Chapter 434: Super big harvest, so cool!

The Yongle Encyclopedia is a collection of ancient Chinese classics compiled by Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, under the orders of Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others.

It was originally named "Wenxian Dacheng", but later Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty wrote the preface himself and named it "Yongle Dadian". The book consists of 22877 volumes (60 volumes of catalogue, a total of 22937 volumes), 11095 volumes, about 3.7 million words, and collects to books from ancient times to the present.

The editing team consisted of more than 3,000 people, and it took five years to complete the book!

The contents of the Yongle Encyclopedia include classics, history, philosophy, and collections, covering astronomy and geography, yin and yang, medicine, divination, Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agronomy, covering the knowledge wealth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

In its "Encyclopedia" entry, the Encyclopedia Britannica calls the Yongle Encyclopedia, a Chinese Ming Dynasty encyclopedia, "the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world" and it has become an important symbol of Chinese culture.

The largest encyclopedia the world has ever seen!!
Looking at the old and yellowed book in his hand, Wu Youde recalled the description, introduction and praise of this book that he had read in the textbook...

My heart is beating fast and I’m excited!
Wu Youde looked up at the six-meter-tall bookshelves in front of him, which were lined up side by side and covered the entire wall, his eyes sparkling.

Could it be that all the items stored here are from the Yongle Encyclopedia?

Is it a full set? ?

Wu Youde's heart began to pound. By later generations, only about 800 copies of the Yongle Encyclopedia were left in the world, most of which were stored overseas, and only about 130 copies were left in the country.

The remaining 9,000-plus volumes were all destroyed in theft, looting, fire and war, and have disappeared without a trace. It has to be said that this is a great regret, a regret for the entire Chinese nation!

If there was a complete set of the Yongle Encyclopedia here...

This is of great significance. It will greatly promote the study of Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years. It is of far-reaching significance and immeasurable!

All in all, this is a great thing!

Wu Youde put the book in his hand back to its original place and quickly took out another one...

Volume 2267 of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

He pulled out another...

Volume 2266 of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

Pull out another one...

Volume 2265 of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

……

This grid contains the Yongle Encyclopedia.

Change to the next grid.

"Yongle Encyclopedia".

Change again...

"Yongle Encyclopedia".

……

Because this bookshelf is too big and has too many compartments,

It was impossible to take out all the books in the grids and check them in a short period of time. It was too time-consuming, so he checked a few grids and then started random checks.

Randomly draw books from some grids and see what books they are...

This greatly improves efficiency.

After half an hour,
The bookshelves along the entire south wall were randomly checked, and all the books that were checked were...

Yongle Encyclopedia!!

Wu Youde stood there, looking up at the densely packed grids. He was in a very good mood and his mouth was grinning with joy.

Damn, all of these are the Yongle Encyclopedia. How many copies are there? Is this really a complete set?
He Shen is pretty awesome! !

Subsequently,

He began to count the grids. One grid could hold twenty books. He wanted to see how many grids there were...

Five minutes later, the count was finally completed.

No more, no less, exactly six hundred grids.

Wu Youde's mind raced, and he immediately calculated that this wall contained about 12,000 books, a number that was not much different from the 11,095 volumes in the complete set of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

There is only a difference of nine hundred.

Wu Youde felt that he had guessed correctly, a complete copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia should be hidden here! !

"He Zhongtang is awesome!!"

He looked at the bookshelf and exclaimed in admiration with all his heart, feeling so happy in his heart.

How should I put it? Just for this set of "Yongle Encyclopedia", Wu Youde felt that the trip was worth it. It is not only a culture, but also a heritage from thousands of years ago.

Although the Yongle Encyclopedia was revised and compiled during the Ming Dynasty,
But at that time, Emperor Yongle issued an edict to the world calling on his subjects to donate books. Anyone who donated books would be rewarded. At that time, people from all over the country donated books enthusiastically. Not only ordinary people, but also many great scholars of the time, local gentry and officials, etc.

