"Tang? Your Highness, do you think you just want the Lu family of Fanyang?" Lu Zuo looked at Lu You, and then asked in confusion. He really didn't expect that Li Yan would make such a strange request. If he remembered correctly, although the King of Qi in front of him was talented, he didn't seem to be very easy to learn?

"Wrong, I will not ask for your Lu family's treasures, but just borrow them. However, the number of borrowed them is a bit large, so I hope you can let go of all the treasures in the clan. I will send someone to pull them, and I will return them after they are used up!" Li Yan said with a smile. Although he doesn't like them, there are many people in the world who are unavailable.

After hearing this, Lu Zuo and Lu You looked at it with a black look. What should I borrow from a car? It seems that His Highness, the King of Qi, wanted to empty their Lu family's hiding, but the man was under the eaves and had to bow his head. And it was just a few hidden books. Although there were many rare and lonely books in it, it was nothing compared to the survival of the family, so he agreed without hesitation.

The conditions have been negotiated, and the Lu Zuo brothers are not convenient to stay anymore. After all, Li Yan was sick and could not entertain them at all. In addition, today's negotiation results were undoubtedly a huge disaster for Lu, because there was almost no thing they wanted in advance. Although Li Yan also gave them some opportunities, whether it was textile or sugar making, they were still just castles in the air and could not see direct returns at all, so they had to go back and weighed them well.

After getting up and seeing Lu Zuo and Lu You away, Li Yan returned to Hu's bed and lay down. At this time, someone turned out from behind the screen. It was Wang Fu Wang An of the King of Qi's Mansion. Seeing his teacher, Li Yan on Hu's bed smiled and said, "Wang Fu, you are really a god. Lu's time is here, and it is indeed not just to break off the engagement, but to have wanted to get out of our suppression."

As Li Yan's number one think tank, Wang An naturally had to participate in the whole process when encountering Lu's family. However, according to Wang An, he had a relationship with Lu Zuo before, so he didn't want to meet him, so he hid behind the screen.

"The family of aristocratic families regard preserving the family as their top priority. Although this belief can make the children in the clan show great unity when they are outside the outside world, various problems will arise when joining forces with other aristocratic families. When the interests of their own family conflict with the purpose of joining forces, they will definitely choose the interests of the family without hesitation. As long as they see through this, it will be much easier when they deal with these aristocratic families in the future!" Wang An explained with a smile. He was born in a great family and knew the most about these things. However, now his vision is no longer limited to the family, but focuses on the survival of the entire society, the country and the nation. This is the vision that a wise man should have.

"Wang Fu, based on your understanding of the Lu family, how many hidden things can they have in their family? How many of them are what we need!" Li Yan asked impatiently.

"Your Highness, your question is stumping me, but with the nearly thousand years of inheritance of the Lu family, there must be countless collections in the clan, and there must be many extremely precious collections. For example, there are about 500,000 volumes in our Wang family. The Lu family is probably not less than our Wang family!" Wang An said of the Lu family's collection, and there was a hint of fascination on his face. As a person, he naturally had a special feeling for the clan. Unfortunately, the collections in various clans are only open to the children of the clan, and some of them are only open to some specific children, not everyone can see them, let alone those outside the clan.

"Hmph, the aristocratic families are really stingy. The clans in the clan are not lending any of them at all. If they hadn't taken advantage of the Lu family being forced into a desperate situation this time, they would probably never agree to lend it to us." Li Yan snorted coldly and began to despise the stingy families of the major families. After all, in the eyes of later generations, they were just a few books, but they were hiding like treasures, and did not show the demeanor that the aristocratic families should have.

However, when Wang An heard Li Yan's grievance, he showed a hint of funny feeling and said, "Your Highness, you are in a high position, so you don't know how precious the book is. Whether it is our Wang family, the Lu family or other aristocratic families, they are almost copied by predecessors. Sometimes it takes a year or even several years to copy it. It is because one book takes countless energy and time, so almost everyone regards it as a treasure. If you are not a friend, you will not lend it out at all. Even among people, borrowing it from others is a very favor. If you have the chance in the future, you must repay it twice."

Li Yan's ancient level was limited, and now he could barely understand some things like faith. As for books such as Confucian classics, he still couldn't understand them very well. Someone had to explain them next to him, so he never cared about them, and he knew even less about them. He used to know that the Tang Dynasty was usually copied by others, and the price was very expensive. As for how expensive it was? He didn't understand them carefully. Now after listening to Wang An's explanation, he realized the preciousness of a book.

