saw the changes in Xianyang City. They were extremely curious.

Driven by curiosity, the two elders pooled [-] yuan to buy a Daqin dictionary from a student.

Originally, the student didn't intend to sell it, but he couldn't stand the high bid of the two elders, which was [-] yuan. The student from a poor family didn't hesitate to sell it, anyway, he could still buy it tomorrow.

The two elders bought the Daqin Dictionary and after reading it, they were stunned for a moment.

"The contents of the Daqin Dictionary actually contain so many words, and the explanations are so detailed!"

"Who exactly compiled it? Hey, there is an introduction on the attached page. It is Kong Jia and Shu Suntong. Who is this Zhao Yi?"

"Don't you even know the name of Prince Daqin? You have been repeating this name all day long, why are you so confused at this time?"

"It's really him who compiled the Great Qin Dictionary? This is a bit interesting. Cui Wenzi said before that the prince is nothing more than that. How could he come up with such a shocking work?"

The two elders talked endlessly, and their words were filled with shock at the Great Qin Dictionary and curiosity about the Great Qin Prince Zhao Yi.

If Cui Wenzi, the descendant of the medical family, was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that these two were his close friends, Xu Fu, the descendant of the Taoist school, and Gongsun Zhui, the descendant of the famous family.

At this moment in the Great Qin Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the beautifully bound Great Qin Dictionary in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face.

At this time Zhang Han quickly stepped inside and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the Taoist Xu Fu and the famous Gongsun Zhui have just appeared in Xianyang City!"

Hearing these two familiar names, the smile on Ying Zheng's face suddenly subsided, "Are you sure they are Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui?"

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he followed the example of Jixia Academy and recruited descendants of various schools of thought to become doctors in the court. However, most of the doctors who entered the court later were descendants of Confucianism and Legalism, such as Kong Jia, Shusun Tong and Li Si, etc. people.

Most of the descendants of Taoism and other hundreds of schools of thought did not show up. This was in sharp contrast to the situation in Jixia Academy where Huang Lao was the only one who dominated hundreds of schools.

Therefore, Ying Zheng has been arranging Heibingtai to secretly search for the descendants of hundreds of schools of thought. Among them, Xu Fu, the descendant of Taoism, and Gongsun Zhui, the descendant of famous schools, are the ones that Ying Zheng has never forgotten.

Especially Xu Fu, the closed disciple of Guiguzi, is not only a Taoist heir, but also proficient in learning, astronomy, and navigation, and has a high reputation among the people along the coast.

As for Gongsun Zhui, he is not just a descendant of a famous family, his ancestor Gongsun Long is one of the representatives of the famous family, and the legendary "white horse is not a horse" comes from his writings!

Such two people have always been the dragons, and they have searched all over the world on the Black Ice Terrace, but they can't be found, but they didn't expect that these two people actually returned to Xianyang City at this time.

"Hurry up, quickly summon the two of them into the palace!" Ying Zheng gave orders with a look of excitement, and Zhang Han hurried away immediately.

At this time, in a pharmacy in Xianyang City, Cui Wenzi, the successor of the medical family, was tinkering with his medicinal materials, the most conspicuous of which was the Achnatherum splendens in front of him.

Cui Wenzi at this time was terrible. The smallpox in the Great Qin and Shu was completely conquered by him. He even dared to proudly announce to the world that from now on, smallpox would no longer be an incurable disease!

But just as Cui Wenzi was carefully grinding Achnatherum splendens and preparing to use it as medicine, the door of the pharmacy was pushed open from the outside, and the huge movement attracted Cui Wenzi's attention. When he saw the two people coming in, his pupils dilated for a while.

"Xu Fu, Gongsun Zhui, how dare you show up in Xianyang City?" Cui Wenzi couldn't help teasing the two of them.

"That's why I miss you, Brother Cui, don't come here without any problems!" Xu Fu raised the Daqin Dictionary in his hand, which suddenly attracted Cui Wenzi's attention.

"Oh, I bought the Daqin Dictionary so quickly, do you know who compiled this book?"

Gongsun Zhui laughed and said: "By the way, brother Cui, you are not kind. Didn't you tell me before that the current prince is ignorant, weak and incompetent? Is this what you mean by weak and incompetent?"
