After seeing Zhang Feng off, Liu Che began to count the bamboo slips in the two large boxes.
It took Liu Che a full day to sort out and categorize them.
These two large boxes of bamboo slips are divided into three categories: mathematics, politics and discussion.
"Baby!" Liu Che looked at the arranged bamboo slips and excitedly geared up.
The total number of bamboo slips is two hundred and thirty-seven volumes!
Mathematics knowledge accounts for nearly half of it.
During the sorting process, Liu Che even discovered that the three versions of "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" were annotations by Xunzi, Lu Buwei and Xiao He. Those three Zhou Bi Suan Sutra alone are priceless treasures!
Not to mention the various mathematical concepts involved in these collections of mathematics books and Zhang Cang's own works.
Liu Che did some statistics and found that among the more than one hundred volumes of mathematics books, there were a total of nine parts involving Fangtian, Corn, Difference, Shaoguang, Shang Gong, Loss of All, Equations, and Deficiency of Win, totaling 340 Five questions, two hundred and twelve cases.
Covers all basic concepts of mathematics including finding equations, finding pi, decay method, square root and cube root, solving geometry, measuring distances, etc.
It is no exaggeration to say that based on these, plus the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" that has been circulated around the world, with a little improvement, we can completely surpass the Western "Elements of Geometry", at least, we can surpass it in terms of mathematical achievements. Several streets!
Liu Che even discovered that Zhang Cang had actually begun to measure the distance of the sun based on the mathematics of his predecessors... (Note 1)
If Europa is to be spared, I'm afraid she will have to be burned at the stake...
That's all.
The key thing is that the political discussion presented by Zhang Cang actually contains more than ten volumes of dialogues between Zhang Cang and famous ministers and generals of the past dynasties.
Look at the writing style and words.
It is probably a memoir-like article written by Zhang Cang in the form of memories after he became an official.
However, every conversation partner is important!
Xiao He, Cao Shen, Guan Ying, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, almost all of them.
Liu Che looked at it for a while and found that the writing was full of Zhang Cang's personal style. It usually started with a memorial to a certain minister in a certain year, and then, there were conversations about that matter between Zhang Cang and those famous ministers and outstanding figures from past dynasties. It's an argument.
"As expected of a living fossil!" Liu Che stretched out and called Wang Dao over. He ordered: "Please have these bamboo slips collected and placed in the study of Gu's Painting Hall..."
Wang Dao nodded quickly.
Then Liu Che turned his attention to the bamboo slips that recorded the conversations between Zhang Cang and many famous senior ministers.
"Let people pack these up and send them to Shiqu Pavilion, and let Taishi Ling file them..." Documents like this involve historical materials and private files. Even Liu Che would not dare to keep them privately.
You can only put it in Shiqu Pavilion. If you need to read it, check it again.
Except now, Liu Che doesn't want to be in the limelight anymore. Simply presenting Zhang Cang's eleven political articles to the emperor's father in person can make him smile.
"In this case, when Tai Shigong writes historical records in the future, he will probably be able to find a lot of materials in Shiqu Pavilion..." Liu Che thought to himself as he looked at the bamboo slips sent by Zhang Cang.
For Liu Che, Zhang Cang sent these rare and rare books as well as his own memoirs, treatises, etc., which helped Liu Che fill in a missing piece of the puzzle.
With these books by Zhang Cang.
Liu Che felt that it was time to build a library in Chang'an for the bureaucratic and aristocratic classes.
Well, the entry threshold is tentatively set to be officials with more than 400 shi or nobles with a title of public title or above!
Try building a smaller one first.
"Well, let's use Cheng Zhengying's brand name and create a private banner, so that even if there is a problem, it will be Cheng Zhengying who takes the blame..." Liu Che thought to himself: "If the results are achieved, I will go pick peaches again! That's it!
"
So, Liu Che told a eunuch beside him: "Go and find Zhang Tang!"
Ask Zhang Tang to come forward and act as a protector and endorser for Cheng Zhengying's library.
This will avoid a lot of trouble.
only……
Liu Che suddenly realized that if this happened...
Liu Che felt like he was becoming more and more like the hidden boss in the novel who hides behind the scenes.
