I thought about how many things I had to do for the young men from aristocratic families just to borrow a book when I was studying.

After finally borrowing the book, I copied it all night and read it without sleep, wishing it could be engraved in my mind.

One time, he was so engrossed in reading that he forgot to return the book at the appointed time, so the gentleman brought someone to beat him at home.

His house was smashed up and he was beaten with bruises all over his body. If it was just like this, he could still endure it, but it was true that he had lost track of time.

But the young master lit a brazier and burned the book in front of him.

He also told other families not to lend him books. Even if he begged hard, he couldn't borrow a book.

They don't care about a book, they just don't want poor students like themselves to have the opportunity to read a book.

Books, in the eyes of scholars, are the most precious treasures in the world.

The book has its own golden house, the book has its own beauty like jade, the book has its own thousand bells of millet...

Mr. Pang said in a very affirmative tone:

"If there really is such a Pavilion of Ten Thousand Books in Youzhou, where students and scholars can read freely, I think all the children from poor families in the world will come to Youzhou like monks on pilgrimage."

To be honest, after hearing what Mr. Pang said, Shen Dongsu didn't feel much happy, but instead felt sad and regretful.

Think about the past life, there were libraries everywhere, and there were more than ten thousand books in them! Thousands of volumes are no problem.

From the state to society to families, there is no one who does not support students’ study.

The Internet is more developed. If you read something you don’t understand, you can look it up casually. Knowledge is cheaper than cabbage.

In this era, books were extremely expensive and rare, educational resources were controlled by nobles, and ordinary people wanted to study and gain fame.

The training he went through was not much easier than that of Monk Tang.

At this time, Mr. Pang added: "However, it is not easy to borrow books from the nobles."

Shen Dongsu nodded and said: "I have thought of this a long time ago. In fact, I have prepared this plan a long time ago."

"As early as when I opened a printing workshop in Chang'an, I asked the Jiang family, Aunt Ji and other people who stayed in Chang'an to help me stock up on books."

"In addition, the Jiang family is in Jiangnan, and they also secretly store books."

"The reason why I ask the ladies to go home and ask for books with such great fanfare is to spread this matter all over the world."

"Let the world see the selfishness of the nobles. The nobles have always looked down on students from poor families, and students from poor families have to rely on them to study."

"But if students from poor families unite and break the education monopoly of the gentry, I believe that the gentry will surely decline in a few years."

Mr. Pang looked up at Shen Dongsu and asked softly: "Is this the prince's idea?"

Shen Dongsu told the truth: "It was our idea."

That was the princess's idea.

Mr. Pang also regrets it now. He regrets that he actually persuaded the prince to take the noble girl as his concubine in order to win over the northern nobles.

I once heard the prince say that a princess is better than a hundred thousand troops.

Although he agreed with the princess's intelligence, he also felt that the prince's words were obviously a compliment to his wife.

But now, he realized that he was the one responsible for spying.

When he first met the princess, he thought she was a pond, but later he realized it was a lake. But now, he realized that he had underestimated the princess.

The princess' talent is obviously an endless river!

No wonder the prince is so relieved to go on the expedition, even if the princess is pregnant, he still lets the princess manage Youzhou City.

With a wife like this, why should the prince worry about not being able to make contributions!

With only Wan Shuge's proposal, Mr. Pang officially became the second Ling Moxiao. No matter what the princess said, he would agree with her.

Wanshu Pavilion is still just a planning project, and Mr. Pang has already found a location in the city to build it.

Because this is not just a library, but also a place for students to eat and sleep, the territory given by Shen Dongsu is particularly large.

Of course, this is also the reason why Youzhou City is large and there are few people. There is land everywhere in the city, so there is no need to worry about wasting land.

She thought of Qinghua University in her previous life, and built it on one-tenth of the land, which was five hundred acres.

In addition to Wanshu Pavilion, there are also colleges, dormitories, canteens, and a street of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

The scenery is pretty good, and it has to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it one of the scenic spots in Youzhou City.

It's in the main city, close to the palace, government offices and hospitals.

Mr. Pang was very anxious about the construction of Wanshu Pavilion.

As if he wanted to make up for his younger self, he wished he could be in a room full of books with bright and clean windows.

You don’t have to worry about being begged for books or being beaten, you don’t have to worry about missing work to earn food rations, you can read as much as you want.

There are also three or five friends who can discuss problems together, and there are knowledgeable teachers who can ask questions.

Even if it was Cheng Menlixue, he would be happy with it.

This is how people are, they are never satisfied.

Moreover, Mr. Pang felt that the princess had opened another door for him, taking him to a world that he had never dared to imagine.

If Youzhou City can really build a college and a Pavilion of Ten Thousand Books for the children of poor families, then Pang Qingquan.

It can be considered as doing a good deed for scholars all over the world, and I will have no regrets in this life!

He thought that being able to follow the prince and make achievements in this life would be a great blessing in his life.

Unexpectedly, he could do another thing that was equally meaningful or even more valuable.

He even understood why the prince was dismissive of wooing the northern nobles. Yes, why should he woo them?

Why can't we defeat them and replace them?

The prince wants to kill the foreign enemies, and it is up to him and the princess to deal with the internal enemies.

Shen Dongsu saw that Mr. Pang was so concerned about the construction of Wanshu Pavilion, so he gave him full authority to handle it.

She wrote to Mrs. Jiang and Butler Liu that the books she had stored before could be sent to Youzhou.

They also asked the two of them to spread the word that King Ling would build Wanshu Pavilion in Youzhou. No matter what status or class you have, as long as you come to Youzhou, you can go in and read.

Just like she has a threshold for people to obtain Youzhou household registration, she feels that things obtained for free will not be taken seriously.

She discussed with Mr. Pang that Wanshu Pavilion was indeed free of charge, but it could not be free either.

That is, students who come to borrow books can borrow books for free for one month if they copy a book and give it back to the library.

The bookstore even provides pens, ink, paper and inkstones. She asked Mr. Pang if this condition was harsh?

Mr. Pang's eyes were red, as if he was recalling his study experience when he was young.

He said with certainty: "It's not harsh at all! Even if you can copy a book and read it for three days for free, students from poor families will be very grateful."

To build a college, it is definitely not enough to have books alone, you must also have teachers.

She could not think of hiring that bachelor at the moment, except asking the Jiang family and Butler Liu to hire someone in the Central Plains.

She believed that by building the Phoenix Tower and weaving gold, the Phoenix would come.

After the book pavilion is built, Youzhou City will no longer be intimidating to people. It is a bitter cold city on the border, and the master and students will naturally come.

In addition, if she buys horse bones for a thousand dollars, she will definitely treat him favorably as the first bachelor who takes the initiative to come to Youzhou.

Three days later, she asked people to prepare gifts to send the ladies home, and everyone had a month's leave.

She doesn't put pressure on the ladies. It doesn't matter if you can't borrow books at home. You can just buy some books from bookstores in the city.
