"Zhuo Qing, how is the implementation of the plan of the secretary to set up large libraries in various provinces and libraries in various provinces?"
Listening to Zheng Kezang's questioning, Zhuo Wenyuan, a native of Ningbo who has been promoted to the secretary and supervisor of Zheng, responded respectfully:
"Back to the king's words, the secretary and supervisor have set up seven large libraries in Wuchang, Nanchang, Xinchang, Jiangning, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou, each with a collection of 300,000 books (volumes) and 2 million volumes (books), and the libraries of the four provincial cities of Ganzhou, Guilin, Guiyang, and Kunming are still under preparation. As for the local government-level libraries, there are more than 20 libraries in Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Taiping, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Huizhou, Chizhou, Anqing, Nankang, Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Shuntian, Guangzhou, Huizhou, etc., each with a collection of 100,000 books (volumes) and 500,000 volumes. ”
Next, Zhuo Wenyuan reported on the scope of the collection, basically most of them are subsets of classics and history, such as geography, agricultural administration, medicine, mathematics, civil engineering, and water control literature, but the number is not much, mainly in the provincial libraries, as for the translation works from Taixi, they are rare, very few.
"In addition to the major libraries, libraries, and branch libraries set up by the secretary and supervisor, there are a certain amount of books in the provincial Taixue, local government schools, and county schools." Strictly speaking, the secretary and supervisor should be regarded as the connection between the middle court and the outer court, although there is a connection, but it is not very close. "Therefore, the minister implores the king to order the school department to provide a list of books for the secretary to copy."
"Yes," Zheng Kezhang nodded, and recognized the other party's suggestion, the so-called king of a country needs cultural and martial arts, and Zheng Kezang's martial arts are not lacking, and the cultural governance aspect naturally cannot be relaxed, and the library project is part of his promotion of cultural governance, and he has to respond to his needs. "Lone will say hello to Chen Kejun."
Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang asked: "How many articles can be translated this year by the Siyi Pavilion, which is jointly organized by the secretary and the school department and the Yamen of the Fanyang countries. ”
Zhuo Wenyuan replied: "Due to the ban of the domain, those missionaries in Beiju Luzhou have adopted an uncooperative attitude, and only rely on the books brought by the Dutch Hongyi and Yinggui Li Yi merchants, and the translation is very slow, and it may not be close to the original meaning."
The questions raised by Zhuo Wenyuan are particularly obvious in some works of astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., but the war between Zheng Fan and the Roman Catholic Church is a war without the smoke of gunpowder, and the Cold War can only end if the other side completely admits defeat, so it is completely worth paying some price in Zheng Kezang's view.
"Then translate slowly." Zheng Kezhang said. "In addition, there are also desirable things in the books of Great Food and Persia, and I remember that there are several mathematics books such as "Algebra", "On Quadrilaterals", "Books of Arithmetic Applications", "The Key to Arithmetic", "Circumference", "The Book of Strings and Sine", and some books on optics and chemistry that I can't remember, so I will inquire about it myself."
It is also thanks to Zhuo Wenyuan's strong background in the countryside, if the orthodox Confucian children heard these barbarian articles, they would definitely jump up and dissuade Zheng Kezhang from staying away from the outside world, and he just had a headache at this moment and couldn't remember the titles of these books.
Looking at Zhuo Wenyuan's sad face, Zheng Kezhang was amused, so he handed over a book list in his hand: "Don't worry, the book can be found slowly, but the translation must be accurate, how many years, we hold the Heavenly Empire, Yelang is arrogant, behind closed doors, only in the circle of Tianli people's desires, but I don't know what the avenue is, the sage once said that the ceremony is in Siyi, in the eyes of Lone, this ceremony is not a ceremony, or can be interpreted as truth, truth, reason is in Siyi, but it is time to open your eyes and look at the universe." ”
Zhuo Wenyuan didn't know how to answer, so he had to make promises, Zheng Kezhang didn't say much about this, in fact, he couldn't say anything more, with his status, once these words got out, it would be a stormy sea, so when the dust had not settled between the north and the south, Zheng Kezhang was not ready to say it again.
After drinking Zhuo Wenyuan, Zheng Kezhang didn't want to deal with any official business for a while, so he left the government office and strolled around the house casually. Since the current Xia Wangfu was changed by the former governor of Huguang, Zheng Kezhang moved to the back court as he walked. Since he arrived in the back court, Zheng Kezhang didn't think much about it, and just walked straight into Geng Tanger's courtyard.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Hearing the voices of the maids greeting Zheng Kezang, Geng Tang'er greeted her with some surprise, in her impression, Zheng Kezang's daily life is very regular, and when it is time to deal with government affairs, he will never come to the back court, even if the waiters will come in accordance with the order set at the beginning of the month, it is rare to deviate from the due procedure like today.
"Why not?" Zheng Kezhang asked rhetorically. "Then the lonely is gone."
Seeing Zheng Kezang who was about to leave, Geng Tang'er immediately regretted it, she just wanted to share more of Zheng Kezang's favor on weekdays, and when the opportunity came, how could she be willing to turn Zheng Kezhang away: "The king can come to the concubines and ask for it, how dare he not welcome it." ”
Zheng Kezhang grabbed Geng Tang'er's hand with a smile, and several maids hurriedly bowed their heads, Rao had already given birth to two sons, Zhou Guan and Ping Guan, for Zheng Kezang, but Zheng Kezang's intimate actions were still ashamed of Geng Tang'er's face. Of course, this is mostly happy, after all, she is not the most favored among the women, that is, she is a little better than the three daughters of Tong Chunniang, Fang Yuniang, and Xie Ziling, who are already old, and the same as the Korean Li family, far less than the princess Chen Xianqiao and the other side concubine Feng Lianniang.
