Linzi City,
"After waiting for so long, the free library is finally open!”
"I heard that the Confucius Residence's library is now free to borrow. I wonder which place has more books?”
"Do you even need to guess? With the Confucian school's moral conduct, the so-called treasures must be the words of Confucius and Mencius. What's there to see?”
"According to the news from Xue County, the so-called free entry is actually limited to a daily limit. Moreover, only those recommended by great Confucians can enter.”
"Stop fighting and quickly grab a good seat. If the books are borrowed by someone after we enter, we don't know how long we'll have to wait!”
"That's right. In half a month, the imperial court's assessment will begin. We have to revise well!”
"Do you think the Imperial Court's assessment this time will really be as fair as the announcement says?”
"No matter what, he's still stronger than those scholars, right?”
"Since we're already here, we have to try before leaving. What if we're in high school?”
Thousands of students gathered outside the reconstructed Linzi Library of Jixia Learning Palace, waiting and discussing.
"Mr. Xiao, aren't you looking forward to this library? Why didn't you come earlier?”
In the square, Cao Can tried for a long time but was unable to squeeze into the crowd. He could only run back with sweat all over his face.
"Cao Can, Jixia Learning Palace was once famous throughout the world, so why did it suddenly decline?”
Xiao He asked with a smile.
"It should be that the later King Qi did not value Confucianism as much as Duke Huan of Qi did, right?”
Cao Can guessed.
"If Confucianism is not valued, then why has the proportion of Confucian scholars in the Qi Kingdom's imperial court increased over the years?”
Xiao He asked.
Cao Can shook his head and respectfully said,"Please give me some pointers, Mister Xiao!"”
"Because when Jixia Learning Palace was first established, it actually included all the schools of thought in the world!”
"Regardless of status, regardless of country, as long as you can convince everyone in the academy, you can become the Chancellor and receive the important position of King Qi!”
" Other than the great Confucians such as Mencius and Xunzi, Shen Buhai of the Legalism School, Zou Yan of the Yinyang School, and Shen Dao of the Taoism School all once discussed the Dao in Jixia Learning Palace. They complemented each other with the other wise men and created a flourishing age of a hundred schools of thought.”
"However, since the Confucian Sect was the only faction that was dominant, Jixia Learning Palace began to exclude the other factions. It gradually became a platform for Confucian Sect students to enter the Qi Kingdom's imperial court. It was filled with all kinds of official struggles, so who could still study in peace?”
Xiao He sighed.
"But what does this have to do with Mr. Xiao coming late?”
Cao Can was still puzzled.
"The Qin Emperor and the expert behind him chose to build a free library at the former site of Jixia Learning Palace and open it to all students in the world so that they could reproduce the glory of a hundred schools of thought contending.
With such boldness and courage, the books in the library must be very sufficient. Why fight for a while?”
Xiao He sighed slightly.
Although Cao Can had good potential, he had been in Pei County Prison for too long. His eyes were still habitually on the surface. It would be difficult for him to stand out in this assessment.
Fortunately, Great Qin's academic atmosphere was much more open than before. If he could interact with others in the Library of Heaven's Path, he believed that Cao Can's insight and ability would quickly improve.
Towards the expert who had led the revolution of Great Qin, Xiao He felt even more amazed and admired.
...
"Everyone, the Library of Heaven's Path will officially open in the time it takes an incense stick to burn!”
"Students, please line up and register your names!”
"Don't worry, everyone. The library is very rich in books. Not to mention the thousands of people in the square, even if there were a few times more people, it would still be able to accommodate them!”
"However, there are a few points that I must emphasize in advance. When you are reading in the library, please keep quiet and do not disturb others!”
"If you want to debate with others, please go to a special area!”
"Lastly, those who intentionally damage the books in the library will not only have to pay the price, but they will also be imprisoned for more than three days!”
A team of fully armed Imperial Guards suddenly appeared in front of the entrance and began to read the regulations loudly.
"Mr. Xiao, you're right again!”
Cao Can looked at Xiao He in admiration.
"Let's go and line up together!"
"I'm also looking forward to what the world's largest library, which has been publicized for a long time, will look like!”
Xiao He smiled and joined the group with Cao Can.
However,
When Xiao He entered the library and saw the dazzling array of books, which were arranged in an orderly manner and were far more convenient to read than the bamboo slips he had imagined, he was completely dumbfounded like the others.
"What a big deal!"
"With such a large number of divine books, even the entire country must have prepared them for a long time!”
"Especially these sentences and annotations, they can't be completed in a short time!”
"The world's largest library is indeed worthy of its reputation!”
"From this moment on, the scholarly faction has already begun to fall from the divine altar!”
Looking at the overjoyed students, whose hands were trembling as they held the books, Xiao He's face was no longer as calm as usual. He was stunned for a long time before he barely regained his composure.
Even though he had guessed that Great Qin had caused such a commotion because of this, he had never thought that it would be so heaven-defying!
He didn't even need to carefully estimate that there were at least 10,000 books in the reading room.
According to the introduction of the library staff, there were nearly a hundred such reading rooms!
Not to mention this new type of paper book, its ability to carry words far exceeded the most commonly used bamboo slips in the past. One book was equivalent to several carts of bamboo slips!
Even if all the books in the Reading Rooms were the same, this new library far surpassed all of Great Qin's books!
In fact, just by looking at the labels on the bookshelves and doors of the reading rooms, Xiao He could tell:
Not only was there a lot of books in this library, but it was also all-encompassing. It was so complete that even the Confucian classics that had dominated the mainstream in the past were only a small part of it.
In other words, not only did the number of books in Linzi's Great Qin Library exceed the total number of books in other places, but the variety of books was also unique.
In addition, there was a specially set up debate area!
It was no exaggeration to say that this place had far surpassed the former holy land of the literary world, the Residence of Confucius. It had become the most suitable place in the world to study and advance.
The world of literature had completely changed!
