Luoyang.
The first public library of the Wei Dynasty first appeared in Luoyang.
The location is a huge courtyard in the east city of Luoyang.
This courtyard was purchased by Wang Rong.
The location is very good, and the scale is even bigger. There are eight branches inside. To say it is overstepping is an understatement!
After Wang Rong was arrested, the place was taken over by the temple. Cao Mao found that the location was good and the interior decoration was excellent, so he simply made it the first library of the Wei Dynasty.
Even Cao Mao personally named this public library, teaching people without distinction.
After it was simplified, it became a teaching residence.
At this moment, Cao Mao was standing in the distance, wearing ordinary clothes and a gray face. He stood beside the carriage and secretly looked at the place.
Zhang Hua, who was also dressed as a poor man, stood beside Cao Mao and looked into the distance together.
If you go to the private sector for a private visit, you can bring Sima Yan with you, but in such a gathering place for scholars, you cannot bring him with you.
His features were too obvious, with long flowing hair and hands above his knees. Sima Yan was the only one in Luoyang with such an appearance, and he couldn't hide it no matter what.
Take him and stand here, no one can tell their identities.
Cao Mao fully absorbed his previous experiences and carefully disguised himself. With the eunuch's "make-up skills", Cao Mao finally looked a little more ordinary. As long as you didn't stare at him, you wouldn't see any clues.
It seems that Cao Mao is still inferior to Pei Kai. No matter how he dresses up, Pei Kai will be recognized and watched wherever he goes.
Cao Mao actually felt Pei Kai's pain.
The social atmosphere of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was open, the scholars were willful, and etiquette was broken. Women were as bold and lively as Zheng Xian, and they were basically unrestrained.
When Cao Mao was walking on the road, he would often encounter women who would kindly stop him and invite him to go on outings.
Well, this is not limited to women, but even more so to men.
Zhang Hua often followed the emperor around these days, and he saw this situation many times.
At this moment, the two of them secretly observed the situation in the distance.
"What happened over there? Why are there so many people?"
Two people dressed as businessmen came to the side.
They stared into the distance, and one of them asked suspiciously.
The other one raised his head and said, "You don't even know this. There has been a lot of commotion in Luoyang these days. Are you the only one who doesn't know?"
"This is a teaching-free residence!"
"What mansion??"
"It's the place where books are stored, the emperor's library!"
The short merchant was very surprised, "Why are the emperor's books brought here?"
"Now His Majesty has said that he will take out his collection of books, copy them and distribute them to all parts of the world, so that everyone in the world can read the books. In the future, these books will not be considered treasures and everyone can read them. And, there’s no fee!”
The short merchant shook his head when he heard this.
"As expected of the Holy Emperor, he showed his collection of books to the world. I have never heard of such a thing, but he didn't even charge a fee. There is no distinction between education and distinction. It is true that there is no distinction between education and distinction!"
"Now that the Holy Emperor is alive, hahaha, the Wei Dynasty will definitely prosper, and our lives will be much better. Let's collect more this time."
The two chatted and walked past Cao Mao and Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty's reputation among the people is really getting bigger and bigger. It seems that even the Emperor Ming has been surpassed by you. Now everyone in the world knows that you hate corrupt officials and do not allow officials to prey on the people. Luoyang Everyone inside says good things about you."
There was no joy on Cao Mao's face.
Zhang Hua raised his head and looked at the scholars, and said helplessly: "It's a pity that it's not the case in front of these scholars."
"These people are ignorant. Although they don't say anything with their mouths, they are resentful in their hearts. If they incite public opinion among the people,"
Cao Mao grinned.
"What you are talking about is something that the former Han and the later Han should worry about."
During the Han Dynasty, scholars had great influence in the local area and dominated public opinion. What they said was believed by the common people.
After all, the scholars at that time were moral models for the world and were deeply trusted by the people in all aspects.
But now
Do you expect the local people to believe a group of scholars who either ran naked or bullied them after being dismissed? ? ?
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, scholars were almost out of touch with the common people.
Representatives of the common people in the Han Dynasty, such as the three elders, were respected by the scholars and received extremely high treatment. However, the three elders in the Wei Dynasty were scolded as dead if they wanted to say hello to the officials.
The common people of the Han Dynasty would follow the celebrities to rebel, while the common people of the Wei and Jin Dynasty would follow the barbarians to rebel.
Therefore, Cao Mao was not worried at all about what disturbance the scholars might cause in the local area.
Let's talk about Wang Rong's incident this time. The celebrities were shocked. The scholars were walking around, and the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest couldn't sit still. But what about the people? No impact whatsoever.
I heard that a famous person was arrested for corruption, and the people cheered.