……………………
The palace, the painting hall, and the study room.
Yi Zong came in a hurry with a group of friends.
At this moment, Yi Zong is no longer the young boy he was before.
Now, his status in the prince's womb is not low. Almost everyone knows that he is the prince's brother-in-law. With such a relationship, everyone inside and outside will give him some face.
Naturally, there were also many low-level officials who automatically gathered under Yi Zong's staff.
To this day, Yi Zong has gathered a small team.
There are almost ten people in the entire team.
Most of the members are young men aged sixteen or seventeen.
The ingredients are also very complex.
Some come from official families, some bring money in, and some are children of nobles.
Yi Zong is a very smart person and has a very strong learning ability. Although he is young, he has basically no skills.
However, after staying in the bandits' den for a long time, his thinking became very vivid.
Therefore, despite looking at it, Yi Zong seems to have few requirements for the members of his small team, and he almost refuses anyone who comes.
However, there are only three people who are really close to him and talk to him about everything so far.
"Prince..." At this time, Yi Zong took his three confidants and ran all the way to the door of the study room of the painting hall. With a smile on his face, he saluted Wang Dao who had just settled things in the study room: "
I am here to study on the orders of my family, and I ask the prince for your convenience!"
Yi Zong likes reading, so Wang Dao naturally knows.
So he smiled slightly and said: "You can do as you please, but there is one thing. Do not touch the slips here. If you really like it, you can copy it with banknotes!"
"No!" Yi Zong quickly bowed and saluted.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the prince's uterus knows that the eunuch Wang Dao is the prince's most trusted minion and serves the prince almost day and night.
Therefore, let alone being righteous, even Ji An and Zhang Tang must give enough face to Wang Dao!
"By the way, Mr. Yishe, His Highness has ordered that the collection of books in this study will be open to all the officials and assistants in the entire palace. We will post notices after we leave the house. Mr. Yishe, hurry up and read. Go there.
Later, this place will definitely be very lively with people coming and going..." Wang Dao said with a smile.
Yi Zong let out a cry after hearing this.
In the past, this prince's study was basically only accessible to him. It symbolized that he belonged to the privileged class in this palace.
Now that he heard that he was about to lose this privilege and halo, Yi Zong was inevitably a little disappointed.
Wang Dao smiled mysteriously and said: "Ren Yishe, this is an order from His Highness. His Highness said that knowledge is valuable only if it is spread!"
"Recently, His Highness has been thinking about setting up a library in Chang'an that would be open to all people with public titles and above for borrowing and copying!"
When Yizong heard this, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Yizong knows!"
The prince wants to build a library. This is no secret in the prince's palace.
As early as in Hedong, Yi Zong had heard it from the prince.
Due to limited funds and venue, as well as concerns about public opinion, it has only remained on paper.
"Has the family finally made up its mind?" Yi Zong thought to himself, and walked into the study with his three confidants.
Every time he came to the study room of the Prince's Palace Painting Hall, Yi Zong would feel like a pilgrim.
Really, there are too many books in this study!
From military affairs to geography, from medical skills to engineering, there are hundreds of schools of thought, three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of treatises.
Yi Zong has estimated that the collection of books in this study alone probably contains thousands of volumes and at least a million words!
Except for the collection of books in Shiqu Pavilion, there is no other collection of books in that place in the world today that is larger in scale, with more categories, and more comprehensive than the collection in Tai Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, Yi Zong discovered that there seemed to be more books in the study today.
He came to a bookshelf that had obviously just been set up, picked up a bamboo slip, glanced at the title, and exclaimed: "Oh my god, it's "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" annotated by Xunzi!"
"It turns out that "Nine Numbers" was annotated by Liu Hou!" A friend shouted equally excitedly: "I have heard before that when Liu Hou lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, he used some of his experiences and military tactics to It is recorded in a volume of "Nine Numbers", shouldn't it be this volume of "Nine Numbers"!"
Zhang Liang is the idol of many people, especially the "Tai Gong Art of War" that Zhang Liang learned. Among the people, it is almost equivalent to the "Nine Yin Manual", which is said to be the true and unparalleled secret book that can become the god of war.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the young man was so excited.
