"In addition to military books, medical books and books involving craftsmanship are also difficult to find in bookstores. Most of them are handed down from person to person." Qi Haoran sighed and said, "Why can a family be a family? It's not because he has a lot of money. It's because he has a lot of books, and if there are more books, there will be more inheritance, and with knowledge, they will never fall into a slump, even if they fall, it is only temporary, and they will learn the skills to make a comeback."

"This is the monopoly of knowledge," Mu Yangling asked, holding his arm. "Then what kind of books does our family have?"

Qi Haoran glanced at her, and said: "Didn't you glance at all the books in our study room? Do you know what books are there? Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, the most common ones are military books, miscellaneous talks and agricultural books."

"What about the palace?"

Qi Haoran showed a smile, "There are quite a lot of books in the palace. At that time, the capital was not too chaotic, so the books in the palace library were preserved, but the collection of books is still not as good as those of those aristocratic families."

There are three library buildings in the palace, each with two floors. Mu Yangling couldn't help but click his tongue, "There are so many books in the family, no wonder the family is respected. For this alone, those scholars are willing to be driven by the family."

Qi Haoran nodded, "Emperor Sejong of the previous dynasty knew this, so he had the audacity to ask the aristocratic family to take out the collection of books for the Royal Bookstore to publish. He wanted to build a royal library and open it to scholars all over the world. It's a pity that the project just started , the war broke out in the north again, and when Emperor Sejong came back to pacify the north, he became seriously ill within two years. At that time, the collection was only half printed. Seeing this, the aristocratic families took back the collection one after another. No matter how much the Royal Bookstore begged, they refused to take it again. When the book was published, Emperor Gaozong, who was the prince at the time, sympathized with the aristocratic family, so he decided to stop the publication. It is said that Emperor Sejong was so angry that he vomited blood and died within two days.

"Gaozong was close to the family, and after he came to the throne, he directly canceled the project of the royal library because the national treasury was empty, and collected the printed books into the library of the palace.

"When Emperor Jingyan fled south, he only took part of his collection with him, and the rest were either destroyed by the flames of war, divided up by his family or robbed by the big gold, so don't look at the current library of the palace. Less than one-third of what it was under Emperor Sejong."

Qi Haoran just doesn't like reading, so he sighed when he mentioned this matter. He knows that culture is the inheritance, and books are the carrier of culture. The books inherited by Da Qi are too few, and the background is too low.

"How do you know these things?"

"Zijin told me about it," Qi Haoran folded his hands behind his head, lay on the bed, crossed his legs and said, "He wanted to find some rare books, but he couldn't find them after searching for a long time. He doesn't believe in evil. I ran to look through the bibliography of Emperor Sejong. After all, it is not a secret that Emperor Sejong asked for books to be published when he came to the family for the third time. Every scholar knows that he does not believe that there are only so few books in the library. When he came out, five big boxes had to be used to store the bibliographical books, and the existing books were less than half of the original ones. After reading the secret history at that time, he almost ran to the tomb of Emperor Gaozong to yell at him. When he complained to the master Father naturally knows."

Fan Zijin is not a good person, but he is a scholar, and he is also a scholar who loves books. How can he not be angry when he sees a good royal library being tossed by Gao Zong with a single sentence?

"Actually, elder brother can accomplish what Emperor Sejong failed to accomplish." Mu Yangling felt that Sejong, a time traveler, is still very powerful. If he could live a few more years, maybe Da Zhou would not be what he is now, but she was very curious. As a time traveler, how on earth did he raise his son so high that he opposed him in everything?

"Not now," Qi Haoran said, "Nowadays the people's livelihood and the frontier are the key. Let alone the cost of publishing and printing books, it is very difficult to communicate with the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family is not obliged to contribute the collection of books. Emperor Sejong can succeed. But don't be so shameless, almost begging the family, and ceding a lot of benefits, half begging and half forcing people to take out the book. First, I don't want the emperor to suffer this humiliation. Second, the family is better than before. They are already much weaker, and if they press each other again, I am afraid that there will be chaos, so this matter cannot be done." At least not within ten years.

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "I didn't ask my eldest brother to ask for books from the family. It is enough for us to print the books of our own family and the palace. After finishing this part, we will call on everyone to donate books. How many books does the family have?" , but there are also a lot of books in the royal family. In the early days, these books alone were more than enough. Even Zijin, how many books did he read in the library? Then we began to accept book donations. Those aristocratic families might not want to take out the books. But there are many ministers in the court and scholars all over the world, so don’t they all want to contribute to the country? At that time, there will be no difference between whether the family donates or not.”

Qi Haoran was puzzled at first, then his eyes lit up, and he sat up, "That's right, we won't beg them, a soft knife will grind them to death."

The aristocratic family is unwilling to share the books because they want to monopolize knowledge. No matter what system the court uses to select officials, they will always have the upper hand.

Because they have monopolized rich educational resources, which cannot be achieved by other common people or even farming and studying families.

But if the Royal Library is open to people all over the world, allowing people to borrow and copy, then their advantage will be weakened. Even if the books of the Royal Library are not as good as those of the aristocratic family, it is already enough for the imperial examination officials. It is enough, and for technical talents, the books in the library can also let them get started or even go a step further, which is better than ignorant groping.

And systematic education has the benefits of systematic education, and wild ones also have the advantages of wild ones. Who can be sure that the wild ones will not soar to the sky and surpass the domesticated ones?

The most important thing is that their base is far greater than the number of aristocratic families.

What they are facing is the common people of the whole world, but the family is only for the people of their family, and even the people of their family may not be able to enter the library of the family to borrow.

The aristocratic family is not an iron bucket, Mu Yangling said that they can be divided from now on.

The husband and wife talked more and more vigorously. Both of them were imaginative figures, and they were private conversations between husband and wife. It only took a while for the two of them to lean head to head to look forward to the majestic and majestic Royal Library. All the subjects belonged, and the aristocratic families were defeated one after another.

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "This is the bloodless war. Emperor Sejong was too anxious back then."

"Don't worry, he's about to die. You see, once he dies, all his previous efforts will be in vain."

"So people's lifespan is limited, and the education of future generations is extremely important. Otherwise, no matter how hard we ancestors are, the achievements we have made will be in vain." Mu Yangling sighed. The efforts made by Emperor Sejong for more than 20 years were ruined. If Emperor Sejong had not left a strong family background, Da Zhou would have perished at that time. So in truth, this is an unprecedented cheating character. "

Qi Haoran pondered, "Are we being too lenient to our sons?"

Mu Yangling was also pondering, and leaned on him and said, "Why don't you be stricter from tomorrow?"

"Is it still too late?" Qi Haoran hesitated, "Didn't you say that you are old at the age of three? Now the three children are all over the age of three."

Mu Yangling said firmly: "Then be upright."

As a result, a good wife-teaching class was abruptly broken by the couple into a discussion about teaching their children.
