"Bang Bang!" The knock on the door scared me, and I quickly sat up on the couch, only to realize that we are in the Tang Dynasty, in the wonderful era of expansionism, aggression, and feudalism, there will be no police uncle, a professional who makes the little people frightened.

It turned out to be Mr. Qiu Danmo Qiu, the old man who took pleasure in abusing prisoners and torture me as soon as he entered the door, he happily bowed his hand to me and said: "My subordinates wish my lord a happy marriage...... very kind and kind look, it is really hard to believe that his hobby is so special, he stood in front of me and trembled a lot of sycophant.

"Okay, your mind, Fang Mou has received it, what is the matter with coming to me?" I finally couldn't help but interrupt him.

"My lord, my subordinates have already sent people to collect a lot of books on the Great Cannibals and Great Qin people, and now they have collected more than a thousand volumes, all of which are hidden in the courtyard, I don't know when my lord will be free."

Hearing Qiu Danmo's words, I couldn't help but jump up in surprise: "Really?!" ”

"Naturally, it's true, my subordinates don't have the courage to lie to you." The old guy had a weird laugh.

"Okay, there's a future, Elder Qiu, please, quickly lead Fang to take a look, this thing, I've been talking about it for almost a year, right? If you don't mention it today, this official will almost forget this important matter. Wandering around the courtyard, he finally came to the door of a room guarded by a guard, Qiu Danmo waved his hand, and the guard immediately removed the key to open the door.

With a creak, a room full of Western texts lined up neatly on the shelves.

"These?!" I couldn't help but widen my eyes, amazing, these guys in the concert hall are good enough, in this era, books are not as easy as later generations can be printed in tens of thousands of copies, these days, the West is still copying by hand, in this room, I am afraid that there are no less than seven or eight hundred volumes, using the kind of straw paper that has been passed down from Egypt to Rome, very hard, very rough, but I can still see that the handwriting on it is very clear, I think, these manuscripts must have been treasured by their owners.

"These, how much did they cost?" I couldn't help but turn my head and say to Judan Mo, who was standing beside me with a happy face.

"It didn't cost much, in fact, these are our subordinates scattered in the Western Regions, Longyou and Chang'an......" Qiu Danmo seemed to feel embarrassed to say loudly, leaning into my ear and muttering quietly.

Hearing Qiu Danmo's whisper, he couldn't help but widen: "What? You mean, these are all ?! ”

I had an expression of disbelief, staring blankly at the old man in front of me who was smiling very obscenely and slightly shy,----------------------------------------------------------- listening to Qiu Danmo's words, I really couldn't laugh or cry, is this still what the staff of the state organ does? It's even more hateful than bandits, I raised my head, looked at this big room of books, in front of the large number of Western classics that were smuggled and abducted back by the Jinjuyuan through various channels, I was really emotional, forget it, since the things have arrived here, since they are all committed by our subordinates, these things naturally belong to stolen goods, so I decided, in the name of the Jinjuyuan, all confiscated, and Qiu Danmo praised my wise decision. It's simply taking off your pants and farting, an extra frame.

It can be seen from this that the signs of situationism and bureaucracy have already shown signs in the harmonious feudal era of the Tang Dynasty.

Well, Western classics, and a considerable number of food classics, Qiu Danmo also told me that this is only a very small part. "My subordinates have received a tip, among the many big food merchants in Chang'an City and the Daqin merchants in the extreme west, I am afraid that the collection of books is several times more than ours, and I heard that in a big city thousands of miles away from my Tang Dynasty, there are countless rare and rare books, countless books, and classics......" Qiu Danmo's eyes lit up when he said this, and he was very, well, I can't accept a fifty or sixty-year-old guy holding this kind of look in front of me. Quickly turned his face to the side, pretended to tear down the book and checked it in his hand, while casually asking, "What is that city called?" Is it called Rome or what? ”

"It's not Rome, it's a place further west, and the name of the city seems to be Castle of Constantus." Qiu Danmo's words really startled me, "Are you talking about Constantinople?" "I took two big strides to Ju Danmo, and although Constantinople was closer to Chang'an than Rome, it was still thousands of miles away.

Qiu Danmo frowned and thought for a long time, and then said suddenly: "Your Excellency's ability to draw inferences from one case is really powerful, and what your subordinates said just now is Constantinople." ”

I'm speechless, I have to pay attention to skills when I pat myself, what is this called, even place names can be inferred? Depend on!

