In fact, when it was determined that the way back was clear, Zhao Weiji shifted all his attention to these books in the Library of Alexandria.

One of the purposes of his trip to Baghdad was to introduce Western texts, especially the science classics. Originally, Zhao Weiji hoped to get these things from the famous Wisdom Museum, after all, the Wisdom Museum in Baghdad has an extremely important position in the exchanges between the East and the West, where there are not only a collection of books, but also a large number of people engaged in the translation and sorting of the collection.

However, after seeing these books in the Library of Alexandria, Zhao Weiji knew that he could save a lot of effort, because even if it was only a part of the original collection, it was a huge wealth, and with these books, it was enough for Xinhua Academy to study for many years.

However, the problem is also placed in front of Zhao Weiji, that is, it is estimated that no one in his acquaintance is proficient in ancient Greek, or the language of other books.

In other words, even if he had books, he still had to turn to the Wisdom Hall to see if he could at least translate them into Arabic first.

On the other hand, the old man is also playing the idea of these books, but the problem faced by the old man is diametrically opposite to Zhao Weiji, he himself knows ancient Greek in addition to Middle Persian, and even if he is a book in other languages, he can find corresponding scholars who can translate it.

But now the ownership of the book in the secret room should be in the hands of Zhao Weiji, who has the deed and title deed of the house, and the Arab Empire, like the West, cannot infringe on the private property of individuals.

In this way, even if the old man can inform the official through the Wisdom Pavilion, as long as Zhao Weiji doesn't give it, they can't forcibly take away these books.

However, while the two were working on the idea of these books, the difference in their identities began to make the two look at the issue differently.

Although Zhao Weiji also pays attention to the importance of academics, in the final analysis, he is basically a politician, and since he is a politician, the things he considers are more complicated.

At this time, Zhao Weiji was not only thinking about how to find people to translate these books, but also considering whether these books could attract talents in addition to bringing knowledge to Xinhuacheng.

At this time, Zhao Weiji no longer planned to simply turn to the Wisdom Pavilion to help him translate these books, he planned to use these books to poach people from the Wisdom Pavilion.

For he could see from the old man's performance that the books of the Library of Alexandria were as attractive to any scholar as gold, if not more than gold.

But there is one thing that Zhao Weiji is not sure of, that is, whether these scholars can really go overseas for these books, and geographically speaking, the Xinhua city of Baghdad is too far away.

And the treatment of the Wisdom Pavilion is also extremely good, in terms of treatment, Zhao Weiji is not sure that he can give better treatment, at most it is flat.

However, he was still willing to give it a try, so he confessed his identity to the old man.

To Zhao Weiji's surprise, although the old man had not heard his name, he knew Xinhua City.

"I know Xinhuacheng, it is said that it seems to be very far overseas, even farther than the Tang Dynasty (the Arabs do not know the difference between the Tang and Song dynasties, because the reputation of the Tang Dynasty is too great, so many countries still call the Central Plains Tang many years after the fall of the Tang Empire)."

"Where did the old gentleman hear about Xinhuacheng?"

"From my son, who is a businessman who travels back and forth between the local area and the Tang, but I heard him say that recently he has started to have some business dealings with a city called Xinhuacheng that belongs to the Tang Dynasty. From there, he could buy cheaper cotton cloth, and my clothes were made from cotton cloth bought from Xinhua City. ”

It was only at this time that Zhao Weiji discovered that the clothes on the old man's body were made of cotton, and at this time, the old man also took out a gold coin from his pocket.

This gold coin Zhao Weiji is too familiar with, it is the gold coin minted by their Xinhua City.

"Is this your gold coin?"

"Yes, that's what we minted there."

"How did you mint such gold coins? Several of my friends have tried to copy it, but all of them have failed, and this is a very special way of casting. And the content of this gold coin is quite pure, how do you remove impurities?

Also, how exactly is this cotton cloth of your Tang made? The people on our side have been studying for a long time and have not found the principle? ”

As soon as he heard the old man's question, Zhao Weiji knew that his plan to poach people might have a play, because now he not only has these books in his hands, but also has an extra trump card, that is, those technologies in Xinhua City.

Since those technologies are all advanced technologies that he brought through time-traveling, people in this era don't want to crack them in a short period of time.

And for these top students, what cannot be cracked has a fatal attraction.

"So, sir, I would like to discuss something with you."

"You say."

"I'm going to ship these books back to Xinhua City."

