""Old Documents"? Okay, good. The old gentleman is willing to take out the "Ancient Documents" handed down from his family and hand it over to the officials for copying. That's great." Yunxi said with a smile.
"Gu Wen Shangshu" refers to the text of "Shang Shu" written in strange characters from various countries before the Qin Dynasty unified the script. It is different from the "Shang Shu" that was handed down after the Qin Dynasty unified the script into Xiaozhuan, so it is called "Gu Wen Shangshu"
", the one compiled by Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty was called "Jinwen Shangshu". "Shangshu" is one of the Five Classics, it is very important, and it is certainly a good thing to have more "Guwen Shangshu" for proofreading.
"Thank you for the compliment." The old man said. But after he said it, he felt something was wrong: "Why do I express my gratitude as if I was praised by an official of the DPRK? The tone and demeanor of this noble young master just now were too strong. He was stronger than any third-rank official I had ever seen."
There is also official aura. Could it be that he is not just an ordinary noble prince, but also a noble prince who has ascended to the rank of noble and held an official position?'
"It's a good thing that the old gentleman is willing to contribute to the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Dadian. I decided to help you with fifty taels of silver as an encouragement." Yunxi said again. A guard then took out fifty silver coins from his body and handed them to him.
elder.
"Thank you, sir." The old man didn't want it at first, but somehow, by some strange combination of circumstances, he agreed.
"It's nothing." Yunxi waved his hand and asked: "If any of the old gentleman's friends still have such ancient books with a long history, they must take them out and contribute to the cultural event of compiling the "Da Ming Dadian"."
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely tell all the people I know who like to collect books and ask them to bring out the ancient books they have collected at home." The old man couldn't help but say again.
Yunxi said a few more words to him to encourage the old man's behavior, and then turned and left the bookstore.
"Dad, just for a book, I paid fifty silver dollars instead of buying it. Don't you always teach us not to be extravagant and wasteful?" Min'er asked puzzledly after leaving the bookstore.
"This is not a waste. This is a contribution to a cultural event." Yunxi corrected: "The inheritance of these ancient books is very important. If you can pass on more, just a little."
"Oh." Min'er actually still didn't understand, but she didn't ask anymore, and said: "This is where Qi'er bought the book for Yuan'er years ago? This bookstore doesn't look big, and there aren't many books.
."
"You can't compare our library with this bookstore. Among the books copied by the history museum, my father asked for one from the history museum today, and asked for another one tomorrow if he wanted to read it. Slowly, the books in the library became...
There are so many. Among the people, this can be regarded as a big bookstore." Yunxi said.
"There are too few books that people can read."
"Books are not cheap. Of course, ordinary people can't read many. But in the future, everyone in the world will be able to read countless books if they are willing." Yunxi thought of future generations and said.
As they spoke, they walked back to the carriage, got back in and continued to drive to Prince Zhou's Mansion. This place was not far from Prince Zhou's Mansion, and they arrived within a few steps. The carriage stopped in front of Prince Zhou's Mansion.
Yunhe got out of the car with Min'er in his arms. After walking a few steps, Zhu You and Zhu You came out to welcome him, saluting and saying, "I have met your Majesty."
"We are all one family. Uncle Wu, you are still the elder. What are you doing with so many gifts?" Yunxi agreed with a smile, then asked Min'er to salute them, and walked into the main hall hand in hand.
Sitting in the main hall, a few people were chatting with each other. Zhu Rui was about to get down to business when he heard Min'er say: "Dad, my daughter wants to play in the yard. Uncle, my niece and granddaughter want to play in the yard of my uncle's house."
"Oops, I forgot about you, Min'er." Zhu Zhu smiled and said: "Of course you can't get used to hearing us talking, let's go out and play. Xiao Chen, go call Zi Ling and play with Min'er."
"Go and play." Yunxi also smiled.
"Thank you, dad. Thank you, uncle." Min'er agreed with a smile and ran out of the house. Several palace maids, maids from Prince Zhou's palace, and eunuchs quickly followed.
"We haven't seen each other for another year, and Min'er has grown up a bit." Zhu Zhu looked at Min'er's back and said, "Although she is only twelve years old, she is taller than many adult women."
"Of course, folk women don't eat well, so they are naturally short. Our royal family not only eats well, but also eats well. It is normal to be taller than ordinary people. Don't talk about women, that is, adult men, too.
She may not be taller than our daughter." Yunxi said. The common people are reluctant to eat enough in their spare time, so how can they have enough nutrition? If they are not nutritious, of course they will not grow taller. Of course, there are always those with special genes who do not eat well.
It's still high, but this situation is rare after all.
"That's right. Even though Zi Ling is not as tall as Min'er, he is still taller than other children of similar age from farmers in the countryside. Standing next to each other and putting on farmers' clothes, they would definitely think they are fourteen or fifteen years old."
Zhu Xi didn't originally mean what he said, but since Yunxi didn't respond, he couldn't go on and could only discuss the matter.
After a few more discussions, Yunxi asked: "Uncle Wu, what you said last time should be done sooner rather than later. The proofreading of the "Da Ming Dian" is about to be completed. If you wait for the proofreading by the History Museum before sending it to you, it will be too late.
.”
"I also know that the guards have been sent back to Kaifeng to urge them to deliver all the books as soon as possible. However, the canal is frozen in winter, so I'm afraid it will have to be slower, and to prevent the books from being damaged, it will take a month."
"It only takes a month. In mid-March, the proofreading of "The Ming Dynasty Ceremony" is still incomplete." Yunxi said with a smile.
Yunxi ordered the compilation of the "Da Ming Dadian", and Zhu Ji, as a famous cultural figure in the clan, certainly agreed. Not only did he order copies of all the books collected by himself and Zhu Youdou to be sent to the capital, he also continued to send people to Henan
Searching for books. Last year, he found a batch of unseen books in Henan Province. He ordered someone to make a copy and originally planned to wait until the spring water thawed to send it to the capital. However, he heard that the "Da Ming Dadian" was about to be compiled.
The guards were sent back to urge the copies of the books to be delivered as soon as possible.
"Actually, Uncle Wu, you don't have to wait for the river to thaw. The tramcar can be used even in winter. You can just use the tramcar to deliver it." Yunxi added.
"Yes, there are also tramcars. It's just that although the carriages have been repaired in Henan for more than a year, I still can't think of them." Zhu Ju said.
"Just get used to it slowly." Yun He said.
"By the way, Uncle Wu, I got another kind of crop that I have never seen in Ming Dynasty. It was also found in Hanzhou continent. I give it to you, Uncle Wu. This kind of crop probably won't grow in Henan, but the fruits it produces are very interesting.
"Uncle Wu, please do some research." Yunxi remembered that Zhu Xi had opened a 'Gezhijian Henan Plant and Animal Branch Supervisor' in Kaifeng, and he remembered a crop from the Hanzhou continent that he wanted him to study.
"Just in time, officials, I also have something to talk to officials about researching crops." (To be continued)
