Jiangyang Town has libraries that are not available in several nearby towns - this is actually a very unusual phenomenon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that in this era when cultivation is king, the books in the library are generally related to cultivation, such as a famous teacher who has written a "Cultivation Guide", or the Fengyun Record of a "well-known" principal, and so on.

In short, the books in the library have a little to do with the cultivation club, and even if they don't have any relationship, they will also have some relationships, such as the so-called Fengyunlu, which talks about how someone worked hard and finally broke through the history of struggle, etc., the description is full of enthusiasm, so that young children always have a kind of urge to be diligent when they read it.

And those books that have nothing to do with cultivation have either been placed in the corner for a long time and no one has opened them, or some of them have been forgotten by the librarian.

It can be said that books that have nothing to do with cultivation have all been put into the cold palace.

Because of this, there are no libraries in the north direction where there is no cultivation talent, and even some of the main cities, according to the rules of the kingdom, must build a library, in fact, it is just a perfunctory hut, and some unlucky guys who are excluded are sent to be on duty there, and no one cares about you if you want to sleep, and basically no one will go anyway, even if you leave your post, it's nothing, so don't be reported.

No matter what kind of era, people will have one thing in common, that is, pragmatism.

All those who are not pragmatic have basically been eliminated, although there is nothing to do with the northerners in the cultivation era, but the food and vegetables produced in the north cannot be replaced by the south, plus the kingdom will make some subsidies and protection to the northern government every year, so that the northerners who "should be eliminated" are not exterminated.

But even if the northerners don't have the talent for cultivation, for them, there are also pragmatic things, getting up early and working late to cultivate the land is the norm for most northerners, of course, there are some children with slightly better family conditions, who will go to find some craftsmen, grooms, etc., to learn a teacher, so as to facilitate the future work can be easier.

In other words, a place like the library would never be entered by northerners!

What are you doing in there?

Looking at those cultivation materials? I can't cultivate myself, isn't it a waste of time to look at that?

What are you kidding? Does it have anything to do with you? Can you do more hours of work after watching it? Or do you eat a few fewer bites?

It's a waste of time and impractical!

However, the mayor of the town who was transferred from the south was full of enthusiasm and great desire to repay the negative, and the first policy slogan he took office that year was to change the backward north and make the northerners more developed than the southerners!

Perhaps, the mayor didn't realize that he was actually sent to the north to take up his post, and he actually really built a library seriously, and this library was about the same size as the main city in the south.

At that time, the mayor of the town was proud to introduce that the books in the town library and even the library in the main city were richer!

His words were not wrong at all, it was indeed richer than the libraries in the main cities in the north, but the volume of books was at most the level of the southern towns.

I don't know where he got some strange books to fill the stacks, all of which have nothing to do with cultivation - maybe all the books that the Southern Library didn't want were all moved here by him.

In short, his enthusiasm was so high that he stirred up the emotions of the people in the north and encouraged them, with only one purpose, to get the northerners to study in the library, and the propaganda slogans were even more exaggerated -- when you came out of it, you realized that you were living like a pig in a pigsty.

At first, the people of the town were still a little interested, after all, they had never seen this kind of thing before, and this novelty, coupled with the mayor's confident incitement, soon led a group of people into the town's library.

However, everyone who came out of it did not understand why they used to live like a pig, so many people were angry, and even some people cursed the mayor for this, and under pressure, the mayor had to revoke the propaganda slogan of the library, and he investigated the reason before he learned that the northerners were basically illiterate, and it was strange that they could read books!

So, he began to set up special colleges to teach people to read and write, but the pragmatic people of the north simply ignored him, and even if he let the college be free of tuition and fees, no one wanted to go to school.

In the end, the mayor had no choice but to carry out various activities, inviting literate people from the town and surrounding villages to participate in a knowledge contest, the specific content of which was nothing more than asking them to read the books in the library, and then talk about their feelings, and then some judges selected by the mayor to select and so on.

Of course, all the people who went to participate went for the prize money of the top three, but later, everyone found that only three people could get money, and more and more people participated, forcing the mayor to announce that as long as they signed up, they would get money to continue this kind of activity.

It's a pity that the finances are always beyond their means, and the money that can be taken out here is naturally getting less and less.

He also seems to have finally understood the fact that people's lifestyles change with the environment, and they cannot be changed by themselves.

So, after that, he never tossed about the library again, and the library was gradually abandoned, but I don't know why, maybe because of the stubbornness in his heart, even if no one went to the library for a year, he still didn't revoke it, but just moved it from the best part of the town center to an inconspicuous corner of the town.

Many years have passed, and the people of the town have long forgotten that this building still exists, and no one will take the initiative to go to that dark corner that is difficult to get sunlight, it seems that it has long disappeared into the long river of history.

It's just that...... It hasn't really been forgotten yet.

Knock knock knock -

Chu Tianyin pushed open the closed wooden door that did not shelter the wind, and skillfully knocked on the table three times on the tattered front desk.

Not long after, an old but impatient voice sounded under the originally empty front desk: "It's Chu Tianyin again, you kid, right? I don't have to get up to know it's you, can't you let me sleep well? If you want to borrow any books to get yourself, don't bother me!"

