Chapter 239: To Build a Library

"Chen Jianghan greets Your Majesty!" Not daring to slack off, Jiang Han hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Holy?"

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou?"

In the school, most people didn't know Zhang Lingyang, and from Jiang Han's mouth, everyone knew that the person at the door was the Great Zhou Emperor, so they got up from their seats and knelt down to salute.

"For the New Year, you don't have to do these vain rituals, get up!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand to everyone.

When everyone had already gotten up, Zhang Lingyang looked at Jiang Han and said with a smile: "I never thought that Dean Jiang would be able to play such a good kite!" ”

"Your Majesty is smiling!" Jiang Han said modestly and asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to the Royal Academy?" ”

For the New Year, who is not reunited? Why did Zhang Lingyang suddenly run away to the Royal Academy? Jiang Han couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Lingyang said with a smile: "I want to come and see how all foreign teachers and students spend this Spring Festival, and when I see you today, I have to say, Dean Jiang, you did a very good job!" ”

"Your Majesty's reputation is what a minister should do!"

At this moment, there was a crowd of people in the school, and it was not a place to speak, so Jiang Han led Zhang Lingyang into a secluded garden and asked, "Your Majesty suddenly visited the Royal Academy today, but what important things do you want to tell Weichen?" ”

"Say you're too hearty, you're really hearty!" Zhang Lingyang was obviously in a good mood, and continued to smile: "I just felt a little bored staying in the palace, so I just wanted to come out for a walk."

But this Chinese New Year, I can't bother those ministers, as for taverns, teahouses, etc., they are also closed these days.

I thought about it, most of the students of the Royal Academy did not go home because of the long distance at home, and those foreign teachers were also celebrating the New Year in the Great Zhou for the first time, so I came to take a look.

I don't want to see it today, it's really an eye-opener.

Not bad! The festive atmosphere in the college is very good, and you, the dean, have a lot to do! ”

During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Han didn't bother Zhang Lingyang with those bad things, but just said a few words of modesty, and led Zhang Lingyang to visit around.

The Royal Academy is very lively, in addition to the cafeteria, the playground of the competition and the concert in the school, there are also some students who love poetry and calligraphy in another school to chant poems and write poems, so happy.

After turning around, it was already noon before I knew it, and while walking towards the cafeteria, Zhang Lingyang said to Jiang Han: "I want to build a library in the Royal Academy, and the construction will start after the Lantern Festival, as the dean of the Royal Academy, you must prepare early." ”

"Library?" Although it was the first time Jiang Han had heard these words, he quickly understood what they meant, and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder what the scale of the library is in your mind?" ”

"Well......" After a moment of silence, Zhang Lingyang said: "Naturally, it is necessary to include all the books in the world. Whether it is scriptures, histories, children, collections, poems, lyrics, songs, fu, or the literary and scientific works of Xiyi, they must all be included. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Han's movements couldn't help but pause, and said: "Your Majesty, this project is only very big, and it will not be completed at all in a short period of time!" ”

"I didn't let you do it all at once!" Zhang Lingyang said, "Buy some books first, and when the conditions are ripe, you can copy other books!" ”

"This ......" Jiang Han still hesitated. Although Zhang Lingyang's words are so, the amount of work is still very huge.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the history books of the previous dynasties and dynasties, it took ten or even twenty years.

What does this mean?

It shows that just one history in the subset of history will cost Jiang Han a lot of time, not to mention other more complex documents.

What's more, there are many documents and unique books, which only the royal and local clans have collections, and Jiang Han alone can't get them at all.

Zhang Lingyang also seemed to be aware of this problem, and said: "I can promise that in the next three years, the royal collection will be open to the academy.

As for the lonely book that has fallen into the people? I can make a decree that I will donate my treasured books everywhere. ”

After a pause, Zhang Lingyang smiled and said, "Dean Jiang don't have any doubts, there are so many students in the Royal Academy, each of them copies one book a year, and that is also three thousand." ”

"Your Majesty is planning to use the students of the academy to transcribe documents?" Hearing this, Jiang Han suddenly became calm, "I'm afraid that the ministers of the court will not agree!" ”

Jiang Han's worries are not unreasonable, and most of the important ministers of the court and the central government have been responsible for the revision of documents in previous dynasties.

Such a rare opportunity to leave a name in history, I am afraid that there are few people who are not impressed.

Zhang Lingyang smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way to stop Minister Naxi's mouth, you just need to do the things I arranged." ”

"Wenchen obeys!" Since Zhang Lingyang said so, if Jiang Han still doesn't express his position, he will be really stupid.

In fact, Zhang Lingyang has long wanted to build a library and repair books in the name of a library.

But because the timing was not right, Zhang Lingyang has not implemented it.

Before, if Zhang Lingyang wanted to repair books, he could only rely on those nobles in the Hanlin Academy, because they had the most time.

But if you ask the people of the Hanlin Academy to revise the book, the result is obvious, and the cultivation is another Confucian classic, which has little practical benefit to the country.

Besides, there are only a few people in the Hanlin Academy, how long will it take to finish the book?

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang did not decide to re-study the book until now.

The books that Zhang Lingyang wants to repair in his heart are naturally not just those subsets of scriptures and histories.

Most of the emperors of previous dynasties chose to revise books in order to show their cultural governance, but the books that Zhang Lingyang wanted to repair were not those subsets of scriptures and histories.

The reason why we want to include a subset of scriptures and histories now is just to hide people's eyes.

What Zhang Lingyang really wanted to do was to revise books on physics, chemistry, biology and other related aspects that had been transmitted from the West in medicine, geography, politics, and military affairs.

The benefits are clear.

In the process of repairing the book, the students of the Royal Academy will definitely be able to broaden their horizons, and not only be limited to this one-third of an acre of land in Da Zhou.

On the other hand, once these books were completed, Zhang Lingyang could order a large-scale printing to popularize science and technology, so as to realize the industrialization process of the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible.

How can Zhang Lingyang not want to do something that kills two birds with one stone?

Regarding Zhang Lingyang's desire to rebuild books in all aspects, it spread throughout the capital in less than a day.

The minister, who was originally sick at home, how could he still take care of his body at this moment? dragged the 'sick body' to Zhang Lingyang, wanting to stop this errand......
