Chen Fusheng naturally knew what Shen Zui wanted to say, patted the double swords on his waist, and explained with a smile: "Brother Yazi, have you forgotten that I am also a person who practices martial arts, for a person who practices martial arts, a divine weapon that suits his heart will not be changed even if he is a thousand gold, I plan to find a real master to tailor a weapon for me in the future." ”

"Then you're too arrogant, aren't you?" It seemed that although he accepted Chen Fusheng's statement, Shen Zui still regretted, "They can't sell this stone at such a high price, in my opinion, at least a half discount is easy." ”

Chen Fusheng shook his head and said solemnly: "For us martial arts practitioners, the weapon in our hands is everything, I think it is worth 10,000 taels, I will spend 10,000 taels, and I will never bargain, otherwise I will despise the weapon in my hand." ”

Shen Zui shook his head, and said helplessly: "Forget it, I really can't communicate with you martial arts practitioners, let's go to the next layer." ”

If the first three floors are at most handicrafts, the fourth floor is really linked to art and culture.

The first floor is full of books and framed paintings not with scrolls, but even the sculptures are far more elaborate than the ones on the first floor.

"This kind of painting, called oil painting, is said to be blended with oil pressed from those plant species, so it doesn't fade even after a long time. Shen Zui saw that Chen Fusheng seemed to be very interested in these paintings, and opened his mouth to introduce.

It looks quite real, and it looks like it is in line with the legendary Tianzhu "concave and convex flower" technique carried forward by Zhang Seng Xuan. Although Chen Fusheng is not very proficient in painting, he still has eyesight, "Our ink painting has bones, and their oil paintings have meat, which can be regarded as equal, but from the perspective of artistic conception, our virtual and real life is a step higher than their special realism." ”

"Why, aren't you interested in this?" said Shen Zui.

"That's not true, it's just enough to buy two and hang them up to study and compare, I don't need too much, and I'm not very good at drawing. Chen Fusheng shrugged.

In fact, what really attracted him more was the books and parchment scrolls.

That's the real treasure.

"I heard that in the West, when there was no printing press, every book had to be copied by the copyist himself, and when he finished one, he had to cut off his fingers and inlay them on the cover to prevent him from leaking out, and I don't know if it was true or not?" Chen Fusheng asked half-jokingly, remembering a record he saw while reading.

"Of course it's fake, doesn't the prince hear the truth that what he hears is false, and what he sees is believing?" The one who answered was not drunk, but an old man with silver hair and blue eyes, a towering nose, and a white Confucian dress with an ink background, who was also the steward of this layer.

"Sure enough, these classic books and calligraphy and paintings still have to find a literate person to take care of them. Chen Fusheng suddenly had such a thought in his heart, and he clenched his fists at this foreigner who looked even bigger than the Great Qi people, "Under Chen Fusheng, the cursive characters are upright, and I have seen Mr. ”

The other party replied, "Your Excellency can call Yuan Tianxiang by the name below, or the word Vientiane, as for the original name, even if you tell your Excellency, you will not understand, so there is no need to mention it." ”

"Yuan Tianxiang?" Chen Fusheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he heard the word Vientiane again, and hurriedly spoke: "Could it be that the old man is the master of this Vientiane Pavilion?"

"There is no need to be restrained in front of me, it is not the first time that you know why Your Excellency is laughing," the other party seemed to anticipate Chen Fusheng's reaction, and the other party chuckled, "This name is indeed borrowed from that Mr. Yuan Tiangang, after hearing that he is able to look at the sky and know everything, I really admire it, so I took this name to pay tribute to the former sage." As for the owner of this Vientiane Pavilion, it is naturally impossible for him to be a mere follower, I just took a name, since Your Excellency knows this rumor, and you also know a little about my Western studies, I don't know what kind of books you want to find?"

Chen Fusheng shook his head and humbly asked: "You are an expert in this area, please introduce one or two first." ”

The other party was obviously very happy to be able to give Chen Fusheng a literacy, stroked his beard and said: "Then it is necessary to mention Master Aristotle's "Logic", his status in our hearts is no less than that, your so-called Confucius and Mencius two saints, can be called Yasheng, and there is no Yasheng, then Yazi, in short, his thoughts are the foundation of our understanding of the world." ”

After listening to Yuan Tianxiang's general introduction, Chen Fusheng's head quickly understood that he was not one of those Confucian scholars who could only read the Four Books and Five Classics: wasn't that what Mozi and the Later Saints advocated?

"It seems that not only my Shenzhou has the sage education. Chen Fusheng looked at Shen Zui's thoughtful appearance, and thought to himself, "If it weren't for the deposition of the Hundred Schools of Thought in ancient times, the dominance of Confucianism, the sinking of the Mo family, and the fact that the Later Sage was even divided into Legalism, my Shenzhou Thought would definitely be far more brilliant than these Xiyi." ”

As for now, Chen Fusheng also knows that although Legalism has not been broken, and the founding emperors of previous dynasties have one or two Legalist figures as staff officers, once they win the world, Confucianism will replace the position of Legalism and become a prominent scholar, and Legalism has always continued this form.

As for the Mo family, it is even more miserable, although there are still children of the Mo family who have come out, but they have almost forgotten the classics of the Mo Sheng, and blindly worked the creation of organs.

In the land of Xiyi, this "Yazi" has truly become a scholar and a glorious party.

With a long sigh, Chen Fusheng spoke: "Then Mr. Lao will help me find out." ”

The other party handed over a thick book: "This is the table of contents, in addition to the title of the book, it also gives a brief introduction to the contents, you can follow the map." ”

Since this is the case, Chen Fusheng no longer refused, quickly opened the book, and began to look for his favorite book.

The first book is not "Logic" by "Yazi", but a real big guy, "Dictionary of the Language and Writing of the Europa Continent and Shenzhou", the author's position is written with the three big characters of Yuan Tianxiang.

Yuan Tianxiang hurriedly spoke: "Chen Gongzi, this book can't be given to you, my work is just the beginning, but if it is completed by luck and printed and published, I will give you the first dictionary at that time." ”

"Then forget it," Chen Fusheng sighed, no longer insisted, and changed his request: "Then I wonder if I can often come to you in the future to ask you about the customs and culture of these overseas countries, and by the way, I can learn some European languages and scripts from you?"

"That's the best," Yuan Tianxiang nodded in agreement, "But just now I heard that you are already Xie Yuan at a young age, that is, the number one in the lifting people, right, can you also teach me some of the classics of this Great Qi, it is true that although I have learned a lot, I always feel that there is still a layer of difference." ”

"Then let's try to communicate with each other and make progress together. Chen Fusheng smiled and agreed.