As soon as the old man heard that Zhao Weiji was going to transport these books back, he immediately stopped doing it, but at this moment, from his position, there was no way to stop it, although he helped find these books.

"However, because of the language of these books, I need someone to translate them."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes began to light up, and he was very confident that there was basically no way for anyone else to translate these books except for the people in their Wisdom Pavilion, because now the place with the most ancient Greek classics was their Wisdom Pavilion, and even the Byzantine Empire did not have as many as they had.

"So, I hope that the people from your Wisdom Pavilion can help me translate these books, of course, I don't want you to help me translate them for nothing, in addition to the corresponding remuneration, after these books are translated, I will also have people copy copies of them as gifts to your Wisdom Pavilion."

After listening to Zhao Weiji's words, the old man almost didn't shed tears, because this condition is really generous, as long as they can copy a copy and bring it back to the Wisdom Hall, they can already help Zhao Weiji translate for free, and now not only to copy, but also to pay, this can only praise Allah to praise Zhao Weiji.

But will Zhao Weiji really be such a Lei Feng? The answer is naturally no, how can such a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be so early Lei Feng, his proviso soon came out.

"However, the translation of these books needs to be carried out in Xinhua City, which means that your translators will go to Xinhua City with the books, and when the translation is completed and the copies are transcribed, our people will send back the copies that have been copied by your translators by boat."

When this condition was proposed, the old man was a little hesitant, because Tang was far enough for them, and at this moment, Zhao Weiji's request was to go to Xinhua City, and it was difficult to predict when he would be able to come back, so he needed to think about it.

"I need to think about this, and I also need to go back to the Wisdom Pavilion to report this matter to the curator, please allow me a little time."

Of course, Zhao Weiji didn't expect the old man to agree to his request immediately, so he agreed to the old man's request.

Now that the matter is over for the time being, the group will have to return to the house.

When they returned to the house, Wang Dayuan and the two of them were still waiting at the entrance, because when the person who came back in advance to touch the mechanism pressed the mechanism, they quickly returned to the secret room, but after he went back, he found that the door of the secret room had been closed, and he didn't dare to determine whether it was because he touched the mechanism, so he found Wang Dayuan.

After Wang Dayuan passed this person's description, he guessed that another mechanism might have been discovered, and the other mechanism could only be opened by closing the mechanism here.

Therefore, Wang Dayuan did not dare to rashly start the mechanism under the stove, because what if something happened to the other side if it was opened here.

So they had to wait at the entrance to see if the people inside had a way to get out on their own.

However, when Wang Dayuan and the two children greeted Zhao Weiji, Zhao Weiji did not seem to have encountered something bad as they imagined, but was excited.

This kind of expression usually only appears on the person who has picked up gold, but Zhao Weiji did not show this expression when he entered the secret room before and saw so much gold, which can't help but make people wonder if Zhao Weiji found something more valuable than gold in the secret room.

However, before Wang Dayuan could ask, an old man he didn't know crawled out of the entrance of the secret room.

And Zhao Weiji greeted the old man while instructing others: "Lao Zhang, you have been translating for so long anyway, you should be familiar with the old gentleman, so you can send the old gentleman back to the Wisdom Pavilion by the way." ”

After Lao Zhang agreed, he helped the old man out of the house.

After the old man left, Wang Dayuan seized the opportunity to ask Zhao Weiji: "Lord Wang, who is that old man, and what good things have you found under the secret room, is it worth more than gold?" ”

"Of course I've found good things, which gold can't buy." Zhao Weiji's excitement at this time reached a peak after the old man left.

"So, who the hell is that old man?"

"He, he's a scholar in the Wisdom Pavilion, you know the Wisdom Pavilion."

Wang Dayuan, who often goes to Baghdad, naturally knows what the Wisdom Pavilion is, but why does Zhao Weiji have a relationship with the scholars of the Wisdom Pavilion?

Zhao Weiji naturally knew that Wang Dayuan had countless questions in his stomach at the moment, but he was really hungry at this time, so he ordered someone to prepare a meal, and then at the dinner table, Zhao Weiji told the rest of the people who had not entered the secret room all their encounters inside.

"Lord Wang, according to your meaning, these books are now ours, and that group of scholars from the Wisdom Pavilion will also go to Xinhua City because of these books?"

"If it goes well, it should be like this."

Seeing that Zhao Weiji was full of confidence, Wang Dayuan no longer had any doubts.

However, when Wang Dayuan had no doubts, Zhao Weiji fell into a new trouble, that is, how to move them out without harming those books?
