Chapter 486: The Eighth Year of Tianqi



You have to know that each of these people has his or her own unique thoughts, and more sparks will be created here.

Now some people have dug out the ancient books and started to carefully select the academic works of various schools. If they find anything useful, they will take it and then put it into the context of Confucianism and spread it.

Nowadays, these people are already very experienced in doing this kind of thing. Confucius has completely become a little princess, and can be dressed up by anyone.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about such things. He was the one who started this trend. Now there was a feeling of Ming Dynasty Renaissance.

Just take the useful things.

Thousands of years of ancient wisdom came to life at this moment.

Zhu Youxiao was also happy to see this situation. He walked forward with his hands behind his back, his face always happy.

After passing through Qixian Hall, Zhu Youxiao and his companion quickly arrived at the library.

As he walked into the library, Zhu Youxiao found that the whole world had become quiet.

No noise is allowed here, and even speaking requires lowering the voice.

The library's courtyard is large, or rather, very large. There are many stone tables and stones placed in the courtyard, and many green plants planted.

Many students were sitting at the stone tables flipping through books, with serious and earnest expressions on their faces.

Zhu Youxiao also saw many elderly people who were also holding books and looking at them with frowns on their brows.

This is the Royal Library. In addition to the students from the Royal Academy, there are also many people coming into the city.

Some famous scholars and ministers in the court all had licenses.

It is impossible to keep everyone out. If that were the case, this would become the library of the Royal Academy instead of the Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for limiting the number of people is simply because too many people want to come. If a place like a library is overcrowded, it will not be a good scene.

The most important thing is to limit the flow of people coming in and not let them steal the books. You know, there are many people who covet the books in the Daming Royal Library.

However, Zhu Youxiao also had some popular editions printed and sold, and there were also different locations here. The more important the book, the higher the borrowing level required.

Zhu Youxiao strolled with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of reading the books here, so he turned around and walked to the back.

After passing through the corridor, Zhu Youxiao came to a small courtyard.

At this point, his face became serious.

After stepping in, Zhu Youxiao saw the guards at the door.

Zhu Youxiao had been to many places, but none of them had such tight guards as this place.

A simple place that seems extraordinary.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care; he still walked inside.

On the contrary, when the guards saw Zhu Youxiao, they knelt on the ground and saluted him.

It is obvious that these people knew the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it can also be seen that Zhu Youxiao often came here.

As he stepped in, Zhu Youxiao saw people busy coming and going inside.

This is the world of Ming Dynasty culture and the gathering place of Ming Dynasty culture.

Why do you say that?

Because this is where books were edited for Zhu Youxiao.

The host was called Wang Zheng, an old man in his fifties, who married a fifteen-year-old girl as his concubine.

This concubine should be eighteen years old now, right? Or in her twenties?

Zhu Youxiao no longer paid attention to it. Anyway, the old man still hadn't given birth to a son. Obviously, his inability to give birth to a son was not his wife's problem, but his own problem.

After studying natural sciences, especially the medical knowledge from the West, especially some of the knowledge that Zhu Youxiao asked him to compile, Wang Zheng sometimes regretted it.

In Wang Zheng's words, marrying such a young woman at such an old age was already a sin. As for his Catholic faith, it was no longer as devout as it once was.

The reason was very simple. Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Zheng to compile a history of Catholicism, clearly presenting the entire missionary history to him.

It was bloody and messy, with things like atonement money and the Crusades.

Wang Zheng then realized one thing: Catholicism was no different from Buddhism and Taoism. As for the things he liked, they were no different from religions either.

In the words of His Majesty, this is called natural science. When these people were preaching, they used natural science to deceive people a lot.

After Zhu Youxiao told Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng completely changed his beliefs and is now a firm believer in Scientology.

Zhu Youxiao sent Wang Zheng here to edit books. The books he edited were not ordinary books, but books from later generations.
