Soon, Emperor Xizong had the idea to go to the Royal Library and continue to carry forward his ancestor's skill in playing with words.

Not only did the price of one thousand words per gold in the Royal Library rise to the astronomical price of one gold per word, but also the library cards were given to relatives and relatives, claiming to the outside world that the card was recognized but not the person.

It is clear that outsiders are encouraged to borrow cards and read books from relatives and relatives to open up financial resources.

Relatives and relatives can also make money by renting book cards, which can be said to be profitable in many ways.

Xizong's order was executed perfectly.

Passed down for hundreds of years, the book cards in the Royal Library are almost clearly priced. The rental price is one hundred gold per day, which has supported many down-and-out relatives and relatives.

However, Xu Yi paused outside the door for a moment, read the words on the jade, and then walked towards the foyer.

In the middle of the foyer is a row of windows, which are the same as those used to buy food at the Lianwu Hall. A notice board on one side clearly states the entry guide for newbies: Enter with a card, top up money and deposit, and it will not be refunded.

Xu Yi shook his head at the sight. This was almost the same as the traffic package launched by a certain company in later generations. This shows that wisdom can be copied across time and space.

The business of the Royal Library is not very good. There are only three windows and hundreds of people queue up.

This amount is not bad for a small restaurant, but for the Royal Library, which covers an area of ​​dozens of hectares and holds nearly 100 million books, it is undoubtedly a stream flowing into the sea.

"How much to charge!"

The old man in green clothes inside the door asked feebly.

"A thousand gold coins!"

Xu Yi put the card and money into the window.

"Looking at old books?"

The old man in blue said something strange.

“First time here.”

Xu Yi told the truth, feeling a little curious.

"No wonder!"

The old man in Tsing Yi poked at the brand number on the left side of the transparent window. There was a row of small words written on it: Instructions for newcomers, the more, the merrier.

"Is it still a thousand gold coins?"

The old man in green asked questions and stretched out his hand to grab the money.

"I changed my mind, ten thousand gold!"

Xu Yi handed over the diastolic golden ticket again.

The old man in green frowned slightly and looked at Xu Yi for the first time, "Why are you willing to pay more?" There was both surprise and disappointment in his tone.

"Newcomers should abide by the rules!"

Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Your boy is a character."

As he spoke, the old man in green took the gold ticket. His hand slowed down, and he said through the voice, "One thousand gold, I'll give you a piece of news."

"Thank you!"

Xu Yi Chuanxin quickly handed over the gold ticket and said loudly, "Add another two thousand gold!"

When he was in Guang'an, Xu Yi had frequent interactions with Manager Xie of the Alchemy Hall, and he was very aware of the power of the carriage shop's office. This person may not be successful enough, but he is more than capable of ruining things.

The old man in front of him made it clear that he wanted to eat from An Rule's side. Xu Yi knew the ropes very well. Since he wanted to give a favor, he might as well give it as much as he could.

Sure enough, the old man in green was startled for a moment, then smiled, and continued to go through the procedures unhurriedly, "It's unreasonable for people like you not to succeed. That's all, good people will do their best. Room Jiachen on the north side,

There is Huadiao wine. Prepare it and send it to the clean room for the old man with the broken eyebrow."

After transmitting the message, Yujue handed it over and still shouted feebly, "Next one."

Coming out of the foyer, Xu Yi walked forward and found a wide courtyard, paved with bluestones and shaded by huge trees on both sides. Looking north, he soon saw the signboard of the military building. He walked quickly and found Jiachen.

In room No. 1, with a slight push, the thick old yellow pear wood door creaked and slowly opened a gap.

Xu Yi quickly found two jars of unopened Huadiao wine, put them into the Xumihuan, stepped out, carefully closed the door, and continued on.

After walking another hundred meters, we finally entered a huge, extremely monotonous space. Looking around, we could see no end to the east and west, no end to the north and south, and rows of bookshelves standing neatly, like a sea of ​​pines and trees.

Another announcement was recorded on the wall at the entrance. After scanning it at a glance, Xu Yicai secretly marveled at the royal family's ability to amass wealth.

It turns out that the bookshelves here are all sealed, and the only way to open them is with book cards.

If you want to read any kind of book, you must first pay with your card.

For example, he promised that if someone wanted to know the origin of a certain monster, they would find the monster books section and choose from books such as "Ten Thousand Monsters", "Standards of Strange Monsters", "Origins of Monsters", etc.

.

If you are not sure in your mind, then you have to try out one book after another. If you don’t take out a book, you have to consume it first, even if not a word of the book is suitable for your own use.

In other words, this is a gamble, betting on your own luck.

If your luck is good, you will be done with one or two books; if your luck is not good, you will have to check the designated books one by one, and your consumption will be lost.

What's even more amazing is that if you want to recharge the money a second time, you can only do it in the hall. The recharge fee here is a full 50% more expensive than outside.

When Xu Yi saw this regulation, he still didn't understand why there was a small sign saying "Instructions for Newcomers, the More, the Better" in front of the previous recharge window.

This is obviously done deliberately for the convenience of the library. The person who did it is definitely not to remind new book readers, but to attract people in this vague way.

If he allowed someone to not pay attention to this point before, and be wary of everything like a new book reader, and deliberately go against the warning of the old man in green, he would probably spend all his money in vain this time.

After scanning the notice carefully, Xu Yi did not act rashly. He carefully checked the route map next to the notice and searched according to the map. After searching for nearly half an hour, he finally found the clean room.

A withered and yellow wing room stood in the southeast corner. There was a straw mat in the corner and an old man in linen clothes was curled up in a ball, sleeping.

Xu Yi walked around to the side and took a clear look at the old man's face. He had a gray head and white beard and hair. The ravines on his face were like the dry land plowed by the years. His long, snow-white eyebrows were particularly eye-catching. The eyebrow on the left was particularly eye-catching.

A piece of hair was bald about two-thirds of the way.

His cheeks were red, his eyes were swollen, and when he sniffed his nose, a faint smell of alcohol came over him, which was clearly a sign of being an alcoholic for many years.

At that moment, Xu Yi called out two altars of flower carvings, pulled open the covers, and gently stirred them up.

After a while, the old man sat up. Before opening his hazy eyes, he stretched out his hand to pick up the wine jar with unusual precision.

Xu Yi did not dodge and let him take hold of him. The old man hugged the wine jar and drank freely. The amount of wine was amazing. In an instant, not a drop of wine was left in the jar, and not a drop was spilled.

"Tsk tsk, my thirst is finally quenched, my dear, it's been three days, no smart people have come for three days, but I'm going to die of thirst..."

The old man looked as if he had been thirsty for a long time and was satisfied with his drink. Without saying a word, he took another wine vat and began to drink heavily.

After more than ten breaths, the old man finally put down the wine jar. With a face full of intoxication, he carefully sealed the wine skin and sighed, "You damn old Xie, you use the old man to make money, and you still get stuck in the old man's neck. Every time, it's two
