Chapter 59 Wende Palace

  In Wende Hall, Chen Xiyi was flipping through an ancient book. With the language pack that comes with Homeland Games, he can still understand all kinds of books in Wende Hall.

   But there is such a small problem, that is sentence segmentation.

  He is not from a major, so he can read and write, but he can’t break sentences. He can understand the words, but it’s a bit difficult to read if you want to link them together.

   If the sentence is not properly broken, the meaning will become weird.

  The diary of the true disciple of Shanhe Sect that I read before is different. The other party writes in a diary, so he prefers vernacular Chinese and writes casually.

  In the Dali Kingdom, this vernacular is not allowed to enter the palace, and the ancient books of the sages all use this kind of awkward classical Chinese.

   It's not that Chen Xiyi has nothing to do to look at the ancient books, but mainly because he thinks that the royal family's collection of books is extremely rich, and it's good to read more.

  For example, what he is reading now is a book of the travels of the sages, and it is okay to read, but it is the whole story that gives him a headache.

  What he needs is not great principles, and he can still be ignorant of principles.

   What Chen Xiyi is looking for is the records related to those sects before the end of the Dharma, not the principles of governing the country and being a human being. These principles are of no use to him.

  The truth is good, but it’s like chicken soup, you have to have something suitable for the crowd.

   This is the same as asking Chen Xiyi to reason with red-named NPCs and red-named monsters. He is already very restrained in sending these red-named people on the road without an alloy musket, and he still goes up to reason with them.

  After casually flipping through the travel notes in hand, nine and a half pages out of ten pages are about expressing emotions with scenery, and the remaining half page is about scenery and local characteristics.

   I flipped through a few more books to get started, and found out that they are basically the same way, which made Chen Xiyi feel a little distressed.

  This is no serious travel notes

  Oh, serious travel notes may not be included at all.

  Even if this kind of travel note is not written in vernacular, it will be included in miscellaneous books due to the nature of the article itself.

  In the Dali Kingdom, there is a kind of ethos that all things are inferior, but reading is high. Although it has not yet reached the level of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, there is a vague situation of scholars who are inherently superior.

   "Travel notes are such a virtue, if they are serious articles." Chen Xiyi thinks that it is inconceivable that these can fill an entire palace.

   That's right, he doesn't read books, so naturally he doesn't have much interest in these principles.

  If someone tells him that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, he will fall asleep listening to it, but if he tells him some gossip and cross talk, he will not only listen to it with gusto, but also order melon seeds tea.

   It took most of the day to spot-check a large number of classics in Wende Palace, and they were basically the same type of great truth.

   "Are there any other classics, such as medical books, travel notes, yin and yang theory, geomantic omens and landforms?" Chen Xiyi asked helplessly as he put the books back on the shelf.

  Huangmen, who was waiting on the side, hurried over: "I tell the gods that these books are stored in the side hall."

   "Lead the way." Chen Xiyi said immediately.

  To be honest, he would rather read medical books than read these big principles. Firstly, he doesn’t need them, and secondly, empty talk is useless. After learning it, he can’t use it to fill other people with chicken soup.

   "Shangxian, please." As he said that, the Huangmen clapped his hands, and the other waiting Huangmen also moved, and went ahead to arrange matters.

   This feeling is still very comfortable, at least Chen Xiyi doesn't have to do those trivial chores.

  'Then Lu Xian succeeded in ascending to the throne and became the queen, which is really a good way, but with Lu Xian who is a good planner, Wang Li will be much more relaxed, and he should be handy in helping me collect the things I need. '

  Walking on the road, Chen Xiyi kept thinking about this matter in his mind.

  Of course he can’t find it all by himself. With the existence of the Dali Dynasty, it is natural to use it.

   In this way, the efficiency will be much faster.

   This is not a single operation, but the coordination of various departments, and the operation efficiency is extremely fast.

  Especially everyone in the court wanted to curry favor with such a flying fairy like Chen Xiyi, but if he showed his face, it might be of great benefit to teach a fairy method.

  So the court, which has always been at odds, is rarely reconciled on one matter. Although it shows that fighting secretly is still inevitable, it is still working hard in one direction anyway.

  Chen Xiyi followed the yellow gate into the side hall of Wende Hall.

  Although this side hall is also clean and tidy, it is still a lot worse than the main hall where the ancient books of great principles are stored.

  For example, instead of being placed on a bookshelf, they are stacked in a box, and then sorted out roughly. You have to find what books you want by yourself.

  Where like the main hall, there are not only more detailed classifications, but also a series of information such as the name, time, author, etc. on the cabinet of each book.

   "How many books are there in the side hall?" Chen Xiyi asked.

   "There are 1,372 volumes in total." Huang Men replied hurriedly.

  Chen Xiyi frowned: "So few?"

Among other things, there are about 100,000 books in the main hall, but there are only 1,300 books in the side hall. The difference is ridiculous. Don't look at the number of books, but the number of words is actually not many. Less than a thousand words, just like short stories, can be counted as one volume.

   "Shangxian, these miscellaneous books cannot enter the Wende Palace, so they have been deleted, and the miscellaneous books are scarce, so there are only 1,372 volumes left." Huangmen replied cautiously.

  Hearing this, Chen Xiyi seemed to be able to keep 1,372 volumes thanks to the presence of such a side hall, or they might have all been deleted.

   "Well, I see." After Chen Xiyi answered briefly, he picked up a book and began to read.

  How should I put it, it's much more interesting than the general principles outside.

   Seeing this, those Huangmen didn't dare to say anything, so they had to wait by their side.

  Wang Li was correcting the memorial at the desk, listening to the reports from his servants from time to time, then abruptly put down the pen, rubbed his temples, and thought to himself: 'This emperor is really hard to do. '

   Then he opened his mouth and asked: "Do you have an idea of ​​what the Shangxian needs?"

   "The Hanlin Academy is already sorting out, and it will probably be sorted into a book in a few days." The attendant at the side responded quickly.

   "How about the folk collection?"

   "It has been sent to various places together with the announcement, but it will take time to receive letters."

   Between the two of them asking and answering, they briefly explained the context of the matter.

   "Hurry up, there are still those earth, rocks, gold and silver, let the people in the Sixth Department dispatch them as soon as possible." Wang Li said, holding his forehead.

  He eats these spiritual food supplements every day, and he is rewarded from time to time, so the stock of these things is actually not large, and he may run out of them if he is not careful.

   "Yes, Your Majesty." The valet had no choice but to urge the six officials to move faster, what else could they do.
