Chapter 970 Jin Yan Nuan, Yi Shui Han (Three updates in one, please vote for me)
Xia Xun returned to the library and went into the study. After about half an hour, he called Xin Lei and Fei Hewei to go in.&*.
．
com fastest update** The two of them entered the study room and saw Xia Xun sealing a letter with wax, and there was a pile of letters on the table.
Xia Xun called the two of them to come closer, picked up a letter he had written a long time ago, handed it to Fei Hewei and said: "Go to Liaodong quickly, give this letter to Kaiyuan Hou Dingyu, and ask Liaodong Chief Envoy Wan Shiyu to command the envoys.
Zhang Jun and him, the three of them started the journey together, obey the instructions, do not delay, and get on the road immediately!"
"Yes! I obey my orders!" Fei Hewei didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly put away the letter, gave Xia Xun a heavy fist, turned and walked out of the study.
Xia Xun handed the letter he had just written to Xin Lei along with the other two letters and said, "You must return to Jinling quickly and hand this letter directly to the director of Dongchang Factory, Mu'en.
The stakes are too high to be careless!”
Xin Lei agreed, and just after receiving the letter, Xia Xun said again: "After completing this matter, you will transfer to Suzhou and his party to see Song Hu, the Marquis of Xining, and then transfer to Shuangyu in eastern Zhejiang to hand the letter to Xu
Hu."
Xin Lei was stunned and said: "In that case, wouldn't it be good for me to go to Suzhou first and then turn back to the southeast, and go to Jinling and Shuangyu? Now, we have to take a lot of wrongful roads?"
Xia Xun said: "Things have their own priorities. The message to Mu En is the most important and cannot be delayed, so we have to go to Jinling first. As for Suzhou and Shuangyu, one to the east and one to the west, it doesn't matter which way you want to go first."
.”
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Looking for a long time hurts the blood, lying down for a long time hurts the qi, sitting for a long time hurts the flesh, and standing for a long time hurts the bones. You should walk more. Move around, and your kidneys will have enough water!"
After hearing this, Xin Lei immediately bowed his hand to Xia Xun and ran away without even letting go.
Xia Xun walked out of the study room with a smile. The little girl Xian Ya hurriedly turned around from the corner of the study room. When she saw Xia Xun standing there, she couldn't stop herself in a hurry and almost plunged into his arms. Xia Xun reached out and reached for
Xian Ya pressed her shoulder, and a strong force came down, locking her there, and said funnyly: "You girl, what have you done in such a hurry?"
Xian Ya knew that her master had a gentle temperament, so she was not afraid of him. She stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Master, there are two adults who are anxious to see you. The maid just invited them into the living room. They both said it was important.
Report all official matters to the master!"
"Oh?" Xia Xun said doubtfully, "I'll go take a look!"
In the living room, two officials were sitting there drinking tea and chatting with each other. Xia Xun stepped in and Xian Ya said: "Two adults, our master is here!"
The two officials quickly put down their teacups and came forward to pay their respects. Once their names were exchanged, it turned out that one of them was Ye Jinting, a doctor of the Five Classics of Hanlin Academy, and the other was Chen Wentao, the deputy supervisor of Qintian Supervisor. Although they came to the hotel together, they were not for the same purpose.
Something happened.
Dr. Hanlin Ye Jinting came from Jinling. Since the "Yongle Dadian" had been compiled, Emperor Yongle ordered him to escort the Dadian to Beijing and store it in Beijing.
This treasure collection has gathered thousands of celebrities from all over the country, exhausting all the classics and articles from the Three Emperors and Five Dynasties to the Yongle year of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be a peerless and priceless treasure. Yongle wanted to create this cultural and educational event, of course, for the sake of the world's scholars, but
Now that such an academic general outline has been compiled, of course I don't want to leave it in a treasure trove and let it decay.
Just compiling this collection cost a lot of money. Even if the imperial court printed and distributed such a huge series of books, it would still be an unbearable expense. Moreover, this collection was all-inclusive, and it was impossible for the common people to have enough financial resources to purchase the entire collection.
There is no need to keep the entire collection.
Zhu Di still remembered the method Xia Xun said at the beginning, so he could copy it in various bookstores, print a part of it each, and publish and sell it exclusively. In this way, this academic treasure can be truly used and benefited the people, and it can also make it
It spreads its branches and leaves and spreads all over the world. Therefore, after the treasure book is transported to Beijing, it must be handled accordingly.
Xia Xun is now on a secret mission, and Zhu Di doesn't want him to be distracted from handling this matter. This matter was originally led by King Zhao and handled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, the whole plan originally came from Xia Xun, so Zhu Di ordered Ye Jinting to
I went to see Xia Xun when I brought the treasure to Beijing.
Xia Xun was not asked to take care of this matter, but he supervised and advised the entire arrangement and cooperated with King Zhao and the Ministry of Transport. After Dr. Ye arrived in Beijing, he immediately went to see King Zhao. As a result, King Zhao was not in Beijing, and now the treasure book is transported
The large cars were still parked in the city and had not been settled, so they hurriedly came to see Xia Xun.
Xia Xun listened to his explanation and asked the imperial eunuch Chen Wentao about his purpose. However, what Chen Wentao said was about the construction of the observatory.
Beijing originally had an observatory, which was built during the Jin Dynasty. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, astronomical instruments were transported from Bianjing to Beijing and an observatory was built. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it was expanded into the largest in the world at that time.
The Observatory, where Guo Shoujing observed the sky at night, calculated that a year is 365.2425 days, which is only 26 seconds different from the current world-recognized value. The accuracy is frighteningly high.
