Chapter 711: Reaching the Next Level
Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and other generals are still observing the bright library with great interest, they feel that it is very exciting to inlay so much glass on the wall, it would be good if such a hall could be built at home, but Li Er, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others paid attention to the books on the bookshelf, Li Er and a group of civil officials quickly came to the bookshelf, pulled out the books from the bookshelf and opened them with anticipation, brand new books, rich book fragrance, clear handwriting, everything is so perfect, Li Er said in surprise.
"These books printed with movable type printing are even clearer than those printed by engraving."
Wei Zheng flipped through several different books one after another, and found that although the content was different, the handwriting was exactly the same, indicating that they were all printed from the same type, but the order of the movable type was changed, Wei Zheng nodded.
"It's really clearer, and it's really printed with movable type, which shows that movable type printing is really a big success!"
"Of course it worked, otherwise what would I do to build a library? Let's go up there and take a look, they're all upstairs. ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go upstairs and have a look."
After Li Er finished speaking, he immediately walked upstairs, and some guards had already gone upstairs to set up defenses in advance, so when Li Er walked upstairs, Cheng Chumo upstairs had already known about the arrival of the saint, and they were all waiting at the staircase.
"Meet the saints!"
Hundreds of people said respectfully, and Li Er's gaze slowly swept over everyone and said with a smile.
"You guys are very good, although you almost haven't turned over Chang'an City these days, but you helped Li Yong build a new imperial library, which can be regarded as benefiting the world and future generations, I am very pleased!"
Li Jingheng and Zhang Zhilong are okay, they can often get a little light behind Li Yong's buttocks, so they are not too excited to hear the emperor's praise, but like Changsun Chong, Wei Shuyu, and Fang Yizhi, they are different, although they all have extraordinary family backgrounds, but they have never experienced such a time when they are praised by the emperor, so they are all excited and their faces are flushed, they didn't expect the emperor to come in person and praise them, if they knew earlier, even if they didn't contribute to the monument, they would have worked extra hard, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled.
"Li Yong's library is for the benefit of the common people, anyway, these boys are also idle, and they should be able to help!"
Li Daozong's eyebrows fluttered and he smiled.
"Yes, saints, they should do it, and they can't afford the praise of the saints!"
Li Er said with a smile.
"Deserve to be praised, these boys are still very fast, I heard that Li Yong is going to build a library and specially sorted out the books in the palace, and let the pheasant slaves send them to Lijiazhuang, but I didn't expect Li Yong to say that those books are already there, so that a certain is very emotional!"
Li Yong bowed slightly.
"I want to thank the saint!"
Li Er waved his hand and smiled.
"It's great that you're going to build a new library, of course I'm going to help you! I just didn't expect your library to be built so quickly! There are more books on the second floor than on the first floor! ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Because there is a hall at the entrance on the first floor, there are not many books, and there are more books on the second floor."
After Li Jingheng and the others who were around dispersed, Li Er, Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but gasp, not just more, just too much!
It's a sea of books! None of the ministers in the court have a study! However, the study room at home is simply shabby compared to here, think about the books downstairs, and then think about so many books upstairs, if you don't see it with your own eyes, this is simply beyond their imagination, Li Er took a group of ministers to wander up on the second floor, the books on the first floor are very common books for everyone, so it did not cause everyone to marvel, but on the second floor, there are many books that are not very common books.
"Oops, I've been looking for this book for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it here!"
Kong Yingda said with a look of surprise.
"Yo, this one looks interesting!"
"Hey, there's this book!"
A group of scholars wandered around the library, from time to time let out a sigh of surprise, on the first floor, although they sighed at the magnificence of the library, but did not think of coming to the library to read, because the books on the first floor are common books, they have all read, some even recite like a stream, but now on the second floor, they have found a lot of books they have not read, many ministers in the court suddenly became interested, it turned out, this library is also a treasure trove for them!
"I didn't expect that Li Yong had collected so many books, many of which he hadn't even seen before, and in his spare time, the old man must come to the library to read books!"
