That is, even if two buildings with the same function, when they appear in completely different countries, they will give people different feelings.
From the point of view of the overall architectural style, the large library built in Lujiang this time follows the design of the "National Library of Alexandria" built by Ptolemy, so white or light yellow is used for the whole exterior building. Stone, as the main building material, is square and square above the design. It does not look like a holy place for "keeping knowledge", but it looks like a temple building full of Greek-Mediterranean style.
The characteristic golden section aspect ratio and the eight huge stone pillars several meters high made Zhang Yan think that he had taken the wrong blueprint when he saw this kind of building for the first time, and what he handed over to Wei Xian was not a big book Pavilion, but a metaphysical building like the Parthenon.
Fortunately, after he entered the interior of the construction site, came near the large library, and even entered its interior, Zhang Yan still found many features related to book storage in this building.
The first is height.
Different from the original buildings built directly on the ground, Wei Xian raised the library by several meters in order to make the library more adaptable to the humid climate in China.
Ordinary people who want to enter the library for viewing and borrowing must first pass a long stone-step avenue before they can enter the interior of the library.
On this point, Wei Xian can be said to be practice makes perfect.
In addition to the height, Zhang Yan was able to confirm that this building was a library rather than a temple because of the relatively complicated room design inside the large library.
Although it looks square on the outside, the large library designed by Wei Xian is not so much a building or a building as a building composed of various houses. group.
Just like the Forbidden City in the imperial capital, what most people see at a glance from the outside is only the Chengtian Gate as the main entrance, but behind the Chengtian Gate, within the vast palace wall, there are all kinds of things. architecture.
In addition to the hall at the main entrance that is indistinguishable from the original version, the large library built according to the method of the building complex also has five large reading rooms, two lounges, a rare book collection room and Several special book exhibition areas are located behind the Greek-style hall.
The entire building complex has a total of more than ten rooms including the lounge, plus a huge hall with a diameter of more than 60 meters and nearly [-] bookshelves inside, slowly using up the [-]-acre building plot. Said that it also extended a small part towards the residential area behind.
Zhang Yan still remembered that after he was invited to go to the construction site that day, he entered the rather shocking library hall.
Although the hall has not been cleaned up at this time, and it has not been filled with a large number of books and wooden shelves, but just the huge void with a great sense of space makes people feel respectful, even heartbroken. fear.
It was also after that day that Zhang Yan finally realized that the wonder of the library, which he had delayed for more than half a year, was finally going to be completed recently.
……
As I said before, since the library is a functional building, in addition to the building itself, it must have a large number of library collections, then the library is meaningful and can be called a library.
Now that the architectural structure of the large library has been completed, Zhang Yan naturally began to organize the books in the internal collection.
For example, right now, he was scratching his head while flipping through the list of books submitted to him by his subordinates, feeling a little worried.
……
"The Qiao family, the Zhou family, the Zhao family..."
While flipping through the directory, Zhang Yan muttered softly, reading out the names of those families who volunteered to donate books one by one.
"Ah, this group of people is very active, and the amount of donated books is not small, but the repetition of these books is too high, right?"
After a while, Zhang Yan finally closed the list, and closed his eyes helplessly.
In order to be able to collect a large number of books needed by the large library, Zhang Yan, on the one hand, under the reminder of the system, started preparations for the establishment of the printing factory as early as half a year ago.
Therefore, under the full effort, the simple number of books is not too restrictive for Zhang Yan.
But in terms of the types of books, Zhang Yan's progress was extremely slow.
In order to be able to collect a large number of book samples, Zhang Yan began to "borrow books" intentionally or unintentionally from the aristocratic families under his command in Lujiang, or even the entire Jiangdong area, or through various methods, let those aristocratic families The duplicate books at home were donated to him.
After all, books are no better than anything else. In this era where one word is worth one dollar and ten thousand words are worth ten thousand dollars, even though Zhang Yan's family property has started very high like a wind, spirit and moon shadow, he would not be foolish enough to "purchase" books from merchants. practice.
But now, more than a month has passed, but Zhang Yan has had little effect on this point.
It's not that the families under his rule don't cooperate, or don't want to donate to him or something.
It's just that the results of donations from a large number of aristocratic families seem overwhelming at first glance, but when he actually counted them, he found that the duplication rate of the books donated by these aristocratic families has almost reached [-]%.
In other words, although almost every one of the hundreds of aristocratic families in Lujiang donated more than a hundred books to him under coercion and lure, but these hundreds of aristocratic families add up, and the books that can allow him to transfer a large number of books are still There are only a few hundred copies.
This is far from the requirements set by the system at 01:30.
Chapter 33 The Cleverness of the Family
"Hey, there is no way, it seems that we can only do this first."
"Come on, pass my order down—"
Sitting in the official office, he scratched his hair with some displeasure. After Zhang Yan confirmed that most of the books donated by these aristocratic families were repetitive, he no longer placed his hopes on this group of people.
It is the nature of aristocratic families to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if a large library is built, it may be a good thing for those small and medium-sized aristocratic families or top-level aristocratic families, but for those aristocratic families who are neither high nor low It ruined their chance to get one step closer, so it is only natural that the main force of these medium-to-large aristocratic families in Lujiang use common books to deal with him.
For small and medium-sized families, there are not many books in their homes, so Zhang Yan's behavior of asking them to donate books can be said to have suffered the lowest loss.
On the contrary, if according to Zhang Yan's promise to them, after the opening of the big library, they will be able to obtain the right to freely enter and leave the library for borrowing by virtue of their previous book donations.
To round it up, for those small aristocratic families, they took advantage of this kind of thing in the end.
As for those top families like Jiangdongqiao's and Zhou's that have a certain reputation throughout Yangzhou, and can even be named in China, although they need to donate more books, they are relatively , they also have the most members of this family...
