Since Nanjing wants to build the champion library, Beijing should also build one, and one cannot favor one over the other. Besides, there are several champions in the Hanlin Academy. When the new Beijing building opens, they can join them to cut the ribbon, fill in the soil, and borrow the fame of these big men who are about to go down in history.
Cui Xie asked the accountants in the outer court to prepare a budget, and in addition to the money to be used in the south, another part was allocated to build the Zhuangyuan Hall. There are no rare and rare books in the library, and only reference books that can be used for scientific examinations are put in. There are several sets of each book, and then a few carts of cheap leather paper at the village price are pulled from the hometown for free copying.
He had the experience of building a museum in Qian'an, and now he is doing it the same way: first, he rented an open yard with five entrances in a remote part of Nanguan, and asked craftsmen to build several small second floors. It is a reading room, and readers can read and copy books on the lower floor when they find the books they want; the reverse room at the outermost part of the yard has been converted into an office center, and those who enter the library for the first time can apply for a deposit here; when they enter the courtyard, there is a wing room for Ju Anzhai. If you open a branch, it is not enough to watch it in the museum. If you want to buy a book, you can go in and choose.
Since this library has to be built in a remote place, I am afraid that there are not many people selling things around. It has to build a yard to build a water room, a canteen, a canteen, and recruit some people...
No, no, no! Can't do it at home!
He is now a disciple of the emperor with two yuan in the middle school. He was written from the sixth grade in the Hanlin Academy, the top in Qingliu, and a philanthropist who donated to build a library. The cafeteria simply built several large steaming boxes for students to cook meals without selling food, and then recruited a few honest shopkeepers to open a small shop in the courtyard, selling cold meat and vegetarian food, rice steamed buns, and stationery for copying books. Kind of, tell the librarians to stare at them and not allow them to slaughter customers.
Cui Xie finished the plan carefully, counted the librarians he needed, and deeply felt that he was not wearing it for nothing this time—this is how many jobs have been created for his colleagues! It also boosted GDP for the Ming Dynasty!
He excitedly ordered people to rent the yard and prepare books, and went to the carpenter to build trapezoidal bookcases, book collection boxes, long tables and benches, trunks and hat racks, and selected diligent small businessmen to set up shop in the library.
Don't just do these preparations.
To build a library for so many people to study in it, it is not something that can be done by paying a little money, and it must be reported to the local government. When he built the library in Qian'an, he received strong support from the magistrate of Qi County and built a public library. Now, if he wants to build the library, he has to report it to the officials in Shuntian and Yingtian. It is best to find a few court officials. Big back up.
Cui Xie knew a lot of bigwigs, but his identity was too low, and others didn't necessarily need to take care of him, so it would be more reassuring to ask the teacher to help. After he made a plan and budget for the building of the museum, he took it to the Xueshi Mansion and asked his mentor Li Xueshi to review the plan.
Li Dongyang's eyes lit up, shaking his plan and asking him, "This Zhuangyuan Library is the same as the library you built in Qian'an. It can be used by poor students and ordinary people to read books at will?"
Cui Xie nodded, bent slightly and replied, "It's not exactly the same as the Qian'an one. It was built by the county magistrate Qi, and it's a county property. I just donated a yard, but this time I plan to build it by myself and want the crown. The name of the champion hall."
Mr. Li looked at the budget of thousands of taels of silver and asked, "It costs a lot to build this museum in two capitals. Do you have enough money? If there is not enough money, I will help you find someone to ask for money, teacher There are also a few relatives and friends who are quite wealthy, and there is no need to be polite to them for such things that benefit scholars all over the world.”
The teacher has been filial piety at home for a year, but he has become more and more like a Taiwanese boss...
Cui Xie sighed inwardly and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to invest money to build the museum, so I named it the Zhuangyuan Pavilion. Asking the seniors of the Hanlin Academy to inscribe the foundation is considered a good idea for those who enter. Asking everyone to donate money to set up a museum is not suitable for the title of champion, so why don't you just ask the gentleman to give me an elegant name?"
Li Dongyang said with a smile: "What to change the name, just erect a stone tablet in the courtyard to record the beginning and end of our building, and add their name to the tablet! I don't think the name of the Zhuangyuan Pavilion is enough for you as the founder of the museum. Why don't you call it the Liangyuan Hall, and ask Xu Xueshi to write a plaque for you to hang it. You know how to take the two yuan test and the palace test, and hang it on the plaque for the junior scholars to see, wouldn't it be more motivating for them to study and improve?"
don't want! Two yuan is absolutely not good, it sounds like the two yuan store in front of the school, it's too embarrassing!
Cui Xie shook his head hurriedly and coughed a few times before he said, "Since the teacher doesn't have a name, it's better to call it the Zhuangyuan Hall. Just build one in each of the northern and southern capitals - there are Guozijian in the two capitals, with the most scholars, so it is convenient for the two capitals first. When the students read the book, I am afraid that other people will see it well and imitate it."
After all, Qian'an is a remote county. Even if a large library is built, it will not have a demonstration effect in the entire Daming. The two capitals are different. Court officials and scholars from both the north and the south gather here. Once the benefits of the library are revealed, some people may follow to build it, or even the imperial court funded the construction of the library, giving more people the opportunity to read and write.
Then there should be some practical books such as "The Complete Works of the Household", "Kao Gong Ji", and "Qi Min Yao Shu" in the museum. If the people can cultivate and breed according to the agricultural books, it may also increase the grain production...
