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

Looking back to Zhou Yu, after several days of marching, he finally entered the territory of Wancheng on the afternoon of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in 188 AD.

It can be clearly seen in the field of vision that the not-too-tall city wall of Wancheng stands not far away, and although Zhou Yu is a little tired now because he did not choose to go back to his hometown in a horse-drawn carriage along the way, relatively speaking , What he saw and heard along the way also greatly satisfied his curiosity.

Not long ago, after several inquiries, he finally understood why there were so many people on the official roads of Lujiang River in the middle of winter.

At the same time, for those aristocratic families in the Central Plains that he ran into on the way back, Zhou Yu also knew the purpose of these people from the servants under their command.

If there were no accidents, it seems that these people came here just to join Zhang Yan, the current prefect of Lujiang.

He has heard this somewhat familiar name many times this year.

Just like those recorded in the classic stories passed down by the aristocratic family, compared with the previous ones, this prefect of Lujiang can be regarded as a model of diligence and love for the people.

Not only did he steadily control the people's livelihood in Lujiang, that is, the eternal problem of grain prices, but he also cleared up the banditry in Lujiang as soon as he had enough energy. Within a year, he was highly praised and loved by the people of Lujiang. Even the picky he could not help but recognize these achievements.

It's just that apart from these merits, some other behaviors of the prefect made Zhou Yu somewhat unclear.

……

"Name?"

……

"Nation?"

……

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Zhou family? I didn't recognize it just now, so I hope young master Zhou won't be offended!"

……

At the city gate, I displayed the identity certificate sent to me by my previous home. For a scholar like Zhou Yu, people like him can accept many relatively novel things very quickly. staff counseling.

It seems that in later generations, the advent of some electronic digital hardware, or things like health codes, are often the fastest accepted by the student community.

But what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that the official on duty at the city gate today happened to be an old acquaintance of his, a man from Shu County who had some relationship with his Zhou family, or a scholar who belonged to the Zhou family's circle of influence. .

On the one hand, he was surprised that his family actually spread its power to the border of Lujiang Wancheng. Zhou Yu straightened his clothes and took advantage of the people around him not paying attention, so he pulled the scholar from the same town aside and asked softly. stand up.

……

"Um, what, you asked about the big library?"

"Hey, you really deserve to be a descendant of Mr. Zhou. Even though you haven't stayed in our Lujiang for the past six months, the news is not lost at all!"

……

The little official looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, seeing that the other party asked about something, he didn't forget to flatter him.

And Zhou Yu frowned in displeasure, but he didn't say much, and urged the little official to get down to business. He still has a lot of things to do today.

Speaking of Zhou Yu, there are actually no major flaws in character, and he is not a master without emotional intelligence. At most, he is a little arrogant and looks down on others. This is also a common problem for children in their teens.

Regarding his own problem, after going out for half a year, he has already discovered something, and at the same time, he is silently making adjustments by himself.

It stands to reason that he would no longer dictate to this scholar who has some relationship with him like he is now.

It's just that just now, that person happened to violate his taboo, so Zhou Yu suddenly felt an unknown anger in his heart, and even his attitude became bad.

It can be said that Zhou Yu has been born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child. There is almost nothing to be picky about, whether it is his own talents or the social resources he can obtain.

It's just that such a proud son has a place in his heart that he has never shown, that is, the recognition and flattery of the people around him. Zhou Yu always hopes that they are out of their true talents and learning, not because of their true talents. Out of fear of his own family background, fear of his elders.

Even if he understands now, his so-called real talents and practical learning are just part of his family's learning. Without his rich family environment, it would be difficult for even him, Zhou Yu, to achieve what he is now...

But this is the spirit of youth, and it was precisely because Xiao Qiaoying approached him out of recognition of himself that he made Zhou Yu always look at him more.

Just now, the little official wanted to say something nice, and he opened his mouth to praise Zhou Yu's understanding of the news, but he couldn't die. He just said "a descendant of Mr. Zhou", and Zhou Yu was a His brows twitched.

