After nearly two months, the library of Liangxiang was completed, with five floors high, towering and majestic, and became the tallest building in Liangxiang.

The four corners of the library, southeast, northwest, and northwest.

There are four huge houses with hundreds of benches that can be read here.

It is from the hand of Yan Chengjin, so under the corner of the library building, there is a tablet embedded in it: It was built on November 20 in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, and the architect: The old man walked over the wall, and the height was unbearable, and he typed two words?

When the building was built, the factory of the master of ceremonies was printing at the same time, and most of the various classics were printed, and the fifth floor was still empty, and the follow-up collection of books would be moved in, but the library had been opened to the world.

"If the two capitals and thirteen roads are all built according to this scale, I don't know how much it will cost." Zhang Xian was distressed: "A rare generosity in the world! ”

It cost 80,000 taels of silver to build this library, hollowed out the treasury of Liangxiang, and owed more than 20,000 taels of silver to Lord Yan.

Yan Chengjin feels that it is worthwhile, it will be passed down for centuries, and it is worth using the best materials to recite the ancient and modern.

Di newspaper came out, I heard that the collection of books in the library is not much different from that in the palace, and people from all over the world have rushed to the capital, more precisely, to come to Liangxiang.

"How much silver is left in the treasury?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Zhang Xian made a bitter face: "It's gone, and a copper plate is gone." ”

Yan Chengjin thought to himself: "Then I can only rent the land." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"In a short time, scholars from all over the world will come to the capital, where do they live?"

Zhang Xian's eyes lit up, the inn in Liangxiang was not enough for even businessmen, many guys slept on the street, and there were many scholars in the future......

Although it could be seen from the time it was built, Xie Yu was really standing in front of the library and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"In the future, there will be many scholars who will come to Liangxiang, and dozens of new wings can be built in the backyard of Yaxing."

"Big business!"

The Xiucai of Liangxiang stood in front of the building, tears of excitement, and the Liangxiang that was as poor as water appeared in a rare library in the world.

"I heard that this building was built by Cheng Minzheng, which is Cheng Minzheng of the 12th year of Hongzhi, and I heard that it was a question of Ding Ding, which caused more than 100 candidates to fall off the list."

"Alas, the post of squire was dismissed, and I think Mr. Cheng was also implicated."

"Whatever happened in the past, today is a great good!"

Several showmen scrambled to enter the library, but were stopped by the door soap.

"Anyone who enters the library must first go to the hand pool to clean his hands before entering the building."

Sure enough, there was a churning pool of clear water on the side.

The library is under the jurisdiction of the ceremonial room of the three classes and six rooms of the yamen, and there are officials on each floor, for fear that the scholars will secretly tear off the books and papers and take them away.

straw shed area,

Cheng Minzheng took a basin of water, washed his face, and gave students a holiday today.

"Today I will take you to a good place for the teacher."

Carrying five copper plates, Cheng Minzheng took the two grandsons of the Liang family to the library.

There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.

The people who entered and exited the library were all Confucian and scarf-like talents, and they were standing here with one large, two small and three homeless people, which seemed very abrupt.

Cheng Minzheng is full of tears, this is built by the old man?

The majestic buildings make people's hearts surge.

"The old man wants to go into the library to borrow books?" A Xiucai stood next to Cheng Minzheng and said with concern: "I don't know if the library will let the homeless people set foot, I might as well help you ask first, so as not to be abrupt." ”

Wang Yuedong looked at the west, this library building is better than the library next to the Wenhua Palace, and the virtuous nephew is not kind!

Suddenly, I saw a big homeless and two small homeless people standing outside the library building.

How does it look a little like ......

"Cheng Minzheng?!"

Cheng Minzheng looked up in astonishment, saw Wang Yue striding out of the library, and hurriedly turned his head: "It's not Cheng Minzheng down there." ”

Wang Yue smiled ill-willedly: "Don't pretend, how did you become like this?" ”

"I'm a homeless person in the next place."

As soon as Wang Yue heard it, he knew that he couldn't be wrong: "Then what is your name?" ”

"My master is really not Cheng Minzheng, his name is Cheng Qingshan." Liang Xiaoer said seriously.

