"In addition to military books, medical books, and books related to craftsmanship are also hard to find in bookstores. Most of them are handed down from person to person," Qi Haoran sighed: "Why does the family work for the family? It's not because he has a lot of money and money, It’s because he has a lot of books, and the more books he has, the more he has passed down. With knowledge, they will not fall down, even if they fall, it is temporary, and they can make a comeback once they learn the skills.”
"This is the monopoly of knowledge," Mu Yangling asked while hugging his arm, "What kind of books does our family have?"
Qi Haoran glanced at her and said, "Didn't you read all the books in our study? 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 smiled and said, "There are quite a lot of books in the palace. At that time, the capital was not too chaotic, so the books in the library of the palace were preserved, but the book collection is still a little worse than those of the aristocratic families."
There are three library buildings in the imperial palace, each with two floors. Mu Yangling couldn't help but stammered, "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, and he had the cheek to ask the family to take out the collection to be published by the Royal Bookstore, and wanted to build a royal library and open it to scholars all over the world. It's a pity that the project has only begun. , the war in the north started again, and when Emperor Sejong came back to pacify the north, he fell seriously ill within two years. At that time, the collection of books was only half printed. When the family saw this, they took back the books one after another. When the book was published, Emperor Gaozong, who was the crown prince at the time, sympathized with the family and decided to stop the publication. It is said that Emperor Sejong was so angry that he vomited blood and died within two days.
"Gojong was close to the aristocratic family, and after he ascended the throne, he directly cancelled the construction of the imperial library because the treasury was empty, and collected the printed books into the library of the imperial palace.
"When Emperor Jingyan fled to the south, he only brought out part of his collection of books, and the rest was destroyed by the fire of war, or was divided up by aristocratic families or looted by Dajin, so don't look at the size of the palace's current library, in fact, the amount of books Less than a third of what it was when Emperor Sejong was there."
Qi Haoran just doesn’t like reading, and he sighs when he talks about it. He knows that culture is the inheritance, and books are the carrier of culture.
"How do you know these things?"
"What Zijin and Ye said," Qi Haoran folded his hands behind his head, lying on the bed with his legs crossed, "He wanted to find a few rare books, but he didn't find them for a long time. He doesn't believe in evil. I ran to read the books of Emperor Sejong. After all, it was not a secret that Emperor Sejong came to the family for three times and asked for the publication of books. Every scholar knows that he does not believe that there are only so many books in the library. When he came out, he had to use five large boxes to keep the books for recording the books. The existing books were less than half of the original ones. When he flipped through the secret history of that time, he almost went to the tomb of Emperor Gaozong and scolded him. When he complained to the grandfather Grandpa naturally knows."
Fan Zijin is not a good person, but he is a scholar, and a scholar who loves books. How can he not be angry when he sees a good royal library being tossed by Gaozong's words?
"Actually, eldest brother can accomplish what Emperor Sejong did not accomplish." Mu Yangling felt that Sejong, a transmigrator, was 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 transmigrator, how on earth did he raise his son, and how did Gaozong oppose him in everything?
"Not now," Qi Haoran said, "Nowadays, people's livelihood and borders are the key. Let's not talk about the cost of publishing and collecting books. It is very difficult to communicate with the family. The family has no obligation to contribute to the collection. Emperor Sejong was able to do it. But I don't want to show my face, I almost begged the family, and ceded a lot of benefits, so I half-begged and forced people to take out the book. First, I can't bear the humiliation of the emperor. Second, the family is more than before. I’m already a lot weaker, and if we push each other again, I’m afraid there will be chaos, so it won’t happen.” At least not for ten years.
Mu Yangling smiled and said, "I didn't ask my eldest brother to ask for books from the aristocratic family. It's enough for us to print our own books and books from the palace. After finishing this part, we will call on everyone to donate books. There are many books from the family. , but there are also a lot of royal books. In the beginning, only these books were more than enough. It was Zijin. How many books did he read in the library? Then we began to accept book donations. Those families may not be willing to take out books. But there are many ministers in the DPRK and scholars all over the world, don’t they want to contribute to the country? At that time, there will be no difference between the family’s donation and the non-donation.”
Qi Haoran was puzzled at first, then his eyes lit up and he sat up, "That's right, we're not going to beg them. Soft knives will kill them."
The aristocratic family was unwilling to share the book, just wanted to monopolize knowledge, and no matter what system the imperial court adopted, they had the upper hand.
Because they monopolized rich educational resources, this is beyond the reach of other commoners or even people who study.
But if the Royal Library is open to the people all over the world, and people can borrow and transcribe, then their advantage will be weakened. Even if the books in the Royal Library are not as good as those of the family, it is already a good thing for the imperial examination officials. Enough, and for technical talents, the books in the library can also help them get started or even go further, which is better than groping them ignorantly.
And systematic education has the benefits of systematic education, and wild ones also have the advantages of wild ones. Who can be sure that wild ones will not soar higher than domestic ones?
The most important thing is that their base is far greater than the number of family members.
They are facing the people all over the world, and the family is only for people from their family, and even people in their family may not be able to enter the family's library to borrow books.
The family is not a single piece of iron, Mu Yangling said that they can be divided from now on.
The more the couple talked, the more vigorous they were. They were both imaginative characters, and they were private conversations between husband and wife. It only took a while, and the two of them had already begun to look head-to-head and look at the royal library. All the subjects belonged to each other, and the families were defeated one after another.
Mu Yangling said with a smile: "This is a sword without blood, and Emperor Sejong was too impatient."
"Don't be in a hurry, he's about to die. You see, when 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 work as our ancestors, our descendants will be unworthy, and our achievements will be in vain." Mu Yangling sighed, "As soon as Gaozong came to power, The efforts made by Emperor Sejong for more than 20 years have been ruined. If Emperor Sejong had not left behind a thick family background, I am afraid that Da Zhou would have perished at that time, so in truth, this is an unprecedented pit father figure. "
Qi Haoran pondered, "Are we too lenient with our sons?"
Mu Yangling also pondered, lying on top of him and said, "Would you like to be stricter from tomorrow?"
"Is it too late now?" Qi Haoran hesitated, "Didn't you say that you are old when you are three? Now all three children are over three years old."
Mu Yangling said firmly: "Then be upright."
So, a good wife-teaching class was abruptly broken up by the couple into godsons to discuss.
