Chapter XVII Library

PS: Thanks for the fun, 351007.qdcn, Blueboy, ah v Lei's recommendation vote; Sincere thanks to AZ51 for the tip, today's update is a little late, I'm really sorry.

Changsun Tang doesn't have much purpose in cultivating talents, just to make himself look less out of the crowd, which is too eye-catching and too big.

Changsun Tang originally planned to establish a university, and he became the first president of this first university, which seemed to be a good idea.

But after thinking about it, I had to give up, why?

This is not a big problem at any time as long as it can be solved by money, the problem is that Changsun Tang is still very rich, very rich, and if he can't even solve the problem of food and clothing after so many years as a traverser, it will be too much of a failure.

But what about this teacher? What is it taught? What is this textbook?

The problem here is that I didn't expect that an eldest grandson would have a headache.

In fact, as a university, it is not something that can be solved by just a few buildings.

In addition to the material conditions, the university is more important than the problem of people and books.

Without a teacher, this learning would not have been possible in any way. Again, there is no teaching content for what you want your students to learn.

So, this tempting idea had to be abandoned.

However, there is a saying that goes like this: if there are difficulties, you must go up, and if there are no difficulties, you must also go up. If there is a problem, find a way to solve it.

So the eldest grandson plans to take two steps, get the book first, and this person may have it.

The process of getting books was arduous, and Changsun Tang himself ran all over the East and West Cities for several days in a row but did not find a bookstore, which was a bit unexpected by Changsun Tang.

In the feudal society where "reading is inferior, only reading is high", there is no bookstore, which makes Changsun Tang very frustrated.

He didn't understand why.

"Where did you get the books you used to read?" The eldest grandson asked.

"Passed down from my father." Wu Jiangdong answered as he should.

"Handed down? Your family heirloom is a book? No wonder you're so down! The eldest grandson exclaimed.

"You think you want to have a book as a family heirloom!" The eldest grandson was despised again.

"Isn't it?"

"......" Wu Jiangdong was a little speechless, you said that this eldest grandson was a very shrewd person most of the time, why did he always make such a common-sense mistake?

Oh, this common-sense mistake is also the phrase used by the eldest grandson when he scolded Wu Jiangdong, this is really called the current world newspaper.

It took a long time for this eldest grandson to understand that it turned out that the two idioms of cultivating and reading heirlooms and family learning origins were pointed.

At this time, because engraving printing had not yet been invented, all books needed to be copied by hand, so there were many idioms about copying books, and bookstores without the source of books naturally could not be opened.

In addition, although the price of paper at this time has decreased, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

As a result, book resources were in the hands of a small number of scholars, which amounted to a monopoly on knowledge.

In general, the heritage of a large family can be reflected by the number of books in its collection.

However, it is impossible for a family to read all books intensively, and a family will take a book as an heirloom for generations. In many cases, the same book, after dozens of generations of annotations from the ancestors of the family, contains even higher gold content than the original book, which is also the origin of family learning.

The Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty were basically produced by a big family, which shows the degree of monopoly.

It can be said that in the early Tang Dynasty, if a commoner wanted to read, he couldn't even find a book, not even a yellow calendar!

If the eldest grandson wants to establish a library, it can be said that he will free the monopoly of knowledge of the family, which will seriously weaken the ruling foundation of the family, and it is basically impossible to obtain the secret books and even annotations of each family.

It's hard to build a school, but it's not that difficult to build a library!

But at the end of the day, I found that it is really not easy for people to live, people who are easy to do things are unwilling to do it, and people who are difficult are willing to do it, but it is not so simple to overcome this difficulty.

Why is it so easy for others, but it is so difficult for yourself, the eldest grandson lamented.

As a project that will be built sooner or later, Changsun Tang did not intend to give up, so he still started the preparatory work for the construction of the library in full swing.

Regarding the site selection, as a library in his mind, Changsun Tang has his own ideas: it cannot be built in Chang'an City.

One is the problem of land, and the other is that the library can't avoid holding something like a debate competition. If it is built in the city, it will have a lot of impact.

The eldest grandson still lamented that no one was available.

"What do you think of me building a library?" As an indigenous, Wu Jiangdong's grasp of the pulse of the times is still relatively accurate, because Wu Jiangdong's restaurant has not been open for a long time, this eldest grandson can only talk to him and listen to his opinions.

"What library?"

"It's the library." Changsun Tang had to be summed up in words at this time.

"Oh, what's the use of you building this?"

"Give those who can't find a book to read a chance to read."

"It's a good idea, but the point is that the book is hard to find, so you'll have to figure it out yourself." Wu Jiangdong's opinion on this matter is indeed to the point.

"Do you have any good ideas?" The eldest grandson asked rhetorically.

"Ask your father." Wu Jiangdong rolled his eyes, if I can solve this problem, will I come to work for you?

Only then did the eldest grandson realize that he had reached a dead end.

So the eldest grandson, who had not returned to his "home" for a while, returned to this nominal home.

The eldest grandson went only because he estimated that the eldest grandson Wuji was at home.

According to the general bridge, he should be severely humiliated by Changsun Chong at this time, but Changsun Chong is not at home. This made the lines prepared by the eldest grandson useless.

This can't help but make the eldest grandson feel lonely in the world.

This is finished, those who should ask for peace still have to ask for peace, first went to the Dou family, and then went to find the eldest grandson Wuji.

"You want to see the library?" The eldest grandson Wuji was a little unexpected, and this eldest grandson would come out unexpectedly every time.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"This scholarship cannot always be in the hands of a few. If we had been prepared in advance, we would have suffered less damage. "As a person with vested interests, Changsun Wuji will not easily open this opening, which is the reason why Changsun Wuji has found a good reason in advance.

"It's been like this for hundreds of years, and you can change when you say it, but what are the signs?" Changsun Wuji feels that every time he talks to Changsun Tang, he has a feeling of being led by the nose, this is not to say that Changsun Tang is powerful, but Changsun Tang stands on the shoulders of giants, and naturally sees farther than Changsun Wuji.

"I wonder what my father thinks of the popular New Year's pictures in recent years?" Changsun Tang changed his perspective to illustrate this problem.

"You said the paper painting that was pasted on the door during the New Year?" It has not happened that Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong have become door gods, but New Year's paintings have become popular.

"yes, that's it."

"What does that have to do with the library?" The eldest grandson Wuji was very depressed, if it weren't for his son, he would have been blasted out early in the morning, I don't care what you say, I don't understand it, you don't think about it.
