Millions of volumes!

Now it was Shi Yiwen's turn to be stunned. There were so many!

But in a daze, he was ecstatic and said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, really, are there really so many?"

Well!

Shi Yiwen's reaction made Zhu Yijun stunned. What's wrong with this person?

"Don't you think it's too much?"

“Isn’t it good to have too much?”

"You have to pay for it!"

"Then pay more money!"

Even though he sat in the restaurant beside him, Zhu Yijun still looked at Shi Yiwen with a fool's eyes.

"You really don't think it's too much?"

Once again, Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Why doesn't he think too much?

If it were someone else who heard millions of scrolls, he would not have been scared to death and was invisible, and then knelt down and begged for mercy loudly, crying and saying nonsense, please forgive me, the emperor?

But he was so excited that he even invited himself to the restaurant to discuss in detail.

Isn't this kid a fool?

“There are really so many?”

With a smile on his face, Shi Yiwen's tone was still a little suspicious, why could there be so many?

"What do you know? My secret collections in the Ming Dynasty are the most collected in all dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, the Xuanhe Hall, the Taiqing Tower, and the Longtu Pavilion were all stored in the Jingkang area. After Jingkang, all of these Song Dynasty books captured by the Jin people were secret collections in the Mongol Yuan when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Jin Dynasty. When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan specially ordered Boyan and Jiao Youzhi to take the Lin'an Tu library. In the Song Dynasty, the secret collections in the Song Dynasty, except for the small part lost in the war, most of them became the Mongol Yuan.

In August of the first year of Hongwu, Duke of Wei took Dadu, enfeoffed the treasury books, guarded the palace gate, collected all the Kuizhang Pavilion and the Chongwen Pavilion secretary's books, and then transported them to Nanjing. The collection of books in the Dawei increased greatly, and there were many secret editions of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Even so, Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Chengzu, always issued an edict to search for the suicide notes of the previous dynasty and folk, and vigorously collected the classics from all directions. He even went to Annan, Waguo and other places to seek books. The ministers in the secret treasury collected more than millions of volumes..."

Oh My God!

With his eyes wide open in surprise, Shi Yiwen said in surprise as if he had entered Alibaba's treasure house.

"Those books are here now?"

"After seeing you, you're just a little unaware. I told you that the palace's collection of books is folded and the surroundings are outward. It can be said that insects and rats cannot be damaged, so how could it be gone!"

The guest on the side couldn't help but interrupt.

"It cannot be said that during the Zhengtong period, the Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing suffered a fire, and many books were lost. Many secret books of the Song and Yuan dynasties were destroyed by the fire. It is a pity. However, I think there should be less than a million volumes in Nanjing now..."

After saying that, Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen with a smile.

"How about it, now you know that my secret collection of books in the Ming Dynasty is so huge!"

"Oh, it's really a lot, it's really a lot..."

Shi Yiwen rubbed his hands excitedly, looked at the boy in front of him and said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I really copied all those books?"

Uh... Zhu Yijun was stunned. This kid wasn't fascinated yet.

"Then, that's millions of books. You, do you have that much money!"

"I know, I know, I don't have one now, but I can earn and earn. This opportunity is rare and I can't miss it."

Shi Yiwen, who originally thought that there were only tens of thousands of books, was not scared by the massive collection of books, but instead fell into ecstasy.

Millions of books!

When he was surprised by the large number of books, Shi Yiwen took it for granted. After all, it is a well-known fact that ancient Chinese civilization is no less than or even farther than Western civilization, but why are there so few books?

The famous Alexander Library has hundreds of thousands of books. Whether it is burned does not matter. What is important is that hundreds of years ago, in order to raise funds, Saladin sold more than 20,000 books in the Cairo public library and more than 10,000 books in the Syrian city of Armed Library. Most of the books are classics from ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

The libraries of Western barbarians all have millions of books. Why do ancient Chinese people, who are famous for loving and cherishing books, have only tens of thousands of books? Could it be that the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, have been written by benevolent and sages of all generations written tens of thousands of books?

Is this a fact?

Once again, Shi Yiwen thought of the "Siku Quanshu", the so-called "great achievements", and how thrilling it was. How many ancient books were destroyed? Is it impossible to know where the palace in the Ming Dynasty was hidden?

Why is the brilliant Chinese civilization only a few tens of thousands of books left?

Not only was the book destroyed, but even the stone tablets and cliff carvings on the mountain were destroyed!

Once again, Lu Xun's evaluation of "Siku Quanshu" appeared in Shi Yiwen's mind.

"... They not only disrupted the format of ancient books, but also modified the articles of ancient people. They not only hid it in the court, but also issued a place of popular writing style, so that scholars in the world would never feel that there were people with a lot of backbone among our Chinese authors..."

Yes!

The works of those Chinese sages are the inheritance of civilization. How can we destroy and enslave a nation? That is to destroy their culture. Only in this way can we enslave a nation.

No wonder in the history books of the Qing Dynasty, I couldn’t see how many secret books they obtained from the palace when they entered Beijing. After seizing Nanjing, I didn’t see any records of sending the secret books of Nanjing to the north.

It seems that all the books in the capital were destroyed by Li Zicheng's hands, and all the books in Nanjing were destroyed by the fire and fire of the years.

Yes!

Finally, at this moment, Shi Yiwen found the reason and where the civilization condensed by the hard work of the sages of all generations disappeared!

He was scared silly!

Zhu Yijun seemed to have forgotten his original intention. He was a young man. When he saw Shi Yiwen sitting there dumbly and not talking for a while, he thought he was scared.

How much money is amazing.

If you pay for copying books, I will scare you to death with so many books.

Not to be missed!

How about it, you're scared now!

At this moment, he even forgot the dilemma of paying one or two silver coins, and just looked at Shi Yiwen proudly.

Just like anyone showing off his wealth, after Shi Yiwen showed off for a long time, Zhu Yijun, who was suddenly hit hard, finally made an absolute counterattack. How could he be unhappy?

Just as he was happy, he saw Shi Yiwen standing up and bowing to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Thank you? What are you thanking?

Before Zhu Yijun could react, he heard Shi Yiwen say.

"Thank you for giving me a reason to make money."

The reason for making money? Looking at Shi Yiwen in confusion, Zhu Yijun's face was confused. What did he mean?

"I don't have that much silver now, but silver is always earned by people. In this way, if Your Majesty Xu Chen copied all the books in the big city, I will give Your Majesty twenty first in the past two days. No, a deposit of 300,000 taels, several million taels a year. I think I can always take out this money for more than ten or twenty years."
