Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

As for things like poll tax, he has always been dismissive.

After a few years, when I have finished my work, Zhang Yan must make more reasonable adjustments to the current land tax, oral tax and corvee tax system in Lujiang. need.

It can be said that, coupled with some factors such as social welfare linked to household registration, within the next ten years, the registered population of Lujiang, or the entire Jiangdong, will truly approach the actual population.

After the census was arranged like this, Zhang Yan saw Kuai Qi's pensive look, so he didn't bother Kuai Qi anymore.

As for Ye'er, he naturally didn't have to worry about it.

For this large-scale relocation from Luoyang, the paper mill under Zhang Yan brought all the equipment that needed to be used, and the core technical talents were also included in Zhang Yan's relocation list.

It won't take too long. After these people have laid the scene, there will soon be a steady stream of high-quality paper flowing into the market in Lujiang.

With the rise and use of paper, movable type printing, which he had been obsessed with before, finally came into play.

Speaking of the two industries of papermaking and printing, after Zhang Yan carried out certain technological reforms through the experience of later generations, they almost immediately became the most popular commodities under his hands, just like high-grade liquor.

Different from wine that uses grain as raw material and cannot be produced without using horsepower, the raw material of this paper is only wood fiber, which can be seen almost everywhere in Lujiang, a densely forested place in the east of the river.

In addition, Wancheng itself is located in a place surrounded by many rivers, and printing and other industries can obviously develop rapidly.

At present, the printing factory under Zhang Yan’s hands is still in a state of being attached to the paper mill because of its small scale. A government department related to media propaganda was liberated from the paper mill alone.

In order to be able to produce a large number of commonly used books and media carriers in a short period of time, Zhang Yan even hired someone to produce a large amount of lead type, just waiting for the day when "Lujiang Monthly" will be able to enter the market in the future.

Although in terms of short-term development, the speed of woodblock printing may not be slower than that of movable type printing...but the technology aspect has never been just for the moment.

Is it possible that Huaxia will give up computer research and development because the calculation speed of the abacus within a hundred digits is faster than that of the old-fashioned computers?

Soon, the future arrangements for the army, the government affairs of Anhui City, and the trends of Zhang Yan's own industries were determined in this way.

After finishing all these trivial matters, Zhang Yan finally had time to continue the business that he had stagnated for a long time.

Of course, it didn't refer to the matter of pushing Xiao Qiao alone.

……

"Then, the next one is... Wei Xian."

"Come here."

After waving his hand to signal Wei Xian to come in front of him, Zhang Yan took out the blueprint that hadn't been taken out for a long time from his bosom, and even had some old and wrinkled drawings in front of everyone.

"You should be familiar with this thing, right?"

【Miracle of Civilization: The Great Royal Library of the Alexander Empire】

[Rank: Rare (Special)]

[Architectural functions: library reading, collection, exhibition]

[Building effect: a small increase in the attractiveness of the population of the affiliated forces, and a medium increase in the attractiveness of the scribes]

[Comment: "He will contain all the books in the world, I mean all." - Ragus Ptolemy]

The familiar spectacle page popped up again. Looking at the nostalgic handwriting, Zhang Yan suddenly couldn't remember how long ago he saw this thing last time.

It may have been a long time.

[Special Mission: Building the Great Royal Library of the Alexander Empire (opened)]

Twenty-six (viii) ⑤ six zero five ③

[Task requirements: Build a large Greek-style library building within the territory according to the blueprint. The materials used must be stone materials, and the building scale must not be less than one hectare. 】

[Task Reward: Unlock permission to exchange blueprints of architectural wonders of National University*, fame value 12800 points]

This was about a month ago, when Zhang Yan had just led his troops back to Luoyang, he had received a special task from the system.

At that time, Zhang Yan was limited by not having his own territory, so he did not complete this task immediately, but planned to wait until he reached Lujiang before proceeding.

Now, it's finally time to complete this task.