Among them are many rare ancient books, including bamboo slips from the Qin and Han dynasties, which are all-encompassing and vast.

therefore,

It is no exaggeration to say that this set of books is a thousand-year-old heritage, and it may even be a bit of an understatement.

……

After looking at the bookshelves on the south wall,

Then the only wall left in the room was the north wall, and Wu Youde became even more curious.

What kind of books are stored on the bookshelves on this wall?

At least it shouldn’t be worse than the Yongle Encyclopedia!
He walked over and casually pulled out a book...

Eh?
"Complete Library in Siku".

Good guy.

It is indeed no worse than the Yongle Encyclopedia!
The Siku Quanshu was compiled based on the Yongle Encyclopedia, with other books collected from all over the country.

Therefore, it is larger in scale and more diverse in variety.

It took thirteen years to compile.

It is divided into four parts: Jing, Shi, Zi and Ji, hence the name "Siku".

It contains 3462 kinds of books, 79338 volumes in total (3.5 times the size of the Yongle Encyclopedia), more than 36000 volumes, and about million words!
The Yongle Encyclopedia is the largest encyclopedia in the world's history.

The Siku Quanshu is the richest and most complete integration of Chinese traditional culture.

Almost all disciplines of Chinese literature, history, philosophy, science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine can find their source and bloodline in it.

However, it’s not all advantages.

In the process of compiling the Siku Quanshu,
Anyone who was considered by the Qing Dynasty rulers to be against ethical principles, not in accordance with morality and morality, ridiculing the ancestors of the Manchus, and endangering the ruling status of the dynasty,

All of them are banned, this is another catastrophe of banning and destroying books...

However, its merits outweigh its flaws. This book still has extremely high learning and research value and occupies a very important position in the history of the entire Chinese nation.

After another random check,
Wu Youde was surprised to find that the north wall was actually deep and had three rows of bookshelves.

All of them are from the Siku Quanshu.

At this time, he was too lazy to check. The Siku Quanshu was compiled by Emperor Qianlong, and Heshen was the most popular person under Emperor Qianlong. With his power, it was too easy for him to get a set of Siku Quanshu and have someone copy it.

I'm afraid it's just a matter of one sentence.

After the inspection,

Wu Youde had a new understanding of Heshen, the corrupt official. This man not only loved money, but also believed in Buddhism. In addition, he was a person who valued learning and respected books.

Everything is low-grade, but reading is high-grade!
Heshen should have thought so too.

if not,

He would not go to great lengths to collect the two Chinese nation's heritage works, the Yongle Encyclopedia and the Siku Quanshu, in this underground treasure house. I think he wanted to leave them for his descendants.

Now it’s a bargain for myself.

……

Once Wu Youde had gone through the entire cellar, the rest was easy.

With a thought, the system's backpack space opened.

Wherever his eyes fell, whatever he wanted to collect...

As the thought moves,
Those things disappeared out of thin air in an instant and appeared directly in the space of his backpack. The efficiency was very high. In just a circle, all the calligraphy and paintings, books, and even the bookcase made of golden nanmu in the entire north gate room were collected.

The north gate was completely empty, followed by the south gate, west gate, east gate, and finally the hall...

About ten minutes later,
All the things in the cave were put into Wu Youde's backpack.

As soon as these things entered the backpack, the quantity automatically appeared in his mind. This was the feedback from the backpack.

Six hundred and fifty million taels of silver.

One hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold.

A red coral tree.

A pillow made of mutton-fat jade for a beautiful woman.

A pair of red and blue acacia vases.

……

Looking at the information fed back from my backpack,
Wu Youde suddenly felt dizzy and his throat was dry. He thought that he could spend his life as he pleased.

No matter how much you squander, you should never run out of money!
Just thinking about it is very exciting.

After clearing out the entire cave, Wu Youde returned the same way. When he returned to the ground, he felt a little excited.

