Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

At the beginning of February, the ice disappeared and the snow melted, and the willows spewed green. Although it was still a bit cold, there were already flowers selling everywhere.

The sky was just getting bright, the tall and heavy city gate slowly opened with the sound of drums, sprinkling the brilliance of the rising sun into the city gate.

When the people filed into the city, they saw the gates of Judefang and Qunxianfang on both sides of the Golden Light Gate opened wide, and the residents in the square also walked out in twos and threes, and the streets filled with morning light slowly awakened from the sleep of the night.

There is a small river flowing through the West Market through Qunxianfang, and pedestrians walking along the bank of the river can see the small lake formed by the river in front. Today, the lake is extremely lively, because the mysterious "shop" in Linhu is finally opening after satisfying everyone's appetite!

I heard that this shop was under the command of King Teng, who has just been entrusted by His Majesty today. This King Teng is the youngest brother of His Majesty.

I heard that people from all walks of life have come and gone in the past few months, including the prison students of the Imperial College, the small officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple, and the personal soldiers of General Li Jing's mansion, and so on!

I heard that there are many cases and bookshelves in several rooms, and they are full of books! Anyway, the person who preached these words has never seen so many books in his life!

It is precisely because of this kind of strangeness that many people have heard that this place will be officially opened today and come here early to wait for the excitement. As the story spread from ten to ten, many people gathered in the whole West Market one after another. There were vendors who saw business opportunities and squeezed their burdens to sell snacks!

Before the auspicious hour arrived, a group of people walked out of this mysterious shop and looked at their clothes. They were all supervised students of the Imperial College.

In normal times, these supervised students are all the pride of the sky, and they will be envied by others when they walk on the road. As a result, they are now wearing a red jacket on the outside of their supervisor's robe, and the words "volunteer" are written on the chest and back, which is very eye-catching!

These people did their part to gain everyone's attention.

Changsun Quan is one of these people wearing red jackets. He is the cousin of Changsun Wuji and Queen Changsun, but he is much younger than them and only entered the Imperial College this year.

Yu Zhi, the youngest grandson of Yu Shinan, who had the same illness as the eldest grandson, had a lot of neglect after Yu Shinan's death, so he worked very hard and wanted to get closer to his grandfather and glorify the Yu family again!

These two people are the tallest in this group of library volunteers, and most of the rest are poor students. Noble children like Du He and Fang Yiai would never be willing to do this kind of thing!

This starts with Li Yuanying's visit to Kong Yingda after the Spring Festival. Li Yuanying fully explained what it means to go to the Palace of the Three Treasures without incident, and when he met Kong Yingda, he began to talk about his business idea.

Li Yuanying said that the library is aimed at people who look down on books. Some of them may not understand the posted notices and the rules of entering and exiting the library. Therefore, he wants to borrow some of the supervisors from the Imperial College to use them. They acted as library volunteers, preaching to the people about the usefulness of the library, and answering questions for the people, so as to avoid any chaotic scenes on the opening day.

The so-called volunteers should have the ambition to help the world and help the poor and weak!

Li Yuanying finished buckling a top hat and continued to actively lobby Kong Yingda: These supervising students are bored in the house every day and do not know how to use the knowledge they have learned. They are easy to read as nerds, and the consequences are very terrible! Therefore, he gave them an opportunity to exercise, so that they have the opportunity to get in touch with the people, and know how to transfer what they know and want to express to the people.

Kong Yingda pondered for a while, and felt that Li Yuanying made sense. He cultivated talents for the court, didn't he just want them to apply what they learned and become the mainstay of the court?

So Chang Sun Quan and others were selected as volunteers.

Li Yuanying took Sizi, Wei Shu and the others to the library early, waiting for the arrival of auspicious time to officially pull the red silk on the imperial plaque. Sizi asked nervously, "Uncle Yao, will you really let me uncover the red silk later?"

Li Yuanying said: "Yes, it is up to us to reveal it." This is actually the result of a few people rock-paper-scissors. Such an exciting opportunity directly determines who will reveal the red silk and how boring it is. Li Yuanying chooses a few people to come for a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors. cloth! In the end, lucky Sizi won!

Sizi blushed and was very happy: "So many people outside come to see our library open?"

Li Yuanying said: "Yes, when Yu Zhi and the others go out to preach, there will be more! Why, are you afraid?"

Si Zi said: "I'm not afraid!"

Li Yuanying smiled.

What Li Yuanying arranged for Yu Zhi and others to do was simple.

First, go to the various shops to post notices.

Second, preach the contents of the announcement to the people attracted to the announcement.

This announcement was written by Li Yuanying himself. Kong Yingda wanted to ghostwrite him after reading it, but Li Yuanying firmly disagreed. Li Yuanying felt that the common people could not understand what Kong Yingda wrote! He wrote it well, easy to understand!

After some hard work, someone went out to do it, so Li Yuanying took a few people around in the library and introduced books in each area. With the system, the categorization of books has become simple and clear. Each bookshelf has regulations on what books to put on, and it is easy to walk through it!

…

On this day, His Majesty Li Er and Wei Zheng had discussed their business with them, and thought that this **** younger brother would rarely do a serious thing that was worthy of support, so he decided to go to the Lao Shizi library for microservices.

Others want to check it out and agree to this proposal.

His Majesty Li Er went to the West Market with Wei Zheng and other confidant ministers with Wei Zheng and other confidants.

