My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1012 Today I am proud of the bookstore, tomorrow the bookstore will be proud of me! Life or life?
Letting everyone vent their joy, when the noise died down again, Ying Chengjiao continued, "Chang'an Bookstore is not just the work of me alone."

"I will not stay in Linzi for long, so I specially invite Qi Diaozi's son, Qi Diao Chong, to be the manager of Chang'an Bookstore."

"In the future, the daily management of Chang'an Bookstore will be mainly led by Qi Diao Chong."

Tang Min and other powerful people breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s better not to stay for long. It’s better not to stay for long!

The Confucian scholars showed some respect in their eyes, and they all bowed and said, "Greetings to the lacquer carving shop manager!"

Although Qi Diao Chong is not well-known in the world, he is the son of the leader of the Qi Diao school, one of the eight schools of Confucianism. In today's world where blood inheritance is valued, scholars may not like Qi Diao Chong, but as long as Qi Diao Chong does not do anything disrespectful or shameless, scholars will give Qi Diao Chong some face.

More importantly, the ethos of the Qidiao School and the family tradition of the Qidiao family also made them believe that Qidiao Chonghui would be a man who was impartial, honest and reliable, incorruptible to the powerful and not contemptuous of the common people.

Qi Diao Chong also stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Greetings to all the great sages!"

Ying Chengjiao continued, "There are also 46 other talented people, including Gongyang Tao and Bu Zhe, who are willing to help me and work at Chang'an Bookstore."

"These forty-six wise men are all law officials, with the power to teach students and judge errors and mistakes."

"It is because so many talented people are willing to help me that I can establish Chang'an Bookstore!"

Private instruction has always been strictly prohibited in the Qin Dynasty, and only law officials are qualified to teach disciples.

But the Qin Dynasty did not have enough legal officials. It was impossible for Ying Chengjiao to transfer another batch of legal officials to work in Chang'an Bookstore, which would make the already understaffed official system even worse!
Fortunately, Linzi was Ying Chengjiao's fief, and as a feudal lord, Ying Chengjiao had the power to appoint and dismiss officials within the fief.

Therefore, Ying Chengjiao exercised his power as a feudal lord and promoted academic figures such as Gongyang Tao, who had passed the legal clerk examination but had no ability to govern, to be legal clerks in Linzi County. They received double salaries from the Linzi County government and the Chang'an Junfu, but they only worked in the Chang'an Bookstore.

Ying Chengjiao's action was in the gray area of ​​Qin law. If someone else did something similar and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, it would most likely be reported to Ying Zheng!
But for Ying Chengjiao, so what?

Ying Chengjiao only knew that this move could not only make good use of academic talents like Gong Yangtao, but also benefit the people!

When the old soldiers heard that Gongyang Tao and others were law enforcement officers and had the power to teach people to read, their eyes immediately lit up.

The officials in the county government looked down on their children and were unwilling to teach them how to read and write.

But the law enforcement officers under Chang'an Jun would certainly not do so!
Their children have the opportunity to learn to read, and as long as they can read, they can step into Chang'an Bookstore and swim in the sea of ​​books to seek opportunities to cross classes!

All the veterans bowed their hands and shouted in the most enthusiastic manner: "Greetings to the superiors!"

Facing such enthusiastic cheers, Gong Yangtao and other law officials had red eyes and trembling bodies. They returned the greeting with the most standard gesture in their lives: "Greetings, everyone!"

Then Gong Yangtao and a group of Chang'an Bookstore officials bowed to Ying Chengjiao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving us such a good opportunity!"

They thought that their lives would only be accompanied by green lamps, classics and poverty.

They never imagined that people like them were worthy of receiving cheers from the people!
Ying Chengjiao returned the greeting by bowing: "Thank you for your courtesy, everyone."

“You are cheered by all the people today because they see hope in you.”

"If you can still be respected by the people one year from now, that will be the true respect of the people for you."

"I should congratulate you all and vigorously promote you all!"

The enthusiasm in Gong Yangtao and others' hearts cooled slightly.

Today they are just proud of Chang'an Bookstore. If they can make Chang'an Bookstore proud of them, that will be their own achievement!
Gong Yangtao and the others bowed more sincerely: "We, the humble ones, will not let you down!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled, turned around and faced the steps below, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"Chang'an Bookstore, stand!"

No matter whether they were common people or ordinary people, they all bowed their hands and shouted:
"color!!!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded happily and said in a deep voice: "There are many books in Chang'an Bookstore, and lights are strictly prohibited, so the store will close at sunset."

"And now." Ying Chengjiao smiled warmly: "It's not sunset yet."

Hearing this, the Confucian scholars took a deep breath.

What does Chang'an Jun mean by this?
Does that mean... we can enter Chang'an Bookstore now?

Under the temptation of reading the classics of sages as soon as possible, a Confucian scholar took a tentative step forward, but Ying Chengjiao's family soldiers did not step forward to stop him.

This also made the Confucian scholars bolder, and they all accelerated their progress with the Four-square Step, but when they climbed the circular steps, they unconsciously slowed down their pace.

Even though the old Qi State had perished, this circular staircase, which was once only trodden by Qi's important ministers, still gave them great psychological pressure. Ying Chengjiao, who stood at the end of the circular staircase, made many Confucian scholars tremble with fear.