Making a fortune, even the time travel emperor couldn't remain calm at this time.

What happened next was a bit boring.

Wu Youde, who had just made a fortune, rolled up his sleeves and started mixing cement. All the materials were prepared in advance, including the tools, and they were all ready for him to start.

And cement, paste the walls.

When Wu Youde pulled out the brick just now, he deliberately did not damage the brick, maintaining its integrity so that it could be restored to its original position at this moment.

By the time he finished plastering the wall, it was already dark. He took some water from his backpack, washed himself briefly, changed into clean clothes, and then left the backyard and returned home.

He came quietly, waved his sleeves, and did not take away a cloud.

……

After the treasures in the underground of Prince Gong's Mansion were uncovered,

Wu Youde now had one more thing to do every day, which was reading.

The Yongle Encyclopedia is very famous and has been passed down through the ages. There are countless allusions, legends and praises about it.

Now I have a complete set of the Yongle Encyclopedia.
He naturally wanted to take a look at this legendary masterpiece and see if it was as good and awesome as the legend said...

Time passed quietly as Wu Youde flipped through the pages of the book...

Before we knew it, it was already the Lunar New Year of 1955...

Wu Youde is a bit busy this Spring Festival.

He began to entertain guests and engage in social activities.

Most of the time, they can't be avoided and have to go.

New Year's Day,

The courtyard was bustling with people, filled with laughter, and the air was filled with the aroma of various meats.

Wu Youde held a grand banquet at home. All the women in the family helped out and cooked several of their specialties, and then counted the dishes at the end.

Good guy.

twenty four!
A dish for each solar term is really appropriate.

The whole family had a delicious meal together, and then they drank tea, chatted and played cards. This time they played real cards.

Wu Youde invented playing cards, which are simple and easy to learn. You can learn them in no time.

Very popular with family members!

Even a few children sat at the same table and were having fun there.

……

The second day of the new year.

back home.

However, currently only Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei enjoy this treatment. The others either have no parents' home or their parents' home is too far away.

For example, lights.

……

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, Wu Youde became busy.

He visited Feng Sicong, Sun Shen, Lu Ji, Mao Shangshu, Shu Qingchun, Zhang Henshui, Li Yaochen and others one by one.

Of course, for some people, it’s not okay to just visit their home and not eat.

For example, Feng Sicong and Li Yaochen.

The former is that the two people have a very good relationship, so how can they not have a meal when they go to a friend's house?

The latter is the elder, the future grandfather.

I sent the old man's granddaughter to Kowloon, thousands of miles away, and she didn't come back during the New Year. Shouldn't I go over and have a few more drinks with the old man?
This series of events takes about three days.

Then he would entertain guests at home. For example, Le Wenyuan, Zongren, Suo Qian, Feng Sicong, Shen Wenjun and others would also come to his house to sit and visit.

This reception lasted another four or five days.

On the tenth day, Wu Youde went to Lou Zhenhua's house.

During the Chinese New Year, he called Lou Zhenhua's home. Lou Zhenhua said that day that news had been sent back from Qian'an that a discovery had been made during the exploration, and he had to rush there as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Wu Youde did not go to pay New Year's greetings to Lou Zhenhua during the New Year holidays.

It was not until the ninth day of the New Year that Lou Zhenhua called and said that he had returned.

……

What gifts should we give for Chinese New Year?
Wu Youde was not at all conflicted. He gave Guilingji wine to the man and Dingkun wine to the woman.

Everyone loves you, and flowers bloom.

No matter who they were, whether male or female, they were all grinning from ear to ear.

Of course, if it is the first time to receive these two gifts, I will still be a little curious...

Lou Zhenhua asked: "What kind of wine is this? What are its effects?"

Wu Youde smiled mysteriously and said calmly: “The recipe handed down from my family has the effect of prolonging life, strengthening the physique, and strengthening the kidneys and body.

