The Xingqingfu Library occupied a warehouse, so it was quite spacious. The craftsmen also changed the windows of the house and replaced the interior and exterior window screens to make the inside and out, making the inside very bright.

There is a short counter in the entrance, and there is a county student sitting behind him, sorting out booklets and managing all books.

Le Dong, the library manager, introduced that this location is very complicated, including handling borrowing and returning books, statistical classification of books, managing membership, registering and typing new or newly copied books, etc., which are also important positions in the library.

However, this little boy with the registered name... Fang Chang felt very familiar.

When the other party raised their heads and looked at him, Fang Chang recognized the other party and smiled and said, "You are...'equivalent exchange'? Why are you not in Huaifeng Mansion and come to Xingqing Mansion?"

The boy who managed the books was also surprised when he saw Fang Chang and quickly recognized him. It seemed that he still remembered the experience of being beaten by a ruler at that time.

He said with a young and old voice, "It's you! Fortunately."

"It's me." Fang Chang saw the boy opposite, and spoke like an adult in a tone that was inconsistent with his age, with a bit funny feeling, and couldn't help but smile.

As if memories were evoked, the little boy waved his hand and felt a little embarrassed:

"At that time, I was young and ignorant. I had a deviation in understanding the content taught by my husband, so I did such a crazy thing. I hope you will forgive me."

"Haha, it's not a blame, it's very interesting." Fang Chang smiled, then took out a bunch of candy from the package and handed it to the child, "This is for you."

The little boy bowed and took it: "The elder dare not refuse, thank you for yourselves."

The child in front of him happily took the paper bag, but after opening it, he felt a little worried because he couldn't eat in the library.

Fang Chang laughed and continued to ask, "I haven't said it just now, why have you arrived in Xingqing Mansion?"

"Mr. said that he had taught me everything he knew, and there was no other thing to teach. Forcibly occupying a place was a waste of resources, so he resigned and left."

"But before the gentleman left, I recommended two young and old Mr. Jian to me, and I brought my teacher's letter to Xingqing Prefecture and County School to study."

Le Dong, who was accompanying him, smiled and said, "Yes, my junior brother is actually a transfer student. Not long ago, he suddenly came to the classroom to find the teacher with a letter. Then the teacher read the letter and accepted him."

Fang Chang nodded and asked the little boy: "My surname is Fang, you can call me Mr. Fang. What's your name?"

The little boy looked at the senior brother who was accompanying Fang Chang, raised his head and replied, "My name is Lu Shaoyuan. It turns out that your surname is Fang. Are you going to visit the library?"

"Yes, I passed by Xingqing Prefecture City and met two Mr. Jian. I learned about the deeds of this 'Xingqing Prefecture Library' from them. I was a little curious and came over to take a look."

Lu Shaoyuan said excitedly:

"Ha, in my opinion, this library is a good place, and it can even be said to be the best in the world. Although I am still young, I have never heard of anything like this, whether it is from books or from the narratives of teachers, relatives and friends."

"It's like there are many places to collect books, but like here, it's open for everyone to see, and there are perfect management rules, but none of them are there."

"In the library, as long as the conditions meet, anyone can obtain the qualification to read books and treat them equally; in the library, rare books will be copied, engraved and printed, and spread throughout the world; in the library, the number of books that can be borrowed is also increasing as they are copied and purchased."

"This is really a good place for learning. I hope that after Mr. Fang left Xingqing Mansion, he would promote it more. This kind of good place should not be buried."

Seeing the excitement of the little boy Lu Shaoyuan, Fang Chang nodded and agreed.

Ledong next to him said:

"Junior Brother Lu is very outstanding. Not long after he came, he made a big splash in the county school, which made his senior brothers admire him. Just as the teacher began to build the Xingqing Mansion Library, the junior brother was very interested in this, so he took the lead in applying to work here."

"It's just because of my age, the gentleman only asked him to register here and did not do a manager. The gentlemen chose this managerial position and finally asked me to take care of it for the time being. But I will take the exam next year, and I don't know who I can hand it over to."

The two walked into the inside, Ledong made his voice lighter and whispered to Fang Chang to introduce the surrounding furnishings and the classification of books. Fortunately, Fang Chang never had any sound when walking, so he would not disturb the people who were holding books inside to read.

The open space in the library is filled with rows of bookshelves.

These bookshelfs... look familiar. It seems that when the county government sent someone to the Jian brothers to move books, the bookshelf did not fall down and was moved together.

Each of them is mottled, as if they have experienced all the vicissitudes of life. Although they are worn out, they seem to give people a solemn and sacred feeling.

However, the gap between these bookshelfs filled with books is much more spacious than when they were at the Jane brothers' home.

When these books were at the home of the Jane brothers, due to the large number and the small area, only one person was allowed to pass sideways in the middle. Now they have moved to the library and they have become wider, allowing three people to move side by side in the middle.

In this way, many scholars took mats or stools and sat on the ground under the bookshelf, chanting silently without making a sound.

There were several tables next to the house, which were found by the county government from the warehouse and were moved to use.

Since reading books in the library, in addition to paying fees, you also have to copy books of varying numbers. In addition, the books here are not allowed to be borrowed for the time being, and several tables are all subscribed, and there is a shortage of supply.

Ledong told Fang Chang that the library is starting to solve this problem.

They planned to break through the wall between the empty house next to it and the house, put tables and chairs in the house next to it, and set up a reading area.

People seem to be very efficient in copying books. The two empty bookshelfs next to each other and those in the middle book collection area have completely different styles, and some newly bound books have been placed on them.

According to Ledong, there are also some top figures in the city who are planning to donate books to Xingqing Mansion Library, but it has not yet been decided and the books have not yet been in place.

After walking around, Fang Chang took Ledong out of the library's house and came to the yard.

He took off the package on his shoulder, reached out to take out a piece of silver, and said to Ledong:

"This library is really wonderful and has a long experience. Since I have come, I will leave something. I have no books to donate, but the money to the library is all used to buy books and enrich the collection. Please remember the purpose."

…………

...

In the next few days, Fang Chang went to the enrollment place every day. He was very interested in school enrollment and went there for three consecutive days.

The Jian brothers also learned about Fang Chang's donation and thanked him very much.

However, Fang Chang didn't care. The silver was just picked up by him when digging copper mines. It was not difficult to obtain, and there was no need to search specifically. Since he had found the use, it was a good thing.

There were many people who came to queue up every day for three days, and the registration book was almost filled with the second book.

Fang Chang looked at the square table busy registering in the open space in front, and asked Jian Zhengchu next to him: "I don't know, where can I get lotus seeds in Xingqing Prefecture City?"
