As dusk approaches, the library's all-night reading room is as crowded as ever, and the scale has expanded many reading rooms. Not long after it is built, it is crowded with readers.

King Xiao Yan, wearing casual clothes, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel helpless. He didn't expect that the rumored Huangzhou Zhouxue all-night reading room really had a bright light, and he didn't expect that he came so early and it was too "late".

Confucius said: There is no difference in teaching. Students in Huangzhou Prefecture School, regardless of their identity or background, are students with equal status in the prefecture school. They are hard to find all night reading room. The seats are not reserved. Readers do not distinguish between high and low, but only come first and then arrive.

You must queue up in person and go through the procedures. If you come first, you will have a seat. If you are late, please come early tomorrow, or wait in line outside. Only when someone leaves can you make up for it.

Xiao Yan, who was born with a noble family, disdained to live in the same room with a lowly person, let alone lined up together. This kind of request was an insult to him. If he had not had the reputation of the all-night reading room, he would not have lined up here.

As a royal family member of the vassal state, Xiao Yan accompanied the lord and the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to attend classes in the state. Before, he heard people talk about the various "mass" of Huangzhou Province. At first, he was skeptical, but when he was really in the state, he realized that what he said was not false.

At this time, he was waiting in line to enter the reading room, and a poem was written on the snow-white wall next to him. The poem was called "Li Xue", a seven-character poem with a large word like a dou, and its contents are as follows:

Rich families don’t have to buy good land, but there are thousands of bells of millet in the book.

There is no need to build high buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book.

Don’t hate the lack of a good matchmaker when marrying a wife, and there is a beauty in the book.

Don’t regret that no one follows you when you go out, there are so many cars and horses in the books.

The students want to fulfill their life ambitions, and read the Five Classics diligently to the window.

This poem of Li Xue is signed as "Anonymous". After reading it, Xiao Yan felt sad. He believed that the children of the Xiao family of Lanling should study hard in order to achieve their literary achievements. Although it is equally important to be skilled in the archery and horse, literature must rank first.

To promote literature, classics are indispensable. Only with a certain amount of book collection can a family's literary style be maintained for a long time. Liang's collection was originally the best in the world.

The Liang Kingdom of Xiao's family gradually declined due to the Hou Jing Rebellion. Later, it established its capital in Jiangling and was soon captured by the Wei army. On the day the city was broken, the Liang Emperor Xiao Yi, who was completely in despair, burned hundreds of thousands of books, and countless literary treasures turned into ashes.

This is a literary catastrophe. The rebuilt Liang Kingdom can no longer restore the grand occasion of the past. Now, the Huangzhou Prefecture Library has a collection of more than sensational hundreds of thousands of volumes...

The book contains thousands of millet and the amazing collection of Huangzhou Prefecture Library is like a huge granary, attracting Xiao Yan, the hungry brat.

However, his time in Xiyang was limited, so he could only take advantage of these few days to read books in the reading room. Even if he was queuing down, he might not be able to do what he wanted: if he wanted to read books, the premise was that he could get the position.

The all-night reading room was very large, but there were more people in line. I don’t know how long it took, but when there were two seats left in the reading room, it was finally his turn. Although he was not used to the mixed seats of high and low, Xiao Yan was still very excited.

Xiao Yan carefully studied the book list, and many of them were "single remakes" of ancient books that only heard the name but did not see the book. There are inevitably fake works by later generations who entrusted their names, but even fake works are worth reading.

For scholars, so many books are enough to keep eating and sleeping. Countless students from ordinary families have very few books at home. They have to spend a lot of effort to borrow books to read on weekdays, and they may not be able to borrow money. Here, reading books is almost free.

You can read any book, as long as you can get a seat. After borrowing the book, you can write it down and write it on a note and submit it to the state for "Academic Affairs".

The academic affairs will sort out these questions and submit them. When the lecturer teaches in the lecture hall, he will answer questions that students are more concerned about during the question time.

If the student who asked the question was not present at the time, there is no need to worry about missing it, because these answers will be sorted into text later and published in the monthly publication of Xiyang Monthly.

There are famous teachers who teach, free books to borrow in the reading room, and there are eternal lanterns in the reading room all night, allowing students to use their spare time to read books as much as possible. Such state schools have endless temptations for scholars.

Xiao Yan saw the scale of Huangzhou Prefecture School with his own eyes, and truly understood why his half-brother Xiao Yu was coming to Huangzhou to study. So tonight, he would "read at night" in the all-night reading room and wander around the sea of ​​books.

After completing the procedures, Xiao Yan entered the reading room, but he did not rush to borrow books and take his seat, but waited for the person behind him to come in.

As the emperor arrived in Shannan, Zheng Shanguo also arrived in Xiyang with the imperial guards. Today, he took the time to go to the library with Xiao Yan, a member of the Liang Kingdom, and as soon as he came, he didn't want to leave.

Zheng Shanguo is now in a state of war between heaven and man, and there is only one seat left in the reading room. Now it is his turn to go in. If he goes in, he can read the book he wants to read in advance.

If he doesn't go in, the emperor will not stay in Xiyang for too long. Once the emperor turns back to Anlu, he will have to leave. I don't know how long it will take to go to Xiyang next time.

However, now there is a curfew coming soon. If you go to the reading room to read a book, the consequence will be "not returning all night", which is never happening. Zheng Shanguo knew that if he did this, his mother Cui, who was also in Xiyang, would be so worried.

If he dares to "return all night", he will face multiple tortures of conscience, morality, human nature, and family affection after he returns. Even if the reason for not returning all night is to study, will his mother forgive?

However, the books he wanted to read were not available elsewhere.

Du Yu, a famous minister in the Jin Dynasty, was a talented civil and military scholar. He wrote "Collected Explanations of the Book of the Zuo Classics in the Spring and Autumn Period". It is a recognized authoritative work of "Zuo Xue". It has been circulated for hundreds of years and no one dares to question it. But now, some people have questioned it.

Those who question their behavior will inevitably be suspected of sensationalism, but if this person is a scholar all over the world, it will be different.

Liu Xuan, one of the "Two Lius", is a famous scholar of classics all over the world. He has published a book titled "The Rules of the Spring and Autumn Period", which questioned some of the contents in Du Yu's "Collected Explanations of the Zuo Classics of the Spring and Autumn Period".

What questions does this book raise? Zheng Shanguo wanted to know, but especially wanted to know, but only felt that his heart was as twitching as a cat, and he felt so uncomfortable.

Not only he thought, many people wanted to know that the consequence was that the first edition of "The Spring and Autumn Rules" of Xiyangcheng Bookstore was sold out at the beginning of retail sales. Those who could not get it could only borrow it from the Zhouxue Library.

Now, according to the librarian's review, there is only one seat left in the reading room, and there is only one book left in the library "The Spring and Autumn Rules". If you miss it, you will not have the chance to read it in the short term.

Xiyang Bookstore is now working overtime to print "The Spring and Autumn Rules", but there are many orders received and it will take more than ten days to retail. Zheng Shanguo cannot stay in Xiyang for so long, so...

At this moment, he was like a hungry man, with a bowl of fragrant rice in front of him, and it was impossible not to eat it.

Looking up at the song "Lixue", looking at the "there are thousands of millets in the book", and then looking at the librarian in front of him who was waiting for him to make a decision. Zheng Shanguo's intention was decided.
Chapter completed!
