Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 170 We have to give an apology to the emperor

Inside the library.

This meeting is already crowded with people.

From the first floor to the sixth floor, they are divided into small compartments.
At the door of the small cubicle, there are signs hanging one by one, which read "Book of Qin", "Book of Han", "Book of Tang", "Book of Song", "Collection of Unofficial History", "Working Science", "Collection of Agricultural Books" ...

These compartments clearly divided the tens of thousands of books in the entire building, but they also made everyone read them in a dazzling array.

Outside the small cubicle, there were rows of tables and chairs, and soon, someone was already sitting on it, holding a book and starting to read.

Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan, who came in among the crowd, were also shocked by such a grand scene, and couldn't help but looked at Guo An aside in surprise, "There are so many books?"

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, I am worried that this book is not enough!"

Zhu Di stared around, looked around with joy on his face, and muttered to himself: "Enough, enough, we have never seen so many books in the library in Yingtian City Imperial Palace..."

At the same time, a large stone tablet was erected in the middle of the first floor.

A group of gentry and merchants, with their heirs, were looking on excitedly.

"Look quickly, the fourth column and the sixth row are engraved, our Zhang family donated 460 books."

"Look, the sixth column and the eighth line are engraved, our Li family donated 310 books..."

"Hurry up, Brother Zeng, there is actually Mr. Hui'an's "Commentary to the General Book" here?"

"There are Liu Zhuo's "Ji Ji" and "Zhou Bi" here!"

"My God, this is Zhang Cang's "Xunzi"..."

"Quick, there's still...on the second floor...on the third floor...on the fourth floor...

With the sound of exclamation, the Confucian scholars in the entire library seemed to be awakened from their sleep, and all the Confucian scholars ran towards the small cubicles with ecstasy on their faces.

"Woooo..."

A Confucian scholar cried while holding a book, "I still remember that when I was a child, in order to borrow this book, I braved the snow and walked for more than 20 miles to borrow it from my master's house. I was frozen stiff, and then I finished copying it overnight... I didn't have time to eat, and I sent it back to my master overnight..."

"Hey, so is my younger brother. In order to borrow Mr. Hengqu's "Confucianism and Liku", my younger brother took the only old hen left at home and gave it to Mr. Zhang in the village, so that I can borrow it for two days...

My heart aches... woo woo...

Who would have thought that we can borrow so many books at will without spending any money..."

"His Royal Highness King Yan is wise!"

"I am blessed to wait for the northern scholars..."

"Hey, thank you His Highness King Yan for your kindness..."

"Thank you Guo Changshi for your great kindness..."

Although more than half of the scholars did not know Zhu Di, Guo An and others in the crowd, it did not prevent them from crying excitedly and thanking them at the same time.

Seeing this, Zhu Di and Guo An in the crowd couldn't help but look at each other.

Immediately, Zhu Di's face was full of joy.

However, Guo An noticed that some gentry had already subconsciously looked at him and Zhu Di, and quickly whispered to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, the scholars here are already superior, it's better for us to avoid it? "

"What do you mean above?"

Zhu Di asked with some doubts.

Guo An hurriedly said: "Oh, Your Highness, don't worry about what the above means. These scholars are almost going to be overwhelmed by so many books. If they know that His Highness is here and swarm towards His Highness, I will Waiting can't protect His Highness, Your Highness..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo An was keenly aware that more and more gentry and scholars were looking at them.

Especially a few, or a few idiots in Wanping County!
"Student Yu Hong is grateful to His Highness for the grace of rebuilding! Thanks to Guo Changshi for the achievements I have made for the scholars in Beiping Prefecture!"

"Student Yu Qiaosheng thanks His Highness for the kindness of rebuilding..."

"His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi are here too?"

A scholar asked earnestly, "Which one is His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi?"

On the side, a gentry said: "The two next to the monk in the southeast corner are His Royal Highness Yan Wang and Guo Changshi."

"The Great Monk?"

One sentence from the Great Monk directly made everyone look at Zhu Di and Guo An.

Monk Daoyan's face darkened, and he stepped back silently.

The scholars and gentry on the side all retreated in unison, and Zhu Di and Guo An were isolated.

As for Ma He, Jin Zhong and the others, their complexions changed, and they quickly stood in front of Zhu Di and Guo An.

Well, now Zhu Di and Guo An are completely exposed to everyone.

A group of scholars suddenly filled with excitement and swarmed towards Zhu Di and Guo An. Guo An subconsciously thought of those fans of later generations.

"Everyone stop!"

Jin Zhong shouted directly.

Only then did the group of scholars stop, but they still looked at Zhu Di and Guo An enthusiastically.

"The students don't have any malicious intentions, but just want to thank His Highness and Guo Changshi for their kindness in rebuilding."