"I'm just reminding you I'm coming. Chu Tianyin walked past the front desk with a calm face, and said as he walked towards the library: "The elderly don't sleep so much all day, go out more and move their bodies, and they can live a little longer." ”

"Why live longer? If you live longer, it's still a salted fish. The impatient voice said disdainfully, "That's what you said." ”

The heavy cotton boots made a "creaking" sound when he stepped on the wooden floor, Chu Tianyin didn't walk well, and his left foot immediately collapsed the floor with a "click" and fell in, but he was not frightened by this, but calmly pulled out his foot, frowned slightly, and said: "Old guy, you really should ask someone to repair the floor, you see that this perennial damp and dry can step out of a hole if you are not careful." ”

"It's all stepped on by you, and if you step on it more, you will step on it flat. The tone of the voice became disapproving: "Then it will be no different from flat ground." ”

Indeed, as he said, there were holes in the dimly lit floor of the library that had been stepped on everywhere.

Chu Tianyin didn't say anything more, picked up an oil lamp by the window, skillfully walked over the holes in the ground, and bypassed one bookshelf after another, and finally stopped in a corner, he calmly ripped off the cobwebs hanging on it, picked up a worn-out book and blew the dust on it.

Connection...... It was almost obscured, and the library, which was already poorly lit, seemed to be plunged into darkness for a moment.

"Ahem, cough!!" Chu Tianyin was choked and coughed a few times, and complained loudly: "The dust accumulated on here is almost thicker than a book." ”

The voice didn't sound again.

Chu Tianyin didn't care, and after seeing the name of the book clearly, he put it back again.

In this way, I searched for a long time with the oil lamp, coughed several times, and finally picked up the six books that had been thrown on the ground and turned back.

Bang!

He put six books on the table, and when he got there, there was a burst of dust, and even the impatient voice coughed a few times, and then he saw an old man with a white beard and a white beard get up from under the front desk, coughing and complaining: "Can you be lighter?! I don't know if the dust is deposited downward, you almost choked me to death just now!"

It was only after saying this that he took out a wine bag from underneath, tilted his head and poured it into his mouth fiercely, and then let out a comfortable moan.

"I've cleaned up the dust all over again, instead of complaining about me, why don't you, as a librarian, clean it up yourself?" Chu Tianyin's tone was very calm, and as he spoke, he grabbed a small leather book next to him, picked up an ink pen and copied the titles of the books one by one.

The old man's face was so thick and white that it was difficult to see his facial features clearly, and he impatiently snatched the small notebook and said, "Don't remember, this library is only open for you, what's the point of remembering this?...... How is it that "Architecture", "Architectural Drawings", "Building Materials", "History of Kingdom Building", "Architectural Design Techniques" are all related to architecture? Why have you become interested in these things lately?"

"There's also a copy of 'Architectural Construction', you can write it down. The book was snatched away, Chu Tianyin simply dropped the ink pen, and did not answer his words, picked up the six books and turned around and walked outside.

The old man didn't even glance at the ink pen, just threw the small notebook aside, and then lay back on his head again.

It's just that before he could lie down, Chu Tianyin suddenly turned back again, and then heard a few "ding, ding, ding" sounds on the table at the front desk.

As soon as he heard this voice, the old man was instantly attracted to it, and saw a gold coin rolling in front of him, almost rolling to the ground.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped up and grabbed it, and as soon as he got the gold coin, he heard Chu Tianyin's voice sound again: "Find some people to renovate the library, at least clean up the sanitation a little, and by the way, you also go out to bask in the sun, this gold coin will definitely not be used, and the rest will ...... Drink less of this inferior bar, the pungent smell is too bad, and the rest of the money to buy good wine will be enough for you to drink for many years, so you can live a few more years, and I don't want to find your body stinky next time I come. ”

The value of a gold coin is definitely a lot, like Chu Tianyin pulled more than 20 building materials plus labor costs and travel expenses are only five gold coins, and renovating this not very big library will not cost too much money, Chu Tianyin will of course want to borrow books in a clean and tidy library or even read here, although he is also selfish, but the rest of the money after the renovation can be regarded as a big head.

"Gold coin!!God! This is really a gold coin!!" The old man didn't seem to hear Chu Tianyin's words at all, he pinched the gold coin and shouted excitedly: "This is a real gold coin! It's not a fake! Where did you get ???it?"

"It doesn't matter where I got it, it's legal anyway. Chu Tianyin's voice had already gone away: "Just take it as a reward for me alone for so many years." ”

"Ahh......h

He kissed the gold coin twice, almost letting out an arrogant demonic laugh: "Hahahahahaha...... Chu Tianyin, you kid hahahahahaha, old man, I never like to owe others anything in my life, just find someone to renovate this library, it will definitely not take so much money...... Say! If you have any request, just tell me! I will definitely return the favor to you!"

Chu Tianyin, who was about to open the dilapidated door, suddenly stopped, he pondered for a moment, then turned around abruptly and turned back.
