It turned out that the down-and-out scholars, Comrades Yuan Hongye and Yuan Shize, were a few years older than Zhao Li, and were once considered as children of scholarly families and officials. Their father was an official in Qingzhou Prefecture, but last year he was dismissed from office for being implicated in a major case, and even several of his families were even imprisoned.
Originally, Yuan Hongye was not able to do well, but with all his family property, he finally saved his life as the only Yuan family and walked out of prison.
But the Yuan family fell into poverty and became penniless, and their family was destroyed. Yuan Hongye also wandered from Qingzhou Prefecture City to Deyang County to join his classmates and friends. After arriving, he found that his friend had gone out and he didn’t know when he would come back.
Yuan Hongye lived in Deyang County, waiting for his classmates and friends to return, but this was only half a month later. He used up all the money left, and all the things that could be pawned were pawned. Today, he had to use up even the books to pawn, but he was driven out by the pawn shop.
“So that’s it.”
Zhao Li nodded, reached out and took out a small inlay of silver from his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it to the other side.
Yuan Hongye suddenly stood up and waved his hand repeatedly, “I have not received any rewards. I have eaten a meal of my brother’s rice. How can I get money again!”
Zhao Li pondered for a moment and said, “That’s better. If I don’t accept these books from Brother Shi Ze, I am interested. I will let me choose three of them and treat them as books?”
Yuan Hongye looked at the silver ingot on the table, and was afraid that it would weigh at least two or three taels. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “I only want to exchange a few coins of silver in the pawnshop. Brother Zilong took advantage of it, and only three of them were worth three. It really ruined me.”
“There is an old saying that weeds are good, my fairy grass. The pawnshops are all secular people. They only think that these books are worthless, but in my eyes, they are rare treasures. I hope Brother Yuan can accomplish this.” Zhao Li said with a faint smile.
The purchasing power of silver in this world is not as exaggerated as that of the real ancient times on earth, but it is quite valuable. In terms of conversion, one tael of silver is probably equivalent to more than one thousand yuan.
Zhao Li only costs two or three thousand yuan. Buying three books that are neither isolated nor ancient books is indeed a bit unreal.
When Yuan Hongye heard Zhao Li’s words, he couldn’t help but feel moved. He just thought that Zhao Li said this, just to help him.
“Forget it, let Brother Zilong decide. You can choose any number of these books!”
Yuan Hongye no longer insisted, nodded gratefully, and accepted Zhao Li’s money.
Zhao Li was not polite either. He hugged the stack of books placed on the table in front of him, as if he was carefully selected and read them one by one.
《Linshi》, “Southern Classic”, “Biography of the Subject”.
These are the three books that Zhao Li finally held in his hand, that is, three books that have free attribute points to sense desire.
The one that attracted him the most was the book “History of Lin” that he first discovered. As for the other two books, although there are also some, they are not too strong. They are far away from them and cannot even sense them.
“Just these three.”
Zhao Li put the other books aside.
“Everything is the only way.”
Yuan Hongye nodded, and looked in front of Zhao Li to see which three books he had taken.
When Yuan Hongye saw this, he was also stunned.
“Brother Shize, but I have chosen these three books