But at this moment, Wang An continued: "Of course, the reason why aristocratic families prohibits borrowing from abroad is not just because their family is precious, but the most important thing is to block knowledge. After all, since the former Sui Dynasty implemented the imperial examination system, most officials had to go through imperial examinations. In this way, if aristocratic families want to control the court again, they must participate in the imperial examinations. In order to reduce some competition, they naturally refused to make the Tibetans in the clan open!"

"That's right!" Li Yan was also thinking about this question, and when he heard Wang An's words, he also praised it. "Knowledge is a key to the wisdom of the people, and Ji is the carrier of knowledge. The ancients recorded the knowledge they learned from life and spread it to future generations. It was not for people to collect it, nor was it for some to use it as a tool for their own profits. Ji should belong to all the people of my Tang Dynasty, and this is also the ultimate goal of building a picture museum!"

Seeing Li Yan's righteous look, Wang An laughed in his heart. Although Li Yan came out of the picture museum, and as he said just now, it was a name that benefited the Tang Dynasty, anyone with a little vision could see clearly. Li Yan's purpose was to attack the big families such as the Five Clans and Seven Hopes.

The reason why aristocratic families control the court is because they have a large amount of educational resources. The children of the clan not only enjoy the most superior and orthodox Confucian education since childhood, but also never worry about the issue of family matters. However, some people outside the aristocratic families are different. In order to find some of the books they need, they often ask people everywhere, and some even travel thousands of miles to visit others. Being a person means taking advantage of the book in the other party's hands. Unfortunately, if there is no introduction from an acquaintance, they often end up with the other party's refusal.

It is precisely in this kind of educational environment where there is no fairness, that the children of aristocratic families are naturally better than others in terms of academic knowledge, and it is easier to be on the list during the imperial examination. In addition, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty did not only value the knowledge of candidates, but also the messy things such as recommenders and reputations. These are often the children of aristocratic families. In this way, most of the scholars who can enter the officialdom through the imperial examinations are children of aristocratic families, and it is precisely through this method that the aristocratic families slowly control more than half of the power of the court.

When Li Yan wanted to break the educational barriers established by the aristocratic families, the first step was to popularize the family. As a later generation, he naturally thought of the picture museum first, and this was the second tool to attack the aristocratic families besides the newspaper.

The museum should have begun long ago. At least Li Yan was planning to build a museum in Chang'an first, and then find a way to mobilize the industrial and commercial circles of the Tang Dynasty to promote the construction of museums across the country. It doesn't matter whether the size or not, as long as it has it, but soon he discovered a problem and had to postpone the museum's plan.

The purpose of cracking down on aristocratic families is to better develop industry and commerce. If industry and commerce want to develop, it has a great relationship with the technical level of various industries. As the saying goes, science and technology are the primary productive forces. If industry and commerce want to develop, then the Tang Dynasty must also make achievements in disciplines such as architecture, agriculture, and mathematics.

In fact, many people have conducted research on these disciplines before the Tang Dynasty, especially mathematics, and there are many works. However, most of the works that Li Yan could find were Confucian works, while there were very few more practical scientific books such as architecture and mathematics, which made Li Yan very unwilling to accept it. After all, no matter how good Confucianism is, it cannot create wealth. Only those real knowledge is the driving force for the development of industry and commerce. He did not want the museum he had worked hard to build to become an accessory of the imperial examination.

It was precisely with this idea that Li Yan had to drag the matter of the picture museum backwards, and then collected some practical books other than Confucianism, sorted them out according to their functions, hoping to organize various types of books into a systematic discipline. Unfortunately, those practical books were not easy to find. Although there were some in the palace, after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the books in the palace were also not well lost, so there were not many palaces in the Tang Dynasty, which could not meet Li Yan's requirements at all.

Finally, when Wang An woke up, Li Yan thought of the great families of the Five Clans and Qiwang. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, which had only been established for decades, these great families have been passed down for nearly a thousand years. The clan not only collected a large number of Confucian classics, but also collected a large number of non-Confucian books. Some time ago, Li Yan had sent someone to find Wang Kuang from Taiyuan and asked him to help him screen out some useful books in the Wang family's collection. As a result, the other party sent tens of thousands of copies at once. Wang Kuang also said in the letter that these were only the first issue, and they could change another batch after printing.

It was precisely because of the collections of the Wang family in Taiyuan that Li Yan became interested in the collections of several other major families, so he gave the Lu family such an additional condition to sort them all and prepare for his national museum business.
