Xiao Yan fought against everyone in the Lu family alone, scolding them into silence. Lu Chongyuan's face became paler and paler, and he had to be supported by someone to prevent him from fainting.
Inside, Cao Dejiang and others were calmly picking out books. More and more boxes were placed in front of the hospital. Canglang and Jinyun led people to seal the books in the boxes, and let the black armored guards move in and out. Carrying the packed box.
The front door of the Lu family was crowded with students who were watching the excitement. When they saw the books that were moved out and the boxes that were stacked more and more, everyone became excited.
"These are the books in the Lu family's collection?"
"It must be the case. Just now, the Lord of Yiyang County led Mr. Cao and others in. I saw that there were many adults from the court. They said they were all here to help the Lord of Yiyang select books. These must be the Lu family's debts. Those collections of books.”
"Why so many? Even if there are dozens of books in one box, how many boxes can be packed?"
The boxes that were being carried out one after another almost filled the long alley, and there were hundreds of them just at random.
"I heard that the Lu family lost half of their book collection. The family has accumulated it for hundreds of years, and the Lu family claims to have a collection of 100,000 volumes. Even half of it is still 50,000 to 60,000 volumes."
hiss--
The students in the crowd watching the excitement couldn't help but gasp, and then their eyes turned red when they looked at the carriages filled with boxes.
This is a collection of books from aristocratic families. It is a sacred object that they could not touch in the past. It is also a book that they cannot find outside. If it were not for the black armored guards with heavy helmets and swords and the people from the Beijing Patrol Camp guarding the carriage, These people couldn't wait to pounce on it and take it for themselves.
People like them who come from humble backgrounds will only see no more than a hundred volumes of books in their lifetime. If they are lucky enough to win the favor of some powerful people, they may be able to read more, but even if they are more, they will only be able to read more than a thousand volumes.
There are so many books, I don’t know how long it will take just to read them all.
"I heard that Yiyang County is mainly planning to build an academy in the city. In the future, all these books will be sent to the academy for students to borrow."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. If it's fake, how can the adults in the court help?"
"Yes, your majesty even gave you a stele of literary virtues and a collection of hundreds of books in the palace. I heard that Governor Xiao had surrounded a large area of land in the south of the city and found the people who built the yamen in the capital to set up the site. Soon he would We are going to build an academy.”
The people around them couldn't help but boil when they heard this. They didn't dare to snatch these books, and they didn't have the ability to snatch them back. However, the head of Yiyang County always planned to build an academy for the admissions staff.
If they could enter the academy and worship inside, wouldn't they be able to borrow the books from these aristocratic families at will?
Most students couldn't help but be tempted, but some were hesitant: "But the mayor of Yiyang County is a woman after all. Although she has good intentions in planning to build an academy, will there be any professors in the academy by then?"
"Yes, she has offended the aristocratic family. If she enters the academy, will she still be able to succeed if the aristocratic family holds a grudge?"
The crowd fell silent, and for a moment someone sneered: "You sound like you can get ahead without entering the academy."
"The aristocratic family has monopolized the academic path for many years, and there is no place for a poor student to stand in the court. Unless you beg for mercy with them, and are willing to give up your reputation and join the aristocratic family to become their disciple, how can they allow you to get ahead?"
The so-called clear-minded people in the court today are actually people from well-off families, or they have some connections to get into official positions. They are really from poor families and rely on their own talents to learn to walk in front of the saints and become famous in the court. Except for those generals who came out of the battlefield by fighting, there were not even a few civil servants in Beijing.
The person who spoke earlier looked pale, but the person who refuted him later had a solemn expression.
"It's not easy for students from poor families like us to get ahead. Now the Lord of Yiyang County is willing to build an academy, risking offending aristocratic families, to give us poor people another way to advance."
"With Governor Xiao's protection and His Majesty's decree, what can a noble family do? If they can block the court, can they block the hearts of students all over the world?"
The speaker's back was straight, but his ordinary face seemed to be covered with a layer of light, making people unable to help but pay attention.
"Besides, there are so many books in the academy, and there are also literary and moral monuments. If a literary name can be left in the academy, it will not be directly valued by His Majesty. Moreover, the head of Yiyang County is a descendant of the Rong family and a disciple of Taifu Rong. All over the world, why worry about not inviting a great scholar to teach? I'm afraid that when the academy is built, the number of gentlemen who want to enter will be overwhelming."
"I don't know what you think. Anyway, I am grateful to the Lord of Yiyang County for standing up for students like me. When the academy is built, I will definitely be the first to sign up for admission. Even if I really don't have a teacher to teach me, I can borrow these rare books." It’s worth it.”
“Who says you can’t become talented through self-study?”
The students who were hesitant at first were all moved, and even some gentlemen from other schools who were watching secretly had their expressions change slightly.
Yes, the Yiyang County Master's college is not worried about the number of students at all. With the temptation of these collections of books and literary monuments, it is not afraid that it will not be able to attract famous scholars to teach.
They originally wanted to wait and see to see if the Aristocratic Family would take action to regain their position after suffering a loss, but now they are afraid that others will take the lead if they are too late.
Many people had their thoughts moved and left quickly, thinking that they would submit their posts to Jiuyun Lane later in the day and get their academy places earlier, and they could not let others grab the opportunity first.
Jinyun stood in front of the Lu family's house, watching the people around him fluctuate, and glanced at the person in the crowd who had just spoken.
The man nodded in this direction without leaving any trace, and then disappeared quietly into the crowd.
…
The Lu family's affairs attracted the attention of the entire capital, and naturally there were also discussions in the prison.
"Have you heard that the Secretary-General of the Lu family has been ill for several days? The Lu family is also notorious, but Mrs. Song in Jiuyun Lane has been made the county head."
"County Lord?"
"Yes, the Lord of Yiyang County has fiefdom and food, and there are not many in the capital..."
"Oh my god, that's really on the branches. Before, I didn't know how many people said that they would regret it if they destroyed the Song Dynasty Duke's mansion and lost their protection. But now, look at it, the Yiyang County Lord is more noble than the legitimate daughter of the Song family, Lao Shizi. A lot."
"No, that's a real title, not to mention the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion... Hey!"
The person who spoke curled his lips, his words full of disdain: "Then the Song family has been sealed up, and all the Song family members are in prison. If they are returned to the Duke's Mansion, I don't know if they can save their lives."
He glanced at the end of the dark corridor and shook his head. It is said that things in the capital are unpredictable, and the changes in power can happen in an instant.
Who would have thought that the Duke's Mansion, which was so prominent just over a month ago, would be in such a state in such a short time. Thinking of the misery of those in the Song family, he sighed:
"This man really can't do evil things. God still has eyes."
Several jailers left chatting, but in the dark prison at the end of the corridor, some people couldn't help but raise their heads.
Song Jinxiu was confused and murmured in a low voice:
"Yiyang... County Lord?"
