Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"So much money!"

Watching Huang Chengcheng's copper coins being pocketed and taken away by peasant scholars.

The surrounding scholars and ordinary people couldn't help but shine.

Especially those scholars who came to present their books couldn't wait to squeeze forward!
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't squeeze, come one by one, as long as it is a collection of books, we will accept them! We will give cash rewards!"

The entourage and guard soldiers beside them also hurriedly moved to maintain order!

Soon, officials from the Ministry of Rites reported the collection of books to Ying Zigao.

"It seems that scholars of various sects are very enthusiastic about contributing books!"

Ying Zigao nodded in satisfaction when he heard the report.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Minister of Rites said hurriedly, "In less than an hour, more than 4000 books of various kinds have been received!"

"What kinds of books are they?" Ying Zigao continued to ask.

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "Agronomy, medicine, divination and divination, herding livestock, domestication of war horses, and the works of Mohism and Taoism. The content is so complex that it can be said to be varied!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly asked, "Then how did you collect it?"

"Following His Majesty's instructions, I will collect all kinds of books."

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said seriously: "Agronomy, medicine, herding livestock, domestication of war horses, art of war, law, engineering, astronomy and calendar calculations are the key collections!

The bounties issued are also tilted towards these aspects! "

"well done!"

Ying Zigao nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to review these works and collections carefully?"

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly asked seriously: "Especially the works of Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, and Yin-Yang School, there are many sensitive and forbidden things..."

"Necessary review is still required, but there is no need to be too nervous or too strict!"

Ying Zigao thought about it carefully and said seriously: "As long as it's not an obvious insinuation to satirize the government, belittling my great Qin kings, there is no need to delete it.

Even if there is such content in it, delete it if you can, and try not to ban it! "

"I understand!" The Minister of Rites Zuo Shilang hastily agreed.

Soon, the news that the library was using real money to collect books from all over the world spread throughout Xianyang City, the Guanzhong area, and even the entire Great Qin Dynasty.

Scholars from all counties and schools are scrambling to bring out their treasured books to contribute.

Looking at the growing collection of books.The Minister of Rites couldn't help feeling a little anxious.He hurriedly found Ying Zigao, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are so many books in the world, the contents are complicated, and the number is even greater!
If the collection continues like this, the library will soon be unable to put it down! "

"Then take out my other courtyard outside Xianyang City as a branch of the library!"

Ying Zigao said without hesitation!

"Your Majesty, that is your royal residence!"

The Minister of Rites said hurriedly.

"I can't go to the royal courtyard more than a few times a year."

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "Instead of just leaving it idle, it's better to take it out and use it!"

Unexpectedly, Ying Zigao attached so much importance to book collection and cultural undertakings.He actually took out another royal courtyard of his own as a library.

The Minister of Rites couldn't help feeling hot in his heart!
Meeting an emperor who attaches so much importance to culture, education and cultural undertakings, he finally has the opportunity to display his lifelong ambitions!

"Your Majesty, building a library is not just about having a place."

Thinking of this, the Minister of Rites boldly said: "There must be special personnel responsible for management, maintenance, and timely repairs. The cost is not a small number!"

"I know." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "So I plan to use half of the income from the glassware every year for the library!"

"So much money!" Hearing these words, Minister of Rites couldn't help but his heart trembled.

He clearly knows that the government-run glass workshop can earn at least 20 yuan a year!

Even if it's half of the income, that's [-] yuan!

This amount of money is more than enough to support the operation of the library!

"And these books are all written on bamboo slips!"

Ying Zigao continued: "Not only is it bulky, but it also takes up a lot of space! It's also hard to store!
I decided to send people to copy these books on paper and bind them into volumes!For better storage! "

"Your Majesty is wise..." Minister of Rites said excitedly!

"It's just your Majesty, it's not easy to copy so many books."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites thought about it carefully, and said with some concern: "Not only must a large number of scholars be recruited to be responsible for copying, but it will also take a long time!
There is nothing that cannot be accomplished after decades of effort.The cost of this is not small..."

"Then recruit more scholars!" Ying Zigao said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, the number of scholars in the world is very limited!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said seriously: "Except for the officials who serve in the court, most of the others are teachers of the academy's rural studies!

Other scholars are either aloof and unwilling to come out to do things, or they cannot come out to do things for various reasons! "

After saying this, the Minister of Rites looked at Ying Zigao with a troubled expression on his face.

Said: "Your Majesty, the scribes Li Bu is currently recruiting are already busy copying the textbooks of rural studies and academies, and copying various government documents from the imperial court and the government. Collected books!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly frowned.

Unexpectedly, the number of scholars in Daqin has become so small.

Even recruiting a few more scholars to transcribe the collection made the dignified Minister of Rites feel embarrassed.

It seems that we really have to step up efforts to establish education and work hard to cultivate talents.

However, Ying Zigao has a lot of ways to solve the problem of transcribing the collection of books and textbooks ** documents!

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao said loudly to the Minister of Rites: "Ai Qing doesn't need to worry about this matter, I have my own way!"

"Your Majesty, I have the guts to ask what can be done?"

The Minister of Rites hurriedly asked seriously.

"The specific method, you will know in a few days!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "As long as you know, in a few days, I will have a way to make the collection of textbooks and government documents not to be copied by people!"

"Don't need someone to copy it?" The Minister of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what is the method? It's so miraculous?"

"I told you, you'll understand when the time comes!"

Ying Zigao looked at the curious expression on the Minister of Rites's face, and couldn't help feeling secretly proud, and said with a knowing smile: "At that time, I'm afraid that Aiqing will have to find a way to arrange those scribes in the Ministry of Rites!"
