Lu Su heard it on the side, thought for a moment and said, "I also have a few books there, I will list them for the county lord to see, if you don't have them here, I will send them to someone." With {dream} small ◢.1a"

He scanned the categories today, and he didn't know which books he had, but he wasn't sure if there were any that hadn't been put out now, so he still had to show Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Lu is willing, he can donate no matter whether there are such books in the reading building, just one copy of each, and some will be put in for others to borrow, and there will be no one to copy." ”

Lu Su raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll send someone over when I turn around." ”

Lin Qingwan raised her glass and said: "May the Reading Building last for thousands of years, and I will be safe and secure in the country." ”

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses to congratulate, "May the reading building last for a thousand years, and the people of the Great Liang Dynasty will be safe." ”

After dinner, everyone dispersed, the city gate was closed, and Lin Qingwan did not go out of the city, but took Lin Yubin and the children of the Lin family back to live in the Lin Mansion.

The next day was the day when the reading building was opened, which was a big event, Lin Qingwan invited all the major families to watch the ceremony, of course, Zhou Tingshi, who was the official of Suzhou's parents, would naturally not be absent.

The Shang family came from Shang Mingyuan, and to Lin Qingwan's surprise, Zhou Bai, the head of the Zhou family, came in person.

In the past, his younger brother Zhou Song came forward to do these things.

Not only did he come, but he also brought a cart of books, and regardless of whether there was one in the reading building, he directly donated them to Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan was very happy, and welcomed people into the door very gratefully, with Zhou Bai taking the lead, there are really a lot of people who are pulling books as congratulatory gifts today, that is, the Qian family, who was born in a businessman, has pulled two boxes of books.

Lin Qingwan asked people to carry the book in, planning to tidy it up later.

When she arrived, she stood at the door with Zhou Tingshi and others to remove the red cloth on the plaque, looked at the scholars who slipped underneath and said: "This reading building was given by His Majesty, and I said when I asked His Majesty for this building, anyone who wants to learn can enter to read books, whether you are an official, a businessman, or a student who is studying, or a farmer working in the field, even if you are a slave, you can also enter." ”

"There is no identity here, and everyone who enters here has only one identity - the person who reads the book!" Lin Qingwan said: "The reading building is open, but it doesn't mean that there are no rules, I hope everyone who enters here must abide by the rules here." ”

After that, she took out a fold with dense words written on it from her sleeve and said, "This is the rule I have set for you temporarily, and now I will briefly tell you about it." ”

"First, there should be no noise in the reading building, and if you want to argue or quarrel or fight, please go out; 2. No food other than water is allowed to be brought into the Reading Building......"

The hearts of the scholars slowly fell, and they would definitely not commit such a trivial matter.

Lin Qingwan's rules are very detailed, and at the same time, she also gave some explanations for the operation of the reading building.

At present, except for the books on the third floor, all the books in the reading building can be borrowed, but they are not allowed to be taken out of the reading building, nor are they allowed to tear up or stain the books.

If there is a penalty of twice the price of the book, and depending on the situation, it is not allowed to enter the library for a certain period of time.

If there is any deliberate tearing or soiling of the book, the punishment is the same as in the above article.

Lin Qingwan closed the fold in her hand and said: "The books in the reading building can be copied and taken away, and the ink and paper are brought by yourself, but I want to reiterate again, never stain or destroy the books." ”

The students from the poor family were excited when they heard this, which means that as long as they can afford to buy ink paper, they can copy the books inside at will?

Even the old people who are incapable of taking the imperial examination are excited, they can go in and copy a few more copies for future generations.

Books are such a precious thing.

Lin Qingwan continued: "Because of the limited time, there are only one book in a large number of books, and the printing speed of Lin's Books is slow, so I will invite someone to copy these books. ”

Finally, she pointed to a small door next to her and said: "This is the branch of Hanmo Zhai here, students who want to buy books can place an order this time, as long as we have books in Han Mo Zhai, we will sell them." The books in the reading building are not for sale, and all the books sold in this small door are all books printed or copied by Lin's Bookstore. ”

"The income from the sale of books, in addition to deducting the cost, the income is first used to support the expenses of the Reading Building," Lin Qingwan raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "So you don't have to worry about the fees charged by the Reading Building in the future, because the Reading Building has its own source of income, and no matter how bad it is, there will be me!" ”

Everyone looked at Lin Qingwan's eyes full of admiration and admiration, and they bent down and waved their hands in a happy and sincere manner: "The county lord is righteous!" ”

Lin Qingwan didn't avoid this salute, accepted it calmly, and said: "I hope that you will not live up to Your Majesty's expectations, study hard, and contribute to the future construction of my Daliang." ”

After that, he raised his head slightly to Lin An and said loudly: "Today, the Reading Building is officially opened!" ”

Lin An immediately took the fire to light the firecrackers, which can be regarded as wishing the reading building a prosperous future in the future.

When the cannon fire ended, Lin Qingwan first invited Zhou Bai and others into the reading building, and then the scholars behind entered in an orderly manner.

Zhou Baiyuan was also worried about the dimness of the room, and when he came in, he found that there were open windows on both sides of the reading building, and it was the kind of continuous window, and the light was obliquely shining down from above, even if some light was blocked by the high bookshelves, it was also very bright.