"The new "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"!" Yi Zong heard this and quickly picked up the top volume of the bookshelf. He opened it and recognized it immediately: "It's completely new, and judging from the handwriting, I thought it was Written by Hou Canggong of Beiping!"
At this moment, Yi Zong only felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
Probably because the prince likes people who are good at mathematics, he is naturally particularly interested in mathematics books and knowledge.
In fact, every time he came to this study to read, most of the books he read were mathematics books.
The person with the highest achievements in the field of mathematics at this time is undoubtedly the former Prime Minister Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping.
At this moment, being able to read the latest writings of Beiping Hou Zhang Cang with his own eyes, for Yi Zong, is no less than a Confucian student seeing Confucius' teachings with his own eyes, or a Legalist student listening to Han Fei's lectures.
"Let's hurry up and copy it!" Yi Zong said, holding the scroll: "Otherwise, when others come later, we won't have such a good opportunity!"
So, the four of them found a place, took some white paper, sat down together on their knees, and began to copy.
Unfortunately, not long after, footsteps were heard outside.
Yi Zong looked up slightly and saw Zhang Tang walking in with his deputy Ning Cheng.
Yi Zong and others quickly stood up and saluted: "I've seen Zhang Shugeng!"
Zhang Tang nodded slightly in return, and then came to the bookshelf. Then he walked around and looked around the study room. He said to Ning Cheng as if no one else was watching: "Brother, please look for these slips in the past two days."
Everyone, please make a copy of it and publish it!"
"No!" Ning Cheng nodded.
Zhang Tang walked up to Yi Zong and others and said with a smile: "People from Yishe are here to study..."
Then, Zhang Tang looked at the three teenagers next to Yi Zong. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
These three young men were originally unknown, relying on their wealth or the support of their parents to get into the palace, and they also worked as soy sauce-like petty officials and attendants.
At first, no one paid them any attention.
However, he was valued by Yi Zong, regarded as a confidant, and was nurtured by his side.
Zhang Tang didn't pay much attention to it at first, let alone take it to heart.
But who could have imagined. With the assistance and help of these three people, Yi Zong actually completed several tasks assigned by the prince almost perfectly one after another.
There are even many of them. Zhang Tang thinks that even if he goes into battle, he may not get a good thing.
This forced Zhang Tang to pay attention.
The prince's brother-in-law and future uncle-in-law of the country is not as useless as imagined.
After a period of observation, Zhang Tang discovered that each of the three cronies Yi Zong had won over actually had their own specialties.
For example, the thin-looking young man on the left is named Xian Xuan. Although he came from a poor family, he managed to sneak into the crown prince's palace by relying on his father's achievements and connections.
But after these days, Zhang Tang found that although he was young, he was just a swordsman and penman, but he was very safe in doing things. He had a calmness that was not belonging to an old official.
The guy on the right who looks like a piece of wood is named Du Yan. His background is even worse. He relied on his father to make money and used money to get into the palace. He also served as a clerk and other minor officials.
However, Zhang Tang did not dare to despise him.
Because, two days ago, when Zhang Tang was drinking with Ju Meng, he heard Ju Meng mention that this Du Yan had the style of a general, was very talented in military affairs, and was a quick learner. Ju Meng had already planned to talk to the prince.
It is proposed that Du Yan should be promoted to the position of Palace Guard, responsible for the security of a certain gate in the Crown Prince's Palace.
As for that person, Zhang Tang only knew that his surname was Zhu, that his family was a local powerhouse, and that he had some relationship with the An Guohou family.
However, since both Xian Xuan and Du Yan have shown transcendent abilities.
This young man named Zhu is probably not going anywhere.
Zhang Tang lowered his head and looked at the letters these people were copying.
What Yi Zong copied was a new chapter of "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic".
What Du Yan was copying was "Nine Numbers", but a closer look revealed that there were actually a few notes hidden in some parts of the "Nine Numbers" about military formations...
But Xianxuan and the young man named Zhu were immersed in copying the Qin Dynasty's "Book of Dharma".
After looking at the Dharma Sutra, Zhang Tang let out a sigh, because Zhang Tang remembered very clearly that the Dharma Sutra currently circulating in the world is very incomplete.
