Chapter 424

December 10, Xiangyang City.

The center of the city, College Street.

This street is a separate street outside the lumen Academy.

On this day, a carriage slowly went to the lumen Academy.

After unremitting efforts, lumen Academy was completed yesterday. Today, we will really worship heaven and earth, and then formally recruit students. The inauguration ceremony of lumen academy naturally invited countless people to watch the ceremony.

So much so that the College Street is overcrowded.

The people holding the invitation cards entered the college one after another, and then led by the soldiers, they went to the place of sacrifice.

The place of sacrifice is a Confucian temple in the college.

In the temple, Confucius is not the only one, but the representatives of Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Han Feizi, Sun Tzu and so on.

Outside the Confucian temple stands a big tripod.

On the cauldron, the incense mist makes the Confucian temple more holy.

The heads of Jingzhou's major families, as well as Jingzhou's dignitaries, have already stood in the courtyard according to their respective seats.

Liu Xiu sat in the center of the first row and waited quietly.

"Good time

At the end of the morning, suddenly, outside the Confucian temple, an old man's loud voice came to mind.

This old man is Sima Hui. He is the master of ceremonies who worships heaven and earth today.

With Sima Hui's cry, Pang Degong stood up with a black robe and a serious face. He went to the front of the tripod and stood with his head high, looking forward and excited.

"Sacrifice to heaven!"

Sima Hui's voice echoed in the Confucian temple.

His voice deliberately makes a loud and sincere state, which makes people feel magnanimous after hearing it.

I saw the servant carrying the prepared sacrifice, placed in front of the tripod.

Pound took the wine bottle to heaven, then turned his hand to pour the wine on the ground, bowed respectfully, and then stood up again.

"Worship the earth!"

Sima Hui has already been familiar with the process, shouting again.

Pound turned around, turned his back to the cauldron, knelt down and kowtowed. Then he stood up and turned to the cauldron again.

"To the sages!"

As a master of ceremonies, Sima Hui looks solemn, but now he shouts these words, and there is a trace of excitement in his eyes. The establishment of lumen academy is definitely a good news for scholars all over the world.

Pang Degong took the incense, which was three feet long and had already been lit, from the servant. He gave a meticulous salute, then put the three incense in the cauldron, and then returned to his position.

"Li Cheng!"

Sima Hui gave a high congratulation, with a smile on his face.

Mr. pound turned to look at the people who had been watching the ceremony. He said in a loud voice, "gentlemen, I have already given a banquet in the reception hall of the Academy. Please come with me."

The crowd separated, and pound took the lead and went to the meeting room. Liu Xiu, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and other important officials followed, followed by the other major family owners.

The reception hall is the special reception place of lumen college.

This hall, specially designed by Liu Xiu, is broad and easy to accommodate more than 100 people.

The guests and guests were seated, and Mr. pound was sitting high above.

Liu Xiu took the first seat on the left, and the rest took their seats in turn.

Pound said: "Zhugong, lumen academy has been built. Thank you for coming here today. I'm here to thank you instead of lumen Academy."

"Pang Gong is very kind. The establishment of lumen academy is of great significance to Jingzhou. It's a matter for the benefit of scholars all over the world, and Pang Gong's painstaking efforts should be due to his hard work. "

Ma Qi zhengse said: "Pang Gong is the lumen academy and the heart of scholars all over the world. We admire him."

All of them praised pound.

Everyone knows that Liu Xiu is behind the scenes when lumen academy is built. Moreover, Liu Xiu intends to rely on lumen academy to cultivate his own talents. This is an irresistible trend, and no one dares to stop it.

Pound said justly: "I've been praised by you. I just did what I should do. I don't care."

There was another round of praise, all of which was praise.

At this time, Huang Chengyan took the initiative to speak and said with a smile: "the establishment of lumen academy is a great event that benefits the country and the future. The Huang family should celebrate such a prosperous age. He donated a thousand books to the huanglumen Academy. "

WOW!

In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall.

A thousand books!

That's not a small number.

At this time, the paper is expensive, and most of the books are not paper, but bamboo slips. However, the number of words carried by bamboo slips is limited after all, and it also occupies too much land. A thousand books. That's a huge amount.

A thousand books is undoubtedly a big deal.

Everyone looked at Huang Chengyan and admired him for his courage.Mr. pound said with a smile, "thank you very much. Lumen academy will remember the kindness of Mr. Huang."

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "Pang Gong, the establishment of lumen academy is a great joy. The Kuai family donated 1000 books to the lumen school

The Huang family and the Kuai family are the same family, naturally they are the same family.

The two families donated 2000 books.

Pound said: "the kindness of the Kuai family is remembered by lumen Academy." At this time, Kuai Liang was not engaged in Jingzhou, but the owner of the Kuai family, who donated in the name of the Kuai family. Therefore, the name of pound was also particular.

Ma Qi said: "Pang Gong, the Ma family in Yicheng, donated 800 books."

After receiving the invitation from Pang Degong, March quickly came to Xiangyang and delivered 800 books to Xiangyang as a gift to the Ma family.

Today, Ma Liang and Ma Su, two sons of Ma Qi, are under Liu Xiu's command.

Although 800 books are valuable, the Ma family can afford them.

Pound saluted the Duke again.

Jingzhou's other major family owners also put forward their own gifts, all of them are books, or 600, or 400, or 300

More or less, they all presented their own gifts.

All the people offered their own gifts, but Liu Xiu didn't speak.

At first, Liu Xiu didn't speak, but everyone had no opinion.

However, everyone in the hall offered their own gifts, but Liu Xiu didn't open his mouth, which attracted people's attention.

What's Liu Xiu doing?

Pang Degong didn't care about Liu Xiu, because he knew about it, and he roughly estimated through the donated books just now that the donated collection has exceeded 6000, which is a considerable amount of books.

Pound said: "I'm very lucky to have the great support of my colleagues when I founded lumen Academy. Thank you very much."

When they heard this, they immediately humbled themselves.

Liu Xiulian said slowly with a smile: "teacher, before the establishment of lumen academy, I have said that we should strongly support lumen academy and give it to the prefecture's library. Today, I will live up to my old promise. "

Pang Degong was happy. He knew the situation, but asked, "how many books does Liu Jingzhou intend to donate?"

When they heard the speech, they looked at Liu Xiu in unison.

At this moment, everyone is weighing and evaluating, and they all want to know how many books Liu Xiu can donate? After all, the most donated books are the 1000 volumes of the Kuai and Huang families.

When Liu Xiu saw people's expressions, he naturally understood.

This time, the heads of Jingzhou's major families must have been shocked.

Liu Xiu said: "the establishment of lumen academy is not only a grand event in Xiangyang, but also a grand event in Jingzhou. Such a thing is good for the country and the people. Even if we donate more books, we can't show our respect. However, books are always donated. On behalf of the prefecture, I donated 30000 books to the library

"Ah

Bursts of startled voices rang out in the hall.

30000 books!

That's not a small number.

If it's bamboo slips, 30000 volumes of books will definitely weigh more than a few hundred thousand jin. It's not a room or two that needs to be specially placed.

Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and felt incredible, even disbelieving.

Because, this number is too large.

Goodwill took a deep breath, suppressed his surprise, and asked: "Liu Jingzhou, 30000 books is not a small number. It's not something that can be accomplished by talking about it. And I have a question. Does the prefecture have a collection of 30000 books? "