It is a bit strong and can only be taken once a day, one drop at most at a time.

You will be satisfied! "

Then, he introduced to Tan Yali the effects of Dingkun Wine, which was also an ancestral recipe that could beautify the skin, nourish qi and blood, delay aging, etc.

Tan Yali's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was so excited that she wanted to unscrew the lid and drink two cups to see the effect...

……

After some pleasantries,
Lou Zhenhua invited Wu Youde to his study and first asked him about the house in Prince Gong's Mansion. Wu Youde said that he had already bought it and expressed his gratitude.

Unexpectedly,

However, Lou Zhenhua said that he actually did not put in any effort. On that day, he asked Shuntianfu Yi to look into the matter. Not long after, the other party called him and said, "Old Lou, aren't you wasting your time?"

Lou Zhenhua hurriedly asked what was going on?

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture said that Qinglong was a member of the Ministry of Rites, and Shangshu Mao was very fond of him, so this little thing was not worth mentioning.

Only then did Lou Zhenhua realize that the workers in his factory at that time have grown to such a level now, and are far more outstanding than he thought.

They all became friends with a Shangshu.

……

Wu Youde smiled and shook his head.

He said, "I still want to thank you for your help, Director. If you hadn't helped me bring it up, I wouldn't know how to ask the Ministry of Rites for it. I still have to thank you."

Lou Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "If I have to thank someone, I should thank you."

"Our exploration team has found an iron ore bed in Qian'an. The ore is very rich in iron. Experts speculate that it is very likely to be an open-pit iron mine.

What remains is to verify the production, but we don’t know whether it is a rich ore or a poor ore.

Youde, thank you so much this time!! "

Lou Zhenhua picked up the teacup and said in a deep voice, "Come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

"You're too polite, Director."

Wu Youde smiled and raised his glass to greet him.

……

After staying at Lou's house for a day, Wu Youde went back.

Lou Zhenhua talked a lot with him, mostly about the future development of the steel rolling mill, and also asked Wu Youde for his opinion.

Now Lou Zhenhua is becoming more and more interested in Wu Youde. He does not look down on him at all because of his young age. He has completely placed him on an equal footing with himself, or even slightly higher than himself.

As for Lou Zhenhua's question,
Wu Youde did not hide anything and answered all the questions wholeheartedly, putting himself in the other's shoes and offering advice. As one asked the questions and the other answered them, the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Talk to the end,
Wu Youde was about to say goodbye when Lou Zhenhua suddenly asked a question that stunned him.

Lou Zhenhua asked: "Youde, who do you think can follow? Who can I rely on?"

Ok?
Wu Youde was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant.

This is because he thinks he is a fortune teller and wants me to show him a clear path...

The iron ore has been found, which proves Wu Youde's strength.

If you don't use such a great person, you are a fool.

……

In response to the questions raised by Lou Zhenhua,

Wu Youde was a little hesitant for a moment. It was not that he didn't want to tell Lou Zhenhua. Lou Zhenhua had been regarded as a key support target by him. And with Lou Xiaoe around, who else could he support if not him?
While others hope their fathers will become successful, he hopes his father-in-law will become successful.

It can be said that they have reached the same destination through different paths.

Wu Youde hesitated because he didn't know how to answer...

Or rather, he didn't know who to talk to.

After all, the future situation is so severe and the variables are so great that it is difficult to describe and unspeakable.

I thought about it for a while.

Wu Youde said calmly: "As long as He is alive, you should try your best to get closer to Him. He is our purple gold beam that spans the sea and our white jade pillar that supports the sky."

"Who?"

"General manager."

"……it is good."

Lou Zhenhua's eyes flickered, he understood instantly, and nodded heavily.

Then he asked again: "Then...if He..."

"Be careful in what you say and do, wait for the fog to dissipate, it won't be far away!" Wu Youde said calmly.

"..."

Lou Zhenhua thought for a moment and nodded again.
