In the first year of the Great Guang Dynasty, on the 28th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Beiping, Xiyuan, within the diligent administration. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this morning, Yang Lin sat above, looking at Ji Xiaolan and the others who were standing with his hands alone, his eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "Minister Ji, as the minister of the Ministry of Culture, a member of the imperial court, the Daguang Dynasty has been established for more than a month, I don't know, which aspect are you going to start working from?" ”

Ji Xiaolan was stunned, she didn't expect the emperor to ask herself like this? As the founding father of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, the subversive reform of the rule of officials caught him a little off guard, and so far, he still doesn't know what he should do? The unfamiliar position and unfamiliar job definition made him feel like he didn't know where to start.

The word culture covers too wide and too broad, horizontally including the classics and hundreds of books written by the sages of the past dynasties.

At this moment, Ji Xiaolan only felt that her head was big for a while, her temples were jumping suddenly, and her body that was hollowed out by the woman was a little restless, and she didn't know how to answer the emperor's question for a long time? For a moment, my heart became uneasy.

didn't immediately get the answer he wanted, Ji Xiaolan was silent for a long time, and Yang Lin was not angry, but said again: "Minister Ji, since the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, all dynasties have burned classics, and there are also famous masterpieces that have experienced war, annihilated in the red dust, and no longer exist in the world. Especially in the two generations of the former Qing Dynasty and Kangqian, they were even more prosperous, creating countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, killing famous Confucians, and burning down the classics, so that a large number of books were either deleted or changed, and the content was already unrecognizable, and it was too far from the original. ”

Several officials below are speculating about what the new emperor of the new country wants to say. What are you letting these people do? Ji Xiaolan, who was full of wealth, seemed to hear some doorways and knew what Yang Lin wanted to do for herself, but she didn't say much, but was still waiting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as officials of the Ministry of Culture, your duty is to reproduce and restore the culture of China to its original state. Moreover, it was classified into books and made into classics for future generations to admire. ”

Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin's words changed sharply, and he suddenly said: "All those present have been officials in the former Qing Dynasty, and they are responsible for compiling the Siku Quanshu in the guild hall. Qianlong was so happy that he relied on his own selfishness to delete or reduce the content of many classics, or burn them, and burned them with fire. Since you are the person in charge of compiling the Siku Quanshu, you must be very familiar with some deletions. ”

"Therefore, my temporary task for you is to restore the true content of those classics, and record them, record them, and print them in batches, and put them in the libraries of the world, and help find the errors in them, and further improve them."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaolan immediately stepped forward and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely lead your colleagues to ensure the completion of this task." Efforts are made to restore the original contents of all censored books within three years. But~ but...."

"But what? If you have something to say, just say it, don't stumble. Yang Lin urged.

"Your Majesty, those deleted and added books are very easy to handle, and I am very familiar with all of you with the changes, and I will soon be able to find them out and revise them. However, some of the books that were burned and destroyed by the Qing court are mostly famous and unique, and many of them have become extinct, and if only the memory is restored, not only will the workload be huge, but also there will be many flaws in the content, which is different from the original work. ”

Yang Lin nodded, showing a look of understanding, only thought for a moment, and then said: "This is simple, although the former Qing Dynasty burned many treasured classics, but it has not been extinguished, and there are still some in the royal library. When the time comes, if you can use it, you can use the token to take out some books from there and use them as references. ”

Hearing this, the officials present immediately became excited, and their eyes lit up.

To be able to compile the Siku Quanshu in the former Qing Dynasty, which official was not a knowledgeable person? Definitely a person who is rich in learning and is very obsessed with books, especially the peerless and unique book that has been handed down through the generations, the heirloom of famous masters, as a person who loves books, how can he not be excited when he hears this news? And who wouldn't like that?

In the world, where can there be more than the royal collection? What's more, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and then to the current Daguang Dynasty, the royal library was basically not affected by the war, and it was very well preserved, and the Yongle Dictionary in the royal collection was the focus of these people!

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't speak, they didn't expect Yang Lin to have such an agreement, which made them speechless with joy, and only by kneeling down could they express the surging meaning in their hearts.

"The emperor is wise, long live, long live, long live!"

Yang Lin is not a god, let alone mind reading, of course he doesn't know what the officials think, and he thinks that these people can't change their habit of kneeling and worshipping for a while. After all, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, such things have often happened in the past month or so, even though the prostration of the monarch has long been abolished.

Seeing this situation, Yang Lin hurriedly said: "Hey~ Hey, hurry up, didn't I say it a long time ago?" From now on, except for your own parents and ancestors, you are not allowed to bow down to anyone, get up, don't kneel anymore! ”

Immediately, everyone stood up one after another, and Ji Xiaolan even said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even with this old bone of Weichen, you have to restore those classics." ”

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, and said: "By the way, the ugly words will be talked about first, the classics of the Royal Library Pavilion, you can take them out to study and browse." However, you can only take one out at a time, and you have to register it, and you can only borrow the others after you return it next time. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, of course!" Everyone chimed in.

At this time, as if thinking of something, Yang Lin suddenly said: "Also, when you restore the classics, don't forget to classify them and put them on the shelves, and also have a catalog of the titles of the books, register and make a book, and sort them according to the English alphabet, so as to facilitate the search and reference of books in the future." ”

Everyone was stunned, and they could understand the classification and creation of a book list. However, what is the method of alphabetical ordering? They looked at each other, all of them looked dazed, and finally Ji Xiaolan was the representative, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, English alphabetical order, what is the method?" None of the ministers have heard of it~"

Yang Lin slapped his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Eh, why did I forget this stubble?" If you don't know the English language, you haven't heard of the English alphabetical method. ”

"That's it, Ji Xiaolan, you go to Zhao Xiang, the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the director of the Weapons Research Institute, he knows a lot about the sorting method of English letters and how to manage books specifically. When the time comes, you can ask him for help and learn about the English alphabetical method, and I won't explain this to you! ”

Ji Xiaolan and everyone are very curious, what is this English alphabetical order? Why did the emperor insist on this method to manage the collection? Despite the doubts and incomprehension in their hearts, everyone still said in unison: "Yes, the emperor~!" ”

At this time, Yang Lin looked at the Western clock on the side, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and thinking that there were arrangements behind him, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, that's it, you guys are trapped, and by the way, the Minister of National Defense Chao Sheng, the Minister of Education Zhuge Mou, and the Minister of Personnel Bailihe." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen must bring the words to ~!"

Ji Xiaolan agreed, and then everyone bowed down and retreated.