Zhou Bai looked at the bookshelf full of books, and couldn't help but sigh: "The county lord has such a big hand." ”

He looked at the stairs and asked in a low voice, "The bookshelves on the second floor are also full?" ”

"No," Lin Qingwan said, "There are still many books that have not been printed in copies, so I haven't taken them out." ”

Zhou Bai said that she understood that most of those books Lin family only received one, and it was impossible for her to take out those books in large quantities, otherwise she would cry to death if they were damaged.

Lin Qingwan led them to the second floor, "The space on the second floor is larger than the first floor, and the light is better, you can see if you have a favorite book." ”

On the first floor of the Reading Building, there is a row of long tables and benches along the walls, all fixed to the floor.

There are three and a half sides, except for the small house at the entrance and behind the counter, and the rest of the parts along the wall are set up with tables and stools.

Except for the two places near the door and the counter, the front windows of the other tables and stools were opened, and the hall was very bright.

It can be said that the row of windows is one of the major features of the reading building, the window lattice is a wooden structure, which is pushed open from the inside, but for safety, there is also a large window outside.

The window was made of heavy wood, and it took two to three people to prop it up with poles, and a window could knock a horse down.

When the museum is closed, it is put down, and then the lock is placed on the inside, and it can no longer be opened.

This kind of window is safer than iron windows, which was specially designed by Mr. Shan at the beginning of the construction of the Reading Building, because Lin Qingwan was worried about the lighting and safety of the Reading Building.

The lighting on the first floor is still so good, not to mention the second and third floors, there are windows on all sides, and the light is even better.

Also for safety, the window lattices on the second and third floors are different, no large windows are installed outside, but the thick wooden window lattices are replaced, and the mouth is the size of an adult's arm, but the wood is very thick, and it cannot be opened easily.

Lin Qingwan sent the guards at home to test, and when the windows are locked, it is difficult for them to sneak in, and those who can enter will open the window locks, which is a technical invasion.

And the window locks that Mr. Shan designed for him, well, most people can't open them, including her specially trained guards, and only three of them have opened them.

So Lin Qingwan was very relieved.

Similarly, long tables and benches are set up on all four sides of the wall on the second floor for people to sit and read and copy books.

Upstairs and downstairs were quiet, and everyone tried not to make noise, but everyone could still hear gasps from time to time.

Zhou Bai and the others were shocked by the books in the building, not to mention the scholars who came in, except for the students who came to help sort and place the books before, the rest of them all opened their mouths wide.

Then he took a deep breath and clutched his chest to look for a book.

There are some books that have never been heard of or seen, and the scholars who came in took a copy and didn't want to go out at the moment.

Zhou Bai also found a good book, so he sat on a stool and read it.

After half a ring, he always felt that something was wrong, he looked up at the outside consciously, then rubbed his hands, and looked at Lin Qingwan silently.

Lin Qingwan was talking to Shi Xian and Shi Hui in a low voice, and when she noticed his gaze, she turned her head to look at him, glanced at the hand he was rubbing, and she walked over helplessly and said, "Brother Zhou Shi found out?" ”

She stood beside him, looked outside, and said, "It's a little cold here." ”

It's not a little, it's very cold.

Zhou Bai said helplessly: "This window seems to be too big." ”

"There's no way, you can't see open flames in the building, the lighting is limited, and now the funds are limited, it is definitely impossible to ensure lighting and warmth together, so you can only choose one of the two," Lin Qingwan said: "So the next thing depends on everyone's perseverance." ”

"But reading books is to sail against the current, and to endure hardships in order to become a master." Zhou Bai opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The county lord's bento is polishing their muscles and bones." ”

Lin Qingwan twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't speak, who wants to starve and freeze if she can study comfortably? In the future, if possible, the conditions should be improved.

But obviously, there are many people who think that this window is open well, so Zhou Tingshi touched his beard and smiled: "This is the cold window of hard reading, and reading is not a comfortable thing." ”

Shi Xian also said: "The heavens will descend on the Si people, they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones, and the county lord can't get used to them too much, now they have books on this floor for free to read, but they are much luckier than their ancestors." ”

"I think reading is a happy thing, and since you want to be happy, the more comfortable you are, the better," Lin Qingwan expressed a different opinion, "Don't you think it's pleasant to learn unknown knowledge?" ”

She pointed to the students downstairs who were happily touching around and asked, "If they weren't happy, they wouldn't be so happy." ”

Zhou Tingshi, "I didn't say that reading is unhappy......"

"If reading is fun, why can't you enjoy it when you read? Do you think about it, is it a pleasure to read leisurely in a warm room like spring, or is it more pleasant to stand in the cold wind and read? ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at Zhou Tingshi and said, "Is it better for Lord Zhou to read books with a stove in the study, or is it better to learn from standing in the snow?" ”

Zhou Tingshi was dumbfounded.

Lu Su couldn't help laughing, "Brother Zhou should have more understanding of this question, right?" ”

After all, he had just been so cold that he put down his books.

Zhou Bai's face turned red and he picked up the book on the table again.