Kong Yingda said excitedly, he is a great Confucian in the world, and there are really not many books he has not read, but there are so many books here that he has not read, how can he not be excited? Not only Kong Yingda was excited, but Chu Suiliang and others were very excited.
"Wouldn't it be beautiful to come together, when the time comes, to sit here and read a book?"
Chu Suiliang smiled, and Wei Zheng asked suspiciously.
"Didn't Li Yong just say that he didn't plan to open the museum? When will it open? ”
Li Er turned his head and asked.
"That's right, Li Yong, there are so many books here, why don't you plan to open the library yet?"
"Because there are still a lot of books that haven't been printed, and the third floor is still empty, so I want to wait!"
Li Yong explained with a smile, is the third floor still empty? The books on the first and second floors alone are scary enough, and if the third floor is full of books on the first floor, wouldn't it be scary to death? Li Er hurriedly said: "The fat man doesn't eat it in one bite, I think you don't have to wait until the third floor to fill up the books, these books are enough, enough for everyone to read, and the books on the third floor can be added slowly!" ”
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda and others also nodded again and again when they heard this, so many books are like a sea of books, it is indeed enough to read, and the books on the third floor can be slowly filled in later, Li Yong hesitated.
"Chen is a perfectionist, and I always feel that the third floor is empty!"
Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"The books on the first and second floors alone are enough to shock the world, today you are transporting books to the library can be described as a sensation in Chang'an, the people of the entire Chang'an are looking forward to the opening of the library, are you embarrassed to let the people of the entire Chang'an wait for you?"
Li Er waved his hand very firmly.
"Fang Qing is right, you can't let the people of Chang'an down, I remember that the day after tomorrow is a good day, as the so-called day after tomorrow is better than hitting the day, it is better to open the museum the day after tomorrow!"
Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others nodded in agreement after listening to the audit, since the emperor said so, and all the ministers also nodded in approval, Li Yong couldn't insist anymore, only hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, then let's officially open the museum the day after tomorrow!"
Kong Yingda smiled when she heard her gray beard.
"The matter of the library has already caused a sensation in Chang'an, and the opening of the library will be very lively the day after tomorrow, and the old man will definitely come to see the grand opening of the library the day after tomorrow."
Wei Zheng also nodded.
"It's really time to come and see it, it's a spectacle like this."
Many ministers nodded one after another, saying that they would definitely come to see the day after tomorrow, after all, this is Li Yong's hard work, and in their opinion, it is still a major event that can go down in history, of course, the more lively the better, Li Er also has such an idea, and I also hope that the day after tomorrow will be as lively as possible, but it is inconvenient for him to come as an emperor, after all, if he comes, he will have to be under martial law by the guards.
"Let Chang'an County and Wannian County post notices, so that the people don't know."
Li Er said with a smile, and Li Yong hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't bother, just let it be."
Li Er asked rhetorically.
"If it hadn't been for the notice, who knew the library would open tomorrow? The opening day is enough to go down in history, if it is deserted, what is it like? ”
Originally, Li Yong felt that there was no need to make a big fanfare, after all, the library should be a quiet place, if it was too lively, how could that person calm down and read? However, thinking that the literacy rate in this era is so low, so even if a notice is posted, there should not be too many people who can come to read, so Li Yong didn't say anything, Li Er and a group of ministers wandered in the library for a long time and were reluctant to leave, of course, this does not include Cheng Biting Jin and them, although this is spectacular, but they are not very interested in the books here, but more interested in the pieces of glass, in the palace, the little eunuch is reporting respectfully.
“…… Hundreds of carriages drove through the streets and alleys all the way to the Imperial Library, and all the carriages were full of books! The people on the road were stunned, and the people who had good deeds had counted them, and before they could count to five hundred, they were all frightened and fainted......
The little eunuch said affectionately, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and the eldest grandson queen sighed with emotion.
