Chapter 619: The Copper Plate Library
The library is a symbol of civilization, and since the first library was established by the human race, the elves, the orcs, and the dwarves have not been able to shake the dominance of the human race on the continent.
Elves have long lifespans, the longest elves can even live five hundred years old, and the common ones are two hundred to three hundred years old.
The long life can make the elves learn a lot of things, but it also makes them ignore the application of books, and the knowledge of the entire elven clan is almost contained in the head of the eldest of them.
If the elder lives long enough, and his successor can fully learn the knowledge in the elder's head, if there is an accident with the elder, or if the inheritor has an accident, then the knowledge is dangerous.
The orcs have a library, and those are all learning from the human race, and the dwarves used to have it, but since the loss of their city-state, the dwarves scattered all over the continent no longer have the ability to build this library.
The mechanical skills of the dwarves began to be inherited by the human race, and then relied on books to pass them on.
Therefore, thousands of years have passed, the elves can only develop their own populations in the green forests of the west, the orcs can only retreat in the wild plains in the south, and the dwarves have even lost their homes.
Therefore, when Xiu Yin proposed to build a library tube, no one objected, but a piece of praise for Xiu Yin.
But immediately, there was another commotion in the hall, and it turned out that there was a quarrel over the name of the library.
Arguing about the name is very important, once the lord adopts it, he will be equivalent to writing it in the history of the Longhui Lord!
No, the ministers began to discuss it, and even Hans, who rarely participated in this kind of thing, shouted, "Neumann Library!"
Hey, what a simple and crude name.
But Xiu Yin shook his head, this name is not suitable, it is true that you can leave a name in history by using your own name, but once the Neumann family declines one day, this library will become dust in history.
Xiu Yin wanted a simple name, and in addition to the function of the library to collect books, the more important purpose of Xiu Yin was to bring convenience to the people in the lower classes.
Cultivators from different worlds only understand one truth, and knowledge changes fate.
Imagine if your soldiers used mathematical formulas, physics calculated, range, angle......
At that time, the 10,000 crossbows fired at the same time were not something that any army on the mainland could stop.
In the other world, on the Divine Mercy Continent, most of the nobles will patronize the library, and the rest are a small number of magicians, and the rest, except for some personal preferences, no one wants to enter the library.
The reason is also very simple, the more primitive manual labor has made most of the people have no energy to read books, even if they want to read, the energy does not allow it.
However, the Xiu En Society gradually transformed Navarran, the Dragon's Radiance, into a mechanical city like the Dwarven Hammer City back then.
Thuin had wanted Moffett to gather more of his dwarven brothers to Navarran, but Moffett refused.
"Hey, don't think I don't know, dwarves are discriminated against, so my lord, how will you treat those who discriminate against dwarves?"
Moffitt's words directly poured Xiuyin's heart cold.
Yes, discrimination exists, just like the Lentterdammers, the human race directly calls them orcs, that is, primitive barbarians, and does not regard them as equal intelligent races at all.
An important factor in the difficulty of protecting the interests of the dwarves is the lack of nobility among them in the human world, and although the dwarven forging is admirable and impressive, people are more appreciative of the dukes who live in castles with the glory of their families.
In order to change this view, Shuin came up with the idea of having the people read books and the Minister of the Interior to edit the books that the people could do with other intelligent races.
The library was located on the banks of the Tianshui River, which is a beautiful place that leads to the tracks of the train and is a certain distance from the central square in the city of Navarran, otherwise the crowds are too dense and the traffic will be jammed.
Not only a large library, but also many smaller libraries.
Xiu Yin directly ordered that there must be a small shop selling books on every commercial street.
As for the name of the library, Xiu Yin had already thought of it.
Copper Plate Library.
The name was a name that Hans felt was not as good as his name.
Copperplate...... It's better to call it silver coins and gold bars.
Xiu Yin is different, copper plate, the most people-friendly name, because in the daily life of the Guangda people, the most used currency is the copper coin, the library, is a place that benefits the entire people, not a place where only the privileged class in the Longhui Territory can go.
Because there was a previous rule that any building in the Longhui Domain must not exceed three and a half floors, because the height of the Xiuyin Lord's Mansion is a four-story building.
Therefore, Xiu Yin ordered again that the number of floors of the library should be at least a five-story building, and the area should be larger than the area of his mansion.
Of course, as soon as this order was issued, some ministers stood up against it.
"How can this be, the lord is the supreme glory in the Longhui Domain......"
The minister didn't speak, but was directly interrupted by Xiu Yin, "Supreme Glory? Isn't the Bibo Kingdom with the highest glory being sacked by a gang of bandits?
Wow –
A round of applause was followed by a great compliment.
Because of Xiu's words, the ministers in the territory were completely convinced of him.
I'm afraid there won't be anyone like Lord Xiu Yin on the mainland, when countless lords are clinging to the glory of their family, maybe only the glory emanating from Xiu Yin is shining on the entire people who love him.
Therefore, as soon as Xiuin's order was issued, the entire city of Navarran resounded with praise for Xiuin, and whenever the streets and alleys heard about Neumann's name, they would immediately resound with respect and praise for Xiuin.
Even for three days in a row, if Xiu Yin hadn't issued another order telling everyone not to do this, the praise would have lasted even longer.
In mid-autumn, construction began on the expanded central plaza and the new copper-plated library.
The grain harvest was abundant, and the grain trade with the Bofeng Empire began, Xiu Yin would not let Pizarro I set the price, he told Pizarro I that this was all a matter of the Star Chamber of Commerce, and he could not participate.
Pizarro I, of course, would not have known that the head of the Chamber of Commerce was still Xiuyin.
