Zhang Siwei and his fellow villagers sat here for a while and then went back, although the Hanlin Courtyard was relatively leisurely, and the time passed after drinking tea and looking at the Di newspaper, but it was still not okay to leave the post for a long time.

After the two left, several people came to visit, after all, Zhu Ping'an's official position was there, from the sixth grade, there are only nine people in this huge Hanlin Academy whose grade is higher than Zhu Ping'an, that is, the bachelor of the academy, the bachelor of waiting, the bachelor of waiting, and the reading and speaking of the sixth grade, and other editing, reviewing, etc. are lower than Zhu Ping'an's grade.

These people visit and visit, and they are respectful, but the sympathy or schadenfreude in their eyes is still indispensable. These people are also the same as Zhang Bo, they know everything about the Hanlin Academy, and they also know everything about the "best of the Hanlin Academy" that Zhu Ping'an is responsible for.

However, Zhu Ping'an's mentality has always been very calm, which made them a little disappointed, and they still wanted to see Zhu Ping'an's worried expression.

After these people left, Zhu Ping'an made himself a pot of tea again, got up and went to the library again, and went to the first floor, second floor, and third floor of the library again. Because there are servants in charge of cleaning the library, the floor and bookcases are very clean, but the books and classics are a little messy.

On the third floor, Zhu Ping'an saw the "Yongle Canon" that later generations could not see, and the "Yongle Canon" of later generations has gone through the baptism of history and war, and only more than 700 volumes have survived in modern times. However, on this third floor, there is a complete set of "Yongle Grand Canon", a full 22,937 volumes, divided into 10,095 volumes, which occupies the third floor of a full six rooms.

Zhu Ping'an remembered that he had read some novels at the starting point before, and he brought his own library. I have a set of encyclopedias and other goldfinger novels in my head, and now that I see this set of "Yongle Canon", Zhu Ping'an feels that he has found a treasure. This is the most complete and largest encyclopedia in the world, and the history and geography of China, literature and art, philosophy and religion and other encyclopedic documents before the Yongle of the Ming Dynasty are all in this set of books. This set of books can almost be said to be a treasure ship full of China's thousand-year-old civilization and culture, and now this ship is in front of my eyes.

Just now, Zhang Bo and the others thought that this was one of the worst errands in the Hanlin Academy, but when they saw the books and classics on the entire floor, especially the Yongle Ceremony, Zhu Ping'an felt that this was the best errand in the Hanlin Academy.

Unlike modern library sorting, the Yongle Canon is not a combination of Chinese pinyin and Arabic numerals. Instead, "Hongwu Zhengyun" was used as the basis for sorting, because there was no such thing as pinyin at that time. According to the map of "Hongwu Zhengyun", you can easily retrieve the books you need from this 10,000 volumes of "Yongle Canon".

Zhu Ping'an took the first volume of "Yongle Canon" from the first bookcase and looked at it carefully. It was found that this set was only a copy, and the outermost part of the book was a layer of yellow silk, and under the yellow silk was a thick and delicate rice paper cover. There is a rectangular bookmark on the yellow silk, and the bookmark reads "Yongle Dadian". There are also two lines of small print below that list the number of volumes in the book.

After you get it. Zhu Ping'an found that there was dust on this book, which shows that this book, to be exact, should be this set of "Yongle Canon", and it should have a considerable idea that no one has read it.

This Yongle Canon is about the first volume, and after Zhu Ping'an opened it, he found that this was about a record of the background of the compilation of the Yongle Canon, and the first page of it was an edict from the Yongle Emperor:

"The ancient and modern things in the world are scattered and recorded in various classics, and the volumes are huge and difficult to retrieve. I want to collect a wide range of things contained in each book and use rhyme to unify them. In order to search, so as to retrieve things. It's as easy as digging for things, I hope you will follow my intentions, and collect the information on astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical calculations, monks, and skills in one book, don't be too complicated."

alas

After reading the edict, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help sighing, it is said that this set of "Yongle Canon" took several years in the Yongle period, and a total of more than 20,000 courtiers and Confucian scholars participated in the compilation. It is said that it took more than 100 calligraphers six years to complete a set of copies!

Such a painstaking "Yongle Ceremony" turned out to be dusty! "Yongle Canon", a forgotten treasure.

Put the book back in its place, Zhu Ping'an walked a few rows along the aisle, chose a bookshelf and a book again, and opened it to read.

This is a military type, Zhu Ping'an opened this page with an interlude, drawing a crossbow style, you can see the use of a brush to draw, but the shape is realistic, very exquisite, the arrows on the bow and crossbow almost broke out.

Curious, Zhu Ping'an turned a few more pages forward, and found that the volume was titled: Divine Arm Bow!

"Divine arm bow, real crossbow also. Take the mountain mulberry as the body, the sandalwood as the bow, the iron as the gun chamber, the steel as the machine, the hemp rope as the string, and the silk as the string. The bow is three feet three feet long, the string is two feet five long, and the arrows are more than three hundred and forty steps away, and the bow can stand on the ground, pull the trigger, and can penetrate the iron armor of 300 steps."

This volume describes the Divine Arm Bow in great detail, from the selection of materials to the production to the use to the description of the arrangement of the troops, and the illustrations in the volume draw each subtle structure of the Divine Arm Bow separately and separately, and every subtle detail is drawn in great detail, Zhu Ping'an can be sure that through this volume, the standard Divine Arm Bow can be copied.

What a great book! Extremely practical.

Zhu Ping'an finished reading the Divine Arm Bow, put the book back in its place, and then walked several rows and chose a book to open.

This book is geographical, the illustrations are extremely rich, the mountains, rivers, city outlines and so on are very detailed, of course, there is no comparison with the current map, in the eyes of Zhu Ping'an, this book describing the geography of Shandong has a lot of errors, but it can not be too demanding, and it is still very standard in general.

If the emperor reads the whole set of geography, he can take his country into his mind while sitting in the study.

If it weren't for lunch time, Zhang Siwei asked himself downstairs to go downstairs to eat together, Zhu Ping'an would definitely be immersed in the "Yongle Canon" and forget to sleep and eat.

"For lunch, let's go and eat with the next students, it is estimated that there will be no chance in the evening, and their Dali Temple will also give them the newly promoted Guanzheng Jinshi to pick up the wind and wash the dust." After Zhu Ping'an went downstairs, Zhang Siwei took Zhu Ping'an out to find Wang Shizhen.

"Are you saying that our Hanlin Academy will also pick up the wind and wash the dust for us at night?" Zhu Ping'an frowned and asked, why do you want to have a wine banquet again, I've drunk a lot of wine these days, but I don't want to drink anymore.

"yes, that's convention. But it's said that it's for us to catch the wind and wash the dust, but in fact, we will pay for it when the time comes," Zhang Siwei said and pouted.

belch

That's not the point, okay.

Eyelids jumped a little, how could he always feel that something was going to happen at the dinner party, Zhu Ping'an rubbed his eyes and followed Zhang Siwei out of the Hanlin Courtyard all the way to the Yamen of Dali Temple. (To be continued.) )