The two did not go far, they saw many people crowded in front of them to listen to the preaching.

Standing next to the announcement, he was responsible for preaching a supervising student of the Imperial College. His Majesty Li Er looked familiar, but Wei Zheng recognized it directly: "This is the Yu family boy, right?"

The group stopped to see how the Yu family's children dealt with the people.

This kid from the Yu family is naturally Yu Zhi. He read out the contents of the notice to the people with seriousness, to the effect that "there is a library in West Market, you can read books without spending money, everyone hurry up and have a look."

This blunt introduction made Yu Zhi, who had been reading sage books since childhood, a little bit at a loss as to how to pronounce it!

But in terms of arrogance, who can compare to Li Yuanying? Li Yuanying said that if they want to write like this, they have to read it.

Seeing that the people accepted it well and didn't burst into laughter, Yu Zhi quietly wiped his sweat, and then told everyone about the library lending rules.

Due to the limited space, only bamboo cards can be entered at a time. There are two types of bamboo cards, round and square.

The number of circular bamboo tiles is smaller, and those who get it can sit in the reading room and read and copy.

There are a lot of square bamboo rows, and you can go in to find and read books after you get the number, but there is no place to sit. Of course, it’s okay if you want to sit on the floor.

As for the book to be loaned out of the library, you need to verify your identity and verify the address. After all, you must beware of some dishonest people who take the book away without returning it. If you are late and don't get the bamboo medal, you can only wait for someone to return the bamboo medal before you go in.

An old farmer listened quietly to the whole content, holding the worn-out pole in his hands with a little excitement, and asked in mandarin with a strong dialect: "I have a son who has never been to school, but can he get in if he knows a few words? "

Yu Zhi said: "Yes, everyone can go in."

Seeing that the supervising student's face was tender, a woman couldn't help but laughed and teased, "Will the girl be fine?"

Yu Zhi replied earnestly: "Women are also fine."

There was an uproar, all felt surprised.

Yu Zhi's complexion remained unchanged, and continued to answer questions.

At first, of course, some of the volunteers felt that women should not be allowed to enter. After all, this is a place to study. What is it like to allow women to enter and exit?

As a result, Li Yuanying cursed on the spot: "Why is it that women's access is not decent? Has it affected your reading? If you are affected, it can only be said that your own will is not firm, and you should go because you are not a girl! If not It affects you, why don't you allow others to read books?" After cursing, he also drove all those who made such comments back to the Imperial College, not allowing them to become volunteers anymore.

Therefore, the rest of the people are honestly preaching to the people in accordance with Li Yuanying's requirements.

At first, Yu Zhi and the others felt that it would be good to send some small officials to do this kind of thing, and they shouldn't be involved at all. But after several rounds of speaking, more and more people gathered in front of the announcement, and everyone rushed to ask what they didn't understand. Their faces are black, thin or hungry, their hands are mostly calluses, their accents are different, and they speak a strange Mandarin that is extremely awkward.

However, when they knew that the library could still provide a lot of used paper for copying by people who could not afford it, their eyes burst into flames. Originally, their sons and grandsons could not afford to read books. If there was such a place, their sons could study—I heard that there were books on mathematics, law, calligraphy, and Nongsang, even if they could not pass the imperial examination. , Can also learn some skills to be a Mr. Accountant or Mr. Writing.

Anyone can see the urgency and eagerness of these people.

Facing those brighter and brighter eyes, Yu Zhi felt for the first time how many things he was accustomed to were so elusive for the people in front of them. Their desires, their needs, are clearly laid out in front of them!

Yu Zhi was not tired anymore, even if his words were dry, he still patiently answered one question after another.

His Majesty Li Er and his party watched for a while, and their hearts were quite moved, and Changsun Wuji and the others boasted: "This child looks pretty good."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "That's natural. The supervising students of the Imperial College are all the pillars of the country in the future."

After a few people walked to the West Market, they turned a corner and saw that the street was crowded with people!

This library does not require money on the one hand, and on the other hand it is fresh. Naturally, many people came to hear the news after the preaching began.

His Majesty Li Er had nothing to do in the face of such a crowded posture, so they could only stand outside and sigh.

After a while, Changsun Wuji saw Kong Yingda who was also squeezed out of the crowd with sharp eyes.

The monarchs and officials looked at each other, and they all felt that this battle was a bit exaggerated. It should be because Li Yuanying had assigned several groups of supervising students to post notices and preach along the street.

What's annoying is that the **** made this kind of battle, and he didn't even think about inviting them to see!

His Majesty Li Er was out, Kong Ying did not call "Your Majesty", and only silently went forward to meet Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er laughed and joked: "Mr. Kong was demolished by the river."

Among the people present, it must be Kong Yingda who contributed the most. It must be Kong Yingda. He asked the supervising student to copy the book, and he let the supervising student go to the preaching. Li Yuanying, who was not satisfied, would "return the goods" without saying that the library opened. Do not invite him to the ceremony this day!

Kong Yingda twitched, and replied, "I didn't point to him and would invite me."

It would be nice if that kid didn't jump his feet with anger. Who would expect him to understand the worldliness and respect the teacher!

Clang, clang, clang—

The sound of a gong interrupted the remarks of the monarch and the minister.

Good time!

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: Volunteers, have the ambition to help the world and help the poor and weak!

Little Prince: Come to work, no money.