Walking into the inner room and repulsing the maid who sent the tea fruit, Zheng Kezhang stretched out his hand to hug Geng Tang'er, thinking that Zheng Kezang's face burned even more violently, but he didn't think that Zheng Kezhang suddenly said: "In order to exchange for the captured Mongolian prince Taiji, the north sent some old departments of the three feudatories to Haizhou, North Korea, and the people have been transported to Qiongzhou for 6 years. ”
Geng Tang'er's lust faded immediately, and her face was slightly pale, and she seemed to think of the days when she hid in the east.
Seeing his concubine trembling, Zheng Kezang, who had been prepared, stroked Geng Tang'er's back with his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, you have a lonely, there are Zhou officials, Ping Guan, don't be afraid, don't worry"
Under Zheng Kezang's care, Geng Tang'er, who had stabilized her mood, wiped the tears on her face: "The concubine thanked the king, just now the concubine lost her temper, and the concubine was also happy to say it, I didn't expect to hear the news of the old man now."
Zheng Kezhang didn't care about Geng Tang'er's insincere statement, just looked at each other gently, in Zheng Kezhang's comforting gaze, Geng Tang'er thought for a while, and then said: "The concubines don't know how the king is going to settle them, if they meet, it will affect the king's layout, and the concubines will be gone." ”
"How does a few people affect the layout of getting orphans." Zheng Kezhang laughed. "Sugar is too cautious."
Having said that, in fact, the old people of the three feudatories who have been screened have two places, one is to be placed in Qiongzhou, and the other is to be assigned to Cam Ranh, Seogwipo and Xiboni. Of course, Zheng Kezang's promise to Geng Tang'er will not be impossible, after all, giving a few relatives and close servants to Geng's mansion will also affect the court situation, not to mention that letting Geng Tang'er come forward may be more reassuring. However, the secret spies secretly stuffed in by the Qing court are not so lucky, as long as there is a suspicion, they will all be sent to Shilu, anyway, they all crawl out of the pile of dead people, and it is not a big deal to die again.
"Well, let's see each other." Geng Tanger said with gains and losses. "It's been a long time since I saw them, and I don't know if I remember the faces and names of these people."
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask for Sugar's opinion." Geng Tang'er was a little distracted, but Zheng Kezhang gave a dose of fierce medicine. "Is it also necessary for Pingyubo to arrange for him to meet the old man before?"
Ping Yubo is Shang Xiguan, who is now known as Shang Ande, and now he is only the same age as Zheng Yang and Zheng Di, but he was suspicious of Zheng Kezang and did not enter the Young Martial Arts School with the two sons of the Zheng family, so when he heard Zheng Kezang's ill-intentioned Jian Yiyi, Geng Tang'er, who regarded Shang Xiguan as his own brother, immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, when Shang Fan had an accident, Ande was still young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to remember anything." Geng Tang'er naturally rejected Zheng Kezang's proposal for Shang Xiguan. "And the concubine thinks that even the old man of Shang Fan may not know and remember that there is such a son, so it is better to be appeased by the concubine and the nephew."
Zheng Kezhang couldn't accuse Geng Tang'er of being too careful, so he just sighed faintly: "In this way, Shang Zhide and others are still treated preferentially by Kangxi in Beijing, and Gu Yuan thought that he could divide some of the old people of Shang Fan with the help of Pingyubo, and it seems that Gu is a little wrong." ”
Geng Tang'er was originally a character with seven tricks, otherwise he would not have resolutely chosen to take the initiative to commit to Zheng Kezang, so at this moment, he heard Zheng Kezang's tone was not good, and subconsciously thought that Zheng Kezhang was useless for Shang Ande, and immediately changed color a little, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Zheng Kezhang covered his cherry mouth with his hand.
"When Lone welcomed you back then, he promised to take good care of Ande, so you don't have to think nonsense."
Geng Tang'er's heart moved, eating and drinking like pigs and dogs is actually not a good way to take care of him, Geng Tang'er naturally doesn't want his younger brother to be trained to be a waste, but even Zheng clan relatives like Zheng Keshuang and Zheng Keju are in captivity, how can the descendants of Shang Kexi get out of the cage.
"Your Majesty, that's not what the concubines meant." Geng Tang'er hesitated again and again and decided to give it a go. "The concubine is saying that Ande will also reach the age of making contributions in a few years, if he can help the king, it is okay to meet the old people of Shang Domain."
Zheng Kezang looked at Geng Tang'er, whose attitude had changed greatly, in surprise, and before he could distinguish the true meaning of the woman, he heard Geng Tang'er say: "Now that Ande is growing up day by day, the concubine begs the king to let him go on his own like Chen Hou when the time comes." ”
Chen Hou refers to Chen Long, the Marquis of Labuan, who is a local tyrant who is like the lord of the country, Geng Tang'er's mention is actually to let Shang Ande stand on his own, but on the one hand, he may be able to use this to clear up the remnants of some of the hardcore three feudatories, and on the other hand, giving a hundred-mile island will not shake the foundation of Zheng Fan, so Zheng Kezhang is a little moved.
"It's also a good thing to beat in the wind and waves, but," Zheng Kezhang looked at Geng Tang'er. "There is no possibility in China, you can only go to the West, the West is hot, in case something happens, don't you regret it?"
Geng Tang'er gritted her teeth: "Uncle Ping already has an heir, the lineage of the Shang family's house can be spread, and the concubine is also worthy of her uncle, no regrets!" ”
"Lone has ordered the Ministry of Rites to agree on a new jury law, once Uncle Ping Yu goes out, it will be an internal domain, and he will no longer enjoy the status of an earl, can you accept it?"
"Concubines are acceptable!"
"Ender is still too young now, let's talk about it when I'm older"