Chapter 28 The Beacon of the Scholars

"Wei Xian, you have three main tasks for the next period of time. They are to lead the people under your hand to build a new wonderland, to renovate the government offices in Wancheng County, and to build on the original Wancheng and move toward the southern plains. Expand a new residential area."

"The most important thing is the new spectacle recorded on this blueprint. This is your top priority for some time to come."

"You should be familiar with this thing. It's similar to the things I built when I was in Luoyang, but now I don't pay for it myself, but it exists as a public building in Wancheng."

Showing the other party a thick stack of drawings in his hand, Zhang Yan handed the drawings to the other party with confidence.

"The matter of renovating the government office is the least urgent thing. I will give you the new-style government office drawings later, and the planning of the new urban area will be decided after I discuss it with Kuai Qi in the future. After all, building roads and houses is not a problem. What a trifle."

"As for this thing, that is, the construction drawings of the Lujiang Future Library, you should take a look at it first. In the next few days, you can guide people to familiarize themselves with the structure of this building, and then start to initially determine the construction plan."

……

"Big library?"

After receiving the thick stack of drawings, not only Wei Xian, but also Ma Jun, Zhang Ju and others behind him frowned tightly after hearing Zhang Yan's words.

"This... big library, what is it? Is it possible that it is also used for sacrificial rituals like the sundial in Luoyang back then?"

"Although that thing is really good, but now, my lord, you have just arrived in Lujiang, and if you start construction immediately after you come up, aren't you a little too anxious?"

Hesitantly asked Zhang Yan, Kuai Qi was right behind Wei Xian at the moment, looking at the blueprint in his hand curiously, obviously he was deeply impressed by the sundial in Luoyang earlier.

Unlike ordinary scholars, he was born in the Kuai family in Jingzhou and was a fledgling Qimai master, so he obviously cared more about things like architectural geomantic omen than ordinary literati.

On the other hand, seeing that the faces of all the people under his command were more or less curious, Zhang Yan simply stopped instructing Wei Xian one-on-one, but explained it publicly to everyone.

……

"That's right, it's somewhat similar to the previous sundial, but it's not a sacrificial vessel, but a public building with practical functions... I'm not sure what type it should belong to in our big man."

"It just so happens that you, Kuai Qi, are also familiar with the construction industry, so you can help Wei Xian and me as a consultant."

After tidying up his language a bit, Zhang Yan said like this:

"The so-called big library is not something that is flashy, but a functional building that can truly benefit the people of Lujiang, and at the same time attract the entire Jiangdong, and even the scholars and celebrities of the Han Dynasty to our Lujiang territory. .”

"As the name suggests, after the building is completed, I will start collecting all kinds of books from all over the world. As long as they are books, they will be stored in this large library, and at the same time, they will be transcribed by special scribes, and the transcripts will be sent to Lujiang. The people of the country openly parade."

"Maybe there are very few ordinary people in Lujiang who are literate, but for those scholars, a place where they can read all the books in the world unconditionally must be very attractive to them."

"To be honest... our Lujiang River is not the Central Plains. Although there are two aristocratic families, the Qiao family and the Zhou family, there are still too few scholars, really too few."

"At that time, we only need to make a rule. Anyone who holds the household registration of my Lujiang Wancheng, or even other cities, can enter the library twice for free every ten days, and each time will not exceed six hours... The scholar heard that If there is any news, it will definitely flood into Lujiang to settle down like a swarm of ants."

After roughly explaining it to everyone, Zhang Yan was not sure if his description was clear enough.

But on the opposite side of him, before he could finish his words, Kuai Qi and other scribes from aristocratic families stood up from the ground in exclamation.

"what?"

"Collect books from all over the world, and provide free reading for all scholars with Lujiang household registration?!"

"Teng" stood up suddenly, Ma Jun's face was completely covered with astonishment at the moment, and at the same time, there was a hint of inconceivable expression in his eyes looking at Zhang Yan.