But what Xianxuan and the boy named Zhu were copying seemed to be a complete version.
"Where did these slips come from?" Zhang Tang couldn't help but wonder.
"Replying to Zhang Shugeng, it is said that it was presented to the family by Hou Canggong of Beiping..." Yi Zong lowered his head and replied.
"Oh..." Zhang Tang calmly picked up the Dharma scripture, looked at it, and said to Xian Xuan and the young man named Zhu, "Can I make an extra copy and send it to my desk?"
Han law was modified on the basis of Qin law.
Therefore, if you want to understand the Han method thoroughly, you must read the Qin method.
It's a pity that many of the "Dharma Scriptures" of the Qin Dynasty were damaged in the war.
At that time, the only person who could restore all the contents of Qin law was probably Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, who had been the censor of the Qin Dynasty and knew all the Qin laws by heart!
"Nuo!" How dare Xianxuan and the boy named Zhu go against Zhang Tang's wishes?
………………………………
A few days later, outside a market in the east of Chang'an City, several houses quietly changed owners.
Then, a large number of craftsmen settled in.
The rich man from Shu County is not short of money at all.
Hundreds of craftsmen worked day and night, and large quantities of bricks and wood were transported in.
Originally, a rich man with unknown origins like this would definitely be squeezed out and suppressed by Guanzhong merchants.
But, this time, not to mention ruffians and scoundrels, not even beggars dared to approach the construction site.
This made many Chang'an gossips marvel.
After asking around, the gossipers suddenly realized.
"It turns out that it is the property of Cheng Zhengying from Shu County!" People whispered about the rich man from Shu County, and the well-informed people even patted their chests and said: "I heard that this person and another businessman named Zhuo donated money.
A large amount of money was given to the imperial court to build a commemorative ramp! The imperial court received the benefits and naturally wanted to help others. Didn't you see that the prince ordered Zhang Tang to come and see him every now and then?"
"Hey! This is outdated news!" Another senior gossip party said mysteriously: "I heard that after these houses are built, they will be used by the nobles of the East Palace. It is said that there are several houses,
In the future, it will be given to the empress dowager of the East Palace, Taicang Gong Chunyu Yi from Qi State, to recruit disciples and train his children!"
amidst all these rumors.
The renovation of these houses is progressing steadily.
Even Liu Che couldn't bear the loneliness and came over to inspect the place in private.
Fortunately, in recent days, the imperial court has begun to review the performance of the chief officials of prefectures and counties throughout the country last year.
The Shaofu, the Prime Minister, and the Yushi doctor's office are extremely busy.
Countless account books, tax records, and labor lists filled the desks of various government offices.
After a while, no one had time to stare at Liu Che.
This gave Liu Che some relatively free space, and he could sneak out of the palace and breathe fresh air.
Liu Che, accompanied by Cheng Zhengying, took a casual look at the houses that were under construction and renovation.
In the future, these houses will all be opened up and connected together.
Part of it was used as Chunyu Yi's medical garden to teach scholars who were interested in medicine. At the same time, Liu Che also had several hidden chambers dug underground to facilitate human anatomy experiments that might be carried out secretly in the future.
Anyway, there will definitely be no shortage of materials by then!
Whether it is against the Huns or North Korea, once the war begins, there will definitely be enough control over the prisoners of war!
Then, another part will be transformed into a library.
Under the cover of Chunyuyi Medical Garden under the banner of private enterprise, we tried to use libraries to spread knowledge before the Christian era.
"Not bad..." After Liu Che made a tour, he said to Cheng Zhengying: "It's Mr. Hardworking!"
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter!" Cheng Zhengying said with a smile on his face.
He came to Chang'an a few days ago with a promised advance payment of 50 million yuan for the preliminary project exploration funds of Baoxie Road.
Because there were too many, all he brought were gold cakes.
Cheng Zhengying used ten carriages to escort a total of five thousand gold cakes under the protection of hundreds of soldiers sent by Shu County.
In fact, to be honest, if possible, Cheng Zhengying would rather never have been to Chang'an.
Five thousand gold is not a small amount for either him or Zhuo Wangsun.
What's more, more than a dozen five thousand gold coins will be paid out in installments later.
