"It's really after the Kong family!" the onlookers exclaimed when they saw the huge Kong Family logo outside the shop.
"Could it be that the Confucius family runs a bookstore? It is said that the Confucius family swept through the major Booksellers in Chang'an city a few days ago and bought no less than tens of thousands of books." a merchant remembered the strange behavior of the Confucius family spread in Chang'an city a few days ago and finally got an explanation today.
"It's ridiculous to do business after Kong Sheng. Isn't the preferential treatment given to the Kong family by the imperial court enough? The Kong family is still so greedy for money!" a Confucian student angrily scolded.
All dynasties have treated the Confucius family with great preferential treatment. Among them, the owners of the Confucius family in all dynasties will be granted the title of Lord Yansheng, which will be handed down from generation to generation. At the same time, the court will give a lot of land to support the Confucius family. After that, the Confucius family will naturally be interested and willing to be a mud Bodhisattva, strive to maintain the reputation of the Confucius and become a symbol of Confucianism.
"The Confucius family's reputation has been cleared for thousands of years, and I'm afraid it will be destroyed today." a scribe looked up to the sky and sighed with pain.
With more and more people, many people pointed and sneered at Kong Desheng. Seeing all this, Zheng Chang couldn't help showing a trace of pride.
Kong Desheng was expressionless, still determined to go his own way, waiting for the arrival of auspicious time.
"The auspicious hour has come!" shouted a member of the Kong family as the sun rose.
Kong Desheng couldn't help laughing at the crowded citizens who surrounded the store. Zheng children thought that this plan could embarrass the Kong family, but they didn't know that the more people he invited, the more they humiliated themselves. Finally, they only made wedding clothes for the Kong family.
"Thank you for coming. Kong is very grateful." Kong Desheng bowed his hands around and waved his hand, ready to unveil the plaque row of the store.
"Wait a minute!" suddenly Zheng Kuang shouted, reaching out to stop the Kong family from unveiling.
"Master, you should think about it. This is the reputation of the Kong family for thousands of years. If this plaque is unveiled today, there will be no room for turning back. I have no talent and admire the name of Kong Saint all my life. I really can't bear to have the name of Kong Saint tarnished." Zheng open said with a high moral integrity.
"However, Confucius is our supreme master. Although Confucius is a descendant of the Confucius family, we should not wantonly damage the reputation of the Supreme Master." Confucian scholars were filled with righteous indignation.
"If Master Kong could have known his way back, we would have regarded it as never happened and let bygones be bygones!" Zheng Chang said proudly when he saw the excitement of the crowd.
Kong Desheng sneered: "no one is more obliged to maintain the reputation of our ancestors than the descendants of the Kong family. I don't need you to teach me. I'm the only one who will bear all the consequences."
At that moment, Kong Desheng waved his hand, and the red silk fell, revealing three big characters - library!
"Library!"
"The Kong family really did not start a bookseller business again."
The crowd was in an uproar. They had an answer to their previous actions combined with the Kong family, but the scene in front of them confirmed their guess.
"The Kong family is seeking their own death!" Zheng Changleng snorted. He didn't care if the Kong family wanted to die. Just now he was resolute in his righteousness to dissuade Kong Desheng. If it came out in the future, it would be a good name.
Kong Desheng Lang said, "there are thousands of books carefully collected by the Kong family in this library, including all the books that can be bought in Chang'an city."
People suddenly realized why the Kong family bought books in Chang'an city a few days ago.
"In addition, the thousands of books collected by the Kong family for thousands of years are also open to Chang'an students." Kong Desheng broke another piece of news.
"Tens of thousands of books in the Kong family!"
All the onlookers were in an uproar, especially some Confucian scholars. You know, the books collected by the Kong family for thousands of years are even unique treasures, which can be rarely seen by ordinary people!
"The Confucius family is willing to take out such a precious single book. If it is accidentally damaged, I'm afraid the gain is not worth the loss!" the people said one after another. As book lovers, they naturally know how precious the single book treasures are.
"Of course, these are rubbings," Kong Desheng said to the crowd.
"I see." people suddenly realized that even the rubbings were extremely rare.
"Don't mention Kong Yingda. Even if the Kongs in Qufu spent all their money, I'm afraid it would be difficult to print tens of thousands of books." Zheng Chang disagreed and snorted coldly.
However, next, Kong Desheng's words made him instantly face up and say, "now time is pressing. The Confucius house has just printed nearly 100 rare copies of the Han Dynasty for you to borrow. But you can rest assured that within half a year, the Confucius family will publish all 10000 books in their collection, so that people all over the world can see them."