Cao Mao chatted with Zhang Hua.
At this moment, the door of the library was finally opened, and at this moment, a large group of people poured into the library.
The first few people to go in were followed by servants. They were all dressed in brocade and their faces were full of nobility. They walked swaggering at the front.
Needless to say, these are all children of a wealthy family, the biggest ones.
What are those people whose surnames are Xun, Sima, Cui, Pei and Wang?
The others didn't dare to get close and just watched them go in first.
After these rich family members entered, several slaves blocked the door.
"Everyone, my gentleman doesn't like making noise. You can wait a moment."
A man stood at the door and said loudly.
At this moment, Zhang Hua saw that the emperor's face instantly turned gloomy.
The scholars who were blocked out were probably not in a good mood at the moment. Several people from wealthy families came forward to talk. I don't know what they said, but the servant let them in.
As for those children from poor families, they just looked at this scene and dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.
This is even within Luoyang! ! !
Zhang Hua looked at Cao Mao's angry face and immediately felt something was wrong.
Zhang Hua was not opposed to getting rid of these insects, but Zhang Hua really didn't want his emperor to get a bad name. He immediately waved behind him, and soon, Cheng Ji appeared in front of him.
"Jun Zhang?"
Zhang Hua said: "Bring a few people and come with me!"
He looked at Cao Mao on the side and said, "Your Majesty, please come forward and let me handle this matter."
Cao Mao pursed his lips and said, "Okay."
Zhang Hua immediately led the people over.
Zhang Hua led Cheng Ji and others, separated the crowd in front of them, and finally reached the front.
The servant looked at Zhang Hua in front of him.
What these people are best at is observing words and emotions.
Although Zhang Hua was dressed very poorly, when he looked at him, there was no fear in his eyes, but a kind of contempt. There were even many slaves and guards behind him.
At this moment, the person blocking the way suddenly understood that this must be a child of some wealthy family.
He smiled and moved slightly out of the way.
"Gentleman, do you want to go in?"
Zhang Hua glanced at him and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
The servant who was extremely powerful just now lowered his head with a smile on his face, "Of course I don't dare to ruin your pleasure. Please come in."
Zhang Hua laughed, "That's right, Chengjun, please go in and tie up those people inside and drag them out!!"
Cheng Ji was overjoyed and immediately led the people and rushed in.
The servant was shocked when he heard this and wanted to stop him, but Chengji kicked him down.
Zhang Hua was standing here. Several slaves had been knocked down by the soldiers. Everything that happened here attracted many scholars to watch, but no one took the initiative to participate.
Zhang Hua just waited for a moment and saw the scholars being escorted out of the library.
There are even a few officials who are like this.
Cheng Ji walked out with a sneer, "These dog thieves actually dare to insult me, and those few who work here want to be dogs for these dog thieves."
"I brought them out together!"
Zhang Hua looked at those people coldly.
And these people are sharp-eyed, and several of them actually know Zhang Hua.
"Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun! Why is this? We are just here to study!"
Zhang Huaren pinned them to the ground. Although they were still struggling, they could not get up.
"Your Majesty established the Education without Classification Mansion just to enable everyone in the world to study and be educated without class! This is the reason!"
"You actually dare to send people to block the door. What kind of dogs are you? Are you worthy of disobeying His Majesty's order?!"
Zhang Hua asked angrily.
When those few people saw Zhang Hua carrying the emperor out, they had no way to refute.
"Zhang Jun! We don't know these things, it's all the evil slave's own decision!!"
After their conversation, the scholars gathered outside probably knew the situation.
They looked at each other for a few times, and there was even some joy in their eyes.
Zhang Hua said loudly: "Your Majesty has taken out his own collection of books for the sake of the scholars in the world. This is not something that anyone can violate. These people openly violated the emperor's edict and should be beheaded according to the law, but considering their first offense , everyone gets twenty again!!”
Zhang Hua looked at Cheng Ji again, and Cheng Ji forced these people to the ground, then found wooden sticks from nowhere and started beating them.
These people obviously couldn't bear the beating. After being beaten several times, they were immediately dying.
After all these people were beaten, Zhang Hua said: "From now on, these people are not allowed to come to the library again, and they are not allowed to enter again within a year!"
"In the future, if anyone dares to do such a thing again and prevent others from studying, he will be punished for the crime of disobeying the edict and be forced to abandon the market!!"
Suddenly, the scholars standing opposite thanked him loudly.
Not all scholars have to be suppressed. Those middle and lower class scholars from poor families and common people are the ones who can be won over.
Zhang Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. When he raised his head to look for the emperor, he found that the emperor had already left here.
