Chapter 54: Qian Qianyi (II)
Qian Qianyi is keen on fame, but his weakness in character makes him always in a dilemma and capricious at critical moments, making his life full of contradictions.
Just like at the beginning, he was afraid of surrendering, but he engaged in anti-Qing activities after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, and often secretly liaised with the anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces in the southwest and southeast seas.
Seeing that Qian Qianyi was still hesitating, Liu Ru was dissatisfied, and the cup in his hand was heavily placed on the stone table, and the tea splashed when he touched it.
Liu Ru looked at Qian Qianyi with a smile and said, "Master, I have been hearing you say that you are in captivity during this time, and you often miss Daming. It's just a great time, so how can you miss it! ”
Seeing Liu Ru's appearance, Qian Qianyi knew that he was unlucky, if he didn't answer satisfactorily, he might have to sleep on the floor tonight.
Qian Qianyi hurriedly said: "Madame, don't worry, the old man just wants to think about it clearly, how to better plan this matter!" ”
Chen Yonghua heard that he was busy beating snakes with sticks, and said: "Mr. Yushan, you are the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, you have a wide range of friends, and you have many disciples, as long as you come forward to contact, you will definitely respond." ”
Liu Ru heard it and said, "I'll go get pen and ink." ”
Regardless of whether Qian Qianyi agrees or not, he went to the study to get the four treasures of the study.
Seeing Liu Ru's anxious appearance, Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly.
The old husband and young wife, Qian Qianyi is very fond of this wife, coupled with Liu Ru's own character, so he often occupies a dominant position in the family.
Chen Yonghua knew that the general had another important use for Qian Qianyi, so in order not to make him think that he was forcing him, he was resentful.
After Liu Rushi left, Chen Yonghua said: "Mr. Yushan, my lord has great respect for Mr. The Book of Rites has been free, and it is reserved for you. ”
Qian Qianyi was a little moved when he heard that as long as he passed, he would be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Chen Yonghua increased his stakes and continued: "Moreover, my lord hopes to form a Cultural Bureau with his literary cultivation!" ”
"What is the Cultural Affairs Bureau responsible for?" Qian Qianyi asked with some curiosity.
Chen Yonghua explained: "The Cultural Affairs Bureau is responsible for the comprehensive management of cultural and librarianship in the area under its jurisdiction, and at the same time, the most important task is to expand the influence of Chinese culture in the world. ”
Cultural Affairs Bureau, Social and Cultural Undertakings, Librarianship, and Expansion of Chinese Culture......
Hearing these words, Qian Qianyi understood a little, but he didn't understand it very much.
"The old man doesn't understand a little, please explain!"
Chen Yonghua thought for a moment and said: "Cultural undertakings refer to organizations engaged in research and creation, the production of spiritual products, and cultural public services in the field of culture. ”
Qian Qianyi said even more confusedly: "Guozijian, the old man understands. The college in Xiamen, the old man also knew a little. But what is that newspaper? ”
"Newspaper? Oh, it is a tool for disseminating written materials through the use of paper, and it is to publish information from the newspaper and important information from the private sector, as well as personal comments on current affairs. It is expected that more people can understand current affairs and reflect and guide public opinion. As for the more specific things about the newspaper, Mr. needs to ask my master, and the junior students don't know much about it. ”
"Oh!" Qian Qianyi heard that he had some interest in the newspaper.
Chen Yonghua continued: "There are many poor people in China, who are willing to study but are too shy to buy books. That's why our lord will establish a librarian, a place for collecting, sorting, and collecting library materials for people to read and reference. It is roughly similar to the Chongwen Yuan of the Song Dynasty and the Yushengtang of the Ming Dynasty. The difference is that only a few people can go in and check it. The library established by our lord is that as long as you are Chinese, you can enter the librarian at will to consult the materials. It allows students to use the library freely for self-study for a long time. ”
"Then aren't you afraid of those books being lost?" Qian Qianyi asked.
Chen Yonghua said: "The library has special management personnel to manage it, and after the readers enter, they can only consult it, not take it away. ”
Qian Qianyi heard it and said: "It's also good governance!" ”
"My lord's heart is for the people!" Chen Yonghua praised, "As for expanding Chinese culture, it is to spread Chinese culture, so that more people can understand and accept Chinese culture." For example, sending envoys to foreign countries to promote culture, or allowing foreign scholars to study at Confucius Institutes. If Yi Di enters China, then China will be. As long as those foreigners accept the Chinese culture, then one day they will be able to assimilate them. Just like the former Xianbei and Uighurs. ”
Hearing so many responsibilities of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Qian Qianyi's eyes lit up.
The importance of this Cultural Bureau to the dissemination of Chinese culture is definitely not comparable to its simple works such as "Writing Collection" and "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty".
And in the future, as long as you are studying, you don't know your own money Qianyi!
It's not a problem to leave a name in history.
Compared to this, the little bit of face and self-esteem in front of the students is not worth mentioning.
Qian Qianyi was excited and said: "The old man has proofread Confucian scriptures, and also compiled the History of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a little literary attainment. Since the general values it so much, the old man has no choice but to go to help the general regardless of his old age and frailty! ”
Chen Yonghua said with a smile when he heard it: "Thank you Mr. Yushan for your help!" ”
Qian Qianyi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, it's all a family, the old man will write to his friends and students later, so that they can respond to the general!" ”
After each got his place, Qian Qianyi and Chen Yonghua drank together.
At the banquet, Qian Qianyi was worthy of being the former leader of the literary world, quoting scriptures and classics, and talking about it.
That bearing, that demeanor, I don't know how much more courageous than Chen Yonghua, who has just debuted.
Looking at Qian Qianyi's high-spirited appearance, Chen Yonghua sighed in his heart: He looks like a good person, no wonder he is in his sixties and can still marry Liu Rushi.
After the two of them chatted for a few words, Qian Qianyi suddenly asked: "Da Mu, do you mean Zhou Gong, or do you mean Gao Zuhu?" ”
When Chen Yonghua heard this, his heart was sudden, but he quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "The world needs Zhou Gong, and my lord is Zhou Gong!" ”
Chen Yonghua still has another sentence that he hasn't said, but Qian Qianyi understands it in his heart.
If the world needs a character like Liu Bang, then Zheng Chenggong will become Liu Bang.
The deeper meaning is: those who win hearts and minds win the world!
Qian Qianyi sighed and said, "I understand! ”
Liu Ru had already come with the four treasures of the study, and Qian Qianyi stood up and took the pen.
Hurriedly wrote hundreds of letters, and then sent a few servants to send them away. (To be continued.) )
