Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1261
Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and other generals are still observing the bright library with great interest. They feel that it is very exciting to have so many glass mounted on the wall. It would be great if such a hall can be built at home.

However, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others all focused on the books on the bookshelf.

Li Shimin and a group of civil servants quickly came to the bookshelf, took out the book from the bookshelf, and opened it expectantly.

Brand new books, strong book fragrance, clear handwriting, everything is so perfect.

Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised: "These books printed with movable type are even clearer than those printed with woodblocks."

Wei Zheng flipped through several different books one after another, and found that although the content was different, the handwriting was exactly the same, indicating that they were all printed with the same type, but the order of the movable type was changed.

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "It is indeed clearer, and it is indeed printed with movable type, which shows that movable type printing is really a great success!"

"Of course it succeeded, otherwise what would I use to build the library?" Su Cheng said with a smile: "Go up and have a look, they are all upstairs."

"Okay, then go upstairs and have a look." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he immediately walked upstairs, and guards had already gone upstairs to set up defenses in advance.

Therefore, when Li Shimin walked upstairs, Cheng Chumo and the others upstairs knew about His Majesty's arrival, and they were all waiting at the stairs.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Hundreds of people respectfully said.

Li Shimin's gaze swept across the crowd slowly, and said with a smile: "You are very good. Although you have almost searched Chang'an City these days, but you helped Su Cheng build a library, which is considered a benefit to the world and future generations. Very pleased!"

Cheng Chumo, Yu Chigong and the others are alright, they can often enjoy a bit of glory by following Su Cheng's ass, so they are not too excited when they hear the emperor's praise.

But Changsun Chong, Wei Shuyu, and Fang Yiai are different. Although they all have extraordinary family backgrounds, they have never experienced such a time when they are praised by the emperor, so they all blushed with excitement.

Before, they didn't expect that the emperor would come and praise them in person. If they had known earlier, they would have worked extra hard even if there was no contribution monument.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Su Cheng built the library to benefit the common people. Anyway, these boys are idle, so they should be able to contribute!"

Cheng Yaojin beamed with joy and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, they should do what they should do, and they can't deserve His Majesty's praise!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "It should be praised, these boys are still very fast in doing things. I heard that Su Cheng is going to build a library, and he specially sorted out the books in the palace, and sent the pheasant slaves to Sujiazhuang. I didn't expect Su Cheng to say that those books are already there, which makes me very emotional."

Su Cheng cupped his hands slightly and said, "I must thank Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin waved his hands and smiled, "It's a great thing that you want to build a library. Of course I will help you! But I didn't expect your library to be built so quickly! There are more books on the second floor than on the first floor." what!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Because there is a hall at the entrance on the first floor, there are more and more books, and there are more books on the second floor."

After the surrounding Cheng Chumo and others dispersed, Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but gasp, not only was there more, it was simply too much!

This is simply an ocean of books.

None of the ministers in the court has a study room. However, the study room at home is shabby compared to this place.

Thinking about the books downstairs, and thinking about so many books upstairs, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would have been beyond their imagination.

Li Shimin took a group of ministers for a stroll on the second floor. The books on the first floor were all very common books, so it didn't arouse everyone's surprise, but on the second floor, there were many books that were not very common. up.

"Oh, I've been looking for this book for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it here!" Kong Yingda said with a look of surprise.

"Hey, this one looks interesting!"

"Hey, there's this book!"

A group of civil servants strolled in the library, expressing surprise and emotion from time to time.

When they were on the first floor, although they were impressed by the magnificence of the library, they didn't think about coming to the reading library to read books, because the books on the first floor were common books, they had read them all, and some even knew them by heart.

But now on the second floor, they found a lot of books that they hadn't read, and many ministers in the court immediately became interested.

It turns out that this library is also a treasure house for them!

"I didn't expect Su Cheng to have collected so many books, many of which I have never seen before. In my free time, I must come to the library to read books!" Kong Yingda said excitedly. He is a great scholar in the world, and he has never read books Not many.

However, there are so many books here that he has not read, how can this make him not excited?
Not only Kong Yingda was excited, Chu Suiliang and others were also very excited.

"Come together. When the time comes, we will come together. Wouldn't it be nice to sit here and read a book?" Chu Suiliang smiled.

Wei Zheng asked suspiciously: "Didn't Su Cheng just say that he didn't plan to open the museum? When will it open?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin turned his head and asked, "Yes, Su Cheng, there are so many books here, why don't you plan to open the library?"

"Because there are still many books that have not been printed, and the third floor is still empty, so I want to wait!" Su Cheng explained with a smile.

Is the third floor still vacant?Everyone listened to it and it was no exception. The books on the first and second floors alone were scary enough. If the third floor was full of books on the first floor, wouldn't it scare people to death?
Li Shimin quickly said: "Fatty doesn't eat in one bite. I don't think you have to wait until the third floor is full of books. These books are enough for everyone to read. You can fill up the books on the third floor and add more!"

Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda and the others nodded repeatedly when they heard this. There are so many books like a sea of ​​books. It is indeed enough to read. The books on the third floor can be filled later.

Su Cheng hesitated and said: "I'm a perfectionist, it's not a big deal that the third floor is empty!"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "The books on the first and second floors alone are enough to shock the world. Today, you transported books to the library, which can be said to be a sensation in Chang'an. The people in Chang'an are looking forward to the opening of the library. You Do you have the nerve to make the people of Chang'an wait for you?"

Li Shimin waved his hand very firmly and said: "Fang Qing is right, the people of Chang'an cannot be disappointed, I remember that the day after tomorrow will be a good day, as the saying goes, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, why not open the museum the day after tomorrow!"

Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others listened and nodded in agreement.