Finally, a Confucian scholar walked up to Ying Chengjiao under great psychological pressure, and bowed with his hands, forcing himself to maintain a literary spirit: "I, a commoner, would like to thank Lord Chang'an for his kindness in promoting literary spirit."

"It's not too late yet, Dai invites you to come to Chang'an Bookstore for a look!"

Ying Chengjiao took a step to the side, made way and smiled gently: "Please!" Dai Li's eyes showed deep shock and ecstasy.

He had already prepared himself to be scolded by Ying Chengjiao for being greedy and reckless, but he never expected that Ying Chengjiao would agree to his request so gently!

Dai Li hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Then, without even looking at Ying Chengjiao's reaction, Dai Li subconsciously lifted up his skirt and raised his legs high.

It was not until Dai Li put his right foot down and stepped on some broken wood that he finally realized that Ying Chengjiao had cleared the threshold to knowledge for them!
Dai Li became even more eager, quickened his pace and ran into the bookstore, picking up a book with trembling hands.

Seeing Dai Li successfully enter the bookstore, the remaining Confucian scholars' anxiety was greatly reduced, and their pace quickened again. However, when they passed in front of Ying Chengjiao, they would bow respectfully, identify themselves, and then carefully pounce on the pile of books filled with the scent of ink.

"So many books! I'm blaspheming myself as a well-read person, but the books I've read in my entire life probably don't even add up to 30% of the books in this place!"

"The Lancet (First Edition)? The name of this book is so strange, how come I have never heard of it before... Written by Qin Changan Jun Chengjiao? ! ! Hiss~~ Come and see! This book was actually written by Changan Jun!"

"Qi Diao Zi, Gong Yang Chun Qiu, Wu Gu, Huge Rat, Workshop Safety Rules... Who has seen the Zhou Li and Yi Li?"

"Brother, have you not found the Zhou Li? I have not found it either. If anyone has found it, please let me know. I have borrowed the third volume of the Zhou Li. If anyone has found it, I can share it with you!"

The Confucian scholars were like wild animals in a melon field, immersed in the endless melons and unable to extricate themselves.

But when they bit into one of them with great anticipation, they found that although the melon was tasty, it was not the taste they wanted.

After giving up on this melon and turning to bite the next one, it found that although the next melon was equally delicious, it still did not taste the way it wanted.

When the wild beasts were eating all over the melon field, they were shocked to find that although there were many melons in the field and they were all delicious, they could not find a few that suited their taste!

What they wanted to eat was big watermelons, but all there were were big winter melons!
Dai Li, who was filled with enthusiasm, turned back in shock and even dared to ask, "May I ask Your Majesty, where is the Book of Zhou Li?"

Ying Chengjiao replied calmly: "There is no copy of Zhou Li in Chang'an Bookstore."

Suddenly, there was an uproar in Chang'an Bookstore: "How could there be no "Zhou Li"?"

"Every common people's home has a copy of the Book of Zhou. Since the Chang'an Bookstore has over 6,000 volumes, how could it not have the Book of Zhou?"

"Could it be that the Zhou Li is among the next batch of books to be transported? Or did the servants neglect it and forget about it? How could a classic like the Zhou Li be missing?"

The Chang'an Bookstore, which has a collection of more than 6,000 volumes, does not have Zhouli, just like Jerusalem does not have Tifa.

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

Ying Chengjiao asked back with a puzzled look on his face: "The imperial examinations for selecting scholars in the Qin Dynasty will not test the Zhou Li."

"The examination for the legal officials of the Qin Dynasty will not test the Zhou Li."

"Why do you think that the Chang'an Bookstore must have the Book of Zhou Li?"

"Have you two been promoted to officials of the Qin Dynasty? Don't you need to care about the imperial examinations?"

"Or are you so confident of success in the imperial examination that you're willing to read some miscellaneous books?"

Everyone: Huh? ? ?

There seemed to be nothing wrong with what Ying Chengjiao said.

The reason why most Confucian scholars went to Linzi was for the imperial examination that was about to be held in Linzi City.

All their energy should be devoted to the imperial examinations, and all they learn and think about should be things related to the examinations.

Since the Zhou Li has nothing to do with the imperial examination, it seems unnecessary for these candidates to care whether the Chang'an Bookstore has the Zhou Li or not... Wait! That's not right!

That’s “The Book of Zhou”!
Its status in the Warring States Period can be described as the Bible of "Zhou Li"!
How come it became a miscellaneous book in Ying Chengjiao's mouth? !

Tian Huan, who had never had a chance to speak, hurried forward and said, "I have the Book of Zhou Rites in my home."

"Tomorrow, Tian will donate all of his collection of books, including the Book of Zhou, to Chang'an Bookstore!"

Tang Min and other clans all glared at Tian Huan.

Why are they so high and mighty? Why can they pass down their status and power from generation to generation? Why can they easily control the common people?
One very important reason is that they have knowledge!

The combination of Tian Huan's donation of his entire collection of books and Ying Chengjiao's unconditional lending of books was undoubtedly a blow to the lifelines of the major families!

Tang Min and other clan leaders immediately bowed their hands solemnly and said, "We are also willing to donate all our collections of books to Chang'an Bookstore!"

The life force is indeed important, but they can still distinguish which is more important, the life force or life.