It can be said that for the vast majority of children, especially those from adolescence to middle age, the last thing they want to hear is the statement "the child of XX". From their perspective, this is almost It is to attribute all their achievements to their origins and deny their efforts.

This is also a taboo that many people are very prone to in some interpersonal interactions in later generations.

From then on, Zhou Yu naturally felt that this person was not pleasing to the eye, but because of reality, he could only endure the displeasure in his heart to chat with him and inquire about news.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was a little displeased, the other party stopped making fun of himself and explained to him some information about the Lujiang University Library.

……

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, you don't know something. This big library was built by Zhang Taishou more than half a year ago, before we wiped out those Shanyue thieves."

"According to those colleagues from the Lujiang Propaganda Department, this large library is a place to collect all kinds of classics, and at the same time provide opportunities for scholars and even ordinary people from all over the world to read them."

……

"Oh. You said the Propaganda Department. The Propaganda Department is a bureaucratic department in Lujiang. It is a place that helps the prefect and the old man to publicize and explain something to the people. They can be regarded as my colleagues. I don't know the specifics."

First he explained something to Zhou Yu, and then he seemed to be afraid that the other party would not be clear, so he added relevant information about the Propaganda Department.

This time, without Zhou Yu's reminder, he took the initiative to bring back some topics that had strayed.

……

"Ahem, let's get back to the point. Zhang Taishou said this time that the big library is being built in Lujiang this time. He wants to collect books from poor families all over the world. Correspondingly, he is willing to donate the books in his home to the big library. No matter how much you donate, no matter whether you are born poor or noble, you can get the right to enter the big library for free in the future to browse the books."

"If this is not the case, according to the rules set by the prefect, this is a right that only locals who buy real estate in Lujiang are eligible to enjoy."

"So, Mr. Zhou, look at those guys who come here in a carriage in winter. In all likelihood, they are all here to donate books."

The scholar said with great certainty.

Chapter 35 Birth defects of character

While talking to Zhou Yu, the scholar took out a stack of records from the table, on which were densely recorded the names of aristocratic families from all over the country.

Seeing this, even Zhou Yu couldn't help showing a look of doubt on his face.

"Donate classics to scholars from all over the Han Dynasty, and then give them the right to freely read all the collected classics... Are you telling the truth?"

He muttered softly, and saw that he talked to himself for a while before raising his head and asking the scholar.

……

"Oh, I said it all, it was Zhang Taishou who said it, not me!"

"It's just two days before the big library will open. If you don't believe me, Mr. Zhou, why don't you just go and have a look?"

"The eunuch is diligent in government and loves the people, and he treats people with real talents with courtesy. Mr. Zhou, you have such a great reputation in our Jiangdong, but sometimes you want to apply for a public job in your hometown in Lujiang. The eunuch will definitely be willing to meet you. .”

Impatiently, he waved his hands. For some reason, after the scholar mentioned Zhang Yan, Zhou Yu inevitably hesitated with his high spirits.

You must know that the biggest difference between scholars and ordinary people is their heart. In this era, even scholars from small families will have a little arrogance in their hearts.

But the current appearance of the scholar is that Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, is a little trustworthy and obedient.

And such a performance is very difficult to appear when the gentry class is in contact with those in power.

For scholars, the object of their allegiance has never been the political power of the ruler, but their family.

Maybe in a short period of time, in order to get something, scholars will express their loyalty to those in power, but in the long run, the relationship between the two should actually be a kind of cooperation, not like the current celebrity In this way, he puts on a prefect who is heaven, and he looks very good in whatever he says and does.

If this is the case, what kind of family is the family, why not just change the name and call the emperor's lackey.

Seeing this person now, although Zhou Yu didn't say it directly, as a son of a family, especially a son with the right to inherit, Zhou Yu always felt that something bad was happening in Lujiang.

Suppressing the worry in his heart, after listening to the scholar at the gate of the city explaining the recent surge in the number of nobles in the Great Library and Lujiang, he had an idea in his heart, so he simply talked with the other party. Farewell, and walked into the interior of Wancheng.

It's like what the person said just now, it's useless for him to say more, it seems that some things are meaningful only after he has seen them with his own eyes.