The only thing that is gratifying is that after spending so much money, his daughter and Zhuo Wangsun's daughter were successfully selected into the list of show girls. They have been reported to the East Palace. As long as the East Palace completes the procedures, he will also
He can be known as a relative of the emperor, and in the future he can even be known as the father-in-law of the country.
It was like having a gold medal to avoid death. I no longer had to worry about sleeping until midnight. But when I woke up, I saw that the whole family was surrounded and they were about to be dragged out of the house and escorted to Chang'an.
Liu Chezheng was chatting with Cheng Zhengying.
Ji An suddenly ran over in a hurry. As soon as he saw them, he reported: "Something big happened at home..."
Liu Che was stunned.
I don't quite understand what happened to make Ji An so panicked.
"My family, the King of Chu suddenly died suddenly in the palace. Your Majesty is anxious to send family members to the palace..." Ji An reported.
When Liu Che heard this, he felt like the world was spinning.
How is this going?
It’s completely inconsistent with history, and it’s even more unlike his previous life experience!
According to the normal rhythm, shouldn't the King of Chu Liu Wu be violently criticized by Chao Cuo in the next few days, then impeached, and then cut off his Donghai County, just short of killing him?
"Oops!" Liu Che slapped his thigh.
Liu Wu suddenly died suddenly. No matter what the reason was, Liu Bi would be the one who benefited!
Think about it, the King of Chu came to Chang'an in good condition, but ended up returning as a corpse.
Even if the Emperor of Chang'an has three heads and six arms, he can't explain to the world what is going on!
What's even more frightening is that rumors about Chu King Liu Wu's death were rampant in Chang'an.
This will allow thoughtful and smart people to use the topic to their advantage.
After all, Liu Che’s father’s record in this area is not very good!
At that time, a chessboard smashed the prince of Wu to death. This matter is still talked about by King Wu Liu Bi every day, and he even used it as an excuse not to go to Chang'an!
"Pengcheng is in danger!" Liu Che thought almost immediately. As long as Wu King Liu Bi was not stupid, he would immediately march into Chu State, control Pengcheng, and then support a puppet to create a public opinion that Chang'an was unruly and killed Liu Wu.
.
What's even more troublesome is that in order to convince Liu Wu, let him side with Chang'an.
This time Liu Wu entered the court, almost most of the important officials of the Chu State followed Liu Wu to Chang'an.
Including the lieutenants, prime ministers and Taifu of Chu State.
Now in Pengcheng, almost all are mediocre people, or simply careerists with disloyal hearts.
It is almost a foreseeable fact that Pengcheng fell into the hands of King Wu Liu Bi.
Now, Liu Che feels that the key is to figure out Liu Bi's next move.
Going north or east?
"How did King Chu die suddenly?" Liu Che forced himself to calm down and asked.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely suspicious thing.
In the palace, under heavy protection, the chance of poisoning or assassination is almost zero!
Ji An lowered his head and responded in silence. Obviously, at present, Ji An doesn't know how all of this happened!
"Let's go to the palace first!" Liu Che sighed.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Chang'an.
If the Chu State fell into the hands of Wu King Liu Bi, Liu Bi would have six counties with a total of more than 300,000 standing troops. Throwing away the auxiliary troops and heavy baggage troops, there would be at least hundreds of thousands of elites who could be used in field battles!
If he continues to coerce the people and increase his momentum...
The difference from previous lives is that these armies are no longer commanded by two heads.
All of them will be coerced into rebellion under Liu Bi's command.
What's even more troublesome is that as the overlord of the southeast, Liu Bi can also coerce Mitsukoshi's army.
In the previous life, the armies of Nanyue, Dongou and Minyue were coerced by Liu Bi to join the rebel army.
In this way, Liu Bi will have another military strength of about 50,000.
This force is almost unstoppable in the entire southeast.
"How cruel!" Liu Che thought to himself: "He is indeed a hero!"
Now, Liu Che could only pray that Liu Bi would be as stupid as in his previous life and hit his head under the iron wall of Liang State and break his blood.
Otherwise, the entire southeast and even the south of the Yangtze River will be corrupted! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
ps: After much thought, Liu Bi had only one dangerous path to take under such circumstances, otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to get out!
