This is a big event for Yan'er, how can we let the villagers bear the cost?

We will pay whatever amount is due.”

In fact, he really wanted to tell Gu Tai that their family is very wealthy now!

Over the past few years, all the family businesses have been thriving and going smoothly. They are no longer the ordinary Gu family of the past!

Seeing this, Gu Tai couldn't help but muttered unhappily: "Uncle knows that your family is rich now, but this is a token of our kindness!

This resolution had been agreed upon and passed long ago.

You know, in all these years of our prosperous Tang Dynasty, there has only been one number one scholar, Yan Ge'er!

From now on, our prosperous Tang Dynasty will never be the same as it was in the past! "

Nowadays, whenever they take the fresh vegetables and poultry they grow and raise to the market to sell, as soon as they say they are from the hometown of the top scholar, the buyers will not even lower the price and will buy them up without hesitation.

It’s strange to say, for some reason, everyone seemed to have an inexplicable mysterious confidence, firmly believing that the dishes from the top scholar’s ​​hometown must be exceptionally delicious.

Because of this, no matter where people in the village go now, they will feel their faces are more radiant, and even their backs will unconsciously straighten up.

Faced with such a situation, Gu Cheng really couldn't refuse, so after returning home that night, he happily told his family the good news.

After hearing this, Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Second Uncle, since things have developed to this point, let's follow what Uncle said."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. When he was about to ask, he heard Gu Yan continue: "But, we can make up for it in other ways when the time comes."

Gu Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Brother Yan, do you have an idea?"

Seeing this, Wang and Gu Qingzhi on the side also looked at Gu Yan, their eyes full of curiosity, and they couldn't wait to know what his plan was.

Gu Yan replied in a leisurely and orderly manner: "Uncle, Aunt, my plan is to build a library for our village and donate a large number of books to it."

After hearing these words, Gu Qingzhi suddenly realized the truth. She finally understood the real reason why Tianji had been busy collecting all kinds of books for some time. It turned out that he wanted to successfully build a library in the village!

Is it really so?

At this moment, Gu Cheng was so excited that he clenched his fists, because only he knew best that as a scholar, if the village could have a library of its own, it would bring great significance and value.

Others may not fully understand this, but he knows it very well!

There are countless students from poor families who are unable to advance to a higher level simply because they are slightly inferior to the children of aristocrats in knowledge.

The bottom line is that books today are too expensive for the average family to afford.

Moreover, some books are hard to find even in ordinary bookstores.

Many unique and extremely rare books are often only circulated within aristocratic families, and ordinary people have no chance to see them.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng simply couldn't imagine what kind of earth-shaking changes it would bring about in the future if such a magnificent library could be built during the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

This library may attract all the scholars from the entire Pengze County, and possibly even the entire Jiangzhou, to the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

As someone who had been to school, Wang knew this very well, but she still looked hesitant and said slowly, "I'm afraid this library is too conspicuous.

After all, everyone knows how precious books are. Can a library of this size be protected in our small Tang Dynasty?

To be more precise, I am really worried that this library will bring unnecessary disasters, and in the end, not only will it be of no benefit, but it may even bring us great disasters!"

In the face of these doubts raised by Wang, Gu Yan had actually already thought them over carefully.

He spoke slowly and clearly, explaining what he had in mind one by one.

It turned out that Gu Yan had already made some plans for this matter before.

It is necessary to formulate a complete and reasonable library borrowing system.

Moreover, there are two rules: first, anyone who wants to consult, borrow or copy books can only do so inside the attic and is absolutely not allowed to take the books out of the library;

Secondly, everyone who came to borrow books had to leave a handwritten copy.

Hearing this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "Hmm? Why do you do this?"

After a brief pause, Gu Yan explained with a smile:

"In this way, there will be more and more books in our library, which is one of the benefits!

In addition, this is also to ensure that the library can maintain normal operation."

It can eliminate the interruptions from boring people.

Hearing this, Gu Cheng thought for a moment and instantly understood the deep meaning behind it. He could not help but nod and praise: "This is really wonderful! It's really a great idea!"

However, he immediately raised another question: "What if someone comes to borrow books without a handwritten copy? Or what if they can't write? We can't stop them from borrowing books, right?"

Gu Yan had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and he answered confidently:

"If this happens, let them compensate by doing work.

In short, the books in our library cannot be borrowed for free. Even the kind and honest folks in the prosperous Tang Dynasty must abide by this rule. "

Wang, who was standing aside and listening quietly to the conversation between the two, also interrupted to express his agreement:

“I think this plan is pretty good!

As long as everyone works together to maintain our library, it will surely be able to develop for a long time."

At this time, Gu Cheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "Well, my second uncle actually has a collection of books as well.

During this time, I will try to find time to organize them into some manuscripts. "