……
Copy five pages today, ten pages tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight.
Starting tomorrow, I will look at the bookcase at home and decide to continue copying.
……
It can be said that for those large families, this is the idea that most of them have.
Anyway, after these books are donated, it's not that I don't have a copy. After I have the right to enter the big library, why don't I just copy the classics and classics in it?
To say that large aristocratic families are the most lacking in manpower, such as Zhang Yan's in-laws Qiao family in Lujiang, although they can't have tens of thousands of people like the Chen family and Mi family in Xuzhou, but for them, it is almost impossible. There is still a family size of a thousand people.
As long as those family members who can read and write can copy a little at home every day, then no matter what this matter is, they will actually make a lot of money.
It is precisely because of this that even if these people have no relationship with Zhang Yan, they will actually donate books vigorously to gain a good impression of the prefect and the right to freely enter and exit the large library for a long time.
From this point of view, in the whole process of establishing a large library and donating books, the only ones who are really hurt are those aristocratic families who talk about whether they are big or small.
For these aristocratic families, their size cannot be said to be very large. Perhaps counting some core members of the family, the number of literate individuals that can be found is at most 30 people.
And these [-] to [-] core members have to maintain the normal operation of the family's various industries on weekdays, so naturally they don't have the time to go to the big library to write down the classics they need and copy them back.
It's not like the situation where the family tree is intertwined and a large number of family members have nothing to do all day long. The time of the members of their family is very precious.
It is precisely because of this reason that the middle and large aristocratic families with a long enough family history, a large collection of books, and a large number of books that need to be "donated" according to Zhang Yan's standards began their journey of passive resistance.
Donate books?
Donating books is not possible.
It is impossible to donate all the books in the family in this life. I can only donate some common books, just like this.
Don't donate books?
It is also impossible not to donate books.
If everyone in Lujiang donated, but I didn't donate alone, would my reputation of a century-old family still be lost?Should I continue to play in the circle of the family?Wouldn't my reputation be that of a very bad cheapskate?
After thinking twice, donating books, but not all of them, but only selecting some low-value and very common books from home to donate, has become a common choice for these medium and large mainstream families.
Books and books are also different. If I don't donate, you Zhang Taishou may naturally have a grudge against me, and even make things difficult for me in the future government affairs, making me a chicken among others.
But if I donate some common books and at the same time guarantee a certain amount, then you Zhang Taishou still have the nerve to continue to make things difficult for me?
Hehe, you know, I donated hundreds of books just like those "Jiangdong head families" like the Qiao family.At this point, no matter how shameless you are, it is impossible to say that I did not do well.
As for these books are commonly used, or books of little value...
Is that all I have?
You don't know that I have those books, and you haven't entered my library, how do you know that I have other better books, and the rarer books have not been taken out?
I have given you everything I have, and if you still babble and insult people's innocence out of thin air, I will vigorously discredit you in the circle of the aristocratic family!
After such an operation, even with 1 reluctances in Zhang Yan's heart, he could only temporarily accept this result, and secretly wrote down in his heart who did not grow up in the interaction between the government and the people. Eye, use this method to add to yourself.
As for what you call common and what is rare...
To put it simply, the Four Books and Five Classics, Poetry Books, Li Yi Chunqiu, etc. are very common books in this era, and most aristocratic families will have a set. If you, as a member of an aristocratic family, have not read these books, you will be looked down upon.
As for rarity, it's even simpler.
Compared with those books on spiritual concepts, they focus more on productivity and humanities, and books that can actually have an impact on people's lives are purely rare.
For example, the "Book of Fansheng", which is not well-known in history, is an excellent agricultural masterpiece written during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty.
On the basis of summarizing the farming experience of the predecessors, this book also added my own insights from actual farming. It can be said that it can greatly develop the grain production level of the ancients.
However, Zhang Yan only saw such an important agronomy classic that was written not too far away in the book donation list submitted by the two aristocratic families.
One of these two aristocratic families is called the Wancheng Qiao family, and the other is called the Shu County Zhou family.
Are there any other aristocratic families?
In a way yes.
For those families that are small, have passed on for a short time, or are about to become poor, this book may not be available in their families.
But looking at it from another perspective, besides these tiny aristocratic families, are there no other aristocratic families?
Of course not.
They just want to monopolize the means of agricultural production, and then continue to rely on such information gaps to exploit the people at the bottom.
In other words, it's not that they don't have it, it's just that they don't want to give it.
"That's all, pass my order down—"
"From now on, we will spread the news about the role of the Lujiang Library and the upcoming establishment through various channels, so that Chinese scholars, especially those from poor families, will know that there is still such a sacred place of knowledge in China."
"Tell them for me, just say that as long as you lend us the classics at home for transcription, then you can get the household registration of Lujiang, and at the same time have the right to freely enter and leave the library to read books!"
"His grandma, Guan Erye and his family are in such a state of desperation that there is still a volume of spring and autumn for him to study again and again. I don't believe that China is so big, and all the poor families are added together, and there are not a few useful books. coming!"
While speaking loudly to the visitor, Zhang Yan thought about it, planning to increase the number of samples in this way to meet the requirement of [-] given by the system.
Lujiang has developed for a long time since he arrived. Not only does it have food, but it also took advantage of a wave of unpredictable prophets this autumn and winter, attracting a large number of migrants with its stable life and food prices.
To this day, the total population of Lujiang has already approached the million mark. Correspondingly, how to timely announce the appropriate talent introduction strategy and attract more scholars for the development of Lujiang has always been his heart trouble.
Through the establishment of the large library, the reputation of Lujiang spread throughout China in one fell swoop, and it seemed to him that it was the best of both worlds.