The Ming Dynasty established its capital in Jinling, and the observatory was located in Jinling. However, when Zhu Di came to the throne, he reopened the Beijing Observatory, so that there were two observatories in the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, the Beijing Observatory has recorded no less than 1,400 observatories orbiting the sky over China.
According to the conditions of the stars, solar and lunar eclipses can be accurately predicted, and the positions of the Southern Cross and Canopus in the southern hemisphere can be determined.
With accurate astrological research, we can accurately locate locations around the world, and we can also use the method of "crossing the ocean to guide the stars" to determine ocean routes, which is of great significance.
The Qintian Supervisor studied astronomical phenomena and felt that only astronomical data from Beijing and Nanjing were not enough for reference. After comparison and discussion, he felt that several astronomical observatories could be built in foreign countries and regularly report data to the Qintian Supervisor.
It is beneficial to the study of celestial phenomena, but for such a big matter, Qin Tian Jianzheng is only a seventh-rank official, how can he have the courage to advise the emperor?
It was rare for an official as big as Xia Xun to be responsible for inspecting and supervising the construction of Beijing. If he were to advise the emperor, the weight of his words would be different. Therefore, Chen Wentao mustered up the courage to come and advise Xia Xun. In front of Xia Xun,
Chen Wentao was a little timid and hesitant, and it took him a long time to explain his purpose.
Xia Xun pondered for a while and then laughed loudly and said: "This is a good thing, but most of the surrounding countries are not very stable. If we want to build an observatory, it seems that only North Korea and Japan are possible at the moment. Look at these two
How is the land?"
Chen Wentao was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "It's enough to build star observatories in these two places!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "In that case, you will write down the detailed situation and I will report it to you before the emperor! The emperor issued an order to order Korea and Japan to establish observatories respectively to cooperate with our Ming Dynasty Heavenly Prison's astrological research.
!”
Chen Wentao burst into tears of gratitude, and left with a lot of thanks. Xia Xun thought about the fact that he had just returned from Ji Gang, and there would be no news today, so it would be okay to leave for a while, so he said to Ye Jinting: "Dr. Ye, King Zhao wants to
I will be back in two days. I will go with you to store the "Yongle Dadian" in the palace. When the King of Han comes back, we will discuss with His Highness the matter of printing and issuance."
Ye Jinting nodded in agreement. Xia Xun had not changed his clothes since he returned home, so he and Ye Jinting left the hotel again.
"Yongle Dadian" has 60 volumes of catalog alone, 22,877 volumes of text, bound into 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words, and brings together seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient and modern books. Seeing the volumes of books being moved into the warehouse, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel excited
A sense of pride arises.
At this time, in Europe, there were only six handwritten books in Henry V's library, three of which were borrowed from convents! At the same time, the richest businessman in Europe, the Florentine Francesco Datini, also
It has only twelve books, eight of which are religious books.
And what about the Ming Dynasty? At this time, the Ming Dynasty was the well-deserved cultural center of the world.
Beijing has gradually shown its royal demeanor, and Ming Dynasty has gradually shown its royal capital demeanor.
As long as the matter over there is solved...
Xia Xun quietly turned his gaze to the north.
Different from other countries in Europe and Africa, the geopolitical structure and ethnic distribution made the powerful nomadic people around the Han people in the Central Plains a lingering nightmare. Like maggots attached to bones, they always posed a powerful threat to the Central Plains. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties,
, when it was no longer possible for the Western Region to form an existence powerful enough to threaten the Central Plains regime, the north became the only enemy.
"As long as we solve it again..."
Xia Xun secretly thought: "Yongle was a hero of the generation. He made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, Wu Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. However, he only failed to achieve success. Although the northern wolf was beaten to death in his hands, he fled with his tail between his legs. After all,
He was injured but did not die, leaving behind troubles. (See the latest update of this book) Since God sent me to help him fill in the gaps, as long as I solve the problem, my merits will be complete. By then..."
Xia Xun slowly raised his gaze, looking at the large black lacquered gold plaque on the top of the palace, "Wenyuan Pavilion", then slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on a streak of white clouds under the blue sky.
The white clouds are leisurely, east and west...

"Summoned by the Great Khan!"
The nine contestants in three rows who finished third in the competition walked onto the high platform with their chests held out and their bellies high.
Jinchuan was still wearing "Zhao Dege" wrestling uniforms, and Tang Wei and Zhao Feng were also wearing bright costumes. When they stepped onto the highest floor of the three-story platform, they stood still and stared at Yang Gen, who was standing behind Wansongling.
Looking sideways, his hand gently moved to the handle of the knife.
Jinchuan, Tang Wei and Zhao Feng stood in the middle row. The three people in front stepped forward, stroking their chests and bowing their waists. Wan Songling stood up together with Hashiha and Mahamu on the left and right, and held up the ribbon representing the winner with a smile.
Putting it around their necks, he asked someone to hold the tray and pick up the big wooden bowl filled with spirits. The three contestants took the wooden bowl, drank the wine in the bowl, shined the bowl, put it back on the plate, and then stepped back.
Stand aside.
Jinchuan took a step forward expressionlessly. Zhao Feng took a step forward almost at the same time as him. However, Tang Wei seemed a little nervous and was delayed for a moment, one step slower than them. Mahamu, Hashiha and others
Seeing his embarrassed look, he couldn't help laughing. Wan Songling's eyes jumped sharply twice and he laughed a few times.
The three of them caressed their chests and bowed their heads. The cheers from the audience, the horses neighing in the distance, the singing and dancing in front of the stage, and the chatter and laughter of the leaders before the banquet suddenly seemed to be shielded by an invisible membrane, and the ear drums swelled.
, they can only hear their own heartbeat.