"Extremely, extremely, Your Highness has collected so many classics, let me and other scholars look at them without charging any money, it is simply an ideal place for all scholars in the world, students and others dare not dream that one day they will be here Reading books in the library..."

"Students and others thank His Highness and Guo Changshi..."

"We are Yan Wang Zhu Di!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di directly pulled away Ma He and Jin Zhong in front of him, pointed to Guo An and said, "He is Guo An. This library, and even the entire academy, were all built by Guo Qing. made.

We did not expect such a huge library.

I hope that you can study hard in the future, either to become a great talent like Guo Qing, or to get a few more Juren or Jinshi..."

"Students respect His Highness's orders."

A group of scholars quickly responded with excitement on their faces, and then looked at Guo An who was on the side eagerly.

Guo An smiled gently, and said loudly: "Everyone, we spent a lot of effort and painstaking efforts in building this academy, and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to build this library building, so I hope that there will be more talented people in my Beiping Mansion.

In the future, we will meet more times, everyone should read books in this library.

With His Royal Highness King Yan guarding Beiping Mansion, even if you don't get much fame in the imperial examination, as long as you have talents, you will not be buried.

Scholars of my generation should establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!

I hope you all will remember Mr. Hengqu's most reasonable words..."

"Follow Guo Changshi's order!"

A group of scholars couldn't help but be moved.

Young scholars, except for a few, are still full of passion and passion.

Zhu Di smiled again and said: "Okay, everyone, go to the books, it is also the first time for us to visit the academy and the library, so we have to take a good look at it."

"His Royal Highness, please!"

"Students and others will not disturb His Highness..."

A group of scholars said again and again.

Seeing this, Zhu Di nodded slightly, and led Guo An upstairs.

When Zhu Di and others went upstairs, a group of scholars quickly dispersed and hurriedly flipped through the books they had just flipped through.

Soon, inside the library, everything fell silent, except for a group of scholars who stared excitedly, held their breath, and flipped through the books in fascination.

For a scholar, if he can read a book that he has admired for a long time, he will be ecstatic.

And now, in the entire library, there are at least thousands of books and classics that they have admired for a long time.

They were already going crazy with joy.

In this era, although paper and printing technologies have matured, it is still difficult for ordinary people, even some wealthy households, to support them.

Therefore, many people want to study and study, most of them rely on the knowledge learned in the school, and the second is the knowledge learned at home.

Naturally, people like to collect books, and many families like to collect books. The larger the family, the longer the family's inheritance, the more books in the family.

As long as you are a scholar, you will subconsciously collect all kinds of books, hide them at home, and keep them secret, only for future generations to read.

As a result, no matter how prominent the family is, there will not be many books in the family. After all, with the energy of a family alone, it is impossible to search for many books.

Just for these books in Zangshu Pavilion, Guo An has borrowed from Yanwang Mansion, Liu Family, Guo Family, as well as the gentry, officials, merchants in the entire Beiping Mansion, and so many ministers in the capital...

Therefore, even Liu Weiyuan, Nie Zishi and others were stunned when they saw the vast sea of ​​books in front of them.

The books they have read in their life are not as good as the one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth.

"This academy, Ning Yi built it well!"

Standing in a corner of the library pavilion, watching the grand occasion in the library building, Liu Huiyuan couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

"It's natural."

On the side, Father Guo nodded proudly.

"Please don't make any noise."

On the side, someone frowned and reminded.

Liu Weiyuan and Father Guo were not annoyed, but smiled apologetically and walked upstairs.

When they were young, if someone dared to interrupt their reading, they might be more angry than that young man.

Upstairs, Zhu Di doesn't like to read books, but he likes to look at the Zangshu Pavilion full of books, and those scholars who are eagerly reading books.

Therefore, he was basically like watching flowers on horseback, leading Guo An and Monk Daoyan to climb all the way to the top floor before stopping.

"The academy is so grand, it's worth the money we spent."

Standing in the corridor, overlooking the entire academy, Zhu Di was full of satisfaction.

Guo An replied: "As long as His Highness is satisfied."

"It's just that with such a big academy, there will definitely be more scholars, even young children, coming here to study in the future.

So, in order to maintain the academy, how much money do we have to spend every year! "

As he said that, a trace of distress flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

Guo An smiled slightly, "However, in such an academy, how many children will complete their enlightenment every year, and how many scholars will succeed in their studies?

His Highness is the dean of the academy, and they are all students of His Highness in name no matter what.

In this way, in the future, if any scholars dare to accuse His Highness without any grounds, thousands, even tens of thousands of His Highness's students will stand up and rectify His Highness's name. "

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "So, we are in Daming..."

As he said that, Zhu Di also realized something, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Guo Qing, we shouldn't be the dean of the academy!"

Guo An said: "But His Highness has become the dean!"

"Ugh……"

Zhu Di sighed heavily, "We have to give an apology to the emperor!"
