Although he didn't know what kind of thoughts and considerations the emperor had transferred the relics of Taizu to him, Zhang Shou put on the silk gloves given by the emperor and glanced at the first piece of paper, his feeling was ...... The tall and positive image he had built up through various channels, including those Taizu anecdotes that he had discovered through side knocks, collapsed completely in one breath at this time.

He thought he might see a codex written in pinyin.

If it's a little more difficult, then maybe it's a diary written in English, French, various foreign languages, or even a small language. In that case, he would be miserable if he knew only most of the English words and a few basic French words......

He even imagined that perhaps the Emperor Taizu would be clever in using simplified Chinese characters – very unlikely, of course. The Chinese language and culture are in the same line, and modern people who look at simplified Chinese characters in elementary school can still recognize traditional Chinese characters and can recognize eight or nine without leaving ten, but they are tired, so it should not be difficult for the ancients to recognize simplified characters.

But now this codex is a synthesis of all kinds of Chinese English plus pinyin. Even if you hire a Briton who is proficient in Chinese, you will never recognize it!

What's more, there is still a difference between English in these years and later generations, and Britain, which is now in the late stage of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, is still 108,000 miles away from the word "power". At this time, the official language of Europe was to be Latin. Even Spain, the first empire on which the sun never sets, has not yet truly risen. Therefore, it is basically impossible to find a pure British person to decipher it

At this moment, looking at this thick pile of codex full of Chinese English such as no zuo no die, no door, and too aful, Zhang Shou couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and then pressed the corners of his upturned mouth again, and then took a deep breath, warning himself to be calm, don't help laughing. Otherwise, when the voice comes out, everyone knows that he can understand Taizu's Codex!

The letterhead is yellow, but it is well preserved, probably in line with the bad taste that no one can understand these codexes except for the traverser, and the tone is written in the first period of embarrassment, Emperor Taizu's initial descriptions are very casual, laughing and scolding without scruples, it seems to be a diary, but he flipped through a few sheets casually, and found that the handwriting has subtle changes, which should be accumulated in paragraphs.

"I really won't die, I went to climb the mountain on a thunderstorm, and the lightning and thunder really crossed, fortunately I brought a backpack at that time!"

"I knew that I was going to cross, how could I have brought only a brief history of the structure and development of artillery in various periods in China and abroad, in addition to a few historical reference books? Not to mention, you have to bring all kinds of physics and math textbooks, otherwise how can you open a science and technology tree? Alas, I regret that I shouldn't have made a bet with someone to go to the mountains for two months to retreat and write my graduation thesis, which is good, I will never go back to this retreat for the rest of my life! ”

"It was actually a troubled era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the eldest lady who saved me turned out to be Han Shantong's wife Yang Sanniang, who is really a warm-hearted and good person!"

"I'm teaching Han Jin'er how to practice archery...... It's great to be the real thing, and I brought my thirty-pound bow with me, and it's so cool to play rapid-fire in this backward era! But I brought a spare bowstring, but I didn't have many arrows, and the arrows were terrible in those years. ”

"Han Lin'er actually fell off the cliff and died? Although that little ghost is very annoying, even if I am a butterfly, I haven't done anything, and I was still practicing archery with Han Jin'er when he died. Anyway, shouldn't Han Lin'er be drowned by Zhu Yuanzhang? ”

"You want me to get into trouble? No way! Although Jin'er is indeed very good and cute, but a manly man, he can't be killed! ”

"After entering the White Lotus Sect, I am the Holy Son of the White Lotus Sect? This one...... They actually want me to replace Han Lin'er and pretend to be a descendant of Song Huizong? These religious people just like this kind of gods, gods and ghosts! My surname is Zheng, and my surname is not Zhao! ”

"Yang Sanniang came to persuade me personally, they don't need me to change my surname, they are willing to marry their adopted daughter Jin'er to me, because they believe that I, a person who fell from the sky, dressed strangely, and has a great rate of fire, is the legendary Son of Light of the White Lotus Sect! The so-called inclusion is just to reassure Han Shantong, and it will not be publicized to the outside world......"

"Okay, Jin'er cried with me several times, a manly man, he should be soft-hearted when he should be soft-hearted, anyway, only Han Shantong and his wife know, and if they don't change their surname, they will be rich. But I have to remind Han Shantong not to just incite others, and to pay attention to safety, otherwise how could he die and Liu Futong is still alive and well? ”

Zhang Shou was very interested in the history of Taizu's fortune before he unified the world, so although it took a bit of time to identify those words mixed with English and pinyin, he still watched it with relish.

After Taizu married a wife, he gradually gained prestige among the White Lotus Sect followers by relying on his mouth and archery skills, and then rose to prominence, gathering a group of people under his command. But he tried his best to reverse the situation that Han Shantong was captured and sent to his death at the beginning of the rebel uprising, but this was unsuccessful.

And during the period when Taizu fought in the south and the north, the diary was very brief. Often, who will vote today, who will be defeated tomorrow, and what city will be occupied the day after tomorrow...... In short, all kinds of recruitment, absorbing talents, is like a bamboo.

Although Taizu modestly said in his handbook that the direction of his dissertation was to discuss the art of war and the means of recruiting talents that Taizu dominated the world, and the reference books were all from this time period, plus the time and place were favorable, Zhang Shou still couldn't help but admire.

The difficulty of talking on paper and actually doing it is very different!

Although the part of the codex that ruled the world was incomplete, he could still see the specific time, and he roughly calculated that Taizu was two years ahead of Zhu Yuanzhang's unification process in history, and he was in his prime when he ascended the throne, and he was less than forty years old.