"Hundreds of carriages of books, it's really unimaginable, Li Yong has printed so many books in such a short period of time, movable type printing is really powerful! What a magnificent thing it would be if hundreds of wagons of books were all laid out! ”
Princess Yuzhang listened to a pair of big eyes and began to think about it, and the word "Book Mountain" suddenly came to mind in her mind, and Li Li said with a smile.
"I didn't see a book in the library, but I did......
French window? A glass door that turns? Empress Changsun and Princess Yuzhang sighed as they listened, full of yearning for the library.
"Sounds spectacular!"
Empress Eldest Sun said with emotion.
"Spectacular indeed!"
Li Er strode into the Lizheng Palace, and just heard the queen's emotion, and the eldest grandson queen hurriedly got up to greet him.
"The saint is back?"
Li Er nodded with a smile.
"Well, what a trip it was worth! If you don't go with your ministers, you will be taken with you. ”
At this time, he said good things, who couldn't wait to leave when he heard that Li Yong was transporting books to the library? Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"Li Yong's library is open? Tell the concubine quickly, so that the concubine can also have a long insight. ”
"The museum hasn't opened yet, Li Yong has transported more than 500 carts of books, but the first and second floors are full, and the third floor is still empty, so he doesn't want to open the museum yet, but he thinks it can be opened, so he decided to open the museum the day after tomorrow!"
Li Er explained with a smile, and Empress Eldest Sun nodded lightly when she heard this.
"The day after tomorrow is a good day!"
Li Er said with a smile.
"It's not just a good day, but it's also a big day that will go down in history, I'm afraid that the library will be too deserted the day after tomorrow, and I specially ordered Chang'an County and Wannian County to post notices to inform the people of Chang'an."
Empress Eldest Sun said with some regret when she heard this.
"Originally, the concubine wanted to go to the library to have a look, but when I thought that there must be a lot of people on the opening day, it was inconvenient for the concubine to go!"
Li Er said with a smile.
"After all, the day after tomorrow is the opening day of the museum, it is really inconvenient, if the queen wants to go, let Li Yong close the library for a day one day, no outsiders will disturb her, and the queen can take a good stroll around the library."
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but light up when she heard this, and nodded again and again.
"Well, the concubine must find a chance to take a look, now, the saint should talk to the concubine first, so that the concubine can have a long insight!"
Li Er said with emotion.
"Not to mention, this library built by Li Yong is really magnificent, the south wall is covered with glass, the lighting is very good, and the whole building is very bright, it feels really great!"
"The queen didn't see it, the ministers in the court were dumbfounded, haha......"
Hearing Li Er's laughter, Empress Changsun couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, the emperor said that all the ministers were dumbfounded, and she felt that the emperor must have been dumbfounded at that time.
"However, what makes a certain person feel the most is the books in it, a certain has never read so many books in his life, although he knows that Li Yong has collected a lot of books, but he can really feel that he is really in the library, there is a sea of books! Even Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang were all suppressed, there were many, many books, and even they hadn't read them, haha, the queen didn't see it, and the great Confucians like Kong Yingda and Chu Suiliang couldn't wait to stay in the library and not leave! They can't wait to meet and go to the library to read books together the day after tomorrow! ”
Li Er sighed with emotion, Princess Yuzhang was listening to the beautiful eyes of the audience, and there were ripples in her heart, I really want to go to the library to have a look! Li Liqing's face was full of pride, and at the same time she was very curious, although she had also been to the library before, she had never seen a library full of books, a library full of books, it must be even more shocking, right? Li Zhi has also been to the library, for the library in the floor-to-ceiling windows are still fresh memory, of course, he is not interested in the library sea of books or anything, all his interest is focused on the glass door that will turn, the last time he went to the library there was no door, I didn't expect the library door to be glass and will turn! He couldn't even think of what a glass door would look like if he could break his little head, and although he couldn't think of it, it would be very interesting if the door to the library could actually turn.
"Father, does the glass door of the library really turn?"
Li Zhi asked curiously.
