The library soon became a situation where the queues were full every day. Many people started queuing up before the door opened every morning. If it weren’t for not allowing food in the library, many people would probably have eaten in the library with steamed buns.

It is precisely because of this requirement that poor students who come in to study will choose to read a little longer, until the afternoon, they can't stand their hunger and leave. Or, just drink more water in this library. There are free cold-boiled products in this library, and many people choose to drink more water to fill their hunger.

Not long after the Wanmin Library opened, many poor students lined up to go, and Li Ru also knew about it. Therefore, Li Ru also planned to invite Yang Yichuan to visit the Wanmin Library together.

Yang Yichuan had been there once, but Yang Yichuan still couldn't refuse Li Ru's invitation, so he had to accompany Li Ru to go on a trip and explain to Li Ru.

Yang Yichuan accompanied Li Ru to the library. At this time, the library's air conditioner has been turned on a small part, making the library cooler.

Li Ru, who had just entered the library, was stunned, looked at Yang Yichuan and asked, "This is the air conditioner?"

"Yes, the entire library has a lot of air conditioners, and of course, there are heaters to ensure that winter and summer are cool. Now, only two or three air conditioners are turned on."

Li Ru didn't know what to say, was a prodigal family? Or was he rich and willful? Or something else. However, these were all made by Yang Yichuan. Every time Yang Yichuan made good things, he would give him some, and Li Ru also enjoyed it.

In this library, Li Ru saw the students reading books on the first floor. It is not allowed to copy them at all in this place, mainly to protect the books. If there are pens, carbon pens, etc., Yang Yichuan can feel at ease to copy them.

However, in this relatively tight place, reading is still the main thing. The students here are also very careful. This is why the study time in the morning and the remaining half day to review can improve learning efficiency.

Yang Yichuan and Li Ru walked in the quiet library, and they lowered their voices when they spoke. Li Ru looked at the bookshelf, and they all had categories. Li Ru saw the name "Story of Strange Stories from the Strange Stories of a Chinese Studio" from the novel "Story of a Chinese Studio". Li Ru also knew that many of the plays performed in Xihe Theater were all stories in "Story of a Chinese Studio".

In addition, Li Ru also saw many works by great scholars. There are more than one book here, but there are still several books, so that they can meet the needs of several people at the same time.

Li Ru was not only reading books, but also watching these students study hard and looking very quiet. Li Ru felt a lot of emotion.

"If there are such libraries all over the world, then I'm afraid that poor students will have more hope."

"I have also said that this is not only for poor students, but for all the people. In the future, not only scholars can come in to read books. People of any age, no matter what professional status, can understand books and find the books they want to read. That is the ultimate goal."

Li Ru smiled without refuting. He knew that the ultimate goal was still too far away. The situation in the library now made Li Ru very satisfied.

"Your Highness, do you plan to build this library of similar size in four urban areas?"

"Yes, it's better to make it convenient for the people. Build a few more. There are also library buildings in the school, which can actually be said to be libraries."

Li Ru also exclaimed, "Your Highness, this consumes a lot, right?"

Yang Yichuan replied indifferently, "It's okay, it's not a big problem. Anyway, the Xihe Chamber of Commerce can make a lot of money every month. Money can never be made. Of course, if you make so much money without spending it, then making money is meaningless."

Li Ru always lamented that Yang Yichuan had many fallacies, but sometimes his words contained extremely profound principles.

"Your Highness's idea is different from many people. Those rich families always think that they don't have enough money and want to make more. As for spending money, they are willing to spend money, but they won't be like your highness."

"That's because their vision is too small. In their eyes, there is only their family, which is a small family. But they can't see the big family of the Dawei Dynasty. They think that the Dawei Dynasty is gone and they can still live a good life. This idea is very bad. So, we must continue to change everyone's ideas and let everyone have a feeling of being with their country."

"This is a sense of identity, a sense of glory, and a sense of belonging. Now many people in the Dawei Dynasty do not have, merchants do not have, and officials do not have. They only think that the Dawei Dynasty belongs to my Yang family. If the Dawei Dynasty is gone, the Yang family will be gone. However, Zhao Qian, Sun and Li are still there, and those who are officials can still be officials, and those who do business can still do business, and those who farm will continue to farm."

"Except for the soldiers who defended their country who became burial objects, some unfortunate families disappeared in the changing dynasties, and most people were numb to this situation."

"Mr. Li, do you think this is right? Although my Yang family has become a royal family and has supreme power, aren't there enough things to pay at the same time?"

Yang Yichuan was talking and then he got off the ground again, "Ahem, I won't talk anymore, I won't talk anymore, continue to talk about this library. What do Lord Li have any thoughts about this library?"

Li Ru was still thinking, but was brought back by Yang Yichuan's jumping thinking.

"Idea? This library is one of the key points of promoting compulsory education. With new printing and new papermaking techniques, it is indeed very beneficial. I think with these two technologies, it would be much easier for the imperial court to promote compulsory education."

Yang Yichuan retorted, "It's easier to be simple, but a lot of it is not enough. I'm still short of money. If you want to promote compulsory education, relying solely on the treasury and the court's efforts is not enough. It's like in Xihe City, you have to make the local big family devote their efforts, so it will be much simpler."

"With money, the rest is people, and it is still very easy to choose some teachers. There are many scholars in the world, and there are also many scholars who have achieved success. Not all scholars need to be officials. Scholars can teach and educate, and they can also learn about other aspects and make some achievements."

After hearing Yang Yichuan's words, Li Ru showed a smile that was indeed like this. This compulsory education was originally proposed by Yang Yichuan, so Yang Yichuan must have better ideas and suggestions for the promotion of compulsory education. Sure enough, Li Ru heard Yang Yichuan's ideas at this time.

"Scholars don't have to be officials. This idea is unprecedented. However, there are only a few official positions in the world, but there are many scholars, and it is indeed the case. The role that scholars can bring in other industries is huge. It is not necessary to teach and educate people, and even use their own minds to do farming and doing business." Li Ru also had some conspiracy in his heart. He only looked through the books in his hand at the beginning. After communicating with Yang Yichuan, he forgot the existence of books. After the conversation, the books can be put back to their original place.