However, compared to after Taizu ascended the throne, the codex in front of him was already very detailed. Because as the part after the emperor, Taizu seems to be careful about words, and the Chinese English he is most familiar with is gone, and more English words are used to replace Chinese words, creating a lot of strange sentence patterns, and the awareness of concealment is stronger.

For the open and secret battles of the courtiers, and even the elimination of all kinds of ambitious people, Taizu recorded very briefly. As for the progress of the research and development of artillery guns, Taizu often said in great detail; And when it comes to shipbuilding and going to sea and other affairs, it is even more colorful, and the most speechless thing for him is that Taizu's surname is Zheng, and he gave the name Zheng He to the bandit-born general who went to sea for the first time......

And when he turned to the last piece of paper, Zhang Shou finally saw what he wanted to know most.

"The papers and reference books that I hid in the plaque of the Jiuzhangtang of the Guozijian should have been sealed inside. And I have always liked Li Bai's poems, so I chose two of his poems, which were used as the key after the regular displacement of the thousand-character text, and let the Goryeo craftsman build this secret box and seal my last bit of manuscript. ”

"By the time he changes dynasties, whether it is the plaque or the paper in this secret box, it should have decayed and turned to ashes, right? That being the case, I decided to keep this watch, the last piece of evidence that a timeless person ever left here. It was supposed to be a mobile phone and a power bank, but the Apple phone has no power worse than a brick, I saved Jin'er and smashed it with it, it was broken, the power bank was also used to block arrows, and the wire was strangled to death......"

"Jin'er hurt her body when she was young, and the doctor said that she couldn't have children, so she persuaded me to have a concubine early and extend the heir. I'm sorry for her. Now that she is gone, my sons have grown up, and one of them is even more heroic, and will definitely become a generation of masters in the future. Now that I have abdicated, in order to avoid the suspicion of father and son in the future, I decided to set sail myself. ”

"I'm going to bring with me the people who are the best at astronomy, the skilled craftsmen who are the best at designing and repairing, and a group of orphans of both sexes, just like Xu Fu did back then, because if you can't go back, they are the hope for the future...... Of course, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe, and Africa are all too close. I, the mapmaker, decided to go west, through Malacca, the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope to the Atlantic, and on the Columbus road to the Americas. I've lived enough in this life, so why not go further? ”

"Since I replaced Zhu Yuanzhang and replaced his Ming with my Ming, why can't I plant the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty on the American continent before Columbus?"

After reading this last paragraph, Zhang Shou couldn't help but take a light breath. He put the last piece of paper back in place, solemnly put the stack of codex in his hand back into the box, closed the lid, and thoughtfully took out the watch. This was the last thing that the senior left in Daming.

Of course, he could see that the watch was not a famous watch, and there were countless scratches on the watch body, metal strap and even the cover glass, and he didn't know how many hardships he had experienced, but after a long time of silence, he opened the clasp and put the watch on his right wrist.

Even if it's to show your respect for your predecessors! Of course, if you get it right, it's a bonus!

"Young master, I've arrived at the Guozijian."

Hearing Ah Liu's voice outside the car, Zhang Shou closed the box, messed up the code disk, and got out of the car with the box. Seeing that it was indeed the university archway, he stuffed the secret box to Ah Liu without thinking, but directly exposed the watch on his right wrist, because he smiled: "The box contains those codexes like heavenly books, you continue to keep it for me, and I will wear this thing as a souvenir." ”

Ah Liu's eyesight is excellent, but at this moment, he saw that on the dial of the watch in Zhang Shou's hand, in addition to the two needles that didn't seem to move much, there was another needle that seemed to be moving. He blinked his eyes and finally didn't say anything.

When I wound up before, I didn't know what time it was, but there was a sundial in the Guozi Prison, so Zhang Shou planned to go back and find an hour to pair the watch. Of course, the most important thing now is to take a look at the two students in your charge first. Those prisoners in Jiuzhangtang don't have to worry yet, but it's hard to say in Banshan Hall, none of those noble children are fuel-efficient lamps!

When he passed by the sundial, he glanced at it, and found that it was a little bit old, so he turned directly to the half-mountain hall. When he saw the building from a distance, which was very different from the six halls, he heard a familiar voice faintly coming from the wind, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he could distinguish it carefully. Because, it turned out to be Zhang Chen.

"And then there's the next question! A and B took a carriage from the capital to Tongzhou......"

Zhang Shou was suddenly surprised. He's not going down the wrong path, is he? This is the Mid-Levels Hall, not the Jiuzhang Hall, why did you suddenly talk about the pursuit? Moreover, is it still Zhang Chen? If he remembered correctly, this prince of Qin was the most annoying question. When he came to the door of the Mid-Levels Hall, he saw a figure popping out of the oblique, but it was Zhang Lu.

"Teacher, you're back! Early in the morning, I heard that you and Lu Sanlang went to the court together, and some people wanted to skip class, but Brother Chen was angry, so I blocked the door with Awu, and then said that whoever can make five questions will be let go. Results ......"

He paused for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "As a result, Brother Chen has a total of twenty questions, but even those guys who have been in the Cuiyun room for a month have not been able to make five questions, and Brother Chen has also taught seven or eight people with the support of the third prince and the fourth prince. ”

Zhang Chen: Yes!

After Zhang Shou came up with such a thought, he suddenly remembered something more important: "Can Zhang Chen remember so many questions?" ”

"This is thanks to Ah Wu." Zhang Lu smiled and said in a low voice, "Ah Wu copied a manual of all your previous topics, which came in handy at the critical moment. Besides, the third prince made one question, the fourth prince made two, and the others were scolded by Brother Chen for being better than two children, so it stopped. ”