The reason why he returned to his hometown in Lujiang before the Chinese New Year this time was that besides visiting his family, his main purpose was to see how sacred this so-called big library is, and whether he could do what Zhang Yan said. as unique.

Since the scholar also said just now that the big library will open in two days, he is not short of these two days. Zhou Yu naturally plans to stay in Wancheng for a few days temporarily, waiting for the big library to open. Now that the museum is open, let's go to see if this thing is really as mysterious as what he inquired about along the way.

On the other hand, it happened that he was familiar with Wancheng, and there were almost no families in Wancheng who didn't know him, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.

Staying here for the past two days, Zhou Yu can also invite all his former followers out to find out the actual situation of the prefect Zhang Yan with them.

Zhou Yu believed that ordinary people and the gentry saw people differently. The people loved a ruler who was good, but they might not be a good ruler for the gentry.

It just so happened that his attendants were also descendants of aristocratic families, so the news he got from these people was relatively more reliable for him.

As for those non-local gentry rushing to Lujiang, Zhou Yu could actually guess what they were thinking.It's nothing more than knowing the news that the big library will be opened through their own channels, and they want to establish a branch of their own family in Lujiang in advance through this matter, and even get a share of the dinner table of the Jiangdong gentry, so that this The wonders of this kind of online world books are not only used by Jiangdong people.

It's just that he is indeed a little noncommittal about the actions of these people.

No matter how you say it, no matter how much these outsiders want to get a piece of the pie, in this land of Lujiang, their Zhou family of three generations and three fathers is the well-deserved local snake.

If this big library really has as many books as Zhang Yan said, then the biggest beneficiaries of this matter can only be their Zhou family. Even if other people want to intervene, they are just clowns.

As for if this big library is just an empty shell, not as exaggerated as the other party said, then the current behavior of these people is just doing some useless work.

It can be said that, purely from the perspective of the aristocratic family, Zhou Yu doesn't really like things like big libraries from the bottom of his heart.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that he knows very well that the reason why their aristocratic families have been able to maintain such oppressive power over ordinary people for a long time, and have such a detached status in the Han Dynasty for a long time, is mainly because they own and inherit These books, or the various knowledge recorded in these books.

If one day, this knowledge is really made public to the public, then their aristocratic family will lose the most important thing that has maintained their status for a long time.

From this point of view, not to mention him, Zhou Yu, as long as he is any intelligent family member, he can see how dangerous this kind of thing is. At least on the bright side, he will not support such behavior.

But if you change your standpoint, as a scholar who is thirsty for knowledge, Zhou Yu knows too well what kind of fairyland this kind of building with a collection of [-] volumes is for them "scholars".

It was an existence that even if the two sides were at war, the leader or ruler of the other side would never dare to send troops to attack or destroy it easily.

As long as this big library exists for a day, as long as it is open to everyone in the world, if they don't want to arouse public anger, no one will take the initiative to attack here.

Not just those ordinary aristocratic families, even for him, Zhou Yu, this is no different.

If someone really wants to send troops to attack Lujiang at this time, and even destroy this big library, without the help of families from other counties in Jiangdong, his Zhou family must be the first to disagree.

After secretly making up his mind, Zhou Yu randomly found a restaurant to eat, and then temporarily lived in Wancheng.

Not only did he not choose to go straight to his hometown in Shu County this time, he even didn't spread the news of his return to prevent his perception from being affected. that day.

As for the Qiao family... He naturally didn't visit.

Up to now, he already knew that his original behavior was wrong, but he was a young man after all, even so, Zhou Yu still couldn't let go of his face, and didn't want to just visit Qiao's house like this.

He is still waiting, until he really does what he said at the beginning. Only in this way can he calmly face those who have looked directly at his dark history.

Chapter 36 Establishment of the Great Library

In this way, after several days, the Lujiang County Great Library was finally completed under the attention of countless people.

At the same time, with Zhang Yan's operations and the cooperation of Lujiang's big and small families, a large number of books were copied in this way, and then placed in the public exhibition area of ​​the large library.