Cheng Minzheng raised his hand, and with a violent shudder, Liang Xiaoer cried out.

Wang Yue laughed.

The library was open for an hour, and there were hundreds of scholars in the four reading houses, who worked hard to write books, and although the collection could not be taken away, they could transcribe a copy.

Cheng Minzheng climbed to the second floor and saw this familiar bibliography, and his heart was excited.

"Even the collection of books in Zhan Shifu is also included, which is more complete than the Wanjuan Building in Jiangnan."

Scholars from the capital came one after another, planning to stay in Liangxiang for a long time.

Liang Zhong's baked cake business turned out to be good, and there was not enough baked cake to sell in one day.

Forbidden city

The tiles were covered with a layer of snow, and it was freezing cold.

The place where Emperor Hongzhi summoned the ministers was moved from the Fengtian Hall to the Warm Pavilion, and the hall was very warm, and the ministers stood drowsy.

Zhou Yu said honestly: "Your Majesty, the ploughing cattle in Shijingshan have been born, and the ministers have spent a lot of silver to buy forage and hire workers to take care of the cattle house, which is ......."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up and he said, "These calves should be taken care of." ”

Don't give a fee?

Zhou Yu said angrily: "I can't take care of it, and the minister has no money." ”

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Hongzhi snorted.

Zhou Yu knelt down in fright and muttered: "The minister has no money, and he takes care of the cattle for a year, and the minister's income is less than half of the cattle..."

Hubu Shangshu Han Wen said: "Your Majesty, the cowhouse in Shijingshan cannot be removed, it is better to deliver the cowhouse in Shijingshan to the imperial court." ”

Yan Chengjin knew as soon as he heard that Han Wen wanted to prostitute for nothing, as a minister of the imperial court, well, he was a good official, but from the perspective of a businessman, he was a brute......

Why didn't the people open up the land by themselves and rent the land of the gentry to plant?

Precisely because there are no ploughing oxen!

A ploughing ox using a curved plough can complete the workload of six to eight ploughers in the West at the same time.

"I have to let Zhu Houzhao find a new project for Zhou Yu, and my relatives' oil must continue to flow, and there will be no silver to flow from."

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated, but decided to give Zhou Yu some compensation and liquidate eighty percent of the expenses.

After the next court, the ministers withdrew from the main hall.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing on the side: "Have you finished printing the books in the palace?" ”

"Master, after printing, it was sent to Liangxiang, the library in Liangxiang has been opened, and the readers in the capital have rushed to borrow it." Xiao Jing said respectfully.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

……

East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao wore a warm jacket, and after shooting an arrow, he threw the bow aside boringly, and after winter, the crickets could not be found, and there was a lot less fun in the palace.

"What's the fun outside the palace lately?"

The eunuch on the side hurriedly came up: "Liangxiang has built a library, which is more magnificent than the library building in the palace, and the talents gather, and the prosperity is comparable to that of Jiangnan." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "What's so fun about reading!" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know that in the library, there is an extremely interesting thing called Dou Shi.

There are many readers, but there are few books in the library, and when two scholars see the same book, they win by fighting poems! I heard that there was a talented man who fought 90 poems and robbed 90 books, but he did not taste defeat. Another little eunuch flattered.

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.

"This person's name is Kang Hai, he was known as a prodigy when he was a child, and he is very famous in Wugong County."

Zhu Houzhao was not happy.

"On the land of the main palace, someone dares to call it a prodigy?"

The world is talented, and the palace accounts for ten buckets......

No, the palace accounts for seven buckets, Lao Gao accounts for two buckets, and the people of the world share one bucket, so dare to call it a prodigy? It's just that I don't take this big prodigy of this palace in my eyes!

Another little eunuch said: "There is another person, Dou Shi is extremely powerful, this person's name is Cheng Qingshan, he is a homeless person, he robbed two hundred and thirty books in the library, and he has not tasted defeat. ”

Grabbed two hundred and thirty copies?

Zhu Houzhao's competitive heart was ignited, regardless of whether he was a homeless or not, he smiled with bad intentions: "You four change your clothes and go out of the palace with this palace!" ”