Beside him, Zhang Ju's expression was obviously not much better, and he even began to discuss with everyone about how much the cheapest real estate in Lujiang is, and whether he can move his family to Wancheng, Lujiang now. and.

"My lord, this is a book. It's not a bad street thing. In this big man, as long as it is a book, it is a rare thing that is worth a hundred words and a hundred words. It is even rarer than strategic materials such as horses. precious."

"Except for those aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years, who dares to say that there are so many books in their homes that they can't read them all?"

"Even Cai Yongcai, who claims to have a collection of thousands of books in his home, only has a collection of thousands of books..."

Secretly marveling in his heart, Kuai Qi gulped down a mouthful of saliva.Unlike Ma Jun and Zhang Ju who were extremely excited, his expression at this moment is really a bit complicated.

What is a killer move, this is called a proper killer move.

Fortunately, he was still a little worried before. If this Lujiang River is really according to what Zhang Yan said, the number of scholars needed by the four counties under the jurisdiction of Shu County, Wancheng, Xiang'an, and Qian County will increase to a somewhat terrifying bottom. In addition to the six major kingdoms of Juchao, Linhu, Lu'an, Longshu, Anfeng, and Yangquan, it may not be enough to gather all the scholars in Lujiang.

Looking at it now, Zhang Yan obviously made arrangements long ago, but he did, and his worries were unfounded.

As long as this big library is pulled out, not to mention those humble scholars from other places, even he, a branch of the Kuai family in Jingzhou, will faintly be unable to hold back.

Collect all the books in the world... The last person who had such an idea, in Kuai Qi's impression, was probably the former First Emperor Yingzheng who presided over the construction of the Afang Palace.

……

"The lord is far-sighted, and the wild mountains are sprayed. If this large library can be built, it will be a great thing for the scholars in Lujiang and the scholars in the whole Han world."

"Different from some sundials that do not meet people's livelihood, once this large library is completed, it is equivalent to setting up a beacon for the world's literati in Lujiang, and it is a holy place for literati."

"In today's troubled times, this building can even serve as a defense card. Once someone dares to violate it, they will definitely be condemned and criticized by scholars all over the world."

"Thinking about it, if any scholar has never come to our Lujiang River to study in the future, I'm afraid he will be ashamed to say that he is a scholar?"

Bowing in the direction of Zhang Yan, as a scholar, Kuai Qi suddenly developed a kind of respect for Zhang Yan.

This kind of psychology has nothing to do with the status of the master minister between the two.

Chapter 29 There Are No Fools Among Gentlemen

"Well, Kuai Qi, you're right, that's exactly what I thought."

"I also know that if there is a big construction project in the Lujiang River, it will inevitably be a waste of time and money, but don't forget, after a while, Gong Ming will lead his troops to the Qianshan Mountain to suppress the bandits. At that time, one will count as one. The gangsters are an excellent labor force, just right for building great libraries."

"When Gongming brought them back, Wei Xian probably also finalized the specific construction plan, and the time was just right, so that the big library could be completed, and those vicious people could get it easily. discipline."

"This method kills two birds with one stone, isn't it beautiful?"

Responding to Kuai Qi with a smile, Zhang Yan also nodded to everyone.

"As you said just now, I think libraries are still attractive to literati in the world. As long as those scholars are willing to settle in Lujiang, it's not a matter of time before they accept my recruitment?"

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, in my plan, I originally wanted to build a smaller library in the ten counties of Lujiang, or even every city in the entire Jiangdong. Each library sends a few books, that is the real benefit for the world's scholars..."

It may be that Zhang Yan felt a little excited when his ideas were acknowledged, so he couldn't help but say a few more words in this regard, and even brought up his future plans along the way.

But to his surprise, after hearing that he planned to build libraries all over the place, the literati present became unanimous.

……

"No!"

……

"My lord, don't do this!"

……