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I continued to circle around the room, looking through these books, the Tang Dynasty may not know, but I know very well, I soaked MM back then was specialized in the study of Western ancient history, Constantinople after the destruction of the Western Roman Empire, and maintained its rule for nearly a thousand years, and was once severely humiliated by a group of Crusader knights led by a blind governor of Venice, and finally fell under the butcher's knife of the Turks, that is, the descendants of the Turks. It seems that in the fourth century A.D., there was a relationship with our Chinese nation, and it seems that the Nestorian religion was introduced to China at that time. But this is useless for me, I will not have the interest of traveling abroad in this era of no planes and trains, and I have no interest in abandoning my family and riding a camel across the desert in order to see the ancient Western world, in that case, it is very likely that I will become the first excellent young man who has nothing to do and has no nerve to cross the desert, and as a result, he will die of thirst because of this, and achieve the infamy of being the first stupid person in the crossing ranking.

Something is wrong, something is wrong, I finally remembered a big thing, all the classics here, none of them I knew, fuck, what the fuck.

"What's wrong with you, sir? Why doesn't your face look good? ”

Not to mention my face, I'm almost delirious now, and I'm angry! Breathing deeply, I took a few more breaths, and my mood finally regained a little peace, and I bared my front teeth to Qiu Danmo to show that my body and I am in a good mood: "Old Qiu, Fang has something to ask, these ......" I pointed to the classics that probably contain all the languages of the West and the Middle East: "Does anyone know how to read it?" Or rather, can someone translate them? ”

"Translation?" Qiu Danmo looked puzzled: "My lord, my subordinates don't understand." ”

"Translation is to translate the language of the Great Food and our Datang characters, such as this booklet, translate all the words on it and write them in my Datang characters. Do you understand? ”

Qiu Danmo suddenly realized: "You're talking about translation, right?" ”

"Well, that's roughly what it means, whether it's a general translator or a translator, are there any talents in this area?" I asked with some urgency, without multilingual people who are familiar with Chinese characters and these Western characters, this treasure trove of classics containing Western wisdom and technology is equivalent to a pile of waste that clogs the sewers.

Qiu Danmo stared at the very innocent eyes and blinked a few times, shook his head and said: "My lord, forgive us, when you asked us to find the Western classics, the same is true for the orders sent out by our subordinates, I really don't know that we still need to translate these books." ”

“…… It's okay, Old Qiu, I don't blame you for this, I blame me, I was thinking about how to get these things, but I forgot about it. "I'm so angry that I want to draw from my ears, but it's useless for me to be anxious about this kind of thing, these classics, I'm afraid that there are classics in Latin, Greek, Syriac, Persian and other languages, at least I looked through five books, each of which has its own differences in the arrangement of words and the shape of the letters, which is nerve-wracking.

-----------------------------------------------------------My lord, although we don't have a translator in the concert hall, we ...... what we do" Qiu Danmo didn't seem to want to see his boss's painful and remorseful expression, and after touching his goatee for a long time, he spoke cautiously.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Listening to Qiu Danmo's tone, is there a way for him to do it?

"My Tang Chang'an City is the largest giant city in the world, with more than 100,000 households and a population of no less than one million...... "What does Qiu Danmo mean by this? I don't know how large the population has anything to do with whether or not you can translate these babies.

Seeing that my face was not good, Qiu Danmo stopped boasting after laughing dryly twice, and put his words on the main point: "In my Chang'an City, in the East and West Cities, there are many merchants in the Western Regions, and even farther away from the Great Food and Great Qin Kingdom!" ”

"Smack!" I slapped Qiu Danmo on the shoulder, accidentally slapped this old guy and almost broke my bones, rubbing my shoulder with cracked teeth, with a look of resentment.

Good! This old pervert is really a change in his head, well, his brain is really fast, why didn't this son think of this? The Western merchants of Chang'an City, not to mention tens of thousands, at least thousands, there are only a few countries in the West, and most of them are Latin, Greek and other major languages, these people live in our Tang Dynasty all the year round, and they also have a certain degree of understanding of Chinese characters and Chinese language, with them, for the translation of these classics, it is like a savior falling from the sky, great, no wonder people often say that there is an old man in the family, Qiu Danmo really confirmed this old saying, really, excited I don't know how to praise him.
