Chapter 174 A Library That Rose from the Ground Overnight
Soon, Liu De sent people to these 100 locations to mark out the areas.

The people were very curious and gathered around to watch.

"What are they trying to do?"

"Who's grabbing land? Is it one of the local landlords? What are they going to do with it?"

"No, it's Your Majesty! Your Majesty plans to build a library in this designated area! In the future, all people, regardless of age or gender, will be able to read books at the library for free."

"The library, to read books?! Really?!"

The people were very surprised, after all, there is a saying: "Of all professions, only studying is noble."

In the hearts of ordinary people, reading is sacred and difficult. Books are very precious, and even if you buy them, it costs a lot of money.

That's why there were so few peasant sons among the common people who could enter the imperial court through the imperial examinations.

Previously, when the policy allowing even women to participate in the imperial examinations was introduced, people felt that the chances were not very high.

After all, given their family's financial situation, how could they possibly afford to send so many people to school?

They can't even read books.

Now, His Majesty wants to build 100 libraries in Daqing. These libraries will be open to everyone, regardless of status, age, or gender, and will be free to read books. How could this not excite the people? It also gives them hope that their children can study and take the imperial examinations.

So, even before the library was built, everyone applauded and cheered.

The land acquisition took more than half a month because it involved the Daqing area, and transportation was inconvenient at that time.

The snowfall was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker.

Local governments organized their officials and the people to clear snow and repair roofs, among other things.

“Your Highness, His Majesty has sent word that the land acquisition for the library has been completed,” Furong said to Suisui.

"Okay."

"System, the third reward can begin now," Sui Sui said to Tong Tong in her mind.

[System has received your request, please wait...]

Since everyone said they had received them, Sui Sui didn't say anything more.

Soon, it was night.

Just as everyone was drifting off to sleep, the area where the 100-yuan fenced-off space was used as a library suddenly came to life.

If someone were to pass by at that moment, they would see what appears to be something falling from the sky.

It landed right in the circled area.

Then, that thing kept expanding and getting bigger.

Get bigger, get bigger, and get even bigger!
Soon, it became the same size as the houses nearby.

But that's not enough; it continues to grow bigger and taller!

It climbed all the way up to 20 meters before stopping!

The fenced-off land was a full 5 mu in size, and now it has occupied all 5 mu.

Almost simultaneously, these 100 circled areas underwent such changes.

And this change happened in just a few breaths.

Because it was late at night and everyone was asleep, no one noticed.

As dawn broke, some early risers who planned to sell breakfast noticed something different about their houses as soon as they stepped outside.

Looking up, I saw this tall building.

It really is a tall building, it looks like it has 5 floors.

The building is dark brown with upturned eaves everywhere, and at the top of the first floor, three words are written: Library.

"Is this a library? It wasn't there yesterday, and it's already built? Was it built last night? How come there's not a sound at all?"

"Holy crap, I was just wondering yesterday when the library would be built, and now it's already finished. Amazing, truly amazing."

"Everyone come out and see! The library is finished!"

Amid the gasps of the first few who saw it, more and more people ran out to see.
Then, more and more people saw the library that had suddenly appeared overnight. And let me tell you, it was quite magnificent.

Upon seeing the library, the people couldn't help but feel awe and dared not look down on it in the slightest.

"Now that the library is finished, does that mean we can go in and read books?" someone suddenly asked.

"It should be possible, right?"

"How about we give it a try?"

There was no one guarding the entrance to the library, and the main gate was closed.

However, some daring people still stepped forward, wanting to give it a try.

People around were watching.

The one who stepped forward to try it was a young man.

He walked to the ancient gate and reached out to push it open.

But then, the door suddenly creaked open, and then everyone saw...

The door opened by itself!
Yes, it just opened up on its own, and it happened without any prompting or promotion from anyone.

This action startled the man who was about to push the door open.

When the door opened automatically, the man's hand, which was about to push the door open, was still in mid-air.

"It opened by itself? Did it know someone was going in, so it opened itself?" Is it that amazing?
The man guessed, then waved to the people behind him and said, "The gate is open, do you want to come in and take a look?"

"Okay, let's go in and take a look together."

Now that the gate is open, let's go in and find out what's going on.

So the group of people went inside the gate with the man.

When I first went in, it was dark inside and I couldn't see anything.

But as they approached, seemingly in a single instant, a loud "bang" rang out.

Everyone felt that the place, which was originally pitch black, suddenly became brightly lit.

That's right, the inside of the library is lit up.

Even if they couldn't see where the light was coming from.

However, at this moment, they had no time to search for the source of the light.

They were amazed by the sheer volume of books.

The walls were covered with shelves, and those shelves were filled with books.

If you look closely, you'll see that these shelves are even categorized.

Inside the hall, there were many tables and chairs, all arranged very neatly.

The man's hand touched the table and chairs. "These are for people who read books to sit on, aren't they?"

In the very center of the hall is a staircase that extends to the second floor.

So everyone went up the stairs to the second floor.

Then we went up to the third, fourth, and fifth floors...

Then everyone discovered that the layout of these floors was actually quite similar.

The only difference is that the books on each floor are different.

The first floor is relatively basic; the higher you go, the more difficult the knowledge in the books becomes, and the more precious the books are.

Looking at the vast collection of books in this library, the most excited people are naturally the readers.

"Oh my god, this book is actually available in this library, and it's free to read."

"I've never heard of this book before."

"These are books by a great Confucian scholar from the previous dynasty, a complete set! You actually have them? My God, this is unbelievable."