Cui Xie pondered silently, but Li Dongyang didn't rush him, and waited for him to recover before saying, "I'll keep your document, I'll go back and write a few letters for you to ask for money. When will your champion hall be built? Take Zhao Xian’er in to have a look. He had given his filial piety at the end of last year, but he was confined in the house for my sake, so I’m afraid he would be very lonely.”
Cui Xie glanced at his younger brother's courtyard and responded, "If my younger brother is not busy with studies, he can also come to live at my house. I see two younger brothers and two disciples in my house. In addition to reading, they usually run and practice martial arts sooner or later. Zhao Xian Junior and brother practice with them, it's good for the body."
Teacher Li smiled and said, "You are still so attentive. But this year has been changed to the first year of Yuan Hongzhi, and the record is about to be completed. You must have no time to take care of so many children, so I won't ask him to disturb you. After more than a year, his body has improved a lot, and I also took him to practice your breathing exercises, not to mention his child's family, even I feel much healthier."
When Cui Xie heard the word "record", he couldn't help thinking of the overwhelming daily records and edicts, edicts, pardons, regulations, records, decrees, books, orders, chapters, tables, discussions, sparse, and seals that he had found before the seal. , playing, saying, remembering... I couldn't help shivering slightly, rubbed my forehead and sighed: "Then the library disciples are all entrusted to their mentor. Now that there are only a few days left for the Lantern Festival, I will go back and arrange for my family to go to Jiangnan. thing."
Although there is a ten-day long holiday before and after the Lantern Festival, if you don't spend it carefully and frugally, it will pass like flowing water. Cui Xie realized that there would be no good days after going to work, so he seized the last time of this long Lantern Festival, and invited Mrs. Xie Jinyiwei to walk around the sickness at night, watch Baixi juggling, the newly released pirated Jinyiwei drama, and burn incense at major Buddhist temples to make a wish. Eat vegetarian food.
On the 21st of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival ended, he finally managed to live up to the 15-day holiday of the two New Years holidays, and returned to the Hanlin Academy with wonderful memories.
After returning, it is time to start repairing the daily life note.
Not only the officials of the Hanlin Academy, but also the students of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy who were serving as students and lecturers, and several North Academy bachelors who were on leave due to illness or who were at home in Ding You also received orders to return to Beijing. In February, the new emperor issued an edict to seize the love, asking Li Dongyang to resume his post as an editorial officer, but Li Dongyang refused to go, but went to the Shu and begged for the service and then returned.
The Son of Heaven was sympathetic to his father's death, and did not persecute him.
Li Dongyang expressed his gratitude to Tianen, and continued to keep his filial piety behind closed doors, but occasionally called Cui Xie over to the house to ask his disciples the progress of cultivating the record and teach him how to add or delete words.
Cui Xie has a hard drive in hand, and the words he has read can be converted into TXT in his brain. When writing historical materials, it is like opening a book, and the words are precise. When he goes back to read it to his husband, there is no mistake. Li Dongyang closed his eyes and listened to the words he wrote, occasionally changing some of his words that were not clear enough, but he couldn't find any faults in the historical data, and praised him a few times.
It is this kind of prudence that is required to cultivate history, and it is also necessary to be an official with this kind of prudence. Only by being conscientious and walking on thin ice can we understand the handling of government affairs, undertake national affairs, and make great use of it in the future.
Afraid of exaggerating his arrogance to his disciple, Li Dongyang didn't say much, so he just patted him on the shoulder hard, telling him to understand the importance of his teacher's expectations.
You can't boast too much in front of your disciples, and you don't have to be too restrained behind your back. Not only did he show off with his fellow apprentices, friends of the same year, and friends that he was a good apprentice who was well-remembered, well-versed in historiography, and whose writings were profound, he also asked someone to send a letter to his father-in-law, Prince Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi, who was guarding in Nanjing, and asked him to take care of the Cui family. The construction of a library in Nanjing.
Zhu Guogong is also a well-known and talented person, otherwise he would not have married his daughter to a poor bachelor like Li Dongyang. For so many years, my son-in-law has never asked him for money, but this time I wrote a letter to him specifically, but asked him to donate money to build this kind of library... At least for decades, Zhu Guogong slapped the table with joy after reading the letter. .
"Binzhi, ah, Bingzhi, as expected of my son-in-law Zhu! He really remembers me in his heart!"
Cheng Guogong laughed three times, and hurriedly called someone to collect the money, and called his son to come over: "Your nephew, my nephew and grandson of the champion will send someone to build a library in Nanjing for poor scholars to read for nothing. You are your uncle in this matter. You have to keep an eye on him! You first find a good mansion for him, and wait for your champion nephew to come... "
The prince Zhu Fu looked at his father helplessly, and retorted in a low voice: "My surname is Cui, how can I become our nephew... My father's relative is a bit far away, and we can't recognize others even if we recognize him. Which of Zhaotong's brothers won the champion, that's my champion nephew..."
What is non-recognition, master and apprentice are just like father and son!
His father just pretended he hadn't heard the words of disappointment, and told the accountant to quickly allocate money to buy land, buy a big house in a good place in the city, and prepare a whole piece of white marble, so that he could wait for his son-in-law or Cui Zhuangyuan's article to come and ask the craftsman to carve it. "Building the Monument of the Nanjing Zhuangyuan Library", and then engraved with Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo...
Forget it, by the way, let's also add the few children and grandchildren in the family who are not good at home.