"A hundred rare copies of the Han Dynasty!" the onlookers couldn't help breathing, and some book lovers couldn't wait.
Kong Desheng couldn't help smiling. He had to say that movable type printing was indeed terrible. In addition, the Kong Family specially selected books with a small number of words to print. Less than the new year's day, nearly 100 books were printed under the rush of work overnight. Of course, the small number of each book was also one of the reasons.
"Since it's the business of the Confucius family, our younger generation should strongly support it, and Xiaosheng is also a book lover. He admires his predecessors' masterpiece. I don't know how to sell this rare book of the Han Dynasty." Zheng Chang deliberately said.
Kong Desheng said proudly, "Zheng's children, you underestimate the Kong family. The Kong family doesn't sell books, only borrow them, and don't charge any money."
"Borrow books!"
"No money!"
The onlookers were stunned.
"That's right! Anyone who studies all over the world can come to the library to borrow three copies. The duration of each borrowing is one month. You only need to return them when they are due. If you don't finish reading them, you can renew them for another half a month for free without charging a penny!" Kong Desheng Lang said.
"Three books for free for a month and a half!"
There was an uproar among the scholars and scholars around. Everyone in the world said that they traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books. However, many people traveled thousands of miles in the world, but not many people read thousands of books. The reason is that it is not easy to borrow or buy so many books. Now the library opened by the Confucius family makes it easy for people all over the world to achieve this goal, And it can be achieved without spending a penny.
"The Kong family is worthy of being the queen of Kong Sheng. Today's move must go down in history! Xiaosheng apologized to elder Kong." a scribe solemnly bowed down to Kong Desheng.
"Offend!" many scholars are even more ashamed. Before, they also scolded Kong Desheng for doing business and tarnishing Kong Sheng's reputation. However, the library does not need a penny to open to the world. Even Kong Sheng's resurrection will praise him.
"What's wrong with you defending the name of your ancestors? Kong is very grateful. It's too late for the Kong family to open a library today. To inherit the legacy of their ancestors, teach without discrimination, and make books readable for all people who want to learn. Today, the library is opened and you can choose the books in the library." Kong Desheng hugged the people and let the door open.
"Good!"
In an instant, people who could not wait poured into the library and couldn't wait to choose the books they wanted to buy, but they were always reluctant to start. A month and a half was enough for them to read through the books.
As people poured into the library, Zheng Chang was left standing there blankly. In addition to good education, another important reason why the children of the aristocratic family are excellent is that the family has a large collection of books, which is far better than the children of the poor in both knowledge and knowledge. This is the only magic weapon for the children of the aristocratic family to maintain their advantages. However, the Confucius family opened a library, It can enable the children of poor families to read countless books without spending money, and even surpass the children of aristocratic families in number.
If the previous promotion primary school trained children, it would take more than ten years for these children to grow up. In this way, it would still leave more than ten years of time buffer for the aristocratic family. The establishment of the library will directly give the aristocratic family a drastic draw. Instead of waiting for the children to grow up slowly, it can directly increase the knowledge of the children of poor families in the world and even surpass the children of aristocratic families, Let the children of the aristocratic family face the challenge of the poor children immediately.
"Young master, it's not good!" at the moment, Zheng Bo hurried forward and handed Zheng gondola a a Confucian journal, his face coagulated.
Zheng Chang took a look and saw that there were three poems in the poetry column of the Confucian journal.
"There is a golden house in the book, and there is a beautiful face in the book......"
"....... when persuading you to cherish your youth."
"Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth!"
Zheng Chang recited silently in his heart, but in his ears, there were respectful chanting voices in the library. Obviously, this poem was also posted in the library. Such inspirational persuasive poems, coupled with a library that can read 10000 volumes of books without spending a penny, he can imagine that the whole Chang'an city must set off a frenzied school fever. If he was not a child of an aristocratic family, I'm afraid I can't stop until I rush into the library to borrow several books.
The last time the Confucius family reformed the primary school, the aristocratic family plotted against the master and students, which was able to stop it. However, this time the Confucius family opened a library, but Wuwang and Qixing could only stare and do nothing. After all, they could still control the legs of poor children.
"Young master, look at the signature of the poem!" Zheng Bo reminded.
Zheng Chang didn't look at it either. He clenched his teeth and said, "Mozi.
After all, the only poets in the world who can write such wonderful poems and are used to writing two and a half poems are Mohists, without semicolons.
However, this is not the worst. The Confucius family opened a library, and the Mohists wrote persuasive poems, which were published in Confucian journals. The information conveyed by this had to make Zheng Chang aware of a worse situation.
That is, under the strong pressure of five surnames and seven hopes, Confucianism and Mohism began to work together.
