Millions of volumes!

Now it's Shi Yiwen's turn to be dumbfounded, there are so many!

While dumbfounded, there was a burst of ecstasy and surprise.

"Your Majesty, really, are there really so many?"

Belch!

Shi Yiwen's reaction made Zhu Yijun stunned. What's wrong with this man?

"Don't you think it's too much?"

"Isn't it good to have too much?"

"You're going to have to pay for it!"

"Then take some more money!"

Even when he sat in the restaurant on the side, Zhu Yijun still looked at Shi Yiwen with the eyes of a fool.

"You really don't think much?"

Again, Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Why didn't he think it was too much?

If it were someone else, shouldn't they be frightened when they heard millions of volumes, their faces were bloodless, their souls were not possessed, and then they knelt down and begged for mercy loudly, crying and saying that they were talking nonsense, asking the emperor for forgiveness?

But he was good, but he was very interested, and even invited himself to this restaurant to talk in detail.

This kid isn't stupid, is he?

"Are there really that many?"

With a smile on his face, Shi Yiwen's tone was still a little skeptical, how could there be so much?

"What do you know, my Ming Dynasty secret collection can be said to be the most in the past dynasties, Song Dynasty Xuanhe Palace, Taiqing Building, Longtu Pavilion stored, Jingkang Hou all returned to Yan, these Song Dynasty books taken away by the Jin people, in the Yuan Dynasty when the Jin, are the secret collection of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan specially ordered Boyan and Jiao Youzhi, take the Lin'an books, the two Song Dynasty secret books, except for a small part lost in the war, most of them became the Meng Yuan collection. In August of the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Wei took the capital, sealed the library books, guarded the palace gate, collected the Kuizhang Pavilion and the Chongwen Pavilion secretary books, and then transported them to Nanjing, the collection of books in the Great Inner increased greatly, and there were many Song and Yuan Dynasty secret books and good carvings, although so, Emperor Gaozu Chengzu Emperor always issued an edict to search for the previous dynasty and the folk testament, and vigorously collected the classics of the Quartet. He even did not hesitate to go to Annan, Waguo and other places to ask for books, and the ministers who collected books in the secret vault of the palace were more than millions of volumes......"

Oh, my God!

Widening his eyes in surprise, Shi Yiwen said in surprise as if he had entered Alibaba's treasure trove.

"Those books are there now?"

"Look at you, you just don't have knowledge, tell you that the books in the palace are folded upside down, and the surroundings are outgoing, it can be said that insects and rats can't be damaged, how can you not be there!"

The guest on the side couldn't help but interject.

"It can't be said that during the orthodox period, Nanjing Wenyuan Pavilion suffered a fire, lost a lot of books, and many Song and Yuan secret books were destroyed in the fire, which is really a pity. However, I think there should be no less than a million rolls in Nanjing now......"

After that, Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen with a smile.

"Well, now you know the huge amount of secret books in my Ming Dynasty!"

"Oh, that's a lot, it's a lot......"

Shi Yiwen rubbed his hands a little excitedly, looked at the young man in front of him, and said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, did the quasi-minister copy all those books?"

Belch...... Zhu Yijun was dumbfounded, this kid hasn't been fascinated yet.

"Well, that's millions of books, you, you have so much silver!"

"I know, I know, I don't have it now, but I can earn it, I can earn it, this opportunity is rare, I can't miss it."

Shi Yiwen, who originally thought that there were only tens of thousands of books, was not frightened by the massive collection of books, but the whole person fell into ecstasy.

Millions of volumes!

When surprised by the large number of books, Shi Yiwen also felt that it was a matter of course, after all, it is a well-known fact that the development of ancient Chinese civilization is in no way inferior to or even far greater than that of Western civilization, but why are there so few books?

It doesn't matter whether the famous Library of Alexandria has hundreds of thousands of volumes, but that Saladin sold more than 2 million volumes in the Cairo Public Library and more than 1 million volumes in the Syrian city of Amid to raise funds hundreds of years ago, most of which are ancient Greek and Roman texts.

The libraries of the Western barbarians have a collection of millions of books, why do the ancient Chinese people, who are known for loving and cherishing books, only have a collection of tens of thousands of books? Could it be that in the thousands of years of Chinese civilization history, tens of thousands of books have been written by the sages of the past dynasties?

Is this true?

Again, Shi Yiwen thought of the "Siku Quanshu", the so-called "great achievements", and how thrilling the "great achievements" were. How many ancient books have been destroyed? There is no way to know, where is the secret hidden in the palace of the Ming Dynasty?

Why is there only tens of thousands of books left in the brilliant Chinese civilization?

Not only was the book ruined, but even the stone tablets and cliff carvings on the mountain were worn away!

Again, Lu Xun's evaluation of "Siku Quanshu" came to Shi Yiwen's mind.

“…… However, they not only messed with the format of the ancient books, but also revised the texts of the ancients; Not only is it hidden in the inner court, but it is also issued in a place where the style of writing is more prosperous, so that the scholars of the world will never feel that there have been people with a lot of backbone among our Chinese authors......"

Yes!

The writings of those Chinese sages are the inheritance of civilization, how to destroy and enslave a nation? That is to destroy their culture, and only then can they enslave a people.

It is no wonder that in the history books of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to see how many secret books in the palace they seized when they entered Beijing, and after the capture of Nanjing, there is no record of sending the secret books of Nanjing to the north.

It seems that the books of the Beijing division were all destroyed by the hands of Li Zicheng, and the books of Nanjing were destroyed by fire and water over the years.

Yes!

Finally, at this moment, Shi Yiwen found the reason and found where the civilization condensed by the painstaking efforts of the sages of the past generations disappeared!

He's scared silly!

Zhu Yijun seemed to have forgotten his original intention, he was a young man, and when he saw Shi Yiwen sitting there stunned, he didn't say anything for a long time, he just thought he was scared.

There's a lot of money, that's amazing.

Pay for copying books, Lao Tzu's books will scare you to death.

Don't miss out!

How's that, I'm scared right now!

This would make him even forget the dilemma of even paying a silver tael for a reward, and just looked at Shi Yiwen triumphantly.

is like anyone who shows off his wealth, after Shi Yiwen showed off for a long time, Zhu Yijun, who was suddenly devastated, finally came to an absolute counterattack, how could he not be happy.

Just when he was happy, he saw Shi Yiwen stand up and say to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xie Zhen? Thanks for what?

Before Zhu Yijun could react, he listened to Shi Yiwen say.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving your minister a reason to earn money."

Why make money? looked at Shi Yiwen puzzled, Zhu Yijun's face was confused. What does he mean?

"Now I really don't have so much silver, but silver is always earned by people, so if Your Majesty Xu Chen copies all the books in the Great Inner Collection, I will send Your Majesty a deposit of twenty, no, three hundred thousand taels in the next two days, a few million taels a year, I think there will be more than ten or twenty years, I will be able to come up with this money after all."

Compared to the opportunity to preserve the writings created by the Chinese sages of the past dynasties, Qian ...... What's it?
